@Deepfriedokra:Changing my request I am requesting to change my name to the correct name Ved Vyas.Chief Minister (Talk) 17:36, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Stopped again. "The chosen username is too similar to existing usernames or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed: VedVyas and Vedvyas" You might try the Stewards. They can override where I cannot.. m:Steward requests/Username changes --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:55, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

77832

m:Special:GlobalRenameQueue/request/77832 - the reason sounded like a WP:COMPROMISED account? Cabayi (talk) 15:36, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

@Cabayi: I thought that at first, but 1) that username had to go, and 2) he has one crack at unblocking at UTRS left. I removed TPA. (Would he need access to account to request rename?) Dubious on the "son." That's like "my dog ate my homework". Just more trolling. And of poor quality as well. Also, not saying, "my son used my account". Saying "my son made the account; now he's grounded." --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

I read it the other way around, that the father had hijacked the son's account. The son created it, the father's using it to appeal? Ah, the lovely ambiguities of English.

The path from claims of WP:LITTLEBROTHER to a block for WP:COMPROMISED has always appeared short and clear in my view. Cabayi (talk) 15:52, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

I could reblock for compromised plus the rest and reference the global renamer ticket. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:20, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Hah. "father" doing his dadly duty in going to bat for his son. How paternal. Father of the Yea. Don't really believe that. I think it's one incredible bored and possibly troubled individual seeking human contact the only way they can. By vandalizing Wikipedia. --Deepfriedokra (talk)

Regarding your Eric André protection

Just noticed that you protected the Eric André article due to the persistent vandalism that's been happening and wanted to point out that the same user, using multiple anonymous IP addresses, has been making similar changes to other Lion King related articles like Keegan-Michael Key, List of The Lion King (franchise) characters, Cheech Marin, and The Lion King 1½. Wasn't sure if there was a simple way to address this for all of the articles or if a process needs to be gone through for each one individually but wanted to point it out.

Michel Vorm

Hello.

I just want to point out that I tried to engage in conversation with the other editor on their talk page, but they deleted it and denied me the conversation.

When I made the first edit, I explained it in a comment. When it was reverted, I got this message: "Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Michel Vorm, did not appear constructive and has been reverted."

The relevant editor has made no efforts to explain to me what is wrong with my edits. They have just been called not constructive and nothing else, and as I said, when I tried to engage them in conversation they deleted it from their talk page. I provided an argument for the edits, but if the arguments go against some rules, I have no idea which rules those are.

I really don't understand how I am single-handedly to blame. 130.208.238.197 (talk) 12:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Well, you have removed content three times and been reverted by two other editors. You have not discussed content and sourcing on the article talk page. Y'all can do so here. @REDMAN 2019 and Govvy:. I don't understand the "blame" remark. I just left you and edit warring notice since you were. I did not block you from editing or semi protect the page. I fully protected the page so that y'all could discuss on the talk page instead of edit warring. Y'all can do so now here. Or there. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:59, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

He left Spurs, and rejoined, that's two different spells at the club. You shouldn't combine them into one spell. That was done a couple of times before on his article. Doing that edit again is disruptive. If you got reverted the first time, that could be a mistake, but he got reverted a second time also and so on. Govvy (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

I gave an explanation in my revert and second Govvy's comment above. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 18:29, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for actually providing an argument, guys. I will re-emphasize that I tried to talk to the user, Govvy, through their talk page, but they were not prepared for a discussion. I will also correct you - I was not reverted by anyone other than Govvy until after I tried to talk to Govvy, before the three-revert rule, and I did not touch the article after it was reverted by a second user. I'm just sad that this discussion had to happen on this talk page, but I will not edit that article again - nor will I continue to edit, if it's okay to be bullied like this. Have a good life, guys. Dalitidlamadur (talk) 20:44, 30 May 2021 (UTC)1

And yes, I have an account. I was on my work laptop when I made the first edit and did not realize it until I had a message on an IP talk page. I do mean that I will not edit again, so this account will be laid to the side. Dalitidlamadur (talk) 20:46, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Jabbi and their hockey dispute

After closing the DRN dispute, and then after making my statement at ArbCom, I checked a little more of the history. I think that Jabbi is acting like a male bovid in a boutique for fine pottery. I see that they have already gotten banned from biographies of living persons, presumably for stubbornly making unsourced statements. They are also on a tear against Lukashenko or whatever his name is in Belarus. That is okay because he is an international villain, but that doesn't justify being irresponsible in attacking him and his associates. I thought that he ought to calm down, and he won't. We shall see whether he breaks anything more. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

A quick note to say "thank you" for your swift and diligent work on the UTRS queue. I see you answering these frequently, and I am sure it takes a lot of patience, tact and time. I appreciate you doing it. Best, Laplorfill (talk) 08:15, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Rename

Hi, Deepfriedokra, how are you? I see your name a lot dealing with UTRS and renaming (and echo the sentiments immediately above this), so I'm a little hesitant to question this action, but I was ... a little surprised. It seems to me that the new username is still not really OK – it contains the company name without specifying that there's an individual behind it (it isn't really a "Mike at widgets.com" name, is it?). Just as an aside, I don't believe we should be giving any space at all, anywhere in the project, to this company or its staff – see for example this completely non-reliable source. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:20, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers: (forgot the "yo")(bloody tremors)I thought that too. And I've declined on that basis. "However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87"." So corpname+number string = 😊. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:46, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers: The scam thing is less clear. My personal preference is no corpname in username at all. I don't know. Gah. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

As their only purpose is self promotion, I doubt they'll be unblocked. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:59, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

GS restoration request

Hi Deepfriedokra, thank you very much for taking action against an edit war at COVID-19 misinformation. As the full protection has expired, I'd like to restore the GS extended-confirmed protection. Is this okay with you? Alternatively, feel free to restore the protection. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:30, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Please do. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:33, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
