DYK for Mike Enoch
On 10 June 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mike Enoch, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that white nationalist Mike Enoch helped Richard Spencer successfully sue Auburn University after it attempted to cancel their speaking engagement? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mike Enoch. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Mike Enoch), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Oversight #26
By my rough count, I've just sent my 26th request to Oversight, requesting revert/delete treatment of harassment. It would be the the project’s benefit, and the victims’, if I were permitted to remove these from general visibility pending deletion. Don’t you agree?MarkBernstein (talk) 23:08, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
- As I am not an Oversighter, I have no way of assessing a statement like that. I have no way of knowing how quickly Oversighters acted, if you were the first to make such a request about any particular diff, or if they acted upon any of your requests at all. The usual avenues of appeal are, of course, as open to you today as they were yesterday. The WordsmithTalk to me 00:20, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
Remove Pending changes Protection
Hello, Could you please remove pending changes protection from Hello Internet as the article has been granted indefinite page protection. I am contacting you as Coffee, who added PCP, is away from Wikipedia and has asked users to contact you in their absence. Thanks, Greg (talk) 08:34, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

MarkBernstein topic ban?
Is this MarkBernstein GamerGate topic ban still in force? If true, are not these edits about Zoe Quinn a violation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:8:11:0:0:0:B1 (talk) 03:11, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
BLP vios by an anon IP
Hi, The Wordsmith. User:Coffee recommended you be contacted in Coffee's absence. Coffee on Dec. 10 blocked anon IP 62.28.64.102, who was edit-warring to add WP:BLP vios to Tracy Griffith and Peter Griffith. As soon as the 31-hour block was lifted, the anon IP went right back to BLP vios at those articles, here and here. I thought Coffee, or you by proxy, ought to be notified of that recidivism and defiance. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:12, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- I've blocked them again, for a week this time. However, it appears that Coffee has returned, so future inquiries should be directed to him. The WordsmithTalk to me 20:26, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
An incredibly diligent administrator

- Anytime, friend. Great to have you back. The WordsmithTalk to me 01:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
