Yamla, you certainly deserve a compliment from me for revoking the TPA of User:UltimateMikeSawyers. I was wondering when this would happen, and you finally stepped in. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Transphobes
I blocked BloodSkullzRock as NOTHERE and POV editing after deleting their userpage as a WP:G10. BSR has made an unblock request. Could you please check Ghanimah, the creator (today) of Party of Women? They may just be two transphobes/members of the party (some apparently think so), but I think there's enough evidence to warrant a check. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Unrelated. They are geographically close, but the CU data doesn't even point to Unlikely in this case. Based on gut instinct and not on CU data, I suspect two people from the same off-wiki forum somewhere. --Yamla (talk) 17:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Banff
Banff is beautiful! In case I forget before June 21, have a great time!--Bbb23 (talk) 17:31, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'm very lucky that both Banff and Jasper are within plausible driving distance. I'm looking forward to the trip! --Yamla (talk) 17:35, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Nooo... the farthest west I've ever gone is OKC. I really wanna go to the western portion of Canada. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 17:38, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend travelling on the Icefields Parkway. Some unbelievable views! Just watch out for snow, even in the summer! --Yamla (talk) 17:42, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- As a North Carolinian, avalanches are something that occur like probably half of the time in a blue moon. Also, a couple of weeks ago, I went to Madikeri for a vacation, and the views of the Western Ghats are absolutely amazing. But holy shit, the roads are so slippery that there's a massive chance of falling. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:13, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
