Length of a topic
Hello,
For the BAPS article, I removed a section under BAPS charities because the lead paragraph effectively summarizes the topic and has a linked sub article that explains everything in detail and repeats information from the original post. Would you please take a look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bochasanwasi_Shri_Akshar_Purushottam_Swaminarayan_Sanstha&type=revision&diff=714834663&oldid=713651508 edit and let me know if I am doing something wrong? I do not want to put a overly detailed tag on the article right now unless it is needed.

Too large to checkuser?
Saw your comment at ANI regarding that /20 block - you mentioned it's too large to checkuser. What's the largest range that can be checkuser'ed? I'd think if it's too large a range to check, it should probably be too large a range to block as well... SQLQuery me! 21:02, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- You can range-check /16 to /32 on IPv4, and /32 to /128 on IPv6. --jpgordon::==( o ) 21:23, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks for being a trial dummy. First time out the door and there is a serious problem. I'll get it fixed up so it doesn't do that anymore.--v/r - TP 06:02, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Another possible sock
Hello Jpgordon. In a recent unblock decline, you mentioned a checkuser confirmation: here
Are you able to say anything about the following editor, who has been acting as a close colleague of Théophile on the Human rights in Ukraine article, and has a similarly short tenure: User talk:Usr lI

Hamza Tzortzis
Hello, could you please take a look at the Hamza Tzortzis-article? It is edited by at least three WP:SPA's lately. The last acceptable version with third-party sources can be found here. I would suggest some kind of protection, but that is me. Best regards,Jeff5102 (talk) 20:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure what you want me to do here...but the article should be deleted a re-creation of after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamza Andreas Tzortzis. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 02:26, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
On the declining of unblock requests
Hi, Josh. I noticed your appropriate decline of JohnLloydScharf's unblock request. I've seen your wording before, and it reads like a template — it it? A tool? It describes what's wrong with a lot of unblock requests and gives useful advice, so I'd like to be able to use it myself, if there's a convenient way. Bishonen | talk 17:02, 20 July 2016 (UTC).
- @Bishonen: It's the "standard" unblock request. All you do is decline without a reason and the system fills in the canned language.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:10, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Ha. Even simpler than Twinkle! Thanks Beeb. Bishonen | talk 18:48, 20 July 2016 (UTC).
- I had to type decline= {{subst:decline reason here}} to get the default message. With enough patience you will also find this advice given in Template:Unblock request declined. EdJohnston (talk) 20:08, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- It took me a weirdly long time to figure this one out myself -- because I always found it easy enough to edit the decline notice, I never popped open the instructions, and wondered "how are people doing that?" --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 20:15, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
