A message from Alexis Jazz
I personally hadn't moved File:Grizzlys Catalans logo (face).png because c:File:Grizzlys Catalans logo.png is certain to get deleted once c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Grizzlys Catalans logo.png gets handled. (frankly in this particular case ShakespeareFan00 could have just tagged it copyvio, it's another one of those damn crosswiki uploads) I just wanted to make you aware that that deletion request now doesn't make sense anymore because the link to the non-free image just shows the Commons image on Wikipedia after the move. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 15:37, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
- Got it. thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 20:59, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
- To be clear it wasn't wrong to move it, but (as the deletion is unlikely to be disputed) probably not entirely necessary. Files that shadow another file prevent us from using the Commons file that is being shadowed, in this case the shadowed file is a copyvio which we shouldn't use anyway. My only real concern is that the deletion request could get confused or even rejected because the rationale now just links to the nominated image instead of the non-free image on WP. But that's Commons' problem I suppose. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:09, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/2409:4073:209:81B1:4584:2287:8913:426C deleted
Hi FlightTime, I deleted Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/2409:4073:209:81B1:4584:2287:8913:426C. Dynamic IPs being dynamic IPs isn't abusive. New accounts editing with dynamic IPs in that region of the world and forgetting to log in isn't abusive. Multiple people from the same country where English isn't the primary native language posting similar requests about a popular sports figure isn't abusive. We also don't have SPIs named after dynamic IPs. Basically, the page didn't meet any of the criteria for filing an SPI, so I went ahead and deleted it which is what I normally do for SPIs like this where the abuse alleged is a bunch of dynamic IPs and a new account or two. If GeneralNotability disagrees, he's free to undelete. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:40, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Marching Out
Greetings. I was juuuust wondering, without going so far as to open an SPI or even attracting attention, that there might be a certain someone who's actively socking based on previous edit-warring sprees and very poor conduct within the past few weeks. It all looks quacky to me in terms of editing style, but filing an SPI myself might open me up to more diatribes and targeted articles, considering my previous interactions with them which were rather unpleasant; hence why I'm being cryptic.

Hello
Thank you for the introduction to Wikipedia. I actually just wanted an account so I could star things that interest me. I have to admit that I am in way over my head, just trying to figure out how to upload a photo of myself. Do I need to have a personal wiki page for myself? I guess I need to read up on all of this. Anyway, thank you for your introduction to account creation. SherParker (talk) 18:46, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
