Declining unblock
Re Special:Diff/1132800652: also, it's obviously a lie. (Just saying. I don't mean that would have been a good unblock rationale.) Bishonen | tålk 17:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC).
- Hi Bishonen, I do not believe him/her, but even if I did, I still would not unblock. Best, PhilKnight (talk) 18:03, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
TPA
I would jsut revoke the TPA of 2600:100c:b235:97b6:e908:adbe:ca90:d9de since they aren't gonna use their talk page like they should. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- I will wait for them to abuse the talk page before revoking access. PhilKnight (talk) 16:18, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Remove TPA
Mind removing the TPA Of 70.73.175.85? They've made it clear that they aren't gonna use it constructively. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:59, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- Done. PhilKnight (talk) 09:20, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

- Following an RfC, the administrator policy now requires that prior written consent be gained from the Arbitration Committee to mark a block as only appealable to the committee.
- Following a community discussion, consensus has been found to impose the extended-confirmed restriction over the topic areas of Armenia and Azerbaijan and Kurds and Kurdistan.
- The Vector 2022 skin has become the default for desktop users of the English Wikipedia.
- The arbitration case Armenia-Azerbaijan 3 has been opened and the proposed decision is expected 24 February 2023.
- In December, the contentious topics procedure was adopted which replaces the former discretionary sanctions system. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial implementation period. There is a detailed summary of the changes and administrator instructions for the new procedure. The arbitration clerk team are taking suggestions, concerns, and unresolved questions about this new system at their noticeboard.
- Voting in the 2023 Steward elections will begin on 05 February 2023, 21:00 (UTC) and end on 26 February 2023, 21:00 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
- Voting in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey will begin on 10 February 2023 and end on 24 February 2023. You can submit, discuss and revise proposals until 6 February 2023.
- Tech tip: Syntax highlighting is available in both the 2011 and 2017 Wikitext editors. It can help make editing paragraphs with many references or complicated templates easier.

Litawardupdate
I don't think this is an acceptable name either. "Literature Award Update". When the user's previous name was 2023nbcc and editing articles about nbcc literature award finalists? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:12, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- I did not realise that. I have reblocked. I will leave a note explaining. PhilKnight (talk) 12:16, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. I left a note at WP:Username policy for clarification. It took me a moment to mentally parse.... I started with "Lita" then realized I was on a garden path... - UtherSRG (talk) 12:24, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Revdel reversed
Hi, did you remove the revdel on this edit? Because, it has become visible again. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:36, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Iskandar, yes, on reflection it is not a serious BLP violation, as it is a common allegation made against him. He denies it, of course, and in Wikipedia's voice it should be an allegation, not a fact. But while it is a BLP violation, I do not think it rises to the level of a serious BLP violation which gets revision deleted. PhilKnight (talk) 15:43, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi. Can you revoke this user's TPA? Thanks. SunilNevlaFan✨ 19:09, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Done. PhilKnight (talk) 19:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. By the way, I'd like to also thank you for what you do at the Oversight Team. SunilNevlaFan✨ 19:15, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- No problem. Happy to help. PhilKnight (talk) 19:17, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

They have at least two other accounts, BristolEnthusiast1940 and BristolGoer92. Might be wise to block those two too. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 20:58, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- They are already blocked. PhilKnight (talk) 20:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- I noticed that you did the deed right as I hit send. Great minds think alike. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 21:01, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
