Unanswered unblock request
There’s an unblock request here that hasn’t been answered in two weeks. I won’t cast judgement on its validity but I think the user has a right to know whether they’ll be unblocked. Dronebogus (talk) 08:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * After a fair bit of thought, I declined the request. Johnuniq (talk) 09:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Continued edit warring during open discussion
Even though one person was already blocked for edit-warring on this, two others continue: Richard D'Oyly Carte. Can you please return it to the status quo ante? -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:48, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * There is an edit request there now that, I think, resolves the issue? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I saw that but did nothing because I think there should be a bit more time to see if anyone else has an opinion. I'll look again a little later. Johnuniq (talk) 02:39, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

user:Smefs again
The user is now baselessly accusing me of being a sock of some user they have a grudge against. This is sufficient evidence to demonstrate they are uninterested in actually getting unblocked. I think revoking their talk page rights is in order. Dronebogus (talk) 16:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The user is now unable to comment further at their talk so there is nothing further to do. However, for the future, please do not repeatedly comment at a blocked users talk unless invited. Very few people think they deserve to be blocked and it is expected that they will vent a bit. I know you were trying to help but it plainly was not doing any good. It's best to leave them alone and comment only if they ask for something specific and it appears that a reply might achieve something useful. Johnuniq (talk) 01:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Tupac Page
The Tupac page can now be edited by everyone; it wasn't like that before. Previously, only administrators and users with permission could edit it. This rule needs to be reinstated, or it will be edited every day Pier1999 (talk) 14:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * This refers to Tupac Shakur where I don't think I have ever been involved. The above has been posted in a number of places and the article is now fully protected to prevent an edit war. Johnuniq (talk) 02:37, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Diminishment icosahedron
Hi. Excuse me, can you help me to delete the redirect article Diminishment icosahedron? It seems it is already has the name Diminished icosahedron. I really messed up. Many thanks. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 13:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't worry about it. The word "diminishment" appears in the article (Gyroelongated pentagonal pyramid) and the redirect Diminishment icosahedron is not a problem. I would delete it if it was misleading or something bad but the people at WP:RFD accept just about anything for redirects and this is a long way off that. Johnuniq (talk) 01:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Rapid-fire disruptive editor
Please look at User:BittersweetParadox's edit history. They make numerous rapid edits to add wikilinks to words like baseball and make other mischievous edits, such as the edit on July 16th to Lingua franca. They have been warned many, many times. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I have warned and will watch. Johnuniq (talk) 02:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
