Far from reviewing this page, I was contemplating speedying it myself; I was only delayed by nominating the author cat for deletion. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity....TheLongTone (talk) 16:57, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

???
I started this thread here because the user I was going to ask about already left a talk page message on yours. Do you know the user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jetstreamers_Best_friend or is it someone trying to be funny? Thanks! Kb03 (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Dealing with socks
Hi Kb03, thank you for your work cleaning up after Winterysteppe. If a CheckUser, clerk, or admin does not blank or tag a userpage, there is normally a reason. I left it in its state without tags this time for a few reasons, and blanking wasn’t necessary. SPI also isn’t bloodsport, and drawing attention to G5 tags at ANI somewhat defeats the point of DENY and G5 itself, which was the point of your blanking. Anyway, I just wanted to give you a few tips in the area. Thanks again for your help. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:49, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, at first I thought that the account had made one article (which I saw in the new pages feed) but once I blanked the user and talk pages I checked the page creation logs and saw the 250-something pages the account had created. I was talking about it with some more experienced editors via IRC and they suggested special:nuke, so I brought it to AN/I. I'll keep what you said in mind for the future, sorry again!

 * No worries. It was just a heads up :) TonyBallioni (talk) 19:08, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Less good news, and an appeal for some help

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.

Sorry to hear about all the times LakesideMiners has mistaken you for a girl. I can imagine how you feel. GOLDIEM J (talk) 08:43, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * :) I'm a guy and have always been one since birth. Lakeside seems to forget that no matter how many times I remind him. He always remembers about 2 seconds after he sends it on IRC though. Kb03 (talk) 06:16, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Even the trouts don't work? He's got a problem, hasn't he? GOLDIEM J (talk) 07:42, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Threats on your talk page
Hi. I was looking through some edit filters, and I saw someone attempted to leave several threats on your talk page (1, 2, 3). I've already blocked the vandal who did this. The threats seem laughable, but I've alerted WP:EMERGENCY just to be on the safe side. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:11, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I had a sysop send me the threats, I don't know which illiterate person I made mad over the past month or so :). Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'm not worried. Kb03 (talk) 21:54, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
