Username policy
The random usernames you reported at WP:UAA do not contravene enwiki's username policy. They would be problematic under the Spanish and the Turkish wikis' policies, but not here. Cabayi (talk) 06:52, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Participation at Articles for Deletion
Hey @Samuel R Jenkins, I noticed your participation at WP:AfD recently. It seems that most or all of your comments have consisted of a simple "Keep" or "Delete" with limited other information provided such as "per nominator." Comments like this are generally not given much weight. I also noticed that you have made these comments in rapid succession, commenting on as many as 6 different discussions within a minute and using an automated tool to do so. This suggests to me that you might not be taking the appropriate time to consider the article, discussion, and associated evidence before voting.

Everyone is welcome to participate at AfD, but I recommend taking some time to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies before diving in. AfD is a consensus process, not a vote. It may be easier to begin your time on Wikipedia by contributing in article space, since you'll come into contact with Wikipedia's policies at a more measured pace than firehose that project space can be. If you do continue to participate at AfD, I'd ask you to read over WP:BEFORE to get a sense of what should be going into an AfD discussion. While this is advice for nominators, the policies, source checks, and considerations on deletion alternatives described there are extremely useful to have familiarity with. Thanks, and welcome to Wikipedia! Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 17:12, 30 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I second what @Dylnuge said. Not only, but especially when there are already lengthy discussions you should give some indication of why you vote a certain way. There certainly are closing discussions that are so obvious that not much needs to be said, but you do risk getting ignored (and occasionally attacked) if you make this a general habit. That certainly doesn't mean you should not take part in deletion discussions, just that you should be a bit more open about your reasons for voting one way or another. Welcome and don't let people WP:BITE you away. -- Random person no 362478479 (talk) 19:36, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I've set up an ANI for this Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents. LibStar (talk) 23:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, -- Random person no 362478479. This is clearly a witch hunt to keep the participation in AFDs between a few people. As was stated in the discussion on your talk page, it appears that the administrators are basing the person's edit count as a gauge of experience. As we all know, most of them use automated tools to rapidly edit and inflate their edit counts. The same thing they accuse me of doing. Samuel R Jenkins (talk) 23:47, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. LibStar (talk) 23:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm aware of the concerns. It seems the accusers here want to cherry-pick the simplest !votes and ignore the ones where there was an description of the vote like:

Alas, if the community wants the backlog to continue to grow, so be it and I won't be on that part of the project anymore. It's up to the community. Samuel R Jenkins (talk) 00:06, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

 * There's a pretty obvious tell here (besides engaging in the same sort of rapid-fire editing that got User:BigDwiki blocked originally); happy to share it via email with reviewing admins if needed. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:22, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Share it here, or share it with me by email. Samuel R Jenkins (talk) 00:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You're not a reviewing admin, and since I am dead certain that you are the blocked editor in question, I'm not telling you how to evade next time. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:25, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Then you have nothing but accusations. If you have a case, bring it. If not, unblock. Obviously you are a checkuser, so if you have evidence that tool gives you, post it here. Samuel R Jenkins (talk) 00:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
