Welcome! Please read this before posting here. If I left you a message on your user talk page or elsewhere, please respond there. If you leave me a message here, this is where I will normally respond. If you want to alert me to your message, you may ping me. (It is not necessary to ping me when leaving messages on my talk page as I am automatically alerted by email.) If you have a problem or need help with something please leave a message. However, if your issue does not involve me personally, or is time sensitive/urgent, you may wish to request help on one of our noticeboards. If you are here because you think I made a mistake somewhere, YOU COULD BE RIGHT! I am neither omniscient nor infallible. Let's talk about it. Please be polite and remember to assume good faith. Also check the potty language at the door. I don't talk to other people that way and I expect the same courtesy in return. While minor editing is fine, for the sake of continuity of records please don't delete comments on my talk page even if you later conclude you were wrong. If you want to retract a comment, just add a note or you can strike out the text. Private emails are welcome. However, in the interest of transparency; requests for administrator actions should generally be made openly either here or on the relevant noticeboard/talk page discussion. Exceptions where commonsense or policy/guidelines may require discretion, are understood. Special note to admins: If you think I muffed something feel free to revert or otherwise fix it. Just kindly leave a note. Experienced editors are free to respond to any queries on this page, especially if the message has been sitting for a while without a response. Lastly, I'm a part-timer, so bear with me if I don't get back to you instantly. If you have questions comments or concerns feel free to drop me a line below.

To whom it may concern,

Daniel Dunga who posted the disruptive edits of History of vehicle registration plates of the Philippines who already removed the verification of LTO license plates series. Here's the following LTO license plates has officially verified in NCR and Region III:

CBO 1001-CBO 9999 (Region III)

NHP 1001-NHP 9999 (NCR)

NKJ 1001-NKJ 9999 (NCR)

Daniel did not receive the inbox messages but hopefully to permanent block Daniel Dunga who suspected the article due to incomplete and repetitive of removal edits to verified the LTO license plates as soon as possible.

Thank you.

@Jon2guevarra

I see no reasons for administrator intervention at this time. This appears to be a content dispute. If you disagree with this user's recent contributions, you are free to revert their edits and leave a message on the article talk page explaining why, per WP:BRD. Just be sure to stay within the confines of WP:3RR. See also WP:DR for further suggestions on how to handle disagreements with other editors.

Hi there! The trial of the RfA discussion-only period passed at WP:RFA2024 has concluded, and after open discussion, the RfC is now considering whether to retain, modify, or discontinue it. You are invited to participate at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Discussion-only period. Cheers, and happy editing!

Hi, not sure if I'm allowed to step in and edit sock templates and categories directly, as a non-admin, but the master account for Rustylad31 is Bigboss19923. Rustylad21 was just the most recent sock, I namechecked it at AIV to emphasise the obviousness.

Thanks for applying the block!

@Belbury Thanks. I will amend the template. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241005183000","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20241005183000-Belbury-20241005182800","replies":[]}}-->

Hi, I see you are in the path of Milton, and I just want to wish Good Fortunes to you and your loved ones. I have a lot of friends and family on that coast and am following the storm closely… stay safe!

Hi there, in case you are still around and have time (do prioritise packing your bags, though; this can wait), I don't think that what you've done re User:Triangleprecinct is right. I blocked that user for a user name violation. The template clearly says that such a user has two options:

• "create a new account with a different username", or
• "If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page"

Hence, if such a user chooses the first option, their new account isn't a sockpuppet.

@Schwede66 Ok I will unblock them. Thanks for the heads up. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241009002200","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20241009002200-Schwede66-20241008230200","replies":[]}}-->

Hello. Ive noticed today that ive been IP Banned for my edits. I found out when my older brother was trying to make an account. I apologise if I sound desperate, but I will never touch any page on Wikipedia and never let myself add information without any proof. I hope I can convince you that this will never happen again. Thank you,

@Tomos.wh Your account is not currently blocked. As I do not know what IP you are using (please don't post that here) I can't comment on the specifics. However, it is possible that it may be caught in a range block due to widespread disruption across a number of IPs. If someone in your household is trying to create an account and unable to do so, tell them to read and follow the directions here.
