Saarabout
Hi there. I've just seen that you've declined Saarabout's unblock request. Upon reviewing the evidence further, they do seem to have a case that they weren't engaging in vandalism. The content they added does indeed seem to have been copy-pasted from the source website. That's likely a copyright violation and their attitude seems unserious, but I'm tempted to give them another chance. What do you think? Cordless Larry (talk) 20:36, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have no objections, but I don't think they'd be a constructive editor. A lot of the information they were posting was outright incorrect. Smallest quark, cesium atom being the largest atom, etc. Possibly their best chance of success would be to suggest edits rather than edit any article directly. I want to be clear, though, that's not me trying to impose a requirement. I have no objections at all if you (the blocking admin) decide to lift the block with no restrictions at all. --Yamla (talk) 20:43, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll lift the block and keep an eye on their edits and will act if they don't prove to be constructive. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:46, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Speaking up
Hi Yamla, apologies for bothering you again. I want to ask you to take a review at the unblock of my account on Wikimedia Commons, I was blocked by Taivo for 1 month again due to copyright reasons. I have explained everything in my Commons user talk page at the very last bottom when you scroll down to the unblock review. Please review it and unblock me. Because I have pledged to not further upload copyright violations. Here's the link to this. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:KhantWiki#/editor/41 KhantWiki (talk) 14:58, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- I can not do so. I have no admin rights on Wikimedia commons. --Yamla (talk) 15:15, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information. No problem. KhantWiki (talk) 18:30, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
Appealing Topic Ban on Article Creation
Hi Yamla, last year I was unbanned from Wikipedia after 4 years away and I was given the condition of an indefinite ban on article creation that was appealable after no less than six months of constructive edits. I believe that since I have returned I have made constructive edits throughout the MMA community and was hoping I could lift my ban on article creation as I believe I would be a valued asset to Wikipedia. I promise to ensure that the Fighters articles that I make meet the required notability for MMA here at Wikipedia. When you unbanned me, I was told to come appeal to you directly on your talk page if I wanted to lift my topic ban on article creation. And I believe I'm ready now. Many thanks, Ricky.

- I will reply on your talk page. --Yamla (talk) 11:42, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Ban appeal
Is there any way to remove the ban tag on 23prootie. Based on the ANI discussion on Theparties, the ban may be lifted? I just want it removed because I might be blocked again as a sockpuppet of 23prootie. Theparties is my main account now but it is still tagged as a sockpuppet. Is there any way to make the unban official? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theparties (talk • contribs)
- Your ban has been lifted. I'll go remove it from that page. --Yamla (talk) 20:54, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Sockpuppetry
Please see this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dreamy_Jazz#User:Dwinug), and act accordingly should you see fit.

Woy Woy railway station
I see you semi-protected Woy Woy railway station for block evasion. Now it seems possible that evasion has extended to the talk page. Looking at the flurry of activity on Talk:Woy Woy railway station since 8 November 2024 you can see a new user and three unique IP addresses all making edit requests. A one-off would be ok, but four edit requests looks like a taunt from one user. I am hesitant to semi-protect the talk page as it would shut down the only method new users have to make suggestions. On the other hand, semi-protection may be appropriate. Hence I am asking you for a second opinion. Commander Keane (talk) 01:23, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
