Welcome to my talk page! If you are adding a new comment section, please post your new topic at the bottom of this page. If your comment is about an article, please consider adding the comment to the article's talk page, instead of adding it here. Wikipedia is a community effort, and other editors might have valuable opinions. You could add a comment here to let me know about your comment on the article's talk page. If I think your comment is about an article I may move it there and leave a note here saying I did so. I absolutely hate conversations that thread across multiple pages. If you add a comment here, I will reply here. If I left a comment on your talk page and you reply here, I will move your reply back to your talk page.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Revdelete my talk page please? Il buon ladrone (talk) 22:05, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Il buon ladrone: gladly. Sorry you're dealing with that, feel free to ask if we can do anything else to help. Ivanvector (/_Edits) 22:09, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you revdelete the racial snarks by sock user from my talk page history. I can't take the unnecessary abuse as I am facing mental issues. They are added by this account (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/key/Special:Contributions/117.228.176.138 ). Regards Io5678 (talk) 22:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Io5678 has posted this request on several user's talk pages. I didn't see anything offensive in the IP edits to their talk page but then I don't speak Hindi. In their ANI complaint and in their edit summaries on the article Uddhav Thackeray, this new editor is trying very hard to get this IP editor blocked for sockpuppetry but I don't see any evidence of misconduct.

the only hindi word 'andhbhakt' is translated as blind follower of party or ideology. It's not racial or offensive. 117.233.73.20 (talk) 16:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		Please take this my barnstar as my appreciation to you for seeking my request in my talk page that i thought it will look forever or maybe centuries to unblock me. Thanks! Royiswariii Talk! 02:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Mistreated and Inhumanity blocking to Royiswariii and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks, Royiswariii Talk! 05:50, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The case request has been declined as premature because other dispute resolution steps would need to be used first before requesting arbitration. SilverLocust 💬 10:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@142.189.54.128: the proper code for this is {{subst:ani-notice|thread=Disruptive Editing of Current Events by Ivanvector}}, which will produce the correct links. No matter, I found it. Ivanvector (/_Edits) 18:25, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand you as an admin of Wikipedia may enjoy an untested power that basically erodes 300 years of human progress, your fellow admin decided to grant your biased edit and lock others out and the ANI thread is hopeless because its run by your fellow admins, but Wikipedia needs a systematic unbiased method to ensure fairness unfortunately there really isn’t one now. 2605:8D80:6E2:BFF1:E125:29E9:D1F0:7AE7 (talk) 20:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no more authority to edit here than you do, friend. Just like anyone else, you can discuss the changes you want to make on the talk page, or point out what you think it is that's wrong with my or anyone else's edit. You can also see the options at dispute resolution, or if you think I'm abusing my rights as an administrator you can ask the arbitration committee to review or start a recall petition. Do hold off on the personal attacks, though: that is a fast way to a block, as the anonymous editor above you found out. Cheers. Ivanvector (/_Edits) 20:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I think it's worth pointing out that I objected to that page being protected. Ivanvector (/_Edits) 20:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Unban_request_for_Wikiuser1314. Thank you. Yamla (talk) 21:10, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Hello, Ivanvector! It's been almost a week since you help me to unblock, I'm asking if it will affect my account on requesting user rights like requesting rollback, new page reviewer or other rights here in wikipedia? Thank you very much. Royiswariii Talk! 10:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
