If you're unhappy with some admin-ish thing I've done...
edit...I'd recommend you drop me a line on my talk page.
Actually, I'd recommend you take a deep breath, make sure I actually did screw up (entirely possible), then drop me a line.
Please, do not email me about admin stuff; I try to keep everything on-wiki if at all possible. If I've blocked you, there's always {{unblock}}; I also keep all blocked user talk pages on my watchlist, and will check back on them a few hours after I've left my notice.
Also, I am open to administrator recall. To see my criteria for recall, read User:EVula/opining/admin recall.
My admin info!
editHistory
editI was made an administrator on November 7, 2006. My RfA closed with a vote of 62/0/0. Near as I can tell, I'm admin #1,047.
My first RfB was closed as non-consensus on July 1, 2007; the second was also closed as non-consensus on 24 December, 2007. My third RfB passed (122/1/2) on 3 June, 2008.
I was granted Oversight privs after my election on February 16, 2009.

Do not leave a username warning on a user's talk page and also immediately report them here. Do one or the other, and not both simultaneously.

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Deleted edits are a cut and paste from an academic study and don't relate to this username. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:59, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Aydoh8 A "promotional username" usually means a username that is that of a cause or business, like "OfficialWalmartAccount" or just "Walmart" or "KamalaforPresident2024". The account also(unless blatantly obvious) should have made edits related to whatever it is they are promoting. 331dot (talk) 08:23, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
