More socks of Yukitanooki

Confirmed on enwiki. Please block the listed socks above indefinitely. Thanks! theinstantmatrix (talk) 11:16, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Info A global lock request has been issued at meta:Steward_requests/Global#Global_lock_for_Yukitanooki_and_socks. 0x0a (talk) 13:02, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@0x0a, @Theinstantmatrix: ✓ Done Kadı Message 17:38, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I think I found another recently created sock of Yukitanooki:
Similar edits of West Philippines Sea. Also, username appears to be an insult to enwiki admin Izno (who previously blocked the other socks). Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 16:23, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotect Request File:Flag of Turkmenistan.svg

I'm unclear as to why this was protected in the first place and though it says it is upload protected it has been indefinitely fully protected. The file needs some code reduction. I'm happy to do so but currently cannot. SVG flag maker (talk) 12:06, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Log says because of edit warring, and upload history seems to bear that out. Abzeronow (talk) 17:44, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotect Request File:Flag of Turkmenistan.svg

I'm unclear as to why this was protected in the first place and though it says it is upload protected it has been indefinitely fully protected. The file needs some code reduction. I'm happy to do so but currently cannot. SVG flag maker (talk) 09:24, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. I reduced protection. Taivo (talk) 12:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The user is not autopatrolled and the upload protection is autopatroller, should I temporarily lower protection so I can also accept their request to overwrite? Abzeronow (talk) 20:44, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so, but if somebody else will do that, I will not protest. Taivo (talk) 13:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Flag of Turkmenistan.svg

I'm unclear as to why this was protected in the first place and though it says it is semi protected it has been indefinitely fully protected. The file needs some code reduction. I'm happy to do so but currently cannot. SVG flag maker (talk) 05:28, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's protected from upload for users who are not autopatrollers. It's not fully protected. Bedivere (talk) 05:40, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As noted above (SVG flag maker always opens a new topic rather than replying), the user is not autopatrolled. Abzeronow (talk) 19:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And is not likely to be given autopatrol, if they cannot learn to reply in the section where a discussion is already started. I'll move this up to where it belongs. - Jmabel ! talk 03:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protect File:YouTube Logo 2017.svg

✓ Done for six months. Abzeronow (talk) 21:33, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Djeidudj

I have blocked Djeidudj for 6 months for continually making deletion requests that just amount to "this offends me," and in at least one case repeating the same DR on a slightly different "this offends me" rationale immediately after it was kept. I don't do a ton of blocking, and if anyone thinks this is too long or too short, feel free to weigh in. - Jmabel ! talk 05:50, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
