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!
[edit]History
[edit]I 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.

[edit]- Boom Raveewit Jirapongkanon (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Username represents a well-known person. Paul_012 (talk) 10:47, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Not a violation of the username policy. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Stage names are also acceptable. Paul 012, is there anything in their edits that leads you to believe that they are not the person in question? Cullen328 (talk) 20:24, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- It is a very common pattern with fans trying to write Wikipedia articles about their favourite actors to use some variant of the actor's name, or sometimes the name itself, as their username. See this report for example. Also, this name format (nick name + given name + surname) is not how one would refer to oneself, though it is commonly used by the entertainment media when referring to actors. The contribution pattern is entirely consistent with this being a fan account. (Also, FYI, a ping won't work if you add it into an existing signed comment in a separate edit.) --Paul_012 (talk) 14:17, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

- @Easternsahara, all these accounts appear to be stale and have not been used in the last 2-3 weeks. I'm not an admin but I just thought I'd just give you a heads up that we don't need to report accounts that haven't been used in the last 2-3 weeks. --- TLJ7863 (talk) 21:06, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
