Actually, I don't think he'll have access to appeal at AN, as talk page is already blocked. He'll probably have to go through UTRS, yes? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@SarekOfVulcan: I re-enabled talk page access when reblocking. If they abuse it again, I won't hesitate to revoke it, and then they would need to appeal through UTRS. —Ingenuity (t • c) 16:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Seems to be sending emails. I’m not sure that’s a good idea. Doug Weller talk 19:12, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@Doug Weller: I revoked their access to send emails when re-blocking them. —Ingenuity (t • c) 19:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Good, I should have looked at the block details. Doug Weller talk 19:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Do you know anything about vitamin supplements?

ZMA (supplement) has two recent edits that I wasn't sure about. I wasn't sure which noticeboard I would need. Knitsey (talk) 21:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I've reverted their edit. If they continue, I'd suggest warnings for adding promotional content, and a report to WP:COIN or WP:AIV if necessary. —Ingenuity (t • c) 01:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Lovely, thank you. Knitsey (talk) 01:24, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Missing editnotice

Hi Ingenuity, regarding Special:Diff/1239801320, article-specific restrictions can't lead to sanctions if there was no editnotice about them on the affected page at the time of the violation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:46, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Whoops, thanks for letting me know. I've created one now. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:51, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Next time I'll message the administrator after creating the editnotice. Sorry and thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Sockpuppet?

A couple of days ago you blocked this User, now this new User has popped up doing much the same thing. Cheers 124.169.24.67 (talk) 10:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

IngenuityBot makes title up

It's a bit old this, but I only just noticed. In this edit the bot claimed the article was called "Former defense lawyer says drug testing should be mandatory for officers in high risk police units" but the title is in fact "Make drug testing mandatory for police in high-risk units, ex-defence lawyer says". DuncanHill (talk) 20:41, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

It looks like the article's title must have been changed after publication, and the bot fetched the old one. It doesn't really matter now, I don't plan on running the bot again any time soon. —Ingenuity (t • c) 22:10, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
