Clarification
I noted that you can contest your ban no sooner than 2022-05-24. As was pointed out to me (thanks, Hobit), ARBCOM set a date that they would not hear further appeals before February 2022. I do not mean to override them (and definitely lack the authority to do so). If ARBCOM is sympathetic to your appeal, they might choose to open up discussions on WP:AN at that time (February rather than May). The date I gave was in regard to the concerns raised about you forum-shopping, but you can see from the discussion that a number of editors expressed they may look sympathetically upon an unblock at that time. If any part of this is at all unclear to you, please ask. I don't mean for there to be any confusion here. --Yamla (talk) 19:20, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yamla, do you mean I am free to appeal to ARBCOM in February 2022? (Maxim? I don't want any confusion in my next appeal!). --Hulged (talk) 07:03, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- I mean to say, my understanding is that ARBCOM would accept an unblock appeal at that time and I did not mean to change that. So, yes, I believe you are. I suggest you might have more luck with any appeal if you wait until May, but I am not trying to prevent you from appealing to ARBCOM in February. --Yamla (talk) 10:48, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hobit and Yamla, thanks! I'll wait for the Maxim's response. If ArbCom would also like me to wait until May, I'll consider that otherwise. --Hulged (talk)
- What I would recommend is to drop the appeals for another six months, which puts us into late May 2022. The nature of the sockpuppetry at the time is such that there is an expectation (perhaps unwritten) that the sockmaster disengage from Wikipedia for a considerable amount of time. You first appealed right after getting blocked, and in these cases it would be almost unheard of for anyone to reverse a valid block so quickly. We asked you to stay away for some time—6 months. I don't understand why it has been so difficult for you to stay away for 6 months at a time. Your emails to us were disingenuous, particularly with regards to the cool-off time between appeals. Demonstrating that you can respect our community norms, which includes actually disengaging from English Wikipedia for some time, would go a long way towards a successful appeal in the future. Maxim(talk) 14:11, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
- Maxim, I'll return in May then. Thanks for the response! --Hulged (talk) 14:22, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Ban appeal
Ratekreel/Archives (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
- Previous November AN appeal: Read here Hello. I was blocked on English Wikipedia for abusing multiple accounts in March 2021 (SPI case). Since then I have been active on other WMF managed wikis such as metawiki kswiki, simplewiki and Wikimedia Commons. I have already disclosed all the accounts here and on my November AN appeal. For clarity's sake, these were User:Wahhid, User:EditorThanos, User:Ulluly, User:Juslit, User:Ollipinno, User:TheHornbill, User:Majaple, User:Malihajan, User:Malliha and User:Dhonka. This is the last edit I have made to English Wikipedia. I appealed the Arbitration Committee in February this year but they told me to appeal in May. In my November appeal, I was told to appeal after 24 May. I requested Yamla to take this appeal to the AN on May 18 but they said no and I also thought that it is best to wait till 24. I have developed a keen interest in editing wikipedia again and have read the policies. I promise that I won't violate any policies and won't hurt wikipedia in any way. I may be seen with IDHT attitude but I have no intention to waste the precious time of the community. I have learned the lesson and I am willing to help in the development of this free online encyclopaedia. If unbanned, I would like to be an active member of Wikiproject India, help in counter vandalism and AFC work. I humbly ask the community to give me another chance. Hulged (talk) 12:08, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Accept reason:
There appears to be community consensus here, and so I am unblocking. I would note that it probably wasn't closed as the supports were all fairly lackluster, but there appears to be consensus to give you another chance. The upshot of this to you is a need to be careful - specifically with being a) better at thinking (and communicating) before acting and b) being much better at responding and improving where someone raised a query or concern with your actions. An additional note to be careful around the additional restrictions in many Indian-related topics. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:26, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Yamla, would you please take my appeal to the AN. Hulged (talk) 12:00, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- No. Today is 2022-05-18. However, you may ping me on the 24th. For the record, I see no evidence of recent block evasion (good!). --Yamla (talk) 20:56, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Alright Yamla, it is 24 now. Hulged (talk) 02:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not Yamla, but I copy-pasted your appeal to WP:AN, where it is located under the thread "Hulged (Wahhid) unban request". Thanks. — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — 17:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- 3PPYB6, thanks. --Hulged (talk) 03:20, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Hulged: Each one with their difficulty, right Magogre. I (YellowFrogger) suffer to be unlocked in Miraheze and you suffer to be unblocked here for doing silly things too. I'm of bia faith and I'm rooting for everyone's success, instead of just agreeing to infinite blocks or blocking in DMs (discord). Good luck. Here it is different and there is no Dmehus, Naliksoh, etc. Pixial (talk) 17:01, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

- Alright Yamla, it is 24 now. Hulged (talk) 02:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yamla, my unban request was archived by the bot (diff). What do I do now? Hulged (talk) 09:52, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'll close, as I didn't participate and can close the AN discussion Nosebagbear (talk) 10:23, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks Nosebagbear, I'll be much careful in future. Hulged (talk) 11:31, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'll close, as I didn't participate and can close the AN discussion Nosebagbear (talk) 10:23, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Re: Cordless Larry
Hi Cordless Larry. Being honest, I thought I might be unblocked per WP:SO#Variations. Hulged (talk) 09:56, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Miss Grand International 2013
Just to let you know that this article, which you moved into draftspace, was recreated immediately in mainspace by the article creator, and the old version left in draftspace. I'll leave it to you to decide what to do with it, but the new article only has one source, and I don't know if it's a reliable one. Richard3120 (talk) 00:44, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Page mover granted
Hello, Ratekreel. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 21:00, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
- Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
- Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.
Technical news
- The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out.

Arbitration
- Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
