- @M7: one of yours. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Mayfair Rose, I've deleted your latest edit on this wiki. I found it non-costructive and quite "uncivil". Can you explain the benefit for this meta.wiki or at least the ratio of creating a talk page related to a 2021 event and writing "Hi fuckers" (ref, for other admins https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&target=Talk%3AIndic+Wikisource+Proofreadthon+August+2021%2Fmrh×tamp=20230707114159 )? Thank you in advance for your kind answer. --M/ (talk) 05:44, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- I definitely agree that there was no benefit to that page ever being created here. As for why I made it, I figured it wouldn't do much harm or even be noticed. But I definitely will not do anything like that here any more. And I'd like to be unblocked so I can ask any questions about Wikimedia that I may have, and also so I can change my name. I hope this helps. 12.195.22.98 13:59, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
