Missing it.

Oh my goodness! You've preserved the goddess though, thanks. - Walter Ego 08:16, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Roxy. Bishonen | tålk 08:21, 21 January 2026 (UTC).[reply]

(edit conflict) And you can't look at revdel'd stuff, right? I remember that was very annoying, the time I handed in my tools. Maybe what you really want is semi-desysopped status? Bishonen | tålk 08:21, 21 January 2026 (UTC).[reply]

What's that? You'll always be a Goddess to me. Blessed be. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:17, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A somewhat alarming comment on a friend's TP

See [1]. Apparently, the Human Diversity Foundation is offering a bounty for information that could be used to dox a Wikimedia Commons editor. Not sure what, exactly, I'm asking you to do here, but I thought making an admin aware of this would be a good idea. And I know you have a bunch of fellow admins as stalkers here. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:01, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) alarming indeed. i put it in at ANI -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 16:21, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, peeps. Looks like it's been dealt with. Bishonen | tålk 19:55, 23 January 2026 (UTC).[reply]

That "foundation" sure has an Orwell-esque name. The Unz Review is neck-deep in that too. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:21, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Unz Review is definitely a neo-nazi rag, but it legit sounds like a sophomoric fanzine for house music edited by a 17-year-old. Unz tiss unz tiss unz tiss unz tiss. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 16:41, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Losing it

While reviewing your wonderful list of images, for a split-second I truly expected this entry to be a picture of this guy. Perhaps I should crawl back into your pocket for a wee nap. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 14:44, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome in homey Bishzilla pocket, little JoJo Anthrax! Catflap open! bishzilla _ROARR!! pocket 20:11, 26 January 2026 (UTC).[reply]

Is it just me, or does he (Bat Boy, not JoJo) look a little like Rudy Giuliani? --Tryptofish (talk) 21:34, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Legend has it that Bat Boy is actually Giulliani's illegitimate child, and the secret heir to the throne of New York.

What the what?!

Does this from an editor with one other edit need reverting? Kinda looks like gravedancing; kinda looks not here. Thanks. Best. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:48, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

(watching) I reverted the other comment. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, you reverted what, Gerda? The edit DeepFried links to hasn't been reverted. I suggest you do it, Deep, and I'll ask them why they're posting anything on the page of a blocked user who last edited 9 months ago. Bishonen | tålk 20:07, 28 January 2026 (UTC).[reply]

I thought I was so clear: I reverted the other comment ("one other edit"). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:30, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

ps: you archive so fast, or I post too rarely, no January pic anymore ... - on vacation, so I missed going around yesterday when the main page was graced with a Bach cantata (300 years), Mozart (270 years, family pictured) and Verdi mentioned (125 years). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)I reverted the comment. it's really WP:DEADHORSE. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 20:33, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have a suspicion it's a sock based on the edit to the talk page and to Talk:Christian conditionalism, but i don't think there's enough for an Investigation yet, and it could be entirely coincidental -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 20:57, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

user has been trying to use the talk pages to get around the article block you placed on them. reported at ANI -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 18:11, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Aunva6. Now they've edited their talkpage, but not in a meaningful/responsive way. Blocked as NOTHERE. Bishonen | tålk 18:22, 3 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

Persistent violation of WP:ECRCASTE

Hi Bishonen, hope you are doing great! A user Antor2004 is persistently violating WP:ECRCASTE in spite of being informed and warned! Would request you to have a look at the revision history of the article on Suvarna Banik and User talk:Antor2004. Best Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 14:49, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

They clearly have difficulty taking our rules on board, Ekdalian. Telling you in an edit summary that "you are not Banik" unfortunately seems to speak volumes about their attitude.🙁 I've tried again to explain the rules (not that there was anything wrong with your own explanation) and given them a final warning. Bishonen | tålk 15:18, 4 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

You have covered all the points including their attitude and I completely agree with you, Bishonen. Thank you so much for your prompt action! Best Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 17:21, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You'll be blocked next time

Meh, I'd've blocked already. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:23, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you've become a much tougher admin since you stopped being one, Fritter! Bishonen | tålk 14:02, 7 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

Epstein closer to home

If you haven't seen Relationship of Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway, and Jeffrey Epstein, it's kinda interesting, for a certain value of "interesting". Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:06, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

At least the Norwegian royal family isn't as dull as the Swedish. Remember the Shaman? Bishonen | tålk 21:17, 8 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

That I missed. Didn't one of our King's sisters talk to angels and sell magical magnetic bracelets years ago, 80:s-90:s or so? But as royal families go, ours is pretty well behaved. Also, generally well liked. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:34, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

One of the Hagasessorna? Not to my knowledge. But Märtha Louise of Norway is .. er, well, being a self-described clairvoyant and talking to angels seems to be the least of it. Never mind, let's not talk about those people any more. Bishonen | tålk 22:58, 8 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

February music

Today some 1510 carving from St. Valentin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today something new: a 100th birthday of someone alive, György Kurtág! In 2004 I was there when he and his wife played for the Rheingau Musik Festival where he was the featured composer. They played as the 2019 DYK said, on an upright piano, - listen, the last piece was the same. - More pics uploaded, enjoy. And Rosiestep shows the latest cat! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to access regular username: Melroross

@(Bishonen|talk), there is an issue with my Melroross profile. I forgot my password and sent a re-set request to my Gmail address for this username - no password ever arrived. However, today my duplicate username 'Melrorross' which you deactivated at my request in 2024 (it was created by a typo mistake leading to an unintended duplicate profile), did allow a password change request from Wikipedia to the same Gmail address. The issue now being, that the two different usernames now appear to be blocked. I need a password re-set for Melroross which I have been using for 11 years.Can you please investigate and advise? Many thanks TempMelroross (talk) 02:29, 18 February 2026 (UTC) TempMelroross (talk) 02:47, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Hello Melroross. What about Wikipedia:FAQ/Technical#How do I recover a password I have forgotten?. Or have you tried that already? The account User:Melroross is still in good standing and is not blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 04:43, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, Ed. And the other name, Melrorross, is both blocked and redirected to User:Melroross, which seems right to me. Or, Ed, do you think a blocked redirect could somehow interfere with the unblocked status of the target? Bishonen | tålk 09:38, 18 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

@Bishonen,@EdJohnston it appears that the blocked redirect is interfering, creating a 'blocked loop' with the unblocked profile, Melroross and treats BOTH the blocked profile Melrorross (unwanted) and the in principle, unblocked profile Melroross as one. I believe I had created the Melroross profile with the same Gmail account but maybe there is no email linked- hence the never receiving a temporary password code. Does this mean I may have lost my oldest profile? Any other suggestions you can give me? Many thanks ~2026-10853-57 (talk) 12:57, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, surely not. (I hope you still have the password you received for Melrorross..?) It seems odd that this only happens now and not before, but who understand these things (not me, for sure). We can try breaking the loop, either by unblocking Melrorross, or by deleting the redirect. I've tried unblocking, as I feel somebody might more easily, and in good faith, recreate the redirect. So there is now no block on either of the accounts. Now try, Melroross. If it works, of course the downside is that you'd better be really careful not to use Melrorross again. And if it doesn't work, I'll try undoing the redirect. Any comment, Ed? Or any other clever talkpage stalker? (Ed doesn't seem to be editing.) Bishonen | tålk 13:25, 18 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

Very odd, no idea how or why but good news is: I now can login with Melroross AFTER login in with Melrorross and changing a small detail on my Melroross profile. I have different passwords for the 2 profiles and happy to go back to Melroross again. I don't need or want Melrorross so, if you/another administrator can disable it once more, I'd be grateful. Again, many thanks for your help... peculiar occurrence Melroross (talk) 18:30, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) might not be the worst idea to have a backup account. or one for public computers. plenty of reasons to have socks. some of my favorite wikipedians are socks. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 18:45, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Special:EmailUser/Melroross doesn't work so it must not have Wikipedia email set up. This may explain why Melroross couldn't reset the password. However Special:EmailUser/Melrorross *does* work. If you can now log back in to Melroross that is good news, but you should right away go to Special:Preferences and enable an email address, so you can recover the password in the future. EdJohnston (talk) 19:50, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Will do, many thanks for the advice. Melroross (talk) 23:59, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
