Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at User talk:MIAJudges. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:56, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That was done in error as I was trying to copy the names they had on their page & I accidentally deleted it in error. But thank you

That seems odd: you, an editor who exclusively edits about judges, copied content from another editor who exclusively edited about judges. More to the point, that editor was blocked a month before you registered, so you never interacted with them. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:24, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing odd buddy. There's about a dozen of us on a blog about the judiciary. We have been on it for years. That user isn't on Wikipedia anymore updating the articles & the rest of us use Wikipeida for looking up judges. So we are all taking up the slack. That's why there's a number of new users here updating. I didn't know how to do so, so just getting some help from other users. If you ever see me make a mistake feel free to chime in as well. Thanks

I had no idea there was off-wiki coordination about these niche topics. I just assumed it was too weird of an interest for multiple people to discuss. Here I am, entirely atomized in my editing. I seldom discussed my editing even when I attended live in-person editing events. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:41, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. It's a pretty popular blog actually. There's a couple of dozen of us that regularly comment on it & often reference Wikipedia... Lol

Request reason:

I have been blocked because another user was blocked. I am a part of several new Wikipedia users from a blog about the judiciary and I seem to be the only one that was blocked for some reason. If you check the IP addresses you can see all (I can speak for myself but I assume it to be true for the others as well are different. We all are mostly interested in the judiciary and looking at Wikipedia for updates. When the other user stopped updating Wikipedia, some of us started. 8planets (talk) 21:46, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This seems to be an admission of

WP:MEAT and means the block is appropriate. Yamla (talk) 22:01, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

Request reason:

Hello. We were not recruited to advance anybody’s agenda. All of us have been on a blog about the federal judiciary together for years. We all use Wikipedia regularly. We did not want to see the pages for federal judges not be updated as often as before so we decided we would open accounts & help out. We do not have an agenda in any fashion other than having up to date and accurate information about the federal judiciary. 8planets (talk) 22:24, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You don't have to have a nefarious motive or agenda in order to be engaging in meat puppetry. 331dot (talk) 14:41, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
