Two users: User:Mayor of NYC and User:2601:201:280:1020:5557:6926:95D:59B3. Not sure if they're the same person, but the former is making mainspace articles about fan content and uploading unnecessary duplicate files, while the latter is making outright unconstructive edits. TurtleCrossing (talk) 23:09, September 3, 2020 (EDT)

Blocked both, it was clear that user wasn't here to contribute. I believe I've cleaned up all the pages and files they created. Thanks for pointing it out! ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 23:32, September 3, 2020 (EDT)

User:K055. Making very vulgar edits and pages. All of them should probably be hidden. TurtleCrossing (talk) 20:14, September 6, 2020 (EDT)

Nook Gamer 333 just changed the birthday schedule. It now says "stupid" where it should say "Pashmina". I have changed it back, though it was very unconstructive. ~~Elephant Lady xx (talk•contributions) 03:34, December 24, 2021 (EST)

They've now been warned, and we will watch for any further unconstructive edits. Thank you for reverting! Drago (talk) 10:15, December 24, 2021 (EST)

User:2600:6c60:5a00:e37b:44e8:84d:fb9b:73b1 Continues to make unconstructive talk page posts. The Jacketed Terrapin 21:59, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

Blocked for three days. I was considering just giving them a warning, but when checking the /64 range's contributions, I found that I'd given them a final warning already, so hopefully this acts as a wake-up call. Thanks for the report! Drago (talk) 10:53, August 19, 2022 (EDT)

User:Ganondoofus has vandalized Raymond's page with an unconstructive edit saying that Raymond enjoys wearing maid costumes. I undid this edit almost immediately after it happened. Ganondoofus is clearly not here to help the wiki, and I think they should be blocked. FizzyCocoaMan (talk) 01:02, April 19, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks for bringing this to attention. I notified the user of their problematic edit. They will be blocked if they make another edit of similarly unconstructive nature. HylianAngel (talk) 01:18, April 19, 2023 (EDT)

They've been blocked for repeated vandalism. HylianAngel (talk) 01:41, April 19, 2023 (EDT)

2600:4040:F085:F400:2925:D63B:EB4B:4F2B is a vandal and they added random false information to Joan's page about her beijg a wrestler. I've already reverted it, and I think they should be blocked. FizzyCocoaMan (talk) 14:07, May 9, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you for letting us know. This was a clear demonstration of vandalism. The user has been blocked for 3 days. Lampshade59276 (talk) 14:44, May 09, 2023 (EDT)

Please change my username to 50µs

My username is currently 50μs, where μ is the 'greek small letter mu'. Since I'm using it to mean "microseconds", I'd like my username changed to 50µs, where µ is the 'micro symbol'. Thanks! - unsigned comment from 50μs (talk • contribs)

I have approved and submitted your name change request. It may take a few hours for the change to show up across the entire site. Your next name change is available any time after: November 16, 2020. Enjoy! -- Jake (talk) 23:33, May 15, 2020 (EDT)

Bot query

Can I please make a bot? this bot will:

• Assist new users
• create pages with new users
• help people to report spam

The bot will be called "Helpful Nookipedia Friend" ~~Elephant Lady xx•talk•contributions) 06:28, December 20, 2021 (EST)

Can you please post or provide a link to the framework or source code of the bot? Thanks, Drago (talk) 15:08, December 20, 2021 (EST)

I dont know how that works I didnt realise Id have to do code ~~Elephant Lady xx (talk•contributions)

Will you help me do a code?? ToadetteFan007 (Talk) 13:15, April 6, 2022 (EDT)

I would recommend using an preexisting bot script services for MediaWiki like Pywikibot. Of course, doing so still requires some programming skills to work. I could recommend learning a bit or two from Python. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 22:52, April 6, 2022 (EDT)

Could my username be changed to Aspen as I do not wish to be named Aurora anymore. Aurora (talk) 13:16, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Hi Aurora: I see someone created the account Aspen today. Was that you? If so, I'll have to rename Aspen first, and then rename Aurora to Aspen. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 13:30, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Yes, that was me. I had forgot my password, but I remembered it. Go ahead and change the names. - unsigned comment from Aurora (talk • contribs)

Great, thanks! I have renamed your account. Note that you cannot request another rename for six months. Also, if you haven't already, I recommend going to your preferences and attaching an email to your account so you can recover your account if you forget your password again. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 15:24, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Hi, it lists the Spider Crab as a new bug on the main page for the north hemisphere but it is a sea creature. Please fix :), Sylveon 🌸🍉🍒 13:36, March 9, 2023 (EST)

I just checked, but the spider crab has a dark blue background on my end. Are you saying that you see a green background? HylianAngel (talk) 20:28, March 9, 2023 (EST)

I did not realise the backgrounds meant something! Sorry... ~Sylveon 🌸🍉🍒 07:39, March 12, 2023 (EDT)

can I be called charmander7 please like that no caps~~Sylveon 15:06, April 12, 2023 (EDT)

Hi Sylveon. The first letter of a username is always capitalized, and that is unfortunately not something we can change. You can still show your username as all lowercased in your signature if you wish. Let us know if you still want to be renamed to Charmander7. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 15:19, April 12, 2023 (EDT)

Yes please! ~~Sylveon 05:14, April 13, 2023 (EDT)

The rename is done! Please be sure to update your signature, and note that you cannot request another rename for at least six months. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:57, April 15, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry for asking but is there any way I can be Amongusfan282311839185678654789658589658965896578657865467865789657896578976897698686765567454434524435678978696785545745443532236436745754568688646435426435744545674565463354635364564554656566586868779987654324567890898090054565666556 again? I really liked that name. If not, can I be BigAmongUsAwesomeGuyCool? Don't include the question mark by the way, I was just phrasing it as a question. Thanks and I appreciate your help and contributions, no cold feelings of hard feelings. Amongusfan2823 (talk) 16:57, April 18, 2023 (EDT)

I renamed you to "BigAmongUsAwesomeGuyCool." The other name is too long, and the character limit is eventually going to be lowered so that users can't create names that long again. Since your name just got changed, you cannot request another name change for 6 months. HylianAngel (talk) 19:20, April 18, 2023 (EDT)

Just something to note.

So my irl sister is Charmander123 and I just wanted to say that User:Animalcrossingfan123 is one of her old accounts judjing by the contributions Charmander7 (Talk) 13:34, May 3, 2023 (EDT)

I'd rather not block an account unless there's better evidence or she admits herself that this was one of her old accounts. Drago (talk) 10:56, May 27, 2023 (EDT)

I found something when she originally asked AlexBot2004 to block her old accounts. "Recently I lost acess to a few old accounts. Please may you block them for me? April Toad Fan 700 Animal Crossing Fan Eevee"That's evidence right? Charmander7 (Talk) 02:14, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

Question.

when will the poll on the main page changed it usually changes each month but is been there for nearly 2 now Charmander7 (Talk) 13:54, May 26, 2023 (EDT)

I lost my old account

I forgot my password to Charmander7 account this is my new one please block the old one SunsetBay (talk) 06:42, August 14, 2023 (EDT)

That's fine, I'll go and block the old one. But please keep your password safe, because your sister has lost access to several accounts already and I don't want this to become a regular occurrence! Drago (talk) 10:43, August 14, 2023 (EDT)

That's fine! I won't let it happen again as I did know it- it just would not work? Also can you ask Cranston and Bill the users to stop posting this many messages on my page. SunsetBay

My sis lost ANOTHER account.

She made a new one Froggypotter block charmander123 SunsetBay 08:31, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

Rename

As per my conferring with User:Drago, I would like to be renamed. To Child of the Ancients. please? SunsetBay 14:17, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

Per our policy, users can be renamed, at most, once every six months. Your last account (Charmander7) was last renamed in April, and you also effectively got an additional "rename" by creating a new account. Your username is meant to be a consistent identifier and shouldn't be changed every few months. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 20:56, August 31, 2023 (EDT)

so next month FroggyPotter (talk) (her sis)
