User:Andrew Dalby, I have no idea what you're talking about. My only contribution here is proposing an article for deletion that was created cross-wiki without any useful content and has been deleted on more than a dozen wikis (you can check that on wikidata). I got to that particular contribution while on small-wiki patrol. As an aside: next time, please put a message on my talk page so that I actually notice that I'm blocked. Another aside: this is my first block ever on any wiki. I'd appreciate if you could revert this block. Thanks. --Randykitty (disputatio) 13:58, 13 Februarii 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I've unblocked you. Your userpage message suggested to me that you didn't expect direct communication, otherwise I would have put a note here. I didn't want to go to your English userpage and talk about a block, because it could be a mere misunderstanding -- as indeed I guess it is.
- Since another editor, previously unknown here, had reverted work by that same anonymous user, just the previous day, and explained this procedure by reference to the anonymous user's psychology, I had a feeling, when you arrived to propose a deletion, that this user was being hounded. It was probably an unlucky coincidence, and if am mistaken, as I think I am, please accept my apologies. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:19, 13 Februarii 2015 (UTC)
- Apologies accepted :-) I had my user page created automatically on all wikis. If I perform an edit on a wiki, I change the preferences to have me emailed if a message is posted on my talk, but you couldn't know that, of course. But I just now saw this block and it would have been nice to be able to clear this up earlier. --Randykitty (disputatio) 14:23, 13 Februarii 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I regret that. Please don't stop visiting Vicipaedia for this reason! The work you do is really useful. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 14:30, 13 Februarii 2015 (UTC)
- My contributions can only be fighting obvious vandalism, as my Latin is unfortunately not very strong and dates from my botanist days (when I even published -a few lines- in Latin in a scientific article). Oh, and my childhood Catholic upbringing, of course :-) --Randykitty (disputatio) 14:35, 13 Februarii 2015 (UTC)
