Tupac[edit]
Hi, I saw your edit even though I cited professional sources from academic scholars. How come? Pier1999 (talk) 15:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well, perhaps you might go back and look at the sentences you added: "and according to accademic scholars one the most influential music artist of the 20th century". "According to experts was also a politically conscious activist voice for Black America.". Do you notice any problems with these sentences? What's an "accademic scholar" as opposed to any other sort of scholar? The sourcing is good; the use of language isn't. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 15:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Block evasion[edit]
Hello! User:Yfyyejgjwguj seems to be a sock of User:Vwqvj qwhiu. They have nearly identical userpages (see the infobox in particular). The latter is blocked, the former is not. Could you look into this please? GrayStorm(Talk|Contributions) 03:27, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sure is. Blocked. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 03:59, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
