Welcome back

We sure missed you! Chaipau (talk) 13:19, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

@Chaipau: Thanks bud. A lot has changed in the articles it seems. To many users not willing to discuss in the talk pages. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:21, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

I have seen this trend in recent times. There is no appetite for consensus. And this has happened in most of the articles in my watchlist. And I am finding it difficult to pass obvious sockpuppets through some new admins. (Some of the admins who are familiar with these issues have retired/semi-retired.) So, it becomes difficult dealing with SPAs. Chaipau (talk) 13:38, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

@Chaipau: Yup, many such admins have retired it seems. Wikipedia will become a blog site especially when it comes to ethnic, linguistic and region related articles. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:43, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes, this is so sad. Maybe we should bring this up at ANI? I have had partial success in fending off SPA's in the past but it was heavy lifting and very tiring work. And lately, not as much. Chaipau (talk) 14:10, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey, good to see you back. I was worried about you!--RegentsPark (comment) 13:50, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

@RegentsPark: Thanks sir. Took a break because of RL reasons. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:15, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

That pesky real life :) Good to know that all was well. --RegentsPark (comment) 15:38, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

@RegentsPark: Yeah, all is well . But believe I'll not be that much active now. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:41, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
