Hi, I generally don't like it when non-admins comment on Talk pages of blocked users, but your comments at the user's Talk page were really helpful. You explained what happened perfectly. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:03, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- No worries Bbb23. I do appreciate seeing you pop up whenever I find socks and LTAs - it reassures me that I am doing the right thing. Of course, feel free to say anything if I ever do overstep. Patient Zerotalk 03:05, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Quick question
Hey,
Purely out of curiosity, I was wondering if you would be open to being an admin. I noticed you weren't, and wondered if you simply didn't want to be one or if you had never been nominated. (Acer's userpage |what did I do now) 00:49, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your kind words, Acer-the-Protogen! If ever I were to go for it, I would need to be confident that I would firstly a) have the community's support, and b) have plenty of time I can give to this project without going on any long breaks, like I had to back when I was a full-time university student. Once I can be confident that both criteria are fulfilled, perhaps I will... so, watch this space? ;) Best, Patient Zerotalk 00:54, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reply function and wiki markup aren't a great mix it seems, so Acer-the-Protogen, will attempt to ping you again - apologies for that! Patient Zerotalk 00:56, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the community's support at all. You're a very diligent and kind editor, and other people see that in you. (Acer's userpage |what did I do now) 10:45, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Without the community’s support I won’t pass the RFA/election, so that’s certainly still important! But thank you for the vote of confidence and the kind words - I really appreciate it. Patient Zerotalk 18:31, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
