==Admin granted==
Hello. I found your block by filter has been removed by MacFan4000, who is steward of this wiki.

As it's been confirmed that that was false positive by steward and I couldn't find any problem with you, I've granted admin as requested.

Thank you.--[[User:Q8j|Q8j]] ([[User talk:Q8j|talk]]) 15:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
:Thanks I am very happy about it, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 20:00, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

==Tailsultimatefan3891 English Wikipedia account==
Since tails has been banned i been looking to try to find his wikipedia account and today he mentioned something about wikiblash i forgot but i looked at his centralauth and he was banned on the english wikipedia for sockpuppeting maybe you should look at this? {{unsigned|Lolkikmoddi}}
: Dear, {{Ping|Lolkikmoddi}} Thanks for expressing your concern about the misuse of {{Ping|Tailsultimatefan3891}}. I am aware that he has been blocked on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tailsultimatefan3891 enwiki] and [https://www.thetestwiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Tm8150switch88 The Test Wiki] (sockpuppet of Tailsultimatefan3891) for these problems. I agreed with Tailsultimatefan3891 that he would wait a year before submitting an unblocking request. Furthermore, I sincerely hope he can behave on other wikis in the meantime; otherwise, I can only conclude that he is untrustworthy. I cannot then give a positive opinion on his unblocking; he may then effectively be considered banned. Unless a steward decides to give him another chance anyway (because then it does become a steward case in my opinion). Let's hope he truly understands that this may be his last chance for a return to us. Greetings, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 08:15, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

==Follow up regarding your block of [[User:Tailsultimatefan3891|Tailsultimatefan3891]]==
Hi Drummingman,

I'm a Test Wiki [[Test Wiki:Stewards|Steward]], following up on your block of your [[User:Tailsultimatefan3891|Tailsultimatefan3891]]. I don't doubt your block was preventative and not punitive, but could you kindly give me a brief synopsis of the misuse of alternate accounts beyond your log summaries indicate as "beyond reasonable"? As well, would you mind listing the potential, suspected, and other alternate accounts? I'd be willing to give the user another chance, but I'd like to determine the extent of the illegitimate sockpuppetry and original block reasons, first. :) Cheers,
::Dear, Dmehus I blocked this one because first of all he insulted your with a sock puppet and then put it back. While already another admin had blocked that [https://testwiki.wiki/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3ATUFTest4&type=block pop] for vandalism. All the other accounts were clearly test sock puppets. And I blocked them for those reasons. In case I made a big mistake I am very sorry. I just wanted to protect the site and you as a person from this kind of stalking behavior from good and bad hand. Greetings from, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 23:11, 11 November 2022 (UTC) 
:Can you explain how [[Special:Diff/25186|this diff]] by [[User:Tailsultimatefan3891|Tailsultimatefan3891]] contains the exact same technical details by [[User:Drummingman|you]] in [[Special:Diff/25325|this edit]]? [[User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 22:34, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
:: I can't speak Spanish :-) I also don't understand what you mean by technical details here? I just wanted to fix a spelling mistake here. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 23:11, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
::: I think I know what happened. I can explain on IRC if you're still in The Test Wiki channel? Your work has been good here. If you'd like your permissions restored, just let me know. [[User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 00:01, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

==Congratulations==
I wish you good luck in your stewardship. [[User:LisafBia|LisafBia]] ([[User talk:LisafBia|talk]]) 17:59, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

==Interface admin rights==
Hello! I saw you granted yourself interface admin (IA) rights. I trust you completely with these, but I urge you to be very cautious. As a IA on another wiki, I can say that sitewide JS/CSS is very complicated. I couldn’t find any experience that you had with this on other projects, so I just thought I’d urge you to be careful when making actions. 

Thanks! [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 20:38, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for your concern, agree. I just wanted to test something to see what the differences are that with steward and interface, but did not want to do IA actions I have little understanding of that.  Meanwhile, I have seen enough and I am withdrawing it again. Greetings, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 20:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

==Interface admin==
Hello @[[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]]. Sorry to bother you again. I was wondering if you could grant me interface admin rights so I can import a script from For-Test Wiki here and perform some minor improvements to the user rights manager script (and also possibly Twinkle). I am an IA on ForTest Wiki, if that means anything to you. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 17:48, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
:*{{On hold}} - Give me some time, I am also reviewing it with another steward :-), Greetings, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 19:14, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
:*:Sure. Take your time, I get it. :) [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
:*:If I may, why do you feel you have to ask your fellow stewards before performing every steward action? The community elected and put their trust in '''you'''. When I was a new steward on FTW, I’ll be honest, I did the same thing. I asked my fellow stewards questions before performing any action. I just wanted to remind you that the community trusts you :) [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
:*::Thanks for the trust. Since this is a very sensitive right, as you also reminded me above, I think this is important, also because I have little understanding of interface issues. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 19:38, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
