Involved on Trump move request

Hey, I'm not sure if you're still planning to close the current move request at Talk:Trump, but I've just noticed you closed the December 2023 RM making the same request; that might make you involved per WP:RMCI#Conflicts of interest? Not sure what the bar for "controversial" is, because that RM was never getting closed as anything other than "not moved", but it did have a couple supports.

@Skarmory oh no... i clearly did not recall acting on the last move request. I have been accessing the current section directly from the anchor link in WP:RMC, so this was missed too. In my book, most move discussions are controversial by nature, so was the previous one. I won't be acting on a close for the current discussion in light of this. Thanks for reaching out. – robertsky (talk) 16:59, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Soft block for username

Hi, it's my understanding that a soft block for a username should just be removed once the account is renamed(since a soft block allows account creation); other concerns should be handled separately. 331dot (talk) 08:16, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

@331dot, Hmm.. I initially thought so too, then I saw WP:SOFTBLOCK recently which simply stating that a smaller number of rights are disabled, and silent on if another admin can step in and unblock upon renaming. but if the practice is to rename and unblock soft block, sure. – robertsky (talk) 13:19, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
