Your "custom" warning and blocking templates

You may note that I have just deleted a number of templates you created. This was done under criterion T2 of the speedy deletion policy, which allows for the deletion of templates that blatantly misrepresent policy. In other words, they were just plain wrong as users are explictiy allowed to remove almost anything fromt their own user and talk pages per WP:BLANKING.

I also notice you have a number of other custom-made warning and blocking templates. I'm unsure why someone who cannot block anyone would need custom blocking templates, or why you would create your own versions of perfectly good templates we already have and that enjoy consensus support for usage on this project. Looking at them they seem to have poor formatting, poor grammar, and are a little "loud". While they do not qualify for the same criterion I used to speedy delete the other templates, given the issues I just mentioned I intend to nominate them for deletion via WP:MFD. However, you could elimate the need for that if you simply tag with {{db-user}}, which allows users to have things they created in their own userspace speedy deleted. Up to you, but I think it is likely they will end up being deleted anyway so I thought I'd offer you the chance to make it easy. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:08, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Google translate

About this: I really don't think it's a good idea. We've seen what happens when foreign language articles are "translated" to English and the result is almost always an incoherent mess. It's safe to assume that using google translate for other languages results in similar kind of nonsense. If you're trying to help a user understand policy then it's probably not useful to confuse them even further by leaving machine-translated messages. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 17:11, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

I've tried before to discuss the quality of your "help" with username issues, but it seems like you tend to just ignore anyone who tries to point such things out to you. To be perfectly honest, I think you are somewhat lacking in the level of WP:CLUE that is necessary for aiding with administrative tasks, ands I would ask that you stop working around UAA and username issues in general. I would appreciate some sort of reply here. I don't want to, but if you just ignore me and keep on doing it I intend to ask for a formal topic ban from username-related issues.
