I happened to come across <a href="/wiki/User:Kintetsubuffalo" title="User:Kintetsubuffalo">User:Kintetsubuffalo</a>, who <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&amp;page=User%3AKintetsubuffalo&amp;type=block">you blocked</a> in April 2023 with the note "Hell no." and <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kintetsubuffalo#April_2023" title="User talk:Kintetsubuffalo">the talk page message</a> "You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for WP:NONAZIS ask me about it." I was curious what specifically prompted the block, since the block note and talk page message aren't very specific, and from what I can see there weren't any edits made by that user around the time you blocked them (unless they've been deleted, of course). All good if you can't remember/can't answer, it was quite a while ago and this is just out of curiosity anyway :] <a href="/wiki/User:Suntooooth" title="User:Suntooooth">Suntooooth</a>, it/he (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Suntooooth" title="User talk:Suntooooth">talk</a>/<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Suntooooth" title="Special:Contributions/Suntooooth">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish#c-Suntooooth-20241119011800-Question_about_a_block" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:18, 19 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Suntooooth-20241119011800-Question_about_a_block"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241119011800","author":"Suntooooth","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Suntooooth-20241119011800-Question_about_a_block","replies":["c-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800-Suntooooth-20241119011800"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Suntooooth-20241119011800-Question_about_a_block"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800-Suntooooth-20241119011800"></span>Google should help you here. <i><b><a href="/wiki/User:Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish" title="User:Catfish Jim and the soapdish"><span style="COLOR:#313F33">Catfish</span></a> <a class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="COLOR:#313F33">Jim</span></a><small style="COLOR:#313F33"> and the soapdish</small></b></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish#c-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800-Suntooooth-20241119011800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800-Suntooooth-20241119011800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241119082800","author":"Catfish Jim and the soapdish","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800-Suntooooth-20241119011800","replies":["c-Suntooooth-20241119084900-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800"],"displayName":"Catfish"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800-Suntooooth-20241119011800"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Suntooooth-20241119084900-Catfish_Jim_and_the_soapdish-20241119082800"></span>I mean, I've looked at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NONAZIS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NONAZIS">WP:NONAZIS</a> and can infer that the block was something to do with Nazis, but this still doesn't answer my question, nor do I know what I'm supposed to be googling.
