Zahrazamedahmedi has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the preceding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!
'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple.
If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message! |

Loaf5979 not following sanction
[edit]Hey, I apologize if this isn't the right place, but I would like to let you know that Loaf5979, who you gave a six-month weather sanction, appears to be violating their sanction, as seen in this diff. Thank you in advance. Lightbulb Noob (talk) 15:29, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. @Loaf5979: I find it hard to believe you edited just before the sanction, then took a coincidental break that ended 2 days after the block expired, all-the-while remaining unaware of the topic ban. I am well within my rights to apply a block, but as a token of good faith consider this a final warning. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:22, 9 November 2026 (UTC)
- I may have misunderstood the sanction here, I believed that I was banned from editing for 2 weeks, and banned from weather talk pages for 6 months, I apologise, I wrongly believed that I was able to edit the article but not use the talk pages, I believed I was just contributing with my access to the eswd database after my sanction had ended.
