== Maxim Masiutin controversial bot-like editing ==

* {{Userlinks|Maxim Masiutin}}

On January 24, I blocked this editor from mainspace for one hour to force them to stop their unauthorized bot-like editing and reply to the '''four''' objections on their talk page about [[WP:COSMETICBOT]], [[WP:MEATBOT]], and [[WP:FAITACCOMPLI]] that had gone unanswered for approximately six hours while they continued the same kinds of bot-like edits. The relevant user talk threads are [[User talk:Maxim Masiutin/Archives/2024/January#Cite -> cite by bot|here]] and [[User talk:Maxim Masiutin/Archives/2024/January#January 2024|here]].

One of the behaviors about their bot-like editing that bothered me is that they are mass changing the template {{t|Cite}} to {{t|cite}} in articles. While this may seem like a little thing at first, I really dislike seeing this on my watchlist. It is my belief that all template first letters should be capitalized, because the software will not allow someone to create an uncapitalized template. It's [[Template:Cite]], not [[Template:cite]], so why would we mass convert {{t|Cite}} to {{t|cite}}?

This editor is back at it again, for example with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COVID-19_lab_leak_theory&curid=66692273&diff=1206097166&oldid=1205193433 this edit] today.

I also see some other hints of unauthorized and objected-to [[WP:COSMETICBOT]]-like editing, for example at [[User talk:Maxim Masiutin/Archives/2024/January#Be careful]].

Can we get some kind of action to stop this behavior please? This user is cluttering watchlists, not getting consensus for their controversial edits, and is disregarding users who have asked them to stop. Thank you for your attention to this matter. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 16:39, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

:<s>The editor should be blocked until he promises to stop making edits such as converting {{t|Cite}} to {{t|cite}}.</s> His last explanation for this on the talk page was that it was motivated by consistency. That's just inadequate. There is no need for consistency in this area. These are non-constructive cosmetic edits. —[[User talk:Alalch E.|Alalch E.]] 16:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
::If you think that replacing Cite to Cite are not needed, I would not do that. [[User:Maxim Masiutin|Maxim Masiutin]] ([[User talk:Maxim Masiutin|talk]]) 17:10, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
:::Yeah, great. There is reason to suspect that you wanted to impose this phantom consistency by combining otherwise inappropriate, purely cosmetic, edits with the barest-minimum-of substantive, token substantive, edits, that are not the primary intended change. After I looked again at your recent edits I can not find any edit that consists solely of changing {{tl|Cite}} to {{tl|cite}}. That appears to always be combined with some other change, a substantive change, making all of those edits (that I've seen), consisting of multiple types of changes, technically okay as a whole. But technically okay doesn't mean advisable.{{pb}}And, really, I don't think you were consciously trying to create a fait accompli as Novem Linguae has accused you, but the friction arising from the appearance isn't worth it. It's great that you should stop converting Cite to cite, because it distracts editors looking at the watchlist, makes it hard to find the substantive part of your edit in the diff, and makes it harder to understand what your edit is about. Editors see an edit in their watchlist starting with words such as: {{tq|Used lowercase "cite" template everywhere for consistency ...}} and they think it's a non-helpful purely cosmetic edit. This type of consistency would truly be a phantom. It's a worthless consistency. It doesn't matter if it's "Cite" or "cite". I don't agree with {{u|Novem Linguae}} that "Cite" is correct and "cite" is wrong. Neither is correct or wrong, they are the same. The variation doesn't affect anything. {{pb}}I retract the part of my previous comment saying that I think you should be blocked, after reviewing more, and after your commitment to stop replacing Cite with cite. —[[User talk:Alalch E.|Alalch E.]] 01:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
::::Thank you very much for your thorough investigation and for your detailed comment. I also sometimes change <nowiki>{{short description|}}</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{Short description}}</nowiki>. 
::::May I propose that each template that allows multiple spelling, such as <nowiki>{{Cite}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{cite}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{short description|}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{Short description|}}</nowiki> to have a defined preferred spelling, for example, in the documentation? I mean that such templates must have explicit mention in the documentation that different case variations are allowed, but the suggested (recommended) variant is ... . 
::::Where do you think is a place to discuss this proposal of mine? [[User:Maxim Masiutin|Maxim Masiutin]] ([[User talk:Maxim Masiutin|talk]]) 13:23, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
:Are you concerned that I use Citations bot to fix article errors or that I change Cite to cite when there is already the majority of the intances are lowercase and just a few uppercase? [[User:Maxim Masiutin|Maxim Masiutin]] ([[User talk:Maxim Masiutin|talk]]) 17:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
:Why didn't you mention that I used citation expander which is the standard tool included in gadgets that I added Semantic scholar ID and PubMed ID?
:That article had 52 uppercase Cite and 325 lowercase cite, so I thought all lowercase cite would be appropriate. Would it have been OK if I just added Semantic scholar ID and PubMed ID but kept the case of the cite? It would have anyway triggered the update in your watchlist. Please let me know what kind of activity would you like me to stop. [[User:Maxim Masiutin|Maxim Masiutin]] ([[User talk:Maxim Masiutin|talk]]) 17:09, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
::I think if you did the following 3 things I would be happy and withdraw my objections: 1) Never change {{t|Cite}} to {{t|cite}} again, since I feel this is changing correct code to incorrect code. 2) Read [[WP:COSMETICBOT]] and make sure the gnoming edits you choose to work on follow WP:COSMETICBOT and are important enough to merit a diff and watchlist disruption. 3) Pay close attention to when your edits are objected to, and immediately stop until you have consensus. Controversial edits should never be done in a [[WP:MEATBOT]] like manner. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 17:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
:::OK! I do (1), (2) and (3). Is that be OK if done a substantial amount of edits to an article on contents (not just technical edits), such as preparing it to a GA nomination, changing Cite to cite should not constitute an (1) event?

[[User:Maxim Masiutin|Maxim Masiutin]] ([[User talk:Maxim Masiutin|talk]]) 17:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
::::Fixing CS1 errors doesn't bother me. You can probably keep doing that unless/until someone objects. I will always object to changing {{t|Cite}} to {{t|cite}} if I see it, because I believe this is changing correct code to incorrect code. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 17:34, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::OK, I will not be changing Cite to cite if you object, because I have no interest in it, you (or somebody) probably proposed to start a discussion, but I didn't start a discussion because for me it is not an important point; however, if in the future there will occasionally be a discussion and a consensus on the case of templates, let me know, because I sometimes change "short description" to "Short description" template.

:I wonder whether discussions in the Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents would affect my "reputation", i.e. when someone will complain about my edits in the future, will they be able to refer to this incident to reinforce their arguments?

::If you continue to do the same things, then yes, someone will refer to this discussion.

:I am asking you because I take your concerns seriously, i.e. when you first time contacted me about "cite", I stopped replacing "cite" everywhere, and began only replacing it (1) only when there were other substantive edits, and (2) when the majority of "cite" were already lowercase. But after your raised another concern yesterday that you didn't like it, I promised to never change it unless I work on article content, writing stuff, such as preparing article for a GA or to raise a category, such as from C to B. Would you mind in the future to contact me first, i.e. via my Talk page or via an article in concern talk page, and if we would not resolve quickly, write to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, rather than writing to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents straight away? [[User:Maxim Masiutin|Maxim Masiutin]] ([[User talk:Maxim Masiutin|talk]]) 14:26, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
::I feel that we already discussed this on Jan 24, and I had mentioned escalating to a noticeboard in that discussion, so a noticeboard was in my mind the next logical step.
::Even if I am wrong or not in the majority on my template capitalization preferences here (which is possible), the takeaway here should be that bot-like editing must be exceptionally conservative, careful, and respectful of consensus and complaints. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 17:52, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

I began tracking {{user|GabrielPenn4223}}'s contributions after they made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Phoenix,_Arizona&diff=prev&oldid=1197356315 this questionable move request] last month, and in the time since, I've noticed some behavior that is concerning, to say the least.

They have been [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tigerdude9&diff=prev&oldid=1206311981 combative with other users over edits that are several years old], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Crouch,_Swale&diff=prev&oldid=1206724380 combative in general], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GabrielPenn4223#January_2024_2 have previously been blocked for inappropriate behavior], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=3333_Beverly_Road has created draft articles in mainspace], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GabrielPenn4223#February_2024 was nearly blocked ''again''], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GabrielPenn4223#January_2024 nominated numerous articles for GA status despite not being a significant contributor to them], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_26,_1963 created questionable redirects], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2001_New_York_attacks&diff=prev&oldid=1205405283 made questionable requests for deletion], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:September_11_attacks&diff=prev&oldid=1205333393 made questionable requests for page renaming], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Albuquerque,_New_Mexico#Could_we_move_to_just_%22Albuquerque%22? made requests that would clearly fail], and has apparently done all of these things under the guise of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GabrielPenn4223/We_All_Are_Not_Perfect we are not all perfect].

It seems that after being told to stop nominating articles for GA status (and apologizing for their behavior), they have moved on to nominating articles for deletion or redirect, often without any consideration to their subject matter, general notability, or existing references. Ultimately, I believe their intentions, while good in nature, are misguided, and they are creating more and wholly unnecessary work for other editors, and I've seen enough of it that I thought it might be prudent to open a discussion into their editing patterns. Of course, I could be wildly off base here, but as a (mostly) uninvolved third party, I felt like it was time to bring these edits to attention. <b>[[User:GSK|GSK]]</b> <small>([[User_talk:GSK|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GSK|edits]])</small> 05:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

== An editor who contributes valuable content... sometimes ==

I noticed a newly created category, Category:Pro–nuclear_weapons_activists, with only one BLP entry in it. I submitted it to CfD. The category creator is [[User:CJ-Moki|CJ-Moki]]. CJ-Moki has a long history of deleted categories and deleted articles. So many deletions and warnings over so many years; however, CJ also contributes good content to the project. Have a look at [[User_talk:CJ-Moki]]. I am laughing as I type these examples of problem content: [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_March_19#Category:Targets_of_Gamergate|Category:Targets of Gamergate]], Category:Holocaust perpetrators in Libya, [[Look What We Made Taylor Swift Do]], [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_27&oldid=1182217307|Template:Nazi discussion]], [[User_talk:CJ-Moki#Orphaned_non-free_image_File:Harriet_Tubman_folding_chair.jpg|Harriet Tubman folding chair]], and [[User_talk:CJ-Moki#Disputed_non-free_use_rationale_for_File:Behind_Closed_Doors_Mr._Krabs_fellatio.png|Mr. Krabs felllatio]]. I suppose this could be described as periodic disruptive editing? The problem activity isn't localized to any one topic or namespace, and it is intermittent. OTOH, this is an example of one of many contributions that made it to DYK status by the editor: [[Behind_Closed_Doors_(book)|Behind Closed Doors: Horrible, Filthy, Vile, Disgusting, Inappropriate, Off-Model Drawings by the Crew of a Popular Cartoon Show]], so maybe we take the good with the bad?

== Cornsimpel ==

[[User:Cornsimpel|<bdi>Cornsimpel</bdi>]] ([[User talk:Cornsimpel|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Cornsimpel|contribs]]) is a user who's been active in Armenia-Azerbaijan and related topics since December 2023, being completely inactive for 2 years previously. I’ve noticed their edits in [[Anatolia]] article and reverted them because of the [[WP:GS/AA|extended confirmed restriction]] on these topics. I have also warned them of the restriction [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cornsimpel&diff=prev&oldid=1205025458] and reverted other edits covered by it. Nevertheless, Cornsimpel reverted me [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1205259258] in violation of the restriction, then made a spree of edits claiming “self-rv” [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&action=history] when in actuality they still ended up moving the whole Etymology section which covered Armenian genocide, erasure of Armenia mention and place name changes in the aftermath of the genocide, etc, to the very bottom of the article, just like in their original edit that I reverted. Cornsimpel has done the same thing in other articles under the restriction, reverting and restoring their edits [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatolia&diff=prev&oldid=1205257817], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mu%C5%9F_Province&diff=prev&oldid=1205268647] claiming "not within ec restriction" (see sections that these articles too are literally under the restriction, with explicit mention of Armenian genocide [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatolia&diff=prev&oldid=1205257817#Changing_toponyms_after_the_Armenian_genocide], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mu%C5%9F_Province&diff=prev&oldid=1205268647#History]). And in similar fashion such as in [[Eastern Anatolia Region]], moved down or just outright removed any mention of Armenian genocide, place name changes in the genocide aftermath, see [[Anatolia]].

The user then proceeded to [[WP:GAME]] extended confirmed restriction by doing 100+ edits in one day, such rapid activity was never shown before in their contributions history, neither the type of edits like random inconsequential article moves never done before by this user, presumably in order to game extended confirmed faster [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatolian_Sub-Plate&diff=prev&oldid=1205366174], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Anatolian_Sub-Plate&diff=prev&oldid=1205366180], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Okhotsk_microplate&diff=prev&oldid=1205387776], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Okhotsk_microplate&diff=prev&oldid=1205387781], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amurian_microplate&diff=prev&oldid=1205395924], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Amurian_microplate&diff=prev&oldid=1205395928]. 

All in all, it’s safe to conclude the user was violating the restriction while doing [[WP:TENDENTIOUS|POV]] edits and restoring them, then in one article claims “self-rv” while literally just doing same edit as before (moving info down), and in another claims to not be within ec restriction when clearly the article was under the restriction. Then, presumably in order to justify all of these restriction violations and POV, goes on a 100+ edits spree never done before in their contributions' history, and [[WP:GAME|games]] extended confirmed restriction.
I believe the user should at least be topic banned from Armenia-Azebaijan and related articles simply because they lack the competence and first thing is to revert violating the restriction they've been warned about hours before, edit in a POV manner to begin with, and game the system afterwards. [[User:Vanezi Astghik|Vanezi]] ([[User talk:Vanezi Astghik|talk]]) 16:36, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

:I'm a little take aback by this complaint. Vanezi, you reverted many other editors on the Anatolia article. I did not think that was right and I explained that to you in an edit summary. I asked you to get in touch with me if you wanted me to clean out my own edits. You did not reply to me there or on my talk page where I invited you to raise additional concerns with me. I feel a little bit like you baited me telling me you were reverting because of an EC restriction and then waiting until after I made EC to file this complaint. It's true that I did feel more engaged than after so many of my edits were reverted, but also because I'm very interested in the subject I am working on (earthquakes and geology). I haven't been editing as often because I did a lot of research before making my edits. But, I'm very proud of the work I did today by the way, the tectonic plate articles are very difficult articles and I have been working on them for hours, and all year for the work I did to make today's edits so I don't see it as WP:GAME, I was just very well prepared to make a large number of difficult, substantial edits quickly. [[User:Cornsimpel|Cornsimpel]] ([[User talk:Cornsimpel|talk]]) 16:58, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Cornsimpel reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1205417958 again] shortly after gaming extended confirmed by making rapid 100+ edits in one day, never done before in their contributions. Their edit is just a tendentious POV change. They added an unsourced section, but what's alot more concerning is that they tweaked the lead and an already existing section of Etymology, both of which were sourced and covered the article's relation to [[Armenian genocide]], [[Western Armenia]], Turkification and [[Place name changes in Turkey]] in the genocide's aftermath. From individual summary of their edits, you can see that the edits themselves don't make sense such as removing sourced content from lead and doing [[WP:OR|original research]] changes with bogus edit summary [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1204889314], removing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1204891043 sources] from a caption then adding the same picture with a completely different caption and unexplained quotations [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1205531441]. 

Same thing in another article, again reverting [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatolia&diff=prev&oldid=1205257817] and restoring mostly their POV edits which again include removal of entire reliable sourced paragraph about Armenian genocide and Western Armenia relation to the name change [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatolia&diff=prev&oldid=1191376597].

I think it's evident that the user isn't concerned about POV issues at all which I already mentioned above, and the first thing they do after gaming extended confirmed status is to edit-war and restore their tendentious original research edits which have no consensus and in several instances are just reliable sources removals and original research rewording. That's why I have stated that Cornsimpel hasn’t shown the competency required to edit in a contentious topic area such as Armenia-Azerbaijan, and especially concerning Armenian genocide. [[User:Vanezi Astghik|Vanezi]] ([[User talk:Vanezi Astghik|talk]]) 16:29, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

:How can the user just [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1204889314 randomly] change sourced content and remove sources then reword with their own WP:OR? This is unacceptable. Their edit summary makes no sense. They also [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1204889914 remove] historical info but now from the body.

They also keep adding scare quotes as evident by the diffs. And they [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eastern_Anatolia_Region&diff=prev&oldid=1206162370 added] completely irrelevant to the article info to the lead and body that has no connection to Eastern Anatolia region's name changes; this seems like an attempt to push more POV in any ways possible, even if the article is irrelevant to the added info and their added source doesn't make the connection to the Eastern Anatolia name change either.

*{{userlinks|Thomas Basboll}}

Thomas Basboll is continuing to engage in tendentious [[WP:FORUMSHOPPING]] and edit warring regarding the Tim Hunt biography. For several years Basboll has insisted on framing a 2015 controversy regarding comments that Hunt made at a conference that were widely considered sexist as an "online shaming" campaign. After {{u|LokiTheLiar}} recently attempted to alter this, they were reverted by Basboll and subsequently made a post at [[WP:NPOVN]] ([[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#Tim Hunt]])  Over half a dozen people responded, none of which agreed with Basbolls position. Discussion was then opened at Hunts talkpage ([[Talk:Tim Hunt]]) which again found against Basbolls position. Basboll is still reverting any attempt to alter the wording in the article despite a consensus against their postion, and has now opened a discussion at [[WP:BLPN]] ([[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Tim Hunt]] which is a clear attempt at [[WP:FORUMSHOPPING]]. Basboll needs to be firmly told to [[WP:DROPTHESTICK]] regarding this issue. [[User:Hemiauchenia|Hemiauchenia]] ([[User talk:Hemiauchenia|talk]]) 06:29, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

:From the beginning, I believe this should have been raised at [[WP:BLPN]] not [[WP:NPOVN]] and I said so repeatedly. At the moment the dispute is about including as quotation a disputed report of the most shameful thing the subject of the article has ever been accused of saying or doing. Getting the story even half-way right, will force us to make it a [[WP:COATRACK]] for the entire social shaming incident that he was the victim of. This clearly violates [[WP:BLP]] and that is the position I'm maintaining. Also, I have said repeatedly that I am reverting only out of caution (again a BLP concern). The disputed section has been stable for several years. A few more weeks of it being (perhaps too) kind to its subject isn't going to make a huge difference in the long. A few weeks of slander, by contrast, can do unnecessary harm.[[User:Thomas Basboll|Thomas B]] ([[User talk:Thomas Basboll|talk]]) 06:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

[[User:Bon courage|Bon courage]] ([[User talk:Bon courage|talk]]) 07:16, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
*:This looks like something of a misrepresentation of the discussion at the neutral point of view noticeboard [[Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Tim_Hunt]], where there were two options, both of which did mention online shaming, while the version that Hemiauchenia last made at Tim Hunt did not. It's certainly not true that TB is the only person advocating inclusion of the words (Firefangledfeathers wrote "I think the online shaming must be mentioned"). The two options were suggested on 3rd Feb, and here we are two days later claiming a consensus on an extremely divisive issue - it needs more time for discussion. Hemiauchenia's edit was therefore not changing an article according to a clear consensus arrived after adequate discussion. It is ''really, really'' unhelpful that this content dispute has been scattered over so many noticeboards. Let's fix on one place to discuss, and if discussion fails, go to DR. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 12:42, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

:I don't know with certainty that there's clear consensus for any particular version, but we did have (rough, early) consensus at the NPOVN noticeboard about a better starting point than TB's preferred version. It was apparent very early on in the process that consensus was against TB's version, so TB's reverts to that version are definitely evidence of stonewalling. Some of the strongest consensus items—that the incident should not be presented primarily as one of online shaming and that some quoted material should be included—have been reverted to the point of disruption.

:Having participated in the [[WP:NPOVN]] discussion, I agree with what Hemiauchenia, Loki, Bon courage, and Firefangledfeathers said. Thomas B is stonewalling by reverting additions to the ''Controversy'' section of the [[Tim Hunt]] article despite consensus against em. And indeed, this user has been removing large amounts of content from that section for 4 years. I'm also under an impression that the amount and frequency of comments made by this user is distractingly excessive, going against [[WP:BLUDGEONING]].

=== Proposal for page ban ===

To avoid spending even more time on this, I propose for [[User:Thomas Basboll|Thomas Basboll]] to be page-banned from [[Tim Hunt]] and [[Online shaming]] articles and their talk pages per above evidence.

Pinging all the talk page and NPOVN discussion participants to weigh in: {{u|Elinruby}}, {{u|NicolausPrime}}, {{u|Barnards.tar.gz}}, {{u|JoelleJay}}, {{u|Hemiauchenia}}, {{u|Bon courage}}, {{u|LokiTheLiar}}, {{u|Firefangledfeathers}}, {{u|Zanahary}}, {{u|Elemimele}}, {{u|JayBeeEll}}.

* '''Support''' as proposer. Thomas B has been edit warring, repeatedly reverting others to maintain the stripped-down version e created even after being warned against stonewalling by the administrator Firefangledfeathers and in violation of [[WP:3RR]]. The user has been also posting an excessive amount of comments in the discussions, which constitutes [[WP:BLUDGEONING]]. This user's POV is clearly too strong to participate in these pages constructively. [[User:NicolausPrime|NicolausPrime]] ([[User talk:NicolausPrime|talk]]) 19:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

* '''Support'''. I came in here with thoughts of making a similar proposal. This topic is clearly very important to the user for whatever reason, and he has repeatedly said that various editors including {{u|Firefangledfeathers}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tim_Hunt&diff=next&oldid=1202610930] who do not ascribe to his point of view do not understand the issues.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tim_Hunt&diff=next&oldid=1204007401] What he said to me imho reaches the level of a personal attack. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tim_Hunt&diff=next&oldid=1204018238 see above]) But back to Thomas B: He seems, beyond the issues of tone, to feel a strong need to argue individual points made by other editors one by one in favor of there being nothing sexist at all about calling women "girls" or joking that they present a problem. There seems to be no question that he is impeding quite a reasoned discussion of how best to report this because he feels that it should not be reported at all.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tim_Hunt&diff=prev&oldid=1203607784] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tim_Hunt&diff=next&oldid=1203370135][[User:Elinruby|Elinruby]] ([[User talk:Elinruby|https talk]]) 19:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

* '''Puzzled'''. This strikes me as a bit over-the-top. As I recently said[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ATim_Hunt&diff=1204254533&oldid=1204244342], I'm happy to disengage from the whole disussion voluntarily until the page is unprotected. After that, I'm sort of assuming that the consensus is so heavily against me that I can't have any say on the article page, given the constraints of 3RR. I had intended to keep offering criticism and suggestions on the talk page, however. I think banning your critics is a bad idea. [[User:Thomas Basboll|Thomas B]] ([[User talk:Thomas Basboll|talk]]) 20:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
S
* '''Partial support'''; I support a temporary page ban but not a permanent one yet. I honestly don't think Thomas B's behavior on talk pages is really that terrible, though it's not great. But his behavior when actually editing the Tim Hunt article has been bright-line edit warring against a clear consensus, in addition to POV pushing. My understanding is that it's very normal for admins to impose temp page bans against users that edit war like this. [[User:LokiTheLiar|Loki]] ([[User talk:LokiTheLiar|talk]]) 02:16, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
*:Temporary would be OK. It would cut down on the time sink involved in fixing the issue and maybe pierce his utter certitude that the people he is bludgeoning are either acting in bad faith or  simply can't or won't read. Permanent is not in the cards anyway for a relative newbie with no prior blocks. If he picks the behaviour back up then a somewhat longer page block would be usual, I think. If I have that wrong hopefully an admin will tell us [[User:Elinruby|Elinruby]] ([[User talk:Elinruby|talk]]) 05:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' - this is too heavy-handed. I've looked at the various discussions/talk page and his comments are not out of line. If he continues to edit war at the article in question, then a block for edit-warring is the remedy, not trying to ban someone you disagree with.

*'''Oppose''' If there is any sanction to be handed out, it should be to both parties in this content dispute. Having taken the time to look at the edit involved, the so-called quote shouldn't be mentioned for a number of reasons. Firstly, what was actually said was disputed, so putting it in Wikipedia's voice is accepting one version as the true one. That isn't what Wikipedia is supposed to do. Secondly, text is a crap media for conveying nuance, the hosts of the event made clear the remarks were light hearted and jocular and hadn't offended anyone or spoiled the conference. In fact the only person seemingly offended was the journalist who reported them out of context. So those insisting that the quote should be included and edit warring to force it into the article as a [[WP:TAG]] team should receive a [[WP:TROUT]]. Moving on to the insistence of Thomas this be classed as online shaming. He is actually correct in that this is a view in the literature and Wikipedia should reflect the range of opinions in the literature. He is also correct in suggesting that the BLP article shouldn't be dominated by this controversy and its appropriate to link to the online shaming article. He is also correct in seeking to resolve matters on the noticeboards. Where he is wrong is in edit warring to remove it, though I understand the dilemma of a wikipedia editor being the lone voice. The motion for a topic ban is an example of an inappropriate use of ANI, it seeks to remove one party who has a valid opinion, with the aim of clearing the decks to impose the views of the other side in a content dispute. As such I strongly oppose a topic ban. <span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Wee Curry Monster|W]][[Special:contributions/Wee Curry Monster|C]][[User talk:Wee Curry Monster|M]]</span><sub>[[Special:EmailUser/Wee Curry Monster|email]]</sub> 08:30, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' as a bit too heavy-handed. I think it's important we are able to debate things in which people have strongly-held views. Of course a "lone voice" must be prepared to give way as consensus turns against them, but lone voices can also make valuable points that the rest of us have missed. It's important to Wikipedia that we don't deter those who adopt a minority viewpoint. Bans have a strong chilling effect, and should be used with extreme caution. In this case, TB's most unhelpful action was starting discussions in multiple locations, worth a smallish trout. The focus on his personal motivations by other editors is equally worthy of a small trout. So, distribute fish as needed, and leave it at that!

This ended up being a lot longer than I intended.  I had walked away from the talk page, I had planned that I was not going to edit at all this weekend and do something more useful like cleaning the oven.  What is desperately needed at this page is an admin with experience of [[WP:BLP]], because the edits being proposed are in violation of our BLP policy.

I realise that ANI is not the place to discuss content and I do not intend to do anymore than is necessary to explain the background but it is necessary to help with BLP.  8 years ago the Nobel Prize winning scientist [[Tim Hunt]] attended a conference in South Korea.  Tim Hunt who is described by his wife as "socially awkward" and "less than wordly" was asked at the last minute to give a toast during lunch.  Extremely nervous he gave a 2-3 minute speech that included a self-deprecating joke that was awkward and ill-advised (in that what was said could and was misconstrued).  Nevertheless it was well received by the audience; so much so he was asked to deliver a further speech during the closing banquet.   A journalist attending the event tweeted a series of tweets denouncing what he'd said as sexist and misogynist, partially quoting the speech out of context and making two false claims.  A Twitter storm blew up and whilst flying home his reputation was effectively destroyed and he was forced to resign from several positions.  Subsequently the facts of what was said, what wasn't said came out but had little effect on the commentary that continued to be hostile, until the journalist Louise Mensch investigated it doggedly and demonstrated it to be untrue.  The accepted view in the literature now is that he was treated unfairly, he is neither sexist nor misogynist but definitely socially awkward and less than wordly.

This is very relevant to the RFC that is currently being run.
# A loaded question has been made about including a quote of what was said
# The edits proposed all make the false claim it was his speech that was denounced as sexist, which is untrue, what was denounced as sexist was based on false reporting.

I am extremely concerned by some of the commentary eg [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tim_Hunt&diff=prev&oldid=1204016425] {{tq|"I haven't gone down a rabbit hole over this because to me, he's just another misogynist who claims to be misunderstood."}}.  This to me indicate a closed mind, a refusal to accept in good faith that there are other possibilities and an unwillingness to listen to evidence that contradicts deeply held beliefs.  It seems that some editors have decided Tim Hunt is a sexist misogynist who should be labelled as such on his Wikipedia article.  It seems that editors have learned nothing about the damage that a disparaging Wikipedia biography can do and why we have BLP policies. Are we really in the business of pillorying a socially awkward scientist who has been an advocate for women in science?  '''8 years ago this affair nearly drove the poor man to suicide.'''

I have to commend Thomas B for his knowledge of the case and the willingness to stick his neck out for our BLP policies, he doesn't deserve the threat of blocks or page bans.  To my mind they are misdirected.  It seems that 3RR, ANI and various noticeboards are being abused to try and remove an obstacle rather than seek a consensus.

I have no problem with a BLP if it accurately reflects what actually happened but that is not what is happening here.  The talk page is toxic, with editors simply not listening or earnestly engaging with the consensus building process.  I've given up on trying.

My suggestion is to extend the page lock until editors propose a reasonable summary of what happened that all can agree on via [[WP:DRN]] - a very aposite suggestion. I fear that as soon as the page is unlocked, the edit war will recommence.  It certainly needs a good old [[WP:TROUT|trouting]] among all concerned.  Now rubber gloves and Mr Muscle<sup>TM</sup> beckon, I do hope more sensible heads like {{U|Elemimele}} prevail - I would also commend them for a very sensible contribution I can only apologise if your comments were drowned out.   <span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Wee Curry Monster|W]][[Special:contributions/Wee Curry Monster|C]][[User talk:Wee Curry Monster|M]]</span><sub>[[Special:EmailUser/Wee Curry Monster|email]]</sub> 16:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

:I said I would disengage from this and have, but that isn't a license to misleadingly quote me. I meant that I didn't want to engage in house to house combat over the entrenched establishment circling the wagon to defend the usual misogyny. Claims of being misunderstood are completely unsurprising.
:The dismissal of anyone who objects to the hagiography as ignorant is apparently being allowed to succeed here. Oh well, another day at Wikipedia.

That is the level of bad faith at play here. 

:The idea that anything less than a complete picture should be reported has been imputed to everyone who thinks that this should be discussed as anything but a terrible thing that happened to a good man. I think that failing a page block, dispute resolution is a pretty good idea, since presumably they won't allow all this mud-slinging.

* '''Support'''. I don't think the page protection has stopped the disruption, and I don't see any sign that TB recognizes that his conduct has been problematic. There are people above arguing that a sanction would be moot, but the ongoing conduct makes it clear that is not the case.

The repeated declarations that he'll be stepping back, followed by further bludgeoning and personalization, suggest that TB will continue to worsen the discourse in this dispute.

*::This is a misunderstanding.

::Do you understand what [[WP:DRN]] is for? It's not just a place to find a mediator for any conflict. It's specifically for resolving ''small'' content disputes ''where no other dispute resolution process is occurring''. Neither half of that is true because of the ongoing RFC.
::My personal guideline is that an RFC is more appropriate when the dispute is between a few relatively-concrete options, and [[WP:DRN]] is more appropriate for chaotic disputes where exact wordings themselves are hard to pin down.

== Led8000 on [[Talk:United States]] ==

After I saw Led8000 calling other editors "anti-intellectual" in [[Special:diff/1205595218|this post]], I wrote "Calling other editors "anti-intellectual" is insulting, uncivil, and inaccurate, and only serves to make other people discount your opinion and be more likely to insult you in return. Wikipedia policies require us to criticize ideas, not people, unless we're filing a report at WP:AN/I or other dispute mechanism." Instead of agreeing to follow these policies, Led8000 in response to this and some arguments about content called me "a very confused and misled power-hungry person" in [[Special:diff/1206091664|this post]]. I let that go and tried to refocus on sourcing and content. But then in another thread I see Led8000 advised another editor "Please assess your current state of mind. It seems to me that something is going on in your personal life currently, and you are very disgruntled emotionally." in [[Special:diff/1206828576|this post]]. I don't want to suppress anyone's point of view, and Led8000 has made ''some'' thoughtful contributions to the discussion, but this habit of insulting other editors in the conversation seems like it could easily and repeatedly derail what are delicate negotiations over wording in a politically charged article. Not to mention reduce participation by editors who just want to volunteer their assistance and not be attacked for expressing concerns or making suggestions. I see warnings all over the place that this is a contentious topic and best behavior is required. I'm not sure what generally happens in cases like this, if editors are typically admonished, or topic-banned, or what, so I'm asking about it here. And obviously leaving this up to uninvolved editors, considering I've been one of the targets of these demotivating attacks. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] ([[User talk:Beland|talk]]) 08:32, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

==  New articles about political scandals ==
I have submitted the article [[Draft:List of state political scandals in the United States]] which was rejected for being too long. So I shortened the article by breaking it in to fifty individual articles and reducing the contentof each and the number of references used. I then resubmitted. See example [[Draft:List of Oklahoma political scandals]], etc.   
  
These new articles were immediately accepted by an administrator and encouraged. This admin’s decision was then vigorously challenged by a few editors who caused him to reverse his original decision.  Each of the new, smaller articles was then rejected by the admin and these editors for being TOO LONG, and having DIFFERING TEMPLATES, BLP, RECENTISM, and ORGINAL RESEARCH.  I challenge their reasoning.
*Being TOO LONG is negated by [[Wikipedia:Special:Longpages]]. 
*DIFFERING TEMPLATES is addressed by Wikipedia:Citing sources:Citation style.  “Wikipedia does not have a single house style for reliable sources.”
*BLP violations are easily remedied by multiple references which were discouraged.
*RECENTISM and ORGINAL RESEARCH are such vague concepts as to be irrelevant. 

All these issues were discussed in full at [[Talk:List of federal political scandals in the United States]] an article in existence since 2004. 

I would ask that the reasons for acceptance/non acceptance be examined and the validity of the comments given for rejection be re-considered.  And finally, I draw your attention to [[:Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Marquis de la Eirron]] who has been mentioned on this subject before.[[User:Johnsagent|Johnsagent]] ([[User talk:Johnsagent|talk]]) 20:51, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

:{{nonadmin}} Admins have no special privileges in the determination of content matters. You should discuss this with the other editors involved.

:Lots of points to consider here:
:* The user who accepted the drafts, @[[User:WikiOriginal-9|WikiOriginal-9]], is not an administrator, although that shouldn't matter either way.
:* Your original draft article is as long as the longest of [[Special:LongPages]]. The issue is that this amount of text hits the limit in terms of templates able to be transcluded, meaning that some citation templates don't render at all.
:* "Not having a single house style" means that different citation styles in use, like [[Wikipedia:CS1]] and [[Wikipedia:CS2]] (used in most {{tl|Citation}} templates) are accepted. It doesn't mean that [[Wikipedia:Bare URLs]] like the ones you used are okay, as they are much less informative and at higher risk of link rot. Indeed, your AfC declining message mentions that {{tq|Links such as this <nowiki>[https://www.nydailynews.com]</nowiki> with no text should not be used.}}
:** It also doesn't mean that any possible way to cite information is accepted. As written in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Citations|Manual of Style]], {{tq|Text formatting in citations should follow, consistently within an <br>article, an established citation style or system. Options include either of Wikipedia's own template-based [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]] and [[Help:Citation Style 2|Citation Style 2]], and any other well-recognized citation system.}}
:* Your later individual drafts were not declined for being too long or for differing templates. Rather, [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Archive 56#"List of x state political scandals" drafts|as it was discussed here]], issues such as BLP violations, recentism and original research were indeed brought up. These are ''certainly not'' "such vague concepts as to be irrelevant", and indeed original research is highly discouraged on Wikipedia.
:** If there aren't reliable sources describing specific events as scandals, they shouldn't be labeled as such. That's also where the BLP violation comes in, even if the facts are supported by reliable sources (not any source is sufficient), commentary on the facts is not, and describing factual events as "scandals" is indeed a potential BLP violation if not supported by independent reliable sources.
:** The lead sections are definitely full of original research, using your own specific definition of scandal and asserting things such as {{tq|Breaking the law is always considered a scandal.}}
:In other terms, declining those drafts was absolutely justified, and I warmly invite you to rework them to remove original research, make the labeling of individual events as "scandal" in line with their descriptions in reliable sources rather than your own definition, and ask further question at the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse]] if you need any more information (trust me, it's a way calmer place than ANI).<br>Also, please don't vaguely hint at people being sockpuppets with no evidence — not only is it bad form to [[Wikipedia:Casting aspersions|cast aspersions]], but it also happens to be useless here as neither the declining users nor anyone involved in the discussions have been blocked as sockpuppets. If you have evidence of any of them actually being sockpuppets, please bring it at [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations]] rather than throwing an accusation here without supporting evidence.

== Gaelicbow ==

{{userlinks|Gaelicbow}}

Please look at:
# [[Special:History/McAnally‎]]
# [[Special:History/McNally (surname)‎]]
# [[Talk:McNally (surname)]]
# [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Archive 9#Supposedly conflicting etymologies & reliability of sources]]
#* This was responded to in the following way <small>(leading to an apparent consensus: [[Talk:McNally (surname)#Cont. 2]])</small>: [[Special:Diff/1146917780/1147175618|PamD's edits of March 2023]]; after that, however, there have been many more inscrutable removals and restorations.

Gaelicbow is apparently facing some dilemmas and is repeatedly restoring and self reverting content on [[McAnally‎]] and [[McNally (surname)]]. After multiple attempts I have stopped trying to fully understand his reasons for such edits. I request that an administrator blocks Gaelicbow from [[McAnally‎]] and [[McNally (surname)‎]], since text constantly appearing and disappearing in stroboscopic fashion can't possibly be a good thing for our readers. —[[User talk:Alalch E.|Alalch E.]] 12:11, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
*{{ping|PamD}} Do you have any thoughts on this matter?—[[User talk:Alalch E.|Alalch E.]] 13:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
*:@[[User:Alalch E.|Alalch E.]] I haven't the stamina to plough through all the changes made since I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=McNally_%28surname%29&diff=1147175618&oldid=1146917780 added] a paragraph of careful text citing three different highly reliable sources, but it's pretty upsetting to see that it has disappeared completely over the months. The current version of [[McNally (surname)]] has no references nor explanation of the name, is just a list of surname-holders, and the only sourced statement in [[McAnally]] is "McAnnally is a surname" (sourced to a 1923 work reproduced on a genealogy website), though it includes the unsourced (and cryptic) statement "The death of the eponym is recorded in the ''[[Annals of Clonmacnoise]]'' in 1316." so neither article makes any reference to my three sources.

*::Delving further into the previous discussions, I think I may not have noticed the "ping" on 22 April 2023, or perhaps felt I'd contributed enough with my researches. 
*::If authoritative sources have something to say about the surname origins, it is appropriate to include that in our Wikipedia article on the surname. Yes, most surname articles are lists of surname-holders only, but where there is sourced information and editors with the inclination to add it, it should be added. If the sources differ, we can say so. If there are other reliable sources with other things to say, then we can add those, well cited. But this looks as if content has been removed because Gaelicbow [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT|doesn't like it]], which is not a good reason to suppress the correctly-sourced work of other editors.
*::So it appears that Gaelicbow's editing here is disruptive, with a [[WP:OWN]] approach to the two articles, and that a topic ban from these and any related surnames might indeed be beneficial to the encyclopedia.

*:::I've been watching Gaelicbow's edits for a while (they keep showing up on my watchlist all over the place.) Their edits are disruptive, but on the low end of the scale. They don't give explanations for why they add or remove material, seems to be just personal preference rather than encyclopaedic reasons, and are terrible at referencing information. On multiple occasions after they've been warned and have been very actively engaged in disruptive behaviour, they've removed the warnings and stated that they were [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AGaelicbow&diff=1158537997&oldid=1158535843 "vandalism and/or irrelevant"] when they were clearly justified. I haven't had the energy to go further on it but it seems clear that their editing is of the "I don't like it" disruptive manner. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Blanche_Girouard This conversation] is extremely telling of their combative "I don't like it" mentality, and the only time they engage with other editors is in this manner.

Their focus has been to remove mention of Lindsay's promotion of the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_A._Lindsay&diff=prev&oldid=1195197022&title=James_A._Lindsay&diffonly=1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_A._Lindsay&diff=prev&oldid=1195203751&title=James_A._Lindsay&diffonly=1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_A._Lindsay&diff=prev&oldid=1195207058&title=James_A._Lindsay&diffonly=1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_A._Lindsay&diff=prev&oldid=1201431036&title=James_A._Lindsay&diffonly=1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_A._Lindsay&diff=prev&oldid=1203901839&title=James_A._Lindsay&diffonly=1]).

[[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 22:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
* One thing I want to point out here is that XMcan said, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1189499194&oldid=1189488433&title=Talk:Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory here], on [[Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory]], that it was {{tq|decade since us dinosaurs broached our concerns}} about that article (in a context where they were generally discussing, and showing familiarity with, decade-old Wikipedia disputes on that topic.) Yet XMcan's edit history has only five edits prior to December 2022, none on that topic. The dispute on that topic a decade ago involved a large number of [[WP:SPI]]s, throwaway accounts, and so on, many of whom ended up facing sanctions for the sort of behavior XMcan is exhibiting now; I suspect it's possible that XMcan is among that number and switched accounts to evade scrutiny. Their [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:XMcan&diff=prev&oldid=1189514825 response] when I asked them about this - which I think was a reasonable thing to ask, under the circumstances, in order to give them a chance to explain the discrepancy - was to deflect. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] ([[User talk:Aquillion|talk]]) 01:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

*:::::To give a different example of what I mean about the temporal issue, let's say an 18 year old, opposed to same-sex marriage says [[Barack Obama]] shares the same views as me! In that cases it's an even weirder statement since we actually know he doesn't. Yes when this person was about 2 years old, Obama may have said something similar about same-sex marriage. But by the time this person was about 7, Obama had already came out fully in favour of same-sex marriage [[Social policy of the Barack Obama administration#Same-sex marriage]]. So to get so excited about the fact their views matched at different points in time, is just odd. To be clear, I'm not aware Jimbo has expressed any differing views on the cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, it's not something I care about. I just find it odd you'd get so excited about something nearly 10 years old, when the world especially the US and Wikipedia, and I'm fairly sure Jimbo Wales has moved on a lot since then. For example, this was before Trump's presidency run and so before [[post-truth]], [[alternative facts]], [[fake news]] and the [[Intellectual dark web]] took on their modern realities in the US political environment. (For example, consider that [[Dave Rubin]] was still with the TYT at the time.) It was also at a time when [[Fox News]] caused some concerns but their news arm was often an acceptable source without question especially outside of politics and science since they hadn't yet gone all in with the election results denial angle.

*Responding to ping. XMcan, it's completely appropriate to call out an editor's behavior in a content dispute; that's not focussing on the messenger. It isn't inappropriate to ask about a statement you've made that implied you might be a returned editor using a new account. It's also completely appropriate for someone to bring what they in good faith believe is a behavior issue to ANI. 
:That said, at a BLP, continuing to argue against content when there's not clear consensus to include it is something we should encourage. Especially when it's at articles about US conservatives. We do in fact have a tendency to treat such subjects less neutrally.

*'''Question and comment''' Question: was the tban for a specific article or a topic.  If an editor is tbanned from article A then they aren't allowed to edit the article or the talk page.

Comment: I don't see any clear examples of problematic behavior at the BLP in question.  I do see an editor who perhaps should be more brief/selective in their replies but that is about it.  Certainly nothing that requires intervention or blocking based on what seem on the surface to be legitimate BLP concerns.

Both conspiracies, both led by jewish theorists, but one of them apparently isn't antisemitic because it doesn't blame Judaism. Also Jweiss11, I don't think that quote can be used in isolation. If it said something like "oppressor-versus-oppressed analytical dynamic utilized in Marxism proper is ''covertly'' re-appropriated out of the economic context and into the cultural context ''by it's adherents without the knowledge of the general public''" it would be more fitting, but that is something garnered from context.

::::::::Lindsay is not asserting that the "legitimate conspiracy" of cultural Marxists is led by Jewish theorists. While [[Karl Marx]] was ethnically Jewish, as were a majority of the core members of the [[Frankfurt School]], their Jewishness was orthogonal to their ideas and beliefs, and, more importantly, those advocating for culturally Marxist principles and policies in the current era are not overwhelmingly Jewish. He would point to thought leaders like [[Kimberlé Crenshaw]], [[Richard Delgado]], [[Tim Wise]], [[Robin DiAngelo]], [[Ta-Nehisi Coates]], and [[Ibram X. Kendi]]. I don't believe any of those individuals happen to be Jewish in any way, ethnically or religiously. Also, the extent to which the efforts of such people can be considered a "conspiracy" is questionable. Is every political project involving more than one person a conspiracy? Any political campaign for public office is going to involve two or more people coordinating their efforts in service of private, often secret, strategies.

So I once again caught the bilateral relations troll trying to make junk edits to see also sections... but this time, not bilateral relations pages, but rather "X in country" articles. IPs I've reverted so far are [[Special:Contributions/50.48.224.60|50.48.224.60]], [[Special:Contributions/50.48.236.154|50.48.236.154]] and [[Special:Contributions/45.53.108.230|45.53.108.230]].

== WP:BLP and admin involvement ==


There is an [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Harold E. Puthoff|ongoing BLPVIO]] that have a large number of people, potentially including admins. {{user|Doug Weller}} for example warned me for 3RR while the other editor did ''four reverts'' and the admin can be seen coordinating with them. In addition, I think I was temporarily blocked but I don't see anything in the logs? This is [[WP:BLP]] territory with potential INVOLVED admins that needs other admins to investigate.

:::::{{replyto|Cullen328|int21h}}, I'm sure int21h was blocked recently, they're just confused over the details. [[User:Doug Weller]] did block [[Special:Contributions/89.10.174.232]] for 72 hours [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3A89.10.174.232]. int21h if that was you, you're not allowed to use an IP to make edits in the same dispute per [[WP:LOUTSOCK]]. The editing patterns makes it hard for me to imagine this was an accident but in any case even if it was an accident you are responsible for any edits you make be they with an account or IP so pay attention to whether you're logged in or not. Note that it was an anon only and account creation block. So this block would not have affected any editing from your account, so you would have only seen that you were blocked when you tried to edit from the IP (or make a new account). If you want to continue to edit from your phone or tablet or whatever that IP is using, please log in to your int21h account.

::::::Thanks.

Ironic that of my two edits there, one reverted the IP back to Int21h's version. The other was my reverting the IP whose edit summary said fixed typo while, as the later IP edit, changed "pseudoscience" to "science". I would like Int21h to justify their claim that there is a BLP violation in the removal of their edits. My view is that this is likely to end up, and probably should, with at least a partial block for promoting pseudoscience. Or at AE, I gave them an alert a few days ago.

[[User talk:Jcheckler]] contains some extraordinary content and attacks on {{u|Doug Weller}} and myself, posted today. The post is a response to a [[Special:Diff/1202955337|warning from myself 12 days ago]], where I asked the user to stop misusing talkpages and boards for political speech about things like the "{{tq|Communist Total Enslavement Agenda against Humanity}}", or Wikipedia being an "{{tq|untrustworthy bastion of special interest Leftism/ Liberalism/ neo-Marxism}}". I also called them out for antisemitic [[Dog whistle (politics)|dogwhistles]] about the Rothschild family, international bankers, and "globalists". Their reply today states that, on the contrary, politics and religion ought to be discussed anywhere and everywhere at all times. Wikipedia has become "{{tq|a Political, Religious and Ideological Bastion of Anti-American/ Anti-Human neo-Marxist Propaganda due to the Censorship of so-called power hungry authoritarian leftist "Administrators" who want to enforce their Agenda on Society as "Reliable Source" referenced fact}}". Specifically, Doug's userpage and mine, with their "{{tq|juvenile authoritarian nutcase bizzare radical content}}" show our "{{tq|brainwashed irrational immaturity}}". In fact, the two of us are probably the same person. When I warned Jcheckler a couple of weeks ago, I had doubts about their being here to build an encyclopedia; now I have more.

Odd thing here is their editing history doesn't show any evidence of this. Has the editor just had a change of how they edit? Have they been hacked? It's rather odd to come back after a 6 month break and launch into long rants and accusations. They've only edited talk pages and went right to particular people and boards. They've barely used a talk page before this so it's very different behaviour from their previous edits.

== User:Bobbylonardo not providing edit summaries, questionable edits ==

[[User:Bobbylonardo]] was created on September 10, 2023; their first 5 months as a Wikipedia editor have included nearly 2,000 edits, most of which are creations of redirects, additions of categories, or other minor and constructive revisions to the encyclopedia. I bring them up here because of a few concerning behavioral patterns:

# They have '''never''' added an originally written edit summary to any of their edits, even after being asked on three separate occasions, by three different editors, including myself ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobbylonardo&diff=prev&oldid=1199341791 1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobbylonardo&diff=prev&oldid=1204124846 2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobbylonardo&diff=prev&oldid=1204633310 3]), to do so
# They have added and removed the "Featured article" icon to several articles without following the procedure to do so (additions: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Law_%26_Order&diff=prev&oldid=1206162630 1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Law_%26_Order:_Special_Victims_Unit&diff=prev&oldid=1206162638 2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Law_%26_Order:_Criminal_Intent&diff=prev&oldid=1206162633 3] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Law_%26_Order:_Organized_Crime&diff=prev&oldid=1206162641 4] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NCIS_(TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1206162756 5] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Accused_(2023_TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1206163971 6] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gabby%27s_Dollhouse&diff=prev&oldid=1206164036 7] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stumptown_(TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1206164109 8] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FBI_(TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1206164348 9] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FBI:_International&diff=prev&oldid=1206164355 10] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FBI:_Most_Wanted&diff=prev&oldid=1206164357 11])
# They have, on at least two occasions ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lyla_in_the_Loop&oldid=1203893113 1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobbylonardo&diff=prev&oldid=1206168139 2]), added material to a talk page with the signature of another user.
# They have been warned twice, by the same editor ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobbylonardo&diff=prev&oldid=1191637406 1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobbylonardo&diff=prev&oldid=1204740070 2]), about their additions of copyrighted content to an article about a television series. They have already been blocked once, on January 27, 2024, for "persistent addition of unsourced content". 

I believe that this user can be a productive and effective contributor to Wikipedia, and at the same time I am very concerned about their repeated failure to take any kind of feedback from the community, or to abide by the community's standards for edit summaries and cited information. [[User:White 720|White 720]] ([[User talk:White 720|talk]]) 23:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

== Multiple Admins lied to me and should be sanctioned for bad behavior ==
{{Atop|IP blocked. The thread should have been removed as well, but one can't have everything.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 14:01, 14 February 2024 (UTC)}}
{{collapse top|Rant.}}
I was the ip on [[User talk:166.216.158.52|this talk page]] and said ip was blocked. I was very appalled with the unprofessional way that the users on that talk page conducted themselves. So now that my ip block has been lifted, I want to file a complaint on the matter and call for the users involved to be sanctioned. All of the conduct I will cite below from these users can be found on that talk page.

My first complaint is that [[User:OhNoitsJamie]] and [[User:Yamla]] blatantly lied to me. My ip was banned from Wikipedia for 5 months, and yet both of them claimed that there was no block on my account. They were clearly on a power trip by making up this easy to debunk and obviously false lie. They clearly just did not want to deal with my legitimate critiques of that unjust block, so they tried to gaslight me. Shame on them. That behavior is unacceptable and is clearly worthy of sanction on its own. 

Then [[User:Deepfriedokra]] made a comment on the talk page where they essentially admitted that I was blocked, and they said that I should not be unblocked because I had made bad edits on the Pewdiepie page. This was a complete lie, I had made no previous edits at all to the PewDiePie page, no such edits would have shown up on my account history. So I had 2 users claiming I was not blocked, and one other admitting that I was but saying I shouldn’t be unblocked for a completely fabricated reason. It was obvious that all 3 users involved just did not want to deal with my legitimate critiques of the block. They clearly viewed me, as an ip editor, to be inferior and not worth dealing with in good faith. This behavior was absolutely disgraceful on their parts. 

Then [[User:Gaelan]] responded on the page and again falsely claimed that I was not blocked. I responded to them explaining how they were wrong. Then Yamla decided that they were just no longer interested in dealing with me at all. So he then claimed that although I “wasn’t blocked before” I now was due to my ip address apparently being a proxy. In reality, my ip was not a proxy. I was using regular mobile data on my phone. Sometimes mobile data connections can be false flagged as proxies on those online checkers, but that was of no concern to Gaelan. He just wanted me gone, so he made up a flimsy excuse to penalize me. He also claimed that my talk page was filled with rampant abuse and copyright violations. This was another extremely flimsy excuse. I had made some mistakes on the talk page, but all of those edits were already undone and I had apologized and stated I would not do that again. And it was all on my own talk page, I was not vandalizing anything. Since that issue was already resolved, it’s clear that was not a good reason to have me blocked and was just another flimsy excuse. Again, these admins just didn’t want to deal with an ip editor. They wanted me gone.

I then filed a long unblock request, where I thoroughly explained that I had learned my lessons with the talk page abuse and clearly stated that I would never do that again, and I explained that I was not using a proxy. [[User:Berean Hunter]] decided not to remotely engage with any of my arguments, and instead just said that “You are the disruptive editor on this range. Silence is golden and you need some quiet time to reflect on what you have done. TPA revoked.”
So, after I gave a unblock request addressing every reason given for my block, Berean Hunter responded by just blocking me for longer and revoking my talk page access. For no reason at all. After the tpa restriction was lifted, I asked Berean Hunter clarifying questions about the block. They completely ignored me. Once again, I was a mere ip user they didn’t care about. Of course they had no desire to deal with me. 

So, my request is that {{reply to|OhNoitsJamie|Yamla|Deepfriedokra|Gaelan|Berean Hunter}} all be blocked from Wikipedia for 5 months, the same amount of time my ip was wrongly blocked for. They blatantly lied to me and ignored my fair reasoning and requests I gave. They showed utter contempt for ip editors in the way that treated me. Since they wanted me unfairly blocked for 5 months, it’s only fair that these people all be blocked for 5 months in return. I very much hope getting a taste of what they have subjected ip editors to will help them learn to treat ip editors with actual fairness and respect in the future.

*{{user3|山登 太郎}}
This user seems to be causing some problems with articles about paleontology.
* Being single purpose account: All of the their edits are mostly about [[Satoshi Utsunomiya]], a Japanese science writer and paleontologist. [[Satsuma-utsunomiya-ryu]], [[Satsumayokuryu]] and [[Draft:Satsumamukashiumigame]] are all his discoveries. It looks like this is just promoting him.
* Machine (AI-using?) translation: Additionally, these pages are all machine translations of Japanese Wikipedia pages by the same user, probably using a GPT-type service. This results in disjointed content and mistranslations of researchers' names. (For example, Yasuhisa Nakajima is mistranslated as "Yasutoshi" or "Hoju")
* Reverting articles: Nevertheless, this user seems to have a tendency to revert to his version when his page is edited. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Satsuma-utsunomiya-ryu&oldid=1207530810] Similar behavior was seen on the Japanese version of Wikipedia.[https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E5%AE%87%E9%83%BD%E5%AE%AE%E8%81%A1&oldid=99261863]

*In the Japanese version of Wikipedia, they caused problems such as deleting page maintenance templates, altering/removing other user's comments, and posting articles in other languages to Japanese Wikipedia.[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85%E2%80%90%E4%BC%9A%E8%A9%B1:%E5%B1%B1%E7%99%BB_%E5%A4%AA%E9%83%8E]
For the above reasons, I believe that some treatment should be taken against this user.

User was given a 1RR restriction when unblocked a month ago at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive358#Unblock/unban request from Phrasia]], and has restored the same content (a list of songs sourced to fansite ddrfreak.com) twice to [[Music of Dance Dance Revolution]] today. [[User:Belbury|Belbury]] ([[User talk:Belbury|talk]]) 10:32, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
**Just to give my side of the situation, to my knowledge, the restriction was not breached. The restriction is geared towards edit-warring, which isn't the case. It is a list article, and the article is very much incomplete/missing content (there is even a template notice which I didn't even add mind you, which explains this). Dance Dance Revolution is a complex subject, (there are thousands of songs that were featured in the series, and that's just the Arcade/amusement side of it, not to mention console and home releases and other event editions such as Disney versions etc.) It seems fan sites, video game blogs, message boards aren't reliable sources. However, maybe an exception should be made, because a similar series [[List of Pump It Up songs|Pump It Up]] has sources from music game fan sites. etc. I did one revert, and that is my only revert, and if my edit was reverted again, then so be it. I'm now looking into getting further help, so my contributions are included on that article, if there is still controversy/discrepancies (which I mentioned on the articles talk page). Thank you.

**:[[Special:Diff/1207251133|This first edit]] could also be understood as a revert, as, even if some parts were technically slightly different, you brought back the vast majority of what the previous editor removed. This, along with [[Special:Diff/1207254658|your unambiguous revert]] bringing back the same content minutes later, could be seen as breaking the 1RR.

== My edits are always reverted in List of X-Men members page. ==

My username is @[[User:Ringardiumleviossa|Ringardiumleviossa]] and I am here to seek advice and do complaint regarding an incident. I have been trying to edit [[List of X-Men members]] page from last week but one @[[User:hotwiki|hotwiki]] keeps reverting it. I gave all the reasons and I even backed off when I was informed of the certain rules. I "indirectly" got to know that every single of my edits need a refences or talk discussion even if it is a grammatical correction edit (while others don't). And I was made to talk in talk page for even editing a grammatical mistake. I was made to ask to consensus in the talk page for my reverted edit, where mostly this editor decides what is going to be in the page and what not. And whenever I mentioned them, they started calling that I am personally attacking them, by simply mentioning what is happening? Please see/read this [[Talk:List of X-Men members#Captain Krakoa|Captain Krakoa]] and [[Talk:List of X-Men members#Proposal to change a lot of things in the list of X-Men members.|Proposal to change a lot of things in the list of X-Men members]]. These talks are effecting negatively to me as because of that, I left editing for a day but now I am on the verge of leaving Wikipedia.

:You were reverted simply because of unreferenced edits. You made a dozen of edits in that article without leaving a reference in the article. The article is already tagged for needing reliable sources in the first place. Then when Ringardiumleviossa was asked to provide a reference - their immediate response was "look up the Wikipedia article of those articles". How is that complying to Wikipedia rules about posting reliables. Then questioned me in the talk page of the article, if they should always add references whenever they make an edit (such as adding "nicknames").

::::I would like inform that a lot from Ringardiumleviossa's proposal in the talk page ([[Talk:List of X-Men members]]) were implemented in the article ([[List of X-Men members]] in the past few days, such as adding nicknames to characters, making sub sections, Wikipedia links to comic book titles, etc. So its not true, that the user's changes were simply reverted and discarded. I personally took my time to read the editors' long proposal in the talkpage. Out of all the members that were pinged by the editor, I was one of the only two editors who responded to the editor's proposal. The things I agreed with, were discussed and later implemented in that article. When Ringardiumleviossa asked me directly (in the talkpage of List of X-Men members) to remove certain things (such removing characters), I communicated back and removed those certain things per the editor's request in the talkpage. So its not true that the editor's edits were just simply reverted. A lot of recent changes that remain in the article, came from Ringardiumleviossa's proposal in the talkpage, which went to extensive discussion between me and that editor.

:A lot of this is an content dispute, and this is an area that focuses on ''behavior'' not arbitrating what content is preferable. While there can be a lot of problems with making significant changes on an article with a lot of vested contributors, you also proposed a huge list of things and gave very little time for a discussion, so I can understand editors like @[[User:Hotwiki|Hotwiki]] getting annoyed. And some of the changes have problems, like introducing a whole bunch of [[MOS:QUOTENAME]] awkwardness into the mix. Not all the arguments that you've made have been helpful, either; you got testy ''very'' quickly about being asked for sources, for example, and did not always react well to pushback. It's not helpful in a conversation to in multiple places directly or indirectly declare that the discussion and the page aren't worth your time.
:I know you're making a good faith effort to improve this page, but it would be helpful to take the temeprature down a notch. There are no deadlines here and you proposed a ''lot'' of massive changes on a mature, stable page. I would suggest taking a break from this area, and if you're still interested in improving the page, focus on a smaller number of well-sourced edits, rather than a wholesale restructuring that doesn't have support.

== Disruptive editing of disambiguation pages ==

{{re|NmWTfs85lXusaybq}} has been engaged in the mass "drive-by" tagging of disambiguation pages. I was prepared to accept this as in good faith, but recent events indicate that it is not, and the editor is not listening to advice. As context, in November 2023 the editor tagged hundreds of pages that he had found with a report, tagging them {{tl|One other topic}}: there are 687 left in [[:Category:Disambiguation pages containing one non-primary topic from November 2023]]. This is all very well but was done indiscriminately without regard to what a better alternative might be. Most of my editing (hundreds of edits) in Dec 23/Jan 24 has been going through these pages and cleaning up dozens of these pages and removing the tags. I'd say about 75% were tagged legitimately as pages that could be deleted, the others should have been improved, not tagged. I reverted only two cases, discussed at [[User talk:NmWTfs85lXusaybq#Edit reverts]], a discussion I decided to walk away from. So far so good, and not actually disruptive.  

The editor then set about redirecting hundreds of disambiguation pages that contain two entries, but one of which is a redlink. This has created dozens of problems and at my rate of progress it will take months to resolve. {{re|AllTheUsernamesAreInUse}} notified me of a list of such edits: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/NmWTfs85lXusaybq&target=NmWTfs85lXusaybq&offset=20231201104231&limit=100]. Among the issues are:
* The blanking and redirect of [[WP:SIA]]s and  {{tl|shipindex}} pages are incorrect because these pages are not disambiguation pages. I have not had time to go through them, but from the contributions above, those that involve the names of ships are wrong and need to be reverted. A selection: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1187782749&oldid=1050771828&title=USS_Ely], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1187782803&oldid=1062294025&title=SS_Tung_An], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1187782615&oldid=1122979572&title=SS_Malm%C3%B6]. All of this is disruptive and will take time to manually revert if that is appropriate.
* The blanking and redirect of pages "Foo" citing [[WP:PRIMARYRED]] has left behind dozens of cases where there were incoming redirects of the form "Foo (disambiguation)". Dozens of the entries at the report here [[User:RussBot/Non-disambiguation redirects/001|here]] are caused by NmWTfs85lXusaybq redirecting a page but not tagging the incoming redirect as [[WP:G14]].  Not in itself disruptive, but deleting my note on their Talk page here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207524951&oldid=1207384586&title=User_talk:NmWTfs85lXusaybq] indicates bad faith.
* In many cases where a page had two entries, one blue link and one redlink, NmWTfs85lXusaybq has blanked and redirected to the blue link. This doesn't necessarily improve the encyclopedia because it deletes entries which with some improvement are legitimate. In many of these case I have reverted, and instead improved the page by finding a blue link to match the redlink. One egregious case is [[Tullycarnan]]. It is blanked and redirected here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1187769524&oldid=933221130&title=Tullycarnan] to [[Tullycarnan (Ardglass)]]. This in itself is wrong because if there were only one Tullycarnan, [[Tullycarnan (Ardglass)]] should have been moved to "Tullycarnan". It's also wrong because the associated incoming redirect [[Tullycarnan (disambiguation)]] was not tagged G14, and so a bot erroneously redtargeted it to [[Tullycarnan (Ardglass)]]. I come along, revert the blank and redirect, and improve the page here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1205397148&oldid=1205396226&title=Tullycarnan] by finding a blue link to accompany the redlink. My efforts are rewarded by a revert [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207541318&oldid=1205397148&title=Tullycarnan]. There might be a primary topic, but the situation is now doubly wrong: [[Tullycarnan (Ardglass)]] is at the wrong title, and there is no hatnote or indication of the existence of "[[Tullycarnan (Witter)]], a townland in [[Witter (civil parish)]] in County Down, Northern Ireland". My edits to other pages, which I consider improve pages rather than blanking and redirecting them, have been reverted: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207546530&oldid=1205900099&title=Wabern_railway_station], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207546163&oldid=1205878145&title=Vandhoo], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207545731&oldid=1207424527&title=Toledo_Public_Library], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207545127&oldid=1206299588&title=Si_Prefecture], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207545020&oldid=1206295040&title=Shumka], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207544652&oldid=1206193973&title=Shintomich%C5%8D_Station], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207543427&oldid=1205886227&title=Visoka_Polyana], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207542915&oldid=1206155118&title=Ward_Mountain], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207542251&oldid=1206185332&title=Western_Times], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207526683&oldid=1207450214&title=Traian_St%C4%83nescu], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1207526199&oldid=1207447319&title=Torsten_M%C3%BCller]

A third party may consider, as I do, that these latest reverts are ill-considered and consistent with an attitude of mass-tagging without properly thinking through and following up actions. 

All of this seems like gnomery, and I've learned how to do it properly over many years. I have tried discussing with NmWTfs85lXusaybq but twice my Talk page comments have been blanked. I am now of the opinion that they won't listen to me and, on the whole, this editor's mass tagging of pages is not making the encyclopedia better. 

Perhaps I should try harder to communicate, but I prefer to spend my time editing rather than dramatising, and this editor isn't listening. What would I like? An independent review of those latest edit reverts, and for this editor to slow down, stop mass tagging, and instead apply a tag only where it makes the encyclopedia better and the page cannot be otherwise improved.

*As I'm mentioned above, note my involvement on [[Stardew]] was part of New Pages Patrol, where it had showed up.

*::I'm not interested a bit in technical stuff and in "Wiki trials", but {{u|NmWTfs85lXusaybq}} has edited in a haughty manner that has unnecessarily created lots of waste of time for me among several fellow editors. I mean [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Horon&diff=prev&oldid=1207112686&title=Horon&diffonly=1 this move here] - no explanation, no ping, no arguments. N.B.: I did of course offer an explanation in the edit summary for my own move when I made it, and editor {{u|Aintabli}}, who is very familiar with the topic and the region, has went along and just added parantheses ("Horon dance" becoming "Horon (dance)"). NmW... then went on to practically set the stage for the removal of [[Horon (disambiguation)]] by decreeing [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Horon_(disambiguation)&diff=prev&oldid=1207112148&title=Horon_%28disambiguation%29&diffonly=1 here] the dance to be the primary topic - again: no ping, no arguments, just stating it's a "cleanup per MOS:DAB" - and then slapping a "one other topic" tag on it. It's like in the joke with the cowboy who shoots everybody at a wedding and then asks the bride: "All by yourself, pretty lady?" There is imho NO self-evident reason why a deity whose name shows up in the Bible should be a lesser topic than a dance from northern Turkey, but that can be discussed, of course if allowed by NmW. I managed to fix it, but it was a clear waste of time better used elsewhere, as is this whole message here. To me it looks like NmW is on an unrestrained crusade, my way or the highway, focused on one narrow aspect, w/o accepting the basic superior principle of "making Wiki better", nor of discussing rather than making all by himself final pronouncements based on little or nothing.

*::::Hi, I don't want to comment on anything related to behavior but just wanted to correct something. That article was actually titled "Horon (dance)" for quite some time until "I" requested its renaming to "Horon" at [[WP:RMT]] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Horon&diff=prev&oldid=1189359071 December last year]. A few days ago (exactly 2 months later), Arminden readded "dance" (the disambiguator), because [[Hauron]] is commonly spelled as "Horon", which I was initially unaware of. And then, I have readded the parentheses. Overall, this was kind of a revert of the initial move I requested back in December which removed the disambiguator. There wasn't a thorough discussion about the primary topic. I hope this clarifies the possible misunderstanding at least partially.

*::::::It will probably be moved to the contested requests section given that it has been moved for multiple times and there is an apparent dispute here.

*{{u|NmWTfs85lXusaybq}}, those discussions weren't exactly widely attended, so they are not at all convincing that this is with consensus. I'm not taking a side on whether or not they ''should'' have been made, I'm just saying there is cause for alarm here.  That doesn't address one concern I have, which is the speed of which you are making changes.  What tools are you using?  I asked this before, but you didn't say.  And if you ARE making edits against consensus, this would be a worse problem, as you are doing it at breakneck speed.  You have racked up a lot of edits in the short time that you have been at Wikipedia, which makes it very time consuming to check your activities.

{{userlinks|NorthCheam}}

This user has been vandalising, inserting POV, and adding unsourced content across several articles, despite warnings to stop. 

I first noticed when they vandalised the article for the founder of Parkrun, [[Paul Sinton-Hewitt]], by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paul%20Sinton-Hewitt&diff=prev&oldid=1205150083 changing his name to Andrew Tate]. They then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paul_Sinton-Hewitt&diff=prev&oldid=1205484700 left an edit summary saying "bring back the Parkrun statistics"]. For context, Parkrun has recently removed some statistics from their website, which this user is clearly agitated about.

Following this, they then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parkrun&diff=prev&oldid=1204926345 introduced unsourced POV on [[Parkrun<nowiki>]]</nowiki> by stating that Parkrun had removed the statistics "without consulting participants" and that the move was "widely condemned", all without a source.] 

A discussion ensued on the Parkrun talk page about the suitability of mentioning a petition about the issue. NorthCheam engaged in the discussion, but prosecuted their opinion in the edit summaries of their replies, and when editing the main article as well. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parkrun&diff=prev&oldid=1204926345 In one diff], they left the edit summary ''The petition now up to 15000. Bring back the stats parkrun. God bless parkrun volunteers and participants. Peace and love''. When [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Parkrun&diff=prev&oldid=1207709462 replying on the talk page], they replied with ''My aim is not to vanadlize but to put in the (well referenced) major story.'', but left as the edit summary ''Clarification. Bring Back the Stats. Parkrun HQ (salaried team) did it without consulting event directors or runner on the proposed changes. Claimed it was for inclusion reasons even though no one complained about the statistics according to Paul Sinton Hewitt''. This is a disconnect between saying they are only acting to put in notable content, but then clearly prosecuting their own POV in edit summaries. 

NorthCheam has also left unsourced inappropriate POV on other articles. On the [[A219 road]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A219%20road&diff=prev&oldid=1199530638 in this diff], they added text about the speed limit, saying it was "''a ridiculously low 20 mph (after being 40 15 years ago),''. 

Most recently, they disruptively edited [[Andrew Tate]], changing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Tate&diff=prev&oldid=1207712278 "criticism" to "strong praise" in the lead.] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew%20Tate&diff=prev&oldid=1207712548 They then made it even worse], changing their own edit to "''strong praise from an enormously wide array of advocacy groups, parents, teachers and world leaders.''".

== IP editor - Repeated use of bare URLs, use of fake citation titles and lack of communication ==

I'm reporting {{userlinks|80.192.53.153}} because honestly I'm at a loss with this IP... they have been providing useful edits for a while under a couple of different IPs (which is of course normal), but have consistently either used bare URLs for citations and other times made up fake titles for sources... examples are below. I've tried multiple times, from November 2023 to today, to engage this user on their talk page, but have not once received any kind of acknowledgement. They have only once left a message on my talk page, about an unrelated issue - and I prompted them to read their messages on their talk page... but nothing has happened. Is there something that can be done to get this user to communicate, instead of other users having to tidy up their edits every time?

Bare URLs:
* {{diff2|1197462140}} - bare URL with title "6435 gets new owner", requiring manual removal before a bot like ReFill2 can be used
* {{diff2|1199384307}} and {{diff2|1199382501}} - both bare URLs with custom title, again requiring manual intervention instead of a bot
* {{diff2|1198060180}} - Again, bare URL with title

Examples of fake titles:
* {{diff2|1206652752}} - IP used "45690 to visit EOR" when the article [https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2024/02/jubilee-locomotive-to-visit-essex-heritage-railway-this-spring.html linked] was titled "Steam locomotive changes at Vintage Trains as growth plans announced"
* {{diff2|1198120757}} - IP used "5593 On sale" with an article [https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2024/01/steam-locomotive-changes-at-vintage-trains-as-growth-plans-announced.html titled] "Steam locomotive changes at Vintage Trains as growth plans announced". They also used this in another article with the titles {{diff2|1205088534|"5593 On sale" and "7760 On sale"}}, and another with the title {{diff2|1198123497|"7760 On sale"}}.

In my eyes this is more a lack of communication than a behavioural issue - I would be more than happy to show the user how to easily add citations properly, but I can't seem to get through...

::Just to prevent LCSB archiving the discussion before someone is able to weigh in [[User:Danners430|Danners430]] ([[User talk:Danners430|talk]]) 17:26, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Danners430|Danners430]], bare URLs have some problems, but adding them isn't actually a violation of any policy or guideline.  Editors, especially inexperienced editors, need to do their best.  Sometimes their best is a bare URL.  [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] says that "what matters most is that you provide enough information to identify the source. Others will improve the formatting if needed."  If you don't personally [[WP:VOLUNTEER]] to be one of those "others", then that's 100% okay, but this is our standing offer to editors:  Do your best to tell us what the source is, and we'll help.  Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and that means we help each other out. 
:::(Also, the first diff isn't a bare URL.  Perhaps you pasted the wrong diff there?) [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 05:57, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
::::That’s fair… I understand if it’s not against policy, that’s just how things are - is there a way to get them to engage and respond to messages left on their talk page? I was under the assumption that WP:COMMUNICATION was a policy.
::::Also, where do we stand on the fake titles? [[User:Danners430|Danners430]] ([[User talk:Danners430|talk]]) 08:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::Fake titles are a bit complicated, because sometimes you see one headline in the news app, a different one on the website, and the title displayed on the webpage is different from the one displayed at the top of the tab/in the HTML.  And that's assuming the website doesn't change the title.  So sometimes what looks like a fake title isn't actually fake.  
:::::That said, these particular titles feel to me (subjectively, based on my own experience) like something that was just a simple description made up by an editor.  Although one might be able to [[Wikipedia:Wikilawyering|argue]] that they are what [[Wikipedia:Further reading]] describes as "brief notes about the sources" (which "may be helpful"), we don't usually encourage people to make up descriptions ''instead of'' pasting in a real page title.  The page title is far more useful for combating link rot than a made-up description.
:::::[[WP:COMMUNICATION]] is, as the tag says at the top of the page, an essay.  But it's still a good idea. [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 18:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::What can be done then? Editors are constantly having to tidy up after this user, and they consistently ignore any and all attempts to communicate… how is this a user that’s participating constructively? [[User:Danners430|Danners430]] ([[User talk:Danners430|talk]]) 20:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::"Constantly tidying up after each other" is what it means to volunteer in a collaborative project.  If this particular bit of tidying up irritates you, then leave it for someone else.
:::::::Of course it's frustrating when you think that a quick message would change their behavior into something more convenient.  But sometimes I think that what we get is already the best people can realistically do.  Someone who can't figure out how to talk to us (something that took you eight years?  Your first edit was in September 2012, and your first edit to a Talk: page was in December 2020) is not necessarily someone who's going to be able to handle complex formatting. [[User:WhatamIdoing|WhatamIdoing]] ([[User talk:WhatamIdoing|talk]]) 03:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::I see your point, and very much understood… it’s not necessarily annoying for me to make these edits to improve the cites, the annoyance is just the lack of communication. I do see your point about user ability though. Life goes on :) [[User:Danners430|Danners430]] ([[User talk:Danners430|talk]]) 08:19, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

'''''[[User:LilianaUwU|<span style="font-family:default;color:#246BCE;">Liliana</span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:#FF1493;">UwU</span>]]''''' <sup>([[User talk:LilianaUwU|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/LilianaUwU|contributions]])</sup> 06:31, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''Support'''. Upon reading the diffs and thread, I'm seeing what LilianaUwU means about disruptive behavior. The behavior seems contrary to the purposes of the project. [[User:P-Makoto|P-Makoto (she/her)]] ([[User talk:P-Makoto|talk]]) 06:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' Tampering with votes is disruptive (senseless votes should be ignored, not removed). If all involved simply ignored the lone oppose vote, there would have been no drama in the first place. [[User:Pavlor|Pavlor]] ([[User talk:Pavlor|talk]]) 07:09, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''Oppose'''. Lightburst's conduct has been less than ideal and I hope they take heed of this before sanctions become inevitable. But casting unpopular !votes is not in itself disruptive. I believe that [[WP:Thank you for your vote]] should be standard practice and that violating it is far more disruptive than protesting its violation. Oppose-badgering is the most disruptive thing that happens in a typical RfA. [[User:Thebiguglyalien|<span style="color: darkgreen">''Thebiguglyalien''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Thebiguglyalien|<span style="color: sienna">talk</span>]])</small> 07:15, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''Support''' The RfA vote in question was not based on sincere concerns about the actual candidate's fitness to serve, but was rather a pointy protest vote that functioned only to get people further riled up. It also served to draw more attention to an evidence free (so far) personal attack on the candidate, giving the nasty aspersions undeserved credibility. That vote was either trolling or the functional equivalent of trolling. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 07:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''Oppose:''' I agree that this conduct has been less than ideal, but c'mon, folks: RfA has been broken for twenty years, and people have been allowed to get away with far more disruptive and specious voting over long periods of time (Kurt Weber, anyone?).  Beyond that, stop and think here: are we really analyzing an editor's voting record to ensure they're doing so for the "right" reasons, and place restrictions on them if we don't like what they have to say? [[User talk:Ravenswing|'''<span style="background:#2B22AA;color:#E285FF"> '' Ravenswing '' </span>''' ]]   08:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' TBAN. I see this similar to Thebiguglyalien and Ravenswing. Disagreeing with an admins/bureaucrats decision isn't against policy. And their vote is just 1 out of 250. If you want to warn them for tampering with the vote and for the language they used, sure. But their votes are fine.

*'''Oppose''' - the behaviour is disruptive but did not brake the system.

*'''Comment''' if anyone should/have been sanctioned, it's {{u|Homeostasis07}} who made the original unfounded allegation of one of the worst thoingbs an editor can do, and then lied about having evidence. For various reasons (mainly due to only a minority of crats having the resolve to do anything about it, while others seemingly believe either that was acceptable behaviour or that it's not their job (!!!)),  Homeostasis07 has, of yet, received no sanction at all and yet created the drama in the first place. So those who posted because of it can hardly receive a greater sanction, whatever they may/may not have done in the past.

*'''Oppose''' per above. I really couldn't care if they threaten to move to oppose: there are already over 225 supports.

*'''Oppose''' but agree with Serial that Homeostasis should have received a sanction, and that the ability to make such accusations without evidence or consequences is one of the reason why RfAs are the hellscape they are today.

*'''Oppose''' Lightburst has been vocal about (known) issues with the RfA process, and also been concerned about striking of votes. (In the latest example, Amanda could have struck the aspersions, warned the editor, and left the actual vote.  And we wouldn't have had this blow up quite so much). I see no need for a ban.

== Proposed blocking of User:Ілля_Криворучко ==
{{Archive top|result=Looks like this discussion has reached a conclusion with the complaint withdrawn. Might I add that an editor should get AT LEAST an hour after they have stopped editing a new article. Draftifying or tagging for deletion a newly created article minutes after it was started is inappropriate unless there are BLP violations or copyright violations or it otherwise violates policies like being an attack page. Listen to S0091's advice, it is sound. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 04:42, 17 February 2024 (UTC)}}
*{{userlinks|Ілля_Криворучко}}

On [[User talk:Ілля Криворучко|their talk page]],  – there is a pattern of articles being moved to the draft space among other disruptive work. They were also [[User talk:Ілля Криворучко#January 24|warned for potential blocking]] due to being engaged in an edit war. Recently, I moved their article to the draftspace as it had no content. There is a clear [[WP:COMPETENCE]] issue, so I'm proposing a temporary block. <span style="border-radius:8em;padding:0 7px;background:orange">[[User:I'm tla|<span style="color:white">'''TLA'''</span>]]</span> [[User talk:I'm tla|(talk)]] 09:45, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

:I made a proper edits to the draft. Thanks for your redirect to draft and recommendations. [[User:Ілля Криворучко|Ілля Криворучко]] ([[User talk:Ілля Криворучко|talk]]) 11:00, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
::For [[Draft:Inna Makhno]] and [[Draft:Alina Chaplenko]], both were moved while @[[User:Ілля Криворучко|Ілля Криворучко]] was actively working on them and before the recommended hour, per NPP guidelines.  Inna Makhno was created at 11:11 with ongoing edits until 11:19 and moved at 11:21. They immediately recreated [[Inna Makhno]] which is a fully formed article (created 11:22, editing until 11:56).  Alina Chaplenko was created at 9:27 with ongoing edits until 9:35 and moved at 9:37 so it appears reviewers are not giving enough time to develop the articles before moving them. [[User:S0091|S0091]] ([[User talk:S0091|talk]]) 16:32, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
:'''Comment''' - the user being reported has racked up an astonishing 5000+ edits since November of last year. I believe he is editing in good faith and is working on an area that doesn't get much love. The issues with his editing perhaps stem from the sheer volume of contributions - maybe rather than a temporary block (which I don't see helping ''and'' risks alienating a potentially valuable contributor) he could be instructed to go through [[WP:AFC]] for a few months? That should slow him down a bit and help him polish his editing style while not preventing him from contributing. [[User:Ostalgia|Ostalgia]] ([[User talk:Ostalgia|talk]]) 18:13, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
::I've given them a couple suggestions on their talk page but I don't think any restrictions are warranted at the time.

The other, [[Yaroslav Lavreniuk]], was deleted 5 minutes after creation for being blank but subsequently successfully recreated.  They did a have stumble around the January 28th time frame for edit warring and couple other issues but nothing since that time.  From what I can tell, they do act on feedback.

:::I'm not a new page patrol, didn't realize that it is recommended to wait an hour before "patrolling". They have good contributions, yes (though a good chunk of it stems from publishing every edit), It was completely blank, though, and doesn't that still warrants some kind of a recommendation to incubate articles in the draftspace, at minimum? In creation template would also work.

::::If you are not an NPP reviewer, I suggest reading [[WP:New pages patrol]] to ensure your actions are within general standards.  The moves to draft and the deletion were not in-line with those standards.  Outside of egregious violations, like an attack page meeting G10, editors should be given an hour to develop a new article.  So no, there is no supported action to take and I suggest you withdraw your complaint.  [[User:S0091|S0091]] ([[User talk:S0091|talk]]) 21:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::This has been a learning experience, for sure. But @S0091, I believe there still should be some kind of instruction to the user as @[[User:Ostalgia|Ostalgia]] pointed out as well.

::::::@[[User:I'm tla|I'm tla]] as I stated above I did leave a note on their talk page with a couple suggestions but to be clear, they are not nor should be required to follow them just like any other editor is not.  Experienced/autopatrolled editors start articles directly in article space regularly with no sources or maybe just one source.  It's not a big deal if they continue to develop the article within a short period of time.  Take a look at [[WP:A7]] for example, which states as long as there is a credible claim to significance even with no sources it cannot be speedily deleted, including BLPs.  The lesson to take from this is give an editor at least an hour. [[User:S0091|S0091]] ([[User talk:S0091|talk]]) 22:16, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

{{user|Skyerise}} is harassing me; I have twice requested Skyerise stop writing on my user talk page ([[Special:Diff/1208029833|diff]], [[Special:Diff/1208043072|diff]]), and he has stated he would continue ([[Special:Diff/1208038480|diff]], [[Special:Diff/1208038635|diff]]). It started after I made a single edit ([[Special:Diff/1208000228|diff]]) in good faith to [[List of Thelemites]] which he reverted. I really couldn't have cared less about the reversion, but what I didn't expect was a berating on my user talk page which included almost 3 dozen edits in rapid-fire succession while I attempted to respond but had difficulty due to numerous edit-conflicts.

Instead of complaining about that edit on the ''article's'' talk page, Skyerise had brought it to my ''user'' talk page ([[Special:Diff/1208025363|diff]]) with a vengeance. Per [[WP:REFACTOR]], I moved the comment to the article talk page ([[Special:Diff/1208027161|diff]]) where I planned to respond/explain ([[Special:Diff/1208034498|eventually did]]), but he deleted it ([[Special:Diff/1208027161|diff]]) and brought the issue back to my user talk page... ''additionally'' angry that I moved "his" comment ([[Special:Diff/1208027958|diff]]).

He has used inappropriate edit summaries including "I'm angry at you" ([[Special:Diff/1208028306|diff]]) and "bwahahaha" ([[Special:Diff/1208031725|diff]]). He twice called me "rude" ([[Special:Diff/1208027958|diff]], [[Special:Diff/1208027596|diff]]), and challenged "Who do you think you are?" ([[Special:Diff/1208028306|diff]]) Several times he used the language "you don't get to" ([[Special:Diff/1208025363|diff]], [[Special:Diff/1208027161|diff]], [[Special:Diff/1208027958|diff]]).

He repeatedly accused me of violating talk page guidelines while he has ignored and repudiated the 3 wiki policies [[WP:REFACTOR]], {{Section link|WP:User pages|Removal of comments, notices, and warnings}} and {{Section link|WP:Talk page guidelines|Personal talk page cleanup}} which explicitly give me the right to remove comments from my own user talk page. He even ordered me "You do not have my permission to move this comment" ([[Special:Diff/1208039028|diff]]).

He has escalated the harassment by twice demanding an apology [for moving his comment] ([[Special:Diff/1208031995|diff]], [[Special:Diff/1208052698|diff]]) and threatening me with ANI ([[Special:Diff/1208050535|diff]]). He insists the discussion "belongs on [my] talk page where [he] started the conversation" ([[Special:Diff/1208038635|diff]]), and finally accused ''me'' of gaslighting ''him'' ([[Special:Diff/1208050131|diff]]). Though I have muted him (minimally helpful), I am at a loss as to how to keep him from my user talk page or get the harassment to stop. I appeal to the ANI readers. <span style="text-shadow:#000 0em 0em 1em">[[User:Grorp|<span style="color:#6a0dad"> &nbsp;&nbsp;▶ I am Grorp ◀ </span>]]</span> 12:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

:My pronouns are "she/her". I've got no desire to get into a pissing match with you, I just want you to acknowledge that it was wrong to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AList_of_Thelemites&diff=1208027161&oldid=990954045 move my comments to another talk page] without first asking and receiving permission. I'm not watching your talk page, I'm only replying when you ping me. Pinging someone who you don't actually want to reply could also be considered harassment. I have ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AGrorp&diff=1208054549&oldid=1208054408 already agreed]'' not to post on your talk page as long as you don't ping me there. See also [[WP:BOOMARANG]]. [[User:Skyerise|Skyerise]] ([[User talk:Skyerise|talk]]) 12:18, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
::So, I will briefly weigh in because I think this is a bit of a tempest in a teapot.  Grorp, I do believe Skyerise is correct that you should have received permission before moving the subject comment, per [[WP:REFACTOR]].  That said, Skyerise, this actioon strikes me as more of a venial sin, since Grorp would have been well within their rights to simply erase the comment without explanation.  The issue, then, is posting to the article page.  You correctly cite to [[WP:TPO]] and the language {{tq|never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page}}, but I don't see the move as changing the meaning in any way?  It does change the audience, but this all strikes me as having been done in good faith.  Finally, while I think it is more a matter of etiquette than policy (though anyone should feel free to prove otherwise!), I agree that pings invite replies.  Perhaps this is just me, but I am inclined to say that one ping with a 'stay off my page' message is appropriate.  It would be after that when pings would become problematic.  Tangentially, Skyerise, while not a violation, a review of the history of Grorp's talk page does leave a bit of a bad impression.  
::So, TLDR: does Grorp owe an apology?  Yes, I think so--they made a minor error.  Skyerise's reaction, however, strikes me as a bit much.  I'd say apologies should be exchanged, but more realistically, perhaps the editors should just agree to avoid one another in the future.  A Happy Friday to one and all!

Let's get this straight, even IF the act of moving a content-comment to its related article talk page was against policy, it would neither warrant nor excuse the barrage of abusive language and [[WP:PA|personal attacks]] that followed from Skyerise. One would be an error, the other is deliberate and knowing disruptive and abusive [[WP:HARASS|harassment]], which has continued even after I twice asked them to stop. I have not responded in kind.

This would be the time ordinarily that this discussion would be closed but it seems like you are looking for something specific to happen next. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 04:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
:: {{reply|Liz}} Yes, thank you for asking. I don't expect an apology; I do expect action. This is not Skyerise's first rodeo for harassment. They've been sanctioned prior (last time blocked for a month), and it obviously has had no lasting effect on changing their behavior. Indeed I want them sanctioned with whatever the next level is.{{pb}}
:: Dumuzid's comment is the ''only'' one above which supported my action to have moved a comment, "{{tq|Pruning text – should only be done ... with good cause under policy. One example is "Relocation of text to different pages where it is more appropriate.}}" I did nothing to escalate Skyerise's bad behavior, '''which started ''before'' I moved the comment'''. I brought this to ANI so an admin can DO something about Skyerise's atrocious actions, but instead I got further harassed by the victim-blaming peanut gallery whose attention somehow got stuck (incorrectly) at one point in the middle of a series of events—no doubt courtesy of [[Special:Diff/1208079482|Skyerise's immediate response]] '''which focused everyone's attention on that one point'''.{{pb}}
:: No, [[Special:Diff/1208102076|Skyerise did ''not'' apologize]].  Coupling the words "I apologize" followed by a 'feeling' they had (Skyerise's impetus for their actions) is not the same as apologizing to me and the community for the damaging actions they did, have done, and will do again. There is no element of contrition, no sense that they actually understood what they did, or that it was wrong, or that they would stop doing it in the future. Every element of an apology is missing except vacant words. It is no different than saying "sorry I got mad" or "sorry I hate you" or "here's your pretend apology so we can go home". Worse, their "apology" edit summary, "{{tq|now see if Grorp can acknowledge}}", is just a snide repeat of their several earlier demands for ''me'' to apologize to ''them''. Hardly an apology.{{pb}}
:: Skyerise started the fuss, continued it over several hours, derailed this ANI off focus, then deleted my ANI-notice to them with the mocking edit summary "[[Special:Diff/1208080894|thanks, that's just what I wanted you to do]]". <span style="text-shadow:#000 0em 0em 1em">[[User:Grorp|<span style="color:#6a0dad"> &nbsp;&nbsp;▶ I am Grorp ◀ </span>]]</span> 05:57, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I would like to bring to administrators' attention, these two spam-only accounts:

* {{userlinks|Sachinsuper}}
* {{userlinks|Karkiwiki}}

I highly, ''highly'' suspect that Karkiwiki is a sockpuppet account of Sachinsuper, created to attempt to avoid scrutiny. Sachinsuper has been involved in adding the same 'cinemakhabar.com' and 'gamekhabar.com' spam websites across a variety of articles ([[Special:Diff/1206163025|diff 1]], [[Special:Diff/1206432398|diff 2]], [[Special:Diff/1207672472|diff 3]], [[Special:Diff/1207944378|diff 4]]), and I've given that user a final warning today. Well guess what happens several hours later after that final warning? A newly-created account, 'Karkiwiki' comes and adds the same spam website to the [[Sarfaraz Khan (cricketer)]] article, added as an inline external link to 'Romana Zahoor' once again like with the previous account ([[Special:Diff/1208333234|diff]]).

Even if they aren't sockpuppets of each other, they both seem to be only interested in adding the same spam external links to Wikipedia articles. I have informed both user accounts on their talk pages of this ANI report. —&nbsp;[[User:AP 499D25|<span style="background:#1F6295;color:white;padding:1q 5q;border-radius:10q;font-family:Franklin Gothic, Verdana">AP&nbsp;499D25</span>]] [[User talk:AP 499D25|<span style="color:#1A527D">(talk)</span>]] 06:03, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

He is continuously deleting properly sourced content using invalid reasons like copyvio, commentary while adding his own commentary to the page. 

For instance, today LingoSouthAsia [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1207961259 removed sourced material about rigging in the election] with the edit summary "Copyrights issue" despite there being no evidence of copyright violation. When {{user| Discospinster}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1207961517 reverted his edit], LingoSouthAsia [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1207962262 restored] it again with edit summary like "WP is not a news paper". LingoSouthAsia then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=1207972355&oldid=1207962803 added] a chunk of OR without citing any reliable independent source which also [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1207972355 include] his personal commentary. 

Similarly yesterday, LingoSouthAsia repeatedly [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1207589870 added] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=1207649114&oldid=1207645073 added then again] the same personal commentary which was later removed but instead of listening, he opted to add it again today.

After further consideration of the matter and further actions by the user I'm changing this report to being one of deliberate policy breaches and frankly [[WP:NOTHERE]].
<br>
On the above cited article they've created for "Ageism against Joe Biden" they have repeatedly reinserted BLP violations, claiming the removal of this material is "vandalism" [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ageism_against_Joe_Biden&diff=prev&oldid=1207429806], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ageism_against_Joe_Biden&diff=prev&oldid=1207431367].
<br>
They have since moved on to removing reliably sourced information claiming that it is instead WP:OR and BLP violations (almost seemingly parroting back why their own material has been removed to try and sound credible)[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Edelman&diff=prev&oldid=1207704157], or just removed sourced content based on absurd and obviously false reasoning.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_Gari%C3%A9py&diff=prev&oldid=1207433056].
<br>They have also engaged in obvious use of talk pages to advertise their own article.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Joe_Biden&diff=prev&oldid=1207230543]

I see no potential for a change in this behaviour and therefore ask for swift action by an admin to resolve. [[User:Rambling Rambler|Rambling Rambler]] ([[User talk:Rambling Rambler|talk]]) 14:25, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

:Agreed that user is not here after removing sourced content and engaging in disruptove editing. They also are logged in (i suspect) with an additional IP: @208.102.167.48 - idk if they understand the 3RR but if it is the same user then then they are avoiding it. [[User:LegalSmeagolian|LegalSmeagolian]] ([[User talk:LegalSmeagolian|talk]]) 19:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
::I don't know if they're that IP, but they're certainly aware of the editing warring policy given they've been warned by '''several''' users on their talk page and have been blocked for it once, and every time they've been warned they've stubbornly refused to take the hint and insist they're right ([[WP:IDHT]]). Even at the block for edit warring I've diffed above they repeatedly insisted [[WP:ONUS]] suddenly applied to the '''removal''' of content rather than inclusion and seemingly invented "other editors" who agreed with them.

'''Further Update, 16/02/2024:''' Following discovery of what appears to be examples of manufacturing quotes from supposed cited sources and asking for advice from an admin I have put this issue in to the Vandalism noticeboard, leaving this here for now as it should probably still be archived. [[User:Rambling Rambler|Rambling Rambler]] ([[User talk:Rambling Rambler|talk]]) 02:20, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

:Righty ho, now getting told at the vandalism noticeboard that it should be on '''this''' noticeboard. Anyway here were are, user manufacturing quotes to POV-push, namely inventing quotes from "medical experts" regarding the health of Joe Biden ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ageism_against_Joe_Biden&diff=prev&oldid=1207897463]), and in the United States article just going to town spreading false claims that the US deliberately committed a "campaign of extermination" that killed 100 million Native Americans ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United%20States&diff=1207683588&oldid=1207573533 edits], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:United_States&diff=prev&oldid=1207915385 investigation]). Can an admin please step in and resolve this. [[User:Rambling Rambler|Rambling Rambler]] ([[User talk:Rambling Rambler|talk]]) 16:48, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
::See [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_States&diff=prev&oldid=1207700258] Note the deletions, eg first landing on the moon, etc. Let's look down the article to where they add " According to historian [[David Stannard]] in ''[[American Holocaust (book)|American Holocaust]],'' this is the largest [[genocide]] in world history, and led to an estimated 100 million deaths",. You'd think that the US did that. given the new section heading and the sentence before that says "The campaigns of extermination prompted a long series of American Indian Wars west of the Mississippi River.". But [[American Holocaust (book)]] says " The book surveys the history of European colonization in the Americas, for approximately 400 years, from the first Spanish assaults in the Caribbean in the 1490s to the Wounded Knee Massacre in the 1890s--the indigenous inhabitants of North and South America have suffered dispossession, oppression and exploitation. During that time the indigenous population of the Western Hemisphere declined by as many as 100 million people.,"  Note that the article already said " The Columbian exchange was catastrophic for native populations. It is estimated that up to 95 percent of the indigenous populations in the Americas perished from infectious diseases during the years following European colonization;"
::I'd argue that's deliberately misleading especially given other edits by him. Eg the addition of "Through its policies of [[settler colonialism]] and [[white supremacy]]," without  mentioning that "Settler colonialism was especially prominent in the colonial empires of the European powers between the 16th and 20th centuries. The settling of Boers in South Africa, British, French, Portuguese and Spanish expansion in the Americas as well as the settlement of the Canary Islands by Castile are classical examples of settler colonialism." 
::Then there's "By 1900, [[Industrial Revolution in the United States|rapid industrialization]] " to which was added "achieved through the [[exploitation of labor]]". When was any industrial revolution achieved without the exploitation of labor? I think that  the edits in this diff are misleading and attacks. and violations of NPOV.

:::The worst thing is that '''none''' of his edits look to be supported by any source whatsoever, with them almost insidiously altering existing sourced statements radically to say something completely new and hope no one checks that the citation no longer supports the new claim. There's zero possibility that this is anything but deliberate at this point.
:::Also if you look at the edit warring notices on their talk page (of which they have '''several''') and the edit-warring discussion I've linked near the top there's just a general pattern of behaviour where they'll seemingly just make stuff up and then when called out on it just full on deny anything they've done is wrong, in fact everyone else is the problem, and several supposed users supported them (though I've yet to find a single person support any of their edits).

== [[User:TylerBurden]] habitually overly aggressive, assuming bad faith and incivilty on CT talk pages ==

[[Special:Diff/1207413857]] - That last sentence is needlessly aggressive<br>
[[Special:Diff/1208223248]] - needlessly aggressive tone in ES<br>
[[Special:Diff/1207824422]] - putting words in my mouth in ES<br>
[[Special:Diff/1208228313]] - Trying to start a back and forth argument on a talk page, when I made a single comment without further involving myself in a single dispute while reviewing his behavior. I honestly tried to avoid getting into a back and forth with him the best I could.<br>

He's been involved in previous disputes as well where people have taken issue with his tone, looking back through his talk page, and almost always has an extremely aggressive tone about him.

I've unintentionally come off as rude or confrontational without meaning to a few times, but I always try to apologize for it. For him, this is a pattern of behavior where he doubles down on the aggression.
 
Thinking a single, short, agreement someone left in a dispute he hadn't replied to yet after leaving a polite request to be civil, while checking to see if it was a pattern, is hounding is well, it shows an "elevated emotional state", to put it nicely. Hounding requires ill intent, this is assuming bad faith. All I wanted to do was see that dispute in there resolved that hadn't been replied to, but he kept on re-reverting the other editor without discussing. This feels like [[WP:BATTLEGROUND]]ing to me. I wanted to not involve myself too much in the dispute, just give my short "i havent heard his side yet" message, waiting for further explanation, with my honest opinion. It was entirely in good faith.

I don't want him blocked or TBANned, I just want him told to take a chill pill and not be so overly confrontational. I don't know any admins personally (and therefore don't know who would be willing to act outside of ANI), and I don't want to take it somewhere so public but really, I have nowhere else to go. There isn't a content dispute ongoing, so I cant take him to 3O or DRN. :/ [[User:DarmaniLink|DarmaniLink]] ([[User talk:DarmaniLink|talk]]) 23:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

:It's starting to look like you're on a mission to suppress Prigozhin's estimate and force push those bold Western estimates. I would also point out that this accusation is distorted. As such, I'll try my best to show the full picture because this is a long story...
:#Regarding the first two edits, there has already been a long discussion at [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Prigozhin vs Dr. Gilbert W. Merkx casualty numbers reliability for the infobox|WP:RSN]] which casted a lot of doubt on the adequacy of including that JAMS estimate. The citation was dubious as the original author of the estimate isn't clear at all (LCU even suggested not citing it and other uninvolved editors seemed to point to the argument that all are simply estimates and reliability should be checked only for the publishing source, which was fine for Prigozhin), yet for some reason, ManyAreasExpert insists that it should be included and that it should override Prigozhin's estimate that was in the article for a long time. If ManyAreasExpert is bringing this issue back up again, it seems he isn't satisfied with the discussions. Let me also point out that it was ManyAreasExpert that connected these two topics.
:##[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=1203702526&oldid=1203452667 In this edit sequence], ManyAreasExpert removes Prigozhin's estimate in favor of the dubious estimate he insists is academic. So it appears like <u>he</u>'s ''in favor'' of something, not me, I reacted to his original actions.
:##I obviously partially reverted these new edits in 2 parts, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1203780783][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1203780783], because they never had consensus, and then extensive discussion in RSN and the talk page highlighted those problems.
:##Then I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=1204180329&oldid=1203876549 adjusted/fixed the new citation] to highlight the concerns we were discussing.
:##Then he arguably edit warred and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1204196076 removed Prigozhin] from the infobox yet again. I didn't check the timings, but I guess we were already discussing in the talk pages when these happened.
:##I responded in kind and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1204196076 restored] the original version that had Prigozhin's estimate properly attributed in the infobox for months.
:##Then he edit warred, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1204196649 removing] Prigozhin from the infobox yet again, arguing that he's not reliable. An argument which was not inline with the discussion at WP:RSN. There, LCU said that Prigozhin is reliable for statements for the Wagner group and recently Alaexis said this "It goes without saying that each side of a conflict has many reasons not to be fully truthful about their own and the enemy's losses. In this case the question is whether these numbers are cited by reliable sources. I see that the Jerusalem Post cited Prigozhin's estimate of the Ukrainian forces (80k) [194]. Are the losses numbers also cited by RS?" Which shows that the ''reliability'' discussion is deeper/has more nuance than simply saying ''Wagner's leader is unreliable''.
:##He fixed the {{tl|vs}} tag [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1204197220 here], cool.
:##Then I responded in kind and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1204215041 restored] to the "status quo" version. I also asked him to not edit war in the edit summary and said some other things. I recommend you check the edit summary.
:##We stopped before reaching the 3RR.
:#Regarding the 3rd edit ManyAreasExpert linked, it's an example of seeing patterns where there aren't any. He provided a better, more recent estimate by a think-tank similar in tone to that dubious JAMS, but this time properly attributed. I had no problems with it. I only pointed out (not necessarily then, but also in subsequent edits) that it was important to use [[WP:INTEXT]] attribution to explicitly show where the estimate comes from and to not use wikivoice to cite it as a statement of fact (something estimates aren't by definition). I thought it was the perfect opportunity to solve the previous big problem and get rid of the burden of that dubious JAMS citation. I substituted the dubious citation with the better one (he provided that new citation by the way). There should have been no problems, the new citation had similar numbers to the problematic one. It should have been a win-win for us. But no, ManyAreasExpert, out of the blue, draws the connection with Prigozhin yet again and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1206984940 reverts the edit]. That edit had nothing to do with Prigozhin, but unfortunately he did not [[WP:AGF]] and drew incorrect conclusions. I must also point out that I suggested more than once to remove all the multiple estimates from the infobox and put them all in the casualties section. [[User:Cinderella157|Cinderella157]] was also inline with this. If I remember correctly, ManyAreasExpert never commented on it (correct me if I'm wrong). It should be of his interest to do that. Doesn't he think that Prigozhin's estimate isn't worthy for the infobox, but ok for the article body? I'm not obliged to implement that. I gave him the greenlight to do it and potentially solve the issue. It is not of today that I try to minimally edit in Wikipedia. It consumes a lot of my time, thus everytime I see an opportunity for someone to make an edit I support, I let them do it. I only push myself to make edits that maybe no one else will do, or when I have to counter edits and try to reach a compromise on changes I see as inadequate. Therefore, I view that second indirect accusation as disingenuous.
:#Regarding the 4th and 5th links ManyAreasExpert provided, I don't see any real issue. If I recall correctly, somewhere in the long WP:RSN discussion, someone suggested using estimate ranges, I think for the infobox to summarize the different estimates. I agreed with that notion and thought it was very applicable to that statement linked by ManyAreasExpert. That statement is in the Aftermath section and talks about the casualties of the battle. It is used to give context to future statements that argue that the battle was a pyhrric victory. Most of the statements ManyAreasExpert wrote in that paragraph I thought were quite good and balanced. However, I thought that statement about casualties was unbalanced. How would it not be? It only voiced a single estimate and the most extreme in favor of Ukraine on top of it. Even if it's a more recent estimate by a Western think-tank, it's not the "last chip in the bag".
:##Initially, ManyAreasExpert [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1206851526 wrote that statement] without inline attribution. I found that inadequate as wikivoice was being used to make a statement that seemed like a statement of fact, but was ultimately not. It's simply one of multiple estimates, albeit one of the better ones arguably, and should have proper attribution.
:##Instead of plainly reverting that statement arguing for "no consensus", I decided to fix it/reach a compromise and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1206958337 added intext attribution] to that and other statements, among other things. See the edit summary. So far so good.
:##But then I also remembered and thought that it would be even more appropriate to show an estimates range (as was probably suggested in the RSN discussion) in that casualties summary statement. Once again, attempting to improve/reach compromise. Although, the principle/idea was good, the execution of the edit, in the first instance, wasn't ideal. I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1207350654 wrote the estimates range], but without attribution. As such, ManyAreasExpert's argument of equating Prigozhin's estimates with the IISS one was valid.
:##ManyAreasExpert [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1207909775 reverts] my change to that statement.
:##I acknowledged the mistake and decided to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1208127998 readd the range], but properly this time (with attribution). There's no stubborness or edit warring, only an effort to reach compromise and do the things right. It is only an expected coincidence that the lower bound for Russian casualties would come from Prigozhin himself. So what? That statement is a summary of the casualties section. It's only adequate to fairly represent it with [[WP:DUE]] weight and [[WP:INTEXT]] attribution.
:##Then at 20:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC) ManyAreasExpert [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1208217958 created a new topic] in the talk page.
:##Despite saying "Greetings!" and "Thanks!", his frivolous accusation of {{tq|please stop pushing Prigozhin claims with edit war}} angered me since I wasn't doing edit war (I've explained the latest events above, I was trying to reach a compromise and fix the estimates range statement, Prigozhin popping up again was an expected coincidence) and he himself participated in edit war in the past (that first engagement about Prigozhin and JAMS). I naturally started the replies with the left foot, not particularly amicable. Between 21:34 and 21:42 I replied [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABattle_of_Bakhmut&diff=1208244244&oldid=1208222935 this]. Yeah, I was annoyed.
:##But what made me even more annoyed was his [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1208245680 revert at 21:46]. At the time I discovered it, several minutes later, I found it quite provocative, because I thought we were trying to discuss the matter in the talk page before deleting stuff in the article. We had already exchanged [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABattle_of_Bakhmut&diff=1208250182&oldid=1208244244 several replies] (between 21:49 and 22:01) in the talk page, before I noticed the revert in the article. Needless to say, the discussion was unconstructive. I viewed the concerns of that discussion a done deal (from the previous discussions) and understood that, for ManyAreasExpert, those two estimates could not coexist and no compromise would be reached. We both exchanged deflective replies, as if we weren't on the same tune. He also brought up some conduct links like BATTLEGROUND and "strawman" which I found quite inadequate as his conduct as a whole wasn't exemplary either.
:##Well, and then, as I said before, I noticed he [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1208140921 removed] the lower bound of the Wagner estimate and argued for "no consensus". My subsequent [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1208245680 action at 22:03] speaks for itself. I thought it was kinda dirty for him to ask for talk in the talk page but at the same time revert the edit he disagreed with. At the time, I didn't know that he first reverted the edit and then replied to me in the talk page. However, that doesn't diminish his unfortunate mistake, he should have checked the talk page first, especially because he created that topic more than an hour before. Finally, as show in the last edit summary, I used the same argument of "no consensus" he used to remove the entire contentious statement about casualties.
:#And this is where we're at. After my final revert in the article, I made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABattle_of_Bakhmut&diff=1208253507&oldid=1208250182 two more replies] which were left unanswered, by him. Sure an IP editor did ''chime in'' there but that's beside the point.
:So this is my defense. I know I haven't acted perfectly along the way, but the motivations and principles were legit and my actions were reasonable overall, given the circumstances (considering ManyAreasExpert's conduct wasn't exemplary either, prior discussions, etc). As such, I would also suggest others to weigh in on ManyAreasExpert's conduct when analysing these several events and also the context in the multiple relevant discussions.

While I genuinely believe that he did that in good faith, I found it extremely inappropriate because he had already correctly notified me in my talk page and I had already explained all my actions above.

Multiple editors have pointed this out to the editor over a number of years and have tried to counsel on their talk page, e.g. in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAngryskies&diff=974818607&oldid=974192776 2020], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAngryskies&diff=1000077756&oldid=999966714 2021], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAngryskies&diff=1121423018&oldid=1121422230 2022] and  [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAngryskies&diff=1188167981&oldid=1187221004 2023], but in each case editor refused to communicate and just deleted without replying and carried on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Angryskies&diff=next&oldid=1000579923], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Angryskies&diff=next&oldid=1121423018], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Angryskies&diff=next&oldid=1188167981], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Angryskies&diff=next&oldid=979564987].

Other examples where this has occurred are at [https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Angryskies&page=BBC&max=500&server=enwiki BBC], [https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Angryskies&page=Deloitte&max=500&server=enwiki Deloitte],  [https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Angryskies&page=NatWest+Group&max=500&server=enwiki NatWest Group] and [https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Angryskies&page=TSB_Bank_(United_Kingdom) TSB Bank]. Editor was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=139671045 blocked for one month in November 2022] for some of the same reasons, but seemingly has not learnt from this. I did take this is to the edit warring noticeboard, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&oldid=1207505252 but was declined and deemed that it should be dealt with here]. [[User:Arebeebank|Arebeebank]] ([[User talk:Arebeebank|talk]]) 21:29, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

:Just to note, Angryskies did respond in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Angryskies&oldid=974818607#Infobox_company 2020]. At this point, I think the 2023 warning is a bit stale, and I recommend attempting to discuss this with Angryskies one more time; if they blank their talk page again or let it sit for a week, then I think coming back here would be appropriate.

Last week I requested [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1148#Help_with_Nauman335 help with a DUCK] to this UPE sock farm which was then blocked. In classic fashion, new accounts were created and are back to disrupt, picking up right where the others left off. Can someone assist and do a quick check and block the new accounts per DUCK [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Nauman335#19_February_2024 listed at the new SPI filing] (above accounts)?--[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 11:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

:Fact that multiple users from the same country are working on the same shows is that they are popular and Wikipedia has no article on them. Just Google Khaie, Serial Killer and Other shows I've edited on Google and YouTube, these shows are popular and infact have million of viewers on Youtube. They have been covered by international media outlets too but [[User:CNMall41]] has been so skeptical regarding these articles that he thinks every other editor who edits on these is a sock. [[User:Qwef1234]] is one of those examples. As long as his claims to be paid editors is concerned, do you think the popularity of the shows need them to have paid projects to create articles about them on Wikipedia. It's sheer discrimination by [[User:CNMall41]]. I'm strictly against [[WP:sockpuppetry]] and available for help in that case. I would like to express my gratitude to [[User:Liz]] for reverting [[User:CNMall41]] baseless allegations. [[User:JeanieLo|JeanieLo]] ([[User talk:JeanieLo|talk]]) 15:19, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
::Please avoid [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|personal attacks]]!

== User: Yotrages (2) ==

Shortly after [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1149#User: Yotrages|this noticeboard]], that led users like {{ping|Vanderwaalforces}} suggest that {{ping|User: Yotrages}} has a WP:CIR issue, Nigerian user Yotrages came back even worse! With these edits ([https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rema_(musician)&diff=prev&oldid=1208166043&title=Rema_%28musician%29&diffonly=1 1], [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wizkid&diff=prev&oldid=1208461812&title=Wizkid&diffonly=1 2]) by Nigerian IPs, Yotrages Is voluntarily abusing of multiple accounts to restore his content (edit history of the page says it all, {{ping|Schazjmd}} said that one if the two “seems to clearly be Yotrages”). He also repeatedly continued his pattern of addition of false content with his main account ([https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Tortured_Poets_Department&diff=prev&oldid=1207273021&title=The_Tortured_Poets_Department&diffonly=1 1], [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wizkid&diff=prev&oldid=1208192654&title=Wizkid&diffonly=1 2]). I've been checking his edits for these last weeks, and I can firmly say that to me Yotrages is clearly a Vandalism only account that adds fabricated content on purpose [[User:DollysOnMyMind|DollysOnMyMind]] ([[User talk:DollysOnMyMind|talk]]) 15:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
:Baseless accusations, those 2 IP's ain't mine. Cuz you traced they're from Nigeria doesn't mean I own them!! My IP address is 105.115.1.25 so it's different from them, and I've never used it to edit (you can cross check). The articles are for Nigerian artists, so Nigerian IP's are going to edit it. Per your logic, I can accuse you of using any [[South Africa|South African]] IP's that edit on Wikipedia. The second case {{ping|DollysOnMyMind}} removed a content that an RFC has been reached for [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rema_(musician)&diff=prev&oldid=1208490626&title=Rema_%28musician%29&diffonly=1], which is bad and can deprive him of editing privilege. The third case is that, he has been adding [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chris_Brown&diff=prev&oldid=1207035507&title=Chris_Brown&diffonly=1|rubbish, unnecessary and unreliable content] to [[Chris Brown]]'s article.

::DollysOnMyMind reverting everything you dont like on Wikipedia, is not a good way of editing. That IP has edited [[Rema]]'s page a day before I saw it.

== [[User:Summerdays1]] and [[WP:BATTLEGROUND]] ==

{{Userlinks|Summerdays1}} User has been making an extensive [[WP:BATTLEGROUND]] for months in order to target myself and a few other editors, involving consistent [[WP:CANVASSING]] and warring to revert edits, accompanied by personal attacks. This editor continues this behavior regardless and ignores every warning by multiple editors, including this most recent one by [[User:Ponyo|Ponyo]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ponyo&diff=prev&oldid=1205138718]. Their reversions are usually under nonsensical edit summaries and often break article formatting or duplicate existing information, which is also disruptive. It's a pattern long enough to warrant a block. I've listed some here (this is not comprehensive, the rest can be seen through their edit log):
*Multiple violations of [[WP:CANVASS]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rrsimone&diff=prev&oldid=1192308355][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Favonian&diff=prev&oldid=1192324661] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Doniago&diff=prev&oldid=1204355029]

Numerous reverts and unconstructive edits that I can't list them all. The most comprehensive view on my end would be through the edit-interaction analyzer (most of his edits were just reverting mine for no reason): [https://sigma.toolforge.org/editorinteract.py?users=GuardianH&users=Summerdays1&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki]. They've continued their recent trend of just haphazardly reverting with nonsensical edit summaries which can be viewed on their log. Repasted from my old report (any newer edits show the same pattern):

The latter part of the latest discussion on the article's talk page is largely them stating I am wrong with no rationale to back it up, or simply just asking/demanding of me to just to "leave it alone" (again exhibiting traits of ICHY concerning content they care for). 
::::Once it was clear to myself that we would not be able to resolve this on our own, I've repeatedly asked them if they would like to wait for other editors to chime in on the talk page, or go to 3O or DRN.

::::Deleting a notice is not "ignoring" it, but rather is typically considered to be the editor in question seeing your notice but choosing not to engage with it, which is their right. In terms of demonstrating a behavioral issue, it would be more effective to provide a narrative where you show that the editor made a mistake, then that you notified them that they made said mistake, and that they continued to make the same mistake. For instance, with the claims of inserting erroneous material, you should show that you notified the editor that the material they inserted was erroneous and that they then reinserted it.

No, we don't just block someone who makes such errors, but it's not okay for users to create error-filled edits on the assumption "someone else" will come along and clean it up. [[WP:CIR]] is a metric for whether someone should be allowed to edit the site, not the bar for whether an individual edit should be accepted. It's perfectly acceptable, even preferable, to revert "productive" additions that introduce a bunch of errors rather than to ignore them and expect other editors to clean them up.

==Malicious editing by [[user:Pankeyk|Pankeyk]] / 2601:646::/32==
A few days ago, I was reported to this noticeboard due to my attempts to patrol new edits and revert vandalism/warn offending users. In doing so, 
I drew the wrath of someone using a number of IPs from the same range (2601:646::/32) who then proceeded to create an account, both os which they have since been using to taunt, goad and harass me. Some background on this as follows:

{{userlinks|2601:646:9982:e590:167:b8f1:6fab:e93}} makes [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spire_of_Notre-Dame_de_Paris&diff=prev&oldid=1207915609 an unnecessary grammatical change] for which they are warned (by me) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:646:9982:E590:167:B8F1:6FAB:E93&oldid=1207917646 here].

The next [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:646:9982:E590:167:B8F1:6FAB:E93&diff=prev&oldid=1207917646 comment] on that talk page is from {{userlinks|2601:646:8003:6b20:c1b6:8b6f:ec48:af47}} in the same range, but is constructed to look like it's come from a different user, who accuses me of having an angry attitude

The next series of edits on that talk page are a hostile exchange between me and yet another IP from that range {{userlinks|2601:646:8003:6b20:249b:3c4b:3c0e:5089}}: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:646:9982:E590:167:B8F1:6FAB:E93&diff=prev&oldid=1207932407], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:646:9982:E590:167:B8F1:6FAB:E93&diff=prev&oldid=1207934668], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:646:9982:E590:167:B8F1:6FAB:E93&diff=prev&oldid=1207934937]
Also on my talk page, the same IP gets annoyed with me for attempting to revert vandalism [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:180.28.59.165&diff=prev&oldid=1207932299] before they finally create an account and login as [[user:Pankeyk|Pankeyk]]

On reviewing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Pankeyk Pankeyk's contributions], it seems clear they have an obsession with me, baiting me [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:646:9982:E590:167:B8F1:6FAB:E93&diff=prev&oldid=1207936602] and calling me a fraud [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:646:9982:E590:167:B8F1:6FAB:E93&diff=prev&oldid=1207935722].

Later on, I posted a request for unblock on my talk page which was denied, at which point this user's editing pattern starts to become troublesome....

In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:180.28.59.165&diff=prev&oldid=1208260189 this comment], despite the fact that everything that needed to be said had been done so already, Pankeyk was so desperate to taunt me and get the last word in that they posted an extremely patronising message, thinly veiled as "advice".
As is my right, I then remove the nonsense added by Pankeyk, first restoring an old revision [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:180.28.59.165&diff=next&oldid=1208345548] (I did accidentally remove a comment from the blocking admin, but this would not make sense out of context anyway) and then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:180.28.59.165&diff=next&oldid=1208345660 explaining why I was removing them]

At this point, yet another IP from the previous range {{userlinks|2601:646:8003:6b20:a12e:56c0:777d:e05f}} (already self-confirmed as [[user:Pankeyk|Pankeyk]]) jumps in and makes a series of edits:

In conclusion, this pattern of behaviour is every bit as bad as actual sockpuppetry, and in my opinion should be dealt with the same way - i.e. the sock account Pankeyk should be indef blocked, and the IP range mentioned above hard blocked for a long time. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/180.28.59.165|180.28.59.165]] ([[User talk:180.28.59.165#top|talk]]) </small>
:A lot of what you call "goading" or "trying to paint you in a bad light" is people reminding you that you shouldn't call anything you disagree with "vandalism" and threaten users over it. I'll also add that you have repeatedly been making personal attacks, including [[Special:Diff/1208673072|in edit summaries here today]] (saying {{tq|remove more shite from WANKyk}}). Given your recent block, I think you should really be more careful with this kind of behavior.

*I've blocked Pankeyk as a sock.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 16:35, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
*:Respectfully, I suggest also looking at the behavior of the IP who brought the case to ANI, and their habit of making personal attacks and threatening blocks against any editor they disagree with. Whether or not Pankeyk is indeed a sock, some of the personal attacks against them and others were pretty unacceptable. [[User:Chaotic Enby|<span style="color:#8a7500">Chaotıċ <span style="display:inline-flex;rotate:30deg;color:#9e5cb1">Enby</span></span>]] ([[User talk:Chaotic Enby|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Chaotic Enby|contribs]]) 16:44, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
*:@[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]]: I feel like there is more going on here than just Avelina and Pankeyk and the IP being the same person, this ip ([[Special:Contributions/2601:646:8003:6B20:2097:9C0C:8198:774C|2601:64...98:774C]]), in the /64 range that you just blocked, had previously tried to appeal what seems to have been an autoblock, which unfortunately they did not elaborate on. Although absent of any other evidence I don't want to speculate and cast aspersions.
*:-
*:The OP, as I have pointed out before* is also someone who has used multiple IPs before and is currently blocked in a few ranges: [[Special:PermaLink/1208752518#User_contributions_for_180.28.59.165|permalink]]
*:(*I didn't give any diffs then, but their general attitude in talk pages and reverts are all the same type and all happened recently)
*:That said, @[[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]]'s 10 day block on the OP feels sufficient for now, it's a different IP range anyways.
*:&ndash; [[Special:Contributions/2804:F14:809C:9001:DDFB:94F6:6529:2AC0|2804:F14:809C:9001:DDFB:94F6:6529:2AC0]] ([[User talk:2804:F14:809C:9001:DDFB:94F6:6529:2AC0|talk]]) 20:28, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
*'''OP blocked'''. The start of this conflict by the OP, as described by themselves above, is very strange. Immediately on the expiration of  their block for disruption towards other editors, especially for labeling innocuous edits "vandalism" and bothering and threatening the users who made those edits, they pick another fight in exactly the same way, ignoring everything they had been told. [[Special:Diff/1207915609|The diff they "warned" the IPv6 about]] was clearly not vandalism - the worst you can say about it is that it was indeed "unnecessary". All the unpleasantness following, as detailed by 180.28.59.165 (most of it from their own battleground attitude), stemmed from this original "warning". 180.28.59.165 obviously learned nothing from their first block, nor from the advice they received during it. I'm trying a '''block of 10 days''' to see what that can do.  [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] &#124; [[User talk:Bishonen|tålk]] 17:59, 18 February 2024 (UTC).

*'''Bad close''' Still ongoing discussion closed only a few hours after the latest comment, with questions still open about the IPs mentioned above. Also uncomfortable about having a user blocked on suspicions of sockpuppetry provided by someone clearly acting in bad faith (and now themselves blocked). This case should have been given a little more time to review the situation.

MakaveliReed has been active recently on a number of /64 ranges in the Chicago area. He got blocked yesterday at [[Special:Contributions/2601:240:CD01:F7A4:0:0:0:0/64]], but was active before that and after that on other /64 ranges. Today he re-appeared on [[Special:Contributions/2601:240:CD01:22E6:B455:12A9:7A68:25CC]].

{{userlinks|Bolt Kjerag}} has been imposing POV edits using a website they claim to be a reliable and “official” source self-proclaiming electoral fraud in [[2024 Pakistani general election]] despite multiple warnings by other users over its provenance and partisanship. This led to the election page being protected to prevent them from hammering down their source, whereupon they moved to [[Electoral fraud in Pakistan]] to impose their exact same edits again with disregard for concerns raised by editors over the same reasons and even going as far as to place highlights on their citations in a bid to [[WP:SOAPBOX]], claiming it to be not ordinary and even official data from a “reliable”, “well-researched” website that screams ELECTORAL FRAUD at the very beginning and was created for the sole purpose of disseminating such ideas. Furthemore they have sidestepped wiki decorum by demanding all discussions be held in their talk page rather than the page they’re tampering with. As of now they are currently edit-warring despite two warnings on their talk page.

== Jonharojjashi; concerning edits and suspected meatpuppetry ==
{{userlinks|Jonharojjashi}}

These past months there have been a surge of "new" users making the same [[WP:TENDENTIOUS]] edits, making use of the same (poor/misused) sources, all in India-related (generally war/battle) articles, many of them being the exact same topic, including poorly written *insert Indian victory here* articles. Because of this, I made two SPIs which go into a lot more detail about this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Jonharojjashi] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mr_Anonymous_699/Archive], but they were mostly fruitless. Which leads me think this surely must be meat puppetry; one thing is that two similar users emerge around the same time, but several? (even more have emerged since the latest two SPIs) No way.

Jonharojjashi is still continuing these problematic edits. Besides creating two poorly written non-notable articles to get a cheap "Gupta (Indian) victory" ([[Gupta conquests of Bengal]] and [[Extermination of Nagadhatta]]), they're making a [[WP:POVFORK]] variant of [[Kingdom of Khotan]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Jonharojjashi/sandbox&oldid=1207642199], trying to push a legendary story obviously not supported by [[WP:RS]] to Indianize the [[Kingdom of Khotan]]. Remember the meatpuppetry I mentioned earlier? Well, just coincidentally not long ago one of the users that Jonharojjashi was suspected to be connected to in the SPI, also attempted to Indianize the topic in the article itself [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kingdom_of_Khotan&diff=prev&oldid=1191728020]. More proof that this can't all be a coincidence. --[[User:HistoryofIran|HistoryofIran]] ([[User talk:HistoryofIran|talk]]) 14:26, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

:Seems like Jonharojjashi is now attempting to retaliate against some of those users who have shown concerns with their edits, including me. They made a poorly made SPI, trying to connect me with random users from completely different backgrounds and interests...

::::Pardon me? Please refrain from suggesting that we are colluding to "target newcomers" by lumping everyone together. I specifically addressed certain accounts that were engaging in edit wars for a specific agenda. Additionally, I pointed out the creation of articles like "Battle of X" and "Siege of X" without proper sourcing, relying solely on invented names. While there's no issue with creating such articles if reliable sources mention them verbatim, here we've observed multiple articles being created with invented names to favor a specific perspective. When concerns are raised about these articles, they are met with coordinated pushback and even the removal of AFD tags [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kanishka%27s_war_with_Parthia&diff=prev&oldid=1176817704&title=Kanishka%27s_war_with_Parthia&diffonly=1]. Many newcomers contribute constructively to contentious topics, and their efforts are valued. However, creating articles with less notability and inventing names for battles and sieges are discouraged. It's crucial to remember that Wikipedia is a collaborative project aimed at expanding knowledge, not for personal agendas or gratification. I recommend submitting your drafts for Articles for Deletion (AFD) review instead of moving them to mainspace unilaterally, especially since multiple concerns have been raised.

The article has seen a revert war that went to a bazillionRR, with an IP /64 range removing content and an inexperienced editor with an account countering them revert for revert. I don't have time this morning to fully sort it out,but I think admin eyes are needed in any case, since it appears to me that there's some off-wiki organizing going on to insert a POV at odds with sourcing. The talkpage is seeing some soapboxing and the inevitable "watch this video to see the truth" recommendation. The article probably needs semi-protection for a longish term.

Hello, administrators. So I have come to raise concerns about the [[Sydney Sweeney]] page. This user is continuously adding an image (in which previously they stated to "reflect her true beauty"). We have repeatedly reverted it, telling them not to do so without giving any adequate explanation or even taking it to the talk page, and this user refuses to listen or heed by the comments I put in my edit summary.

== Vandalism by user @TimothyBlue ==

@[[User:TimothyBlue|TimothyBlue]]

Hello, I would just like to report one user who has recently taken a very strong stance on my articles. He has been bashfully marking articles written by me as unreviewed, despite the fact that they have been previously verified. He deletes my entries despite the fact that I have added references to them to verified sources. He accuses me of plagiarism, unprofessionalism and using bad sources. 

Here is a small outline of the whole situation:

1. it all started with the fact that this user added hundreds of notes to the article <nowiki>''List of wars and conflicts involving Poland'' under the title ''citation needed'' even to those that already had their own separate article. I reminded him of this and we began to discuss the issue on the ''talk''</nowiki> page of the article, after a short discussion the user in question was unable to present credible arguments and his only goal in my opinion was to vandalize that page.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1206061187][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1206063769][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1206062386][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1206060795][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1206062945][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1206064254]

2. So he began to take revenge on my articles by marking many of them as unreviewed despite the fact that they had been previously reviewed, he began to slander my articles as if they were of poor quality and I should not write any more, he added many notes to my articles that were intended to get rid of them.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SebbeKg#Sourcing_on_English_Wikipedia][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Zsarn%C3%B3ca&diff=prev&oldid=1208220031][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wojciech_Komorowski&diff=prev&oldid=1208221146][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Chronicle][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_wars_between_Germans_and_Poles#Color_coding]

3. Although our main dispute was about the article "List of wars involving Poland" which this user vandalized, he claimed that Polish uprisings, invasions, rebellions, raids, civil wars, coups. and many similar entries had no place there because, in his opinion, they did not belong to the <nowiki>''war'' category, I tried to explain to him that these entries fit there, and that every single article titled ''List of wars'' is structured similarly, although I partially helped him and started adding appropriate references to all entries that did not yet have their own website. Polish medieval chronicles describing specific events in detail, historical books etc. To which the user replied that I was still wrong and started adding a 'verification failed'</nowiki> note to them.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_and_conflicts_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1208728130][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_and_conflicts_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1208551685][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_and_conflicts_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1208183246][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_wars_and_conflicts_involving_Poland&diff=prev&oldid=1208182164]

4. Yesterday, despite my assurances and warnings, this user went all out and deleted half of the entries from a given article, which made me angry and I decided to write to support for help.

When it comes to my articles, I have absolutely no problem with criticizing them because I am not flawless and I can make mistakes, however, when someone vandalizes them in a certain way, I cannot turn a blind eye to it and pretend that nothing is happening over each of the articles. I worked many hours, donated a lot of my free time to create them, and now one user who decided he didn<nowiki>'t like them decided to vandalize them, which really upset me. So, coming to the point, is there any chance to minimize the damage that a given user commits to my articles, especially the article ''List of wars involving Poland''? Would it be possible to block this user'</nowiki>s access to editing a given article, I work very hard to improve it, every day I add new pages I create to it, and this user destroys all my hard work with just a few clicks...

*[[User:SebbeKg]], I suggest withdrawing this topic and returning to the discussion at [[Talk:List of wars and conflicts involving Poland]] before you're hit with a [[WP:BOOMERANG]]. You should also avoid words like "slander", which approaches a legal threat (see [[WP:NLT]]) and "vandalism", which has a narrow definition on Wikipedia (see [[WP:VAND]]). It's clear that TimothyBlue is engaging in good-faith editing and cleanup of [[List of wars and conflicts involving Poland]]; this is not vandalism. And after reading through the article, it ''does'' need cleanup. I mean, you're citing [[Jan Długosz]], someone who's been dead for more than 500 years, rather than contemporary sources. Two editors have pointed out to you that your sources don't verify the claims being made. This is a ''very big deal'' on Wikipedia, as [[WP:V|verifiability]] is one of our core content policies. My advice is to listen to TimothyBlue and Annwfwn, who have much more experience with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

::Hello @[[User:Woodroar|Woodroar]], yes, you are right, this article has many pages that do not have their own pages, and some of them need cleanup/their own page or appropriate references, although this is what I am currently working on. Yes, of course, Jan Długosz has been dead for 500 years and many chroniclers are not 100% reliable, but I wrote to this user that in the next few days I will be adding references to these entries also to other works, not only Długosz. However, as I wrote, my problem is that the author deletes entries that already have their own pages discussing specific topics in detail. Please see the links I provided in point no. 1 of my comment. What is the reason for quoting or deleting Polish military operations during World War II, Polish uprisings, civil wars that already have their articles? If TimothyBlue wants to clean up this article, let him delete or add  notes to entries that do not yet have their own article, and this is mainly the <nowiki>''Piast Poland'' and ''Feudal Fragmentation''</nowiki> sections, although there is no need to delete entries that have already been extensively described in separate articles and as shown in the links in no. 4 of my comment, the author deleted all very important for the Polish Wikipedia community, Polish uprisings and almost every conflict in the 20th century...

:::This is a dispute about the inclusion criteria at [[List of wars and conflicts involving Poland]]. Acceptable entries in such lists must either have their own well-referenced articles, or a reference to a reliable source must be provided for the entries. It should be obvious that modern scholarship is vastly preferable to a 500 year old source, because if that old source is useful, it would have been checked and analyzed by modern scholars. {{u|SebbeKg}}, I recommend that you apologize and withdraw this report, which amounts to an extended personal attack on an editor trying to enforce Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

On the [[2024 Bathurst 12 Hour]] article, [[User:KusumaSPMTickford]] twice made sweeping edits disregarding the above. Having reverted the first set and provided reason through the edit summary, the user then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Bathurst_12_Hour&diff=prev&oldid=1209164800 reverted my edits]. Following this, I warned the user on [[User talk:KusumaSPMTickford#2024_Bathurst_12_Hour|their talk page]] about their behaviour in an attempt to avoid [[WP:3RR|3RR]]; however, the user then subsequently made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Bathurst_12_Hour&diff=prev&oldid=1209310428 another] unconstructive edit.

As this user has been warned four previous times for misconduct ([[User talk:KusumaSPMTickford#October_2020|here]], [[User_talk:KusumaSPMTickford#January_2021|here]], [[User talk:KusumaSPMTickford#April_2021|here]] and [[User talk:KusumaSPMTickford#November_2023|here]]), has been warned twice over copyright infringements ([[User talk:KusumaSPMTickford#Image_without_license|here]] and [[User talk:KusumaSPMTickford#File_source_problem_with_File:Indy_NXT_Series_logo.png|here]]), and has been banned once ([[User talk:KusumaSPMTickford#January_2021|here]]), it is clear that a more permanent solution needs to be put in place.

Hello I am KhantWiki, I usually edit famous individuals from [[Myanmar]] and I have edited one general from Myanmar who is Zaw Min Tun. From that history view of the article, someone with a IP address name called "180.183.230.178" used profanity about my edit on the edit history of the individual that I edited from Myanmar [[Zaw Min Tun (general)]]. Please warn him to stop using profanity and be respectful and if he continues to do so even if he don't, he will get banned forever. Even if he don't like my edits, he has no right to curse and use profanity freely and comfortably on Wikipedia, let alone say it to a user which is me. Here's the proof.

:Allow me just to observe one thing. Its just so happens, that the 3 users who are active on the mentioned Battle of Bakhmut talk page, and happen to be the vast minority who keep pushing this agenda that the battle is not over, is a Ukrainian victory, and other stuff that is clearly not true, also just happen to stumble upon this here, and ask for my ban. Interesting. Unlikely I would call it, but ok.
:Both Slaterstever, ManyAreasExpert and Cinderella157, only one of which I have ever directly adressed, all prefer the article to not state the result of the battle, which is clearly infuriating everyone who has any integrity whatsoever.
:The RfC results currently has 16 votes, 14 of them want it called a Russian victory. 2 of them don't. Slatersteven and ManyAreasExpert, both of which happen to want me gone. The third one, Cinderella157 added another option to the rfc, which is another way to not say its a russian victory. No one voted it, including them. Guess they don't like losing.
:In total, I don't mind getting banned. I probably deserve it, and its not like I edit anything anyway. I never edited a thing on the page either to be clear, nor have I ever intended to. I only left comments in the talk page, because, just like dozens of others, I was stupefied by what these people are doing with their agendas. They are intentionally distorting the truth, through "fair" wiki mechanics, but its outraging everyone who comes across it. 
:Just becuase they are polite, doesn't mean their intentions are good. They are clearly leaving the article in a state that no one except for them wants (going off of the RfC results, but also common sense).
:Again, ban be sure, but wonder why a battle for a town taken in May 2023 took 6 months to get an end date on wikipedia, and why it still has no result of the battle stated?

:::I agree, I never disputed me deserving a ban.
:::Just pointing out, that the emergence of people like myself, along with the behavior, is triggered by Wikipedia giving 'editors' like the couple of them on the Battle of Bakhmut page safe heaven to push political or ideological agendas.
:::Why did that battle take 6 months to get an end date, even though the end date that is now shown was clear the day it was proclaimed? You could maybe argue about 1-2 days up or down, but all the news, all the media stated that Bakhmut was lost in May 2023. And they, these editors, took all the available tools they had, for it to remain as 'ongoing' for as long as possible. After they exhausted their options with that, they turned to the result, and suddenly, its 'unclear' who the winner is, even though one side clearly took control of the town during the battle. And they are, again, using the same modus operandi, just dragging this process, for reasons known only to them.
:::And if you look at the talk page, you will see its not just me, its dozens of users who are expressing all kinds of issues with the page being bad. Most of it is instantly closed and archived ofc, by said editors.
:::You can debate things that are debatable ofc, but when something is so clear, as the result and duration of this battle is, having it lag for what is gonna be probably a whole year, to reflect on Wikipedia, is really just hurting Wikipedia as a whole, FAR more than my, I will not fight you on that, rude outburts on the talk page.

For my part, I was the editor that opened the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=prev&oldid=1198245842 recent RfC] that altered the scope of the article and argued for the change of scope that has led to the battle being considered to be over. The closer indicated there was nuance to the result. Nuance cannot be captured in an infobox but should be discussed in the ''aftermath'' section of the article that did not exist. I have only ever advocated that the result should be vacated until the ''aftermath'' section is reasonably developed and is supported by the ''aftermath'' section.

My friend, which uses the [[User:AudiGuy-1204]] account, has been editing very weirdly before I even started to edit, and after he got blocked, by repeatedly resetting my modem, he started to vandalize articles of mostly [[anime]], [[music]] or car-type articles. This lasted for more than a year.

Last day, AudiGuy reappeared, this time thinking an typo was an different name of a car, then added swastikas to AIV and an admin's talk page, but I entirely took over internet access of my friend. He can no longer edit.

I am not AudiGuy. I will create an new account, which is named identically (despite being not him): [[User:ToyotaGuy8811|ToyotaGuy8811]]. I don't like Audi, as it moves forward to having an range only featuring [[electric vehicle]]s.

Now I have edited some of AudiGuy's redirects to be targeted to more relevant articles. AudiGuy started editing in August 2022 as IPs, before creating the account in October and getting blocked mid-November. After that, he continued to edit as an IP until he repeatedly got blocked for block evasion, and the vandalism starts here. The first sock of him as far as I know, was [[user:Bucks Meet Weebs|Bucks Meet Weebs]], which is an anime-related humorous [[backronym]] of the [[BMW|Bavarian Motor Works]].

He has repeatedly harassed the anime article editor, Harushiga, creating impostor accounts of them.

He recently started to add swear words and Nazi swastikas, and the vandalism has gone multilingual, vandalizing mostly the [[Turkish Wikipedia]], but also the [[List of Wikipedias|Japanese, German, French and Dutch Wikipedias.]]

I am not AudiGuy, nor even a block evasion of him.

Thank you for all your response. 

My friend is also an huge car guy, and he created numereous accounts and harassed admins, and I keep getting blocked and all of my constructive edits get reverted, and whenever I post an unblock request, the admins simply think I'm lying or trolling, when it is the fact that [[WP:COWORKER|I'm closely related to him]].

{{userlinks|Greghenderson2006}} was p-blocked from article space in August 2023: [[User_talk:Greghenderson2006/Archive_12#August_2023]] and unblocked in December: [[User_talk:Greghenderson2006/Archive_17#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation:_Ferdinand_Burgdorff_has_been_accepted]] for UPE and problematic sourcing.
However their promises less than three months later are resoundly and regularly broken: [[User_talk:Greghenderson2006#Please_stop_the_COI_editing]] {{tq|You are right, I forgot I was a distant relative of the guy.}} might be believable with a new editor, but not with someone of Greg's history. [[User_talk:Greghenderson2006/Archive_17#Hazel_Watrous]], ''immediately'' after the block was lifted shows their ongoing issues with sources have not improved and there's more of the same at: [[User_talk:Greghenderson2006#Draft:Santa_Clara_Verein]]. Too much editor time and energy is spent trying to fix Greg's content when it's clear he has no interest in changing his behavior. This is especially problematic when he's paid and volunteer time has to be spent cleaning up. I believe it's time to re-instated the p-block which will allow him to use edit requests and article talk pages to propose his edits as well as improve his articles in draft space, which has been suggested multiple times. 

'''Note''' I'm not going to ping anyone but the un/blocking admins as there are fewer editors supporting Greg's reinstatement than opposing and I want to avoid any indication of canvassing. I will of course notify him directly on his talk. Thank you! For the purposes of disclosure, I'm noting I did just !vote delete in an article of theirs at AfD but my proposal would allow them to continue participating there so I don't think there's an issue. <span style="font-family:Calibri; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#a117f2;">Star</span>]] [[User talk:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#df00fe;">Mississippi</span>]]</span> 22:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Since November 2023, I have written 11 new articles, 8 have been reviewed and accepted into the article space. In January and February 2024 alone, I have cleaned over 30 articles. I acknowledge my past involvement in problematic COI editing and have worked hard to earn trust again. I have consistently used the review process and have responded to requests from my fellow editors. An article-space block will limit my ability to help cleanup articles and make improvements to existing articles.

*'''Support''' indefinite mainspace block. I do not find Greg's explanations convincing. He has repeatedly affirmed that he will abide by the rules for COI editing, but he claims to not have an understanding of those same rules every few years (per {{noping|Melcous}}). On February 9 in this discussion, he claimed {{tq|I am not doing any paid editing.}} Yet, on January 28{{emdash}}less than two weeks before he made that claim{{emdash}}he added improperly sourced material back to two articles he wrote for paid clients (per {{noping|Left guide}}), and he now claims that he was unaware that that would constitute COI editing. Greg has already been blocked from the mainspace for UPE and sourcing issues, and he immediately continued the same behavior when the block was lifted (per {{noping|Star Mississippi}}). At this point, an indefinite mainspace block is needed to prevent continued COI disruption; Greg should still be allowed to make edit requests and discuss other issues on article talk pages.

*'''Support''' - an indefinite mainspace block or an indefinite site ban. This is based on all of above and the vast number of concerns on his talk page and archives (and article talk pages). The behaviors still exist today even after multiple concerns being communicated over the years, a block, and many editors devoting time and attention to trying teach and mentor this editor for longer than a decade. It's a huge time sink for the community. Problems persist re: COI, UPE, repeated use poor-quality sources and writing puffed-up or promotional content that is an exaggeration of or doesn't exist in the sources, or is original research. It seems clear that CIR and IDHT are also relevant.  [[User:Netherzone|Netherzone]] ([[User talk:Netherzone|talk]]) 16:56, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

* '''Update''' The basic premise “Greg’s ongoing issues with sources have not improved” is not true. I have improved and my recent articles and my updates show this improvement (see my user page for current articles created and updated at [[User:Greghenderson2006]]). Per WP policy [[WP:INDEF]] an indefinite block is “usually applied when there is significant disruption or threats of disruption, or major breaches of policy.” I have improved Wikipedia and added value. I believe the articles I have edited or created are examples of expanding the scope of Wikipedia.

== [[User:Bobak]] ==

I've never interacted with this user before today (that I know of), but they are verbally attacking me over essentially nothing, tripling down on it, and now attacking [[User:Drmies]] as well (see Bobak's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bobak&action=history talk page history]). A quick check shows an ongoing problem:

* "Take your straight-up internet bullying harassment and go tell someone who cares. This is why good editors don't want anything to do with you lifers." ([[Special:Diff/1209629879/1209694975]])
* "who, specifically, was I attacking? LOL." ([[Special:Diff/1209612188/1209618671]])
* "what a waste of human effort" ([[Special:Diff/1209304146/1209394924]]). 
* "who the hell cares" ([[Special:Diff/1207122171/1207138340]]) 
* "I love how this indicated that someone had no idea "California State University" is a 23-university *SYSTEM* with nearly a half-million students. Do any of you check your work? Then think "hmm, I bet google would give me a little additional data" -- no? Not any of you?" ([[Special:Diff/1207992908/1209395413]]) 

This started when they verbally insulted me out of the blue over what was essentially a minor typo (calling me "incredibly lazy" [[Special:Diff/1206450949/1209494134]]). Other editors have noted their snark is uncalled for ([[User:TAnthony]]: "You don't get to be snarky about perceived laziness when you don't bother formatting your citation" [[Special:Diff/1209395413/1209406940]]). 

I don't see prior history of this kind of behavior, in ANI or their talk page, prior to about 2 weeks ago. Has the account been hijacked?

* I have been making genuine, useful contributions to this page for roughly a week now, and have [https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Elijahtree&page=Al-Duraji&server=enwiki&max= made 21 edits thus far.] I cleaned up, added information, and removed hazy information made my prior contributors without bias, for instance I removed a not so notable tribesman from the Notable's list [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1208889538 seen here]. And rewording some fairly opinionated language, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1208885464 seen here.]

* Problems arose when this user first began to edit the page, you can tell by the demeanor and clear biases in his edits that he was not trying to make relevant, useful edits to this page but instead the opposite:<br>

{{Collapse|1=[[File:SCR-20240224-cgvw.png|thumb|Bombardment of edits]]|float=center}}

* He made a one or two good edits, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al-Duraji&diff=1209631939&oldid=1209631000 such as removing the YouTube citations (which where not added by me), and removed the Kuwait section due to these citations.] Although he could have searched this information up to verify it's authenticity, to which I found that it is, as mentioned on known Arabic media outlets<ref>https://www.rudawarabia.net/arabic/middleeast/iraq/160220178</ref>, but I chalked it up to this user being not knowledgable in the Arabic language and just wanted the satisfaction of ruining someone's work and research.

* Problems arose when he took it upon himself to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al-Duraji&diff=1209632298&oldid=1209631939 "remove non-notables"], where he took it upon himself to judge who was well-known enough to stay and who had to go. I began to question this user's underlying intentions when I found that he removed arguably the two most known people on the list. One of them even having roughly 4.5 million followers on Instagram.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/hafidderradji/?hl=en</ref> I then formally warned him over the cont. comments saying:

''"re-added Hafid, and Abdul-Jabbar to the Notable Clan Members list. Please do not remove anyone from the Notable Clan list if you '''personally do not know them'''. This is an '''Arab''' tribe and these people are a lot more known compared the the other two in the '''Arab regions'''. If you '''do not come from an Arab background''' please do not '''assume you know best''' and just remove people for not having a Wikipedia page on the English directory"''

* I do not know how I could have made it more clear that I skimmed through his logs and found that he has no connection to this region and should not make any haphazard edits which ruins the page. I did find other behaiviour which I wanted to raise to the Wikipedia administrators which I found to be against the Project's fundamental principles, which I will get to next. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al-Duraji&diff=1209837320&oldid=1209803278 User responded by reverting back and ignoring my warning,] further commenting:

''"Lots of '''problematic''' additions. '''Most''' of the sourcing '''looks suspect (Getty Images, e.g.?)''' reverted, take to talk page, please"''

* This is where my clear red-flags appeared, I knew this user was trying to sway the information of the article to something which suits him. The "problematic" additions was referring to the 'Victims of War' subsection I added, which was fully cited and syntaxed in a professional manner. No reason to suggest this to be problematic unless to quietly censor information pertaining to a specific narrative. He then further goes on to suggest that "most" of the sources are suspect. Most of the sources are in Arabic as you see, and I assume this clear unusual user is suggesting anything in Arabic is suspect. He then justifies his actions by bringing up the sole one Getty Images citation. This either shows he is being manipulative since this information was already mentioned in the previously cited source, and I just added the Getty Images citation for some extra information and a visual. Or this user did not even go through the informaiton and just wanted to find any reason to justify reverting back.

{{Collapse|1=[[File:SCR-20240224-cyto-3.png|thumb|User purposefully clogging logs with useless edits to either obfuscate his clear vandalism, or make it seem like he is providing the page with plenty high-quality edits.]]|float=center}}

* As seen above, to cut a long story short, he further ignored my requests for him to stop removing information from the page for no reason twice, making it three times he vandalised the page, and to rub salt in the wound he claimed that I was disrupting the page and claimed that if I revert back to the original uncensored page, an Admin will block my editing privilages. I assume he thought since I am a fairly new user I wouldn't know how to escalate this user for review and would just keep quiet. I would like to also pay close attention on his editing style, being that he populates the log with a rapid burst of substandard edits in quick succession. Described in the extended content above.<br>

{{Collapse|1=[[File:SCR-20240224-dhsu.png|thumb|User began warning me in an attempt to getting me banned from the editting the page. Seemingly ignores any communication with me and just waits for me to revert back to warn again minutes after re-reverting. Extremely manipulative behaiviour, seemingly targetting what he thinks is a new user to forcefully stop them from editting?]]|float=center}}<br>

I hope the admin's notice through this detailed report and screenshots what this user's main undertaking behind his aggressive interference against my edits, and clear attempt of suppressing my future edits from, ironically, the page which I contributed most to in recent days and they contributed ''nil''. It is a smart yet extrememly disingenuous approach in censoring views which differ with his. He was extremely quick to send me the three warning when I reverted his removals, yet '''ignored''' to [[User talk:Elijahtree|all my responses on my talk page]]; even when he [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1209921723 verbatim asked me to respond to him on it], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1209837320 twice]. This would leave me, or any other victim, with no other choice but to keep reverting his vandalism, until they had enough warnings to get the original editor blocked from future edits. This would have probably worked if I was new to Wikipedia and had no idea about how to complain, unfortunately for him that isn't the case today.

This type of manipulation should be looked into from this user and why he was showing a clear bias against showing the IDF in a less favorable manner? The reason why I donate to Wikipedia and take my time researching and writing edits is due to this project's commitment to spreading genuine information. This user's censorship truly rubbed me the wrong way. Thus, looking through his logs to confirm any suspicions I gathered from this user's edit history, here are screenshots arguing the following agendas/behaviours shown by this user:

=== toxicity, disruptive user: ===

{{Collapse|1=[[File:An_experienced_edit_war_trooper.png|thumb|has had previous involvment in edit wars to push his narrative above the rest, yet blame me for inciting an edit war?]]|float=center}}
{{Collapse|1=[[File:SCR-20240224-bdik.png|thumb|censors, more than contributes.]]|float=center}}

=== chauvinism, general political activity: ===
{{Collapse|1=[[File:SCR-20240223-upcp.png|thumb|the only page I saw him actively working on, didn't check if these were edit wars, but he seemed to be editing the Sound of Freedom a lot, and mentions QAnon a lot too, etc.]]|float=center}}
{{Collapse|1=[[File:SCR-20240223-upnc.png|thumb|calls another user disruptive for adding more detail differentiating. he seems to find a lot user disruptive.]]|float=center}}

=== other users complaints of his bias, aggressive editing, and pushing a one-sided narrative: ===

=== lastly, and most relevant to this page, Israeli/Judaism leaning bias; partial anti-Arabism: ===
==== <p style="font-variant:petite-caps">Anti-Arab Phraseology</p> ====
[[File:Reworded, didn't like positive wording.png|thumb|1) he wasn't a fan of the slighlty optismistic language describing a notable fact about the pyramid at Abu Rawash, and reworded the entire paragraph to sound monotone (which is good, yet there is a clear contradiction below).|left]]

[[File:Then further removed the entire sentence.png|thumb|2) funnily enough, a little more than 10 minutes later he decides this reworded piece doesn't fit and claims that since this (his reworded version) is about the pyramid and not Abu Rawash, I don't think it belongs here at all. This could be argued against, since stripping pyramids from Abu Rawash is like stripping water from a fish. And he further changed the interesting fact about the area regarding the pyramids, to a monotonous fact which seemed out of place. looks even a little purposeful from a third party spectating.|right]]


==== <p style="font-variant:petite-caps">Jewish-Bias Phraseology</p> ====

Alas presenting all this information of this user's behaviour, and returning back to the main issue with [[User:Fred Zepelin|Fred Zepelin]] disrupting my edits on the [[Al-Duraji]]. I kindly ask for Administrator to look into this user and his aggressive reversals for no reason. 

If it is possible to place a protection against this page please let me know. Of course please do also check through the citations/information looking for any problematic additions as this user claimed, since he did not expand nor explained what the problem was.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter<!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Elijahtree|Elijahtree]] ([[User talk:Elijahtree#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Elijahtree|contribs]]) 11:19, 24 February 2024 (UTC)</small>
:I can't pretend to have read all of the above, but simply note that neither party to this content dispute has posted at [[Talk:Al-Duraji]]. [[User:Phil Bridger|Phil Bridger]] ([[User talk:Phil Bridger|talk]]) 12:05, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
::i see, is that my responsibility or his? since I wasn't the one with the issue. He did post on my user talk page. Thanks for the heads up, and respect the honesty lol. [[User:Elijahtree|Elijahtree]] ([[User talk:Elijahtree|talk]]) 12:08, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
:::It is both of your responsibilities. [[User:Phil Bridger|Phil Bridger]] ([[User talk:Phil Bridger|talk]]) 12:10, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
:I am going to be plain, there is no use beating around the bush here.
:# The contributions Elijahtree has made are wrong for the reasons Fred Zepelin pointed out, they are not in accordance with Wikipedia content guidelines and policies, the ones they've linked and that that Elijahtree makes no mention of whatsoever, and they were right to revert them how they did. They should have posted on the talk page sooner. 
:# Fred's tone in each example you've posted is snippy at best, but is usually totally ordinary. They largely commented on the content, and Elijahtree decided at every possible opportunity to take it as a personal insult. I am not sure how it would be possible for Fred to raise their concerns without Elijahtree doing this, which means that they are likely going to have trouble collaborating with anyone that has different views than them, which is required on Wikipedia.  Fred's comments elsewhere are variously less acceptable.
:# Elijahtree's multiparagraph, multimedia post here is pure polemic and a completely unacceptable overreaction to the issues above. They have cast an aspersion on Fred for every 4 edits they've ever made. A low edit count is not a disqualifier from having grievances, but the fact that Elijahtree's has so quickly posted something like this in response to ordinary editorial remarks is telling to anyone with experience working in group settings.
:The snippiest remark Fred made to Elijahtree is not worth bringing up in any ANI theoretical discussion. Again, they should have posted on the talk page sooner. On the other hand, Elijahtree has convinced me in the span of one edit that they are [[WP:NOTHERE]], unfortunately, this is a [[WP:BOOMERANG]] case. 
:Elijahtree, you do not [[WP:own]] or have rights to any particular page, even ones you have personal feelings about. You have not been acting like this is the case, and as such, ordinary edits are personal insults. At no point have you [[WP:assumed good faith|assumed good faith]] from anyone who you haven't been using as evidence for your case. If you can't do that, then you will not find other editors to be more acceptable to you.

::<small>remsense,
::I see that kindness isn't really important in your response, so I will take you advice and respond snippily to attempt to understand what you are attempting to tell me. You have decided upon a few, weird, conclusions to take away in your assessment, and I can infer that you are not looking at this report from a neutral lens, and seemed to side with the reported user at all times; This response fits the role of Fred's defense attorny moreso than it does a nonpartisan moderator, not very just of you. The implication that my contributions are not in line with Wikipedia's guidelines is portrayed as an opinion rather than me breaking rules, you and Fred have both not given any ''specific examples'' or ''policies'' that I broke to substantiate such claims, which I could use to improve my edits and stop this user from censoring me. I am an Anthro. major at a great school, so I would hope I know how to cite correctly and I believe I ensured that my edits are well-researched and fully cited. Again, you have failed with showing me what policy I broke, merely saying this user is right isn't enough to prove what content guideline I broke. There are '''no YouTube articles''', nor is the '''Getty Images reference''' being used as a '''primary citation''' and can be removed if need be. Those are the only two examples they have managed to point out and you saying "they've linked and that that Elijahtree makes no mention of whatsoever" is just nonsensical jargon which doesn't make sense.
::1. The assertion that I have claimed ownership over the page is unfounded. You are falsely putting words in my mouth, please point me to one place where I asserted ownership in anyway since the word 'my' is not found. Enhancing an article with useful information is not equivalent to ownership; it is a contribution to the collective knowledge base that Wikipedia represents, I would assume you would understand that being an authority figure at Wikipedia. The reasoning behind the reversions made to my edits have been extremely vague and unexplained, which is counterproductive to this editing process. If there are concrete reasons for these reversions, they should be clearly articulated, allowing for a constructive dialogue. You stating "contributions Elijahtree has made are wrong for the reasons Fred Zepelin pointed out" is not helpful at all.
::2. My concern has never been about the tone of the discourse against my edits nor do I care at all; rather, it is the '''unwarranted''' '''reversion''' of my '''contributions''' that is at issue. I am focused on content, not personal sensitivities. The lack of clear communication as to why the edits are considered problematic is the crux of the matter. If you are referring to me simply pointing out this behaiviour going on in the past as me being emotional, then you are wrong. I just wanted to show that I am not the only one having this issue with this user.
::3. Mentioning the user's history was intended to shed light on a relevant pattern of behavior, and make it easier for the moderators to find all relevant information, not to provoke or overreact, and definitely not to "cast an aspersion". I have never reported anyone before and looking through some posts, I see I may have written this a little too professionally, yet never once was I disrespectful in my report, just pointing out what is public domain. If you see that as "completely unacceptable overreaction", then what do you consider your rage-filled response, a mental breakdown?
::simply looking at your final paragraph shows you either a. didn't read my report, b. are twisting what the report entails. here is bullet points:
::. "you do not WP:own or have rights to any particular page" = falsely accusing me saying such a thing. Do not make assumptions.
::. "even ones you have personal feelings about" = what? I am not a tribe member my name is Elijah. Nonsensical claim.
::. "You have not been acting like this is the case, and as such, ordinary edits are personal insults." = That made absolutely zero sense again, acting like what?, what case?, how did you derive this random conclusion. I have no idea where youa are getting the idea I am reporting my feelings getting hurt as opposed to censorship, did you read the title at least? More baseless assumptions?
::. "At no point have you assumed good faith from anyone who you haven't been using as evidence for your case" = What are you waffling about lol? good faith? the guy is reverted my edits, why are you making this all about emotions. I do not care about emotion, simply reporting exploitative reversions!!
::. "then you will not find other editors to be more acceptable to you" thanks for the random dig lol, you are very emotional which is very weird since not once did I mention insults or emotions or anything of the sort, your seemingly twisting it in such a way which I will not let you falsely do. Simply his censorship of cited data is the issue! and his history of doing this as shown above. I didn't ask you to ban him from the site, and if you seriously even suggest that your response is written from an impartial neauttral perspective such claim would be laughing. As I said, you did a good job acting as Fred's attorney, this was the most one-sided thing I have ever seen, You almost fully fabricated, twisted, and ignored every single point I brought up, and made this an emotional issue, when you seem to be the only emotionally charged person in this thread. I will request arbritration in hopes of showing this clearly corrupt, one-sided response. I literally even say he made two good edits in the beginning, but you are making it seem like I hate the guy. Wikipedia truly have to reconsider you having such a role in the community, since judging from a nonpartisian perspecting should be the most imporant this for such a role. I wish you well for your future endeavours.</small> [[User:Elijahtree|Elijahtree]] ([[User talk:Elijahtree|talk]]) 13:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

== Single-purpose editor not engaging in discussion at [[Pitof]] ==

Last fall, I came across [[Pitof]], an article about a French film director. It had a fair amount of unencyclopedic language, overdetail, unverified claims, and in general, possible promotionalism. I cleaned it up, but since January, {{u|Oscarwings}} has repeatedly re-added some or all of the removed material. They are a [[WP:SPA]] with an exclusive interest in Pitof and his career. I'm happy to discuss the changes with them, but per [[WP:ONUS]] the material should stay removed while we discuss. Repeated comments in edit summaries, talk page pings, and messages on their talk page have failed to garner any response. Oscarwings has never edited a talk page or any page not in article space. It's possible they simply are unaware, or they could be deliberately trying to fly under the radar. Not sure what the next best step is, but will go notify them on their talk page now per ANI rules. —[[User:Ganesha811|Ganesha811]] ([[User talk:Ganesha811|talk]]) 00:02, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

On February 8, 2024 {{u|Star Mississippi}} posted [[Special:Diff/1204278360|this]] final warning on a user's talk page. The following is my reasoning for why an administrator should follow up on that warning by applying blocks, as the behavior has continued.

On February 16, the same user has created and continued using another account, which is made plain by applying the duck test to this discussion: [[User talk:Alalch E./Archive 2#Thank you]].

The user is aware of the latest content to be published on the fairly obscure and blog-like news website ekran.mk, which is operated by two people (see [https://ekran.mk/impresum/ here]). They have been reacting to changes in the draft in real time by notifying me that a "latest" or "new" content has been published on said website, that incidentally offers solutions (superficially so) to the sourcing/notability deficiencies identified in the [[Draft:Aleksandar Saša Trajkovski]]. There were two instances of this. 
* In the first instance (see the first ekran.mk link on my talk page), after the draft was declined, a "news article" was published containg verbatim copies of a book's blurb and foreweword (предговор), written by the book publisher's editor-in-chief and technical editor. The content that is published is incredibly non-newsworthy to the point where one wonders why would this uninteresting and non-news-resembling content be published at such a random time. The user notifies me of this, describing this off-wiki spam as "a full critical look at Macedonian poets about Trajkovski's poetry". I wrote about this [[Special:Diff/1208460069|in an AfC comment]], and got [[Special:Diff/1208503210|the following]] (20:01, 17 February 2024) reply on my talk page. I was informed that I will be given "all the necessary information".
* In the second instance, soon afterwards, following my [[Special:Diff/1208522519|21:33, 17 February 2024 edit]] that removes an unverifiable claim that the writer's story was published in the book ''Different Worlds'', I am [[Special:Diff/1208633844|informed]] (08:47, 18 February 2024) that a source that purports that the writer has something to do with the book ("his first book anthology project") has just appeared—on 18 February: https://ekran.mk/aleksandar-sasha-trajkovski-so-nova-kniga-antologija-razlichni-svetovi/ ... clearly in response to my edit.

There is off-wiki-coordinated promotional activity that generates off-wiki spam in response to what is happening with the draft.

There are other accounts in this COI cluster, noteworthily, the [https://guc.toolforge.org/?by=date&user=Hristijan+Kicho draft creator]. See this for some background, which connects the draft subject as an autobiographer, the off-wiki spammer, and the draft creator: [[:mk:Special:History/Разговор:Александар Т.]].

All this is really incredibly banal, and it would be possible to ignore it on the side of conduct and keep managing things on the side of AfC (by simply not accepting the draft), but I believe that the pattern should be recognized and recorded somewhere for the future.—[[User talk:Alalch E.|Alalch E.]] 12:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

This user has just today opened an array of AFDs without any discernible policy-based rationale ([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anne Boden]], [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ellen Alemany]]), draftified articles like [[Silicon Valley]], and proposed articles for speedy deletion that have a clear indication or assertion of notability.

=== လူကောင်း and deletions ===

{{userlinks|လူကောင်း}} created their account in May 2023 and has about 440 edits. They appear to be obsessed with deletion, at least lately. I came across them because they tagged [[Bank of Balochistan]], [[Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust]], and [[Bob Meyer]] as [[WP:A7]]. I declined all the A7s, but the Meyer tag was really over the top. Then, when I looked at their contribution history, they have been cranking out AfDs like a pitching machine (gee, a sports metaphor). Their nominating statement seems to be always the same: "Delete, Not valid for wikipedia." Not the a typical rationale. I have not talked to them.  Doesn't look like they talk, anyway.--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 23:47, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

While your action could be viewed as virtuous as a mediator, you inherently risked a lot by making incorrect judgements based on incorrect assumptions.
:This all started with a very long content dispute between me and ManyAreasExpert. We often indicated that we viewed one another as biased as we tried to reach balance in the [[Battle of Bakhmut]] page. There were a lot of talk page discussions about sources, estimates, attribution, etc. But after a long time and especially after this [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1149#Academic sources removal in favor of trickster POV pushing, WP:BATTLEGROUND|improper ANI ticket]], the dispute seemed to have mostly cooled off. I even made two humble replies, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1208513215] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Battle_of_Bakhmut&diff=next&oldid=1208575016], in a particularly contentious discussion there, [[Talk:Battle of Bakhmut#IISS removal from Aftermath section]]. Sadly, he never answered them. I gave him the best chance to properly "make peace", but at least it was clear (if you follow the edit history of that section) that we had pretty much settled. I don't remember exactly if we talked to each other elsewhere after that episode. If we did, it must have been very minimal and cold, as expected.
:That was until the latest episode. I once again repeatedly raised a concern about the neutrality and balance of an article, this time the [[The Vladimir Putin Interview|Vladimir Putin Interview]] article. I tried to defend my argument of keeping the {{tl|Unbalanced section}} templates in some article sections for longer. I was discussing against 3 other editors. Needless to say, I felt backed into a corner and was nearing submission by numbers. The 3 editors, Rsk6400, Tdmurlock and Asarlaí, had all previously contributed to the article and were giving reasonable arguments, which I partially disagreed with. But then, out of nowhere (it was his first participation in the whole page), came ManyAreasExpert harassing me and "adding salt to injury" by making the majority even more overwhelming and also accusing me of {{tq|continuation of a pattern of not adhering to [[WP:RS]] and [[WP:BALANCE]] and diminishing reliable sources in favor of (what?)}}. Then he explicitly linked to the previous ANI ticket, something which I had already vehemently condemned before. And he obviously knew it because in the previous episode he masked the link, as I requested, to not make it as provocative. It's like you're in the middle of a job interview and then comes some random person ''remembering'' everyone that I had a ''criminal record''. I view that action as extremely inappropriate.
:So how should I reply to someone who clearly comes to a new discussion only to attack and discredit me (and apparently holding a grudge over some ''unfinished'' dispute)? Nicely? Give me a break. I even thought about creating an ANI ticket because of it, but I thought it was unnecessary and would consume too much of my time (something [time consumption] I'm trying to decrease recently). So I gave him a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=prev&oldid=1209562242 very harsh response] indeed. {{tq|You're asking for it!!!}} was an ANI threat, the most unfortunate part of the reply. I wouldn't have wanted to repeat it if such incident happened again. In general, I tried to be very cautious with personal attacks. I.e. when I said {{tq|disgusting}} I was clearly referring to the {{tq|grudge}}, not him. I also showed frustration that my apology in the Battle of Bakhmut talk page was not reciprocated. But, <u>most importantly</u>, I gave him an option to de-escalate the situation and make me completely retract my comment: {{tq|I urge you to remove that link once again. If you do, I'll remove most if not all of this reply.}} And so he wisely did, and masked the link. As I promised, I completely retracted my original comment and substituted it with a cold but more respectuful reply: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=prev&oldid=1209563343][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=next&oldid=1209563343]. The {{tq|I know from where you're coming from.}} part refers to the previous content dispute of the Battle of Bakhmut page and has absolutely nothing to with nationality, so control your imagination, please. Though only ManyAreasExpert would know that, hence the importance of <u>him</u> raising an ANI ticket if <u>he</u> felt threatened, not other observers who don't know the background.
:The issue was solved, albeit quite bluntly. However, Rsk6400, in good faith, decided to be the sheriff/judge and proceeded with ''pocking the wound'' again in [[User talk:Alexiscoutinho#February 2024|my talk page]], blindly defending ManyAreasExpert, and also by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=next&oldid=1209566203 reverting my retraction] of the original comment and then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=next&oldid=1209722502 deleting it again]. Why?! What were you trying to achieve, seriously? The issue was over, the {{tq|where you're coming from}} had nothing to do with personal identity, and the issue wasn't about you. It even feels like [[WP:BAIT]]. I then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=next&oldid=1209724625 rejected his fragile intervention], the edit summary speaks for itself.
:Obviously my conduct wasn't exemplary, but so were the others', and, given the context, I believe my strong frustration was understandable. But, in conclusion, I would like to ask for ManyAreasExpert to stop provoking me and for Rsk6400 to be very cautious when asserting yourself as a mediator when you don't know the context, and could consequently be partial, EDIT: because I can bite, especially if I feel cornered. 😉

*The primary assertion is that the statement, {{tq|I know from where you're coming from}} is a PA. Seriously! {{U|HandThatFeeds}} correctly identifies the reasonable meaning of this, particularly in the fuller context of that post: ''I understand your POV and am not going to engage with it.'' I am the editor that was ''canvassed'' by AC. While others may not, I see this as a request for an objective third opinion by AC. I provided [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=prev&oldid=1209876551 this comment] for which I was thanked by AC and understand the matter to have been resolved. The allegation that {{tq|I know from where you're coming from}} is a PA is itself a frivolous and vexatious PA that only serves to enliven the dispute and weaponise ANI. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=prev&oldid=1209535353 initial post] by MAE to Putin's interview is certainly uncivil, if not a PA. It is an allegation of continued misconduct not substantiated by the ANI, [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1149#Academic sources removal in favor of trickster POV pushing, WP:BATTLEGROUND]]. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Vladimir_Putin_Interview&diff=next&oldid=1209535353 response], {{tq|You're asking for it!!!}} can be construed as a threat - of what? - to take MAE to ANI? Neither editor should have posted as they did to an article TP. Both editors made a tacit acknowledgement of this by amending their posts. AC has made a fuller acknowledgement of their error above. However MAE would continue to make allegations of {{tq|a pattern of not adhering to [[WP:RS]] and [[WP:BALANCE]] and diminishing reliable sources}}, that were not withdrawn. For this, ANI must accept some responsibility because it did not provide a close to the incident, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1149#Academic_sources_removal_in_favor_of_trickster_POV_pushing,_WP:BATTLEGROUND Academic sources removal in favor of trickster POV pushing, WP:BATTLEGROUND]. An interaction issue between AC and MAE relating to MAE's allegations is likely to continue unless there is some intervention (not necessarily sanctions) by ANI. It is an unfortunate fact of RUSUKR that a sense of outrage has translated into a mob POV and that any one that does not conform to the mob is against it. There is no middle ground. The issue here is, in my view, a symptom of that condition. [[User:Cinderella157|Cinderella157]] ([[User talk:Cinderella157|talk]]) 04:33, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

This was long due as {{userlinks|SheriffIsInTown}} has managed to avoid scrutiny for a long period by choosing not to archive their talk page messages, notices, and warnings. Instead, they have chosen to display only barnstars, praises, etc., creating a false impression for any editor who might have concerns regarding their editing behavior. They have been given enough [[WP:ROPE]] to mend their ways and become a productive editor rather become a massive [[WP:TIMESINK]], don a rhino skin as they say [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1198332741], and adopt [[WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT]] approach. 

[[User:SheriffIsInTown]] have chosen otherwise and continue to dismiss any criticism of them by amusing productive editors ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1197199368]), be uncivil ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1204223160], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PTI_intra-party_elections_case&diff=prev&oldid=1204649941], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1204773469]), pass comments, or just ignore. They passed comment like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1204223160 "Please do not allow censorship otherwise they will censor everything they would not like about someone"] against me on 6 February 2024 to which I asked them to stop [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1204643971#Bushra_Bibi] (and {{ping|Edwardx}} who agreed with me by sending a thanks), but they still repeated the offensive comments in an other form and said [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PTI_intra-party_elections_case&diff=prev&oldid=1204649941 "You cannot just barge in and start changing already established content. It seems as though you are here to unveil history rather distort it in your way since yesterday. There are editors who have been unveiling history for decades here".] on 7 February 2024 in an edit summary, violating [[WP:SUMMARYNO]]. I'm deeply hurt by this and felt like they are trying to drive away editors that doesn't agree with their definition of "truth", regardless of what reliable references say or write. I again tried to resolve this and asked them to stop [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1204773173] and in reply they said [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1204773469 "Please grow up, there is no personal attack in it."]. This shouldn't be tolerated and should be enough to sanction them. 

[[User:SheriffIsInTown]] apparently doesn't care what the community thinks about them and uses sick quotes like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SheriffIsInTown&oldid=1198353952 "It is not sufficient that I succeed; all others must fail."] to describe culture on Wikipedia. It is also unfortunate that they take community sanctions imposed on them as a joke, (like ban on them editing [[Muhammad]] ([[User_talk:SheriffIsInTown#Muhammad|imposed on 16 January 2016]] by {{ping|HighInBC}} and [[User_talk:SheriffIsInTown#August_2018|arbitration block]] imposed by {{ping|BU_Rob13}}), and displays them as some kinds of medals of honor.

;Other recent issues in span of a month:
* On 18 January 2024, {{ping|Jacobolus}} raised an issue with them regarding their use of refill script [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1197199368#You_can't_just_mindlessly_run_the_URL_%22refill%22_script._You_have_to_inspect_and_think_about_the_results You can't just mindlessly run the URL "refill" script. You have to inspect and think about the results] to prop up edits counts but most of them were unproductive edits. Instead of apologizing and helping Jacobolus clean up the mess they created, they wrote an [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1197199368 AI-generated rap to mock them].
* On 22 January 2024, someone raised an issue with them regarding the use of [[WP:LLM]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&oldid=1198076737#WP:LLM]) which they just removed it on their talkpage ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&diff=prev&oldid=1198094229]) and on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_AI_Cleanup&diff=prev&oldid=1204832286 Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AI Cleanup]. Apparently they also don't know what the spamming is. The issue was regarding their use of ChatGPT to generate a rationale to nominate Wikipedia articles: i.e. [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sher Afzal Marwat (2nd nomination)]] and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Awrangzib Faruqi]], generate a lot of law-related articles with AI. It is abundtly clear that they used ChatGPT to do all this and even didn't acknowledge the warning. They just don't care.
* On 30 January 2024, {{ping|Saad Ali Khan Pakistan}} had enough of this (hurt by them like me) and complained to them what is their real issue to which they wrote another a rant and again tried to impose what is their definition of truth. A day ago, they reverted User:Saad Ali Khan Pakistan's edits without a reason [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&oldid=1202396519#Reverting_My_edit_without_any_reason.]. 
* On 1 February 2024, they joined unreferenced articles drive to prop up the edits count but soon they created more work for volunteers than they contributed and were kindly asked by {{ping|Broc}} and {{ping|Altamel}} to slow down ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SheriffIsInTown&oldid=1202807803#Please_slow_down]). Another time sink.
* On 3 February 2024, they downplayed User:Saad Ali Khan Pakistan's work on a list and claimed that they were already working on that list for a few weeks (without providing any evidence like sandbox) and went on to use terms and sentences like "try to do better job", "It seems you beat me to it by simply creating a separate article that looks somewhat clumsy", "You ought to have demonstrated politeness and respect by communicating with the editors who dedicated hours to the actual work, suggesting the creation of a separate article to acknowledge their contribution", and "there are certain manners we should all adhere to as human beings" See [[User_talk:Saad_Ali_Khan_Pakistan#1970_members_list]].
* On 6 February 2024, they started to edit war with me ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bushra_Bibi&diff=prev&oldid=1204167417], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bushra_Bibi&diff=prev&oldid=1204181877]) and insists to add a section titled "Alleged extramarital affair" on a private woman's biography based on primary references, such as an interview given by her ex-husband after 6 years when military started the crackdown on [[Imran Khan]]. See [[Bushra_Bibi#Alleged_extramarital_affair]]. It is another time sink created by them to waste community's time - I've asked for independent opinion on multiple noticeboards.
* Since 7 February 2024, they are reverting ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PTI_intra-party_elections_case&diff=prev&oldid=1205458994], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PTI_intra-party_elections_case&diff=prev&oldid=1205407369], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PTI_intra-party_elections_case&diff=prev&oldid=1204781437], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PTI_intra-party_elections_case&diff=prev&oldid=1204649941]) well-cited information that summarizes the article in the lead that [[PTI intra-party elections case]] ruling was controversial (per [[WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY]]) and was influenced by the military of Pakistan. They dismiss all the reliable references as [[WP:FRINGE]] and cited essay like [[WP:STATUSQUO]] when in actual I'm just summarizing the body and citing additional references for the verification. They even moved war when a move discussion is going on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PTI_intra-party_elections_case&diff=prev&oldid=1204649203].
* On 8 February 2024, they were warned by {{ping|ARoseWolf}} to stop the distruptive editing ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:2021_Minar-e-Pakistan_mass_sexual_assault&diff=prev&oldid=1204987801]) to which they haven't replied.
* The massive disruptive editing from them is on [[2024 Pakistani general election]] where they are trying to censor anything related to [[Imran Khan]] and [[Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf]] (PTI) as if this site is operated by the military of Pakistan, contorary to the fact that reliable publications in the whole world are describing the PTI-backed candidates as a separate group and a clear consensus on the talkpage is that we should include them, see [[Talk:2024_Pakistani_general_election#Should_PTI_be_included_in_the_Infobox]]. They are still edit warring ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1205801300], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1205817608], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1205354591]).
:* On 9 February 2024, {{ping|Saqib}} [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:2024_Pakistani_general_election&diff=prev&oldid=1205822130 warned them] to stop removing referenced information on [[Talk:2024_Pakistani_general_election#Removing_rigging_information]]. That information is from reliable publications such as ''[[The Economist]]'', ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'', [[France24]], but according to them these sources are "speculative" and "we shouldn't blindly include wild accusations based solely on speculative reports; not everything reported in the media is suitable for an encyclopedia." They are speaking the language of the Pakistani military establishment and attempting to impose Pakistan's censorship standards on Wikipedia which is against liberal norms. {{userlinks|War Wounded}} is another editor who almost always agree with them repeating similar narratives, and is editing from a mobile device like SheriffIsInTown. I suspect that they are either collaborating offline to establish a false narrative on Wikipedia articles or are the same person. I ask the community to review them concurrently with User:SheriffIsInTown as well.
;Remedy
All of these concerns converge on a few topics, such as [[politics of Pakistan]], [[blasphemy]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=885722375&oldid=885721937&diffmode=source]) towards which they have a strong bias and couldn't contribute constructively. Wikipedia volunteers' time is the most precious thing and a deliberative approach to create work for others and waste community's time is a serious issue for which we have to take some kind of action. I'll leave it to the community to discuss the necessary measures, but I suggest the following restrictions at a minimum:
* Topic ban from articles related to politics, blasphemy, and restrict them to use semi-automated tools to do quick edits in general.
* Obligate them to engage in discussion with fellow editors constructively (i.e. cite proper diffs and independent references, rather than making awkward arguments) and avoid incivility.
* Require them to archive all past talk page messages and continue doing so in the future, especially for warnings, notices, and noteworthy discussions.

:To be fair, while they didn't double-check or clean up all of the citations they had twiddled – hundreds to thousands of which were never checked by anyone else, with likely a substantial proportion of regressions – SheriffIsInTown was at least somewhat responsive to talk page discussion, and did make some effort to fix edits where the problems and appropriate solutions were explicitly explained. Since then, they seem to have stopped trying to do script-assisted citation changes. If they refrain from further masses of script-assisted edits going forward I won't have any personal problem with them. I can't really comment on the Pakistan politics stuff. –[[user:jacobolus|jacobolus]] [[User_talk:jacobolus|(t)]] 18:50, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
:: Well, due to having been away from WP for some time, I'm not familiar with the cases put forward above except that I find SheriffIsInTown's editing approach on the 2024 Pakistani general election page quite amusing. I returned to WP yesterday after hearing reports that individuals were tampering with the election page in an attempt to censor information. To my dismay, I found that  it was indeed true.  I suggest If SheriffIsInTown or any editor continue with this editing style, I strongly recommend implementing a topic ban. I agree with what User:HistoriesUnveiler said we don't have enough time to keep engaging in pointless discussions/arguments with someone who has clear POV agenda. SheriffIsInTown suggests that the Pakistani military must admit to engaging in election rigging before we can include those credible news reports in the article. Otherwise, there's no point in even mentioning them. It's as if the military has acknowledged in the past their involvement in election rigging. The Pakistani news media is forbidden from explicitly labeling PTI-backed candidates as such, for apparent reasons. However, if foreign media is openly acknowledging them as such, why are we hesitating to do the same? Are we here to serve the Pakistani government and censor information? Is this website run by the Pakistani government, for heaven's sake? --[[User:Saqib|Saqib]] ([[User talk:Saqib|talk]]) 19:12, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Hm. The reported editor has a long history at ANI, so others well versed in it are likely to chime in.

HistoriesUnveiler, a 12 day account starts changing article content massively disregarding already established consensus, when countered by me, they could not get through their edits due to lack of consensus, Saqib ends their long break and decide to help them out, the content dispute ends at ANI instead of them resolving that on talk pages or engaging official content dispute mechanisms such as [[WP:DRN]]. Further than that if an admin finds anything questionable or objectionable, please ping me and ask, and I'll gladly provide clarification. Otherwise, I prefer to dedicate my time to enhancing the encyclopedia rather than engaging in a back-and-forth exchange of essays.

* Because I was specifically tagged here I will respond. This will be my only comment on this issue unless asked for more information. I have [[2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault ]] watchlisted and saw and edit war taking place between {{noping|SheriffIsInTown}} and {{noping|HistoriesUnveiler}}. I started a discussion on the article talk page, something that should always be done before an edit war escalates to the point it did. Neither editor was blatantly adding or removing vandalism. As stated there, Sherriff removed some very obvious misrepresentations when you actually read the source material. The misrepresentations were caused by previous good faith attempts at simplifying the wording in that section. The problem is that the edits changed what was being said. I cautioned Sheriff to maybe do a little deeper dive, it took me less than a minute, to find out the history of that section. The editor that made the edits responded and we are going to both work together on restoring the correct information. I am not aware nor do I want to be involved in any further dispute between these two editors. I only wanted the edit warring to stop. --[[User:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b76e79">'''A'''</span><span style="color:#be4f60">'''Rose'''</span>]][[User talk:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b87333">'''Wolf'''</span>]] 16:49, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

* If I've previously edited a page, I typically review the edit history starting from my last edit. However, I hadn't edited this page before, and I encountered objectionable text while researching for any existing article on [[Salman Akram Raja]], whom I was planning to create an article about. Raja is known for his advocacy for human rights and women’s rights, but the text in that article falsely accused him of victim-blaming, which seemed inaccurate. Recognizing this serious violation of the [[WP:BLP]] policy, I concluded that it had been added by someone to discredit Raja and proceeded to remove it. HistoriesUnveiler had already been involved in conflicts with me on other articles and [[WP:WIKIHOUNDING|wikihounded]] me to the [[2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault]] page. They began restoring the BLP violation without consideration, seemingly to prolong their [[WP:BATTLEGROUND|battleground]] behavior. Given their wikihounding, I didn't believe they would be receptive to reason when it came to this matter, otherwise I would have attempted to engage them on talk. Since then, I have revisited the page and restored the text to its [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2021_Minar-e-Pakistan_mass_sexual_assault&diff=1206795871&oldid=1204950272 original wording], effectively removing the BLP violation.

*Reading all above details, In short I agree with SheriffIsInTown in a way that Saqib and HistoriesUnveiler both have many behaviourial issues which cause suspision and disruption.

[[User:Grandpallama|Grandpallama]] ([[User talk:Grandpallama|talk]]) 15:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
*I was tagged in OP's post, so I will add my comment. SheriffIsInTown participated in the [[WP:FEB24]] drive, adding dozens of dubious sources to pages of villages and railway stations in Pakistan. After it was repeatedly pointed out in the talk page, they stopped using those sources and continued editing as nothing ever happened, without ever looking back on previous edits. The result: 100+ poorly sourced articles that will probably never be cleaned up (I started doing so and it's a massive undertaking). While the user has been responsive, they have not shown an attitude of being able to recognize and correct their mistakes. [[User:Broc|Broc]] ([[User talk:Broc|talk]]) 10:36, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

*The aim of WP:FEB24 was to diminish the unreferenced backlog, which stretched back to December 2007 (17 years old). My intention in participating in the drive was solely to provide genuine assistance. The village articles pertained to legally recognized locations, and the sources I added were not for contentious material; rather, they simply verified the existence of these places and their population. The population census data is compiled by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics and was copied by a third-party website. By adding sources to this third-party website, I effectively removed these pages from the unreferenced backlog. While more sources could potentially be added in the future, I believe this was sufficient to address the backlog for now. I intend to continue working on articles related to Project Pakistan, and those articles now being on my watchlist will certainly be revisited and improved upon.

*:The "third-party website" is a personal blog [https://www.politicpk.com/] and definitely not a [[WP:RS]] as has been explained over and over again in your talk page and on the drive talk page. Pakistani census data is officially available (as you have yourself used this as a source on later pages), yet you are not willing to correct or even admit your mistakes. 
*:On several ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1202457087] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1202457901] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1202459505] and many more) railway station pages you added a fan club as a source. Again, it was pointed out, you stopped adding the source but never admitted your mistake or backtracked.
*:There is no point in discussing content here as it's not the right venue and you have had all the opportunities to express yourself; I am slowly adding {{tl|Unreliable sources}} to many of the pages you edited as part of the drive, but this goes to prove the point of OP here, your editing behavior causes huge time sinks. [[User:Broc|Broc]] ([[User talk:Broc|talk]]) 12:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
*::Within WikiProject Pakistan, there are over 100,000 articles, many of which are in a subpar condition, written in language that may not meet English proficiency standards, as English is not the first language for many Pakistani editors. A large portion of these articles lack proper sourcing, fail to adhere to style guidelines, and have been left stagnant after initial creation by transient editors. WikiProject Pakistan requires extensive improvements, and with that being said, small village articles and railway stations were not high on my list of priorities. I came across them during the drive and attempted to locate better sources, but encountered difficulties due to the unavailability of the Pakistan Railway website and anomalies in Pakistan Bureau of Statistics data. As a result, I resorted to sources that, while not entirely reliable, did not contain incorrect information in my assessment. Due to these source-related challenges, I chose not to actively participate in the competition aspect of the drive, as it would have been unfair to others who were able to provide better sources. Outside of the drive, I have other high-priority tasks, such as election coverage and reducing the article size of [[Pakistan]], which has over 15,000 words of readable prose. However, over the course of my editing endeavors, I do intend to enhance many articles within WikiProject Pakistan, including those related to villages and railway stations, when the time permits.

== Repeated vandalism by user over several IPs ==

There's been a repeated issue with someone vandalising Eurovision-related pages soon after their creation recently. When [[Sarah Bonnici]] was created after being selected for Eurovision, a Hungarian IP (92.52.232.134) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sarah_Bonnici&diff=prev&oldid=1203129654 inserted this] (untrue info, note the claim about being from Connecticut) into the page and repeatedly reverted back to it. They [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sarah_Bonnici&oldid=1203199735 asked for a user to start an AfD], which someone did well-meaningly, but which was eventually closed due to it being a troll.

Today, after [[Megara (band)]]'s selection for Eurovision and subsequent article creation, a new Hungarian IP (94.44.111.73) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Megara_(band)&oldid=1210146588 returned] to add this info about Connecticut once again. Another Hungarian IP, 94.44.96.184, then [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Megara_(band)&oldid=1210176647 added] this flagrant BLP vio (which needs revdelling at absolute least).

== [[User:Summerdays1]] and [[WP:BATTLEGROUND]] ==

{{Userlinks|Summerdays1}} User has been making an extensive [[WP:BATTLEGROUND]] for months in order to target myself and a few other editors, involving consistent [[WP:CANVASSING]] and warring to revert edits, accompanied by personal attacks. This editor continues this behavior regardless and ignores every warning by multiple editors, including this most recent one by [[User:Ponyo|Ponyo]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ponyo&diff=prev&oldid=1205138718]. Their reversions are usually under nonsensical edit summaries and often break article formatting or duplicate existing information, which is also disruptive. It's a pattern long enough to warrant a block. I've listed some here (this is not comprehensive, the rest can be seen through their edit log):

The latter part of the latest discussion on the article's talk page is largely them stating I am wrong with no rationale to back it up, or simply just asking/demanding of me to just to "leave it alone" (again exhibiting traits of ICHY concerning content they care for). 
::::Once it was clear to myself that we would not be able to resolve this on our own, I've repeatedly asked them if they would like to wait for other editors to chime in on the talk page, or go to 3O or DRN.

::::Deleting a notice is not "ignoring" it, but rather is typically considered to be the editor in question seeing your notice but choosing not to engage with it, which is their right. In terms of demonstrating a behavioral issue, it would be more effective to provide a narrative where you show that the editor made a mistake, then that you notified them that they made said mistake, and that they continued to make the same mistake. For instance, with the claims of inserting erroneous material, you should show that you notified the editor that the material they inserted was erroneous and that they then reinserted it.

No, we don't just block someone who makes such errors, but it's not okay for users to create error-filled edits on the assumption "someone else" will come along and clean it up. [[WP:CIR]] is a metric for whether someone should be allowed to edit the site, not the bar for whether an individual edit should be accepted. It's perfectly acceptable, even preferable, to revert "productive" additions that introduce a bunch of errors rather than to ignore them and expect other editors to clean them up.

== [[Talk:Alexei Navalny]] ==

Could someone have a look at the recent discussions at this page? The subject recently died (was likely murdered by the Putin regime), and there is a constant stream of new-ish users (many of which may not even edit the page because of the RUSUKR restriction) who suddenly want to give undue weight to the activity of the subject from fifteen years ago, and deploy a lot of original research trying to prove that the subject was not the opposition leader (as opposed to what reliable sources say). One of them, [[User:Brusquedandelion]], with less that one year and 600 edits tenure, came today as particularly aggressive and even issued me a warning for "personal attacks".

I am concerned a BLP for a previously non-notable minor accused but not convicted of serious crimes raises [[WP:BLP1E]] and [[WP:BLPCRIME]] concerns. For example BLPCRIME states "Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction. For individuals who are not public figures...editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed or is accused of having committed a crime, unless a conviction has been secured." Should it simply be resolved via AfD or should the article potentially be immediately changed? [[User:AusLondonder|AusLondonder]] ([[User talk:AusLondonder|talk]]) 12:11, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

:Over the last three months, I have encounter multiple occasions of {{u|ShirtNShoesPls}} (SNSP) engaging in both intentionally and unintentionally disruptive behavior. Beginning in December, SNSP has engaged in and been warned for canvassing, edit warring (for which they were briefly blocked), insertion of false and malsourced information, and creation of articles seemingly to capitalize on the popular zeitgeist.

:These are the most frustrating cases I encountered with still-existing diffs: After disputing the reliability of multiple reliable sources ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pope_Francis&diff=prev&oldid=1190776897]), they cited their own claims about their priest ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fiducia_supplicans&diff=prev&oldid=1191532961], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Fiducia_supplicans&diff=prev&oldid=1191535403]). Borrowing a turn-of-phrase from a blog post, they ignored discussion opposing a move of an article to insist on renaming a subject something sensational ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=2023+swatting+of+American+politicians]) that resulted in a frustrating case of [[WP:CITOGENESIS|CITOGENESIS]] when the term was picked up by ''Bloomberg''; their refusal to submit the evidence they repeatedly claimed to have resulted in the term [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 4#Season of Swattings|being deleted as even a redirect]].

:SNSP's POV-pushing and edit warring has resulted in a temporary block. However, SNSP continues to display a persistent disregard for appropriate sourcing. As such, I support a more permanent action. In the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1149#User ShirtNShoesPls, Blatant Months-Long Disruptive Editing, Multiple BLP Violations, and Now Openly Vandalising Pages With Manufactured Quotes/Claims by Misrepresenting Citations|previous ANI]], I think a [[WP:WALLOFTEXT|text wall]] led to the remarkable wealth of evidence going ignored and action not being taken.

===KlayCax opinion===

I've also interacted with {{ping|ShirtNShoesPls}}. [[WP: RIGHTGREATWRONGS]] applies to what he's doing here. I wouldn't call his edits vandalism — I think he's trying to [[WP: RIGHTGREATWRONGS]] — but he's making clear, NPOV-violating edits surrounding the aforementioned topics, in addition to other sociopolitical, cultural, and religious articles. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Circumcision&diff=1209961782&oldid=1209915055 Circumcision] now.) '''He definitely needs to be warned at the very least. Some form of topic ban (either temporary or permanent) seems appropriate here.''' Off topic: but that [[Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign|2024 Donald Trump election page]] is, to riff on a quote he said, "a NPOV nightmare" and needs substantial revision.

===Response===

===Attack on me===

All of those edits are being mischaracterized. Referring to the genocide of Native Americans as point of view pushing is outrageous. It's an uncontested fact of history. The conspiracy theories alleging Biden has dementia are misinformation. I only cited my priest to show that others interpreted it in the manner being claimed. Kill The Justice League had many controversial plot threads that deserves mention.

I believe that this ANI was filed due to differing perspectives on articles rather than a legit concern about my contributions. [[User:ShirtNShoesPls|ShirtNShoesPls]] ([[User talk:ShirtNShoesPls|talk]]) 00:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
:To me, the "Season of Swattings" stuff was enough on its own to warrant a severe sanction. You lied about having multiple sources, edit warred in moving the article, and even managed to keep the misinformation up just long enough for it to get picked up by an unscrupulous ''Bloomberg'' writer. If anything, this editor should be barred from articles on modern politics for at least six months.

== User:01wikidocter and User:Miragekfir2000 ==



Hello AN/I, I'm here about {{Diff||1210225966||this strange diff}} of a user editing another user's page that came up in recent changes. That diff left me confused, especially since [[User:01wikidocter]] has not edited since Dec 2021, and I can't see any obvious interactions between the two at first glance.

{{Diff|User_talk:Miragekfir2000|1210230370||I contacted}} [[User:Miragekfir2000]] on their talk page, since that seem like an unusual edit to see made on another user's page, and that might not have been entirely intended. Talk page blanked without reply.

To the best of my knowledge, I've not interacted with either user before today. I'm looking for clarification, whether I should just drop the topic and forget, or if this warrants any attention. Thank you. [[User:Mlkj|Mlkj]] ([[User talk:Mlkj|talk]]) 19:23, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

:[[User:Miragekfir2000]] appears to be a mostly good faith, productive editor. Their edits are largely unsourced, which isn't ideal, but they do appear to be correct (as far as I can tell). They've also removed sourced content that may be incorrect or that they disagree with, rather than adding or replacing other viewpoints. (Examples: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_ECW_World_Television_Champions&diff=prev&oldid=1179108143 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gabriel_Jarret&diff=prev&oldid=1175685234 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Merkava&diff=prev&oldid=1208416103 3].) Personalized comments in edit summaries like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_Pillman&diff=prev&oldid=1162551314 "If you don't know anything about firearms then don't pretend you do."] also aren't helpful. Then there's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AIDS_Memorial_Grove&diff=prev&oldid=1184662497 this bit of random vandalism] at [[AIDS Memorial Grove]], for which [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Miragekfir2000&oldid=1184662587 they were warned]. (Their reply was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Miragekfir2000&diff=prev&oldid=1184662691 "Sorry, I just couldn't resist."]) Given that they were warned about vandalism but still changed the message at 01wikidocter's User page, I suggest they be given a final warning from an admin.
:As for [[User:01wikidocter]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:01wikidocter&oldid=1045529055 their initial User page message] is also unacceptable, as is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Viera,_Florida&diff=prev&oldid=1058527377 this edit summary]. But they haven't edited for a couple of years, so perhaps the best we could do is keep an eye on them in case they return.

==Hoaxery==
Last week, an anonymous IP created [[Draft:Testzure Crystalzate Z5]], a draft about a mobile phone that doesn't verifiably exist at all as neither the words "Testzure" nor "Crystalzate" bring up any hits whatsoever on a Google search. It was deleted by another administrator as a hoax, but since then additional drafts have been created at [[Draft:Testzure Crystalzate Doublfold 7]], [[Draft:Testzure Crystalzate Tabpad S11]] and [[Draft:Testzure Crystalzate Tabpad series]]. They were all also started by a different IP, but have since been edited by a newly registered user named {{noping|IDYTAReturn29121}}.

So, essentially, this person appears to be creating hoax articles about an entire line of smartphone and tablet models that don't verifiably exist at all, by a tech company that doesn't verifiably exist at all.

Several times over the week, they've further revert-warred me over [[WP:DRAFTNOCAT]] issues, repeatedly putting the pages back into mainspace categories (including two redlinked categories that don't even exist ''at all'', further defying [[WP:REDNOT]]) no matter how many times those were removed or disabled — so it would look as if I was misusing admin tools to gain the upper hand in a personal dispute if I simply applied any sanctions myself on the basis of the hoaxery. So could an uninvolved administrator look into this, and figure out if any deletions or editblocks are necessary? Thanks.
