This is not a general problem – you can leave a message anyway, but your IP address might change during the discussion, and I might end up talking to a wall.

Hey, check out the history here when you get a chance. Newly-registered editor removing large swaths of content on the grounds that said content was added by a sockpuppet; others have already tried discussing the removal on the editor's user talk page. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:48, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Skywatcher68, thank you very much for notifying me about this. I guess [1] already says it all. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Puppets to the left, puppets to the right. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @ToBeFree Thank you for taking some action here. I didn't want to become involved in an edit war, but it was clear to me something was wrong.
- Appreciate our last interaction wasn't positive, but thank you for your thanks and positive action.

- Hi OXYLYPSE, you're welcome! I'm not sure which non-positive interaction you might mean; there's an ANEW report but that was justified and led to a block, so I'm thankful for the report and there's nothing negative about it, I hope. Did I decline a request at WP:AIV perhaps? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @ToBeFree, Actually I think I've gotten you confused with another editor from VRT that I had an interaction with recently. My mistake; please accept my apologies, and thank you again. OXYLYPSE (talk) 22:39, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, all good. 🙂👍 ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:07, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

BLP issues at Vitaly Zdorovetskiy
[edit]One newly-registered editor who apparently has close ties to the subject, given that the new photo is the editor's own work, added non-neutral content. Now a second newly-registered editor has restored the same non-neutral content. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
