    MPN 1994 disruptive behaviour

    MPN 1994 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    This user has a long history of poor behaviour and a fairly long block log. On 3 November, I issued a final warning to this user due to their repeated disruptive behaviour on 1936–37 Maltese FA Trophy, 1937–38 Maltese FA Trophy and 1938–39 Maltese FA Trophy - essentially reverting the AfD closure without permission. I reported this to WP:RPP in the hope of getting the redirects protected but was told to take it here instead. They have also been disruptive while logged out - see here and here. The latter example was after I had already issued a final warning on MPN's talk page. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    It's worth noting @MPN 1994 has a habit of removing warnings from there talk page [1], which has removed most of the Christmas shopping list of notifications and warnings Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 19:06, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Without assessing the validity of this complaint, I'll just point out that editors are allowed to remove warnings from their User talk page and that alone is not an action that would call for sanctions. It's pretty common behavior. Liz Read! Talk! 20:35, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And to add onto @Liz has pointed out: while it's important to assume good faith about removing user warnings, taking it as a neutral sign that they've read it, it's also okay (and sometimes important!) to point out when someone has done this, like @Fantastic Mr. Fox has done. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 04:18, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @MPN 1994: please can you respond to my complaint? User:Liz asked you to respond 2 days ago and you've carried on editing since. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:28, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I Got the Information From the Malta Football Association from the Headquarters. They don't have any History of Knockout Rounds on the Internet. But they gave me an Excel Sheet. So I was giving them the teams how they Qualify and who they Played. But there are Some People didn't Understand me what I was Doing. And I Did Not Logged Out and make it Back. MPN 1994 (talk) 16:28, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    MPN 1994 I commend your commitment to making the article, but are you Wikipedia aware of policies around original research? Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 17:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Listen what I do I am Not Making any Fake news. I know all about Maltese Football. And What I Do I am Saying the Truth. MPN 1994 (talk) 19:02, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Click the words "original research" in Fantastic Mr. Fox's message and read that policy. City of Silver 19:10, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    MPN 1994 you still haven't explained why you kept reverting the AfD closure on those Maltese FA Trophy articles, even after being told to stop. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:19, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Because Every time I Always Write Either Drafted or Delete MPN 1994 (talk) 16:44, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This happens because the articles are created without any sources at all, so are not suitable to remain in main space. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reporting harassment by sockpuppet account

    Io5678 indeffed as a sockpuppet of Mlnx by Ivanvector. Aydoh8[contribs] 23:58, 11 November 2024 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

    A sockpuppet is constantly putting unsourced content on the wikipage Uddhav Thackeray, After removing his unsourced edits, he is harassing me on my talk page. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/117.228.176.138 )

    Regards Io5678 (talk) 21:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    How do you know this user is a sockpuppet? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:56, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    His edits are politically motivated as he has harassed me in talk page.They can be had in the history of my talk page. Io5678 (talk) 22:04, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Io5678, the "history of your talk page"? There are only 7 edits to your user talk page you've only been an editor for 4 days now. That's not a long history. Have you used other accounts before this one? It's highly unusual for a 4 day old account to bring a complaint to ANI. Liz Read! Talk! 04:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    He puts the same unsourced stuff again.and his IP address are similar Io5678 (talk) 22:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think what Ivanvector was getting at is that IPs can change without any intent or even knowledge of the person making the edits. That is not sockpuppetry unless they are evading a block. This looks like an extremely minor content dispute that does not require admin intervention at this time. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 22:06, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    He harassed me in the talk page with racial comments,he seems to be a politicaly motivated troll. Io5678 (talk) 22:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    He has created three accounts in a span of four to five days. Also,each of his account has only one edit. Io5678 (talk) 22:21, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If you could provide the names of those accounts that would be helpful. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 01:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Do you mean the material that admin Bbb23 restored? It appears to be sourced. The IPs message on your talk page may not be the politest but it doesn't rise to harassment. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 05:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This editor also went to three different editors' user talk pages asking for those edits to be revision deleted which seems like an odd thing for a 4 day old account to know about. They have also been edit-warring and justifying by saying the other editors were sockpuppets (with no evidence). Liz Read! Talk! 06:57, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I blocked them. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 07:13, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello, the sockpuppet account against which Io5678 is complaining is not sockpuppet account, but since I don't have wikipedia account, & I do directly edit page, my IP address (which fluctuates as per net service provider) is displayed. I haven't added anything new but only restored information with proper references which other two admins Bbb23, Yoshi24517 also agreed & restored, which Io5678 removed withouth proper justification. In his talk page I only mentioned him as andhbhakt which means blind follower of political party or ideology & I live in province where uddhav thackeray was governing, so I know about his popularity. & by crying harassment he has vindicated me. Anyways, the article is properly fixed at this moment & I thank Bbb23, Yoshi24517, CambridgeBayWeather|Uqaqtuq for putting proper inputs as well as restraining Io5678 from making unconstructive edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.233.118.11 (talk) 10:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I actually asked for their evidence of sockpuppetry because "my political opponent must be a sockpuppet" is a thing that sockpuppets say, pretty reliably, especially with Indian politics. And, well, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mlnx. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:47, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's True. I should also thank you for being neutral & helping me in putting right information. 117.233.92.161 (talk) 08:21, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    New editor (Zachapertio) may need an admin warning or a block to cool down

    Zachapertio indeffed as a sock of Rahio1234 by Novem Linguae. Aydoh8[contribs] 09:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

    The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

    Zachapertio (talk · contribs) is an account that has been created in August (now at 300+ edits) and their second and third edits were already problematic (edit warring). They came to my attention just now, as few days ago they violated talk page guidelines reverting, with no rationale a perfectly fine response (or a set of three, to be exact) to a warning that my student received few days ago on their talk page.

    I assumed it is an innocent mistake by a new user, so I reverted them with an edit summary and left them a friendly but firm warning message to be careful on their talk.

    In response, they reverted my warning removing it from their talk page with no edit summary, reverted my revert removing my students responses again, and left me a "final warning for vandalism message".

    I don't have time to review their edits in more detail, but I see in September they got a warning from @Robert McClenon, which they promptly deleted as well.

    I think that editor is WP:NOTHERE, and is playing as an admin or moderator with way too little experience and wrong attitude (see their numerous edits at userspace talk, with many warnings and such). I am not sure if a warning to refrain from such actions until they get much more experience will be enough, a shorter or longer admin or community block for them to cool down (for few weeks of years...) might be warranted. Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 01:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Nothing else they are doing seems particularly weird, but I agree that the user talk reverts make no sense. They are free to remove whatever they want from their own talk page, but not someone else's. And issuing a vandalism warning to you is clearly just plain wrong. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 01:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at some of their non-template messages, it doesn't seem like their English skills are very strong. That doesn't have any influence those strange user talk page edits but I thought I'd mention it. Liz Read! Talk! 03:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) I know that consensus can change, but I know there was a consensus years ago that cool-down blocks backfired too often to be useful. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 04:22, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Pretty sure cool-down blocks have never been a thing the community supports. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 05:47, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not sure if i got blocked? Zach (talk to me) 07:19, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Since you can post here, User:Zachapertio, you are not blocked. But you should read over the comemnts here and provide an explanation for any questions about your editing that have arisen. Liz Read! Talk! 08:53, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And an apology to me and my student would be nice. Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 00:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree. This is a misuse of Twinkle and their use of this tool should be revoked (I would have revoked it by myself if I find the right page to do so). OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:45, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I do not think Twinkle is something we can control access to - Isn't it built into the "Gadgets" section of the site now? ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 01:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yep, it's been that way for some time. And although I agree the issued warning was not appropiate, they've been told that via a warning on their talk page and have not edited in three days so I'm not really seeing any sanctions forthcomeing from this thread. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 02:27, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I must be thinking about WP:AWB, which can be revoked for misuse by removing their name from this page. Perhaps Twinkle should add this feature? @Novem Linguae: is there a way to remove Twinkle access for miuse? OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:04, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not currently. There's no allowlist or denylist for Twinkle. It simply checks for autoconfirmed. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:35, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hindu News

    Ther are legal and physical threats over at RSn being made (apparently) by representatives of Hindu News [[2]], but they have a fluctuating IP, so is there anything we can do to stop this? Slatersteven (talk) 13:48, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes please, multiple clear NLT violations. 100.36.106.199 (talk) 13:55, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    These are the IPs that have been used in the discussion: Special:Contributions/47.31.153.39 Special:Contributions/47.31.133.164 Special:Contributions/49.36.183.2 Special:Contributions/49.36.183.2 Special:Contributions/47.31.153.221. The last one is blocked but needs TPA pulled, too. 100.36.106.199 (talk) 14:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    And this [[3]] means it needs to be a perinant block, as this is a direct threat to target WMF staff. Slatersteven (talk) 13:55, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This is not the first time this organisation and it's IPs have been brought to ANI see also [4] [5] - Ratnahastin (talk) 15:01, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    And it needs to be applied to every involved IP. Slatersteven (talk) 13:57, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't think perinant is a word, which is a shame because it should be. EEng 14:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There was no LEGAL THREAT. It is a clear and direct caution that aggrieved Hindu Raksha Dal cadres, acting on their own and individually, may physically discipline WMF employees and users in India if there is any abuse or disrespect to our HINDU organization/s and project/s on your web portals - as they have done in the past. WMF Legal and WMF CEO is very well aware of considering the past LITIGATION between our organisations, DMCAs, Office Actions etc. Anyway, what we say here is previously publlshed by us on the ICANN website [6] and can be verified from WMF and also from WP:/LTA. The LTA will show we have unlimited supply of IP addresses, so blocking is a waste of both our times. We suggest you get WMF to impose a GLOBAL BAN on us if they dare. Have a nice day.

    Somebody responsible should report this discussion to WIKIMEDIA EMERGENCY email ID also. 47.31.183.210 (talk) 14:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Noting that there also appears to be a threat of physical assault on WMF employees there. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey, but it's not like anything they say at [7] is crazy or anything. Stuff like ...
    IAC says the present UDRP is grossly biased in favor of trademark holders. The domain name holders are subjected to RDNH akin to the Jews of Europe being eliminated in Auschwitz gas chambers. IAC demands a DENAZIFICATION of ICANN and the UDRP along with its NAZI collaborators like WIPO. It seems WIPO selects their panelists for their stupidity and for strict obedience to follow WIPO's self created gas chamber operation rules. It is no coincidence that WIPO is located in Switzerland where the bulk of the Nazi Gold was stored. IAC shall list out a few of WIPO's tricks to RDNH IAC's domain.
    ... make perfect sense to me. EEng 14:38, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Certainly wasn't on my bingo card for today. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They make extensive use of legal threats directed at individual editors, the WMF, and the Wikimedia India chapter; they also engage in serious harassment, both on- and off-wiki. Whack-a-mole is so tedious, lets smash a few pumpkins instead. 47.31.148.206 (talk) 14:55, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This may need escalation to a global ban, and maybe more as they are making direct theats, and an outright threat to sock. Slatersteven (talk) 14:57, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The IP's references to IAC suggest a relation to Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/India Against Corruption sock-meatfarm. MrOllie (talk) 15:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. That is correct. I provided the tq to assist you. HINDUNEWS.STREAM is a property of the Hindustan Republican Army (check its Whois). IAC is an affiliate of HRA. The brand name IAC is owned by HRA. The Hindu Raksha Dal and Hindu Rashtra Dal are armed military wings of HRA to protect peaceful/defenceless Hindu religionists in India. Let's have a civilised conversation and ignore the trolls.47.31.162.201 (talk) 15:15, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If you want a civilised discussion, stop making threats. And stop wp:socking wait till you block expires and come back without the attitude. Slatersteven (talk) 15:16, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hindustan Socialist Republican Association? So it very much will not be an RS. Slatersteven (talk) 15:19, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Coming off of your threat to have your stormtroopers assault WMF staff and Wikipedia users if WP doesn't do your bidding, I'd say that civilized discussion has up and left the building. Count me very much in favor of a range block wide enough to chop these IPs down. Ravenswing 21:56, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Blaxstocatamazon: I'm not sure who you're replying to with this message but please read WP:NOTFORUM. This website's discussion boards aren't meant to be used to list a ton of controversial claims that, if they're not sourced, will never be added to any article. City of Silver 18:43, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While WP:BLPCRIME does not apply here, I have redacted the frankly explosive claims made by Blaxstocatamazon above on the grounds that the accusations made, with no evidence presented, are wholly inapproriate regardless of what the subject is, and because the edit itself implicates multiple CTops. IP editor: Anything said specifically to attempt to intimidate other editors into compliance is generally grounds for a block (if not for it being a legal threat, then because you are attempting to force article content). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 18:54, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Did anyone besides EEngs read through the link EEngs provided? The comments are pure insanity. It talks about assassination, for God's sake. For editing an encyclopedia? This goes beyond legal threats. I'm surprised that there was no response from ICANN as it was posted on their website. To me, it matters whether IAC is an actual organization or just the rantings of one crazy, zealous person. Liz Read! Talk! 01:57, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Nice storyline. But it's clear that you are related to this LTA in some way as noted before on your talkpage by me long ago [8]. - Ratnahastin (talk) 15:14, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The medical NGO I advice sometimes uses their assistance in certain places of India to operate safely, as also their networks in goverment when needed for advocacy or governmetal action. eg like 2024 Kolkata rape/murder. So something about their storyline is known. Blaxstocatamazon (talk) 15:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You were essentially repeating same claims about filing a report with the national task force for doctor safety/Supreme court[9] as the IPs of hindu rashtra dal did on the talkpage of Kolkata rape incident. [10][11][12] Making legal threats on the same page also led to your block.[13] I have no doubts that you are related to them in some way, given how the first thing you did after getting unblocked is comment in this thread. - Ratnahastin (talk) 16:43, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I am kind of wondering if it would be wise to advise the WMF of the threats of physical violence that have occurred within this conflict. Simonm223 (talk) 18:15, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course it would. It would also be a good idea to inform them that various people feel empowered to make such threats by the WMF's seeming willingness to roll over in the Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation case.

    IP Hopper adding the same number all over.

    Normally would give a warning or even 2 then report the IP for vandalism... but we have an IP Hopper going around changing racial figures to the same number everywhere..

    Techiya1925

    This most likely belongs to AE, but I'm not ECR so I'm not sure if I can report there. Apparently Techiya1925 committed several 1RR violations in Talk:November 2024 Amsterdam attacks (which is not even why I'm reporting this here), once confronted with that he began casting aspersions and even doubled down after being told to AGF by an admin.

    In his talk page, I got the impression that he's accusing everyone who goes against his POV of being either radical Islamic propagandists or “they/them” computer geeks who hate Jews. Previously today he got warned for engaging in an edit war. I don't think that such WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour is useful for the encyclopedia.— 🧀Cheesedealer !!!⚟ 17:40, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Please make sure that when you are doing your investigation, you look at everything. From the beginning, to the end. In various discussions on the talk page of the article. Techiya1925 (talk) 17:50, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Is anyone going to point out the random, completely unprompted, transphobia? Iostn (talk) 21:14, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Iostn, do you have any diffs of this behavior? Because I've looked over their talk page comments for the past two days and aside from this diff shared by Black Kite, I can see them getting upset over a contentious subject but that's the only attack I can see. I know there is a no tolerance rule for attacks based on race, gender, gender identity, ethnicity and religion but this does seem like an isolated incident. They should have stepped away from the article and its talk page. Liz Read! Talk! 05:08, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Liz, I could be wrong but I interpreted "they/them" computer geeks who hate Jews as a thinly veiled and staggeringly unfriendly allusion to transgender editors. But perhaps they are only mocking antisemitic editors who prefer the singular they. Anything is possible in The New World. Cullen328 (talk) 07:45, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Liz basically what Cullen said, although the main reason I mentioned it was because although it was quoted the whole unprovoked nature of it is probably something worth at least noting Iostn (talk) 15:19, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Iostn and Cullen, thanks for pointing that out. Stating pronoun preference is so common in my little part of the world that I can sometimes be oblivious when it is used as an insult. I don't know if that qualifies a person as transphobic but it was definitely not appropriate. Liz Read! Talk! 23:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a collective insult, like he-she before it. Brazenly weaponized this year, no less. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 01:51, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, it's a new right-wing talking point. Basically a combination of anti-nonbinary prejudice, but also transphobia as TERFs seem to think nonbinary is a stepping stone to being trans (a la the old canard that bisexuality is a stepping stone to being homosexual). — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 18:42, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate the effort to look at the nuances here, but I would have to respectfully disagree with the idea that this was a light or ambiguous violation. Plenty of users have felt angry and frustrated at times on WP, but it had never descended to a low of making explicitly discriminatory, both Islamophobic and transphobic, comments towards other editors. Connecting transgender people as a whole with hating Jews, is transphobic. Connecting anyone they disagree with on Israel as a "radical Islamic propagandist", a four-fold assumption of them being: 1- Muslim in religion 2- Islamist in thinking 3- radicalized and 4- propagadanist. I have been editing on WP for a decade and I have never encountered this level of unfiltered hate speech. This should be taken extremely seriously.

    Dirsuptive behaviour (vol 2)

    Oddsourceuser blocked as a sock. Liz Read! Talk! 06:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

    I already filed a report a few days ago (report), although there was no sufficient action taken there. User:Oddsourceuser was created 4 days ago (Nov 6) and they have been consistently edit-warring since then. They already have 98 edits on the main account (as of Nov 10), with many POV and original research disruptions. They were using the IP address: 141.98.142.45 (40+ edits) in order to restore their reverted edits and, when the IP got blocked, presented that as "accidentally making edits in incognito mode" (diff). By Nov 8, they had received in total 7 notices and warnings (talk), including 2 for edit-warring, and there has been a recently filed SPI case too. The edit-war was centered in articles, such as Sotiris Ninis, Parga, Agia, Preveza, Palase, Dhermi, Himare (town) etc. violating the WP:3RR on multiple occasions until today. They also altered a quotation taken from a source (diff, diff), and it appears that they already begun using a new IP address: 141.98.142.33. The last time, the admin was more reserved and did not take any action, blocking only the IP, but so far it doesn't seem like this behaviour is going to stop any time soon. Piccco (talk) 21:35, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The "new ip adress"was just given to me automatically,and the reverts i did were on my laptop and i had not signed in,its not like it would have been hard to do them on my own account but since im on mobile and its harder to.Anyways i have done the edits that i wanted to do already and the edits that i did that were wrong or badly sourced or phrased were reverted,im currently focusing on 3 drafts i created and dont plan to make any edits on anything but ny drafts anytime soon Oddsourceuser (talk) 21:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The Blue Rider - chronic assumption of bad faith

    The Blue Rider indeffed by StarMississippi. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

    hello all. i have come here because i am not sure what else to do at this point. @The Blue Rider has been consistently assuming bad faith of other editors, and has been blocked a few times already for edit-warring, WP:LOUTSOCKing, and uncollaborative behavior.
    i will not dwell too much on older behavior, but for some relevant context, see:

    since they've been unblocked, TBR has continued with similar behavior.

    in response to that last one, i left a message on their talk page about assuming bad faith of other editors & CTOP templates. i was promptly reverted with the edit summary "Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict also says that you should only use the template when someone has never been warned before about contentious topics. I don't appreciate your WP:WITCHHUNT". moments later, they pinged me in the main public channel of the Wikimedia Discord with the message "@sawyer drop the WP:WITCHHUNT". i won't say much else about the exchange in the discord because i know that's kind of a gray area, but that's the most relevant bit. i have to say, i don't appreciate being accused of a witch hunt - i've only ever interacted with them on-wiki one time, at voorts' RfA in a neutral capacity.
    i am not sure what would solve this behavior short of an indefinite block, but of course i am open to other milder suggestions. ... sawyer * he/they * talk 22:26, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not an admin, just an editor wanting to comment on the record. This block makes me a bit sad, the user in question has been very helpful and productive from what I've seen.

    IP range and MOS:ETHNICITY violations

    Hi - looking for a second opinion on whether to take action about something. An anonymous user operating on 2003:DC:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 has been dipping into multiple articles (some of them BLPs) to add the word 'jewish' for the last couple of weeks. Examples: John Malkovich, David Ayer, Jacques Lebaudy, I counted about a dozen similar instances, going back to 28 October on this range. They get tagged, but the aren't automatically reverted by ClueBot - they have all been manually reverted so far. It's a different article every time, no point in applying protection, and they are jumping about within this range, so there's no realistic way of communicating with them, and blocking a range this wide would involve a significant amount of collateral. Wondering whether others think that the disruption is significant enough to warrant an anon-block on the range. Pinging Acroterion in particular as another admin I saw reverting these edits. Girth Summit (blether) 11:29, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I could've sworn this was some sort of LTA. More than one person would use "Jewish" in the same way one would use "American" or any other nationality? LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 12:19, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was an LTA, but I don't know which one. Girth Summit (blether) 12:26, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There has been an uptick in Jew-tagging in the past year. Most of it is meant maliciously, others are simply misunderstandings of how WP approaches religion and ethnicity; it's hard to tell sometimes. I would not be surprised if there are LTAs involved in some of these with recognizable geolocations, but I don't recognize this one. The ones I've been familiar with have come from Sweden or northern Italy, but I'm sure there are wannabe LTAs lurking. I think the best route is to keep doing what we're doing, and keep an eye on edit filter 982, which does a good job of flagging potential problems.,and revert when appropriate.

    User:Ruthen Pagan

    I cannot tell if this is a vandalism-only account, but some of the edits are purely disruptive while others look fine (at least not obvious vandalism). In this edit to Lithuanian–Bermontian War they replaced the flag to the gay pride one and in a subsequent edit they wrote: "According to some sources, Pavel Bermondt-Avalov was homosexual, and the flag of his army was rainbow, which corresponds to LGBT". I gave them a vandalism warning as a result. After this, in their edits to Pavlo Lapshyn, they changed "Ukrainian white supremacist terrorist" to "Russian white supremacist terroristwho citizen of Ukraine" in this edit. I also gave them an EE CT alert earlier. Mellk (talk) 19:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    They haven't edited in 4 days and have never posted to a User talk page or Talk page.

    Hi! It happens that IP users will involuntarily jump across different IPs, and that is not considered sockpuppetry if not done to break policy.

    As always, the best thing to do when someone is reverting your edits is to discuss it with them. As /64 ranges don't have a unified talk page, and the reverts happened on multiple articles, it might be difficult to find a place to discuss, but I see that they replied to another user at User talk:2607:FEA8:571E:CE00:D8C:6DE5:FF66:5C6C, presumably talking about their reverts of your edits. It can be good to use that as a starting point to discuss the reverts there, especially since they seem to mention policies such as WP:OR. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chaotic Enby, I tried to discuss but he cleared the topic from his talk page from another IP address.

    Their edit summary isn't very respectful, but the IP is right that this addition was OR and shouldn't have been added without sources. Also, you've both been edit-warring on that page. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Edit-warring IP refusing to WP:LISTEN and accusing others of political agendas

    176.88.165.232 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) has been disruptively and tendentiously editing across multiple pages, arguing that those who disagree with them have political agendas or do not understand policy (or both!). Classic WP:IDHT.

    At this talk page discussion, three users (myself, HistoryofIran, and Remsense) attempted to convey to this IP that unreliable sources do not fall under WP:RSOPINION. They refused to listen, and resorted to incivil comments, such as: "sabotaging for political agendas/to suppress opinions", "sabotaging for arbitrary reasons", and around four personal attacks in one diatribe. In the end, we got fed up with their refusal to understand WP:PAGs, and I advised others to move on from the merry-go-round of their WP:LISTEN behaviour.

    The IP also started this discussion at RSN to argue the same point. First, ActivelyDisinterested responded, and three times answered whether RSOPINION was a good argument. This was of course not good enough for the IP: "You have not answered". ActivelyDisinterested grew uninterested(!) because of the IP' refusal to WP:LISTEN to others explaining WP:PAGs, and moved on. FactOrOpinion also participated in this discussion; I'd like to say that they and the IP found common ground, but that of course didn't happen. Instead, FactOrOpinion moved on, saying "I've read the relevant policy, and it seems I understand it better than you do...You've had several people tell you "no." At this point, this is a case of WP:LISTEN".

    Then, the IP decided to edit war and was blocked for 31h (but not before filing two unfounded, retaliatory reports). Upon their block expiring today, they filed another EW report, once again alleging that everyone else's edits were political in intent. When Crazycomputers declined this report, the IP accused them of taking sides, and claimed that they were "corrupted" and that they, HoI, and myself, are "racists". Crazycomputers grew tired of their refusal to listen to policy, and moved on, saying "this clearly is a case of I didn't hear that".

    I only interacted with them once at the ANEW report and was completely unaware of the rest of this. Having only talked with them briefly, I have to say I'm not terribly surprised at the IDHT trend. After linking them to WP:ONUS and WP:BRD their conclusion was that these pages don't say what they plainly say. (Nor WP:ONUS neither WP:BRD has such policy. Otherwise, you could revert any edit and then that editor would have been expected to open discussion.) I strongly suspect that when this user comes back they will return to their previous behavior and simply refuse to listen to anyone about anything. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 01:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Iranian Zazaki uncivil and WP:NOTHERE

    Iranian Zazaki (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    Please consider blocking User:Iranian Zazaki. I think this racist nonsensical response to a general notice on their talk page makes it sufficiently clear that they are WP:NOTHERE. Aside from that, their edits so far, nearly all reverted, have been non-constructive, unsourced, and in one case WP:UNCIVIL: [17], [18], [19], [20], [21].

    A person from Texas who is banned per WP:THREESTRIKES has asked to be unblocked. Rishabisajakepauler has used at least 16 sockpuppets and a wide array of IPs to evade his initial block. The bottom of User talk:Rishabisajakepauler contains his incorrectly formatted unblock request from yesterday, saying that he is older and wiser now.

Perhaps someone could mentor him. I am not in favor of granting him full pardon at this time. He must earn the community's trust. Binksternet (talk) 23:40, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Based on the sockpuppet investigation page they were socking as recently as October 26 of this year, so the standard offer would not apply, and they were also dropping racial slurs so I do not believe they have matured at all. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 00:21, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Another IP editor engaging in disruptive editing

    This IP user has received numerous warnings - from what I can see here all of their edits are disruptive and being reverted... their current target is floodplain Artem...Talk 06:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello, Artem P75, you are not correctly linking to pages. You don't need the entire "https://en.wikipedia...etc" if you are linking to a page, not an edit. That said, most of these notices that were posted happened some time ago and you have to supply "diffs" or edits that make you think this is an "urgent" or "intractible" case that belongs at ANI. You can't just link to their contributions, you have to point out diffs that violate our policies.
    Also, you have now brought two cases to ANI tonight. As I said, this is a noticeboard for some urgent problems that need to be immediately addressed (like WP:AIV. You haven't demonstrated why this case needs administrator attention. Liz Read! Talk! 07:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Assistance in cleanup of Hamish Ross LTA puppet damage

    NOTE: User intentionally not notified of this, as it appears to be an LTA. Please correct me if I'm wrong for not notifying.

    I've blocked Seawolf35 HGAV (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) as a very likely Hamish Ross puppet. As usual, lots of inappropriate warnings. This account has made a lot of edits and I could use some help in cleanup. If someone wants to jump in, please notify here. In the meantime, I'll start from the bottom of the list of edits and work up from there.— rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:10, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I just ran a mass-rollback on all of that account's edits. Any remaining edits are probably page creations that will need manual reverting. I'll start looking through those now. Home Lander (talk) 17:20, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm also starting to wonder what exactly I'm looking at. This user is acting like Hamish Ross but has other edits that are not like that. Would like an experienced admin to review what is going on. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:22, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Some of the mainspace edits were ok (reversion of actual vandalism); any that got caught by the mass-rollback I did have been self-reverted. Home Lander (talk) 17:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks. Had me worried that I misidentified the LTA. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not saying for certain this is Hamish Ross, but from the limited involvement I've had with them, it seems like it. Home Lander (talk) 17:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Home Lander, in the future, please wait for more confirmation before you mass rollback a user's edits. Mass rollback, like mass deletion, should only happen with obvious vandals and confirmed sockpuppets. Mass rollback is a drastic action to take against an editor. Have you reverted your reversions? Liz Read! Talk! 19:18, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    There’s not anything to sort out. I’ll just flat out apologize and explain my, in retrospect, incorrect actions. I’m on phone, so this might take a few minutes. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:59, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I noted the automated edit filter report indicating a possible Hamish Ross puppet. I then looked at the editing pattern and saw some odd patterns. Closing others edit requests, rapid templating, often IP addresses, and some unusual activity (e.g. the double template noted above. I then blocked as I was concerned about continued disruption and came here for help. However, after I started delving deeper into the edits to start reverting them, I found that I agreed with more than I disagreed with. At that point, I came back here to say I may have made a mistake, and asked for experienced help.
    Agsin, my sincere apologies for blocking based on an unusual pattern of editing rather than sreviewing each edit. I was over concerned with disruption, as Hamis Ross’s edits cause lots of puzzled and upset reactions. The though this might be that LTA led me to react faster than I normally do and is a lesson learned. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:10, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Now where can I get me one of those accidental block userboxes. Seawolf35 HGAV (talk) 19:30, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Earl of Arundel was blocked by Bbb23 for one week for Edit warring at Talk:2024 United States presidential election based on a report at WP:AN3; WP:BATTLEGROUND; WP:RGW; using Wikipedia as a soapbox. In response, they have twice ([22][23]) posted about the need for Congressional action to stop Wikipedia from "censorship" of conservatives, and to hold organizations such as this one accountable for their actions.

    I interpret this as a violation of WP:No legal threats, which states A legal threat, in this context, is a threat to engage in an off-wiki ("real life") legal or other governmental process that would target other editors or Wikipedia itself. Emphasis added. Bbb23 says they are on the fence about that. Do other admins think this constitutes an ongoing legal threat? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:47, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Any sort of threat made to force a specific action should be regarded as a summarily-blockable offence. I'd up the block to indef; even if it isn't strictly-speaking a legal threat the intent is very obvious. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:52, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They have made a third call for Congressional action, insisting it is not a legal threat, while accusing us of libel and lamenting the lack of laws to punish private organizations like the Wikimedia Foundation.[24] I guess they WP:IDHT when I tried to point out that the First Amendment applies to the government, not private entities. I would have indeffed them already but for being WP:INVOLVED. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Typically I won't care either way since we would usually laugh it off that it would be hard to find a way to force it through the Congress, but this is a concern, so yes. – robertsky (talk) 18:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I would say that interest in the talk page has increased in line with the election. I doubt it will fully quiet down until February, but we will see.

    I think it's a stretch as a legal threat. But it's a giant bucket of WP:CIVIL, WP:IDHT, WP:EW, and all sorts of related goodies. And I'm slightly sympathetic philosophically in at least one regard (I think we're too lax about MSNBC), but if this editor doesn't realize after eight years that a project based on consensus requires accepting that you may be on the losing side of an argument, I'm not sure how you go from there. Given that the editor has made useful contributions elsewhere before, why not consider simply a topic ban on WP:CT/AP? CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 11:05, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Personal attacks and disruptive behavior from Lgnxz

    For some context on the situation, on November 9, User:Lgnxz began a large-scale removal of the term "J-31" from the Shenyang J-35 article on the grounds that it was a "misnomer" (see this group of 14 edits). While this assessment is partially true in the case of the prototype, which is officially designated FC-31 and was sometimes called "J-31" by western media, this does not extend to at least one enlarged variant of the aircraft promoted by manufacturer Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and the Chinese state media known as the "J-31B". I confronted Lgnxz about this misconception on November 10, but Lgnxz repeatedly insisted that the video released by the aircraft's manufacturer, promoted by the Chinese media, and heavily analyzed by western media was somehow a mistake, citing nothing but WP:OR, WP:SYNTH, and the fallacious argument that the revelation of the J-35 designation disproves the existence of the enlarged J-31B which had already been confirmed by Chinese state media ([25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31]). I repeatedly asked for reliable sources confirming that the J-31B and J-35 were the same variant, but only got more WP:OR and claims that that the sources were already in the article (I was unable to find any such sources in the article). On top of that, Lgnxz dropped several personal attacks, first calling me an "avid wikipedia fundamentalist" and then saying that I was "clearly unwell". After I warned them about the second attack, they responded with this confusing, dare I say trolling comment.

    Earlier today, an IP removed sourced information about the J-31B from the article. I of course asked Lgnxz if it was them, to which they responded that "your paranoia would be very amusing for months to come". Given the repeated WP:IDNHT behavior and personal attacks, I think this is a case of WP:NOTHERE. - ZLEA T\C 00:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    ZLEA, this is clearly primarily a content dispute. Has this been discussed on the article talk page? Can you provide a link to any discussion? Liz Read! Talk! 03:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Liz This is primarily about the attacks and the disruptive behavior, not the dispute itself. I included details about the dispute as it gives context to the actual problem. - ZLEA T\C 04:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "I of course asked Lgnxz if it was them" And what would be your reason for accusing me? A baseless prejudice of course, given that despite the clear personal difference between us, I didn't do any petty vandalism or edit war in the J-35 page with you or any other people on any page, nor do I want to 'troll' you by extending this overextended topic any longer; I've said what I need to say about the J-31B. It just seems very ironic how you're accusing me for being 'disruptive' given how you try to accuse me without evidence that I use different IP to 'stealth edit' the J-31B section from the J-35, and with further attempt to escalate the matter to an Admin. Lgnxz (talk) 05:54, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If you didn't want an escalation, you should have stopped your personal attacks at the final warning, or better yet never made any attacks to begin with. I also made no accusations of sockpuppetry, I only asked if you were the IP based on a reasonable suspicion (not "baseless prejudice") since the IP performed an edit similar to one you made only a few days ago. It wouldn't have been the first time I caught such sockpuppetry, especially after the original account had supposedly dropped the subject. - ZLEA T\C 06:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "Editing while logged out can be considered sockpuppetry if used inappropriately. If it was you, please don't do it again."
    That sounds pretty accusatory to me. But please, keep bringing this up personally to me and about me instead of having a talk page in the J-35 page on the J-31B as mentioned by the admin. That'll truly show how disruptive and escalatory I am instead of vice versa, right? Lgnxz (talk) 07:32, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd be glad to have such a discussion on the article's talk page, but not with someone who throws around personal attacks as freely as you have these last few days. - ZLEA T\C 07:56, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, Lgnxz and ZLEA, if everyone can agree on no personal attacks or passive aggressive comments, can this discussion move to the article talk page? I've found when two editors are in a dispute like this, it really helps to get other knowledgeable editors to participate in the discussion so it's not a "me vs. you" situation. How about we try to move forward? Liz Read! Talk! 08:12, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I can agree to that. - ZLEA T\C 08:16, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Possible Gaming of Permissions Ethiopian Epic

    @Ethiopian Epic Only has 13 edits[32] all made in under an hour. 11 were to Government of Japan and the last two were made to Samurai, a semi-protected article. The changes made at Samurai are controversial, and were the subject of a Talk Page discussion. The dispute was also evidence in the Yasuke ArbCom case. The changes to the Samurai article are largely reverting to an earlier version, but done manually. It is unlikely that a new user would rewrite the article using earlier phrasing. It also removed cited material. Tinynanorobots (talk) 12:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This doesn't look like autoconfirmed gaming, it just looks like editing. I don't see anything in the recent arbcom case that applies here, either. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:51, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Really? 11 minor edits and then a big edit on a protected article? I find these two especially suspicious:[33][34]
    I just mentioned the ArbCom case for context, full disclosure etc. The T-ban on Yasuke, broadly construed, doesn't affect Samurai, right? Tinynanorobots (talk) 13:57, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The topic ban could, depending on the exact edit. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I would argue that a textbook example of "broadly construed" would be that a ban on Yasuke extends to the samurai article as well; otherwise "broadly construed" has no meaning. It means "give the topic the widest possible berth." EEng 16:35, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Tinynanorobots: can you provide a link to the revision of the article you are saying that they have largely reverted to?

Girth Summit (blether) 14:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, here is a change I made on 5. October[35]. It was changed by a different editor again in October [36] Ethiopian Epic then restored the version from before 5. October, as well as restored the disputed line about retainers. Since I had added some of the stuff that existed before 5.

    (ec x2) I'll say I appreciate your candor in admitting what might been a mistake. However, I'm going to see this as NOT a violation of your topic ban, as this was signing a petition to the WMF. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree with all the above, I don't think this was a deliberate violation of your topic ban and it was not intended, nor can it be interpreted as, disruptive. This seems a perfectly reasonable exception here. I appreciate your acknowledgement of the topic ban area, and I'd encourage re-adding your signature.
