- 이것은 이상한 것이고, 단지 IMDB와 같은 것들이 어떤 문제인지 보여준다.5/9/65 생년월일은 아마도 거기서부터 웹 상의 여러 곳으로 확산된 것 같다.하지만, 그 책은 그것이 잘못되었다는 것을 꽤 분명히 한다.예를 들어, 1980년부터 1983년까지 그와 함께 대학에 간 사람들 인터뷰는 1962년 생년월일을 명확하게 뒷받침하는 날짜로, "1980년에 찍은 우리(학생) 사진이 있어..."와 같은 명백한 진술을 포함하고 있다. 그가 대학을 떠난 후 1984년에 그와 밴드에서 연주했던 사람들과의 인터뷰,라디오 캠브리지셔에서 일하거나 1974년 어머니가 "그는 10대에 가까워지고 있었다"고 복귀했다는 사실에서 일하기도 했다.1990년대까지 책의 모든 날짜는 틀려야 할 것이다.그들은 분명히 그렇지 않다.우연히도, 이 책은 주제와 무관하다; 모리스는 그것에 기여하지 않았고, 단지 그 자신에 대한 다른 사람들과의 인터뷰에 대한 허가를 내줄 뿐이었다.블랙 카이트 (토크) 00:49, 2018년 1월 26일 (UTC)[

NPOV 푸시 및 스웨덴으로의 이민에 대한 일반 방해

한 달 이상 우리는 모든 영어 위키피디아에 쓰여진 최악의 하위 섹션 중 하나인 스웨덴으로의 이민을 고치려고 노력해왔다.NPOV와 관련하여 개선 및 주제 유지에 대한 모든 시도는 요약에서 편집한 내용에 대해 거짓말을 하고 WP에서 거짓 정보를 제공하는 사용자 스누간스누간스에 의해 차단되었다.ANI, WP:NPOV 알림판 및 토크 페이지.위키백과에 따르면 이것은 허용되지 않는다.거짓말하지 마.그는 또한 개선을 방해하기 위해 편집 전쟁을 벌인다.지난 번 그는 이 주제에서 사회학에 관한 메타 토론으로 관심을 끌었지만, 오늘부로 그의 잘못된 편집 요약에 초점을 맞추자[15].그는 이것이 반복된 정보가 아니라는 것을 매우 잘 알고 있다.그가 검열하려고 하는 것은 그가 가장 좋아하는 사르네키 교수의 발견에 반하는 1996년 보고서다.이것은 그가 검열하려고 하는 편집이다.
- 이민자들은 1974년[1] 이후 25개 이상의 다른 연구에서 범죄로 과잉 대표되어 왔으며, 가장 최근의 연구는 스웨덴 국가범죄예방협의회의 2005년이었다.[2]2017년 모건 요한슨 법무장관은 업데이트된 보고서의 요구를 거부했다.[3]
- 1996년 스웨덴 국가범죄예방이민자협의회(National Council for Crime Prevention Council for Crime Prevention)에서 스웨덴의 사회경제적 지위와 상관없이 40%가 더 많은 이민자 자녀들이 범죄를 저지르는 것을 보여주었다.[4][5]
그는 이것이 현재의 NPOV 이슈의 균형을 맞추는 기사에 대한 새로운 관련 정보라는 것을 완전히 잘 알고 있다.그는 구간의 여러 가지 반복을 고치려는 시도를 한 적이 없고 심지어 제거하려는 시도조차 막았다[16].이 섹션은 명백히 흐름의 개선이 필요하며 누락된 관점을 포함하고 있다.그는 또한 위키피디아에 대한 첫 논평에서 다음과 같이 거짓말을 했다.중립적인 관점/알림판우리가 기사를 개선할 수 있도록 그가 스웨덴과 관련된 어떤 것도 편집하지 못하도록 차단해 줄 수 있니?그는 위키피디아를 어기고 있다.너무 거짓말을 많이 해서 이번에 금지당하지 않으면 정책을 없애는 것조차 고려해야 한다. --임문모트블루스크린 (대화) 17:34, 2018년 1월 27일 (UTC)[

나도 알아. 하지만 네가 거절로 대답했다고 쓰여 있잖아. 내 편집 요청을 받아줘. 난 이 쇼의 열혈 팬이야. 부정으로 끝나는 걸 원치 않아. 내 편집 요청을 받아줘. 그리고 네가 나를 보고했고 나한테 이런 짓을 한 것도 네가 나를 화나게 만들었어. 왜냐하면 네가 정말 자랑스러워 할 테니까.쇼는 보지도 않았고 난 그저 쇼의 창작자들이 한 말을 그대로 말하고 있으니 그냥 페이지를 보호받지 못하게 만들고 또한 페이지가 보호되었을 때 마지막 편집은 내 편집이었는데 어떻게 다시 내 편집 내용을 바꾸게 되었는가?야, 제발 내가 다시 바꿀 수 있게 해줘 제발 제발.@EvergreenFi 나는 말 그대로 이 시점에서 너에게 부탁하고 있어. 제발 내가 시즌 5를 어떻게 해야 하는지 편집하게 해줘. 제발 부탁이야. 그냥 친절하게 부탁하는 거야.
애초에 내 편집 내용들을 삭제하는 걸 그만두셨더라면 절대 편집전이 벌어지지 않았을 텐데 엄밀히 말하면 이건 네 잘못이야 왜냐면 난 옳은 일을 편집하고 있었고 넌 내가 옳은 일을 하는 걸 싫어했으니까 이건 네 잘못이야 그냥 놔두지 않았다면 이런 일은 절대 일어나지 않았을 거야

좋아, 너희들과 얘기해보자. 난 여기 있는 어떤 것에도 해를 끼치고 싶지 않아. 그리고 만약 내가 그것을 편집하고 싶었더라면 미안해. 내가 원하는 것은 그것뿐이야.상록수 페이지 편집한 거 정말 미안해 내가 물어본 질문에 대답하지 않아서 그 사람과 얘기해야 했어.나는 여러 번 질문을 많이 했는데 아무도 답을 주지 않아서 관심을 끌기 위해 1면에 나갔고, 그래서 관심을 끌 수 있어서 다행이야. 그냥 여기서 말하고 싶은 건 아무 해도 끼치지 않을 거야.

나는 WP를 보고 있다.CPUSH 에세이는, 이러한 것들 중 얼마나 많은 것들이 러시아 간섭 기사에서 몇 달 동안 매일 하고 있는 것을 묘사하고 있는지 체크한다.

- * 이들은 WP의 요구 사항 이상으로 언어를 줄이고, 불합리하게 배제, 한계화 또는 관점을 밀어붙이려 한다.NPOV 또는 유사 과학, 괴짜, 음모 이론, 한계 민족주의 또는 역사적 관점 등 변두리 이론에 과도한 비중을 둔다.마치 "러시아의 간섭" 앞에 "조용"을 붙이려고 몇 번이고 반복해서 노력하는 것처럼 말이다.
- * 그들은 명백하거나 잘 알려진 정보에 대해 경박하게 인용구를 요청한다.내가 그들을 불러내기 직전에 그들이 하는 것처럼.
- * 그들은 중립적인 관점의 정책에 대해 끝없이 논쟁하며 특히 과도한 비중 조항을 약화시키려고 노력한다. 그들은 "검증할 수 있으므로 반드시 들어가야 한다"는 이유로 주변적으로 관련이 있는 정보를 추가하려고 한다.
- * 그들은 반복적으로 토크 페이지를 비누 복싱에 사용하고/또는 이미 여러 번 논의된 동일한 이슈를 다시 제기한다.
- * 그들은 더 진지한 편집자들을 지치고 그들의 틈새 POV에서 이상한 방식으로 전문가가 되면서 영원히 돌아다닌다. 그들은 자신들의 관점에 더 많은 투자를 하기 때문에 경쟁자들보다 오래 간다.
- * 그들은 종종 다른 편집자들을 지치게 하기 위해 논평, 조정 또는 중재를 위해 경솔하고 시간을 낭비하는 일련의 요청을 한다.

- 당신, 여기:
오, 내 관점을 설명하게 되어서 기뻐그 기사는 선거 개입에 관한 것이다.간섭의 일부 측면은 2016년 3월경 언론에 처음 보도되었고, 이후 선거 운동 기간 내내 여러 매체에 보도되었다.그 후 선거가 끝난 후 우리는 정보계가 이것을 추적해왔다는 것을 공식적으로 확인했고 2017년 1월 초에 소위 JAR을 갖게 되었다.이제는 사건 자체와 그 사건들을 폭로한 출처와 보도를 구분하는 것이 중요하다고 생각한다.분명히 조사와 폭로의 과정은 진행 중이고 우리는 아직 모든 다양한 형태의 간섭과 그 정도와 효과에 대한 완전한 설명을 가지고 있지 않다.그래서, JAR에 무엇이 들어있든, 그것의 저자들은 때때로 상반되는 두 니즈의 균형을 맞추기 위해 거기에 배치되었다.그나저나 이것은 밝혀진 어떤 국가 정보 추정치에도 해당된다.우리의 정보원이나 방법은 밝히지 않으면서 간섭에 대한 정보를 최대한 대중에게 제공하는 것이 목표다.그 제약조건으로 볼 때, JAR의 정보는 불완전했다.보안 허가를 받은 관리들이 이용할 수 있는 정보는 훨씬 더 광범위하고 상세했다.오늘날에도 여전히 그렇다.
JAR이 나온 후 JAR이 아직 분류된 세부사항을 밝힐 수 없기 때문에 보고서의 결론이 부정확하다고 주장하는 다양한 편집자들을 구하기 시작했다.우리는 처음에 그런 편집자들이 많았다.이제 우리는 소수로 전락했다.그들은 이러한 가장 가까운 관점에 대한 한계적 근원을 인용하며, 그들의 POV에 대해 상당히 단호하다.그들은 JAR의 세부사항 수준에 큰 의미를 부여하고 있다. 왜냐하면 그들은 러시아인들이 미국에 대항하는 어떤 사이버 전쟁에 연루되었는지에 대해 의문을 제기하는 것 같기 때문이다.하지만 이건 말도 안 되는 소리야.그 보고서는 이야기의 일부에 대한 하나의 설명에 불과하다.이야기 자체가 간섭 그 자체다.그것이 내 요점이었다. 보고서 자체에 대한 이러한 집착은 타겟에서 벗어난 것이다.

Geogene’s bad faith accusations on my Talk page
User:Geogene, who on his User page claims to have ragequit Wikipedia because he disagrees with Jimmy Wales, came to my Talk page a couple days ago with this bad faith accusation. I banned him from my page, as I was working on an article and the accusation was on its face absurd. Indeed, while I !voted against the idea of a boomerang topic ban for the OP, in my Oppose I noted that the OP should not have brought the matter to AN/I in the first place, urging compromise.
In my response to Geogene specious allegations, in which I note I could recall no previous interaction between us, I pointed out on my Talk page that his astonishing accusations were a breach of WP:AGF. Despite my ban, he returned with the declaration “let that be a lesson to you.”
I again asked him to stay off my page, and gave the matter no further thought. However, I then noticed a ping from Geogene, made before his Talk page attack, where he wanted to inform me of his snarky comment [46] on my !vote regarding the boomerang, which is his reference to a contentious ArbCom case from 2015.
Geogene has a long memory, it seems. So long, that it seems clear to me he sees me as an enemy and assumes (wrongly) that I feel the same. It’s clear to me that his edits are acting on a grudge, a clear violation WP:BATTLEGROUND.
Now it occurred to me to use the Editor Interaction Tool, where I discovered this MfD discussion, [47] also from 2015, that I had completely forgotten. In the thread, in a section later hatted, Geogene accuses me of making a personal attack, gains zero traction, and, though unable or unwilling to trouble with the correct spelling of my Username, apologizes for his accusation, but only after being urged to by others. [48].
In his cherry-picked diffs on my Talk page, Geogene purports to show I am following his edits, and worse, prepping my !vote-stalking with set up edits to other threads on this page, which if true would be a very high level of devious behavior. Until now, Geogene was someone I couldn’t recall, a minor player in a minor dispute from years ago, and after 75k edits, frankly an eminently forgettable editor. But now I see that his meretricious attack on my good name is not the first time he’s done this. And this time, an apology won’t cut it.
I hereby ask that Geogene be sanctioned. I ask for a non-involved admin to review this, with my choice being that an admin indef block Geogene now, pending further review. If the above matter, initiated by Humanengr, is closed, I ask that this section be kept open for further discussion and review until it can be closed with resolution. Geogene’s attempt to bully and intimidate, as I see it, requires prompt and firm action.
And if my own truthfulness and trustworthiness are in doubt, I’ll point out that my identity is known to the Wikimedia Foundation, having been personally active in the San Francisco WMF offices. Jusdafax (talk) 03:54, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- They could "indef" me for....something or other. Or, Jusdafax could quit stalking my edits at AN/I. Does anyone give a damn that they volunteered to answer phones (or something) in San Francisco? Sad. Geogene (talk) 04:11, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Make your case for me being a “stalker.” But I’ll observe you don’t begin very well. Jusdafax (talk) 04:24, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- It's on your talk page. Where you should have left well enough alone. But seriously. Do you think it matters if you were the best toilet scrubber (or whatever) that the WMF could find who would work for free? Do you think the community owes you for that? I don't. I think you're minimally competent as an editor, you seem to have that weird sense of entitlement, and you stir a lot of drama. And that wouldn't be any of my business, except that you have an uncanny way of knowing when I'm at AN/I for something. Am I the only participant in the GMO arbcom case you've been stalking? Should I have a look? Hmm... Geogene (talk) 04:35, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Why did you un-hat this? SPECIFICO talk 04:39, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- It was somebody logged out [49]. But the rationale is doubtful, since you're not involved in this subsection. Of course, that's the structural problem with AN/I. An editor that causes disruption can be brought here, several editors can endorse a sanction...and then any busybody with a long-term grievance against any editor(s) in favor of sanctions can derail it out of spite. Everyone has seen that once or twice before. Geogene (talk) 05:34, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- As you mentioned the GMO topic, Jusdafax was warned at AE as a result of this tendency to follow around editors to admin boards. I honestly wasn't expecting to see their name here when I saw the initial conflict. This looks like be a retaliatory attempt in continuing that battleground behavior that can easily boomerang on them given that previous warning. The above known identity / WMF stuff looks like some very strange special pleading too. It's concerning that this is still going on after all this time.Kingofaces43 (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- That cuts both ways, King. Rather than relitigate the GMO case and its aftermath, I am asking for action to be taken on the matter I raise above. Geogene’s charge that I am a “stalker” is a serious one. You want to make this about me as a tactic, but it’s all about Geogene’s abusive accusations, for which no substantial evidence has been produced. Your continued hostility toward me doesn’t change the facts that right here, right now, there is active WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior by Geogene, and you are coming here to stir the pot.

- To review: I made a !vote at ANI, on the above thread, for no sanctions for the OP but asking for compromise. Geogene has the gall to claim that !vote is stalking (with added gratuitous insults towards me) and that I !voted here three days earlier to set up my !vote for no sanctions, which by the way a goodly number of others agree with. So, he attacks me on my Talk page, intended to have a chilling effect and snarks on my !vote about the ArbCom case, which he, and now you, want to make it seem to the community that I can’t get over. But ANI is a highly public page, and I have a long history of comment and discussion here.
- It seems to me that Geogene’s 2015 direct apology to me, which I utterly forgot as trivial, for the same type of bad faith accusations he is making here, has festered, and when I spoke up here he snapped. It also seems you both expect me to be afraid of you, with your veiled threats, which I think is the core of this matter. I mentioned my WMF work proudly to establish my good character, as opposed to the hateful rant Geogene expresses on his user page. Furthermore, Geogene attacks my character with references to “cleaning toilets.” This is who you are standing up for? Right. I again ask for an uninvolved admin to review this matter. Jusdafax (talk) 23:22, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- I consider Jusdafax to be one of the top prima donnas in Wikipedia. The WMF thing is either something they bring out to try to convince everyone how very special they are, or they actually believe that the Office owes them a few free blocks or something. Neither explanation is flattering. This sort of character, combined with their GMO conflict history, their tendency to fly off into bombastic rages at the first sign of criticism, and what seems to be a biased cluelessness about policy are all reasons why I'm not excited that they keep inviting themselves into board threads about me. This needs to stop, and if it continues, then I have every right to continue to initiate discussion about it on their talk page, if they like it or not. If that fails, I'll take it to AE. If they want to convince anyone they're not hounding me around the boards, I'm not sure how repeatedly complaining about some apology I gave them in 2015 is supposed to clear them of anything. I also think it's ridiculous that they started this thread claiming they don't see me as some sort of enemy, and then immediately called for me to be blocked indefinitely. That's weird; a lot of things about Jusdafax seem to be like that. I dislike them, that sentiment is clearly mutual, and it would be best for everyone if they would just stop looking for opportunities for conflict with me. Geogene (talk) 05:18, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- At this point, given how Jusdafax is trying to ignore the previous warnings (more special pleading) about the long history of the vexatious use of ANI/AE to follow around editors as you and others have described, it would be fair for an admin to enforce the GMO discretionary sanctions here for something like a one-way interaction ban without a need for the community to vote on it. That being said, you could also document the long history, especially in the GMO topic that both you and Jusdafax (as well as myself) have been involved in to varying degrees at AE as a followup to their previous warning there. It would be a mixture of GMO and politics DS since the disruptive behavior in the GMO behavior seems to be proxying over to this politics topic now.
- I consider Jusdafax to be one of the top prima donnas in Wikipedia. The WMF thing is either something they bring out to try to convince everyone how very special they are, or they actually believe that the Office owes them a few free blocks or something. Neither explanation is flattering. This sort of character, combined with their GMO conflict history, their tendency to fly off into bombastic rages at the first sign of criticism, and what seems to be a biased cluelessness about policy are all reasons why I'm not excited that they keep inviting themselves into board threads about me. This needs to stop, and if it continues, then I have every right to continue to initiate discussion about it on their talk page, if they like it or not. If that fails, I'll take it to AE. If they want to convince anyone they're not hounding me around the boards, I'm not sure how repeatedly complaining about some apology I gave them in 2015 is supposed to clear them of anything. I also think it's ridiculous that they started this thread claiming they don't see me as some sort of enemy, and then immediately called for me to be blocked indefinitely. That's weird; a lot of things about Jusdafax seem to be like that. I dislike them, that sentiment is clearly mutual, and it would be best for everyone if they would just stop looking for opportunities for conflict with me. Geogene (talk) 05:18, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- It seems to me that Geogene’s 2015 direct apology to me, which I utterly forgot as trivial, for the same type of bad faith accusations he is making here, has festered, and when I spoke up here he snapped. It also seems you both expect me to be afraid of you, with your veiled threats, which I think is the core of this matter. I mentioned my WMF work proudly to establish my good character, as opposed to the hateful rant Geogene expresses on his user page. Furthermore, Geogene attacks my character with references to “cleaning toilets.” This is who you are standing up for? Right. I again ask for an uninvolved admin to review this matter. Jusdafax (talk) 23:22, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- Otherwise, this section really should have been left closed given the rest of it being closed unless Jusdafax is really intent on ignoring their previous warnings and risking a boomerang for the same behavior that's gotten them in trouble before. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:10, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
Everybody calm down
If I dare submit an oversimplified thread summary: Humanengr came here to complain about Geogene, didn't get much traction, then Specifico agitated for sanctions against Humanengr, got mixed reactions (7 support, 7 oppose), and now Judasfax is opening a secondary case against Geogene. I believe everybody should cool down: nobody needs to be sanctioned for getting a bit obnoxious about what is ultimately a content dispute. Civility and AGF warnings may be enough to bring all editors back to productivity. — JFG talk 09:37, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Is a consensus to remove an entire category of articles sufficient reason to delete them all?

See [50]. This discussion as open for 26 days, the airline project was informed and a post was made ont he categories talk page as well. Once we had a close with a clear consensus that we should no longer have these articles, I began deleting them. I am now being told that that consnesus was not binding and all these deletions must be discussed again at WP:AFD. There is also some suggestion that I am somehow violating WP:INVOLVED. Seeking broader input as discussion on my tal page does not seem sufficient to decide this broader issue. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Obviously a consensus to delete a category does not give a consensus to delete every article within that (former) category. That's absurd logic. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:37, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

- And the RFC was not a discussion of whether to delete the category but rather to get rid of all articles within said category. So there’s the question: is that consensus just a formality, and despite WP:CON and WP:NOTBURO is unenforceable and AFD is absolutely required? Beeblebrox (talk) 22:47, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

- In fairness, it looks like the RFC was meant to cover the articles in the category, not just the category itself. Still, I don't think it's very wise to effectively speedy delete FLs (and other pages) without even tagging them, as was the case for at least one of the articles. I could see doing that for a BLP violation or copyvio, but not in this case. The pages should have gone to AFD, where the nominator could have used the RFC result as evidence in favor of deleting the articles. Instead we have another drama-fest in the making, which could easily have been prevented. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- So, the consensus is meaningless unless it is re-established at AFD? Honestly asking as that seems to be the argument most people are making and I’ve never heard it before. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:01, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- No, you just misinterpreted how to respond after the consensus. And then, to refuse a polite request to restore deleted material based on your own interpretation is even worse. Just restore the deleted material, it's not controversial in any sense, and your refusal to do so is actually strongly against what we would hope our admins would do.

- I would view the RfC as an approval to place the prod tag on individual articles. The RfC mentioned Lists which it's not clear that these articles are "Lists" without "Lists of" in the name and if they are, they are standalone lists. Please undo the deletions. these are arguably not lists and the articles can have different information seperate from a list. --DHeyward (talk) 23:11, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

- Here's an example why this was a bad idea: Eastern Air Lines destinations was deleted. It's a defunct airline so it's destinations are historical, not an index. Eastern Air Lines exists. Eastern Air Lines#Destinations is now a section that only has a red link. I imagine there is now a red link in all the articles. "Where did Eastern Airlines fly?" is a legitimate question that Wikipedia could answer up until the deletions. --DHeyward (talk) 23:21, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- I am of course aware I was creating tons of redlinks. The system informs you when deleting a page if anything else links to it, but I can’t do everything at once, I had barely gotten half the deletions done when it suddenly turned into a drama fest on my talk page, so the whole thing’s stopped for now while we figure this out. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:28, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

- Personally, I'm less concerned with the red links than the removal. Simply deleting the section in Eastern Air Lines#Destinations wasn't in the purview of the RfC and the historical record of the information has been removed even though it will never be updated (it's not an indiscriminate index, it's a historical record - you can't use that list to find out where Eastern Airlines will take you)). Had this been at AfD, a merge is likely the result. Many of these articles have lists inside the articles such as Accidents or Hijackings. Splitting destinations was likely a an article size issue. These articles are case by case.). I'm also not interested in finger pointing. Eastern Airlines was my first guess at a problem and it brought up more issues than I even suspected which is why I would like the information restored. It's less work than moving them to Draft or User space which would be my next request since I can no longer see the material. --DHeyward (talk) 00:12, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

- I still haven't heard a compelling explanation as to why airline destinations have been deemed eeeeevil and must be destroyed (apparently without following standard process -- seriously, wtf?), but bus and train schedules are hunky dory. Wouldn't the "Wikipedia is not a directory, go to their web site!" argument apply there as well?

I edited the Sri Lanka Signals Corps article a couple times a few months ago in an attempt to clear up some of the problems with grammar and referencing, and User:Sanathndk began making edits with no support in the citations I'd used, which was the Corps' official website. He also started making edits to the formatting of officers' names and their initials, making, for instance B.H.M.A (which I'd put in, following what I'd observed as general Wikipedia style on initials) with B H M A, and then began loading the article with strings of postnominals after nearly every officer's name. When I tried reverting these to prevent the article from becoming one long mess of abbreviations, he reverted the edits giving no explanation of why he was doing so. I then gave up making any edits to the article when this email was sent to me, but went ahead and wrote him a message on his talk page, to which I've had no reply.
This guy clearly believes the page is his property, and while the issues here are minor, the problem lies in the fact that he's made no effort to engage in a discussion, and is loading the article with fluff and unverified information. I noticed just a while ago that he's gone ahead and put in another inline citation which is just a link to the frontpage of the Sri Lanka Army website, which doesn't back up the statement he's used it as a citation for. I'd undo this, but at this point, I don't want to get called out for creating an edit war. Could someone have a look through this all? - ක - (talk) 16:28, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

I have directed them to WP:Communication is required, WP:V and WP:BURDEN, but no response. The unreferenced articles include: Rondoniense Social Clube, Pinheirense Esporte Clube, Campeonato Paraense Second Division, Clube Atlético Itapemirim, Real Desportivo Ariquemes Futebol Clube and Sociedade Desportiva Sparta. Gladson do Nascimento and Santiago Krieger are unreferenced/unclearly referenced biographies of living persons.
Also seems to be the same editor as the (lately inactive) Raefaelgooner. I have run out of other ideas for how to address these issues. Boleyn (talk) 21:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Déjà vu again, Boleyn! I've blocked this one indefinitely also, with the same comment. User:Raefaelgooner doesn't seem to exist, might there be a typo? One theory would be that perhaps all those editors don't respond because they don't speak English, or don't trust their English, and have been creating articles by cut and paste. Have there been any copyright issues? (I can't face checking — I didn't really expect to find myself doing three of them. Have to go to bed now! Please stop! 😉) Bishonen talk 22:27, 28 January 2018 (UTC).
- Sorry, it's User:Rafaelgooner. There don't seem to be copyright issues, but yes, those reasons are all possibilities for why they don't answer, lots also think they've done their bit by writing an article, and just don't get the idea that it should be sourced. I have a watchlist for repeat offenders I have tried to communicate with many times, but that's it for now! Thanks for all your help, Bishonen. Boleyn (talk) 06:54, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Boleyn: I've received an e-mailed unblock request from RafaelRL1905, in Portuguese. So I guess there's a language problem. It's not clear to me if they knew they have a talkpage or not, but of course I've directed them to it now. But if they can't communicate in English at all, the English Wikipedia isn't a good fit for them, and I told them so frankly. It's a collaborative project. Bishonen talk 14:14, 29 January 2018 (UTC).

- There's probably a good reason AIV admins don't normally block just for triggering the edit filter: It's really not disruptive on its own. Also, I just discovered the "uw-attempt" series of warnings (

If you want to talk with me First, Please sign up with wikipedia otherwise your IP with show and I will know where are you from.
I don't care if this IP is block evading, that sort of "I can tell where you are in real life" statement is threatening to most people, and shouldn't be expected to calm a situation.

I just angry because he insult me and he try to make me aggravate, Actually I just tell him to sign up wikipedia becuase IP address can identify his action and his location so when he do something he must realize that in history page,we know who did it or not everyone know it from this he must respect other people and editing with reference everytime. From my word that make you misunderstand, I am sorry for this and I don't want to hurt him in real life I just warn him. Thank You Ministerboy (talk) 06:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

This user seems to support him, and added a nonsensical test edit on my talk page here. I have recently gotten a user blocked as he was harassing me (this user) after I undone his pending edit, but he undone it and harassed me. I undone his harassment but he added another one. I undone it again but he undone my edit on my talk page. He seems that he does not want to stop. He used his talk page to harass me again, so his user page access was revoked. I begged him to stop, but he blanked the page. He might harass me in 24 hours' time as his block expires then, and he keeps on calling me... let's just say rude names.

They are more likely to change IP address than wait for a block to expire. In the future don't hesitate to report them to admins (either at WP:AIV or SPI), and if they continue hassling your talk page, or any articles, then seek some temporary semi-protection (WP:RFPP).

Divergence5 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has edit warred and used inappropriate edit summaries on Magnus Carlsen, Roger Federer and a number of other high-profile sports bios.
On Magnus Carlsen they edit warred in June 2017, after which I opened a talk page discussion. They did not participate in that discussion until 18 August, the day after they began edit warring again, using edit summaries such as "STOP YOUR TERRIBLE EDITS NOW. NOW!!!" and "I don't know what the talk page is. ... You're illogical". They returned yesterday to make the same edit, without any further discussion on the talk page. Their latest revert had the summary "Sorry mate, u wrong".
They have made similar edits on Roger Federer, edit warring while using ALL CAPS in edit summaries (1, 2,3, 4), and calling another editor an "idiot" when reverting their changes. In their past 500 edits, ranging back to May 2014, they have made 0 edits to Talk:Roger Federer.
They have acted similarly on Rafael Nadal, again using edit summaries such as "Bad edits. DO NOT EXTEND the lead.". They have also made 0 edits to that article's talk page. Hrodvarsson (talk) 10:16, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- I just picked one of the articles (Federer) and reviewed the recent history of the page. Have you tried to discuss this with the editor, either on Talk:Roger Federer or on their talk page? To a degree I can understand his frustration, as peacock terms are forever appearing in the article ([75] for example), but he does need to be a little more collegiate in his editing approach. fish&karate 13:55, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- The only interaction I have had with this person is on Magnus Carlsen. I listed the other things as examples of this conduct across multiple articles. I do not have Roger Federer on my watchlist and have not edited that article so I do not know the specifics of the content dispute(s). The same ALL CAPS plus insults in edit summaries tied with a refusal to discuss their edits on the talk page is what I was referencing. I understand WP:PEACOCK but how is that related to reverting someone with the only explanation being "idiot"? WP:BITE, WP:SUMMARYNO. Hrodvarsson (talk) 14:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Repeated creation of unreferenced articles. I have contacted this editor seven times over a period of three months, but have had no responses despite pointing them towards WP:Communication is required. Please see User talk:Bosna Sarajevo, where I have detailed the unreferenced articles they have created and refused to discuss or add sources to. This editor has been editing for six years but has never responded to another editor's messages. I have run out of other options to try to address this. Boleyn (talk) 21:42, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hello there Boleyn! 😀 Blocked indefinitely with the usual explanations, see e. g. [76]. Bishonentalk 23:01, 29 January 2018 (UTC).
- That editor seems to have some communication problems. I had my doubts that he speaks English, so after receving no answers after my first posts at his talk-page in English, I tried in Serbo-Croatian (his native language as Bosnian) but, again, I receved no answers. I called his attention several times for issues he was doing wrong, and some of them he did corrected after my explanations to him at his talk, so by that it means he does read the posts at his talk-page, but never answers. Honestly, I doubt he understands the rules such as notability, and I doubt he is able to understand them, as well as understanding well English (I think all of his articles were created in a copy/paste manner from already existing ones). I guess it is a youngster we are dealing here. He should edit his own language Wikipedia, so unless he starts responding, an indef-block looks fine.

On 25 Jan, Störm left a message on my talk page telling me that I need to “notify” checkuser about my “alternate accounts”. This was surprising as I joined Wikipedia 3 months ago as an inexperienced user who used AFC to submit drafts. After getting my drafts approved, I started editing Wikipedia as a regular user and I did not make any other account either. However, three days later, they left a similar message again on my talk page with “more sureness”. They said that they were sure that I was using two accounts but at the same time they wrote that they could not find suspicious behavior. Like their previous communication, they asked me to leave the other account. This is upsetting as I do not maintain any other account other than this one (I did recently get my user name renamed but that should not be a problem.) I feel this is a kind of harassment. Is there any way they can stop discriminating me or I can prove my “innocence”. M A A Z T A L K 20:07, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, that's harassment. @Störm: if you have evidence that this user is abusing multiple accounts then file an investigation at WP:SPI. Otherwise leave them alone. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:12, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Ma'az: it's required when you discuss an editor on this page that you place a notice on their talk page notifying them of the discussion, usually using the {{ani-notice}} template. I have done that for you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:20, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- I was figuring the way to leave the message using the said template but you sent before I could. Thank you. M A A Z T A L K 20:23, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Ivanvector:Störm had a very god reason for asking, since Ma'az obviously isn't a new user, but someone with considerable experience here. Their very first edit was creating an article with references and all, an article they then added to all through that day, before submitting it to AfC (who declined it...), and they then resumed editing that article the next day, including filling in bare references withreFill, a tool no new user would know about. So, Ma'az, which other accounts have you had before you created this one? - TomThomas.W talk 21:07, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call needing 80 edits to create a fairly straightforward draft a sign of "considerable experience". Based on the evidence presented this looks like a witch hunt.

- (edit conflict)@Thomas.W: You cannot force another user to declare perceived account to you. This is serious allegations without evidence and well borders on harassment . if you have evidence file SPI, if you don't, then stop this please and apologize. –Ammarpad (talk) 21:18, 29 January 2018 (UTC).
- (edit conflict)I suggest you check Ma'az's talkpage, i.e. do a little legwork, before trying to tell users who have more experience in this kind of thing than you have what to do. Multiple users have asked Ma'az on their talk page which other accounts they have had, not only Störm, and Ma'az's replies are a good reason for suspecting that they, indeed, aren't new (check this section). Besides, requesting a CU-check at SPI without having a clue about a possible master would probably be declined as being just fishing. - Tom Thomas.W talk 21:48, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, actually you're right right I am not experienced in ABF and going around people's talkpage asking them to name their alternate accounts. I have made a number of edits to SPI and majority of people I reported have been proven and blocked because I went there with evidence. If you have it file case, if you don't have, continue your work of experienced users. –Ammarpad (talk) 23:22, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Thomas.W: Actually, it is just favoritism. Using ReFill is not a crime nor a matter of experience. ReFill is automatic tool and I found it the way of beautifying references from the link given in article’s history. M A A Z T A L K 21:38, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Why did you report Störm only, and not Saqib? - Tom Thomas.W talk 21:47, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

- And about my talk page, read that section carefully. Nowhere in my talk page any other user has accused me of other accounts. M A A Z T A L K 22:10, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hello Ma'az -- When I started, I got hammered not once but twice. When I tried to defend myself, the attacks were redoubled. The argument was, An innocent person would not defend herself so vigorously. It was a self-sealing argument. Eventually, the SPI Clerk declared me not guilty. With time, the catcalls from the back benches about the conclusive evidence of my peculiar English and strange misspellings ("behavioral investigation") subsided. Protest, or not, eventually they will find someone else to pick on. Go forward and edit boldly. Rhadow (talk) 21:54, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for your support :) . I have seen on Wikipedia that certain experienced users (who although are quite respectable) misuse their experience to bully other users.

- (edit conflict) Frankly, I don't give a flying fuck whether or not this user is a returning user who might have had an account previously; creating new accounts, even many accounts, does not in and of itself violate any English Wikipedia policy. If you have evidence that this user is editing contrary to the multiple accounts policy, put this evidence in an SPI and it will be investigated. If all you have is a hunch that they might be a returning user just because they know how things work but you can't connect them to any specific actions that contravene the policy, but you continue following them around insisting they tell you what their prior account is, then Ammarpad has aptly described what you are doing as a witch hunt, but what you are doing is also harassment and it is not supposed to be tolerated here. User:Ritchie333/SPI considered harmful has some useful insights on this. Congrats on your 50,000th edit btw. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:17, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Unwarranted aggression from Anmolbhat
Both users were given some great advice, the edit war appears to have subsided, and the parties appear to be on the talk page. Hopefully, they will stick to civil discussion from here on out. Swarm ♠ 17:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC) |

I find this sort of aggressive behavior by User:Anmolbhat (complete with threats and unjustified accusations of POV pushing) to be against the spirit of collaboration. Is there any disciplinary action which can address these unwarranted threats? Instead of offering a source that supports the assertion that the Sindhi diaspora is made up ONLY of Sindhis that migrated before Pakistan’s formation in 1947, we have a user who aggressively asserts otherwise by making an unwarranted reversion, and who threatens users with bans while totally ignoring the logic behind rewording of a lead paragraph that was originally written in a way to deny that Sindhis have migrated out of Sindh even after Pakistani independence.
For reference, this is the edit he claimed was POV. Its common sense that Sindhis didn’t just migrate during the British era. (Addendum: for example, there are semi regular reports of Sindhi Hindus migrating from Pakistan to India, like this) No source provided claims otherwise. Even if he wanted a source to state the obvious, the threats and aggression are completely unwarranted. As are his attempts to smear my edits.
One more addendum, he wrote in his message: “By being a lone opposer of sanctions against Pakhighway and blaming "editors from India" for Pakhighway's WP:CIR,[77] without naming one such editor with evidence, you proudly endorsed his disruption and doing exactly what has forced others to seek sanctions against Pakhighway. But what else one would expect from a disruptive editor like yourself? It would be better if you avoid disruption before others have to seek sanctions against you.“
The opinion I expressed was this. I think it was calm and rational, not “proudly” “endorsing” disruptive behavior. I did add more to my statement than what he quoted (see the last link I posted) but a review of the time stamps shows that my completed comment in full was up several hours before his message to me - so he saw the entire opinion I expressed. The aggressive tone, and warnings of dire consequences for what he finds so objectionable appear to me to be nothing short of intimidation.Willard84 (talk) 08:39, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Anmolbhat does need to tone it down and start being a bit quicker to discuss and slower to just revert, but I'm not seeing enough reason to block him just yet. If this does turn into a long term pattern, he sets himself up to be topic banned or blocked. Your tags seemed reasonable, but you keep adding info that may or may not be correct but aren't sourced. According to WP:BRD, you need to take it to the talk page or at least source them before putting them back. That doesn't justify his aggressiveness (and the silly warning he put on your page), but it is a path forward for you. Fighting over unsourced material is just a content dispute and not a strong one. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:42, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Willard84, it is not a threat but a general warning, given your history of editing as well as your recent editing where you are pushing POV of Pakhighway on the article without participating on the talk page and edit warring to enforce his POV, because he canvassed you.[78] Attacking people by citing their nationalities especially without evidence is casting WP:ASPERSIONS and it will lead to a topic ban. "those from India", "indian nationalist editors",[79] is how you referred. I am shocked that you are still not grasping the issues with your statement. You have also tried to support Pakhighway on a different article recently,[80] which was unwarranted.
- Why you are appealing topic ban of Pakhighway[81]? It still seems that you are endorsing his disruption and not getting over the result of the thread. Don't bring your content dispute here, and you had to consult me before filing a complaint about your content dispute. Read the above notice of this page, "Before posting a grievance about a user here, please consider discussing the issue with them on their user talk page."
- @Dennis Brown: it is also clear that Willard84 made zero attempts to discuss this issue on my talk page and came here to seek sanctions. I left a warning to willard84 because he had been warned by an admin few months ago that more edit warring will lead to topic ban.[82] My warning was merely a reminder. He was tagbombing something that is already sourced [83] and was being discussed on talk page with multiple sources backing it.[84] What I don't understand is that why he did this only after he realized that he is not going to win this content dispute?

- WP:Don't template the regulars is a good read. Instead, it is better to start a discussion on the article talk page (in a calm, neutral manner), STOP reverting, and then go to their talk page and just say "I've started a discussion on the talk page of the article. Rather than keep reverting each other, lets find some common ground. Out of good faith, I've left the article as is until we can get others to pipe in and work it out.". Be the bigger man/woman. This might sound simplistic, but it works. People get in too big of a hurry to force THEIR version today, instead of being patient and forming a consensus on the talk page that an admin can clearly see. If someone is then fighting against that consensus, then we can block for disruptive editing. Until there is a clear consensus, all we see is edit warring and a content dispute. This applies to BOTH OF YOU, and half the editors here, for that matter. Both of you would do good to quit pointing fingers and instead swallow a little pride, and just go hammer out a compromise on the talk page. That is how good articles get written, and that is the goal of Wikipedia. Everyone has a POV or bias of some kind. Pointing it out is seldom helpful and tends to just aggravate the situation.

I’d like to point out that I did in fact try to discuss the issue. You can see the response I gave on my talk page here: This really is a troublesome matter. Diaspora includes recent migrants, and not just those compelled to migrate. There is no time qualifier to the definition of the word. That is, you didn’t gave to emigrate prior to 1947 to be in diaspora. Diaspora just means members of a community who migrated abroad. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_people#Diaspora. That’s why there’s a section on Sindhi Americans on the diaspora page. Are you seriously claiming that these people migrated before Pakistan was a country?? To pretend the Sindhi diaspora doesn’t come from Sindh province of Pakistan defies logic. If you think Sindhis only emigrated during British times, and not modern times too, then you need a source for that. Because that truly defies logic. I personally know Sindhis who immigrated from Pakistan, and so are this members of the diaspora. I’ve included mention of both facts. And let’s not forget that wide scale exodus of Hindus from Sindh didn’t begin until Karachi riots in early 1948 [1] - when Pakistan was indeed a country. So many Sindhi migrants in India came from Pakistan, not British India, as is being claimed without reference. Also, where’s the reference saying they also emigrated from Punjab? If it’s in the lead, it needs to be a substantial number. Willard84 (talk) 23:29, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
It was to this that he wrote his initial threat, without even addressing a single point that I made!. In it I address the fact that the outrageous claim that Sindhis only migrated during the British era is silly. Does the more obvious fact that Sindhis have migrated even after 1947 need a citation while his preferred version suggesting that migration only occurred prior to 1947 get to stand without citation? You can see here that user AdamGerber80 said: The Sindhi diaspora comes from the Sindh British province not from Sindh, Pakistan because the Sindhis which migrated out of Sindh never lived in Sindh, Pakistan.
No citation was provided for this claim, despite it flying in the face of common sense. Sindhis make up 15% of Pakistan’s population, yet we are to believe they make up zero percentage of emigrants? It was this statement that was being used to justify excluding mention of Sindh as a Pakistani province altogether, not just that some Sindhis moved prior to independence. At least that’s what I understood given the stance against any mention of Sindh also as a Pakistani province. If it really isn’t obvious that Sindhis migrated even after 1947, it’s even less obvious that they only migrated before 1947. I already had given a source stating many Hindus stayed in Karachi until 1948, and another news link about Sindhi Hindus that has recently migrated to India. Perhaps I’ll add those as references since this for some reason appears controversial to some editors.
My message to the administrator who blocked PAKHIGHWAYS is completely appropriate too - I found the punishment was harsher than what several users had suggested. How can I be faulted for this? Pointing out a third statement in which I agreed with him over another unrelated point to me appears obtuse to this whole discussion. That appears to me to be “scraping the bottom of the barrel” to come up with anything to discredit me.
And my comment about “Indian editors” is totally taken out of context. In the original post which I mentioned above, youll see my response was about competing nationalisms and rigidity and inflexibility,, not that Indian editors are somehow bad. Let’s not forget the title of that thread was “Pakistani nationalist editor,” so I’m not the one that introduced nationality into that discussion. I don’t think anyone reading what I wrote really would take offense - because it’s not tinged with anti-India bias as is being claimed. Especially since I was referencing a single unnamed editor in particular, in addition to troublesome rigid nationalist viewpoints that I’ve seen on here many times.
As for this insistence for the name of the user who I was alluding to is being used to dismiss me. I didn’t mention the name for that own users privacy. At least two people on the discussion thread that I posted on here were even involved in the issue. So me not mentioning this person by name isn’t a negative against me, because frankly, that was a relatively minor point anyway in what I was saying about rigidity and nationalism.
Anyway, I like the suggestion of toning it down. I was happy to discuss, as evidenced by my attempts to engage in discussion. I’m not happy being talked to with overt aggression tinged with threats to have me banned.Regardless of the circumstances. Anmolbhat simply can not justify the overt hostility and threats. Thankfully he hadn’t tried to justify this, and I hope he has learned a lesson about proper behavior from all of this.Willard84 (talk) 18:26, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- People are generally likely to be far more impressed by discussion on the relevant article talk page than on user talk pages. Even if someone posted on your talk page, it's generally best to move the discussion to the article talk page as soon as possible. (It does look like you did start discussing on the article talk page fairly soon, but your comments above seem to primarily refer to discussion on user talk pages.) In any case, remember that being involved in a discussion is not an excuse for edit warring. Also, the best defense for any change you intend to make is generally "here are the WP:reliable sources which support the change"; not "where are your sources?" or "it's obvious" or "you're wrong". BTW, while I agree Anmolbhat was too harsh and you are entitled to disagree with community or discterionary sanctions or proposed community sanctions in a resonable way, if you do find yourself in disagreement it is worth reflecting on what such a disagreement that may mean of your understanding of the norms here and whether that cause problems for you. Nil Einne (talk) 23:36, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Again, there are no saints here. Take it to the article talk page, everyone stop reverting until a consensus is reached. It doesn't matter if it is the "wrong version" while you discuss. This isn't a competition. I don't see any need to argue over trivialities here, neither of you is perfectly innocent. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

User:Bijanii started pushing for including an (IMHO) unrelated category across many pages, as well as renaming and redirecting pages from certain events ("Arabian Gulf Cup" to "Gulf Cup of Nations", a non-existent name for the event which is officially named "Arabian Gulf Cup"). Has been systematically reverting other users who engage in BRD, and refuses to stop editing en engage in a discussion for conflict resolution.
Also, consistently attacks other editors and widely accuses them of being sockpuppets. User continuously uses "rv blocked sockpuppet" to revert other user's changes. Other pages where the user is edit warring: - Arabian Gulf Oil Company - Arabian Gulf University - Arabian Gulf rugby union team - Arabian Gulf rugby sevens team - Arabian Gulf Rugby Football Union
Please advise. I could revert his/her edits to trigger a 3RR on him, but I don't want to follow that path. Thank you. UCaetano (talk) 05:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and blocked Bijanii, due to the severe edit warring as well as personal attacks (unsubstantiated accusations of sockpuppetry, as well as inappropriate warnings against vandalism). The situation is aggravated by the fact that Bijanii is just coming off an edit warring block, as well as the fact that they were edit/move warring with several different users across a significant number of pages. Bijanii was recently dealing with IP socking, but the notion that they thought all of these established accounts were block-evading socks and/or vandals is simply not believable. Their behavior has become seriously disruptive and I've warned them that serious changes will be needed going forward. Swarm ♠ 07:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman International Airport, (IATA: BPN, ICAO: WALL), also known as Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport, formerly Sepinggan Airport...
Yet however, an anonymous user keep reverting my edits which is based on the consensus in the talk page. I have issued a complaint but the anonymous user apparently keeps ignoring me. Therefore, I need help from other people to help me in this issue. Secondly, I uploaded the logo of the airport from the airport's official website [86] and placed it in the article. However, the anonymous user keeps reverting my edits, stating that the logo is not official, although I know that it is not true since I uploaded it directly from the airport's official website. I have already asked for editors for help in the article's talk page and other editors has classified this incident as "trolling"[87], yet this anonymous user still keeps reverting my edits.
I have been nearly blocked due to edit warring before on this article with similar anonymous users.

Paid editing, and edit warring, at Mayville High School, Southsea
Article protected, registered account blocked as a username policy violation. No further action needed. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:19, 30 January 2018 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Over the last week, a series of IPs and one registered account have been attempting to force material onto the Mayville High School, Southsea article. The material is at times a direct copyright violation, at others non-neutral and/or wholly unencyclopedic. The IPs (User:86.132.158.136, User:82.18.101.57) both geolocate to the community where the school is located (Portsmouth, Hampshire). The registered account, User:Teamlocalsmedia, is apparently editing on behalf of Team Locals Media, a design studio located in Portsmouth who has this school as a client (see bottom of school's website for proof). Their intent appears to be to edit on behalf of the school (see diff) on the school's article here. I have dropped various warnings to all three accounts to no avail. Today, they are still trying to force material onto the article [88]. I don't think blocking the IPs would help, as at least one of them and possibly both are in dynamic pools. A block of the User:Teamlocalsmedia is in order as an account being used to represent a company. I think a protection of the article is in order, but would like other eyes to have a look at this. All three accounts have been informed of this discussion. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 21:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Chilling (though ridiculous) ArbCom threat by admin
It's clear the community consensus here is that Gatoclass should back down, and was not justified to invoke ArbCom in addressing his conflict with TRM. Not seeing any value in leaving this open any longer. Nothing more productive will come of this. Also, Guy's proposal for dealing with DYK conflicts is also a non-starter.

At WT:DYK#Back to one set per day, there is some dispute about whether the error rate has increased since the refresh rate has been raised from one set every 24 hours to one set every 12 hours recently. Basically, User:The Rambling Man (TRM) claims that the error rate has increased significantly, and User:Gatoclass claims that the error rate has remained roughly the same. Problem is that TRM counts the errors which reach the preparatory area (preps) and the queues, while Gatoclass only counts the errors that actually reach the main page. Most of the errors caught at the preps and queues are found by TRM.
As Gatoclass seemed to be missing the argument set forward by TRM rather spectacularly, TRM said " I think I'll take some time out and just start reporting the errors once they get to the main page, that should underline the point you're missing, and I won't have to race against you promoting hooks and protecting them without time to fix them all. "
Gatoclass's reply: "In short, disruption to make a WP:POINT - your specialty at DYK, though I never thought to see you openly declaring yourself. Well, go ahead and do that. I will see you at WP:ARBCOM. Gatoclass (talk) 14:30, 27 January 2018 (UTC) "
So, out of nowhere TRM gets accused of disruption (not doing a voluntary task, checking preps and queues, is something most editors and admins do, so I guess we are all disrupting enwiki to make a point as well?), and instead of trying any preliminary steps in dispute resolution, the immediate threat is "go to Arbcom".
Some more back and forth ensues, after which Gatoclass makes it rather obvious why he wants to drag TRM to ArbCom immediately: "Off you go then. I'm sure your good friends at ARBCOM can be relied upon to see things your way.". As most of you will know, TRM has been treated harshly by Arbcom (perhaps well-deserved, but harsh nevertheless) and isn't really a fan of them as a group. But threatening to bring someone to ArbCom because a) they stop doing some voluntary task (and with good reason) and worse b) because Gatoclass thinks that TRM at ArbCom is a sure win for them (which I highly doubt, considering the utter weakness of their initial argumen) is really a terrible way to conduct a discussion.
I raised the issue at User talk:Gatoclass#Conduct unbecoming of an admin, but the answer shows no signs of improvement.
Can some editors here perhaps inform Gatoclass that every editor has the right to raise errors and issues at whatever stage they prefer, that taking them straight to ArbCom for this is a clear array into WP:BOOMERANG territory, and that threatening someone with ArbCom because that editor and ArbCom don't go along very well ("your good friends at Arbcom") is trying to get an unfair advantage in a dispute by bringing up unrelated matters and playing power games. Letting these kind of threats from admins go along unchecked seems not advisable to me. Fram (talk) 15:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Let me get this straight and do a TL;DR for you Fram. The threat is to report TRM to ARBCOM for refusing to do a voluntary task? Mr rnddude (talk) 15:47, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Indeed. Fram (talk) 15:49, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) That's how I read it. It's also bullshit. If TRM is too busy to do DYK for a few days (as we all do get from time to time) is Gatoclass really threatening to take him to ArbCom? That is totally bullshit, and Gatoclass should absolutely not be threatening such things. TRM is free to take time off of Wikipedia whenever he wants, and cannot be threatened for not doing work he's doing voluntarily anyways. Totally unacceptable. --Jayron32 15:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Livid, I am absolutely livid. Yes, TRM is making a point, not a WP:POINT, just a point. A perfectly valid point because Gatoclass refuses to address reality. To threaten an editor for refusing to devote themselves to voluntary work is utterly unacceptable. I can only hope that this is a single – egregious, but, single – lapse in judgement. If it is not, ARBCOM awaits. Mr rnddude (talk) 16:04, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Gatoclass: An admin is supposed to know what disruptive editing looks like. Not undertaking a volunteer task is not disruptive editing. Your Arbcom threat is bizarre and seriously calls into question your judgement. --NeilNtalk to me 15:51, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Gatoclass knows what disruptive editing is like, he was suggesting that TRM would be intentionally waiting to report errors in order to get them pulled from the main page, not just being disruptive for not having the time to deal with them. He isn't saying he would be reporting him for DE for not doing a voluntary task, he is saying he would be reporting him for doing a voluntary task at the point where it is most disruptive (to the DYK, rather than the quality of the encyclopedia) Its a deliberate assumption of bad faith on gatoclass' part. Personally I have no problem with that tactic anyway. ERRORS is a much better resolver of issues than DYK - but in order for errors to be involved, it has to progress to the main page. Only in death does duty end (talk) 16:05, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- I have to agree that this is conduct very unbecoming an admin. Gatoclass might also be reminded that the last time an admin and TRM got in a squabble about conduct unbecoming an admin and it went to ARBCOM, that admin got desysopped. Softlavender (talk) 15:52, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Given the dysfunctional nature of DYK and its emphasis on points scoring rather than quality content, waiting til DYK's hit the main page before reporting at errors would be a perfectly valid response (which I will explicitly say, is definitely NOT what TRM was suggesting he would do) as ERRORS both recognizes and acts faster on problems without the conflict of interest that comes from having to deal with DYK regular's pet DYKs. In short: If DYK doesn't want to be embarrassed on the main page, it should sort itself out, not blame other people who don't have the time to deal with it. Only in death does duty end (talk) 16:02, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- The ARBCOM restrictions placed on TRM are very broad to begin with. It's hard for me to see how TRM's dialogue here rises to violating these restrictions. Moreover, though, not engaging in a voluntary task being WP:POINT means that pretty much every Wikipedia editor and admin should go to ARBCOM for WP:POINT.--WaltCip (talk) 16:03, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Um, no, this is not about reporting somebody for "refusing to do a voluntary task". If TRM was simply walking away from DYK, there wouldn't be an issue. The issue here is that TRM has threatened to alter his routine to error checking DYK at the 11th hour specifically in order to, I quote: underline the point you're missing. He is, basically, threatening to destabilize the main page of Wikipedia, viewed by millions, in order to force DYK back to a 24-hour cycle when he was unable to achieve consensus for that on the DYK discussion page. If that is not a clear, indeed egregious, example of threatening to disrupt Wikipedia to make a point, I don't know what is. Gatoclass (talk) 16:11, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Gatoclass: Walking away from a specific volunteer task because you don't agree with how a process is structured is not disruptive editing. I'm flabbergasted you would think it is an egregious example. TRM is free to point out errors at any time he wishes to. --NeilN talk to me 16:20, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- (ec) Then you don't know what a "clear" or "egregious" threat is. My time can be spent how I like. E.g. today, I haven't been able to be online until now, as you know I will normally review OTD then the new DYK hooks, out of the kindness of my heart. Today, I couldn't. And your completely disheartening and baseless threats have forced me to re-evaluate my priorities. Are you suggesting now that if I send a couple of ERROR reports about the latest queue, you'll take me to Arbcom? Your threatening behaviour is not welcome or appropriate in my opinion, you should consider your position. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:25, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- In summary Gatoclass: you don't know what is. The only difference between them leaving DYK altogether and them leaving DYK until it hits the main page is that you get no help, versus you getting delayed help. You should be trying to fix the issues TRM is pointing out, not threatening them. TRM is not obligated to do anything around here. It doesn't matter if they say "I'll be here at the 11th hour" or "I won't be here at all". They are equally entitled to do so, and say so. If the lack of their presence causes disruption that means the process was fucked to begin with. Fix it. Don't string up another editor for refusing to do it for you. Mr rnddude (talk) 16:28, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- The only way I can think of for this to make even the tiniest bit of sense is to argue that TRM committing himself to something, then pulling out at the 11th hour, is kind of a dick move. Otherwise it's hard to see how it can be disruptive to not edit. I'm not arguing that, in case it needs to be said. Reyk YO! 16:15, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- The discussion on DYK is quite clear: TRM states that the current high turnover of DYK items (hooks) is being nominated, promoted, protected means a significant time investment on his behalf in order to get errors fixed before they hit the main page. That the high rate of errors is reflected on the DYK talk page. That unless the rate slows down, he will be unable to commit the time in order to get errors fixed prior to the main page because he understandably has other stuff he wants to do. Given TRM does a significant amount of the error checking at DYK, if he says he cant keep up with it, I am happy to take his word at his assessment of his own ability. Previously as an admin TRM could edit through the protected hooks which would mitigate this somewhat. Now he has to rely on others. Given the rate is not being dropped, it is perfectly reasonable for him to state he has assigned it a lower priority and it will now get the least amount of attention. If the consequence of that is more DYK errors are pulled off the main page, that is not TRM's fault for not reporting them earlier because he wants to spend time doing something else, that is DYK's fault for promoting them in the first place. It is in no way disruptive editing as it effectively puts the burden of mistakes appearing on the main page, on TRM, pretty much because he has devoted a significant amount of time and effort previously in making sure they never get there. Only in death does duty end (talk) 16:25, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- No, he didn't talk about "not being able to keep up", and it would be absurd to suggest any such thing, given the amount of time he spends on mainpage projects. What he proposed doing was altering his routine to attend to DYK last, giving him the opportunity to embarrass DYK and in his own words underline the point you're missing.. Gatoclass (talk) 16:40, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- If content gets pulled from the main page for being bad quality, its the fault of the people who were responsible for promoting it. No one else. Everyone can read the associated discussion. You don't want to decrease the rate of DYK's, fine, its not TRM's job to wipe up your messes. If that results in DYK looking stupid, that's a natural consequence of not getting your house in order. It could be equally argued that deliberately promoting error-ridden content to the main page is disruptive. And that's your bag given you are responsible for a lot of it. Should you be sanctioned for repeatedly being responsible for bad quality content appearing on the main page? Because I'm willing to place money on which way the community is going to jump in that ARBCOM circus. Only in death does duty end (talk) 16:47, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, it is the fault of the people who promoted it. That, however, does not excuse adopting a strategy designed specifically to embarrass those people, by waiting until errors hit the main page before seeking to have them corrected. Because that is not a strategy that simply embarrasses those responsible for the errors, it embarrasses Wikipedia, on its most visible page. Gatoclass (talk) 16:55, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Gatoclass, are you volunteering to double-check all the DYKs for accuracy? If not, why not? Are you trying to embarass Wikipedia? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:00, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Gatoclass (talk) 16:40, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- TRM is a volunteer, Fram is a volunteer, I'm a volunteer ...... we're not paid to do this ... we take time out of our busy day(s) to come here and improve the encyclopedia but we cannot be here 24/7 365 days of the year!, To threaten someone with Arbcom all because they cannot be here 24/7 is in very polite terms silly and as noted above is unbecoming of any admin, If Gatoclass goes to Arbcom it's only going to end one way and that would probably be either desysop or stern warning. –Davey2010Talk 16:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- I often start the day by taking a look at the main page. If I notice something amiss then I report it at WP:ERRORS. Sometimes when I've done this, editors such as Dank or Iridescent have suggested that I ought to have spotted the issue in advance by reviewing the queue. TRM himself joined them, suggesting that he could be looking at these items in advance of them being posted to the main page ... it seems quite reasonable for some to ask him to look ahead by a day (or even 17, in some cases) ... all we're asking here is that if Andy believes such fundamental issues exist in articles or blurbs, he makes the point sooner rather than later. I wasn't inclined to look ahead like this and so now appreciate clarification of this issue. Andrew D. (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Times changed Andy. The error rate now is through the roof. I have better things to do with my time but will still look at DYK, albeit much lower down on my priority list, and since the rate has doubled, that may even be at the last minute or after it. Which "issue" needs clarification? The threat of being taken to Arbcom for leaving it to the last moment to note errors you mean? I agree that needs to be explained. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- I often contribute to WP:ERRORS, and frankly given the attitude of some of those who take it upon themselves to run the front page, I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting as little to do with the whole shebang as possible. Ludicrous to threaten to take someone to Arbcom for choosing to spend less of their time driving rusty nails into their eyeballs. DuncanHill (talk) 16:30, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Absolutely agree TRM is not in the wrong here considering the volunteer nature of WP, and that Gatoclass' statements in this are troubling for an admin. TRM has basically been volunteering to help those admins who post the DYK queue to the main page (including Gatoclass) by pre-error checking the queue. There is nothing requiring TRM to do that, nor any required step in DYK, but this all helps to make the DYK admin jobs easier to pre-check the queues. If TRM decides to back off, that means there's now more responsibility on those admins to check the queues carefully, since posting a bad DYK is on their admin responsibility. TRM owes nothing to Gatoclass here, and is not disrupting any process, simply requiring them to check the queues as the process already has set out for them. If its come to the fact that Gatoclass has relied too much on TRM's pre-check, that's not TRM's fault. --Masem (t) 16:44, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Also note that TRM repeated, and indeed more explicitly stated, his intention with this post, namely the comment since you've made it clear that, according to you, there's nothing wrong with the DYK process at all, there should be no risk with me only now looking at DYK once it's updated on the main page, should there?. Gatoclass (talk) 16:49, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well, he has a point. If the process relies on a single editor being available, and will fall apart if the editor gets hits by a bus, you're doing it wrong. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Perhaps, both editors should just stay away from DYK. The Wiki-community or Arbcom won't hold it against them, if they do. GoodDay (talk) 16:56, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Proposal
Proposed resolution to the long-term problem of WP:OWN and gaming at DYK:
- Anybody who contributes to more than one DYK discussion in ten days becomes a DYK-involved editor and starts a clock running.
- When the clock has been running for six months or 600 edits, the editor must take a break of not less than 3 months from DYK, enforceable by blocking.
- The clock is reset if the editor makes no edits to DYK for 3 months.

- With all due respect to Guy, this is a solution in search of a problem, particularly in this case where in would take both protagonists out of DYK. Which is not an outcome I, for one, am interested in seeing. Vanamonde (talk) 16:16, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

The admin has reiterated his threat to take me to Arbcom if I fail some invisible test of his. This matter is not resolved. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:15, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Just stay away from the area-in-question. Ya can't be taken to Arbcom, for that. GoodDay (talk) 19:26, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well, technically he could. ArbCom would laugh it out of the room faster than we did. It's clear that Gatoclass has no foot to stand on; he could still take it to ArbCom over community consensus, which were this a social media thread, would result in a whole shitload of people posting those pictures of Michael Jackson eating popcorn. Gatoclass knows ArbCom is a non-starter for this, and if he doesn't, he deserves whatever blowback he would get for trying to press this further. At this point it's a "drop the stick" issue for both sides. --Jayron32 19:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Isn't threatening to take someone to ARBCOM a violation of ADMINACCT or something like that? What does he expect TRM to do, quit his job and focus entirely on Wikipedia? Sir Joseph (talk) 19:32, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- (EC)Yeah no, it doesn't work that way. Maybe if it were two editors in equal standing, but this is an ADMINISTRATOR talking to a NORMAL EDITOR. This sort of behavior is not even remotely okay. --Tarage (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- So what should we do about it? Lepricavark (talk) 19:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Since when is the ability to take someone to Arbcom part of the admin toolkit? GMGtalk 19:37, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Exactly. Taking someone to ArbCom is not an admin action. Anyone can do it. It is therefore quite different from the admins who threaten to block editors they disagree with. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:42, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- TRM does not need to "drop the stick"; he is reporting admin abuse and it is Gato (and Gato alone) who should have dropped the stick. By reiterating his threat, despite crystal clear community consensus, he should be blocked. But he is an admin soooo...TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:40, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Community consensus already confirmed this and now further comments have only added to that unanimity. As I said, this has gone on far too long. We have the following sequence of events 1) Someone asks here if Gatoclass was wrong. 2) Everyone agrees Gatoclass was wrong. 3) I close the initial discussion confirming the consensus that Gatoclass was wrong. 4) Someone posts here demanding that we continue the discussion to confirm that Gatoclass was wrong. 5) A bunch more people pile on and agree that Gatoclass was, in fact, wrong. How much gravedancing do you people need to do?!? --Jayron32 19:49, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- The problem I'm seeing is that after the close of this discussion, Gatoclass continued to add to the discussion on their talk page that (as I read it) asserts they are still in the right to accuse TRM of disruption, contrary to the consensus here. Admins are expected to understand how consensus work particularly after an ANI directly about their behavior. --Masem (t) 19:54, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- They can assert whatever they want. They aren't going to do anything about it because, in light of this discussion, actually doing anything about it would be galactically stupid. Just as TRM has every right to edit whenever he wants, Gatoclass has the right to hold whatever opinion they want. We can't force Gatoclass to believe something they don't believe. We don't actually need them to admit fault. Community already found them at fault. Their opinion of their own actions is irrelevent, and so long as they actually don't do anything beyond state their opinion, there's nothing further to do. I'm of the full opinion that if Gatoclass were to actually press on, rather then simply state their opinion, it would come back faster than an curved Australian stick. Let them blather. It means nothing. --Jayron32 20:00, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- While nothing has been posted in a while (I think Gatoclass is offline at this point), and hoping the stick has been dropped, I do think that, even if they aren't pursuing something like AN/AE action, that continuing to express one's opinion that an editor is being disruptive in contrast to a clear consensus of admins that state otherwise starts entering into the area of personal attacks and assuming bad faith, which an admin should not be doing. I fully agree there's nothing more to see here if the stick has been dropped, though. --Masem (t) 20:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Gatoclass is threatening to go to ArbCom to complain about TRM threatening to stop working on something. Frankly, this is one of those problems that will sort themselves out. My advice is to sit back and enjoy the show. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 19:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yep. It's waaay down on the list, but ArbCom is technically part of the dispute resolution process. If someone threatens to take someone to places like ANI, AN, AE, or ArbCom, and they should know better, and they're told it's silly, and they won't listen, then the correct response is to allow them to take action as they see fit...and probably to re-close threads like this... again.

No, it's completely unacceptable for an admin to make this kind of threat. And then to back it up with claims to be duty bound to direct my decision to de-prioritise the shambolic DYK to the bottom of my daily routine (principally as a result of his threats) to Arbcom should I even dare to notify the community of an error too late for him to "like". This closure lets Gatoclass off the hook 100%, it doesn't address his non-admin-like behaviour, it even allows him to continue to threaten me. Wow. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:04, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- And, by now, I'd expect someone to have noted that we're very much in WP:INVOLVED territory. GatoClass clearly is monitoring my actions by his decision to tell me he's going to take me to Arbcom if I start addressing the numerous errors at DYK at ERRORS instead of his preferred location, so right now we have someone who is, by definition, not really objective enough to make such decisions. To continue to assert they can is probably an indication that they ought not be allowed to continue to administrate the site. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- If you want him to be desysopped, this ain't the venue for that. I'm all for community enacted de-adminship, but we don't have that option yet. Lepricavark (talk) 20:10, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Jayron32 "... it's a "drop the stick" issue for both sides ..." are you kidding? An admin has threatened me with Arbcom for deciding that I won't dance to his tune, while I have done ...... nothing? How is it a "drop the stick" issue for us both?

- TRM, if you feel your grievance has not been addressed, then you are obviously looking for some sort of formal censure. That is beyond the scope of this noticeboard and should be taken up at AN or with ArbCom. An uninvolved administrator has advised you that would not be productive, but of course you are free to do what you will at the proper place. This is not it.

I have contacted this editor several times since November 2017, but no response although they have continued editing.

I have directed them to WP:Communication is required, WP:V and WP:BURDEN, but no response. These unreferenced articles include: 1999–2000 FK Partizan season, List of most expensive Serbian football transfers, Bogdan Riznić (an unreferenced biography of a living person), 1991–92 KK Partizan season, 1989–90 FK Partizan season, 1955–56 FK Partizan season, 2007–08 KK Partizan season, 2008–09 KK Partizan season and 2010–11 KK Partizan season.

I have contacted this editor on several occasions, but they have ignored all messages, despite being directed towards WP:Communication is required, WP:V and WP:BURDEN. They are persistently creating unreferenced articles.
Those created just in the last month, and still needing references, are: 1969 in Norwegian television, 1968 in Norwegian television, 1968 in Swedish television, 1969 in Swedish television, 1967 in Norwegian television, 1967 in Swedish television, 1967 in Portuguese television, 1966 in Swedish television, 1966 in Portuguese television, 1966 in Norwegian television, 1965 in Portuguese television, 1965 in Norwegian television, 1965 in Spanish television, 1964 in Norwegian television, 1963 in Swedish television, 1963 in Norwegian television, 1962 in Norwegian television, 1962 in Swedish television, 1961 in Norwegian television, 1961 in Swedish television, 1960 in Swedish television, 1959 in Swedish television, 2018 in South African television, 2017 in South African television.
I don't usually run out of steam and usually make a list as far back as it goes, but this is a long list. This user has been editing Wikipedia for 11 years and seems to have never responded to any concerns raised on their talk page. Boleyn (talk) 17:49, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Inappropriate and offensive language made by User:Davey2010 following the unfounded nomination for article's deletion here - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JGSP Novi Sad and also on user's talk page here - [93]. For sake of our community, we should put aside our emotions (per Wikipedia:Civility#Dealing_with_incivility) once we have realized that we have made a mistake and eventually apologize to other users involved in a discussion.--AirWolf talk 14:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Next time you nominate some articles for deletion as you did in the case of JGSP Novi Sad, try adding Template:Unreferenced or similar template first.--AirWolf talk 11:20, 31 January 2018 (UTC)" - Maybe if you wasn't being so condescending then maybe you wouldn't of been told to "Fuck off and read AGF" - Entirely my fault for the wrong search entirely my fault but I certainly don't appreciate you then coming to my page and then start being all condescending! - Your !vote on the AFD was more than enough - A condescending post wasn't needed. –Davey2010Talk 14:36, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- FWIW I will say my AFD reply wasn't at all needed and I apologise for that - That was the correct venue to bring up the whole BEFORE thing so I've redacted most of that reply. –Davey2010Talk 14:38, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think these two sentences were condescending at all. I had to point to you that you've nominated the article for a deletion too soon, and that you should have probably made "Unreferenced" tag. I just don't understand how you haven't asked yourself how is it possible that there was not a singe news coverage for the sole public transport company of a large European city. You should have checked it twice before making unfounded nomination. Also, language used in the end was totally inappropriate. I accept the apology and keep up the good work. Just be more careful in the future.--AirWolftalk 14:54, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Not all major operators gain coverage, There's plenty of major operators that get next to none coverage, I searched once - Nothing came back so I did what anyone would've done and that's to nominate it, Maybe try and not be condescending in future and things will go a lot smoothly between yourself and editors. –Davey2010Talk 15:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

- My understanding is that it is within the right and prerogative for editors to ask others to "fuck off" from their user talk page, and that it does not rise to the level of incivility. This was a minor frustration. Just let it deescalate naturally.--WaltCip (talk) 14:37, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- WaltCip, this did not happen on Davey2010's talk page, but publicly at AfD. Civility is a pillar of Wikipedia and this is a clear violation. Experienced editors know they shouldn't act this way, but we have bad days. I appreciate Davey redacting his comment, and I think this will deescalate naturally, but I also appreciate AirWolf for calling it out. We need more civility, and tolerating profane attacks is not the way to get it.Jacona (talk) 15:05, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well shit, offensive or bitchy language is hardly a fucking excuse for trying to get some cunt blocked, or for stirring up a shit storm at ANI. (Sorry Davey, I'm not calling you a cunt, I was just looking for an excuse to use another curse word in order to make my point).
- In other words: cursing is not uncivil. I curse far more when I'm in a good mood than when I'm in a bad mood. Telling someone to "Fuck off" from their user page can certainly come across as uncivil, but isn't necessarily so. Imagine the party handing you a beer and saying it with a grin; then it's just casual and relaxed, possibly even friendly. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 15:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- I think civility is important but it's not enough that a comment is annoying or irritating - I know tone is hard to judge on the internet, but consider that you might say "fuck off" to a friend, depending on the circumstances, if they woke you up or something. Most people would not casually make a derogatory racist remark to someone, or abusively berate them with aggressive ad hominem insults - even for people who are kind of grumpy this is outside the bounds of socially acceptable behavior. This is my understanding of how civility is enforced on Wikipedia. Seraphim System(talk) 15:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- I agree, and my group of friends is one in which we regularly insult each other in the worst (read: funniest) possible manner we can think of. But all of us are aware that our shared history and shared knowledge that it's all in good fun is what makes those insults acceptable. And sometimes even among us, we don't do it. If my buddy Jeebs is feeling down, I'm not going to insult him, even if it would be hilarious. At least not until I'm completely sure he would laugh at it. To strangers, one should avoid saying anything directly insulting, and one should always read dismissive or rude comments in the best possible light. No-one can do it 100% of the time, so we also need to allow a little slack for threads like this. And Davey's response thus far has been exceedingly gracious. Oh, and also, shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits. I say them because I can, and the more people get use to it, the happier we all will be. :D ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 15:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Looking at the edits (and naming similarity of the named accounts) suggests these are likely socks:
The primary edits have been promotionally worded, and at-best are redundant to Super Bowl LII. Also, a large number of the edits seem to rely on onstream24.com as refspam.
The created pages that are clearly promotional can be tagged with {{G11}}. But at least one of the created pages are in draft space, and as yet is not overtly promotional (see Draft:Philadelphia Eagles vs New England Patriots).

Could an admin take a look at the contribs of this WP:SPA account, especially these diffs here which clearly show that this account is engaged in meat puppetry. —MBL Talk 08:06, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes it's a disruptive meat puppet. See [95] filed a report just after JosephusOfJerusalem (another SPA) had his report rejected.[96] On report he writes, "Sanction or remedy to be enforced: Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log#India-Pakistan_2:
A civility restriction. Any suggestion that any editor is not editing in good faith will lead to an immediate block.
"[97] Same green font and sentence that JosephusOfJerusalem had applied, "Sanction or remedy to be enforced: Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log#India-Pakistan_2:A civility restriction. Any suggestion that any editor is not editing in good faith will lead to an immediate block.
"[98] - Few things are clear here, they both are obsessively trying hard to get me blocked/banned, and using same templates/style/words and they are edit warring in tandem. Such deception needs to be dealt with indef block, because these accounts are WP:NOTHERE, all they care about is their disruptive ethnic agenda. Anmolbhat (talk) 08:34, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- @MBlaze Lightning and Anmolbhat:--Hmm..Some similarity at the AE report
but I ain't seeing much meat-puppetryin light of Ammarpad's evidence, the overlap looks to be strong except the hazy overlaps which is not uncommon, given the highly polarised editing atmosphere at your main-space overlaps with Dilpa.You can file a detailed SPI report, including relevant diffs etc.And, Anmol, it's best to comment on content and not on contributors, at article talk-pages.Winged BladesGodric 08:42, 13 January 2018 (UTC)- @WBG: I don't think it is ripe for SPI but I believe the above report is beyond talkpage comments.

- @MBlaze Lightning and Anmolbhat:--Hmm..Some similarity at the AE report
Saving a template from the preceding report, working on it when the reported person displays more bad behaviour, as is the case here with Anmolbhat, is not meatpuppetry. Your other diffs [99] are a misrepresentation, sometimes i struggle with making my pre-planned edits on my mobile because it gets frozen and goes haywire and copying from my phone notes and pasting and saving becomes a hassle. This[100] was a temporary notice on my part on the page to underline the issues with the text I was trying to remove, until I could fix the text properly when my phone improved, which I did within 5 minutes[101]. This seems like a detraction from the current AE case against MBlaze Lightning's friend Anmolbhat who has just broken the civility restriction. My guess is that when I by mistake pasted my report on Anmolbhat by mistake in the wrong place and came back to insert it in the right place later, during that time MBlaze Lightning started planning a diversion from the AE case against Anmolbhat. What should be looked into is the long-term tag-teaming between MBlaze Lightning, Anmolbhat, Capitals00, Kautilya and some others. Dilpa kaur (talk) 09:42, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- You can make up whatever you want to but we have already understood that you and other disruptive SPAs are meat puppets, with nothing to do here except edit warring in tandem and pushing your disruptive ethnic agenda. According to you, we should investigate long term editors like Mblaze, Kautilya3, Capitals00 so that your meat puppetry can be justified. You make no sense. Anmolbhat (talk) 10:10, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Just a comment from somebody who has closely watched this go down for the last few weeks but has mostly been a bystander. I have not directly interacted with Dilpa kaur (talk · contribs) or JosephusOfJerusalem (talk · contribs) but have noticed their edits and their editing behavior so far has not been typical of a Wikipedia editor and raised some doubts in my mind. There was a RfC at Talk:Kashmir conflict recently and there seemed to be a Wikipedia:Vote stacking on that page. Now this might seem typical of India-Pakistan pages given the different views. But quite a bit of editors participated in that RfC with little or no edits on the actual page. What was even more concerning was the fact that many of these editors had been dormant for quite some time before the RfC, commented on the RfC and went back to their dormant selves. This behavior clubbed with the behavior on recent articles like Kashmiris, Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus, 1947 Poonch Rebellion, Violence against women during the partition of India is concerning. In these cases editors have been recently created (past 1-2 months) accounts who have very little editing history on Wikipedia and most of it resolves around a limited set (4-5) of India-Pakistan pages and seems to be pushing a certain POV. An editor was recently blocked for a week for violating the 1RR block for their edits which they falsely claimed were copy-right violations. In my opinion, the administrators need to have a closer look at this since there seems to be something more than what meets the eye. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 10:28, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Adamgerber80's uninvolved observer comments are exactly accurate. I couldn't have said it better myself. There is serious tag teaming/meatpuppetry going on. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:28, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

I am happy and satisfied reading Dilpa kaur (talk · contribs)'s explanation of the diffs. I don't see any evidence of meat puppetry. I have in the past been falsely accused of socking by MBL and I would encourage people to take into consideration just how many of these accusations he throws around. --Xinjao (talk) 06:52, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

- (Non-administrator comment) I'm finding it quite difficult to reconcile Dilpa kaur and JosephusOfJerusalem's ostensible identities with their actual editing activity. Dilpa professes (by their username and on their user page) to be "Khalistani" (and hence by implication associated with Indian Punjab), and Josephus claims to be a "Jewish historian, academic and foodie". Yet their editing patterns, by the way very similar to those of KA$HMIR, show an almost exclusive focus on several very niche Kashmiri topics that are contested between India and Pakistan, and they've both shown a detailed knowledge of the specific literature, a very strong pro-Pakistan slant and a keen interest in the related meta-discussions (ANI and AE threads etc.). – Uanfala (talk) 00:40, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- JosephusOfJerusalem has contributed to several other articles, related to ancient and Jewish history, so your argument falls flat while I am a long time (dynamic) IP editor. My IPs' which I edited from while mistakenly logged out, after I had registered this account, are visible for all to see[102][103] geolocation [104][105] shows clearly I come from the Indian Punjab. How is it possible that an Indian like me can collaborate to produce a pro-Pakistan slant? But yes it is true that there is a strong pro-Indian and anti-Pakistan bias across the articles in the Indo-Pakistan topic area, which several neutral senior editors such as Fowler&fowler have pointed out.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bride_burning#Request_for_Comment) As a responsible citizen I am committed to removing this imbalance and would not be surprised if neutral editors from non-subcontinental backgrounds, such as Fowler and Josephus, have also observed this imbalance and taken it upon themselves to fix it.
- I am more interested in how you turned up on a RfC to support Kautilya3's vote,(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kashmir_conflict#Comments) even though you yourself admitted you were not well acquainted with the topic? You even argued that those opposed to the sections up for deletion had not made a case for removing them, even though Winged Blades of Godric said good points were made. What's going on between you and Kautilya3 in the emails? Dilpa kaur (talk) 10:18, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

- After I reverted JosephusOfJerusalem (talk · contribs) on the Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus article, Dilpa kaur showed up in a few hours to revert back to the Josephus's version[108] using the exact same phrase, "
last stable version per WP:NOCON

Filer's tag-teaming and harassment
The filer has been part of several spurious and failed attempts at getting blocked the users he disagrees with. Just last month on here MBlaze Lightning created a report against Dilpa kaur so ridiculous (he could not differentiate between the different IPs of @Dilpa kaur: and @Danish.mehraj26:) that he had to revert himself [113]. He also paarticipated against me and @Danish.mehraj26:/@JosephusOfJerusalem: in a frivolous SPI which ended up confirming our innocence. The question is why is the filer so desperately making multiple attempts to get others blocked (his own block log is hardly one to envy)?
And what was happening in the middle of all of this? Two IPs,[114][115] located in two different [116][117] Indian cities, turn up to frame me and @Owais Khursheed: for meatpuppetry. Both IPs were had knowledge of a user known as @Kautilya3:, which indicates they were old users IP socking to frame me and Owais. The different locations of the IPs suggest collaboration between multiple old users is happening on IP levels, and even worse is happening through the accounts where they are using hook and crook methods to get opposing editors blocked.
Senior editor @Mar4d: is had also complained of this trend of a group of editors close to @Kautilya3: wreaking POV havoc across articles in the India-Pakistan topic area.
MBlaze Lightning, Capitals00, Adamgerber80, D4iNa4 and Kautilya3 have an extensive record of tag teaming and supporting each other on articles, often where they have had minimal or negligible contribution to article content or discussion on the talkpages.
For example the senior editor @NadirAli: observed on Talk:Violence against women during the partition of India that Kautilya3 suddenly arrived on a talkpage discussion for an article he had no contribution to. Even more interestingly, MBlaze Lightning turned up on the same page to do a revert[118] to ensure the page looked the way Kautilya3 wanted [119]. This despite MBlaze Lightning not contributing much to the article either.
Another example is Talk:Annexation_of_Junagadh#MBlaze_Lightning_cuts where Kautilya3 turns up, after a long absence from contributing to the article, to support MBlaze Lightning's POV.
And even more. During extensive discussions on Talk:Kashmir_conflict#KA$HMIR_revert_justifications between me, @NadirAli:, @Kautilya3: and @Mar4d:, MBlaze Lightning is absent. He then suddenly turns up only to agree with Kautilya3 and Capitals00 here Talk:Kashmir_conflict#NadirAli_edits, though again this contribution is no more than a line. Despite having no contribution worth the name to the discussion he then reverts to Kautilya3's preferred version.
And then comes in Adamgerber80, who had no contribution to the discussion, to restore MBlaze Lightning and Kautilya3's preferred version during the edit war [120]. Note his edit summary ad then check how much he has contributed to the discussions on talk.
Just recently, MBlaze Lightning again proved to be part of a tag team. Until now he has had no major contribution to the discussion on Talk:Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus except for one vague statement (and no response thereafter when he was questioned) in support of Anmolbhat and Kautilya3's POV [121]. He then did a disruptive revert on the article [122]. Fortunately the edit war has been ended graciously by the admins who have locked the page now so MBlaze Lightning and Anmolbhat can no longer break WP:NOCON and do disruptive reverts.
Then there is Capitals00. In an extensive discussion on sourcing between Kautilya3 and JosephusOfJerusalem Capitals00 turns up to make vitriolic comments,[123] with no other contribution to the discussion, and does a revert [124] to Kautilya3's preferred version while there is still discussion going on on the talkpage.
I do not believe for an instant that we can ignore all this collaboration as a coincidence. KA$HMIR (talk) 14:13, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- But they are years old accounts with thousands of edits. That's why the actual issue here is with the disruptive tagteaming/meat-puppetry involving you and other very new accounts with no edits outside this subject (WP:SPA). Also you have selectively canvassed only those editors in your message that push same POV as yours. Anmolbhat (talk) 14:23, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- I am adding to my comment since I have been accused of "tag-teaming" by KA$HMIR. I do have all these pages on my Watchlist for quite sometime including the ones I have mentioned. Even though I have no edits on them, I still keep track of all the discussions on their talk pages and additions by other users. I only interject when I feel the need to. This was the very reason that I had reverted some edits of your earlier username on a different page. My edit comments on that revert was out of the fact that the page was turning into state of constant reverts and it was me who requested the full protection of the page to ensure a proper discussion took place. I reverted those edits to a point in the page which was before the edits by NadirAli since they were the topic of discussion on the Talk page to maintain STATUSQUO. Lastly, I do not believe in Vote-stacking and unnecessary "show of support comments" as was on display during that RfC. Other editors had raised valid points and continue to raise valid points in the on-going discussion and I have not felt the need to interject so far. And as a matter of fact I have add disagreements with Kautilya3 and MBlaze Lightning on different topics in the past so your accusation of "tag-teaming" seems pre-mature and ill-thought. Adamgerber80 (talk) 16:50, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well, let us see KA$HMIR. Here are your edits intertwined with Dilpa kaur's (who is supposedly a Punjabi and Khalistani), and your edits intertwined with Danish.mehraj26, and your edits intertwined with Josephus (who is a Jewish historian no doubt).
- On the the other hand, here are the filer's edits intertwined with mine, those intertwined with Capitals00 and those intertwined with Adamgerber80.
- Do you see the difference? I doubt you would. So let me spell it out for you. We all watch whatever pages interest us, and we jump in when we see the need. In contrast, your troops show up wherever you go. No matter what their professed interests are. That is what we are talking about. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:07, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
Intertwined contributions only display the ″last 1000 cumulated contributions of the two users″. It does not show intersections. To check intersections you need to use this tool [125]. The tool shows that Dilpa kaur and I have only edited in 4 same places,[126] of which only 2 are talkpages and the remaining two are ANI and AE boards, likely not even on the same threads. JosephusOfJerusalem intersects with Dilpa on 6 pages,[127] of which 1 is the article you mysteriously turned up to 'uninvited' and only 2 are talkpages. His intersections with me are also only in 6 places.[128] JosephusOfJerusalem has contributed to several places [129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137][138] where I and Dilpa have not and similarly Dilpa[139] and I[140][141][142][143][144] have contributed where each other has not.
The same is not true for your friends. The tool shows you and MBlaze Lightning intersecting on 404 pages,[145] many of them talkpages. You intersect with Capitals00 on 404 pages too.[146] All three of you intersect in 103 places,[147] many of them talkpages, whereas I, Dilpa and Josephus intersect only on 2 places[148], 1 of them an AE board. Whatever you say now does not wipe the proof I have provided of obvious tag teaming between your meat puppets. I would even request admins to check your emails. Do you really think you can get away with all the tag-teaming without the rest of us knowing that all this is not a coincidence? KA$HMIR (talk) 19:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- That is bogus logic. A sample has to be fair for it to have any validity. The size of the intersection doesn't mean a thing. The longer people are here, the more pages they watch, and the more they watch, the more they will intersect with the others. The intertwine results show a fair simple, and they are showing for you and your friends, people moving into pages they never visited before and siding with one another.

Its very curious isn't it how you all end up reverting to each other's versions, even if your meatpuppets such as MBlaze Lightning and Capitals00 have had scant input on the discussion talkpages/article content. The tool for catching the socks and meats is intersection tool. The intertwined contributions show nothing except the last 1000 cumulated edits. The intertwined tool, unlike the intersection tool, is not useful for showing overlaps and tag-teamers supporting each other. KA$HMIR (talk) 06:27, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- MBL is not helping himself by persistently throwing accusations of sock puppetry, meat puppetry or single purpose accounts. He has been doing this for months, perhaps years; only recently accusing me of sockpuppeterring. He is offending numerous people with such accusations. If he continues, he should be topic banned from filing any ANIs and SPIs or at the least strictly warned. This is becoming too much.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 22:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) It's probably worth noting that User:NadirAli has edited ANI 48 times in the last eleven years: 46 of those were to a single thread about him last July, one more was this, and then there was the above. Posting comments like the above about an editor one doesn't like to threads in which one is not involved is generally seen as a form of hounding. Even if one was ping-canvassed. The good faith way of responding to canvassing like KA$HMIR's above would be to tell them to buzz off.

- Hijiri, it's almost as if you've missed the fact that MBL filed an SPI against me despite having almost no prior interaction with me. He has been doing that numerous times.

Forgive me but your comment is indeed humerus, even if not intended to be so.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 22:12, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- Why is having prior interactions with someone a prerequisite to opening an SPI? I would think most SPIs are opened to report accounts one has not interacted with before. Anyway, I didn't miss anything -- you showed up on an ANI involving a user you had conflicted with some months ago (at which time said user had managed to convince a quite conservative CU-enabled user to perform a check on you), and, as a former (repeat) victim of hounding that looked very similar to this, I decided to call it what it was. It seems like MBL opened only one SPI on you, so it's really unclear what you mean by

WP:SYNTH and POV-pushing
Debate remitted to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of authoritarian regimes supported by the Soviet Union or Russia. Guy (Help!) 10:52, 1 February 2018 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Dear colleagues, there is a conflict going on in the article List of authoritarian regimes supported by the Soviet Union or Russia; as I'm new here, I would like administrators and experienced editors to help us solve the issue.
In a section related to authoritarian regimes supported by the Soviet Union a user has been trying to restore a part of the text that was discussed at length and reasonably removed by others about a year ago and ignores their arguments, so that I had to register in order to fix things and restore neutrality. He has been adding the Nazi Germany to the list of Soviet-supported political regimes, so as to make it look like the Soviet Union supported the Nazi regime in Germany in the same manner as it actually supported its allies listed in the article, Communist/Socialist governments, etc., regardless of the fact that the sources and modern scholarship in general don't claim anything even remotely close to that and that the text clearly falls under the definition of WP:SYNTH, i.e. "material from multiple sources combined to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources", as I and others have noted on the talk page. While modern historians agree that the Soviet Union, which in 1934-9 had been trying to form an anti-German bloc in Europe, later had to sign an agreement with the Germans and cooperate with them in certain things in an attempt to buy time or avoid antagonizing them (so did other countries at the time), they don't go as far as to claim that the "Soviet government supported the Nazi regime in Germany" or anything like that (nor do they define Great Britain and France as "supporters of the Nazi regime" for their role in the Münich Agreement or their trade relations with the Nazi Germany). What modern scholars agree on is that in 1939-41 both Germany and the Soviet Union were involved in a complicated diplomatic game, that they were making preparations for war against each other and used diplomacy one against the other while formally remaining good neighbors, the tension between them was rising, and that the USSR was merely trying to buy time and appease the Nazis while bolstering its defenses (just like that is defined in Encyclopedia of the Cold War (2008) edited by Ruud van Dijk and prepared by a large group of international scholars, p. 597, and in the works of most other historians). There is no mention of the Soviet Union supporting the Nazi regime. Frankly, such recognized world authorities on Soviet diplomatic and military history of WWII as Prof. Geoffrey Roberts, Jonathan Haslam, John Erickson and others would laugh if they heared that the "Soviet government literally supported the Nazi regime". That is not even remotely close to what they and most other historians say in their works and, as has been said, falls under the definition of WP:SYNTH. Cooperation in any field, let alone temporary cooperation caused by obstacles, between A and B doesn't turn A into a supporter of the political regime of B.
I need your advice as to what do in a situation like this, as the opposing user doesn't seem to bother reading messages he doesn't agree with (I also hope I've found a right place to ask for help, as I'm not familiar with the noticeboard). Alter Z (talk) 05:50, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- One thing that could be done is that this tendentious original research could be hauled to articles for deletion for opinion of the community as to whether it should exist at all. I will do that now. Carrite (talk) 06:05, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- AfD nomination is HERE. Carrite (talk) 06:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- I have to agree, as I have never seen an article like this in any scholarly (or even popular) work in my life; the page is full of POVs, original research and misleading edits, and is of very dubious value. We live in a world where there is cooperation in different areas between one-party and multi-party states, monarchies and republics, presidential and parliamentary systems, authoritarian and democratic countries, etc., and I have no idea who would decide to create a list of "monarchical regimes supported by Great Britain", "republican regimes supported by France", and so on, especially when the authors don't see a difference between "supporting a political regime" and "signing an agreement with another country". It's definitely not an encyclopedic article. Alter Z (talk) 06:43, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Duy Khoa Nguyen has had numerous warnings (see User talk:Duy Khoa Nguyen) about not adding reliable sources and creating unreferenced or unclearly referenced articles, including biographies of living people. Duy Khoa Nguyen has continued to edit but never responded to a talk page message. They do know how to edit their talk page, but have only done so to delete messages of concern from other editors.
Issues about unref/unclearly ref'ed blps have been brought to their attention several times over the last year, no changes to editing behaviour. Previous warnings they are risking a block haven't worked either. They also don't give edit summaries, so there really is no way to communicate. Boleyn (talk) 10:18, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- I agree this editor needs to start communicating. Most of their articles eventually end up sufficiently sourced, but man is it an uphill slog - and their own contributions to the process as often as not seem to consist in removing maintenance templates and/or sources added by other users.

- Boleyn, you marked the page for Mikhail Chudov as patroled, and left him messages on how to improve it (just one of the notes on his page, using it for an example). Why do you think it an issue that he hasn't? Frankly, this is only one of several notes you've left here at ANI on the subject of non communication. I'm beginning to think that you are overreacting a bit. If the subject is notable, and in the example above, it is, why do you think the editor has nay further obligations?

- I'm not sure where the criticism is coming from, but neither myself or any of the other administrators who have been reviewing these reports have expressed any reservations regarding their necessity. If anything, Boleyn deserves praise for the amount of time and effort they're investing to deal with these problem users; I will note for the record that Boleyn does not come rushing to AN/I after an "overreaction" but instead does so only after many attempts to communicate editing problems, followed by many attempts at pleading with these users to respond at all. And he does this with every single one of these users he reports. It must be maddening. It's clear that in all of these cases, Boleyn is coming here as a last resort, and not lightly. Introducing content with sourcing issues is considered disruptive editing, as is refusal/inability to communicate. Boleyn is correct in his stance that communication is mandatory, a fact that is reflected in policy. Commentary should be directed to his user talk page. Thanks, Swarm ♠ 23:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Accusations of socking/possible IP socking at: WP:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_authoritarian_regimes_supported_by_the_Soviet_Union_or_Russia

Things are starting to get hairy over at WP:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_authoritarian_regimes_supported_by_the_Soviet_Union_or_Russia with one accusation of socking and a couple !votes from IPs. This is clearly a contentious issue, as the original AfD was reported in a closed discussion above this. ANI does attract attention, doesn't it? I'm not specifically accusing any user of wrongdoing, but wanted to get some admin/experienced user attention on what is a contentious AfD. I start to get concerned when I start to see !votes from IPs that have no other edits than to either the article in question or the AfD process. Thanks in advance, Jip Orlando (talk) 17:43, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Repeated blanking and reverting by uncommunicative IP editor at 95.132.146.180

Earlier today I rolled back what I incorrectly interpreted as two unhelpful edits on an article -- by an IP editor, with no edit summary -- and simultaneously posted a Twinkle editing test notice on the IP's talkpage. The editor reverted my edit on the article, this time leaving a curt edit summary that indirectly explained the intent of the original edit. All would have been fine at this point, albeit a bit late. But the editor also reverted my Twinkle post on the IP talkpage, instead of leaving an explanatory message. I found this to be inappropriate, and restored my message, adding a note. The IP editor simply reverted my edit, leaving an unhelpful edit summary. This was repeated two more times, me using rollback and adding warnings re disruptive editing, the IP simply reverting these and blanking the page.
This is not a big deal, and it arose out of an innocuous misunderstanding that would have been avoided if the IP editor had deigned to leave an edit summary in the first place, (something the editor seems rarely inclined to provide). But in any case, I don't think it's appropriate that the IP editor repeatedly blanked the IP talkpage instead of discussing the issue.
Please note: I first reported this incident at AIV, an error due to my acting in haste and not really thinking about the nature of the incident. Please let me know if I should be at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring instead, or elsewhere, or if you think this incident does not warrant attention at all. Thanks in advance for your comments. Eric talk 03:29, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Per WP:TALK all users are free to blank their talk pages. That action assumes that they have acknowledged the message even if they chose not to respond to it. Also, please be careful in using the term rollback as that suggested you have the rollback tool which you do not. At this point, I would suggest letting the issue lie. The IP geolocates to the Ukraine, so I suspect there is a language barrier at play here. Blackmane (talk) 04:06, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Eric, once it was clear that those edits were not "test edits", then it was not appropriate for you to keep templating the IP talk page, repeating your "test edit" error. As Blackmane points out, it is perfectly acceptable for people to remove such warnings from their talk pages, more so if the warning was in error.

User:Dilipankhiya has continued to create unsourced BLP stubs after a series of warnings. There may also be an element of sockpuppetry here: User:42.106.31.69 seems to edit many of Dilipnakhiya's creations and few other articles - see Vivek Dhakar for latest example, edited by the IP 4 minutes after creation, and Rajiv Mathur edited after 3 minutes. Dilipankhiya has not responded to the many talk page requests and does not appear to understand the importance of sourcing for all articles but especially for BLPs. A block might draw this to their attention. PamD 08:41, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

One month ago, Avaya1 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) violated his topic-ban from editing Israel-related content and was warned that he will be blocked if it continues: ANI thread. I noticed, he learned nothing and still doing the same: [164], [165]. @Cullen328, Drmies, Kudpung, Lankiveil, and SarekOfVulcan: pinging participants of the previous discussion. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 12:44, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I would be in favour of an indef, but I'm concerned with the semantics of the TB as pronounced by my learned colleague Drmies. Not being a spcialist on nationhood, ethnology, or world religions myself, I'm not sure if 'Israel related' applies to all articles mentioning, or about Jews in general. If it does, then this is a clearly tendentious editor and clearly an indeff at this stage is warranted, and I would have no hesitation at pressing the button. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:22, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Kudpung: In the first diff provided, he edited info about pre-independence Israel (scroll down). In the second one, he edited article about Israeli company. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 13:42, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
(ec)While I would be equally cautious, I think that although the first diff is in a historical context, it removed a reference to the modern state of Israel. Not knowing the background of the editor in question they could be pro-Israel (then the edit would be acceptable in itself while still violating the topic ban) or they could be anti Israel (then the edit would be both disruptive editing and violating the topic ban). The second edit shows that they still skirt around the subject. Agathoclea (talk) 13:44, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Agathoclea: "the state of Israel" part was added by him two minutes before: [166]. Still, I'd say that Zionism, which is foundation of Israel, is within the area of the topic ban. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 14:33, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Looking at those diffs, I'm hesitant to call those violations. In the first one, he seems to have promptly corrected the mistake of referring to Israel, and I'm not sure that the second one wouldn't be stretching broad construction a bit too far. The case could be made, though. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:08, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm with Sarek, more or less. The second, no one should block for that. Then again, User:Avaya1, dancing around the edges of a topic ban is never a great idea. Drmies (talk) 15:59, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

User:Mihailo79 has violated WP:OWN and WP:NOR in Dunav osiguranje article, putting promotional content of, supposedly, the company he works for, and even put several image files of himself in the article. Also, he reverted my edits ([168]) in which I have removed these images and later on my talk page pointed that he has crated the article and is actively maintaining it. Also, that this article is "practical part of his doctoral dissertation" and that it is better to stay the way it has been before (my edits) so that he doesn't need to remove content himself (which he eventually did).

- Dobro. Jednostavnije je objasnit zasto se ove promjene prave nego sto jesta komentarisat samo onako. Galerije slike se rijetko koriste ovdje ali kad se koristi mora imati neki razlog. Kao za primjer, slika zgrade je mogla ostati. Nikakav problem sanjom nema. Ali ostale slike nemaju nikaku directnu relaciju sa subjektom clanka. Slika Kim Kardashijena nema nikake veze satim sto je napisano. Skoro svaka "insurance" kompanija daje zivatno osiguranje. Pogotova svaka kompanija ima "coffee break". Drugo, enciclopedija nije mjesto za pisat oglas. Sto se kaze "stick to the facts" - recimo prevodjeno da to znaci "ostani sa podatcima". Ovo "Dunav osiguranje is a modern company, a leader in the Serbian insurance market, and the only Serbian company registered in all types of insurance in the country" je misljenje a ne cinjenica. A zadnja vazna stvar je da sve, manje vise, mora imati citat(?) koji je provjerljiv.
Ok. It's simpler to explain why these changes are being made then it is to just commentate. Galleries of images are rarely used around here, but, when they are used, there has to be some reason. For example, the picture of the building is fine and could have stayed. There's no problems with it. However, the rest of the pictures don't have any direct relation with the article subject. A photo of Kim Kardashian has nothing to do with what's written. Almost every insurance company has life insurance. Especially, every company has coffee breaks. Second, the encyclopaedia is not a place to write adverts. What we call "stick to the facts" - approximately translate to mean "stick to the facts". This "Dunav osiguranje is a modern company, a leader in the Serbian insurance market, and the only Serbian company registered in all types of insurance in the country." is an opinion and not a fact. The last important thing is that everything, more or less, has to have a citation which can be verified. Mr rnddude (talk) 15:17, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Proizvode koje sam naveo ima samo Dunav u zemlji i svetu. Slika je vezana za poslove osiguravajućih kompanija i sve su uklopljene tako da odražavaju sliku, misiju i viziju Kompanije Dunav. Wiki zajednica je prihvatila ovu stranu u ovom obliku duže od godinu dana. Sada su se javili pojedinci koje te slike vređaju, kojima te slike smetaju. Enciklopedija ne treba da bude suvoparna i da odbija ljude od čitanja članka već atraktivna u svakom pogledu. The products i have mentioned are rarity and only Dunav osuguranje got tham in portfolio in the Serbia and the World. The picturey are connected with the mission and vision of Dunav osiguranje. Wiki comunnity has acceptes this page in this form for more than a year. Now some individuals find tham offended with these pictures. Encyclopedia shouldnt be boaring but attractive in every way.

Side note: If you really must use both Serbocroatian and English here (though, I'm not sure it's allowed), at least first write the English message and then the other one, preferably within the <small> tag.

I created the page and I'm keeping it updated. Creating Wiki articles is a practical part of my PhD on Marketing metrics.
(emphasis mine)My work already cites the Dunav osiguranje Wiki page, and I have described it in details in my thesis that I should be defending soon. I would ask you to please keep the page as it is right now so that I don't have to re-do my work. It's entirely about the style, there's nothing wrong about the relevance of data, Wiki community doesn't enter into conflicts regarding esthetics and style.

Problems with User:Koala15's editing
Statement signed. Let's wait and see, and let's hope we won't be back here. Drmies (talk) 02:04, 3 February 2018 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Koala15 (talk · contribs) made this edit on Decker (TV series) and this edit on First Kiss (Kid Rock album) (amongst other edits) within the last week which removed a huge amount of valid content without any explanation or talk page discussion. Upon further examination of the user's recent contributions the following is clear:
- The user is a longstanding serial mass reverter and vandal. They have been blocked two times for similar behavior and have an exceptionally long history of removing content and reverting edits without explanation as well as persistent edit-warring. At least 30 Wikipedians including myself, and at least 3 Admins(Ad Orientem (talk·contribs), BD2412 (talk·contribs))(Edit third admin: Tokyogirl79 (talk·contribs)) have had numerous problems with their edits being reverted by the user with no explanation and general edit warring from the user. They continue this behavior even after being warned. (Edit: According to WP:Vandalism these edits are considered as such due to "The unexplained removal of encyclopedic content," constituting vandalism. I think after all the warnings he has received that we can define this as vandalistic editing.) [175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193][194][195][196][197][198][199][200][201][202][203][204][205][206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214][215][216][217][218][219][220][221][222][223])
- User has been warned at least 15 times about this behavior. ([224][225][226][227][228][229][230][231])
- User has been reported to the Administrators noticeboard at least 10 times for edit warring and general disruptive editing such as vandalism. He was discussed at length on these other occasions: [232], [233][234][235][236][237][238][239][240]
- There is a large discussion about him from 2 years ago at [241] regarding his civility and competence as an editor. He has clearly not complied with any of the advice given.
- EDIT: User has a long history of making uncivil remarks per the discussions at ANI.
- EDIT: User refuses to abide by WP:COPYRIGHT, has numerous infringements stretching back years.
This user has no place anymore on Wikipedia per all of this coming to light. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 01:16, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- As one of the participants in the above-referenced (July 2015) discussion of Koala15's editing practices, and with benefit now of two and half more years worth of evidence: Koala15 is incapable of learning from experience, from other editors, or even from the several corrective processes that have been prompted by those practices. The ability to learn is an essential component of competence as a Wikipedia editor. I join the OP in calling for a long-term, if not indefinite, block. General IzationTalk 01:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced the problems are that severe; I'd like to see more recent diffs of bad edits and not just warnings, many of which are old. Koala15 certainly appears to have a communication problem. I look forward to hearing from that user. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:41, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I wouldn't count on hearing from Koala15. A review of Koala15's edits in the article Talk space for the last 15 months shows that they enjoy creating Talk pages, but have almost never (possibly have never) engaged in a conversation with another editor in that space. They contributed only one comment to the discussion here that resulted in their most recent block, and then only after having been blocked. That comment sums up, I think, why we are here again.

- These two edits make in the past week are the only edits that I know of first hand from the user. They both lack an edit summary and involve mass removal of valid content, including sources. this editand this one. The user was blocked for this same behavior within the past year. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 01:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I would also add that the user has had multiple warnings to correct this behavior per the above links. The user has refused to abide by those requests. -- Gokunks(Speak to me) 01:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I think both those edits are mostly fine. On the first diff, Facebook/Youtube links generally aren't included in articles; the prose diffs appear to be moves. (I can't defend removing the Requested Move notice, and have no opinions on categories at all) On the second one, no references are removed and I find the inclusion of 5 genres in the infobox to be preposterous. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:48, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

- OK. I think a requirement to use edit summaries would be ideal, but if Koala15 isn't involved in the process that's simply a long and painful way of blocking him. I'll wait for feedback from other contributors before commenting further. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:04, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

- I'm not convinced the problems are that severe; I'd like to see more recent diffs of bad edits and not just warnings, many of which are old. Koala15 certainly appears to have a communication problem. I look forward to hearing from that user. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:41, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- As one of the participants in the above-referenced (July 2015) discussion of Koala15's editing practices, and with benefit now of two and half more years worth of evidence: Koala15 is incapable of learning from experience, from other editors, or even from the several corrective processes that have been prompted by those practices. The ability to learn is an essential component of competence as a Wikipedia editor. I join the OP in calling for a long-term, if not indefinite, block.

- @Power~enwiki: Not helpful. WP:CANVASS exists to protect the institution of consensus-building from the subversive rigging of discussions. There's literally no attempt at consensus-building going on here, they're simply trying to make the case for a discretionary block from an administrator, and there is nothing wrong with soliciting additional input to help make the case for one. I don't see how you can ask for more diffs and then scold the user for attempting to solicit additional input. @R9tgokunks: I'm busy at the moment, but I'll be able to look in to this at some point tonight if no one else gets around to it.

- (edit conflict) Despite the ping comment, I'm largely uninvolved aside from popping into an ANI proposing a block a few years ago with this comment. Seeing that this kind of stuff is still going on, it's clearly becoming a long-term waste of the community's time even if its seemingly low level disruption. As discussed in previous ANIs, the WP:ROPE should have been short years ago, so I'm unfortunately more inclined for longer-term blocks at this point if low level stuff keeps up (though I'm just repeating myself from my 2015 ANI comment at this point apparently). Kingofaces43 (talk) 03:09, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I've noticed that while the discussion on his competence took place in July 2015, he was blocked in July 2017, and then literally a day after the block expired, he went back to the same edit-warring and reverting behavior as see in the two succeeding posts post-block.here and here His behavior is obviously unchanged per the recent edits I have pointed out. This is a grave situation and I feel preventive measure must be taken to keep this from happening again. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 03:11, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, so I've reviewed every diff. Two major things stand out to me. The 2015 discussion[247] that made a strong case for a longterm pattern of behavioral problems yet was closed without action (though the closer notably suggested that ARBCOM may be needed to deal with this user). And the June 2017 discussion[248] that made a strong case for, and resulted in, a block, and also resulted in the documentation of the resumption of the behavior that led to the block, immediately after its expiry. For this, Koala was warned, but no further action was taken. Let's be honest. Koala has over 100k edits. We don't sanction these editors lightly, ever, no matter how disruptive they become. Koala is a low-level offender, but a longterm one, and the biggest issue is their lack of communication. In my view, the appropriate response should be low-level, but longterm as well: Koala is to be blocked indefinitely. The block is to be lifted at whichever point Koala makes a pledge to simply communicate going forward, to engage in good faith discussion and, if necessary, to engage in dispute resolution whenever they become involved in any dispute. A simple pledge to behave how every other editor is expected to behave. Koala is to be taken at their word and unblocked without issue if such a pledge is provided, and no one will bother them further. If they don't live up to their word once given, the indef will simply be reinstated. I'll hold off in case anyone has a better idea, and if Koala is willing to give us such a pledge in the meantime, then great, no block necessary. But I think it's clear that a change is needed on Koala's part. This has gone on way too long. Swarm ♠ 07:29, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I would be more comfortable with an outright indefinite block.
- The user has had many chances to atone, and has been nothing but uncivil and uncooperative along the way.
- The fact that I have dealt with the user first hand, two times this week, says alot about his editing style. It is overly brash, confrontational, lacks competence, implicitly vandalistic, and I don't see this situation improving.
- I also feel this user clearly doesn't care for the consensus aspect of Wikipedia, which is a huge red flag that this behavior will continue.
- But,if no one else agrees with a flat long-term block, then I'd deal with that -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 09:54, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I've looked as well, and I say go ahead, Swarm. As for the header of this discussion, I know the recommendation that new ANI threads should have an informative, neutral title is more honoured in the breach than the observance, but this header is really not right. I've changed it. Bishonen talk 10:18, 2 February 2018 (UTC).
- Well... Koala15 is generally uncommunicative, but he's not completely uncommunicative. I know that he left at least one message on my talk page (diff). He also does some useful anti-vandalism mixed in with all the edit warring. I think an indefinite block is a little harsh, but I don't have an alternative to offer. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Can this be fixed with a 0RR restriction? Example text:
- Koala15 is subject to a zero revert restriction indefinitely, with the exception of reverting obvious vandalism. If an edit made by Koala15 is challenged or reverted, he is required to gain consensus on Talk prior to reinstating the edit.
- Would that do? Guy(Help!) 11:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think we can manage without something that addresses the uncommunicativeness, Guy; he has been told off about it often enough. For instance, look at Koala's most recent edit on his talk (the first since November 2017), where he responds to a complaint about an unsourced article that he created. Apparently he has given references, but they don't contain the right information . A serious complaint, in other words. Koala replies that he does do research, and has got the information from "books and newspapers and stuff like that". And when he's politely urged to add the fruits of his research as actual references to the article, he doesn't reply, nor remedy the article's sourcing; he just goes on editing other articles. That's very frustrating for other editors, and seems unfortunately typical. He has also been upbraided about his lack of edit summaries, another communication issue, but nothing changed there either. Bishonentalk 12:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC).
- How about:
- Koala15 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is subject to a zero-revert restriction. Koala15 is also required to cite sources for all new articles and all substantial edits. Koala15 may not replace sourced text with unsourced text.
- Would that work? I am really looking at what ArbCom might do here, to avoid blocking. Guy(Help!) 12:38, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think this would be a case for Arbcom, but I think Swarm has come up with the best suggestion. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:13, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

- I've sent the conditions I proposed above to Koala. In deference to JzG, I've given him a chance to agree up front, in order to avoid blocking entirely. Just to be clear, this isn't an attempt to indef a power user (I don't want or expect any indef block stick permanently), but an opportunity for them to correct the problem themselves and to go about their business, out of respect for their contributions. Worst case scenario, they fail to do so, and the indefinite block will act as a failsafe which can be conditionally lifted in exchange for harsher editing restrictions such as the ones Guy proposed. Swarm ♠ 19:55, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Koala is not a vandal and their contributions by and large have been constructive. However as noted above and over various other threads, their refusal to communicate is so pervasive that it is disruptive. I told them to stop a long time ago and was neither the first nor the last to do so. We have a wall of text above that can be boiled down to this... Koala needs to promise to make no more edits, including reverting, and or redacting content w/o an explanatory edit summary. That's it. If they will promise to do so then I think we can move on until/unless it becomes clear that they are not keeping their word. If/when that happens they should be blocked. No need for endlessly rehashing the obvious. @Koala15... are you prepared to promise that you will stop this very disruptive lack of communication? Understand that if you fail to keep said promise that any admin would be within their right to just slap a block on you without further recourse to ANI.-Ad Orientem (talk) 19:57, 2 February 2018 (UTC)- @Ad Orientem: Uh...Ad? With respect, you just repeated exactly what I suggested yesterday and have already sent them on their talk page.

I know you're a fairly new admin, but you will undoubtedly learn with experience that unilateral admin actions against users of this magnitude almost always fail to stick. If you want to actually do something that will make a difference in these situations, the response needs to be tactfully discussed, planned, and measured. Jumping into a long AN/I thread, attempting to "boil down" extensive discussion, and interjecting with your own unilateral solution is not especially helpful.

User:Luigi Laitinen changing multiple birth dates without references.
(non-admin closure) Resolved amicably. Kleuske (talk) 12:10, 3 February 2018 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello, I have spent a rather long time reverting edits made by User:Luigi Laitinen who is changing the birth years, days and months of Wiki subjects without any sort of references. I first noticed this pattern when Luigi Laitinen changed the birth year on an article I created (Mart Müürisepp) without reference or explanation when the birth year was previously referenced. I then reverted the edit and noticed the user's contribution page had countless incidents of the user seemingly randomly changing the year, month or day of individual Wiki subject articles with no explanation and no references for the changes. After a while of reverting these types of changes without references, I noticed that there are currently too many for me to manually revert at this time. I finally stopped at the article entry for Lin Han, which was edited by the user on 21 January 2018. If you look at this contributors page here [[249]], you can see that on 21 January 2018 and further back, there are so many that entries that have had the dates changed by Luigi Laitinen without reference. I am not sure how to proceed from here. I appreciate all input. Thank you. ExRat (talk) 19:39, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I took a look at Joan Cassis where Luigi Laitinen changed the year of birth from 1962 to 1952. The references already in the article make it clear that 1952 is the correct year. Accordingly, you reverted to a version that was in error, ExRat. She graduated from high school in 1970, and her age at death in 1996 was reported as 43. Cullen328Let's discuss it 20:15, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Perhaps I didn't assume enough good faith. But, without any sort of references used by Luigi, it is so difficult to tell. Particularly, when there are so many articles that have had the dates changed and many already have references. There are articles going all the way back to November of 2017 that have had the dates changed. ExRat (talk) 20:22, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- BLP policy says that "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object." If you see an article where an unreferenced birth date has been changed to another unreferenced birth date, the solution is not to revert. You have no way of knowing which date is correct. Instead, you should look for widely published reliable sources verifying the date, and add the best one or two as references to the article. If the date of birth cannot be verified, it should be removed from the article. Luigi Laitinen, do not change birth dates without providing a reference to a reliable source. Our core content policy verifiability requires this. Cullen328Let's discuss it 21:28, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I would note that sneaky changing of numbers and dates is a very often used vandalism mode. I come across it so often that I once created a series of standard user warning templates for it, but they were deleted as duplicative of another series.

- Umm. Looking at User:Luigi Laitinen's edit summaries, it seems clear that he is reconciling Article DOB and Person box data DOB, in articles where they do not match. So, this is more of a typo correction. User:Cullen328, AFAIK, he doesn't need to provide (additional) reliable sources, because they are already present in the articles, which are short bios/sports bios. User:ExRat I have checked your first 14 reverts, and he appears to have checked the DOB against the sources/article sources. The reverts have now placed incorrect info to the articles. (Look at Teodoro Mendes Tavares, in "college" in 1986, born in either 1931 or 1964? WTF??) ExRat, could you please self-revert these edits, so we don't look like an edit war is happening? (Sorry, dude). Will post offer of assistance on your TP. I feel that User:Luigi Laitinen is a good faith wiki gnome, who wants to be an asset to the project. Not a Vandal. Thanks!Tribe of Tiger (talk) 00:56, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- Tribe of Tiger, you are correct that additional references are not needed if a reference to a reliable source confirming the date of birth is already in the article. You are also correct about Teodoro Mendes Tavares, since the existing reference to the Catholic hierarchy website verifies that he was born in 1964, not 1931. I have edited the article accordingly. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:10, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

- Thank you all for your help. I am sincerely sorry if I caused some chaos. I was honestly confused by the multitude of date changes without any sourcing and I suppose I believed there was vandalism happening. I will be more diligent in the future. I have offered User:Luigi Laitinen an apology on his talk page and have reverted my reverts (save one, the original article Mart Müürisepp, which I created and whose birth was referenced). I should have assumed good faith in the edits, but was a bit at a loss because of the lack of sourcing/inline citations and the great number of date changes. Once again, my apologies to all for wasted time. ExRat (talk) 03:13, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
User:TheRealBoognish reverting all edits to Kid Rock that aren't his, seemingly.
DECLINED | |
This is a content dispute. There aren't even any apparent reversions to speak of. Boognish is just making a lot of edits, some of which you disagree with. Knock it off. Take it to the talk page and communicate. That means talk. Discuss. Make civil arguments and counterarguments. And, if all else fails, continue to talk. Boognish is leaving edit summaries and creating numerous discussions on the talk page. You're inappropriately "warning" him with a cavalcade of authoritative templates, which is bordering on harassment. Quit warning and reporting this user to administrators.

I last reported this user last week for breaking 3RR with 5 reverts and general edit warring and behavior that seemed disruptive and inappropriate.[250]
The article that he was participating in this at was instead protected for almost a week. He has a history of editing that article many times per day that suggests he thinks he has some sort of ownership of the article, and has ironically accused others of trying to "control the article."
Granted, the user was very open to collaboration in the period that the article was closed. I was very hopeful. The article was unprotected and the user had made good edits to it. I decided to collaborate and change a few things to better fit what I see as what is more common on Wikipedia, I changed "Artistry" to "Musical style" per the content of the section, and I added a sourced interview stating that Kid Rock calls himself a Republican, including the fact that he calls himself such and I also differentiated liberalism with social liberalism.
My edits were removed by the user and he gave hollow or no explanations for the reversions.[251][252] I feel this user needs to learn to work with others instead of reverting everything anyone else does to articles. I have had to remind them twice that one cannot claim ownership of articles. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 09:44, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Did you read my edits at all? They aren't revisions, they are different changes, and not tied to keeping "my" version of the article, and I gave explanations of my changes. Many of them expand upon changes you make. It is clear that you are trying to prevent anyone else from editing the article in a way that you disagree with. I cleaned up grammar and condensed the repetitive prose. I added and expanded upon content. There was already discussion of Kid Rock's involvement with the Republican Party. "Republican" is not a political ideology or philosophy, it is a very specific political Party. You got to work with other people, not try to own articles. Also, we went over this, I did not break 3RR. Your behavior is unprofessional and disrespectful. Ypu don't discuss anything, and you flat-out denied instigating an edit war for no reason, claiming you are a neutral party when you were one of two editors repeatedly reverting the article when anyone made changes you didn't like. You are trying to push a your-way-or-the-highway approach to editing. I'm trying to remain civil. You haven't discussed any changes, yet you go to the noticeboard without trying to reason for the changes you are demanding? Why? And what purpose does repeatedly saying the same thing accomplish? Do you even read the articles or do you just want your "stamp" on an article in the form of bad grammar, misplaced commas and repetition? I suppose next you'll say that I've added no changes to the article. What's really the issue? That the section named "artistry" isn't named "style and influences", even though there's barely any cited information about his influences and the section covers more than merely his "style"? Can you please act like a mature adult for one week, be civil and discuss things? Delete this thread and start a discussion on the talk page. There is no call for this. You are wasting administration's time unnecessarily and not helping the article with endless bickering over style and not adding anything to the article. You got it locked for several days for no reason. TheRealBoognish (talk) 10:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I changed it to Musical style, which is largely what is in that section. There is no mention of any other art than music. I can give you 10 examples of featured articles on Wikipedia about bands that use that same format. (see The Beatles, Nine Inch Nails) You gave NO reason for that change and did it stealthily. Every edit I have made to the article you have reverted or undone. -- Gokunks (Speak to me) 10:14, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- That literally makes no sense. You're accusing me of making reverts so subtle they don't look like reverts at all. One could almost say they aren't reverts. Also, if music bios don't have Artistry sections, then what is this, then? Stop splitting hairs. User:R9tgokunks, there's no agreement to change the section name, and there's nothing controversial in the edits I've made. TheRealBoognish (talk) 10:28, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

- R9tgokunks, it was protected for 2 days, not almost a week, and you made the ANEW report after it had already been protected, meaning that blocking at that point served no purpose. Please get the facts straight on that. Just from looking at the history, I can't see the obvious reverts at first glance. I'll let someone else handle this, but you need to show the reverts here, not just accuse someone who has different views from you of edit warring. TonyBallioni (talk) 11:16, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

I have come across this editor in my comings and goings through the project. The editor seems to vandalize a radio station article in a minor way, (like changing the community of license), which seems to been his/her M.O. and moments later changing it back. Myself and another editor, User:L293D, warned the user on the original Demoreasimpson account. I added a Warn4im warning for obvious and continued vandalism and an obvious sock was created and the vandalism was continued. With either account, no "good edits" have been made and both accounts appear to be vandalism-only. I would ask for the offending accounts to be blocked and a CU to be run to see if any sleepers are out there.
I haven't created an ANI discussion for over a year or asked for a CU or a user to be blocked, so please forgive me if my interpretation of policy and/or where to start discussions is a little outdated. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:48 on February 3, 2018 (UTC)
- Both accounts have been notified of this ANI thread. I have also notified L293D, but solely because I mentioned him (in passing) in the above post. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 16:00 on February 3, 2018 (UTC)
- @Neutralhomer: You should have filed this at WP:SPI. Also, the master is Demoreasimpson16, not the other account. The master is determined by the account creation date, not the date of the first edit. In any event, this was pretty obvious. I've blocked and tagged both accounts. Thanks for reporting the disruption.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:07, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

User:Beyond My Ken
I don't think we need a consensus on how to close this. I essentially agree with Black Kite. I will post an "only warning" on SunCrow's Talk page that unless they stop their disruptive editing - which includes erroneously labeling articles, parts of articles, or users POV and edit-warring - they risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:17, 4 February 2018 (UTC) |

I am writing to request third-party involvement in a situation involving User:Beyond My Ken.
Early this morning, I noticed that a number of pages on my watchlist had recently been edited by Beyond My Ken. (I do not believe that I have ever interacted with Beyond My Ken before.) I also noticed that rather large chunks of sourced material (in some cases, multiple paragraphs) that I had added to various pages had been deleted with no discussion whatsoever. While I am mindful of WP:OWN, the subject lines of the edits didn't make sense to me and the deletions seemed a bit overboard. I undid the reverts and visited Beyond My Ken's talk page (User talk:Beyond My Ken), where I pointed out the problem, told him that I didn't appreciate his disruptive edits, and stated that I would seek third-party involvement if needed. Beyond My Ken responded with what I can only describe as a diatribe, accusing me of being "here to do hit jobs on politicians you don't like, and promote those that you do" and adding that "any article about a Democrat that you edit -- such as Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio -- you add as much dirt as you can find -- violating WP:WEIGHT and at times WP:BLP -- and on any Republican or conservative's article -- such as Kathy Marchione -- you add as much styraightforward promotional material as you can..." Beyond My Ken added that he intended to continue to revert my edits. Two other editors (one of whom I have had disagreements with) made comments in support of Beyond My Ken. Beyond My Ken then reinstated his reverts of my edits, referring to me as a "POV editor." Rather than continuing a non-productive conversation, I came here.
First, I believe that Beyond My Ken has violated WP:PA and WP:HOUND.
Second, the material he deleted was NPOV, was notable, and was sourced.
Third, the accusations are not true. I do edit pages that have controversial content, and I do edit boldly. However, my goal is to improve every page that I work on and to produce pages that are balanced, well-written, well-sourced, and neutral. I don't believe I have violated any Wikipedia policies. I have edited the Wikipedia pages of many members of both major political parties, and I believe that I have improved those pages and treated the subjects of those pages fairly. If anyone truly believes that my edits have resulted in an article that is slanted, I am open to input and willing to work with others to restore NPOV. However, I don't appreciate disruptive edits or personal attacks.
As required, I have notified Beyond My Ken of this discussion.
Thank you.

- You need to provide specific diffs. I'm not going to go digging around all yours and his contribs to figure it out. I would also note that NPOV has nothing to do with sources per se. Your understanding of "notable" seems flawed here as well, since an individual fact isn't "notable". More importantly, if you are going to accuse someone of hounding or personal attacks, you MUST provide evidence in the form of diffs. Otherwise, you are casting aspersions, which IS a policy violation (WP:CIVIL) and we don't need a diff for it because it is right here on this page. Put up the diffs or withdraw the claims, please. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Move to close with no action: I'm going to suggest we be charitable here and close this as a pure content dispute, which, on the face of SunCrow's complaint, it is. There's no suggested motivation for the claimed wikihounding; in fact, apart from the use of the term, there's nothing to suggest its presence in the complaint. In fact, without more, checking out someone's other edits after encountering something you think is out-of-policy is both normal and acceptable. As SunCrow says,
I do not believe that I have ever interacted with Beyond My Ken before.
Where there's no history of difficult interactions, it's probably impossible to make a case that there's wikihounding. And, again, this is entirely on the face of SunCrow's complaint: It does not take into account anything we know about either SunCrow or BMK. Based entirely on that, it's a content dispute dressed up to be a behavioral dispute. And on that basis, I think we should be charitable and just close this. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 00:17, 4 February 2018 (UTC)- When someone says First, I believe that Beyond My Ken has violated WP:PA and WP:HOUND., I really can't just close it and ignore their complaint. IF BYK has done something that is too aggressive, then we need to address it. The other stuff is more content related, but the quoted portion is a strong accusation that I can't just blow off and close over. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:22, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- You only need to look at Family Research Council, where this editor has been reverted by four other editors in the last two days, to see what's happening. BMK has seen one or more of their excessive POV edits at one article, and then looked at what else they've been posting - and reverted that as well. This can be closed, with a warning to SunCrow to stop throwing POV edits at such articles and then edit-warring over them, which the ARBAPDS warning should hopefully achieve. Black Kite (talk) 00:27, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

It has been annouced on Commons that User:HalfGig is an illicit sockpuppet of User:PumpkinSky, and has been used to cheat with voting on 96 Featured Picture Candidates. Both accounts are now blocked on Commons and likely that PumpkinSky's admin bit will be removed shortly.
No evidence of such wrongdoing has been indicated for the Wikipedia accounts, but per Wikipedia:Sock puppetry, I don't believe it is permitted for PumpkinSky to operate both accounts here. My guess is that the HalfGig account was created in order to continue to participate at Feature Articles after the PumpkinSky account had become toxic to the community there. Users with long memories will recall that PumpkinSky is itself a clandestine sockpuppet of User:Rlevse. -- Colin°Talk 11:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Ownership and false citing
Tenebrae, lose the rhetoric, about BMK, about Davey, about anyone who doesn't agree with you on the proper way to resolve this dispute. Go back to the Talk page and work it out, without accusations. Whether you think they're supported or not, it's still unproductive. This should not have been brought here, and it's predictably going nowhere.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC) |

User:Beyond My Ken, who in past encounters has proven quick to anger and condescending, is now owning the article Crusader Rabbit to the point where he will not allow an editor to even add archival links to an existing citation.
More troubling is that he insists on including falsehoods — specifically, claiming that cited sources support specific claims when they demonstrably, objectively do not. When I tried to discuss this on the article's talk page, he told me I had to mark the unsupported claims with a citation-needed tag. Aside from the fact this would result in a sea of tags, isn't the onus on whoever inserts or reinserts information to WP:VERIFY it?
I've tried twice over the past few days to remove unsupported claims and add an archival link, and he twice wholesale-reverted. Can an editor be allowed to own an article so much that he won't allow archival links, and to knowingly leave false citations? --Tenebrae (talk)
- "The fact that you're knowingly making falsehoods — falsely claiming that a cited source supports the information when you know it does not" You are being highly disingenuous, here. No where did BYK say any such thing. I don't see anything wrong in BYK wanting to discuss your proposed changes on the talk page. Casting aspersions and failure to assume good faith, is a problem though. Ken wants to create a great experience for our readers, just as you do. I think this can be talked out on the talk page. --Adamfinmo (talk) 19:32, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- (random person weighing in) Discuss it on the talk page. Also, if you don't want unsourced information, Wikipedia probably isn't the right place to be. I agree that things need to be cited, but sometimes circumstances make it difficult to cite properly, and otherwise there's huge gaps in the article. -A lad insane(Channel 2) 19:37, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- "if you don't want unsourced information, Wikipedia probably isn't the right place to be." That's the opposite of our core policy, WP:VERIFY. No, we are not supposed to be going around adding unsourced claims. I can't believe anyone would suggest we should. Additionally, it's not "unsourced" — it has a source, but a false one that doesn't support the claim. Pretending to add a source when you know it's false is a deliberate falsehood.--Tenebrae (talk) 20:36, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not saying that it's good to have unsourced material, I'm saying that many articles are hopeless unsourced messes that can't be deleted because they're notable, and there's too many of them to deal with in a timely manner. Deleting anything unsourced is bad too because then there's huge gaps in the article and it's incoherent. Check this one out, for example. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 20:50, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I work with Ryan Hampton, the author of AMERICAN FIX. His book is currently published by Macmillan/St. Martins Press. See here: https://us.macmillan.com/author/ryanhampton/. I am trying to submit him at articles for creation for someone else to consider writing an article about him. He is considered in the United States as the lead activist on opioid related issues and has plenty of notable references to back it up (NYT, Slate, WSJ, etc.). However, when trying to create a title under RYAN HAMPTON (AUTHOR) it says the name is banned and to contact an admin. Since I am close to the subject, I am only requesting an article for creation under his name. Since his notability is verifiable, is there a way to have the ban on his name lifted and his background submitted to articles for creation? Please let me know. I will disclose my closeness to the subject in the article when submitted. Thank you! D4g2018 (talk)Garrett Hade —Preceding undated comment added 02:40, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Gaming the system - vandalism user:Rickyc123
I would like to bring ANI attention that @Rickyc123: for I think he might have commited vandalism of gaming the system as he has done for many months. I post it here instead of at AIV as it a long list and not obvious vandalism which one could spot but need to go through many pages, diff histories, talk page, contribution page to notice. (a) copy and paste draft article (while the draft articles were waiting to be reviewed and create the articles under his name (b) delete draft article content and informed the article is not suitable and redirect to other page. Later recreate the same page by copy the initial editor draft content and created as his own (c) created many subjects with 30+ words each page, where the subjects have yet to pass the nobility requirements, and redirect to other pages. As other other editor want to create the subject when the subject has met the nobility criteria, the editor cant create them as they have been created and redirected. The editor could only remove the redirect tag and create the article and once the article is created, user:Rickyc123 redirect again and claim as his own creation. He has created page before and have been warned on not copied and paste other draft content to create his own, and should know not to create pages that cant meet nobility and direct it to namepage to stand by under someone create it and claim his own.
My assistance in Wikipedia is counter vandalism and I am an active mixed martial arts editor, particularly on UFC Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters pages and events, As such, I come to know most of the regular mma editors. I did not write anything on Rickyc123 talk page above this as the list is too long and the vandalism has been going on for more than 9 to 12 months, and conversation in talk page would not able to solve much as an admin/s intervention would be a better choice.
(1) Initial notice of User:Bennv3771 gaming the system - I came to know after Rickyc123 copied draft article (while still waiting for patroller to review the article) when @Bennv3771: tag a "Giving proper attribution per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia" message on Polo Reyes - see here [255]. I found out later Ricky123 had removed the tag -see here [256] and I restored the message back - see here [257] prior the page was restored to the original editor. Upon checking on Rikcyc123 talk page, I found out that he has done that to many other draft articles and make them his own - see here the message from User:Bennv3771 - see here below text and link here - [258]. I believe there are still some drafted copies he has copied and created as his own besides what was discovered by User:Bennv3771
(2) The Ultimate Fighter 27 / The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated I had created a page on 9 January 2018 [259] and was reviewed by user:Abishe on the same day (00:56, 10 January 2018 Abishe (talk contribs) marked revision 819420326 of page The Ultimate Fighter 27 patrolled - see here [260] and here [ttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Ultimate_Fighter_27&oldid=819420326&diff=prev]. I noticed later on January 27, the page has been changed the creator to Rickyc123. Do note the page has been changed from "The Ultimate Fighter 27 (the original name which I created) to "The Ultimate Fighter: Battle of the Undefeated" and now is renamed again to "The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated" - see here the change of names [261] and see here [262].
(3) Frank Camacho I wanted to created a article, title/subject name Frank Camacho, which was deleted four years ago on January 17 2014 -and also was AfDed on November 2, 2017 - see here [263], as the subject would be passed NMMA criteria on 27 January 2018 as the subject would have fought 3 top tier promotion fight. I found out the I could not create the title as it was redirect to List of current UFC fighters, same as like many others fighters. For such I wrote to Teahouse and seek for advise - Here is the full Teahouse conversation - Frank Camacho. After the communication on Teahouse User:WereSpielChequers has moved the creator back the Embryomystic, on the copy I have created on 27 January 2018. From the diff history of Frank Camacho - see here [264], I found out that User:Rickyc123 has redirected Frank Camacho AfD copy to List of current UFC fighters - see here [265].
Upon further investigation from his contribution page and talk page, I found out he has done that to many AfDed fighters page and redirected to List of current UFC fighters, which all the fighters do not have page currently and as well as other similar pages in WWW fighters, Tennis, and more. What he tries to achieve is to claim other editors work as his own by first created a few line of the subject then redirected to a namepage which associated to the subject. And when an editor has created the subject and got published, Rickyc123 redirected the page and make it into his creation.
Here are the pages without namepage page, either been AfDed or have not been reviewed/created which are directed to a namepage where Rickyc123 created a few line in hope of other users create them and redirect again to claim his own in the future. Here I some could find as one have to go line by line on this contribution page from beginning of 2017.
(i) Pages of MMA fighters without a page redirected to List of current UFC fighters - Justin Willis, Marcelo Golm, Adam Wieczorek, Dmitry Poberezhets, Aleksandar Rakić, Michal Oleksiejczuk, Marcin Prachnio, Magomed Ankalaev, Azamat Murzakanov, Trevin Giles, Oskar Piechota, Markus Perez, Julian Marquez, John Phillips, Tim Williams, Daichi Abe, Abu Azaitar, Davi Ramos, Matt Frevola, Wang Guan, Dan Ige, Martin Buschkamp, Grant Dawson, Merab Dvalishvili, Alex Perez, Benito Lopez, Mark De La Rosa, Raoni Barcelos, Boston Salmon, Said Nurmagomedov, Lauren Mueller, Deiveson Alcântara Figueiredo, Joseph Morales, Priscila Cachoeira, Emily Whitmire, Gillian Robertson, Shana Dobson, Montana De La Rosa, Melinda Fabian, Polyana Viana, Xiaonan Yan, Caio Alencar, Bryce Mitchell

- and many many more.

- Entities with no pages of their own are often redirected to entities which logically "contain" them. For example, songs without separate articles are often linked to an album, an artist, or a composer. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Per WP:OWN, nobody can "claim the work of others", since nobody can claim any of their work as theirs anyways. There is no special perk to being the "creator" of an article, and such redirects are commonplace - I've made many myself, several of which have been expanded by others to full articles. ansh666 01:23, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

- I did leave this edit on Rickyc123's talk page when I realized many of the pages he created were copy-and-pasted from other users' draft's and AfC submissions (before the submissions were assessed, which resulted in them being declined because the "article already exists") without attribution, despite demonstrating that he knew how to move drafts to articles in the past. Those articles have been histmerged now and Rickyc123 hasn't copy-and-pasted another article since as far as I know. Bennv3771 (talk) 03:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- I do think Rickyc123 has a case of WP:IDHT and lack of communication as demonstrated in their talk page history (most of the "negative" messages have been removed). Such as when he immediately recreated a whole bunch of redirects that had just been deleted per consensus. Perhaps Rickys123 needs to cool off from creating articles/redirects and brush up on Wikipedia policies regarding creating articles. Bennv3771 (talk) 04:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- The point is when he create more than hundreds of redirect which (1) either the pages were AfD, (2) nobility no meet (2) when other editors create the page and he redirect to back to claim his own, (4) copy and paste of editors work while pages are still waiting to be review and caused the pages to be not review as the page had created. He has create pages before and what he intention is want ownership by stealing other ppl's work . What are we going to do with all the redirect without a page that nobility is not made? That is gaming the system which is a vandalism. I dont think he should have the redirect right and all ownership should be move back to the original creator.

I think seeing as this is about me, I should be able to defend myself.
1) Copy and pasting drafts: I am guilty of copy and pasting drafts. But this was while I still quite didn't understand the function of them. It was brought to my attention by User:Bennv3771 I have since found out about the move function and I have not repeated this since.
2) The Ultimate Fighter 27 situation All I did in this instance was change the name of an article by copy and paste as I don't know how to change the name of the article and when I looked at previous The ultimate fighters they used the official title of that season rather than what season it for example The Ultimate Fighter 25 is actually called The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption.
3) Redirects As for these I don't see what the problem is I'm redirecting people to somewhere which shows at least some information about the people they're looking for Such as when the MMA fighters are redirected to List of current UFC fighters viewers are shown what division they are in, their pro record, their UFC record and who their next fight is against. The footballers get redirected to something which shows their position, age and nationality. As for the tennis and darts events. The mini sub-categories are almost always redirected to the main articles and I even checked this by looking at previous years of the same event articles and this people never got any stick.
4) Taking Ownership I don't quite understand this one as how can I take credit for an article that like 100s of people edit on and I don't actually gain anything from creating an article or redirecting an article. I don't get how I can take ownership of an article. None of the articles in Wikipedia "belong" to me they belong to Wikipedia and I don't see what the problem is with redirecting articles.--Rickyc123 (talk) 13:23, 28 January 2018 (UTC)Rickyc123
- User:Rickyc123 I do counter vandalism work and am an active MMA editor, for such, I do check pages/logs of your claim. On your claim (1) is not true. From you talk page in May 2017, you had been informed by User:Semper liber of you copied Semper's draft content and pasted onto your own creation and publish it - see here [266]. You deleted the message meant you have read it - see here [267]. You then apologized to Semper liber on Semper's talk page - see here - [268] and as well as apologies again at the MMA Project talk page - see here [269] where you were advised by User:PRehse copy and paste should be avoided at all cost and should move the page to name page to retain the attribution of the creator. Bennv3771 brought it to your attention was on December 2017 - see here [270], where you copied Bennv3771's draft Age Before Beauty (TV series) page and pasted to make it your own page. The evident showed you lied and re-offended again with insight of not to do so.
- You attempt to evade your action by deleting the "attribution tag/message" by User:Bennv3771 on Devin Clark (fighter) and Polo Reye - see here [271] and [272] respectively. Further investigation from User:Bennv3771 you have copied other editor draft pages and pasted it to create you own - e.g. Yellowstone (U.S. TV series), Age Before Beauty (TV series), Thin Ice (2018 TV series), Kerman Lejarraga, Caleb Konley, Marco Polo Reyes, Devin Clark (fighter), Danielle Taylor (fighter)). It might be more draft pages you have copied and published your own, Adims could check the abandoned draft pages against your creation pages, which it might reveal more of such actions.
- This would go back to you point (4) Wikipedia content is belong to Wikipedia as contribution is a collaboration effort from many editors however, the proper arbrituation need to be made. For your action, many editors draft or creation were either not being review since a copies have been made by you or redirect from you, that would make editors discourage and not create any content. Content of Wikipedia is the foremost agenda in Wikipedia core. No content no Wikipedia. What you do is do able to put your created page which you do not work of an put them on your user page WP:ownership - that is not the spirit of a Wikipedia and by using all the evasion and sneaky loophole or techniques, to me that is Gaming the system is a form of vandalism.
- on point (2) and point (3) I create Frank Camacho and The Ultimate Fighter 27 and both of them were redirect and creation name became you before admin change Frank Camacho to the deleted draft editor who create the drat 4 years ago. You have create hundreds of pages (either they were AfDed, subjects which do not meet notetabiliy, or subject/event has yet to occur - such as US open but also subject that you had previous created and was Afed/CSD) and redirected all to a general name space - Question : why do you do that for?
- If you are here to contributed, this does not fit your motivation. upon checking when do that, once the article is created, you redirect it to the general page and redirect back again and since you make the creation of the page first, you name is your creation. This is exactly what happen to my creation page The Ultimate Fighter 27. You use this technique as it is not easy to detect. This is if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck".
- As I am familiar with the MMA pages in Wiki, here is the list I could find that your previous AfDed/CSD article which you created and redirect to List of current UFC fighters - Julian Marquez, Alex Perez (fighter), Kerman Lejarraga
- And below are MMA articles were AfDed or CSD created by user:Kasabia33 because they dont meet nobility criteria even as todate, Azamat Murzakanov, Daichi Abe, Aleksandar Rakić (fighter), Boston Salmon, Gina Mazany, Lauren Mueller, Deiveson Alcântara Figueiredo, Davi Ramos, Oskar Piechota, Adam Wieczorek, Matt Frevola, Xiaonan Yan, Terrion Ware, Marcelo Golm, Benito Lopez, Martin Buschkamp, John Phillips (fighter), Joseph Morales (fighter), Trevin Giles, Danny Henry (fighter), Priscila Cachoeira, Raoni Barcelos, Magomed Ankalaev, Ji Yeon Kim, Merab Dvalishvili, Tim Williams (fighter), Abu Azaitar, Markus Perez, Grant Dawson,
- You have created many articles yourself, and also went to AfD to protest some of your creation page for such you are well aware, no page should be created if the nobility is not meet and not to mention for those subjects have been AfDed. And yet you created them with a few line of info and redirect them to List of current UFC fighters. My questions is why you did you action such a manner, as it is your are WP:NOTHERE but trying to claim ownership where you could post on your talk page or under you creationlog, for this deter other editors who acutely wanting to contribute. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 18:43, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Okay, Rickyc123, there clearly are problems with what you are doing. It may be deliberate, it may be caused by a llack of technical knowledge, but in any case you should probably stop creating articles and redirects for a while and familiarize yourself more thoroughly with our rules on copying versus moving and so on. I'll take one example: The Ultimate Fighter 27 / The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated.
- On 16 December 2017, you created the latter as a redirect[273]. No problem.
- Between 9 and 14 January 2018, Cassiopeia and others created the former as an article[274]. No problem.
- On 26 January you redirect the former to the latter[275]. As that is the oldest of the two, this may not be a problem (I don't know the standard naming convention for these articles).
- At the same time, you changed the latter redirect into an article[276], by copy-pasting the content of the former article. The end result is that the actual work, the article writing by Cassiopeia and others, has disappeared, and that the article history now shows that you wrote the article instead[277].
This is a serious problem, and one you certainly should have been aware of after the same happened with the drafts. Fram (talk) 08:43, 29 January 2018 (UT
- @Fram:, Thank you for understanding my points and explained in much better way than I could. User:Rickyc123 not only
- (1) copied and pasted drafts copy from other editors while they drafts were waiting to be review and made it his own (because he could create page without going through Article for Creation progress and
- (2) Create a page with only text "#redirect" and immediately redirect to a related main page (for example, such as tittle :Frank Camacho to List of current UFC fighters, and when the page Frank Camacho is created (in this case I created the page) then he redirect my copy back to his and his name would be the creator.
- He create the page and redirect first for
- (1) not being the page to be review as it has been redirected,
- (2) because during his first create, the subject is yet to meet the nobility criteria (but will be soon),
- (3) or the event has yet to happen yet ( will soon be happened) and
- (4) he doesnt want to do all the research and adhere to the guidelines and policies of Wikipedia and steal other editor's work and claim his own. He done this not only to @Sember liber:, @Bennv3771:, @FrogeyesIT:, @Somethingwickedly: and @85.84.34.93:. and many more which evident will revealed once investigation is done.
- Just look at his page creation log, why a editor created coutless of pages (my previous msg only contain a portion of the pages he created for redirect) with text content only one or two words such as #REDIRECT# and immediate redirect to a general pages. The evident on pages Frank Camacho and The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated shows his intentions to claim his own his own later. On his page creation log, his submission pages (many) was either CSD, PROD, AfD until he steal other editor work sometime in May 2017 and pasted to published his own. And since Oct/Nov 2017 he starting to use the redirect method. I dont understand how could a page be created (without going through reviewer as it has not content and even it has will subject to AfD since it is not notable yet on the time of creation) and allow redirect immediately to other pages which by pass any change of review. It is not Rickyc123 does not understand the technical stuff in Wikipedia or Wikipedia policy on page creation, it is his way to do the minimum and sneaky way to make claim to show how many pages he has created where his contribution log revealed how many good faith/contribution edit he has done vs page creation/redirect pages and deletion of CSD & AfD tags. This is not the spirit of a Wikipedian, not here to contribute WP:NOTHERE, not here to collaboration, as he has confronted and informed of his actions where he apologies and did them again and again (and claim again later he didnt know) but his action a form of WP:Vandalism by WP:Gaming the system, which is similar to WP:PUPPET in a different way and it deters good faith editors to contribute. More will reveal when evident when investigation is done. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk)

(2) Original Content with no content and immediately redirect another general related page without going through review / not in NPP list. Once other editor removed the redirect and create the content - the creator became Rickyc123 owned. There are about 35/36 of them, but I just put a few example here.

(4) a series of #redirect with no content was deleted by Redirect team - see here [[[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 December 31#The ABC Murders (TV series)]] which I believe Rickyc123 hopes be the owner once the articles have creator by other and many pages have yet to put froward to redirect team for assessment where redirect without content - see Rickyc123 pages creation log.
There are also MMA fighters without content have been redirect List of current UFC fighters which I will report to wiki redirect later.

Gaming the system - vandalism user:Rickyc123 (part 2)
Rapidly changing IP making lots of little edits
Take a look at the history of Robert Byron, 13th Baron Byron here. Lots of little edits by IPs starting 105.73.27. Similar things on the other articles edited by the IPs listed there, mostly to do with members of the Byron family. This seems to me to be rather suspicious, so, does this ring any bells, and what, if anything, should be done? I shall leave an ANI notice on the latest three IP talk pages.

User: Musashi miyamoto
Bish has cut the Gordian knot. Guy (Help!) 21:55, 5 February 2018 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
There has been a long discussion on edits made by Musashi miyamoto on Talk:List of unsolved problems in physics. The problem began when Arianewiki1 reverted [309] Justification for these additions were they were simply questionable, and Arianewiki1 reverted them for multiple issues including no edit comments or questionable cites. Also was guidelines for Musashi miyamoto to go to the article's Talkpage to discuss.
They were notified in Section "Edit warring" by DVdm on 20th January, which later incurred a 24hour block for 3RR[310]. It was declined once[311], but were conditionally unblocked.[312]. Arianewiki1 (and others) have many tried explained editing policies under Talk:List of unsolved problems in physics#News edits and Talk:List of unsolved problems in physics#Reverting unsupported and improperly cited material.
There is now a continued problem 12 days later, especially in the wrong claim of ROWN - Revert only when necessary and the other editing responsibilities. This has crossed into disruptive editing.
The main issue now is with section Problem in astronomy, not physics and Arbitrary section break. Arianewiki1 again explained to Musashi miyamoto is ignoring basic editing policies.[313]
Musashi miyamoto response was here[314] and here[315]
Responses in these two links specifically include the statements:
- "You have also not explained why you point me to WP polices, which are not relevant to my edits." (I repeatedly have)
- "You again lie in your above text in virtually every single sentence, thus not being WP:Honest, WP:COOL, and ignoring WP:AGF, as well as you are WP:cherrypicking"
- "The fact that you attack me personaly additionally proves that I won the argument, because that's the reason why you attack me personaly - you cannot rebut my proofs, so instead you chose to attack me personaly"\
- " "Consider" means consider according to the rules described in WP:ROWN, and not 'consider' in an arbitrary way."
- "The burden of proof is on those who claim something, so if you claim that the sources are not reliable you have to prove it, if you claim that something I said is incorrect you have to prove it, if you point me to some WP polices, you have to prove that they are indeed relevant to my edits,..."
- " If you will be further personally attacking me by spreading lies about me and falsely accusing me of any wrong doing, or in any other ways, an appropriate action would have to be made via ANI to stop your abusing, disruptive behaviour." (A direct unwarranted threat, where [316] could never be construed as such.)
- "I have never attacked anybody. I am being under attack."
- "I can see now that there is a clique of people here supporting each other regardless of the facts. How pathetic! You should be ashamed of yourselves."
Clearly, there are multiple breaches of policy defying WP:DE and WP:PA: and more. Worse, this extends to other editors: XOR'easter, DVdm, Jordgette, Steve, who also disagree with Musashi miyamoto edits.
Arianewiki1 has further objectively responded to this here.[317] Further reading of response to Arbitrary section break shows no real justification for any of the points above.
Musashi miyamoto also has a history of other personal attacks such as "calling fellow contributors "sadistic perverts" or "dishonest""[318] which they admitted it, whose excuse was "... it was just a way to express how it looks how some editors behave, but it was obviously not a medical diagnosis, so this should not be understood literally but metaphorically." [319]
This continuing general pattern of disruptive behaviour must stop. I've made reasonable attempts to resolve this impasse without success and am only meet with deliberate obfuscation. Arianewiki1 (talk) 07:46, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Arianewiki1 has made this note as a continuation of her/his abusive and disruptive personal attack against me. Arianewiki1 personally attacked me, without any provocation, among others by spreading lies and falsely accusing me of things I did not do, Arianewiki1 did it repetitevly, several times. I repeatedly asked Arianewiki1 to stop his/her abusing and disruptive behaviour and concentrate instead on the task at hand (example: "I once again ask you to behave reasonably, and focus on the issue of proving your POV, if you still disagree with my already proved POV, instead of personally attacking me without any reason."), that is proving her point of view by quoting reliable sources confirming her point of view, but Arianewiki1 ignored all my requests and have not shown even a single source proving her point of view. Instead Arianewiki1 started attacking me personaly and each time Arianewiki1 exacerbated her/his unfounded attacks becoming more aggressive each time, what proves among others that Arianewiki1 is not WP:COOL. Arianewiki1 does not listen what her/his opponent in discussion has to say, ignores what has been said or misinterprets what has been said, Arianewiki1 has not being WP:Honest, because Arianewiki1 was filtering out sentences that do not match her/his assumptions (She/he did it even in this ANI notice! All her/his accusations are groundless, and I can show it later).
When I provided 6 reliable sources to support the edit on inertia Arianewiki1 and 2 others said that they oppose it for the reasons explained in WP:FRINGE and WP:PRIMARY and WP:SYN, Arianewiki1 also added WP:Cherrypicking. When after looking at all those polices and finding that they are not relevant in any way to my edit, I asked them all individually, to explain and prove why they invoked those polices, none of them explained that or provided with any evidence despite repeated requests to do so. Thus, they prevent me from making a proper rebuttal, because without knowing why they pointed me to those polices, I cannot say anything apart from that that there was no reason to invoke them. That way, by remaining silent and not explaining or proving their actions, they disrupt a proper process to reach consensus.
As already pointed out to Arianewiki1 "The burden of proof is on those who claim something, so if you claim that the sources are not reliable you have to prove it, if you claim that something I said is incorrect you have to prove it, if you point me to some WP polices, you have to prove that they are indeed relevant to my edits, what's so difficult to understand about that? It is not enough to say that my view is allegedly wrong, you have to prove it that it is wrong, because you claim it that allegedly it is wrong, not me. I presented plenty of proofs that my POV is the correct one, and you just ignored them, and not presented any evidence to the contrary. Therefore I see no reason to abandon my views, because nobody proved that they are wrong."
Arianewiki1 persistently assumes lack of good faith contratry to WP:AGF. I had to remind her that she/he breaks WP:AGF already 5 or more times.
I am very busy, so I cannot reply in full now (it can be days before I can do that). I can give some examples of his/her inappropriate behaviour later, if there still will be a need to do that. In case you would like to see her/his behaviour now, please look at Arianewiki1 actions in this whole thread. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 15:24, 1 February 2018 (UTC)- @Musashi miyamoto:
As already pointed out to Arianewiki1 "The burden of proof is on those who claim something, so if you claim that the sources are not reliable you have to prove it, if you claim that something I said is incorrect you have to prove it
- either you're being sarcastic, or you clearly do not understand how burden of proof works. BytEfLUShTalk 21:58, 1 February 2018 (UTC)- "When a party bearing the burden of proof meets their burden, the burden of proof switches to the other side." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law) I have been saying this all the time. I proved my point of view with evidence (6 reliable sources re: unknown inertia origin), so then the burden of proof switched to my opponents in discussion. They had to prove anything they claimed in reply to my proofs, and they did not. So what are you talking about? Musashi miyamoto (talk) 01:42, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- You did not provide six reliable sources — "Calphysics.org" is not a reliable source. The other references are better, in that they were at least nominally peer-reviewed, but relying on them places undue weight on ideas with little currency in the physics community (note that one of them is a debunking of another; that the Google Scholar citations to Haisch, Rueda and Puthoff (1994) include "Science and the Akashic field", "Quantum shift in the global brain" and a paper claiming that general relativity is inconsistent with the existence of gravitational waves). Arguing that the meaning of inertia has been a question in the philosophy of physics is one thing; spamming us with citations which happen to mention that in order to justify your promotion of McCulloch's fringe theory is completely unwarranted.

- First of all I did apply the rules of burden of proof correctly. You all who opposed my edits failed to provide evidence when the burden of proof was on you. Thus, you disrupted the correct proceedings to achieve consensus. You are not WP:HONEST by ommiting the fact that Calphysics.org only reprinted the Science paper. You knew that, because that information is very clearly printed at the beginning of the reprint. I added this link to Calphysics.org only for your convenience, so that you could read the paper for free and now you repay me for that by using it against me, how dare you really? The same thing was doing Jordgette reagarding paper in arxiv, which was printed in EPL. I assumed that experienced editors would know that if a paper on arxiv is printed that information is usually put there, and you would see it. Yet, you 'conveniently' for your false thesis, ommited that fact, and ignore it further even when pointing it out to Jordgette already three times. So what's wrong with you, people? Why are you doing this, if not to push your POV against WP:HONEST and WP:NPOV?
So all my 6 souces are reliable sources.
I do not understand what you are talking about further, because it was not me who was "Arguing that the meaning of inertia has been a question in the philosophy of physics is one thing" but my opponents, they claimed it to be philosophy, not me. So please do not put in my mouth statments, which are not mine, that is not WP:HONEST. The fact that those notable physicist have been working on the source/origin/cause of inertia has been already stated in the wikipedia article on inertia. I merely wanted to add this to Unsolved problems in physics, because that is an unsolved problem in physics, and I added later 6 reliable sources, which were lacking in the aforementioned chapter in the inertia article. You removed it now from the article without any good reason. You did it probably, because you yourself claimed "Most of the other items point to full articles, where references can be found", so by removing the whole chapter from the inertia article you most likely falsely want to claim now that there was nothing in the wikpedia article on inertia about looking for the source of inertia by notable physicists in Wikipedia article on inertia, to which my edit on inertia on Unsolved problems in physics pointed. The fact that one is debunking another (BTW, this is source no. 4, which I provided) proves my point that the cause/source/origin of inertia is unknown, because none of the hypotheses became a theory proved by experiment. This is mainstream reasearch, because there is no other reasearch on that than this (there are no other hypotheses as to the cause/source/origin of inertia), so what there is, is mainstream, and even if it wasn't there is no reason to remove it, becasue this is notable information with reliable sources, primary, secondary (article in Science) and so on.
What's that supposed to mean: "spamming us with citations which happen to mention that in order to justify your promotion of McCulloch's fringe theory is completely unwarranted.". Please stop falsely accusing me of spamming and promoting something (you violate that way WP:AGF), I do not spam or promote anybody or anything. I quoted this source, because it was the latest source (year 2013) published in a reliable journal (EPL), which said: ""The property known as inertia has never been adequately explained, and has been rather a neglected part of physic.". This way I was proving that this is still on going problem, that we still do not know the cause/source/origin of inertia. But if you do not like that source remove it. 5 others will still be sufficient. Though I think it would be a mistake to remove the most recent paper on this issue. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 03:30, 2 February 2018 (UTC)- Linking to an unreliable site for a copy of a supposedly reliable source is terrible, terrible practice. What you are doing is the physics equivalent of telling people to go to Ray Comfort to get their copies of the Origin of Species. And as for the Inertia article, I removed that section because it's fringe POV-pushing in any article. And as for "This is mainstream reasearch, because there is no other reasearch [sic] on that than this" ... that's not how being "mainstream" works. XOR'easter (talk) 05:52, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- You can always look at the original, so I do not see a problem. Of course I can add the reference directly to the original, if that bothers you, that's not a problem. Anyway, there 6 reliable sources, not only primary but secondary and so on. You say that you removed, inserted by some editors long time ago, entire section in the inertia article "because it's fringe POV-pushing in any article.". I do not understand why you did it. Even if you considered it fringe, which it is not, that was not enough to remove it, especially that you did it without consulting this removal with anyone and removed the entire section of the article. The proper thing to do was to add sources to that section. It was easy to do, because I gathered all the sources required. Just because you consider it fringe does not mean that there is no place for it in wikipedia. There are plenty of fringe science in wikipedia, for example Emdrive. In order for a fringe information to be in wikipedia it has to be notable enough, and its notability is tested by seeing, if there are reliable secondary sources, so even if you considered it fringe, you should not remove it, because there are reliable secondary sources (the article in Science for example). So please do not edit wikipedia, 'as you please' or on a hunch, but only by following wikipedia rules. Please, also note, that someone asked two years ago to expand the section on origins of inertia, so it can be seen that wikipedia users are interested in that subject, and there are no wikipedia rules, which - with the sources that we have - should prevent them from seeing that in this wikipedia article. So I request that you revert your edit, which removed the whole section in the article on inertia, and add there the 6 sources, which I found (put the direct link to Science). Because otherwise you are not improving wikipedia, but quite to the contrary make it worse, and against the rules about fringe information insertion. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Please also note that the fact that in the inertia article on wikipedia are not given and explained now any sources/causes/origin of inertia at all, further proves my point that my edit about inertia on the List of unsolved problems in physics was a correct one, since when there are no explanations in the article on inertia what is the cause/source/orign of inertia, then this question 'What is the cause/source/origin of inertia?' should be on the List of unsolved problems in physics. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 07:17, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- The text I removed from the Inertia article misrepresented the status of fringe ideas, presenting them as not-fringe. Simple as that. XOR'easter (talk) 17:23, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- That's not true, because the chapter says that these are speculative theories: "==Source of inertia; speculative theories==", so why do you say that it presented them as not-fringe? Even if if did present them like that you could have edited it, so that it presented them correctty. You do not improve wikipedia when you remove entire chapter from the article and all information from the article of inertia what is the source of inertia, and at the same time remove the question: "What is the source/cause/origin of inertia?" from the List of unsolved problems in physics. So please, revert your removal and edit it appropriately adding the 7 sources and in any other way you consider appropriate. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 20:36, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

- You did not provide six reliable sources — "Calphysics.org" is not a reliable source. The other references are better, in that they were at least nominally peer-reviewed, but relying on them places undue weight on ideas with little currency in the physics community (note that one of them is a debunking of another; that the Google Scholar citations to Haisch, Rueda and Puthoff (1994) include "Science and the Akashic field", "Quantum shift in the global brain" and a paper claiming that general relativity is inconsistent with the existence of gravitational waves).

- "When a party bearing the burden of proof meets their burden, the burden of proof switches to the other side." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law) I have been saying this all the time. I proved my point of view with evidence (6 reliable sources re: unknown inertia origin), so then the burden of proof switched to my opponents in discussion. They had to prove anything they claimed in reply to my proofs, and they did not. So what are you talking about? Musashi miyamoto (talk) 01:42, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Musashi miyamoto:
- Arianewiki1 has made this note as a continuation of her/his abusive and disruptive personal attack against me. Arianewiki1 personally attacked me, without any provocation, among others by spreading lies and falsely accusing me of things I did not do, Arianewiki1 did it repetitevly, several times. I repeatedly asked Arianewiki1 to stop his/her abusing and disruptive behaviour and concentrate instead on the task at hand (example: "I once again ask you to behave reasonably, and focus on the issue of proving your POV, if you still disagree with my already proved POV, instead of personally attacking me without any reason."), that is proving her point of view by quoting reliable sources confirming her point of view, but Arianewiki1 ignored all my requests and have not shown even a single source proving her point of view. Instead Arianewiki1 started attacking me personaly and each time Arianewiki1 exacerbated her/his unfounded attacks becoming more aggressive each time, what proves among others that Arianewiki1 is not WP:COOL. Arianewiki1 does not listen what her/his opponent in discussion has to say, ignores what has been said or misinterprets what has been said, Arianewiki1 has not being WP:Honest, because Arianewiki1 was filtering out sentences that do not match her/his assumptions (She/he did it even in this ANI notice! All her/his accusations are groundless, and I can show it later).
- He has also employed supporting techniques like WP:canvassing in a pair of users [320], [321]. That said, he seems to have said sorry several times about it. --MaoGo (talk) 09:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- I did not know about that rule. This rule is counterintuitive, therefore it was impossible to obey it not knowing about it. I expressed my concerns about this rule here. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 15:24, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- I second everything Arianewiki wrote and just wanted to add the additional background / context that Musashi miyamoto is an enthusiastic proponent of the EMDrive (see also Talk:RF_resonant_cavity_thruster/Archive_7), a WP:FRINGE physics thing that, if it existed, would violate the law of conservation of momentum. So his edits at Unsolved Problems amount to arguing that conservation of momentum is not a rock-solid, well-understood law of physics (as is widely believed in mainstream physics), but rather an unsolved problem. Now, don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently wrong with people strongly believing fringe theories. But I definitely think there is something wrong with such people pushing those theories on wikipedia. (Indeed, I myself hold strong non-mainstream fringe beliefs on several topics, but I do not push those beliefs on wikipedia, I use my personal website instead.)
- I don't know that there is a rule against editing topics where you have personal strong non-mainstream beliefs, but there should be; it is the common denominator to all the worst and most frustrating experiences I've had in my years on wikipedia, including notorious cases like David Tombe and Sadi Carnot, both of whom wasted probably thousands of hours of everyone's time (especially mine) before each of them got banned in separate ArbCom cases. Some strong early actions by administrators would have helped immeasurably. --Steve (talk) 15:31, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Please, do not put in my mouth words, which I did not say, this is not WP:HONEST! I am not "enthusiastic proponent of the EMDrive", I am not arguing that "conservation of momentum is not a rock-solid, well-understood law of physics", I do not "strongly believing fringe theories", I am not "pushing those theories on wikipedia". This is all figment of your imagination, in other words it's a lie. How dare you falsely accuse me of things, which I did not say and do not claim?
BTW, why do you say that Emdrive would violate 'conservation of momentum', when there are listed in the wikipedia article on Emdrive a number of hypotheses (which explicitly claim that conservation of momentum is preserved in Emdrive), which if some of them happen to be true, would show that it can work without violating conservation of momentum. To most of researchers, including NASA, Emdrive worked. It remains to be seen if it will be working in space, if it will then it will need further research, if not, that invention most likely will be debunked - it is as simple as that, there is no magic here, only science. Anyway, your remarks not only that are false, they are not relevant to these edits and discussion. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 05:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC) - Wikipedia editing is definitelly broken, because it creates hostile environment or atmosphere for editors who want to improve wikipedia, but who do not have time or stamina to struggle with aggressive and disruptive or abusive editors who push their POV disregaring all the evidence provided and the proper process to achieve consensus, as can be seen in this case. This discourages such editors from editing wikipedia, and as the result quality of wikipedia suffers. Such disruptive wikipedia editors use tactics like remaining silent, i.e. not replying to evidence and arguments which successfully rebuted their POV. Jordgette leads the way in this tactic by not replying to any of my replies successfully debunking her untrue statements, even when I explicitly asked her to reply. If this tactic would be cosidered sufficient to achieve consensus, then it would paralyse any editing when any group of colluded people could block any edit simply by expressing their opposition at the beginning of the talk and then remaining silent when the evidence is provided to rebut their POV or by only stating links to policies without providing any reasons and evidence why they do so.
Therefore in my opinion admins should ensure that a proper process of reaching consensus is carried out by following proper rules of burden of proof: "When a party bearing the burden of proof meets their burden, the burden of proof switches to the other side." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law) That's what many editors (nearly all opposing editors in this case) avoid, i.e. when their opponent provides evidence they do not provide any evidence for their counterclaims, and by that way they disrupt the proper process of burden of proof and therefore they disrupt the proper process of reaching consensus.
Another tactic, which just has been used by Arianewiki1 is closing the discussion on the article talk page without allowing her opponent to reply to her edits on the article talk page (made only recently), that way she tries to prevent any discussion at all to reach consensus, she single-handedly decided to close the discussion, thus disrupting the proper proces of burden of proof and reaching consensus, she did it against WP:NPOV, WP:HONEST and so on.
Also admins should ensure that there are not formed any cliques here. Some editors know each other, some others are grateful to other editors for their support, which they received from them in the past, and as a form a gratitude they support them in any future discussions, even if that support is objectively unwarranted - such behaviour is against WP:HONEST but it happens, probably also here, because some editors just claim multiple times that they agree with another editor without showing their own reasonable reasons why. Admins should also ensure that this does not create wolf pack behaviours or witch hunt, when one editor attacks (even personally) another editor without any good reasons, and all other editors who know that editor or who support that editor for wrong reasons or who just feel the need to follow the wolf pack behaviour (or in that case more like sheeps behaviour) attack that user en-masse without any good reasons (not providing with any evidence supporting their attack). Admins should also ensure that editors do not use multiple accounts, i.e. when one editor is falsely claiming to be many different editors. I kindly request to check if that is not the case here.

- Musashi miyamoto has succeeded in burying what might in principle be legitimate points to include in an article under a farrago of fringe POV-pushing and repeated misuse of sources. Whether it is intentional or not I don't know, but they exhibit an inability to tell in practice what a secondary source is. Their first additions to the article raised a few red flags for me: among other problems, they gave undue weight to a paper that attracted no attention from anyone but the original writer and his co-author. Moreover, their additions put Bernard Haisch on a level with Einstein. Later, they added a source to "support" their statements about quantum physics, a source which does not say what they say it says. Then they proposed a version which managed to be even worse, adding Harold E. Puthoff to the roster of "notable physicists", using a blog post and a fringe website as sources, and citing different copies of the same paper as different sources. This seems to be something of a habit: later, amid an undistinguished list of "more sources", they included a second copy of the same story they'd already linked to. XOR'easter (talk) 18:36, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- If you considered that in principle these were legitimate points then you could have helped to edit the proposed edits, so that they would remain in the article. Your 'diagnosis' that it was allegedly my fault that they are not there is incorrect. I proved above and on the article talk page that other editors did not follow the proper procedure to achieve consensus, they disrupted the proper process of burden of proof and therefore they disrupted the proper process of reaching consensus. You also are incorrect about citations. As to the paper in EPL, I explained several times, that I added it first, because that was the most recently published (year 2013) paper that I could find that explicity said that "The property known as inertia has never been adequately explained, and has been rather a neglected part of physic.". This way I was proving that this is still an on going problem, that we still do not know the cause/source/origin of inertia, despite decades of reaserch on the subject and several different hypotheses published. I did not put "Bernard Haisch on a level with Einstein", someone else did put all those physicists in one sentence, because I copied that sentence from the chapter "Source of inertia; speculative theories" in Wikipedia article on Inertia (so I naturally assumed that if it is already in Wikipedia then there was consensus achieved about that). If you disagreed with that you could have proposed different text of that edit - that is what talking on the article talk page is for, but you didn't propose how to amend that edit, so why do you complain about that now? Besides, if Bernard Haisch has an article about him in wikipedia that means that he is a notable physicist (otherwise there would be no article on him in Wikipedia). It is written in his article on Wikipedia: "He has developed with Alfonso Rueda a speculative theory that the non-zero lowest energy state of the vacuum, as predicted by quantum mechanics, might provide a physical explanation for the origin of inertia, and might someday be used for spacecraft propulsion." The same with Harold E. Puthoff. He is a notable physicist, if he has his wikipedia article. I added him to the list because of that and because he was one of the co-authors of the paper with Bernard Haisch, which I added as one of the sources. BTW, I have just found the 7th source where Haish and Puthoff published together on the origin of inertia: "Recent work implies that the ZPF may play an even more significant role as the source of inertia and gravitation of matter.". However, if you had any objection of adding them to that sentence you could have amended that sentence or propose how to amend it, but you didn't. Regarding double slit paper, although they did not state in explicitly one can figure out that from their paper. I'm not sure why you say this: "using a blog post and a fringe website as sources". I assume that you point out to that sentence: "Also, Prof Jose Perez-Diaz, who came to see me last year for a few months, and I enjoyed our many discussions. He is now trying to detect QI/MiHsC using a LEMdrive arrangement." found here. I added this link only after Arianewiki1 demanded source for this part of the sentence: "is pending experimental confirmation". That was unimportant part of the edit, and could have been removed, but since there is a reliable source I added that source. I am sure you have no doubt that blog of a scientist who is collaborating with the scientist in question is a reliable source of that information. Where else such information what scientists currently do could be found if not on their blogs? You said: "citing different copies of the same paper as different sources". That's not true, I did not cite different copies of the same paper as different sources. I added a link to arxive, but when people didn't see (or pretended that they do not see, because it is hard to believe that experienced editors would not know that) that the paper has been published in EPL, then I added link to EPL and left the original link to arxiv so that people could still have free access to that paper. That was obvious. But if you had any objections you should have expressed them on the article talk page, and suggest what would be an appropriate action regarding this in your view, but you didn't. Regarding another copy of the New Scientists article I did not notice when I was talking with you that the other copy was the same article, because it had different date, different cited text, and completelly different view. However, I did not insert that citation in the article edit, but only in discussion with you. I discuss quickly , because I have very little free time, but when I would be adding sources to the edit in wikipedia article I would double check them and therefore I would not put another source for the same article if both are either free or both are behind paywall - that would obviously make no sense to put them both in such case. Anyway, you had your chance to contribute effectively on the article talk page to make these edits better, but you didn't, that's a pity, but you still can propose your version of those edits. I encourage you to do so, if you consider, as you said above that 'in principle these were legitimate points'. Thank you. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 16:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- "Regarding another copy of the New Scientists article I did not notice when I was talking with you that the other copy was the same article, because it had different date, different cited text, and completelly different view." So, you didn't read it. And you are simply incorrect when you say they have different dates. Both are dated 7 April 2010 [322][323]. "I am sure you have no doubt that blog of a scientist who is collaborating with the scientist in question is a reliable source of that information." No, it isn't. "Besides, if Bernard Haisch has an article about him in wikipedia that means that he is a notable physicist (otherwise there would be no article on him in Wikipedia) ... He is a notable physicist, if he has his wikipedia article." This is shameless equivocation between the jargon sense of "notability" on Wikipedia and what the phrase "notable physicist" would mean to the reader of an encyclopedia article. XOR'easter (talk) 17:08, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I read what was available. There is a different date on the Science Direct: "Available online 9 April 2010.". Also titles are different. I did not notice that there is yet another date there, because I am reminding that I discussed quickly with you there and I wrote from memory here about those differences. I have rebuted all your accusations, so it is not significant that I missed one date - that's nothing comparing to the number of unfounded accusations you thrown at me, which have been rebutted. You're not being WP:HONEST ignoring that fact.
"No, it isn't." Please explain why, and please explain what can be the source of such information then.
That is only you opinion about notability, not supported in any way, but OK, if you did not like that Haish was in one sentence with Einstein, even though that information was in that article for ages, you could have edited it in such a way that you would like it. Removal of the whole chapter did not improve wikipedia. Because of your removal Wikipedia users will not have now any information in the inertia article what are the sources of inertia. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 21:14, 2 February 2018 (UTC)- "I read what was available." No, you didn't even do that, because ScienceDirect gives the date of original publication, 7 April 2010, right up top. And not reading the sources you present in support of your argument is scholarly malpractice. As for "that information was in that article for ages" — misinformation can hang around Wikipedia for years, but it's still misinformation. Have you met the Brazilian aardvark? XOR'easter (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- There was another date there and that was the date I saw: "Available online 9 April 2010.". So what, that I made a mistake of not seeing another date when discussing quickly with you? I am only human, so I can make mistakes, but that mistake was completely insignificant. That is only one mistake, and I showed you here and elsewhere that you made many, many more mistakes than me. That was not the only source, that was one of 9 sources for the quasars time dilation problem, and as I said before, I would have reviewed the sources, which I presented in a quick discussion with you, before I would have cited them in the article. The purpose of adding that particular source was to show that there are secondary sources. I do not have to read entire article of secondary source to know that it is a secondary source - what would be the purpose of this? Only the primary sources were important in this case regarding substantive issues, secondary source was needed only to show that that information is notable enough to be in wikipedia. So it was common sense that there was no purpose in reading entire article of that particular secondary source, only to show in a discussion with another editor that there are secondary sources. You are nitpicky (without good reason), because that was the only mistake in that discussion, that I made, so you hang on to that like a lifeline, because all other of your accusations have been rebutted. That is not WP:HONEST and not WP:NPOV approach to the matter, because you should consider the whole picture and not just nit-pick.
There was no misinformation in wikipedia. All these physicists are notable. Of course that Einstein is commonly considered the greatest, so about every other physicist you can say that he does not match Eistein, but if all those other physicist have their entry in wikipedia then they are notable, too. And if you did not like how it was phrased in the wikipedia article (and I remind that it was not my edit) then you could have proposed your version, and not just remove that valid information along with the entire section in wikipedia article without any valid reasons and against wikipedia rules (because you already knew from me the 6 sources, so you could have added them there and edit it approprietly, there was no reason not to do it, and there are several reasons to do it). Musashi miyamoto (talk) 18:57, 3 February 2018 (UTC)- "I do not have to read entire article of secondary source to know that it is a secondary source - what would be the purpose of this?" To know what it says, perhaps? I didn't want to bring this up, but by copying text from Inertiawithout attributing it, you plagiarized; the text you added to your plagiarism (compare previous diff with what I cut out) made it worse by aggravating the fringe POV-pushing and the giving of undue weight to a paper that has had essentially zero impact in the physics community. XOR'easter (talk) 19:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- I knew what it says, it said about Hawkins paper in MNRAS who found no time dilation when looking at light coming from quasars, that was enough to know for the purpose of quick discussion with another editor to show that there are secondary sources.
Articles from wikipedia can be freely copied also in wikipedia, if the source is provided, and there was a link to the original source: Inertia, so I did not plagiarize anything. Later this sentence was modified, so it was not a quote anymore.
All wikipedia polices have been met to add this question "Why is there an absence of a time dilation effect in quasar power spectra?" to Unsolved problems in physics article. There were multiple primary sources from the most prestigious journals: Nature, The Astrophysical Journal and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and several secondary sources including New Scientist. It is hard to find a better tandem than Nature and New Scientist, the former is the best place for science papers, the latter the best place for popular science papers. Nobody criticised Hawkins work on this subject. His work is reliable and has been published in very prestigious journals, as well as discussed by others in popular press, and quoted by other scientists. That is enough for the subject to be in wikipedia, because the primary and secondary sources prove that it is a notable information according to the Wikipedia criteria. So really, going by the book there is no reason whatsoever not to add this edit. You should not edit arbitrary, but by following wikipedia polices, if wikipedia polices are met then there is no reason not to add that edit to the article.
The same with edit regarding the question "What is the cause/source/origin of inertia?". There are 7 sources primary and secondary, and evidence that the most notable physicists in the world were working on this problem and asking that question, so if you edited wikipedia by the book, and not arbitrary, as some of you appear to do, then there is no reason not to add this edit to wikipedia. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- I knew what it says, it said about Hawkins paper in MNRAS who found no time dilation when looking at light coming from quasars, that was enough to know for the purpose of quick discussion with another editor to show that there are secondary sources.
- "I do not have to read entire article of secondary source to know that it is a secondary source - what would be the purpose of this?" To know what it says, perhaps? I didn't want to bring this up, but by copying text from Inertiawithout attributing it, you plagiarized; the text you added to your plagiarism (compare previous diff with what I cut out) made it worse by aggravating the fringe POV-pushing and the giving of undue weight to a paper that has had essentially zero impact in the physics community. XOR'easter (talk) 19:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- There was another date there and that was the date I saw: "Available online 9 April 2010.". So what, that I made a mistake of not seeing another date when discussing quickly with you? I am only human, so I can make mistakes, but that mistake was completely insignificant. That is only one mistake, and I showed you here and elsewhere that you made many, many more mistakes than me. That was not the only source, that was one of 9 sources for the quasars time dilation problem, and as I said before, I would have reviewed the sources, which I presented in a quick discussion with you, before I would have cited them in the article. The purpose of adding that particular source was to show that there are secondary sources. I do not have to read entire article of secondary source to know that it is a secondary source - what would be the purpose of this? Only the primary sources were important in this case regarding substantive issues, secondary source was needed only to show that that information is notable enough to be in wikipedia. So it was common sense that there was no purpose in reading entire article of that particular secondary source, only to show in a discussion with another editor that there are secondary sources. You are nitpicky (without good reason), because that was the only mistake in that discussion, that I made, so you hang on to that like a lifeline, because all other of your accusations have been rebutted. That is not WP:HONEST and not WP:NPOV approach to the matter, because you should consider the whole picture and not just nit-pick.
- "I read what was available." No, you didn't even do that, because ScienceDirect gives the date of original publication, 7 April 2010, right up top. And not reading the sources you present in support of your argument is scholarly malpractice. As for "that information was in that article for ages" — misinformation can hang around Wikipedia for years, but it's still misinformation. Have you met the Brazilian aardvark? XOR'easter (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- I read what was available. There is a different date on the Science Direct: "Available online 9 April 2010.". Also titles are different. I did not notice that there is yet another date there, because I am reminding that I discussed quickly with you there and I wrote from memory here about those differences. I have rebuted all your accusations, so it is not significant that I missed one date - that's nothing comparing to the number of unfounded accusations you thrown at me, which have been rebutted. You're not being WP:HONEST ignoring that fact.
- "Regarding another copy of the New Scientists article I did not notice when I was talking with you that the other copy was the same article, because it had different date, different cited text, and completelly different view." So, you didn't read it. And you are simply incorrect when you say they have different dates. Both are dated 7 April 2010 [322][323]. "I am sure you have no doubt that blog of a scientist who is collaborating with the scientist in question is a reliable source of that information." No, it isn't. "Besides, if Bernard Haisch has an article about him in wikipedia that means that he is a notable physicist (otherwise there would be no article on him in Wikipedia) ... He is a notable physicist, if he has his wikipedia article." This is shameless equivocation between the jargon sense of "notability" on Wikipedia and what the phrase "notable physicist" would mean to the reader of an encyclopedia article. XOR'easter (talk) 17:08, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- If you considered that in principle these were legitimate points then you could have helped to edit the proposed edits, so that they would remain in the article. Your 'diagnosis' that it was allegedly my fault that they are not there is incorrect. I proved above and on the article talk page that other editors did not follow the proper procedure to achieve consensus, they disrupted the proper process of burden of proof and therefore they disrupted the proper process of reaching consensus. You also are incorrect about citations. As to the paper in EPL, I explained several times, that I added it first, because that was the most recently published (year 2013) paper that I could find that explicity said that "The property known as inertia has never been adequately explained, and has been rather a neglected part of physic.". This way I was proving that this is still an on going problem, that we still do not know the cause/source/origin of inertia, despite decades of reaserch on the subject and several different hypotheses published. I did not put "Bernard Haisch on a level with Einstein", someone else did put all those physicists in one sentence, because I copied that sentence from the chapter "Source of inertia; speculative theories" in Wikipedia article on Inertia (so I naturally assumed that if it is already in Wikipedia then there was consensus achieved about that). If you disagreed with that you could have proposed different text of that edit - that is what talking on the article talk page is for, but you didn't propose how to amend that edit, so why do you complain about that now? Besides, if Bernard Haisch has an article about him in wikipedia that means that he is a notable physicist (otherwise there would be no article on him in Wikipedia). It is written in his article on Wikipedia: "He has developed with Alfonso Rueda a speculative theory that the non-zero lowest energy state of the vacuum, as predicted by quantum mechanics, might provide a physical explanation for the origin of inertia, and might someday be used for spacecraft propulsion." The same with Harold E. Puthoff. He is a notable physicist, if he has his wikipedia article. I added him to the list because of that and because he was one of the co-authors of the paper with Bernard Haisch, which I added as one of the sources. BTW, I have just found the 7th source where Haish and Puthoff published together on the origin of inertia: "Recent work implies that the ZPF may play an even more significant role as the source of inertia and gravitation of matter.". However, if you had any objection of adding them to that sentence you could have amended that sentence or propose how to amend it, but you didn't. Regarding double slit paper, although they did not state in explicitly one can figure out that from their paper. I'm not sure why you say this: "using a blog post and a fringe website as sources". I assume that you point out to that sentence: "Also, Prof Jose Perez-Diaz, who came to see me last year for a few months, and I enjoyed our many discussions. He is now trying to detect QI/MiHsC using a LEMdrive arrangement." found here. I added this link only after Arianewiki1 demanded source for this part of the sentence: "is pending experimental confirmation". That was unimportant part of the edit, and could have been removed, but since there is a reliable source I added that source. I am sure you have no doubt that blog of a scientist who is collaborating with the scientist in question is a reliable source of that information. Where else such information what scientists currently do could be found if not on their blogs? You said: "citing different copies of the same paper as different sources". That's not true, I did not cite different copies of the same paper as different sources. I added a link to arxive, but when people didn't see (or pretended that they do not see, because it is hard to believe that experienced editors would not know that) that the paper has been published in EPL, then I added link to EPL and left the original link to arxiv so that people could still have free access to that paper. That was obvious. But if you had any objections you should have expressed them on the article talk page, and suggest what would be an appropriate action regarding this in your view, but you didn't. Regarding another copy of the New Scientists article I did not notice when I was talking with you that the other copy was the same article, because it had different date, different cited text, and completelly different view. However, I did not insert that citation in the article edit, but only in discussion with you. I discuss quickly , because I have very little free time, but when I would be adding sources to the edit in wikipedia article I would double check them and therefore I would not put another source for the same article if both are either free or both are behind paywall - that would obviously make no sense to put them both in such case. Anyway, you had your chance to contribute effectively on the article talk page to make these edits better, but you didn't, that's a pity, but you still can propose your version of those edits. I encourage you to do so, if you consider, as you said above that 'in principle these were legitimate points'. Thank you. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 16:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Musashi miyamoto has succeeded in burying what might in principle be legitimate points to include in an article under a farrago of fringe POV-pushing and repeated misuse of sources. Whether it is intentional or not I don't know, but they exhibit an inability to tell in practice what a secondary source is. Their first additions to the article raised a few red flags for me: among other problems, they gave undue weight to a paper that attracted no attention from anyone but the original writer and his co-author. Moreover, their additions put Bernard Haisch on a level with Einstein. Later, they added a source to "support" their statements about quantum physics, a source which does not say what they say it says. Then they proposed a version which managed to be even worse, adding Harold E. Puthoff to the roster of "notable physicists", using a blog post and a fringe website as sources, and citing different copies of the same paper as different sources. This seems to be something of a habit: later, amid an undistinguished list of "more sources", they included a second copy of the same story they'd already linked to. XOR'easter (talk) 18:36, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Musashi miyamoto has now repeatably said (without evidence) in this ANI [324]:
- "
Arianewiki1 has made this note as a continuation of her/his abusive and disruptive personal attack against me.
", - "
Arianewiki1 personally attacked me, without any provocation, among others by spreading lies and falsely accusing me of things I did not do, Arianewiki1 did it repetitevly, several times. I repeatedly asked Arianewiki1 to stop his/her abusing and disruptive behaviour and concentrate instead on the task at hand
" - "
Instead Arianewiki1 started attacking me personaly and each time Arianewiki1 exacerbated her/his unfounded attacks becoming more aggressive each time,...
" - "
Arianewiki1 persistently assumes lack of good faith contratry to WP:AGF. I had to remind her that she/he breaks WP:AGF already 5 or more times.
"

- Musashi miyamoto has now repeatably said (without evidence) in this ANI [324]:
- This is direct evidence of either not understanding the process or avoid scrutiny by using 'accuse the accuser.' The main offense here is just stated as WP:PA of me "...by spreading lies." and "abusing and disruptive behaviour" (all without evidence), which is now done within an ANI, which is probably enough to engage a significant sanction. They did the same tactic to DVm, saying "BTW, this is a lie: "Unsourced content." [325] Anothr is this reply.[326]
- As for " I am very busy, so I cannot reply in full now (it can be days before I can do that). I can give some examples of his/her inappropriate behaviour later, if there still will be a need to do that."[[327]] is simply a tactic to avoid scrutiny.
- Really. How can this edit [328] be construed as Musashi miyamoto 'complaint' [329]? How does saying: [330] be possibly twisted as :
You again lie in your above text in virtually every single sentence,...
? Similiar unfounded arguments by this User is in another ANI here [331] and reading the history on User_talk:Musashi_miyamoto shows a litany of such behaviours.
- Really. How can this edit [328] be construed as Musashi miyamoto 'complaint' [329]? How does saying: [330] be possibly twisted as :
- This whole issue stems from me reverting Musashi miyamoto edits and receiving an Edit warring notice by DVm.[332] User_talk:Musashi_miyamoto said: "And why haven't you send such a warning to Arianewiki1, when he started this reverting, and is continuing to do this without any real reasonable reason whatoever, and does not start a thread on talk page, even though I requested that he do so?"[333]
- This is further evidence of using WP:DE than in improving articles. Arianewiki1 (talk) 00:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- You are again violating WP:AGF and WP:HONEST by saying "is simply a tactic to avoid scrutiny". Arianewiki1, having apparently a lot of free time, has started this notice knowing very well that I would have very little time to defend myself, because I already said that I am very busy twice on the article talk page and here. It passed several days before I was able to engage in the discussion there again, but when I did I replied to everyone as promised (re: inertia) and provided with 6 reliable sources for inertia edit. And now Arianewiki1 perfidiously exploits that fact that I will not be able to reply quickly to defend myself against her false accusations and lies (it takes a lot of time to gather and describe evidence, when it is so extensive as in this case; any advice how to speed it up would be welcome) by falsely accusing me as above. I am very busy until mid of February, and even then I will only have a day free, and I cannot spend all that day only on wikipedia, but neverthelless I will try to reply then to every major accusation showing the evidence of her abusive and disruptive behaviour, if it still will be relevant to do so. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 02:15, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- "Arianewiki1, having apparently a lot of free time" Please stop. This is ANI, not YouTube comments. You are only digging yourself a deeper hole. I urge other editors to resist the urge to defend yourselves or argue points that have been presented any further.

- Consensus on wikipedia is achieved by talking and presenting evidence to support your talk and not by remaining silent. The talk page is called exactly that 'talk page', not 'silent page'. So I am very suprised that you support Jordgette behaviour of remaning silent when your opponent rebuts your POV, instead of criticising such behaviour, because such behaviour goes against how WP:CONSENSUS is achieved on wikipedia. Remaining silent breaks the proper process to achieve consensus, because it breaks the proper process of burden of proof, as showed in more details above. As already mentioned above Jordgette to every my reply where I successfully rebuted her incorrect claims or view simply remained silent. So in my opinion that should be considered that she silently approves my POV, by so to speak 'walkover'. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 12:29, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- "So in my opinion that should be considered that she silently approves my POV" That is not how discussions work. When people give up hope of communicating with you, that does not mean they agree with you. And since it is evident that you are not even reading the sources you are spamming us with, while also ignoring replies made to you (or pretending they never happened), it is reasonable to conclude that the conversation is a lost cause. XOR'easter (talk) 16:56, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

I followed the proper procedure to achieve consensus, but my opponents didn't (they among others ignored the proper process of burden of proof, as explained in more details above). So what are you talking about? I am not spamming anybody, I read sources, and do not ignore replies - I am in fact the only person in those discussions replying to all replies of my opponents in the discussion, unlike some other editors, like Jordgette, who does not reply to any of my replies to her. So why do you falsely accuse me that it is allegedly me who is not communicating when it is them who do not communicate, they do not listen what I say, they ignore what I said, and they ignore the proper procedures to achieve consensus.

When saying "..I read sources, and do not ignore replies - I am in fact the only person in those discussions replying to all replies of my opponents in the discussion,..." Actually Musashi miyamoto, you don't have to reply. All you are doing is needlessly perpetuate the argument. As for saying
I already why 'remaining silent' cannot be considered favourable for the person remaining silent.
and "Consensus on wikipedia is achieved by talking and presenting evidence to support your talk and not by remaining silent." (Both your words) is absolutle wrong. There is no obligation to reply at all, and Listen even says:The community's rejection of your idea is not proof that they have failed to hear you.
- I'd suggest you read Therapy - Wikipedia is not therapy, which says:
Nevertheless, editors who engage in disruptive or antisocial behavior may be blocked or banned. Except in extreme cases, editors are not blocked before problems have been patiently discussed. However, if disruptive behavior is not controlled, ultimately the community will protect the encyclopedia by restricting the editor's participation in the project.
Heed that advice and stop blaming everyone else here. - Also Listen says:
Such behavior is disruptive to Wikipedia. Believing that you have a valid point does not confer upon you the right to act as though your point must be accepted by the community when you have been told that it is not accepted.
The community's rejection of your idea is not proof that they have failed to hear you.
If the community spends more time cleaning up editors' mistakes and educating them about policies and guidelines than it considers necessary, sanctions may have to be imposed.
- Making undue statements against policies and guidelines is inherently unwise, especially within an ANI. Arianewiki1 (talk) 00:22, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- I have no problem at all in accepting another point of view, if that point of view has been supported with evidence and has not been rebutted, and that's where you failed, because you have not quoted any sources in support of your views, so why do you want me to believe you on your word without any evidence, when the evidence I presented prove to the contrary. If you reach consensus by simply pushing collectivly your POV without presenting any evidence and disregarding the proper burden of proof procedure then you are ignoring also the correct WP:Consensus procedure, and that way it becomes a grotesque and what you do now looks like a witch hunt.

Urgent Request to any uninvolved administrator in this ANI. Kindly please kindly affect an " Administrator note" against the new unnecessary PA and DE abuse appearing within an ANI by Musashi miyamoto, so that the substance of the complaint can be properly addressed. If the guidelines for arbitration have not been meet, could it be explained why, then close this ANI.

Thank you for any further assistance in helping to conclude this matter. Arianewiki1 (talk) 01:03, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- Agree. This goes beyond disruptive editing where one editor keeps typing and typing the same non-points from the talk page, now on ANI, and now berating individual editors who refuse to continue to feed him attention. Wikipedia isn't for everyone — some editors simply create far more disruption and noise than productivity, and I hope and wish the admins' decision will acknowledge this. -Jordgette[talk] 02:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- Admins are too experienced to fall for such provocation and false accusations. The discussion on the talk pages and here will show to them that I have not done anything wrong. I followed the correct procedure to reach consensus and burden of proof, and my opponents did not. They are, as can be seen here, aggravated that I remind them that they did not follow wikipedia polices, because that shows that they were disruptive, not me. There is nothing wrong with reminding wikipedia editors that they do not follow wikipedia polices, that is not a disruption, the disruption is to not follow wikipedia polices, and to falsely accuse another fellow wikipedia editor, as they did against me. Arianewiki1 who started this ANI has not shown a single source to support her POV, while I presented 7 reliable sources (6 back then and 1 new now, as shown in the discussion above) to support my POV reagarding edit about the cause of inertia. I asked them multiple times on the article talk page to give me reasons why after providing them with all that evidence they still do not agree with the edit, and they remained silent not explaining or proving why they pointed me to the polices, which had no relevance to my edit, thus they did not follow the correct burden of proof procedure: "When a party bearing the burden of proof meets their burden, the burden of proof switches to the other side." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law)
I kindly request to close this ANI. I am not going to edit wikipedia anytime soon, because of that hostile, unfriendly environment, which unreasonable editors who do not follow wikpedia polices create here on wikipedia. As the result wikipedia quality will suffer, because I wanted to improve wikipedia and I cannot because of those few unreasonable editors who do not obey proper procedures to achieve consensus.
I kindly request that admins look at their behaviour and work out some remedies, so that such disruptive behaviour as theirs would not occur again. I suggested to administrators what they could focus on to improve wikipedia editing, I hope that administrators would find those suggestions useful in their work.

- This edit by Musashi miyamoto[334]:
Another tactic, which by Arianewiki1 is closing the discussion on the article talk page without allowing her opponent to reply to her edits on the article talk page (made only recently), that way she tries to prevent any discussion at all to reach consensus, she single-handedly decided to close the discussion, thus disrupting the proper proces of burden of proof and reaching consensus, she did it against WP:NPOV, WP:HONEST and so on.
- All I did was made an open statement[335]. You can argue with whoever you want, even argue yourself if need be. I've closed no discussion here, but this can't go on forever.
- Importantly you already do not have consensus, so your own points are mute. For me, the biggest issue quandary of complete denial of the facts. e.g. Saying
I followed the correct procedure to reach consensus and, and my opponents did not.
Fact: Consensus says your assertions are unconvincing. Added them to the article if you wish, but they will be reverted solely on the fact you don't have consensus. Test this with an WP:RfC, which IS the remedy, as I've already told you.[336]Onus of prove is Musashi miyamoto alone, as they are the one making the contention. If Mm disagrees, well this should be tested with WP:Requests for comment or RfC, under WP:Requests for comment/Maths, science, and technology. (So far, it is now 5 to 1 that disagrees with Mm.)
I'd use caution, though, as an WP:ARBPS in effect. - As for the
"When a party bearing the burden of proof meets their burden, the burden of proof switches to the other side." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law)
Bur Wikipedia guidelines even don't say that. Black and whiteYou demand that other editors search for sources to support text that you added, or you challenge them to find a source that disproves your unsourced claim. Wikipedia policy is quite clear here: the responsibility for sourcing content rests firmly and entirely with the editor seeking to include it.
This means yu because you want to include it. No one else. Editing obviously does not follow common law (nor common law in the United States). Don't you get that? (rhetorical) - Also
Arianewiki1 who started this ANI has not shown a single source to support her POV, while I presented 7 reliable sources
But Arianewiki1 has.[337] Statement therefore is not true. - Please stop unnecessarily escalating these arguments and going every time for 'the last word', because this now becoming borderline Hounding and WP:HA. Politely, Desist means desist, but you just don't get the hint. She now asks you do so. Arianewiki1 (talk) 02:13, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- WP:Consensus policy is quite clear how to achieve consensus, but you ignore what the policy says: "Consensus-building involves adapting the proposal to bring in dissenters without losing those who accepted the initial proposal". "Limit article talk page discussions to discussion of sources, article focus, and policy.". "Consensus is determined by the quality of arguments (not by a simple counted majority).". "In determining consensus, consider the quality of the arguments, the history of how they came about, the objections of those who disagree, and existing policies and guidelines. The quality of an argument is more important than whether it represents a minority or a majority view. The arguments "I just don't like it" and "I just like it" usually carry no weight whatsoever.". "Editors try to persuade others, using reasons based in policy, sources, and common sense; they can also suggest alternative solutions or compromises that may satisfy all concerns.". "No one, no matter how skilled, or how high-standing in the community, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular page." WP:OWN. "Policies and guidelines should always be applied using reason and common sense." WP:PG
The policy does not have to explain how burden of proof works, because that is explained in the burden of proof article: "When a party bearing the burden of proof meets their burden, the burden of proof switches to the other side." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law). It is obvious really, so I have been shocked to learn that some of you do not know how burden of proof works! The policy clearly states that 'The quality of an argument is more important than whether it represents a minority or a majority view'. I have proved my point of view with 7 reliable sources for the source of inertia edit, and 8 reliable sources for the quasars time dilation edit. So according to wikipedia polices, you should have accepted that edit. You didn't, against wikipedia polices, without presenting any quality arguments - quality of your arguments was virtually non-existent, because you have not provided any sources to support your arguments (against wikipedia polices which first and foremost require sources). Your arguments were also not relevant to the issue, it was quite apparent that you had troubles understanding what the issue is about, even though your favourite physcists Bernard Haish clearly stated in his paper: "Inertia as formulated by Galileo (ca. 1638) was simply the property of a material object to either remain at rest or in uniform motion in the absence of external forces. In his first law of motion, Newton (ca. 1687) merely restated the Galilean proposition. However, in his second law, Newton expanded the concept of inertia into a fundamental quantitative property of matter. By proposing a relationship between external force acting upon an object and change in that object's velocity (F=ma), he defined and quantified the property of inertial mass. Since the time of Newton there has been only one noteworthy attempt to associate an underlying origin of inertia of an object with something external to that object: Mach's principle."
So Newton defined and quantified the property of inertial mass by postulating F=ma, but by doing so he did not discover the origin of inertia, which remains unknown, but you simply refuse to accept it, even though the paper clearly states that - for you the definition of inertial mass is the same as origin of inertia. Sorry, but the 7 reliable sources I quoted do not confirm your unfounded assumption.
If you really followed the policies you could have proposed a compromise (the policy explicitly encourages to do so). For example you could have said: "OK, your sources confirm your point of view, but my sources (and you should quote reliable soures) say that some people (who?) believe that we should stick to the XVII century theory of Galileo and Newton, which states that 'Inertia is simply the property of a material object', and therefore we do not need to seek cause, origin, source of inertia". The sources which you would quote would have to, in an unambiguous way, state exactly that, that we do not need to look for the cause, origin, source of inertia, because it is enough to assume that inertia is just a property of matter. Then to my edit could have been added your XVII century version, and everyone would be happy, compromise and consensus would have been reached, because both points of view would be in the edit the current one from XX and XXI century and the old one from XVII century. But no, all you had to say was (in a way): I just do not agree, get lost, desist - that is not how you reach wikipedia consensus. The policy explicitly states that you should not just say "I just don't like it" (because that is how your 'arguments' without sources can be interpreted, such arguments bear little or no weight), but provide with sources to support your argument, and you did not do it. You now claim that you allegedly provided a source. That's a blatant lie, there is no source provided in the link you gave to support your argument.
You have to remember that consensus is not reached by voting and wikipedia editors are not experts, so you can't 'win' the argument by carrying out a philosophical academic debate, nor by saying 'I do not agree', nor 'I agree' (when supporting another unfounded claim), wikipedia policy clearly states that you should "try to persuade others, using reasons based in policy, sources, and common sense". So the only way for you to prove your point of view in this case is to quote reliable sources, which in an unambigous way for every wikipedia editor (i.e. by default a non-expert wikipedia editor) would show that the origin of inertia has been found and that there is a mainstream theory about that confirmed by experiments, or, as a compromise, as proposed above, that some people claim, that we do not need to look for the cause, origin, source of inertia, because it is enough to assume that inertia is just a property of matter. That's how it should be done by the book, but you ignore what 'the book' says, and just push your POV against the evidence I provided (the sources).
So this is how achiving consensus should look like:
A.
1. Editor1 provides edit with reliable sources meeting the burden of proof, therefore the burden of proof switches to the other side;
2. Other editors disagree with the edit providing arguments supported with reliable sources for their arguments (burden of proof switches back to Editor1), or they may partially agree and suggest a compromise,
3. Editor1 either is convinced by the new arguments and/or compromise and consensus is reached or is rebutting the arguments of his/her opponents and the burden of proof switches back to the opponents - this cycle repeats itself until using logical reasoning and evidence presented by both sides a consensus or compromise is reached.
And this is how Arianewiki1 sees reaching the consensus:
B.
1. Editor1 provides edit with reliable sources meeting the burden of proof, therefore the burden of proof switches to the other side, but other editors disregard that fundamental common sense rule and basic fact;
2. Other editors disagree with the edit, do not provide any sources to support their arguments, and if Editor1 points that out to them they only say (in a way) get lost, desist, we are the majority, we reached the consensus without you.
The procedure shown in point no A. follows wikipedia polices, the one in point no. B does not.
You say "All I did was made an open statement. You can argue with whoever you want, even argue yourself if need be. I've closed no discussion here". But your statement stated: "The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion." So it is contradictory to what you say now. You explicitly said that this discussion is closed; if it was not - then you should have stated it there and not mislead by such statements.
You say "Test this with an WP:RfC". You gave me no chance to do it, because you are bombarding me with false accusations and lies, and open ANI, so all little free time I have I have to spend rebutting your false accusations and lies (and even for that there is not enough time), that's why I was not able to do anything else, because of unreasonable editors who disregard wikipedia polices, including the policy saying that in all cases you should stay WP:COOL and "Shower them with love". You already apologised for your actions: "Note: Apologies for 'shouting' but I do it to be implicit to finally deal with this unreasonable editor." (source: Arianewiki1 entry on the article talk page on 04:46, 24 January 2018), so that proves that you were conscious that you were not following the above mentioned polices and more, and yet you continued to break them by exacerbating subsequently your attack even further, and all that just because you disagreed with my edit.
That is not true: "(So far, it is now 5 to 1 that disagrees with Mm.)" You 'forget' about Paradoctor - if he/she agreed for the edit of inertia with one source, then it is reasonable to assume that he/she would still agree for this edit with 7 sources. Besides consensus is not achieved by voting, but by presenting quality arguments supported with reliable, relevant sources - that is what the policy says - so far only I provided quality arguments, supported with reliable, relevant sources, nobody else did that regarding the two edits mentioned above.
That is a blatant lie: "You demand that other editors search for sources to support text that you added, or you challenge them to find a source that disproves your unsourced claim." I have never demanded such things! Please, stop your habit of lying in nearly every of your edit, that is not WP:HONEST. I only requested that you prove you own arguments, not mine, as per the burden of proof procedure. "Policies and guidelines should always be applied using reason and common sense." WP:PG. It is a common sense to follow the consensus procedure as shown in the point no. A, and not B., that includes switching the burden of proof procedure - it is not just a law - it is common sense. What sense would have a discussion when one side only provides proofs, and the other side, which disagrees with those proofs does not, and just says: 'I disagree, therefore I won, and I don't have to prove anything to you, just get lost, desist.' That does not make any sense, but you say that it does, that is preposterous, really.
You say "Please stop unnecessarily escalating these arguments and going every time for 'the last word'" - but that is not me who is escalating, but you. I perfectly understand why you ask for desist - you hope that when I desist, that way your false accusations and lies against me would not be rebutted, but I have the right to defend myself against your false accusations and lies. If you do want me not to reply please stop lying and falsely accusing me of things I did not do or say, then I would be more than happy to not reply, because there would be no reason to. I politely asked you again to stop such behaviour, but you lied and falsely accused me even in this message, to which I am replying now, as shown above. BTW, just curious: You say: "She now asks you do so" - why do you say about yourself in third person?
Concluding:
All wikipedia polices have been met to add this question "Why is there an absence of a time dilation effect in quasar power spectra?" to Unsolved problems in physics article. There were multiple primary sources from the most prestigious journals: Nature, The Astrophysical Journal and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and several secondary sources including New Scientist, in total 8 sources. It is hard to find a better tandem than Nature and New Scientist, the former is the best place for science papers, the latter the best place for popular science papers. Nobody criticised Hawkins work on this subject. His work is reliable and has been published in very prestigious journals, as well as discussed by others in popular press, and quoted by other scientists. That is enough for the subject to be in wikipedia, because the primary and secondary sources prove that it is a notable information according to the Wikipedia criteria. So really, going by the book there is no reason whatsoever not to add this edit. You should not edit arbitrary, but by following wikipedia polices, if wikipedia polices are met then there is no reason not to add that edit to the article. Do we agree on that or not, if not, for what reasons?
The same with edit regarding the question "What is the cause/source/origin of inertia?". There are 7 sources primary and secondary, and evidence that the most notable physicists in the world were working on this problem and asking that question, so if you edited wikipedia by the book, and not arbitrary, as some of you appear to do, then there is no reason not to add this edit to wikipedia.

- The admins do take everything into consideration. Including people who didn't read everything, but they might consider that when weighing the arguments. As for appealing the verdict, it really depends on what they do to you. If they decide to block you, that can be appealed on your talk page. If it is a topic ban, there's really not much you can do except wait until you can appeal, because some topic bans have a limit on how many times you can appeal. And the analogy wasn't meant to be accurate per se, but I can see how a lot of editors might use something similar and cry foul. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 03:52, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- We were talking here about the source of inertia edit and quasars time dilation problem edit.

- I did discuss the quasar time dilation problem. That was the point of the reference I provided, which set Hawkins' work in a broader context, just like a secondary source should. I could hit the library and find citations which say what I said about inertia (and hey, I might find fun things in the process [341]), but since you do not read either the references I provide or the ones you yourself bombard us with, what's the point? XOR'easter (talk) 22:52, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- The reference you are linking does not explicitly mention time dilation anomaly in quasar spectra, but the fact that it cites papers speculating that there can be many causes of the variations show that the cause for those variations is still not certain and therefore unknown, thus it further proves that the edit was done correctly. What you said about inertia does not disprove what I proved. But you could try to achieve the compromise about which I was talking about in the long text above written at 19:28, 4 February 2018. But apparently you are not interested, even though wikipedia policy explicitly encourages to achieve such compromise. Baez essay would be a good source for me to additionaly prove that the source of inertia is still unknown, unfortunately it has not been published in any peer-reviewed paper, so it is not a reliable source, besides McCulloch was rebutting this. I read sources, but it seems that you have not read mine. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 01:58, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

URGENT HELP REQUEST @EdJohnston:@Huon:@Blackmane:@Swarm:@BytEfLUSh:
Arianewiki1 says (in quoting Musashi miyamoto): "As for the "When a party bearing the burden of proof meets their burden, the burden of proof switches to the other side." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law)
Bur Wikipedia guidelines even don't say that. Black and white You demand that other editors search for sources to support text that you added, or you challenge them to find a source that disproves your unsourced claim. Wikipedia policy is quite clear here: the responsibility for sourcing content rests firmly and entirely with the editor seeking to include it.
This means yu because you want to include it. No one else. Editing obviously does not follow common law (nor common law in the United States). Don't you get that? (rhetorical)"
Musashi miyamoto says: " That is a blatant lie: "You demand that other editors search for sources to support text that you added, or you challenge them to find a source that disproves your unsourced claim." I have never demanded such things! Please, stop your habit of lying in nearly every of your edit, that is not WP:HONEST."
Guidelines here say [342] "You demand that other editors search for sources to support text that you added, or you challenge them to find a source that disproves your unsourced claim. Wikipedia policy is quite clear here: the responsibility for sourcing content rests firmly and entirely with the editor seeking to include it."
Lying? How? Arianewiki1 already pointed this out here [343] This is clearly evidence of just another unprovoked PA = personal attack!!
This ANI here is only about Musashi miyamoto and their continued use of WP:PA and WP:DE against policy.
Yet Musashi miyamoto only counter is "...I would gladly do that, if you all abandon this ANI..." and "...(if you all agree not to attack me here anymore)." Nothing is my previous comment above (02:13, 4 February 2018 (UTC)) cannot be said to be an 'attack.'
I have asked Musashi miyamoto now on multiple occasions to politely, Desist means desist." Yet Musashi miyamoto comes back with 2,274 response just full of accusations and still expects Having said that I would still be grateful if some of you would unambigously prove to me, which of my reasoning is allegedly incorrect and why in my long text above of 19:28, 4 February 2018.
.
Musashi miyamoto is evidently now Hounding and WP:HA (and all in an ANI !!). Reading WP:NAM clearly shows Musashi miyamoto is just continuing ramping the escalation.
This has to end. Please advise.
Note: The initial ANI claims: "This continuing general pattern of disruptive behaviour must stop. I've made reasonable attempts to resolve this impasse without success and am only meet with deliberate obfuscation." [@ 07:46, 1 February 2018 (UTC)]
Arianewiki1 (talk) 02:39, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Added comment: In the 2,274 word response by Musashi miyamoto, I've been accused of to 'lie' have 'lied' ten times, "falsely accussed" four times, and "lied and falsely accused me even in this message".
- Musashi miyamoto also say: "That's a blatant lie, there is no source provided in the link you gave to support your argument." and that "Arianewiki1 who started this ANI has not shown a single source to support her POV, while I presented 7 reliable sources." Isn't this link a source? I point out a source making the second statement therefore false, but now it is an alleged lie? Arianewiki1 (talk) 04:05, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I agreed to the Arianewiki1 proposal, yet she/he (I will later write only 'she', because Ariane is a female name, and the text looks ugly and less clear when I repeatedly write 'he/she' or 'her/his'; but 'she' or 'her' regarding her/him should be regarded as 'he/she' and 'her/his' in these texts) continues to groundlesly attack me with false accusations, and she repeats her untrue statements not showing any convincing evidence to support them. So why does she do that? It would seem that since I agreed to her proposal she would have no reason to, but since she continues that, that means that she does that for non-substantive reasons. It appears that it is a provocation, she knows that I would be rebutting her untrue accusations, and she hopes that some admins would not look at the evidence, but judge only on her word.
Please note that when she falsely accuses me she either does not give any evidence to support her claim or gives a link, that does not prove what she says, apparently hoping that other people would not look into that link and fall for her false accusations and lies. So please do not fall for that trick of her. Check out the links she provides. For example she already several times stated this blatant lie: "You demand that other editors search for sources to support text that you added, or you challenge them to find a source that disproves your unsourced claim." when I have never demanded such things. She does not present any evidence to support her claim, because she cannot, as I never, ever demanded such things. Then she gives above a link no. 89 to her own rant, which only proves that she is not WP:COOL, and has been accusing falsely from the start. Previously, when I pointed out that she has not shown a single source to support her POV, she gave a link no. 83 where there is no link supporting her POV (her POV is that F=ma explains inertia, and therefeore there is no need to look for the source of inertia), so she lied that she provided with a link supporitng her POV.
Then she says that falsely accusing me and lying about what I said or did is not a personal attack, well it is, so please stop attacking me. And then she in effect denies me the right to defend myself against her false accusations and lies. I proved, among others in my message above sent at 19:28, 4 February 2018 that I have not done anything wrong, I followed to the letter all wikipedia polices, when making those recent edits we talk about. Yet, she ignores that.
Regarding the burden of proof I shown in my message sent at 19:28, 4 February 2018 that this is the correct procedure by wikipedia polices.
I kindly request that admins do something to stop Arianewiki1 of falsely accusing her/his fellow editor and habitually lying, she wastes mine and others time by doing so, her behaviour is unfounded and disruptive. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 12:54, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I agreed to the Arianewiki1 proposal, yet she/he (I will later write only 'she', because Ariane is a female name, and the text looks ugly and less clear when I repeatedly write 'he/she' or 'her/his'; but 'she' or 'her' regarding her/him should be regarded as 'he/she' and 'her/his' in these texts) continues to groundlesly attack me with false accusations, and she repeats her untrue statements not showing any convincing evidence to support them. So why does she do that? It would seem that since I agreed to her proposal she would have no reason to, but since she continues that, that means that she does that for non-substantive reasons. It appears that it is a provocation, she knows that I would be rebutting her untrue accusations, and she hopes that some admins would not look at the evidence, but judge only on her word.
Proposal
Musashi miyamoto (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is subject to the following discretionary sanction under WP:ARBPS: a one year topic ban from topics considered to be fringe science, broadly construed. Musashi miyamoto is also reminded to assume good faith and not personalise disputes.
- Guy's opinion and proposal cannot be taken into account, because he has a personal grudge against me, since the time when I showed that he broke wikipedia polices, therefore his impartiality and objectivity in this case may be questioned, and for that reason he should be excluded (or exclude himself) from these proceedings and remove his proposal.
Besides, he has given no reasons for his proposal (I have not been even editing any fringe science topics now, so why does he propose that?). He must have confused me with Arianewiki1 when saying "reminded to assume good faith and not personalise disputes", because it is Arianewiki1 who persistently does not assume good faith (I had to remind her about WP:AGF policy 6 or more times in this discussion), and Arianewiki1 personalises disputes by attacking me personally with false accusations and lies, instead of focusing on proving her POV using reasons based in policy, sources, and common sense. I only defended myself by rebutting false accusations by presenting what are the facts and showing evidence where appropriate. How else I should defend myself against false accusations if not like that? Also, I said that I am not going to participate in wikipedia editing anymore in a foreseeable future due to the unfriendly and hostile environment created by editors who do not obey wikipedia polices, so what would be the purpopse of such a ban, when I will be gone for years, hoping that in the meantime administrators would apply the suggestions I presented to them. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 14:47, 4 February 2018 (UTC)- WP:WALLOFTEXT. Also, why do you presume Arianewiki1 is female? -A lad insane(Channel 2) 17:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Because Ariane is a female name, I tried to use he/she, but becasue you bombard me with multiple messages, and I have little time to reply to them, I have to type quickly, so I forget to use he/she. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 20:24, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- I apologize for the "bombardment", but I find that you actually respond quite a bit faster than most editors. There was a controversy a few months ago, though, involving an editor who used a female name on-wiki being opposed at their request for adminship because the name was not their personal name and did not explicitly identify them as female. It's kind of an outlier, but I had to ask. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 21:18, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

- First, you didn't show that JzG "broke wikipedia [sic] policies". He removed text with sub-par sourcing (dubiously reliable pop press, primary source in mediocre journal) that was, in fact, plagiarism on your part, so removing it was the correct thing to do in accord with Wikipedia policy. You accused him of vandalism. Apparently AGF applies only to other people. Second, you're making a personal attack immediately after being warned not to personalize disputes. XOR'easter (talk) 18:17, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- I am not doing any attack, I showed why this admin cannot participate in these proceedings, because he has reasons to be impartial here, due to the issues in the past. My edit there, after consensus, was added to the article - that shows that his actions were damaging to wikipedia, and mine were improving wikipedia. The section, which I created then exists to this day. There was no plagiarism. "While you may expect an assumption of good faith, this is based on the counter-assumption of honesty in your actions.". JzG reverted my edit without explaining reasons. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 20:46, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Your addition to RF resonant cavity thruster was a direct copy of the abstract of this paper. (It would be original research for me to call that paper garbage, but we're not in article space now, so I'll say that here anyway.) The text which was restored after JzG removed your plagiarism was not your writing, and that is the text which is present in the current version. Your contribution violated a basic tenet of academic honesty and does not belong in Wikipedia or any other encyclopedia. Your description of the events surrounding it is a wall-to-wall misrepresentation that I can only assume is intended to smear the character of a Wikipedia administrator. XOR'easter (talk) 23:01, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- I quoted the source (to which I provided the link) with modifications, so there was no plagiarism. JzG did not explain his reversal, and he was obliged to do that by wikipedia polices. The text, which is there now is the result of consensus. Similar text was there before, but was reverted by someone months before, and nobody reversed it back until I started my edit, then someone in the discussion remembered that old edit, and poposed to add this old edit instead of mine, I agreed, and after a long discussion with many editors the consensus was to leave that new text in the article after modifications, so only thanks to me it is there now. You are all the time grossly violating WP:AGF by saying what you say about me. Please stop, first because it is untrue what you say, second it is against the policy. You are making it personal - you should not do that. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 00:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Replacing the word "We" in the abstract with the authors' names and then repeating the rest verbatim is not sufficient "modification" to make what you did anything other than plagiarism and copyright violation. Your providing the source just made it easy to tell that you were cheating. Nothing I have said here violates policy. Maintaining the academic integrity of Wikipedia ispolicy. Your insistence upon AGF while extending good faith to no one else is just sealioning. Furthermore, since you lack the ability or the inclination to recognize your own violations of basic academic ethics when they are pointed out to you, I cannot see why anyone should trust you to contribute to building an encyclopedia. XOR'easter (talk) 00:46, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? Have you never heard of the right to quote? I quoted a part of the abstract and provided a link to the original, as per the right to quote. I even e-mailed the authors of the paper back then informing them about my edit and asking for comments, and they had nothing against it. You are violating WP:AGF assuming without any evidence, that I did not make good faith edits and that I deliberatery violated polices, which I did not violate at all. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 01:02, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- I don't think that the fringe thing is the main problem. I.m.o. MM's problem is his failure to understand how consensus and burden of proof work in Wikipedia. He wants to make an edit to an article, inappropriate, off-topic, and/or backed by insufficienty relevant sources, and then insists that everybody else must provide sources that prove, and convince him, that the topic indeed does not belong in the article. And then it turns out that nobody can convince him. The most recent example of this was when, after their block for edit warring, I advised him to first go to the talk page and establish consensus for new additions to the list. Against this advice he made an edit [346], that I undid [347] with an explanation on the talk page [348], [349]. He reverted the undo [350], and then went to the talk page where it was explained to him by everyone else that, for various reasons, the item does not belong in the article. He failed to convince anyone and vice versa. And that is how, after many walls of text, we ended up here. And it went on and on. Even here. So I don't think that a fringe topic ban will work. - DVdm (talk) 15:31, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

- If you do not read what I write then of course that you would remain unconvinced, but then you have no moral right to participate in this discussion, if you do not read what your opponent has to say, because then you do not judge by evidence but by prejudice, so your judgement is unfair and unjust. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 11:56, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I had put the emphasis on "and vice versa" to make it clear that I cannot convince you in any way. You do not have to convince me of anything, unless you first understand the Wikipedia policies, which you do not. So there is no point reading your walls of text. This is why I said no when you asked me to show which of your reasoning is incorrect. That would be a waste of your and my time—and probably everybody else's. So no. - DVdm (talk) 14:38, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I proved, among others in my message above sent at 19:28, 4 February 2018, that it is you who do not understand wikipedia polices. You are unable to prove that I am incorrect, and you just demand that I believe you on your word? Unbelivable. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 15:11, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- After consideration, I would support this course of action. On the one hand, I agree with DVdm that MM shows "failure to understand how consensus and burden of proof work in Wikipedia". In principle, this affects all areas, not just fringe science/pseudoscience. (If you don't read yourself the sources you shove at other people, that's a fundamental problem, as is ignoring policies and guidelines about, e.g., attributing text copied from elsewhere on Wikipedia in your edit summaries.) However, looking over MM's edit history, it appears that fringe science has pretty much been their only area of interest for years. So, a topic ban might in practice resolve the problem.

- Fair point. I suspect the only reason we haven't already topic-banned Musashi miyamoto is that e only made two mainspace edits int he twelve months from his last outing at RF resonant cavity thruster, and the current dispute. Both those edits drew entirely on primary research by M. E. McCulloch (three separate cites). I don't know if that's fringe or not. Guy(Help!) 10:29, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you that confirmed this way that you have no clue what my recent edits were about and what the discussion was about, that also proves that you did not read much, if anything what was written here and on the article talk pages. I have not done any edits to RF resonant cavity thruster, now. So, please, stop making up stuff, and read what is written, in particular in my message above sent at 19:28, 4 February 2018. Thank you. And two years ago I did a bold edit on the reasearch of the Finnish researchers and not McCulloch. And now I provided with 6 sources to the reasearch of notable scientists on the source of inertia and a secondary source on that, and the 7th source to the reasearch of McCulloch I provided with only because it was the most recent paper on the subject, but it can be removed if you do not like it, 6 other sources are more than enough.

Initially I wanted to suggest that you should sit on twitter and not here with your terse statements, but even on twitter other people tweets bear more meaning than some of yours sentences here, no offence, it's just a fact. I proved that they broke wikipedia polices; your failure to see that, does not mean that you are right, no matter how many people would support you, becasue as wikipedia policy says what is important is the quality of argument whether it represents a minority or a majority view: 'The quality of an argument is more important than whether it represents a minority or a majority view' WP:Consensus.

Comment I have no idea why I was pinged a couple sections above, possibly because I've been mistaken for an administrator, which I am not. I have not been following this thread, therefore I will not be making any comment on the substance of the dispute. However, I will say that anyone who can follow the unholy lengths of the posts above is a saint, which I am not. This may go down in ANI history as the thread with the largest numbers of long posts, ever. Blackmane (talk) 13:52, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Possibly Useless Suggestion
Most of the posts to this thread, as noted above, are too long to read. Here is an odd suggestion. Just close this entire section as having allowed the parties to vent at each other. If anyone wants to propose administration action, start a new thread (or, better yet, take this to Arbitration Enforcement and spare the rest of us). I don't expect this to be implemented, but .... Robert McClenon (talk) 18:24, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Agree, I already suggested to close this somewhere above, all I want to do is to end this, it takes too much of my time, which I do not have. I said long time ago that I am not going to edit wikipedia again in the foreseeable future, I was considering RfC, but I doubt, if I have time for that. So let's just go to our other duties and forget about this unfriendly place (that's what I am going to do). Musashi miyamoto (talk) 18:40, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Nope. Several Supports from uninvolved admins, and no credible alternative yet proposed. Guy(Help!) 18:43, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- You have a personal grudge against me, so as stated above you should refrain yourself from these proceedings, because your impartiality and objectivity in this case may be questioned. Therefore I ask others to not bear any weight on his opinions and actions, because they are not impartial. Also, you say that there are "Several Supports from uninvolved admins", but who is the admin and who isn't? How to recognize admins? Shouldn't you have some mark by your nickname (a star or something) to show that you are an admin? Otherwise, how we all can know that what you say is true that there were allegedly several supports from admins? Musashi miyamoto (talk) 19:04, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not following this, and I'm not about to leap in with both feet. But there cannot possibly be more than two dozen editors participating in this thread (and that's being generous), and it would take less than 5 minutes to note all the names and check them at Special:ListUsers to see if they have admin rights or not. Seriously; this is a ludicrous question and doesn't deserve any consideration. Even ignoring what I said above, the vast majority of us know who the admins are by name most of the time, because they're the only ones who do admin things around the project like protecting pages and blocking problem editors. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 19:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Some of you live on wikipedia, I do not, so how could I know that? I still find that it would be useful if admins nicknames had a mark by them showing that they are administrators. So that is my yet another suggestion to admins, to introduce such a feature. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 19:35, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- I am under attack though I did nothing wrong, and my opponents falsely accuse me and lie (some of them habitually), wouldn't you defend yourself seeing their wrong and unfair behaviour? My point that admins should be marked has just been proven. I checked all the names in these two relevant sections and there was only one admin apart from Guy (who should not be included here, due to the impartiality problem caused by the past events), so he falsely claimed that there were several admins supporting him, while there was only one.

- You wouldn't know it from looking at the giant walls of text you found time to write up above. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 20:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Some of you live on wikipedia, I do not, so how could I know that? I still find that it would be useful if admins nicknames had a mark by them showing that they are administrators. So that is my yet another suggestion to admins, to introduce such a feature. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 19:35, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I have no grudge against you. The reverse may well be true, but I didn't even remember your username until you dredged up your past POV-pushing. Guy(Help!) 19:43, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- If you had a grudge against me, you would say the same, if you wanted to harm me, therefore you should refrain yourself from these proceedings, because you cannot be trusted in these proceedings, and others should not bear any weight to your actions and statement here, especially when you above stated this untrue statement: "Several Supports from uninvolved admins". I checked out all the people in those two sections above, and only Swarm is an admin, so there was no support from several uinvolved admins, it was a lie most likely said in order to harm me, which confirms that you may not be impartial due to the events of the past. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 19:56, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Is that paranoia or arrogance I wonder? In the year when you made two edits to one article, all citing the same person, I made 11,000 edits to many hundreds of pages despite taking a break for over six full months. Of course your rebuttal at the RF thruster page rankles with you still, but as I say, I don't remember it even after you brought it up. However, I guess if you were the kind to realise when you've lost and walk away, we wouldn't be here. Guy(Help!) 20:19, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I just proved that you said not truth about the number of admins supporting you, and you call that paranoia? The section which I introduced on the RF thruster was added after consensus and modification, and exists there to this day, that proves that your unexplained reversal was detrimental to wikipedia and my edit improved wikipedia.
I said that several times that I want to walk away, but you hold me here, because you want to punish me even though I am innocent of any wrongdoing, so I have to waste my time to defend myself against false accusations. If you new anything about legal proceedings you would know that what you do here is a farce. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 20:37, 5 February 2018 (UTC) - Guy, Discretionary sanctions are discretionary, and the claim of "INVOLVED" above rings more hollow than a vacuum chamber. So swing that mop, apply the topic ban you suggested and then we can shut this thread down. I'm sure it'll open up at AE within a few hours, but that's pretty much par for the course, these days. Everybody appeals the moment they get hit with sanctions, and precious few of those appeals run more than a few days before being shut down. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 20:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- How can you judge me without reading what I wrote and what evidence I presented? Why do you want to punish an innocent person? If you like to be punished being innocent, then perhaps the Guy should apply a ban on you, just like that, for nothing. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 20:42, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- I'm not following this, and I'm not about to leap in with both feet. But there cannot possibly be more than two dozen editors participating in this thread (and that's being generous), and it would take less than 5 minutes to note all the names and check them at Special:ListUsers to see if they have admin rights or not. Seriously; this is a ludicrous question and doesn't deserve any consideration. Even ignoring what I said above, the vast majority of us know who the admins are by name most of the time, because they're the only ones who do admin things around the project like protecting pages and blocking problem editors. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 19:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I have voluntarily agreed to refrain from editing the wikipedia for a substantial amount of time (likely several years) - I wonder why is it not enough for you? Musashi miyamoto (talk) 20:52, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- You have a personal grudge against me, so as stated above you should refrain yourself from these proceedings, because your impartiality and objectivity in this case may be questioned. Therefore I ask others to not bear any weight on his opinions and actions, because they are not impartial. Also, you say that there are "Several Supports from uninvolved admins", but who is the admin and who isn't? How to recognize admins? Shouldn't you have some mark by your nickname (a star or something) to show that you are an admin? Otherwise, how we all can know that what you say is true that there were allegedly several supports from admins? Musashi miyamoto (talk) 19:04, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, wow. (The subsection makes it difficult to know where to post — did you really need a separate header, Robert McClenon? It makes it look like everybody after you is commenting on your suggestion. Anyway, that's not what I mean to do.) I'll support Guy's proposal of a topic ban and a reminder to assume good faith, as a minimum sanction to protect the encyclopedia. But from Musashi miyamoto's input here on ANI, with the numerous personal attacks and bludgeoning, I think we're now across the line and into indefinite block territory. Bishonen talk 21:04, 5 February 2018 (UTC).
- Bish, this is a DS area where any uninvolved admin can act at their discretion, so could I please beg you to just do the honors instead of voicing your support? I know this is a bit weird given that I'm not involved at all, but I've been seeing this thread grow like mold for several days now and I (and I suspect more than a few others) really want it archived and gone. And the consensus here seems pretty clear that the initial complaint is valid. Lord knows I'd be tempted to indef somebody just over this amount of bludgeoning... Probably a good thing I don't have a mop. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:10, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Great, let's just lynch him, why not, it's all discretionary, it's all arbitrary, evidence is not important, arguments and their quality are not important. He just wrote too much to defend himself and that is good enough reason to ban him forever. Congratulations! ;< Now I think even the press might be interested in this case. Musashi miyamoto (talk) 21:18, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Blocked. We don't do cool-down blocks, but that last post convinces me you need to take a break of some duration, Musashi miyamoto. I've blocked you indefinitely. Just as advice, I suggest you take some time out before you appeal the block, but that's entirely up to you. Of course do try to interest the press if you wish.

Personal attacks by User:Ceoil
User:Ceoil blocked for one week by User:NinjaRobotPirate, for continued personal attacks and edit warring. fish&karate 14:24, 5 February 2018 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
After I removed some unsourced dubious content from Mark E. Smith ([351]) and made a tweak to image formatting in the infobox ([352]), neither of which seems controversial, Ceoil reinstated the unsourced content ([353]), and reverted my image fix ([354]) with an edit summary "two can play the same game", whatever that means. I restored the image fix but it was reverted again, without explanation ([355]). I left Ceoil a message asking why he was reverting ([356]). Ceoil then left a message on my talk page ([357]) which didn't really explain anything. He then left abusive messages on my talk page in a series of edits ([358]) calling me a 'prick' and a 'fuck'. I'm not going to engage further with an editor behaving like this - could an uninvolved admin deal with this please. Thanks. --Michig (talk) 16:01, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Michig, the content you removed wasn't dubious; it was a list of the best-known recordings, and sources aren't needed in the lead (see WP:LEADCITE). If you see someone is in the middle of expanding an article, and they revert you and seem upset, then why not just leave it for a bit? Or go to talk. Yes, I know, no OWN, but even so. SarahSV (talk) 16:41, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Note, he revered me, not the other way round. Ceoil (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- It was dubious, as I don't believe these are the best known recordings, and it wasn't sourced - a few of them may be among the best-known recordings, others are not. I didn't revert it again, I requested a citation (somewhere else in the article would be fine if it this content was there, but it isn't) and did go to talk to ask why the other edit was reverted. The article wasn't tagged as in use at the time, hadn't been edited for 7 minutes, and had been edited by two different editors in the previous hour, so I'm not sure why you feel I shouldn't have been editing it - several editors have been making substantial edits since he died. In any case, I don't see how removing an unsourced statement, tweaking an image, and asking an editor why they reverted twice without explanation is in any way justification for the abuse I received. --Michig (talk) 16:55, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Ceoil reverted me here, reinstaing unsourced content without explanation, here, removing a tweak to image formatting without explanation, and here, again without explanation. All my edits were explained in edit summaries. --Michig (talk) 17:07, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- I endorse the comments made by Michig. Ceoil has contributed greatly to that article - for which he should be praised - but clearly has serious ownership issues. There is absolutely no doubt, for example, that the list of best-known recordings that he insists on retaining in the lead is unsourced and, apparently, his personal opinion. Rather than simply reverting with abusive edit summaries like this, he needs to modify his editing behaviour and engage with other editors through the article talk page. If he is unwilling to do that, admin action needs to be taken. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:13, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Michig: Ceoil has made 521 edits to the article. You're the next contributor, with 24. So clearly he cares about it. It's not a question of trying to justify anything, but when the main contributor is in the middle of a series of edits, a degree of concentration is needed, and it can cause people to get annoyed if interrupted. That's all. I know this is Wikipedia and we have to expect it, but these things happen. SarahSV(talk) 17:15, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- No editor has placed an {{under construction}} tag on that page; we are talking about a recently-deceased person where there are a good number of editors willing and able to make positive changes to the article: and some of Ceoil's edits have been poor, in terms of grammar, spelling, and lack of adequate sourcing. There is no good reason why editors, even those making major changes to an article, should not be able to edit in a civil and proper manner, and not have hissy fits like this. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:25, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Michig, you seemed to threaten him with a block, [359] and that's what triggered the comment you're quoting. I know your comment was ambiguous ("you can expect a block"), but it's important to choose words carefully to make clear you're speaking as an editor and not an admin. I would suggest closing this before it escalates even further. SarahSV(talk) 17:49, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- What? No. Someone can't just go around calling people a "prick" and have an ANI discussion shut down. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:51, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- No. Second ninjarobotpirate. By the way that prick comment [360] was before the "threat" Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:59, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Sarah, I think you need to step away and stop making excuses for him - my warning to him came three minutes after he posted this on my talk page, and he will be well aware that this sort of behaviour is likely to result in a block given his block history. --Michig (talk) 18:00, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:25, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Michig: As an administrator, you should know that the civility pillar crumbled into dust a long time ago on this site, particularly when the uncivil behavior comes from an experienced content contributor. We reserve sanctions for incivility for relatively new editors, incompetent editors, and, of course, administrators. It is nice to see "prick" for a change instead of "cunt" - I always felt, from an American perspective, that a little balance was needed.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Not the first, or the second, or the third block for the same behaviour. 3RR violation if you want to tack it on; see [361]. I count 5 reverts at-least. Definitely deserves a longish block for continual personal attacks + general edit warring and uncollegial behaviourGalobtter (pingó mió) 17:52, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- The issue is not simply a matter of civility and personal attacks - it is to do with wider issues of Ceoil's behaviour in editing that page, of which the personal abuse - which should not be dismissed - is part. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:56, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

I have asked both Ceoil and Ghmyrtle to drop it and to discuss at Talk:Mark E. Smith. It was while doing thus that I noticed a reference to this thread. Honestly, you all should know better by now. This is a content dispute that is getting out of hand but not really something that ANI need be bothered with. - Sitush (talk) 00:58, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Amen. Content disputes are not best served by this revert/bate/noticeboard method. If that approach actually worked, wiki would be doomed to statis, navel gazing, infighting and power struggles. Oh wait, and I notice the pile ons here. SarahSV seems clear eyed as to the sequence. Ceoil (talk) 02:40, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Now up to seven reverts. Apparently personal attacks is not something "ANI need be bothered with". Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:53, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- Article: Scrappy Little Nobody (edit talk history links watch logs)
On 30 January 2018, I closed a talk page discussion involving the article Scrappy Little Nobody. There, an anonymous editor felt that the quoted parts of a review published in Kirkus Reviews were offensive/unencyclopedic and should be removed. Other editors disagreed, and as the atmosphere of the discussion was quickly devolving, I thought it was best to close the discussion right away with an explanation of WP:NPOV, which in my view allows the inclusion of the quoted material.
Despite this, the user has continued to make these edits tendentiously (see article history) and has also spent much effort trying to edit my closing statement despite requests to stop (see talk page history). The user claims that we aren't responding to their claims, whereas in my view, I think the talk page discussion explains the policies and guidelines at issue more than enough.
Accordingly, I see this as a case of WP:IDHT, and I think the IP should be blocked temporarily to prevent further disruption to this article. Since it is my closing statement the editor has an issue about, I believe I'm too involved to act as an admin myself in this case. Mz7 (talk) 23:44, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Sounds like the IP is a young fan who doesn't really know how things are done here. A block for their IDHT, as well as battleground behaviour and competence probably wouldn't go amiss. Blackmane (talk) 01:23, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Notification of canvassing by User:Anthere
This is not spam or canvassing. If editors feel otherwise, they should complain directly to Florence or the WMF. Just because a message may be "unwelcome" does not mean it is prohibited.

- I do not see this going anywhere. In any case, this is not canvassing related to the English Wikipedia. I suggest speedy close.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:16, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- This is though tantamount to spam on this Wikipedia though, as a form of advertising, if it is not canvassing. Where then is the best place for notification of this?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sport and politics (talk • contribs)
- I would say Meta, but given the standing of Anthere in the community and given the fact that many proposers use a lot of channel (including mailing lists) to ask for support, as I said, I do not see it going anywhere. You can also discuss it directly with Florence, I am sure she will listen.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:24, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- If the concern is spam, then I don't see why it should be raised on meta. As the message was posted here, it can be dealt with here (I'm not saying there's any chance of this happening). But for starters we'd need more evidence it is spam i.e. participants of the wikiproject who consider the message unwelcome. Then you'd need to provide evidence that this is enough of a problem that being told by participants of said project not to post that sort of stuff isn't all the action that is needed. This evidence would likely come in the form of this being a long term problem. If participants of the wikiproject generally considered it welcome, then it doesn't fit the normal definition of spam. If you consider it an inappropriate way to advertise such issues or a sort of meta canvassing, that's perhaps something which should be dealt with on meta, but it has nothing to do with spam. Nil Einne (talk) 13:21, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I am not even sure what Canvassing exactly mean. If it is spamming... well... I have posted 3 call of endorsement for our funding request on the English wikipedia. 3 posts is spam ? Seems a bit of exaggeration here, no ?
- Then spam is when a message is not welcome. I believe my message could be welcome by most and possibly unwelcome to a few. In one case, the post was on the discussion page of the Wiki Loves Women WikiProject I started myself (obviously, It should be welcome there). In the second case, in the Women in Red project talk page, WiR having been interested so far by what has been done in Wiki Loves Women framework (so I am not convinced they would consider it spam either). And this week-end, somebody suggested also informing the LGBT community because I was told LGBT rights are challenged quite a bit in particular in Tanzania and we could envision working on LGBT rights specifically as part of WLW project. How would that be really wrong for me to tell the participants of the LGBT wiki project ?
- The second thing is that the Wikimedia Foundation EXPLICITELY ask us to inform the relevant, interested, and impacted communities when we propose a project and ask funding for it. So that community members can come and endorse the project OR they can also come and say I am a full nutty and my proposal is complete nonsense. If I pretend informing those communities in posted a little message on my meta user talk page, there is very little chance that the communities will be appropriately informed ! I need to tell them about it where they have a chance to find it.
- In any cases, please rest assured that I will not post it anywhere else. I think it would also have make sense to inform WikiProjects related to African communities, but hopefully I already reached out to them through other means.
- But seriously... WikiProjects are the places where we can discuss and inform about issues we care about. If posting an information there is spam... well... poor call. Sadly Anthere (talk)

This account is a WP:SPA for promotion of his own books. He's been warned many times at his talk page by three editors (including me) about spamming his own books as a reference. Now, following a level 4 warning for advertising, he's switched tactics by posting Airline product, a near-verbatim paste of three pages of one of his books he's been spamming for in references. The article is referenced only by his book and one other source, the latter of which I assume is a reference from his book. Nomination for speedy deletion as spam by User:331dot was declined as the article itself doesn't advertise anything specific. But this account is clearly meant solely for self-promotion - note his rationale at my talk page for his continual reference spam: "Honestly, I just wanted to share and disseminate knowledge from my book. I genuinely believe that it is a useful resource for students and practitioners. My book has been endorsed by some of the best academics in Tourism and Hospitality."

- I don't see it that way at all. It's an expert, trying to contribute his expertise, and not knowing our rules. He needs counseling, not banning. (I mention that the most suspicious thing about the article was that it was exceptionally coherent and well-written for a WP general article, and therefore looks like it came from elsewhere; the contribution someone like that can make at WP is enormous, if we do not chase them away. All that needs to be done is to explain the rules, and how to contribute as an expert. Possibly he won't want to continue under our rules--I know experts who will not contribute here because they do not want their precise wording altered--but I also know experts who do understand that this is an important supplement to academic writing.
- This seems so very typical of ANI--a rush to conclusions before considering that the motive might be a good one (even though the action showed lack of knowledge of our rules. Actually, I think that relatively few mainstream academic come here to contribute to content article to promote their work--if they want to promote themselves, they try write an autobiography. And when they do promote their work, it's usually just by adding references to it, not by writing major articles summarizing the mainstream orthodox view of their field.

Second, taking an excerpt from one's own book and making a Wikipedia article from it is either lazy writing or pormotionalism: they would never presume to try to do that with a professional journal or even a commercial magazine, so they obviously think of Wikipedia as a lesser form of information dispersal.

- Reviewing this, the user did request an unblock via UTRS which was procedurally declined (which seemed a little BITEy), and for some reason they removed an unblock request from their talk page, possibly in error. I agree with the above condemnations, but at the very least, an editor who insists that they're trying to contribute to the project in good faith in a variety of areas deserves to have their block appeal reviewed.

List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump is currently subject to discretionary sanctions. Getting a number of violations of WP:1RR by several editors. I really don't want to go to Arbitration Enforcement yet and would rather ask an uninvolved administrator to take a look, possibly administer personal warnings to those they feel necessary and perhaps an 8 to 24 hour full protect to force people to the talk page. I have deliberately not named any offending editors and I am NOT requesting any sanctions against anybody at this time, just a warning. I am prepared to go to arbitration enforcement if I have to, but I want to avoid that if possible. Safiel (talk) 22:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi admin! Coming here after this suggestion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Archive_159#Talk:Aangan_(TV_series)
You can check out whole Talk:Aangan (TV series); the issue might have been resolved but still "his" behaviour is rude. The latest example of the behaviour is in Draft:Tabeer. Although it is just a draft, but it has been declined several times maybe due to not enough coverage; though I didn't understand why is "he" reverting my edits. His IPs were earlier 182.182.*** and now are 39.38.***. Please check out and let me know what to do. Thanks! :) M. Billoo 13:21, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Why are you putting scare quotes around "male" and "his"? What possible difference can the IP's gender make to your complaint? If you just want to avoid making assumptions about their gender, better to use singular "they", as I just did. It's now accepted by numerous grammarians and style books. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:43, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- There's no basis for admin action here. It appears that you have a personal dispute (not a content dispute) with this user, and that they simply want you to leave them alone. I strongly suggest you stop interacting with this user unless you have a very good reason for doing so. I don't think you need to be intervening on that particular draft.

Requesting a NOTHERE block for this user. I was collecting diffs for an AE filing but appalled by what I found.

By calling it what it actually is, scientific confirmation of sex, it undermines their lies. And lying is the point. So this article will stand until their narrative changes, not facts. Which undeniably are on the side of renaming or deleting this. "
- 06:49, 6 February 2018

Introduction of a malware link into a citation
There's an incident involving a possible malware link being introduced into a {{cite web}} ref by user Ehipassiko2 (talk · contribs) that I'm hesitating to call intentional (hence not "reporting" the user in the section header), but which has potential negative side effects to the encyclopedia, so thought I'd better raise it here in case something needs to be done. (Previously raised at user talk page, and at Teahouse). There are a series of six edits at Feminist views on transgender and transsexual people which mostly appear benign to me, but two among them raised a red flag:
- 23:53, February 2, 2018 – (ES) adds text with {{cite web}} having valid
title
and aurl
identified as containing HEUR.Trojan.Script.Generic. - 00:12, February 3, 2018 – (ES) overwrites good
title
with "HARM IS HARM".
As I said at the Teahouse, there's been no discussion yet, I still assume good faith on the part of this user, and had there been only one such edit, I would have waited for their response. But given that malware was involved, and that the second edit seemed to confirm the first, I'm not sure if waiting is a good idea. The fact that in every other way, the edits appear to be constructive, is either a mitigating factor and a sign that it's all just a big mistake, or else some clever camouflage for ill intent in a topic area under discretionary sanctions.
Although I'm an occasional lurker here, I haven't participated much, so not sure where to go with this. Since a block seems very premature, I guess I'm really only asking for vigilance, although I don't know how that might translate into ANI-ese, and suspect it might not. I suppose mostly, I raised it because I couldn't in good conscience just sit on this without saying something. Should I just forget about this? Mathglot (talk) 05:24, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- I am confirming that I encouraged Mathglot to file this ANI report in a Teahouse discussion. Lacking expertise in malware, I thought it best to bring the matter to wider attention here. Cullen328Let's discuss it 05:37, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

- FWIW, oncenturyavenue.org seems to have been a legitimate domain at one time judging by Google searches, connected to a legitimate student newspaper connected to NYU Shanghai. It may have been hacked. Additionally, the citation placed by the user is accurately sourced to the NYU Shanghai Writing Department. How they got to the link is unclear. The citation was incorrectly titled, actually using the title of the other source. "HARM IS HARM" is actually the title of the oncenturyavenue page, though it could stand to be made less shouty. How they got to the link is unclear, but it does still show up in Google search, so it may have just been itself cited on another site, and the user chose to use that information and cite the original source without looking into it. I'm willing to assume good faith here. Pinguinn 🐧 06:28, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- What specific tool did you use to identify potential malware? [ Opera 43.0. —Mathglot (talk) 09:07, 3 February 2018 (UTC) ]
- Looking at Special:Diff/823719240, the meta-scan by Virus Total shows that 1 of 67 and 0 / 67 tools find malware at the URLs added by the user. I suspect that the results are false positive. It is also possible that the website has transient malware from an advertising networkBillHPike(talk, contribs) 06:35, 3 February 2018 (UTC)A

I’m fairly confident this is either a false positive or a transient occurance. BillHPike(talk, contribs) 06:41, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

I have one request: the original problem was noted in edits by a brand new user (Ehipassiko2 (talk · contribs)), and I don't want them to feel bitten or get scared off by the talk page comments. If there's someone here who reckons they have good bedside manner and would be willing to have a look at my comments on their talk page and perhaps add something if you think it would be helpful, I'd appreciate it. Thus far, they have not responded, so I hope they are still paying attention, or will come back at some point and notice the comments. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:21, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

PAKHIGHWAY block review

- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
(I'll notify involved editors in a moment) I just blocked PAKHIGHWAY (talk · contribs). This user was under a topic ban as a result of this discussion. In the section earlier on this noticeboard, "Mass G8 deletion of pages created by an IP", there was some concern the user was editing via an IP address, though this was not involved in my discussion to block. In my opinion and apparently that of others, PAKHIGHWAY has been pushing right up against the edge of the topic ban in a number of edits. What concerned me this morning was this edit, removing "Disputed with India" which seems an unambiguous violation, and then these edits to a talk page on an article about India. It's hard to reconcile these with the user's topic ban. Combine those edits with the existing behaviour and I felt it most appropriate to place a six month block. I am unclear as to whether the topic ban should restart once the block expires, but (if the block stands), we'll need to determine this. I suggest the topic ban be restarted once the block expires. So... is this block appropriate? If so, should the topic ban restart once the block expires? --Yamla (talk) 12:59, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Definitely needed some sort of block, although six months may be a big leap. I think the topic ban should be reset after each block. - Sitush (talk) 13:13, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Agree with Yamla a block was absolutely in order as a clear and present breach of topic ban (and which on top of the myriad of other similar edits could in no way be accidental). However: six months could appear excessive. Don't topic-ban violations usually begin with a month block and increment at the same rate? Mind you, arguably, that's also the discretion we pay our admin corp for—and this editor's been pushing the same crap since the beginning of the year (three blocks already, since 1 Jan, for the same thing?!). >SerialNumber54129...speculates 13:31, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I would argue for a block of one month.And T-Ban resets with each block.~ Winged BladesGodric 13:34, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I guess I can see the rationale for 6 months (the two blocks this year were relatively shorter than desired). But yes, reduce to 1 month seems to be more within the process. Alex Shih (talk) 13:58, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yamla, more of a procedural question than anything, but is this block intended as an AE action? I ask since I believe the TBAN was a discretionary sanction and was logged at WP:AELOG/2018. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:05, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yamla: fix ping. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:06, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I thought the block was reasonable, this looked to me like this was one of (a) a breaching experiment; (b) a complete failure to get it, or (c) a failure to accept the restriction. The appeal appears to rule out (b). Guy (Help!) 14:32, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Given his previous behaviour, blocks, and all the warnings; I think 45 days would be the best call. —usernamekiran(talk) 14:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Or maybe 38 days, 17 hours, 23 minutes and 9 seconds...~ Winged BladesGodric 18:10, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Right. The general consensus appears to be that 6 months is too long, but a 1 month block seems justified, followed by restarting the one year topic ban. I will now go and modify the block, logging my action to WP:AELOG/2018. --Yamla (talk) 20:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) A block was definitely warranted, to remind Pakhighway of the need to stay away from the area of their topic ban. But given the minor character of the transgression, and the fact that he is productive in an area where there is a dearth of experienced editors, I think a block of more than a couple of days is going to bring the encyclopedia more harm than good. A week might be too much, and a month is excessive. – Uanfala (talk) 20:05, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- The block was already shortened, so the point is moot, but I'll just state for the record that I don't think 6 months was excessive in this context. Let's recap, for the anyone who doesn't fully appreciate the situation. This is an editor who is willingly and persistently attempting to POV-push, in spite of numerous sanctions, in an area already under discretionary sanctions for this exact reason. If they were supporting a product instead of a country, they would have already been indeffed as a spammer. They were already in indef territory before the topic ban. But they were given a topic ban, and then they talked their way into getting their topic ban reduced in scope, then they immediately used that leniency to continue the problematic POV editing which they were topic banned for. I blocked them for this, and their block appeal showed no inkling whatsoever of them understanding the issue. Then they resort to the same behavior again, get blocked, and yet again people are calling for leniency. It doesn't matter if a user can edit productively if they choose not to. In my opinion, cutting five months off the original block was yet another unjustified and undeserved act of exceptional lenience. It's exceedingly clear at this point that this user is either unable or unwilling to edit responsibly. In my opinion, this user is well out of WP:ROPE, and the next block should, without question, be indefinite. Swarm ♠ 23:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Saiph121 either cannot understand or will not accept consensus. They have been given plenty of rope. If rope were corn flakes, they'd be Kellogg's. (See their talk page.)
Here is their last trip to AN/I. This is them not hearing that discussion. This is another final warning, from JzG. This and this are Saiph121 making it clear they did not understand or chose not to follow that warning (for which JzG blocked them again).
Now we have this. Saiph121 is again re-adding a non-notable award contrary to the repeatedly established consensus. They challenged that consensus at DRN, where it was found to be a non-controversial one-against-many. They edited in defiance of that consensus and were blocked for it. That brought them back here with the warning and block discussed above.
That new diff also has them re-adding a category which was removed after similar extensive discussion on the same talk page, a trip to DRN, a trip here and a couple of blocks.
Discussion does not work. They either do not understand key portions of the discussions, do not understand that consensus is our basic dispute resolution process or choose not to follow the consensus.
Warnings do not work. Their (extensive) talk page is littered with ignored requests for discussion and warnings.
Short blocks do not work. They have returned from three blocks in a month and a half with no apparent recognition that there is a problem.
I think a longer term block and/or a 1RR restriction is needed. - SummerPhDv2.0 13:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- First, I will point out that the dispute resolution noticeboard is a purely voluntary service for the resolution of content disputes, but that User:Saiph121 was previously using it vexatiously, apparently in order to avoid consensus. The fact that their trips to DRN were dismissed should not be used as evidence that they were wrong on the content. However, second, I completely agree with User:SummerPhDv2.0 that this is a case of tendentious editing. I don't see that longer blocks are the answer, because by now the question is whether to give an indefinite block for competence or as not here to collaborate or to fashion a restriction. I propose a Topic-Ban on all versions of Beauty and the Beast, broadly defined, and on film-related topics for six months. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I do not mean to imply that the DRN results are indicative of the content questions, only that they clearly show that Saiph121 is not recognizing when consensuses exist and that they are binding so long as they remain.
- I do not think that a TBAN on Beauty and the Beast is sufficient. Saiph121 has a recurring pattern, discussed at Talk:Culture_of_the_United_Kingdom#Extensive_and_growing_example_farm. They add content and, when reverted, repeatedly restore the content (often while logged out). They do not respond to discussion requests, responding only once a consensus is established and enacted (a process currently underway on that same talk page). A topic ban would apparently need to cover all film related articles (broadly construed). While I think the broader range of articles is necessary, I think a 1RR on such articles will quickly get us to the point where they either "get it" or end up blocked. - SummerPhDv2.0 14:27, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Clearly SummerPhDv2.0's actions against me are truly a case of witch-hunting despite all the explanations that the awards that he stated are "non-notable" are truly false as these are linked which is being called "bluelinked articles" that really exist and this topic ban being issued with a threat against me is considered a violation of my freedom to edit a topic and yet all of this threats of long bans and topic ban restriction is a form of persecution in which my intent was stating on the truth. Saiph121 (talk) 15:41, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- This is bizarre. I took less than 5 minutes to review the discussion and I can see that this specific point has been explained to you over and over again. There's a clear local consensus that only notable awards should be included, and that the organization that gives the award being notable and having its own article does not make the award itself worthy of inclusion. You've ignored everything everyone said to you, you've ignored warnings, and you've ignored blocks. I'm blocking indef, and would not support an unblock without strict editing restrictions.

There was a speedy deletion notice which I contested. I took the article from an 85.7% Earwig down to a 2% earwig. It was deleteed (can't recover who did it) anyway as a copyuright violation. SNAFU. There was no copyright violation. Nobody was "fooling Earwig", as you alleged. This was a contested deletion which should have been WP:PRODd IT. Deletionn violated WP:Before. There was a 2% chance of a ccopyyright violation per Earwig. <There was no copy vio and no close paraphrasing. You deleted based on an alleged copyright violation. The expansive, new and novel Procrustean approach is clearly outside of policy. WP:Before violated. Article could have been improved and expanded. The mere coincidence of proper and trade names doesn't make this a copy vio. I would also note that User:Fram left a notice at here at User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 's talk page, and he is currently blocked from editing. Talk about a self fulfilling prophecy. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- The page was nominated (not by me) for deletion as a copyvio (an old one, the RAN copyright investigation has been ongoing slowly for years). 7&6 contested the deletion and edited the article, but the end result wsa enough to fool Earwig's tool, but not enough to actually get rid of the copyvio. I deleted the article and left a note at RANs talk page, with two long examples of such remaining copyvios[376]. 7&6 seems to think that if Earwig's tool is happy, no copyvio is possible and the article may not be speedy deleted. That's not how it works, and I hope they haven't done too many other similar copyvio "cleanups" as that would mean a lot of potentially problematic content. Fram (talk) 13:50, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I am with Fram on this one. Trivially rewording an article so that automated tools don't spot the copyvio doesn't make it not a copyvio. Speedy deletion was the right move. The subject may or may not be notable and if it is, you're very welcome to write an article about it; don't make it a close paraphrase of a source. GoldenRing (talk) 13:51, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Before 7&6=thirteen began working on the article the content was a verbatim copyvio. Tiderolls 14:17, 6 February 2018 (UTC)The post to which I was responding has been removed. Tiderolls 16:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- The earwig tool is great in some circumstances or as a rough guide. Spotting large completely lifted chunks of copyvio text is one area where it excels. Spotting copyvio text that has had a word or two changed but is substantially the same overall is not. Changing the occasional word does not necessarily make it not a copyvio per ENWP's rules, there is paraphrasing, close paraphrasing, and there is switching a word in the middle of a sentence to bring earwigs % down. From looking at the example's on RAN's page left by Fram, I am of the opinion this certainly (albeit in good faith by thirteen) falls in the latter category. Editors should not place high value in earwigs results. Its a good indicator. Its not infallible.
- What I would suggest is that given RAN has shown no interest in fixing his extensive copyvio problems over the years is that there should be no requirement of any other editor in notifying him if they nominate anything of his mess for deletion due to copyright issues.

- Your personal attackS on User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) is just an irrelevant Red herring and Argumentum ad hominem, and Poisoning the well. Falacy. The article was fixed, and you want to kill it because you don't like the creator. There is no copyright violation NOW. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:05, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yes there isn't one now because the article was deleted. As has been pointed out, merely changing a word or two does not make it not a copyvio per ENWP's rules. Only in death does duty end (talk) 16:07, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Actually, the article was not fixed, as noted by several admins above.

If you would like to start over, from scratch, and create a whole new article with completely different text that you write all by yourself with your own writing that isn't copied or closely paraphrased from anywhere, you're quite free to, and no one will stop you.

- DRV can handle the question of whether to undelete this particular file (preview: DRV is not going to overturn), and I'll comment there. But I've reopened this thread, and don't think it should be closed open we get an idea of the scope of the problem, and until Thirteen acknowledges he understands this: User:7&6=thirteen, you need to listen to what a whole bunch of people are telling you here. Incrementally changing someone's copyrighted work until there is no longer an Earwig match is still a copyright violation. You can't do that live in an article, you can't do that in a sandbox, you can't do it in draft space, and you can't do that in a file on your computer. That is not writing an article, that is modifying someone else's article. It is always a copyright violation. If Earwig came back 0% match after you did that, it's a copyright violation. Fram did the right thing here. I'm concerned at the deep, fundamental misunderstanding if what copyvio means. How many articles have you used this technique on? --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:01, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I did not initially write this article. I totally rewrote it. I will take this up with WP:DELREV, as there is precious little of the original article that was untouched. This was not "incremental" change; it was a wholesale rewrite.
- I would have gotten more sources and rewritten it further, but this article was getting a "fast trial," and a deletion; not to be confused with a constitutionally sound Speedy trial. So the rewrite went bye-bye because of the preemptive first strike. You will get no apology from me as all I did was improve the article only to have it derailed without a modicum of due process or respect for the rules. Apparently the rules don't matter to you? I hope that is not what you meant. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand, in cases like this the rules are that it gets deleted very quickly. A number of the admins above can *see* the deleted content and see its a violation by our policies. From the examples on RAN's talkpage *I* can see its a violation of our copyvio policy. In situations like this it is almost without exception speedily deleted - or if it has been re-written, revision deleted. Your reworked version was not sufficiently different to be kept as a non-copyvio. This is not a huge issue, but you need to understand there are legal implications which mean in situations like this action is taken quickly unless it can be demonstrated sufficiently that a significant rewrite has occurred. That did not happen. The problem with making incremental or minor changes that lower the earwig % is that you are not writing your own work, you are modifying someone else's work, which is still ultimately a copyvio by our policies. It needs to be re-written, not modified to comply with our rules. Only in death does duty end (talk) 17:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Rewording can and does make copyrighted text non-copyrighted.
So I think the only thing that needs to be done is for an uninvolved admin to take a look at the before & after on that page and decide if the edits by 7&6 were enough of a change. This requires some judgement, but there's no need to go around arguing. We're going to have to trust the admin who does this, either way, as it is currently not visible to the rest of us.ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 17:27, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

- Also Jayron already noted they looked at the deleted content and I trust their judgement on this. Only in death does duty end (talk) 17:32, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I understand there are legal implications. Indeed, I venture to guess that I am professionally trained better than you in that regard, but I digress.
- But the extent of copyright and WP:Copyvios and WP:Close paraphrasing is not what you imagine. To be sure, the latter is an amorphous standard, which like Whizzer White said about pornography, "I know it when I see it." You have confabulated both a violation and a new standard. When Earwig is 0%, that is by any objective standard a good indication that there isn't a problem. I understand that you were all acting inn good faith, but you were wrong. So I also understand that you claim you are implementing rules, but I do not understand that you were factually right or procedurally correct. This was a deletion that happened in minutes, even as the article was being (and had largely been) rewritten. You quickly cut off my ongoing editing. And while you say it should not have been "incrementally rewritten", the hurried deletion made a larger rewrite impossible. QED. Heads I win; tails you lose. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:33, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Well everyone above disagrees with you, so I suggest the more likely explanation is you're wrong. If you take this to DRV I would expect to be disappointed. Its clear you don't understand the problem, so someone uninvolved might as well close this. Only in death does duty end (talk) 17:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Apparently you don't understand the concept of "rush to judgment" and 'o'er hasty deletion.' Or WP: Before You choose to disregard the ongoing progress in rewriting the article. Or the ignored contested deletion (which is admitted). that someone chose to leave a notice on a blocked user page (which made correction by him impossible) – which should have made it a fait accomplit but for my happening on that edit – is also ignored. This would have been fixed long ago if you hadn't deleted the article. There were less drastic and destructive ways to have handled it. We will have to agree to disagree as to your analysis or lack thereof. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:06, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

- Yes, you are right. User:Only in death you did not delete anything. I was not directing my comments about you. If you took it that way, I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

- The only good thing about a copyright violation is you don't need a copy of the deleted article to use as a reference to write the new article; you can just use the original article it was stolen from. If you'd like to know the web address RAN took this text from, it was here. In fact, if you want all of the references, I can look at the deleted article and provide the references so you can write a new article from scratch. That is the only way this is going to work; I can guarantee the deleted article is not going to be undeleted at DRV. But what you were doing before the article was deleted was not fixing a copyright problem; it was obscuring a copyright problem. Admins can look at your contribs on the deleted article; there aren't that many to look at. But, for example, changing this:
- In 1840 at 16 years old, he left his family’s Cape Cod. He became apprentice to a master carpenter in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He left New Bedford to build pipe organs in Boston, took to sea as a ship's carpenter, he worked at an ice house in Calcutta and participated in the California Gold Rush of 1849. He returned to New Bedford to start an oil and kerosene business.
- to this:

User: Malik Shabazz criticized me yesterday for a minor edit on the Saudi Arabia section of Antisemitism. This included three uses of the f-word in violation of WP: Don't be rude and WP: civility. I deleted these and was told by several editors that this was 'disruptive editing'. The f-word is nothing but verbal fungus and I see nothing 'disruptive' in deleting it, still less do I see it as a cause for blocking me. Since then he has called me 'blind' and a 'liar'. The first is in very poor taste ( I have cataracts in both eyes) and the second is unsupported by any evidence. Details are to be found on the Antisemitism talk page and on the two most recent entries on my own User: Crawiki talk page. Crawiki (talk) 13:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- You've already been told by three admins on your talkpage that rewriting other people's comments to comply with your personal views constitutes disruptive editing (and been blocked for refusing to listen), so I'm not sure what you hope to achieve by forum-shopping here, but if you insist: rewriting other peoples' comments to comply with your personal views constitutes disruptive editing. You are not the Chief Censor of Wikipedia, and it's not your place to censor other people's comments except in a few exceptional circumstances none of which apply here. It's especially not your place to censor other people's comments when you're arguing in support of a tendentious position (that Saudi Arabian immigration authorities don't discriminate against Jews) which can be disproved by about five seconds Google searching. ‑ Iridescent 13:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Okay, first, everyone, stop poking Crawiki. It's not particularly funny or clever. Second, Crawiki, you wrote here that your "standards are higher than the 'community at large'." They probably are, but that doesn't mean you can impose them on the community.

See Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors - in reference to File:Steve Jobs Uppershot 2010-CROP2.jpg which is photoshopped from File:Steve Jobs Headshot 2010-CROP.jpg by the blocked User:FijiForums as is on OTD right now. Chris857 (talk) 05:33, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Edit - looks like it just got removed from the main page. Carry on. Chris857 (talk) 05:34, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Actually for future reference, how did an obviously doctored picture make it to the main page? I understand OTD is only looked at shortly in advance of its appearance, and that if you are unfamiliar with what Steve Jobs looks like, the nose issue would not necessarily be apparent at that time. But how did the picture get into consideration in the first place? Only in death does duty end (talk) 11:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- So, I cant find where the picture was proposed to be used. I cant find it was used on Steve Jobs article at all (the natural place you would expect to get a picture of Steve Jobs for the main page) the anniversaries for year 1997 actually list him 'returning' to Apple in August not February - while Apple bought Next (Jobs company at the time) in February bringing him back as an advisor to the CEO for Apple (sources indicate 7th Feb but oddly article says 9th), that wasn't a significant date whereas his interim CEO/actual CEO in July/August are (to anyone who knows anything about Apple history) when the Jobs era kicked off. And yet I cant find any discussion or anything regarding this addition for this particular day on the less-than-intuitive OTD pages, and certainly nothing regarding the picture. Which at this point looks like some sort of thinly veiled racial attack. Only in death does duty end (talk) 11:57, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

- Sorry I may have not been clear enough, I understand how OTD is reviewed and updated prior to being posted with Howcheng doing the lion's share of the work, I am more concerned with how an OTD item gets into the position where its posted with a problematic picture (I am assuming Howcheng just picked one from commons here - and commons is at fault for not policing its pics properly as usual) with what appears to be zero discussion in advance. I cant even pin down a discussion as to why Jobs is listed in Feb when anniversaries 1997 (imo) correctly lists the notable date (for Jobs) as August when he became CEO (although it does list the Next takeover in feb) If its the case that essentially no discussion is needed for a process that puts content on the front page - that's a problem in itself as main page content should require a bit more vetting than that. Only in death does duty end (talk) 12:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Correct, I just picked one out of the Commons category. FYI, Jobs was not listed in OTD for Feb 7; NeXT is the article in question. No, there is no real discussion about what articles are suitable for inclusion, and there hasn't ever been one AFAIK. When I started doing it full time in November 2011, updates weren't even being done on a regular basis. It was all very haphazard and ad-hoc, so I just decided to step. If you want to propose a more formal process, please go ahead, but I am fairly certain it won't take hold due to lack of participation. Over the years, I've had offers of help, but no one has really been able to do it consistently. Honestly, it takes me about an hour a day to do this, and that's if I don't bother trying to fix up target articles, which I also do. Believe me, I would love to offload some of this if I could. —howcheng {chat} 21:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

The article on Erika Heynatz (a BLP currently in the news due to #metoo) was recently semiprotected due to an anonymous editor adding a bizarre hoax about her having died. Following this, User:Amy foster made this bizarre post on the talk page followed up by this equally strange comment on my talk page. It seems pretty obvious to me that they're the anonymous editor behind the hoax. They have no less than six prior warnings for various forms of strange/dodgy behaviour - changing facts without sources, weird, poorly-sourced conspiracy theories, amongst other things.
It seems pretty obvious they're not here in good faith and are not paying attention to any of the repeated warnings - can they please be banned? The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

- Your comment strikes me as an unfair assumption about the actions of the blocking admins. Everything you've said here reads like you didn't look at AIV, but have still made assumptions about the nature of the reports/blocks and my own knowledge/thought process before coming here. I was fully aware of all the points you've made before I came here, and I decided to post here anyway because I still genuinely felt AIV needed attention. It's not a comment against anyone if they were occupied doing other things on or off Wikipedia - we're all volunteers and I'm always grateful to the admins who put their time and effort into anti-vandalism.
- Please review the AIV reports concerned here and judge for yourself. If you still believe that any or all of the non-actioned reports were bad reports/hasty blocks after looking at them, then I will take that on board for future reference. Until then, your response to this comes across to me as begging the question (in its philosophical meaning, not its everyday use). Marianna251TALK 01:10, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Pigsonthewing and COI guidelines and templates
I am going to close this for the following reasons: 1. It's not going to lead to consensus on a topic ban as requested; 2. Removing tags is fine, re-adding them is also fine but, per the template's instructions and long-standing practice, only if (a) the removal was clearly abusive or (b) there is genuine evidence to underpin the tag, in the form of a specific post on Talk describing the issue at hand; 3. This incident board exists to support requests for admin action, and in this case what's actually required is probably an RfC, no admin is going to start wielding the mop based on differences of interpretation between good-faith editors; 4. ANI is definitely not going to decide whether GLAM violates WP:COI, because that way lies madness. Guy (Help!) 23:03, 8 February 2018 (UTC) |

I am requesting a topic ban for User:Pigsonthewing with regard to discussions of COI and paid editing.
This is not about whether Pigsonthewing is "correct" about issues currently being disputed but rather about their behavior.
This user is a longtime participant in Wikipedian-in-Residence/GLAM programs, which the community more-or-less blesses, and which have also caused scandal when the potential for WiR/GLAM editors to end up promoting their host, are not managed well (the dead horse example being Gibraltarpedia) So they operate within the PAID policy and COI guideline, which provides special provisions for them.
Pigsonthewing, whose wikifriend even acknowledges "can come across in discussion as somewhat difficult at times" (which is put ... mildly) has gone on a campaign with regard to COI and related tags on articles.
Pigsonthewing already had a history of directly editing the COI guideline to benefit his own activities as a WiR. This behavior is already not kosher and those edits were reverted.
The recent set of events started at Martin Saidler - a German executive who had hired (or whose company hired) three different paid editors to promote him. The last paid editor came here in part to get the COI tag removed on the article created by the 2nd paid editor. When Doc James didn't act fast enough, the paid editor asked Pigsonthewing to do it, who then edit warred to remove it, and the admin responding to the EWN board report protected the page. When protection ended, I completely rewrote the article to get around the whole "tag or not" issue (so Saidler got a great WP:BOGOF deal there). That dispute led to a sprawling argument at the article talk page, and...

Which has culminated (kind of) in an RfC, here.
- See history of direct editing, especially this last one, with edit note "Don't water this down], where he removed "generally" from "a form of paid editing that the Wikimedia community generally regards as positive". Some irony there.
Other discussions:
- 19 January village pump misc discussion about COI tags opened by Pigsonthewing
- 21 January 2018 BLPN thread opened by Pigsonthewing over UPE tag
- 21 January 2018 discussion opened by Pigsonthewing at Template_talk:Connected_contributor about BLP concern
Tag stripping, which is the immediate prompt for this thread:
- Feb 6 - 7 campaign by Pigsonthewing, stripping COI tags from ~40 pages with edit notes quoting template instructions: "if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article. If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning". This is incredibly WP:POINTY, especially in light of one of their edit notes when edit-warring at the template, where they wrote:
Not appropriate for you to change this while you're involved in a dispute about the template's application
.
I acknowledge being very upset by Pigsonthewing's "intervention" on behalf of the commercial paid editor Pplc at the Saidler page, which I find completely beyond the pale, especially by a person who also makes money editing WP (yes as a WiR, but nonetheless...), and I have written some too harsh things and subsequently redacted them. The lack of insight into COI issues for someone who should be acutely sensitive to them, is hard for me to understand, and frustrating.
Their subsequent efforts have gone well beyond what happened at the Saidler page -- the hyper-legalistic campaign is harming our efforts to manage the products of conflicted editing and to make them "reasonably available for review" (Arbcom's language) via the COI tag.
The recent stripping campaign has left pages in WP that have been obviously hijacked unflagged. See for example the University of Ontario Institute of Technology page, which has so obviously been turned into a proxy for the school's website.
If you just scan over Template_talk:COI and look for bold or yellow-highlighted entries, you will find that it is Pigsonthewing pounding the table with repetition of legalistic argumentation. Bludgeoning.
I am suggesting that Pigsonthewing be topic banned from discussions about COI in Wikipedia, which of course would editing the guideline and template instructions, de-tagging, etc.
This is due to their lack of awareness of their own COI when it comes to issues of editing for pay, their aggression in changing or reverting relevant guidance (which they should not be editing at all, much less aggressively) and their bludgeoning of talk pages.
I am in the process of reviewing their extensive WiR/GLAM editing to try to understand how much of that has been promotional for the host institution. This thread is not about their participation in the WiR progam per se. Just about discussions of COI in WP (which does include COI for WiRs). Jytdog (talk) 20:01, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- It's not clear from the article you link, that any "WiR/GLAM editors", as you put it, were centrally involved in Gibraltarpedia. That a museum employee should respond positively to an attempt to improve coverage in an encyclopedia, is hardly surprising. MPS1992 (talk) 20:11, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- The entire "Gilbratrarpedia" project was GLAM/WiR, with the host institution being Gilbratar's Tourism Board. See Wikipedia:GLAM/GibraltarpediA. See also this CNET piece as the scandal was breaking, and for the unthinking celebration of the "big win" for Gibralatar's Tourism Board, see for example Gibraltarpedia: A New Way To Market The Rock.
- But this thread is not about that. Jytdog (talk) 20:17, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- WP:GLAM stands for "galleries, libraries, archives, and museums". A tourism board does not fit into any of those categories. The use of the shortcut seems misguided. MPS1992 (talk) 20:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Do see the Meta guidance on Wikipedian in Residence, and also see Wikipedians in residence, reward board in the COI guideline, which cites the Meta guidance for WiRs and brings it into the en-WP editing community's policies and guidelines. As the Meta document says, historically the WiR program grew from the GLAM program and they are closely related. But again, this is not about that. I will not be responding further. Jytdog (talk) 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Right, and the GibraltarpediaA thing did not involve any WiR either, correct? MPS1992 (talk) 20:40, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I hear it that it doesn't make sense to you but it was a GLAM/WIR program. Whether it should have been is another topic. Jytdog (talk) 22:09, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- The reason it doesn't make sense is that it doesn't appear to be true. Re-stating that you believe it's true doesn't change that, unless you can explain properly what you mean. "a GLAM/WiR program" that does not have a WiR and whose "host institution" is not a GLAM...? well, yes you don't seem able to explain it. Certainly it had some problems in how it was set up, but those problems seem not to be what you describe here. MPS1992 (talk) 22:18, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:GLAM/GibraltarpediA -- hosted in GLAM space. The CNET pieces also cites the GLAM/WiR aspect as does this Slate piece, this Forbes piece, etc. See also Category:Wikipedia GLAM in the United Kingdom where it is listed, UK REPORT: QRpedia in a pub; British Library music manuscripts; UK GLAM abroad (the latter referring to the section discussing Gibraltarpedia), etc etc. It was also discussed in the talk:DYK thread where the issues first surfaced. It was done under the rubric of GLAM. You cannot rewrite history. And in any case, again, that is the just the poster child for GLAM gone awry. The training materials for GLAM/WiRs are full of warnings against conflicted editing. See for example here and here. I am unaware of anything that reached the level of scandal of Gibraltarpedia (few things have); these programs are generally not problematic. I think the training is generally good in advising people not to edit about their host institution, but rather to use the resources to improve WP content. Which is why participants have the slack that they do with respect to paid editing and COI policies/guidelines.
- Probably the most disturbing thing to me in Pigonthewing's aggressive behavior, is that it doesn't respect that slack that is given to them but assumes it as some kind of "right". This is the kind of problematic behavior that could lead the community to start rethinking the lack of restrictions on these programs. Jytdog (talk) 23:01, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I haven't yet read all those items, but even from what has been said here, some of them are clearly incorrect. Separately,
These programs are generally not problematic
is something that probably you should have written somewhere close to the second sentence of your justification for a topic ban that you proposed when starting this thread, in which you try to frame the issue as one in which WiR/GLAM is a serious problem and (by implication) that is why Pigonthewing is a serious problem. These implications drag your argument down an unhelpful path. MPS1992 (talk) 23:08, 7 February 2018 (UTC) - Jytdog, Andy (Pigsonthewing) can be maddeningly persistent but he has a heart of solid gold and his commitment to Wikipedia is amazing.

- Guy thanks for your note; I appreciate that you find him to be a great Wikipedian. Yes he does a lot of great stuff, but his behavior at the Saidler article helping the paid editor was horrible. His doubling down (quadrupling down?) on the "Position" he took there makes it all that much worse and is spreading the damage, leaving articles that need review unflagged. I can understand how someone can be wired that way. If he is your friend would you please consider talking with him? He has set himself on a very bad road here. At this point I am looking for the community to restrain him, since he won't restrain himself. Maybe his friends can help him get off this bad road and forswear what he has been doing, and if so I will be happy to withdraw this. Jytdog (talk) 15:44, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

- I've just read through the discussions at Talk:Martin Saidler, which doesn't seem particularly problematic with regards to Pigsonthewing's behavior. Paul August☎ 20:36, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Please do see the diff series that is collapsed. At the request of a commercial paid editor (who was being paid to get the tag removed) Pigsonthewing edit warred to remove the tag, on the technicality that nothing was stated on the talk page when it was placed. There was a discussion ongoing about the tag, when he removed it. The article was a horrible piece of promotional crap. Removing the tag was just the paid editor's job - there was nothing there about the content; the client was just concerned about the aesthetics of the tag being there. The content was awful. Pigsonthewing's behavior was awful. Jytdog (talk) 20:41, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- They certainly haven't made a good case for a topic ban, true. But really I think Pigsonthewing needs to undertake to be less aggressive in defending the rights or points of view of COI editors, and less aggressive in directly altering Wikipedia-space and Template-space pages relating to COI. MPS1992 (talk) 21:06, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- fwiw i believe it is a decent case overall, or I wouldn't have brought it. The initial stripping of the Saidler tag (the edit warring should have drawn a block) to benefit a paid editor and not WP, the direct editing of relevant templates and guidelines, the bludgeoning of talk pages, the current POINTY campaign stripping tags, citing the exactly-contested language... Thanks in any case for seeing at least somewhat of a problem. Jytdog (talk) 22:13, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- POINTy campaigns are very unwise and need to stop. Edit warring is often best reported at WP:ANEW, especially if it seems to have gone unnoticed because it's on something in template space. Although, you were edit-warring too, so you would not be going there with clean hands. MPS1992 (talk) 22:33, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

- Comment The multiple claims by Andy that tagging an article in need of clean up is a BLP violation raises concerns for me regarding ability to work in this area.

- Comment - no real view at this point on most the above, but thanks for bringing the atrociously-promotional University of Ontario Institute of Technology page to my attention, which I have had a stab at cleaning up (before and after - [378]). Removing the COI and update tags was not appropriate - the article was raddled with COI and promotional issues, and it definitely hadn't been updated - it was still saying, for example, "(as of) 2012 there are 9203 students". Hiding behind 'it's not been discussed on the talk page so I can remove it' is extremely disingenuous. Fish+Karate 09:37, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Jytdog complaining about aggressive behaviour is clearly a case of WP:POT. Where there is a dispute, the best remedy is to get more editors involved, not less, so that a strong consensus can be formed. Andrew D. (talk) 10:06, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Comment the discussions surrounding this have been impressively tedious, but I echo Doc James in saying that the removal of COI tags simply because there is no discussion is pointy. Andy should know better than to blindly follow "rules" (does template documention even count as a "rule"?) rather than taking the time to see whether there are problems with an article. Now we have Mikhail Fridman written entirely by Earflaps without any mention of this. Yes, Doc James should/could have left a note on the talk page when he added the tag, but when we are dealing with large cases and facing a constant stream of crud, often tagging is the only thing which we have time to do. SmartSE (talk) 12:34, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- No, scattering tags around is not helpful because banner blindness means that they tend to stay there for years without any effect. Per WP:NPOVD, "Drive-by tagging is discouraged. The editor who adds the tag should address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort." Andrew D. (talk) 14:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Even if the COI is obvious? Does WP:DEADLINE apply to tags? I don't think this lawyering is helpful because we have that many contradictions in our policies and guidelines, not to mention IAR. - Sitush (talk) 14:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- In an ideal world yes, maybe, but in practice it is often either unneccessary (it's completely obvious from a glance at the article/history) or it's impractical (due to tagging 10+ articles by COI editors confirmed to create problematic content). If a tag has been placed there is good faith by an editor then someone removing it should at least look through the history or ask the tagger them why they placed it. Unlike other tags, it is also more speculative in terms of there being problems since it can take considerable time to establish whether or not there are problems as it is based more on the contributor rather than the content per se. SmartSE (talk) 15:22, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- User:Robert McClenon thanks for your comment here. Would you (or would you mind if I) refactor that to pull it out of the midst of mine? thx Jytdog (talk) 14:29, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- User:Jytdog - Go ahead and refactor if it is still clear after being moved. I think that the community and the WMF need to look more seriously at the risks of "good" paid editing being used to hide bad corrupt paid editing. (Notice that I didn't put 'bad' or 'corrupt' in quotes.) Robert McClenon (talk) 14:51, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Wanted to request someone to keep a short-term watch on User talk:Lalat14, who has inserted copyvio stuff across multiple articles. I've warned them, but they've not acknowledged any of the warnings, despite editing post my first few warning messages. I don't know if a block is feasible to ensure further disruption doesn't happen till the editor acknowledges they won't continue the copyvio; but I'll leave it to the discretion of the reviewing admin. (This is probably the same user as User:LalatSwain, who also edited some of the same pages a few months ago, and whose edits also contain copyvio). Thanks, Lourdes 12:33, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed. I came across Aali, Odisha that had tons of text copied from at least three different sources and tagged it, and at least twice they removed a little bit of it and claimed it was all removed when it wasn't.

Hi all. I was going through the block list (I had been linked there via an old RFC, but that's irrelevant) and I saw this block: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LmaololXD. The user made one edit (for which he was already warned by two users) and was then given an indefinite block for the one edit (which did not seem like pure trolling anyway). Perhaps it should just be a 24 hour block at most. Branchofpine, Have a chat, My edits 10:18, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Their edit was to Stephen, and an IP had just been blocked for making the exact same edits. Add to it the clearly NOTHERE username, looks like a good block to me--Jac16888 Talk 12:18, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, good block. We do block vandalism-only accounts indefinitely after just a few edits, Branchofpine. Or, as in this case, after just one, which was an attempt to publish something about a real person, which is always serious. (I really don't understand how you can think it's not pure trolling. It's the bad kind of trolling.) The idea, at least the way I've always taken it, is that it's better for the user (the person), after maturing or whatever — after finding that trolling/vandalism isn't the way to go — to create a new Wikipedia account and start afresh with a clean block log. That way they're discouraged from trailing the record of their childish vandalism with them for ever, in the form of a 24-hour block in the block log. This was typically childish vandalism, and I'd be surprised if the user isn't in fact a schoolchild talking about a couple of classmates. A very common thing, and yes, they're blocked. Bishonentalk 13:16, 10 February 2018 (UTC).

I made a mistake moving Fatih Arda İpcioğlu, which is correct, to Fatih Arda İpçioğlu, which is wrong, because I thought the correct surname should have a "ç" instead of a "c", which is grammatically the correct way in Turkish language. However, I learned that he writes his name with "c" instead of "ç". I kindly ask someone to restore it by deleting "Fatih Arda Ipcioğlu" to make way for moving "Fatih Arda İpçioğlu" to "Fatih Arda İpcioğlu", and finally deleting 1Fatih Arda İpçioğlu".

User appears to have made an account specifically for the purpose of doing unit conversions[380] but as in that diff seems to be prone to making errors (should be 7.5 miles not 7). I have tried to communicate on their talk page[381] about the {{convert}}
template but they do not seem to be reading the talk page, and have no email registered, and have proceeded to do even more extensive conversions[382] which, as with the others, I have tried to clean up[383].

Gagibgd vs Csknowitall and No such user at Serbia men's national water polo team
Serbia men's national water polo team (edit talk history protect delete links watch logs views) and Water polo at the Summer Olympics (edit talk history protect delete links watch logs views) have been subject of a slow-motion (and not so slow recently) edit war, chiefly by Gagibgd (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), since at least 2013. Here is his edit history on the article. Gagibgd persistently tries to include the records of Yugoslavia men's national water polo team, established in 1936, as an achievement of the Serbian team, without offering a single reference (the Serbian article is completely unreferenced). I tried to engage him at Talk:Serbia men's national water polo team#SFR Yugoslavian results, and Csknowitall at Talk:Water polo at the Summer Olympics to little avail. Only today he said anything on any talk page (mine is hardly the right place), citing the same document that I used to refute his claims. Anyway: this is admittedly a content dispute, but it can hardly be solved if he practically refuses to discuss the issue (or perhaps his English is insufficient to communicate): he has 0 (zero) contributions to Talk: namespace, and the only ones to User talk are in Serbian [384]. I'm at loss what to suggest... No such user (talk) 15:01, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Gagibgd turning up to revert this section is not a promising sign. @Gagibgd: Don't do that again. GoldenRing (talk) 15:17, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

- @Csknowitall: or we assume that they blanked it because WP:BLANKING says...they can? Be mindful: They may well have blanked this because of inexperience. It was, after all, their first edit to WP space ever, in five years :) >SerialNumber54129...speculates 15:24, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Although I agree that immediately filing a clearly retributory ANI isn't the best tactic either. (Now merged with this thread) >SerialNumber54129...speculates 15:33, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Serial Number 54129: Yes of course he can, no problem, but seeing his very recent edit wars and also deleting this post about him once, made me think he blanked his own talk page for the same reasons, that he don't want to get into trouble. Csknowitall (talk) 15:31, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Csknowitall: Sorry, didn't know that my page is relevant to this issue. There is nothing to hide, No such user left me a note where he disagrees with my edits, and that's it. Gagibgd (talk) 15:40, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with Serial Number 54129 - lets give others the benefit of the doubt and not jump to conclusions thinking that someone's edits are an attempt to hide information or cover anything up. It's not relevant and even if this were the intent, such information is never truly gone :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:07, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

No such user and Csknowitall constantly keep reverting edits about Serbia men's national water polo team and their results and medal tables based on no evidence. Serbia as a country, is widely considered as inheritor of Yugoslavia. This also counts for sports results. When Yugoslavia was breaking apart in 1992, all countries except Serbia and Montenegro requested to exit, and start from the beginning. Serbia and Montenegro (at that time known as FR Yugoslavia) was kept in SFR Yugoslavia, and was eventually renamed to FR Yugoslavia. FR Yugoslavia got legal continuity of SFR Yugoslavia, and that is a known fact. Even FINA, which is a main water polo organization in the world agrees with this, and here is evidence for that claim https://www.fina.org/sites/default/files/final_histofina_wp_2016_0.pdf. In football for example. FIFA considers Serbia as Yugoslavia inheritor, you can see that on the page Serbia national football team. So, how can one country be a successor of the other in some sports, or some competitions, and in some other not? That is just absurd.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gagibgd (talk • contribs)
- @Gagibgd: Again, you drag different federations into this. FIFA has nothing to do with water polo, so what they do with their own sport is up to them, and what FINA does is also up to them. You ask why one country can be successor in some sports, and in others not, well it's simple, it's up to the individual governing body on how they officially count medals and results. Some might give the medals to Serbia, and some don't, that's just the way it is. I also don't see why you drag UN into this, what exactly do they have to do with how sport federations count medals? Csknowitall (talk) 15:50, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Gagibgd: All I'm asking is that you start discussing, preferably at Talk:Serbia men's national water polo team. This page is not the place for debating the water polo issues, but for getting administrators' attention; feel free to copy the above text there and I will be happy to address it. When there is a dispute, we're supposed to follow Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, which boldly includes "Discuss with the other party" as a step. We might not reach an agreement, but then there are other steps. (And plase sign using four tildes, ~~~~) No such user (talk) 15:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm seconding No such user's comment here to Gagibgd. This needs to be discussed on the article's talk page. Discuss and resolve the dispute properly, and please keep in mind that there is no such thing as "fast" or "slow" edit warring of any kind - if you're making repeated reverts to an article in a back-and-fourth manner with another user and in-place of proper dispute resolution protocol, you're engaging in edit warring. The "three-revert rule" is just a blight-line rule to help "define a line" where, if violated, will almost always be interpreted as edit warring and where action is justified in order to stop it. It is a definition of what "a classic case of edit warring" is - it does not define the line between what is and is not edit warring. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:13, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Indonesian IP editing Indonesian badminton bios
User:Stvbastian made me aware of an IP editor geolocating to Jacarta (typically from the 114.124.*.* range), who edits biographies of Indonesian badminton players. Their connection is dynamic, and today they returned on 114.124.238.83 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), but remains unresponsive when approached. One hallmark of their edits, among others, is to remove the tournament category color codes used by WP:BADMINTON. Articles edited today include:
- Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo
- Marcus Fernaldi Gideon
- Anggia Shitta Awanda
- Ni Ketut Mahadewi Istirani
- Melati Daeva Oktavianti
- Hanna Ramadini
- Fitriani
What is the best way to reduce the workload in this case? Semi-protection? Sam Sailor 13:46, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
User returned on the same IP, continues the same editing pattern, and has been reported to AIV. Sam Sailor 14:50, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Sam Sailor - The IP distribution for this network is a /16, and it appears that there are edits from this range that aren't just made to people that are current badminton players. It does make me lift a brow (albeit slightly) to see that most of the edits from this range have been made to BLPs in that region, but that's normal given the geo-location. The fact that the edits are mostly made to BLP articles is definitely not enough for me to suspect or connect anything nor justify that the entire range should be blocked - it's much much too wide and the potential for collateral damage is higher than I want to typically see. I think that you're doing the right things: reporting users to AIV that repeatedly disrupt these articles, and requesting the articles that are the subject of frequent and repeated vandalism to RFPP to be protected. Until I see more evidence and diffs from more IPs so that I can try and find a sub-range to block that isn't as large or at risk of causing collateral damage, I think that what we're doing now is plenty good. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:35, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

- Mjbmr, MehrdadFR: Okay... both of you... the repeated back-and-fourth reverts and edit warring performed on Girl of Enghelab Street is definitely what I (nor any administrator) do not want to see on the edit history of an article - especially between editors who have been here for more than two years and are extended confirmed. That's absolutely against policy and you two know better than that :-). Dlohcierekim was extremely generous for protecting the article instead of blocking each of you for edit warring. I normally try to do the same and make sure each user is warned first and has continued with the disruption before blocking, but not all administrators here are that forgiving.

- Oshwah Can't you see the "history" of the article?, he has been editing out the "Background" section of the article which created by the user Persepolis1400, see this "diff":
- he was changing:
- "during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi the hijab was non-compulsory and a personal decision", ref: "El Guindi, Fadwa (1999). Veil: Modesty, Privacy and Resistance. Oxford; New York: Berg Publishers; Bloomsbury Academic. p. 3, 13-16, 130, 174-176. ISBN 9781859739242."
- to:
- "the Western dress code has been violently imposed by Reza Shah during his Kashf-e hijab campaign, and under his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi wearing of veil was no longer an offence, but for his regime it became a significant hindrance to climbing the social ladder as it was considered a badge of backwardness"
- which is not from the ref, also he was changing:
- "Some Iranian women in that time period wore some sort of headscarf or chador.", ref: "Abrahamian, Ervand (2008). A History of Modern Iran. Cambridge, UK; New York: Cambridge University Press. p. 84, 94-95. ISBN 9780521528917."
- to:
- "Despite all legal pressures and obstacles, the largest proportion of Iranian women continued to wear headscarves or chadors"
- which also is not from the reference, and the most important he was changing:
- "In 2018, a government run survey dating back to 2014, was released by President Hassan Rouhani which showed that 49.8% of Iranians are against compulsory or mandatory hijab.", ref: nytimes.com and post-gazette.com
- to:
- "In 2018, a government run survey dating back to 2014, was released by President Hassan Rouhani which showed that 2.2% of Iranians are against wearing of headscarf.", ref: css.ir
- as you can see he has changed "49.8%" to "2.2%", I read his reference, basically it shows the number of people against compulsory hijab raises each year and it has "49.2%" in table 1 and I don't see any "2.2%" which he is lying about the ref.

Ms Sarah Welch
MacDui has blocked MSW indefinitely as a suspected sock of AVC. He has posted notes at the SPI. I have closed the SPI just as I'm closing this discussion. There's nothing more to do unless MSW appeals the decision.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:10, 10 February 2018 (UTC) |

SPI-case
Lorstaking opened an SPI - Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ApostleVonColorado - alleging that Ms Sarah Welch (MSW) and others were socks of the long-silent ApostleVonColorado (AVC). AVC was topic banned in 2012; MSW commenced editing in 2013 after that ban had expired. A great deal of evidence has been presented at this investigation. As a patrolling admin, having assessed this situation as best I could I eventually concluded that:
- Ms Sarah Welch, Lisa.davis and Mark.muesse are all the same person and as a result Lisa.davis and Mark.muesse were indef blocked and tagged as socks of Ms Sarah Welch (both have long since ceased editing.)
- Ms Sarah Welch was then blocked for one week “pending further investigation of the relationship between that account and AVC".
Having reached that conclusion various other editors weighed in and as a result the issue is posted here for wider community input. Why? In a nutshell:
- "There's no way AVC would be entitled to a clean start."
- MSW is not without her critics but is also an editor who has made a significant contribution, including a claimed 59 DYKs and 12 GAs.
- The behavioural evidence of AVC and MSW being the same person is considerable (although not perhaps 100% certain).
- Assuming them to be one and the same, to quote Lorstaking: "It's a deliberate violation of policy... MSW has abused multiple accounts to make significant edits on same articles for years. MSW had to stick to AVC. MSW was aware that editing as AVC would take no time to face another topic ban or indef block on AVC account. That's why MSW used new accounts to avoid scrutiny and engage in same disruption as AVC." In other words, policy suggests that MSW should receive an indef block and the individual be allowed to start editing again as AVC.
- Without wishing to trivialise the problem in any way, such an outcome may be considered harsh by some, even taking a dim view of some of MSW’s more controversial actions e.g. continuing to edit war with one or more editors that AVC also disagreed with.
- Some contributing editors at SPI suggested that, given the unusual nature of the case, that a discussion be opened here for wider input.
I will unblock Ms Sarah Welch to allow further comment to be made here by that editor. Ben MacDui 18:53, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Just to address the clean start bit first: Clean Starts are able to be utilized by editors who have been problematic as long as they have recognized the issues and are not going to repeat them, and as long as the original account is not used. So I disagree with some of the comments that AVC was not entitled to a clean start. Everyone is entitled to a clean start when sanctions expire. Permission is not required. With the expectation under any new username that previous behavior is not repeated. As the other user's were created after the ban expired, and AVC never edited again, utilizing a clean start - ok, continuing to edit problematically in areas they were previously topic banned from - not ok. Is there evidence they have been problematic in the same topic area as their previous username? Only in death does duty end (talk) 19:06, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Comments
- Comment I don't think that ANI is a good venue to discuss this. It could be village pump where we could ask changes to sock puppetry policy but right now as per WP:SOCK, the indef block is only solution to this problem. Topic banned editors are not allowed to WP:CLEANSTART unless they have declared the account or they are editing the totally different article, but Ms Sarah Welch was violating this clean start since their first edit. As evidenced on SPI, a few things are clear here:-
- Ms Sarah Welch (MSW) created multiple accounts and was topic banned from all Caste articles for 6 months on ApostleVonColorado account on WP:ANI after filing a spurious complaint against Fowler&Fowler,[385] and it was obvious that the user would be subject to heavy scrutiny and the account would be topic banned again or indefinitely blocked given the continued problems with editing on same subject and continued WP:BATTLE mentality with same users (Fowler&Fowler in particular).
- WP:SOCK: creating new account "to avoid detection" is a violation of sock puppetry.
- MSW filed a spurious retaliatory SPI against me,[386] same thing that socks usually do when they realize that they are going to get blocked.[387][388] And also wikihounded my edits.
- Given the many problems with the editing (edit warring, bludgeoning, misrepresentation of sources, etc.) of MSW as detailed by other editor[389], the indef block for sock puppetry seems clearly alright even though sock puppetry is not about good or bad edits, but only the abuse of multiple accounts which is highly evident here.
- I am sure that we are not going to change policy on sock puppetry and unblock many accounts that have engaged in similar sock puppetry. Lorstaking (talk) 20:01, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support indef block or site ban. Making my formal vote after enough discussion with Ms Sarah Welch, who was previously finding loopholes in WP:SOCK for justifying their sock puppetry,[390] has now completely rejected any wrongdoing and alleged Ben MacDui and I of making bad judgement.[391] Such deception is unexpected from someone who is walking on a thin ice. Lorstaking (talk) 03:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support indef block I believe this is a violation of WP:CLEANSTART- over at the SPI, Lorstaking has presented evidence showing how MSW has continued AVC's feud against User:Fowler&fowler. The intent of WP:CLEANSTART is basically that
"editors who change accounts under the terms of fresh start are seeking exactly that, a fresh start...avoids association with disputes or poor behaviors that you might have been involved with under your former account"
. Given that MSW is editing in exactly the same area their old account got topic banned from and are targeting the same editors, this isn't a clean start. We're also forgetting the two other socks here- Lisa.davis and Mark.muesse who were editing at the same time as MSW. jcc (tea and biscuits) 20:32, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Now MSW has denied that link altogether, which is simply a barefaced lie, I now support an indef block. jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: what exactly is the purpose of this discussion? I see here a proposal to block them, with the following rationale:
- "Given the many problems with the editing (edit warring, bludgeoning, misrepresentation of sources, etc.) of MSW as detailed by other editor [392], the indef block for sock puppetry seems clearly alright even though sock puppetry is not about good or bad edits, but only the abuse of multiple accounts which is highly evident here."
- With other words: 'block the account for sock-puppetry, because there are "many problems with the editing (edit warring, bludgeoning, misrepresentation of sources, etc.)". That's two different things: either you block someone because of sock-puppetry, or beacuse of problematic editing. But you don't block soemeone for sock-puppetry, because you are of the opinion that their editing is problematic. If you want to block someone for problematic editing (apart from sock-puppetry), then you have to discuss this alleged problematic editing, and make clear why you think their editing is problematic. And regarding this allegation of problematic editing: MSW has made significant and valuable contributions to the project. If they've been topic-banned one time before, with another account, but never been blocked with their present account, then it seems to me that they've learned, and improved their behavior. Don't mix up arfguments, and provide sound arguments for the allegation of problematic editing. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- PS: regarding "Lorstaking has presented evidence showing how MSW has continued AVC's feud against User:Fowler&fowler", such an allegation needs more than the selected examples given by Lorstaking. Don't forget that there are more experienced editors on India-related articles, some of whom think highly of her, and didn't have the kind of problems with her Lorstaking is referring to. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Um, no, it doesn't matter who presents the diffs, but rather the content of the diffs, which I judge, as a completely involved editor in the India caste article sphere to show MSW continuing with AVC's agenda against Fowler&fowler, against the spirit of WP:CLEANSTART. More diffs are available on the SPI, but this isn't a point to be disputed. However, the point of whether MSW is a constructive editor, constructive enough that the past SOCKING can be ignored is, hence why I suggested taking this to AN. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:32, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. Ben MacDui's suggestion seems to be that "policy suggests that MSW should receive an indef block and the individual be allowed to start editing again as AVC." That's different from blocking AVC/MSW altogether indef. There have been cases of abuse which were much more serious, and where nevertheless the editor in question did get a second chance. MSW is a valuable editor, I think; and I think I can speak with some authority, given my contributions to the project and the topic-area. So, openness about the accounts, block of all of them but one, and a severe warning should suffice. Though, personally, an explanation would also be welcome, and help to restore faith and trust. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 21:38, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Now that MSW's response has been already seen and it is highly problematic. Still, MSW will get another chance too just like everyone else, after getting indeffed for socking and spending some time off-Wikipedia realizing what they did wrong. Imposition of a topic ban upon return will make the request better, just like it happened with all those who got "second chance". Lorstaking (talk) 03:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

- Comment This is a tricky case. I suggest a bit of WP:IAR might be needed. You're dealing with a long term, and overall valuable, albeit controversial, contributor. Policy probably demands indef, although you express (minor) doubt about the AVC connection. Perhaps a long block, but not indef, with it being quite clear that any further violation of policy would result in indef? That way you may keep a valuable contributor around, with no more policy violation. If you're right about the SPI thing, an indef block would probably just result in another account. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 21:41, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support indef block Noone actually doublechecks MSW's extensive edits. MSW doesn't even understand that Brahman can be an alternative spelling of Brahmin. See here. When her own sources talk about "brahmans", brahmans refers to human beings. She doesn't understand any of this. I really question her WP:COMPETENCE. And with all due respect to my good friend Joshua Jonathan, English is not his first language and he doesn't doublecheck MSW's edits.VictoriaGraysonTalk 22:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- This is actually a good point. I've tried to check some in the past and found it virtually impossible to come to the same paraphrase etc but I've mostly assumed that MSW has a better grasp of the technical terms than me (even when I have been very dubious, so perhaps AGF'ing too far). Plus I really could do without getting into a really long wrangling match of the type that Fowler&fowler has routinely had to suffer. - Sitush (talk) 22:52, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Just to say that that I have inter-acted with MSW a fair deal in recent months, on Indian art and architecture articles - Hindu temples mostly - I think she has only fairly recently moved to edit in that area. She is certainly a useful editor there, partly because she is good at clearing the thickets of dubious unreferenced or poorly referenced material that has accumulated on many temple articles. We have had our differences for sure, but she is a net positive. Without having often directly checked her use of sources (I usually have sources covering the same ground, but not always the same ones), I'd say her use of them is generally good, and neutral. She is certainly very insistent on referencing. If there are consistent problems here, it should be possible to produce examples. Johnbod (talk) 00:52, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for admitting you don't doublecheck her edits. In addition to the example I already provided, here is an example of her confusing a fictional discourse of the Buddha with actual history. Here is a rare admission that she confused a statement of a scholar with being a quote from the Bhagavad Gita. VictoriaGraysonTalk 01:42, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Well, I checked the link you gave; MSW made a propsal there for a textual change, including a reference. This was in response to your previous response, which said "You state that "dwells in all things and in whom all things dwell" is a direct quote of Krishna. This is false." What kind of wrongdoing do you see there, except for disagreeing with you? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- In her article edit, she said "dwells in all things and in whom all things dwell" was a quote from the Bhagavad Gita. The source didn't say anything like this. This is about WP:COMPETENCE.VictoriaGraysonTalk 07:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

- I'm the administrator who imposed the topic ban in 2012. I'm not hugely familiar with the history since then, but it seems the editing patterns which led to said topic ban haven't recurred. The block is reasonable, and should be allowed to run its course. After that there are no active sanctions, which is the, but any future sanction discussions should be properly cognizant of both this episode and what happened in 2012. There's enough potential upside and scrutiny that it'll be easy to reblock/reban as necessary. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 02:50, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- With all due respect, scrutiny doesn't work with this editor. As documented by others, she doesn't listen to anyone. And again, noone actually checks the extensive edits she makes.VictoriaGraysonTalk 02:55, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm thinking in relative terms to 2012. If those more familiar with current history disagree, I wouldn't stand in the way of anything. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 03:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- My (limited) experience with Ms Sarah Welch is similar to that of Sitush. I'm not aware of the technicalities of wikipolicy here, but I agree with the principle that the meting out of sanctions on prolific contributors should be exercised with lenience. In this case however, I don't think that such favour should be extended without first undertaking a very careful and detailed examination of a sample of their content contributions. – Uanfala (talk) 04:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I did check some of her sources at Advaita Vedanta; although I think she has a certain pro-AV bias, the sources were accessible, and we could argue about various matters, and reach greements. As I said before, a block for disruptive editing needs a more thorough argumentation than a limited couple of examples from a total of 28.000 or so edits. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 07:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - Assuming that AVC has opened all these accounts after the expiration of their topic ban, the issues are whether AVC was entitled to a WP:CLEANSTART and whether MSW has continued the same kind of disruptive behaviour as AVC. Neither of these is clear to me. Bbb23 has stated that AVC was not entitled to a clean start. However, WP:CLEANSTART states,
Any user in good standing who has no unexpired sanctions, and who is not being or about to be formally discussed for their conduct, may have a clean start.
This seems to suggest that a CLEANSTART was permitted under the timeframe we are dealing with. Regarding the continuation of disruptive behaviour, I don't see that either. MSW has done considerable good work, winning the admiration of many of us, and has accumulated plenty of successful GA nominations. Granted that she clashed with Fowler&fowler, particularly at the cow-protection and cow-slaughter articles. That clash was quite unavoidable given their respective positions. I didn't see any of them particularly "picking a fight" for no reason. Vanamonde93 has mediated that discussion and I participated for part of it. None of us thought that there was disruptive behaviour from either side. So, frankly, I don't see a case for any action. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:52, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- That's a misrepresentation of WP:CLEANSTART which says, "However, if an editor uses their new account to resume editing articles or topics in the same manner that resulted in a negative reputation in the first place (becoming involved in disputes, edit warring or other forms of disruptive editing), the editor will probably be recognized and connected to the old account. Changing accounts to avoid the consequences of past bad behaviors is usually seen as evading scrutiny and may lead to additional sanctions." And "it is best to completely avoid old topic areas after a clean start. If you have a favorite topic that you wish to edit, it may be better to continue using the old account, clean up your behavior, and rebuild your reputation the hard way." Policy on clean start is completely opposite to what you think. Lorstaking (talk) 11:41, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- She seems to have managed quite ok until now without being recognized. Then she ran into you, who has had so much interaction with AVC that you instantly said, "aha, there he is!" In any case, nothing says that if she has been recognized, she should be blocked. We block people for abusing multiple accounts, typically by using them simultaneously, or for block evasion. AVC had a time-limited topic ban, which they sat out. At the end of that they were free to come back with full privileges. If they chose to come back with a new account with vastly improved behaviour, though that is not the choice I myself would make, I would regard it as passable. Not even Fowler&fowler, who has had major battles with both the parties, connected them to each other. His assessment was, as reported by Ben MacDui, AVC was "confrontational" whereas MSW was "coldly polite". That is the clearest demonstration that there was marked improvement of behaviour. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:11, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Your comment has only made my policy-based argument stronger. I can understand that anyone would lack any rational basis when they are making arguments against the policy that has been violated big time. You should better provide examples where the sock was exonerated because the person socked with multiple accounts after abandoning main account due to sanctions. People are always blocked after they are caught switching to a new account for editing same articles as the previous account. MSW created Lisa.davis in 2012 and never declared the account and edited same articles as these socks and AVC until this month. MSW is still not revealing the list of all accounts and claiming to be truly flawless and rid of socking which shows a massive amount of incompetence and deception. Fowler apparently regards MSW to be worse than AVC by saying, "I have not met such editors in a very long time, probably not since 2007".[393] MSW made Fowler recall the happenings of Caste article where AVC was most disruptive.[394] You are misrepresenting both Ben MacDui and Fowler, because according to Fowler, AVC was "overtly polite".[395] MSW continued same senseless battles by evading scrutiny. Then we also have other spurious reports made by MSW worse than the one that led topic ban on AVC. According to every bit of evidence, there has been no improvement, only deterioration in behavior. Lorstaking (talk) 03:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Regarding "According to every bit of evidence, there has been no improvement, only deterioration in behavior", you seem to be ignoring a lot of commentaries here, by longtime-editors who regard MSW a productive editor with valuable contributions to the project. Nevertheless, policies are clear (emphasis mine):
WP:INDEF: "An indefinite block is a block that does not have a definite (or fixed) duration. Indefinite blocks are usually applied when there is significant disruption or threats of disruption, or major breaches of policy. In such cases an open-ended block may be appropriate to prevent further problems until the matter can be resolved by discussion. As with all blocks, it is not a punishment. It is designed to prevent further disruption, and the desired outcome is a commitment to observe Wikipedia's policies and to stop problematic conduct in future. Indefinite does not mean infinite: an indefinitely blocked user may later be unblocked in appropriate circumstances."
- The logical course here seems to be that MSW is being blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Lisa.davis. The accusations of disruptive editing are irrelevant for that decision, and only obscure the discussion. After being blocked, a request to be unblocked can be made, and eventually a request to continue editing as MSW (it may be wise to check if the password of this Lisa.davis account is still available?) In that discussion, arguments about alleged "disruptive editing" can be discussed. As I said before, I will support an unblock-request. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:58, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- MSW disagrees with you per own comments here, that Ben MacDui made false connection with Lisa.davis and "not provided evidence", that's why there is really no doubt that the behavior has only worsened and it continues. AVC is the actual sockmaster here, who used the same images that had been uploaded with his account Lisa.davis on same day, back in 2012 (see SPI). Second choice is Lisa.davis. All accounts are accessible, one has to log in into a Wikimedia project where they never logged in before and the account will be accessible in Wikipedia again. See Help talk:Logging in.

- Support Block Per the evidence presented in SPI and comments here. I do believe they pick a fight and often takes a confrontational stand. We have in the past blocked socks, who have made very good articles, which we have deleted. We cannot and have not given SP a pass because they make good articles.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- If making good articles is not relevant for being blocked as a sock, then "pick a fight and often takes a confrontational stand" also isn't relevant for being blocked as a sock-puppeteer (it's only relevant when socks are being used for these fights). Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:58, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, JJ. I respectfully disagree. If you re-read Ben MacDui's referral at the top, it is clear that MacDui is asking for community's input on whether MSW is a sock of AVC and whether it is a violation of cleanstart. So taking a confrontational stances similar to those of AVC would constitute both evidence of socking as well as violation of cleanstart. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:01, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

- Comment Since I've been pinged, I feel duty-bound to comment here, but I haven't the time to evaluate the behavioral evidence. So I will proceed under the assumption that AVC and MSW are the same person, and if time proves me wrong, well and good.
I've had significant interactions with MSW, including, as has been mentioned above, my trying to mediate a conflict between MSW and F&F. In this conflict, their behavior was not perfect, by any means; their attitude towards F&F, in particular, leaves something to be desired. Nonetheless, I do believe that the account MSW is fundamentally here to build an encyclopedia. Indeed, their behavior is far less of a problem than that of several other participants here, who really do require further community scrutiny.
As to what to do now: to reiterate, MSW's current behavior may not be ideal, but isn't blockable. They are not, at the moment, abusing multiple accounts, and have clearly not done so for a while. I'm inclined to think that they were not entitled to a clean start; but blocks are meant to be preventive, not punitive. Is there any evidence that re-blocking would prevent any disruptive behavior? None that I can see. The most productive way out of this mess, therefore, is to clarify the rule around clean starts to MSW, formally warn them that this new account was a problem, and make it clear that any future miss-steps in this direction will be met harshly, as they've received plenty of warning.

- Comments and proposal: I apologize for the tardy reply. To avoid creating a text wall, I will leave many of the comments above unanswered, just try to address some of the issues raised as I understand them, and propose possible solutions along the lines of some suggestions proposed above. My goal is to propose a way forward, a way that is constructive and in line with the aims of the project of building a free encyclopedia. I will then make some closing statements.
- [1] There is a question about whether my contributions to Africa-space articles and Caste systems in Africa, during the Africa Destubathon Initiative, escaped scrutiny. That is not the case. Please review the talk and talk-archive pages of Oromo people with participation from Doug Weller (see archive 2 etc as well), Amhara people, Somali (see sections 7-10 and archives), and the nearly 80-100 articles I edited in the Africa-space. The scrutiny was intense, sources were checked, admins intervened, and one case ended up with the ARB-committee. The content I added to caste systems of Africa was predominantly copied from those articles, with a note in the edit summaries stating that the content is copied from Africa space articles ([396], [397] (an admin and I discussed this article, fwiw), [398], [399], etc). That is scrutinized content.
- [2] I welcome further scrutiny. I propose Lorstaking or anyone interested to identify a list of articles that they believe may not have received scrutiny. I promise to collaborate with them, line by line, one scholarly source after another, in order to address any concerns and further improve those articles (but please do see the talk pages of the articles where that content was scrutinized and copied from; you may also wish to see my comments/cited sources on few other talk pages in 2016 and 2017, such as this, comments made before the SPI case was filed).
- [3] There have been vague allegations made by Lorstaking on the SPI page about "disruption" by me. I request that Lorstaking should stop casting aspersions. If they believe disruption has occurred, they should be able to identify the article, specific edit diffs and explain the disruption caused. If they were to make such good faith effort, I promise I will work with them to review the scholarly sources in order to improve the articles.
- [4] I attest that I do not have a sock or alternate account. I have only edited wikipedia from password protected networks in 2016, 2017 and 2018. I have never shared my wikipedia password with anyone, nor attempted to abuse wikipedia with sock accounts. Ben MacDui has spent a "long time" on this by his own statement. I do not want to spend my time or energy on this, nor of Ben or anyone else. That is not why I participate in wikipedia. My predominant interest remains in collaboratively contributing to the project, and contributing content that relies on peer-reviewed mainstream scholarly publications and equivalent reliable sources to the best of my abilities.
- [5] I promise to continue using password protected networks in future, never create alt accounts. If I ever do create an alt account for reasons explicitly allowed by wikipedia policies, I promise to inform an admin first.
- I am open to any additional constructive suggestions that will allow us to focus on the future and redirect our energies towards building an encyclopedia.
- I thank Ben for temporarily lifting the ban so I could submit this reply. Now that I have done so, I accept one week, one month, one year or indefinite block if the community feels that wikipedia project and its aims would be best served by such an action. I promise to respect the decision, without contest, with love and compassionate respect. Thank you. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 22:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch: Please identify all previous accounts operated by you.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:38, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch: Your response has not addressed any of the issues or mistakes, it is only speaking of more problems. Do you know that this thread is not about what you contributed to African ethnicity articles? You had to reply to the concerns raised by editors regarding your edits on Indian articles. I don't think these editors have checked your edits to African ethnicity articles, however I should mention the link provided by Capitals00 on SPI, that you had filed a spurious ANI report[400] against Soupforone who participated in these African articles with you. Though your report was TLDR, there was no evidence of any misconduct, and same was the case with your report against Fowler&Fowler that you filed with ApostleVonColorado account.[401] Although this time you went far ahead with this spurious report by proposing sanctions against Soupforone and proposed siteban("indef-ban") for GabiloveAdol, but your proposal received no support.[402] Clearly there has been no improvement in your behavior, but deterioration.
- We have already observed how you "collaborate with them, line by line", given the mass bludgeoning on talk pages and bragging that other editor lack enough credibility because they don't have as many "edits" and/or they are "new" to Wikipedia[403][404] even after editing for months. Your proposal is exactly what standard practice are supposed to be, and you have failed to abide by them during your multiple innings. That's why your proposal is troublesome.
- Are you actually sure that I am "casting aspersions"? I had already provided diff to the problems that I have mentioned above, and the linked diff in turn links to dozens of assessment of your behavior. Do you really want an argument over that? You seem to be claiming that everyone is wrong and they need a specific argument with you to actually prove that you are causing disruption.
- I am not finding any reason for believing your claims that you never used any other accounts during 2016-2018. It seems that you have plans to create "alt account" and you "promise to inform an admin first". Seems like you still don't understand the policy on multiple accounts, or you are deliberately misleading. I am also not getting that why you are saying that you have been editing with "password protected networks" since 2016. It is suspicious and it indicates there's much more to know about your sock puppetry. No one has claimed that you used or may have used insecure networks during these 7 years. It is rather obvious that you have used more socks.
- Since your behavior has only worsened in these many years, it would be ignorant to think that you would improve overnight. Take some time off Wikipedia. I have routinely stopped editing Wikipedia after I felt that it is getting too much. I am also aware of the fact that you criticize inactivity and finds it suspicious, but that's an incorrect approach and you have to change it. Lorstaking (talk) 04:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch: Please identify all previous accounts operated by you.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:38, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Bbb23: None. The CU team is welcome to run a checkuser on me. If sockpuppetry is confirmed, please indef block me immediately. Of course, this is not a permission to anyone to disclose my personal identifying information and I request that my privacy be safeguarded per wikipedia policies. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 08:58, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Ben MacDui: In early January, when I last responded to the SPI case, there was only one accused. More accusations were added later. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 08:58, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch: The case opened against you was difficult from the beginning. I had never heard of Lorstaking, and my limited interaction with you was administrative and was positive. However, some of your responses at the SPI were odd, more like a person who had socked and was trying to find loopholes in the policy or in other policies, e.g., CLEANSTART. Then Lorstaking added two more accounts, both of which, like AVC, had not edited for years, and MacDui made a finding that you operated those two accounts. At that point, MacDui had different options as to what to do. The course he chose was not what I would have picked. I would have blocked you indefinitely as a sock of Lisa.davis, the oldest account (MacDui never made a finding that you were a sock of AVC). It would have then become your burden, as it normally is in other cases, to request an unblock. Nonetheless, a couple of days after MacDui's one-week block, you posted your comments here. My interpretation of them was that you were implicitly acknowledging that you had other accounts in the past, but, again as in most cases, for you to continue editing here I asked you for an explicit admission and for a list of the previous accounts. Now, surprisingly, at least to me, you deny any socking. Usually, in these circumstances, one of two things can occur: a clerk or other administrator can do their own analysis of your and the other accounts' behavior, and either agree or disagree with MacDui. If they disagree, they should of course explain why. If that either doesn't happen or doesn't result in an unblock, you can then take the request to ArbCom. Unfortunately, at least from my perspective, this is playing out at ANI instead of your Talk page. Although some of the editors in this thread have touched on the socking issue, it's as much a review of whether your edits as MSW have been constructive or not, which, again, in my view, is only partly what this is all about. There's very little I can do about this any more. Until you posted your comments, I had intentionally not commented here, although I did point out some of the oddities to MacDui on his Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:17, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Bbb23: Please do the checkuser on me, please. Clear me or indef block me based on technical findings. I am clueless about checkuser, networks, IPs, etc. If the SPI team is not going to do a checkuser on me because of some wikipedia policy, please state so and confirm that technical evidence on this case will not be available. I will then respond to the rest. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 16:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch: You are not in a position to dictate what should or shouldn't be done. If you have more to say in response "to the rest", do so.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:54, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Bbb23: In that case, I submit the following,
- I have answered your question above.
- In December 2017, when Lorstaking filed this SPI case, they had just around 500 edits, mostly minor in my view. Just like you, I had never heard of Lorstaking. I thought we were dealing with a newbie who did not understand the SPI process. I made mistakes in my initial assumptions and reply. My last response on the case was on January 8 2018 when the case was less complex than the one Ben MacDui finally reviewed in late January.
- A scan of Ben MacDui review efforts suggest that Ben prepared his initial case review notes in his sandbox and then transferred them. I will only comment on my account, not the rest of Ben's analysis. According to Ben, he took a long look and while he found evidence, he found no unequivocal link between AVC and me. I have read Ben's analysis of MM and I, LD and I. Ben has not provided evidence of "unequivocal link" for either.
- Ben may have, I believe, relied on misleading edit diffs, presented by Lorstaking to push the sock-POV. For example, [405] and [406] were alleged evidence. The truth is that there was a systematic attempt to plug POV such as "Hinduism is the eternal right way of life, the sanataria [sic] Dharma" and the Woodhead book across many wikipedia articles, over many weeks. Other editors and I undid these several times. This has nothing to do with socking. Every link that Lorstaking alleges as evidence of socking has a similar innocent explanation. Please look at my edits not in isolation, but across articles and over time. Please look at what content was removed, revised or restored by me, and whether it was reasonable under wikipedia's content policies and what the cited source states. We gather here to build an encyclopedia. Measure my edits and my actions based on that standard. (For comments on Capitals00's views, see my reply at 08:58 today on this ANI page.)
- I have suggested a proposal above to move forward and move on. I hope the reviewing admins will study the evidence, ask if the evidence is unequivocal, if there is an innocent explanation, and whether I have disrupted and abused wikipedia in any way. Then take action. If I can be of assistance in this process, please contact me by wikipedia email. I thank you and all who have commented above, on all sides of this matter. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 19:50, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch: You either don't get it or you're being obtuse. MacDui found that you operated two accounts previously, Lisa.davis and Mark.muesse. MacDui never found that you operated AVC. You're wearing me out with your evasive comments.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ms Sarah Welch: Bbb23 has seen me before and before this SPI I had pinged Bbb23 for help on Tyler Durden SPI,[407] given that he is a busy CheckUser, I can understand that he has not recalled me, but you are being deceptive as usual with this baseless claim you are making today that you never heard of me, regardless of the fact that you participated in same disputes as me, much before this SPI.[408][409] With 500 edits I could expose your sockpuppetry but how come you (having over 28,000 edits and over 7 years of sock puppetry experience) still lack any WP:COMPETENCE? "I thought we were dealing with a newbie who did not understand the SPI process"? I think you mean me and Bbb23 were dealing with a deceptive sock like you who attempted to fabricate the evidence by claiming that you have no overlap with AVC, sock puppetry is not disruption, AVC was allowed clean start and many other misleading claims that you made.[410][411]
What this Dharma[412], Sikhism[413] diffs got anything to do with the concerns raised about your disruptive editing here?
You have made no proposal but barely highlighted what every editor is supposed to do, and that you can't be trusted at all with your deceptive behavior which is further evidenced by your fabrication below where you tried to hijack an ANI report made by a different user and before your spurious ANI report that did nothing. Don't you think that you are only giving us more reasons to get rid of you? Lorstaking (talk) 22:14, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Ms Sarah Welch: If you're denying that you operated Lisa.davis and Mark.muesse, which were judged by an admin at SPI to have been operated by you, then quite frankly given this bare faced lie, and the attempt to derail the discussion below, I now support an indef block. jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:11, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Checkuser is not going to find any socks that you have abused more than more than 3 months ago. You will have to disclose all those accounts that you have abused for more than 7 years. You have been already told, but it is really hard to make you understand. Lorstaking (talk) 10:06, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Lorstaking: Once again you post a wall of text with distorted claims. Lets take just two of your edit diffs. This you allege is my "issue and mistake". The User:Trankhalya added to wikipedia's high traffic main article on Buddhism this forum-y nonsense / vandalism, along with unsourced content such as "In buddhism, can be seen as a way to fulfill others by spreading a good greed to our society". I reverted this and then posted a message on their talk page that this is inappropriate. You give this as an example of "my issue and mistake" on ANI board?!!! Now consider the second example. You agree with Capitals00 about the GabiloveAdol-EthiopianHabesha case related to Horn of Africa space articles. You allege this as an example of frivolous complaint by me. The case actually was supported by others, progressed further, ultimately led to a topic ban, the ban was appealed, and the admins denied the appeal. If Capitals00 and you are criticizing multiple editors and multiple admins for that topic ban, this is not the right thread to do so. Your other edit diffs are similarly misleading and misinformed. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 08:58, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Are you still not done of falsely labeling other's comments as wall of text?[414] Per WP:WALLOFTEXT, there should be "with a mass of irrelevant kilobytes". Can you find any in my comment? You are making irrelevant comments on the conduct of Trankhalya, and ignoring the point that he was not a new editor, but an autoconfirmed user editing for months and already well aware of the policies. What about other examples? I am talking about the complaint that you had filed against GabiloveAdol and Soupforone,[415] not about the complaint that was filed by a different user regarding EthiopianHabesha, days before your frivolous one.[416][417] How much your "case was actually supported by others"? Was Soupforone sanctioned? Was GabiloveAdol sitebanned? Because that is what you expected and demanded but others found no misconduct and no one was sanctioned. Don't you think that people would be at least asking for a topic ban against you from filing any more complaints on ANI if you had filed it from ApostleVonColorado, or they would be seeking a topic ban on you from African articles just like the topic ban you had from caste after you had filed a complaint against Fowler on ANI? I am astonished that you are still defending such a "frivolous complaint". Lorstaking (talk) 10:06, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support indef block - problematic editor who doesn't seem to get it, can't trust her. GiantSnowman 09:08, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support indef block - I have inter-acted MSW in several articles and my experience was negative. MSW hates to admit any faults, contributes without having knowledge of the subject and frequently resorts to deliberate obfuscation. Alleged good contributions are not a free pass for socking and breaching trust. Raymond3023 (talk) 12:44, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- I see contributions in MSW's history that clearly improve the project. Per NOTBURO I have no problems with their participation. Mr Ernie (talk) 16:32, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Would you like to also share that how carefully have you checked those contributions? Because MSW can't even understand very basic policies, let alone understanding philosophical texts where MSW ends up misrepresenting the subject as discussed above. Lorstaking (talk) 17:08, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Site ban proposal
Withdrawn. Lorstaking (talk) 10:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC) |
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
It was already noted here and also on the filer's talk page[418] that ANI is not a good venue for deciding the outcome of an SPI and we should abide by the standard practice and policies.
In this report, different opinions have been offered, most have supported indef block while some have suggested different measures for dealing with this disruption. Situation has changed since the comments from the concerning editor, Ms Sarah Welch (sock of ApostleVonColorado), claiming that they are truly flawless. This incident has rather confirmed the validity of the policy, that why multiple account abusers of this kind are indeffed.
We are here talking about an editor who is socking for over 7 years and had faced a topic ban after an extensive discussion on ANI in 2012.[419] Regardless of the fact that not even one editor doubted evidence of the sock puppetry, MSW is making efforts to claim that they have never socked. The outright rejection of sock puppetry has led some editors to support something harsher.[420][421] But it is clear now that nothing is going to change the behavior of MSW. MSW has made outrageous claims that I provided "misleading edit diffs", to "push the sock-POV", as the evidence of sock puppetry and the blocking admin "may have, I believe, relied on misleading edit diffs", and the admin "has not provided evidence of "unequivocal link" for either" WP:DUCK account.[422]
Bbb23 has said "you either don't get it or you're being obtuse",[423] above. But MSW has chosen to stand alone, claiming the opposite that no evidence of sock puppetry exists, not only here but also recently on their own talk page.
Such a deceptive approach has made me sure that a site ban is more suitable measure for this problem than wasting any more time. Hence, I am proposing site ban. Socks of ApostleVonColorado that are listed on the SPI would remain indeffed per standard practice and policies. The user can request unban from ApostleVonColorado after some time has elapsed, which is generally no less than 1 year.
- Support as proposer. Lorstaking (talk) 05:49, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- There is a lot of material above to digest, and I have not taken it all in, but I am slightly concerned about the statement "The behavioural evidence of AVC and MSW being the same person is considerable (although not perhaps 100% certain)" (emphasis added) as a basis for a site ban.
- I should say that my past interactions with MSW have been good, and mostly in the Horn of Africa topic area, which is notoriously difficult, so perhaps I don't come to this with neutral eyes. However, I see the GabiloveAdol case mentioned above as evidence against MSW, but my recollection of that case was that GabiloveAdol started a frivolous SPI case against MSW (admins might want to look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ms Sarah Welch - I don't remember the precise details). See also User talk:GabiloveAdol#Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ms Sarah Welch. I don't know much about MSW's editing in other areas, but I have long suspected that there is something fishy going on when it comes to Horn of Africa articles, and MSW has been a victim, not a guilty party, of that in the past. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:50, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Please stick to the correct facts: MS is not "an editor who is socking for over 7 years"; as far as this SPI is concerned, she's been using three accounts for a couple of months a couple of years ago for a limitd number of edits, after which she sticked to one account. MSW denies the correctness of these findings; I think that Bbb23 has painted the right course in a situation like this. I'll support an unblock-request, given her contributions to the project. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 09:04, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - As mentioned in previous discussions, I don't see any abuse of multiple accounts, which is what we call "Sockpuppetry". I also believe that AVC was entitled to a WP:CLEANSTART after the expiry of their topic ban. I do not find it troubling that MSW has not admitted to her previous accounts because that is what CLEANSTART is all about. Given her high level of contributions in quality and quantity, MSW is a net positive to Wikipedia. I would wish her to remain. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:11, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose--Nah...We have tolerated much worse.~ Winged BladesGodric 09:17, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - grossly excessive, we should be focused on the content, not the contributor. Fish+Karate 09:47, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Extremely excessive, even if the short-term socking is provable. Ms Sarah Welch convincingly, in my opinion, fulfills the forgiving spirit, and quite possibly the letter of the law, of WP:Clean Start. While our interaction has been minimal or zero, I frequently see her edits on articles I watch relating to Indian religion. These are very difficult articles to keep free from drive-by editors adding unreferenced bias, opinion, local beliefs, or worse. Losing MSW would be a great loss to the quality of many articles. First Light (talk) 10:35, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Re-analysis proposal
@Bbb23: if I understand you correctly, you are saying that:
- you would have blocked MSW as a sock of Lisa.davies;
- you would also have blocked Lisa.davies, for being a sock-puppeteer;
- now that the case has been taken to ANI, and MSW denies any connection to Lisa.davies and other accounts, they should nevertheless be blocked (but you're not the one who's going to do that now?);
- being blocked, another clerk or administrator can analyse the case again:
- if they disagree with MacDui, they explain why, and MSW might be unblocked;
- if they agree, MSW will still be blocked, and then MSW can take it to ArbCom with an unblock-request.
- alternately, being blocked, no clerk or administrator may be willing to make a second analysis, MSW remains blocked, and she can take it to ArbCom to request to be unblocked.
So, who's to judge now about the actions to be taken? Any administrator who comes along, and thinks this discussion has been going on long enough? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:21, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
PS: I'd like to suggest that this thread be closed; that another clerk or admin, with due experience with SPI-cases, re-evaluate the SPI-case in question; and that the standard-procedures for dealing with sock-puppetry are being followed. Any discussion about the quality of MSW's editing can be postponed until after such a re-evaluation. I'd also like to suggest that Lorstaking stops complaining on behalf of Fowler&fowler about the interactions between MSW and Fowler&fowler, and about hypothetical blocks for disruptive editing which have not happened so far on MSW's account. It's up to Fowler&fowler to make complaints about that; I'm sure he's perfectly capable to do so, if necessary. Let's keep the discussion focussed in due order on the relevant points. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 08:19, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks to all for this input, which I have found helpful. I am now going to return to the SPI where I will communicate the conclusions I have reached. In other words, in answer to the above question I agree that the discussion has gone on long enough and I believe the onus is on me to conclude the case. If anyone finds the outcome unsatisfactory (and given the diverse opinions expressed it would be surprising if everyone was happy) then of course opprtunities exist for a re-evaluation. Ben MacDui 10:56, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Even though people are allowed to file report in behalf of others on here or other noticeboards, I have just mentioned disputes with Fowler as part of strong similarities with MSW and AVC, and MSW didn't used AVC anymore for obvious reasons. Talking about problems with the edits or importance as an editor was always irrelevant, but MSW still claims that problematic editing, not socking, should be the foundation of SPI. As for this discussion, it has run it's course. Lorstaking (talk) 11:05, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
