Question for administrator

The article on Megaman lighting company has repeatedly been edited by user:Megaman Global (diff list below), adding the same promotional material, copyrighted material from the Megaman sites, unsourced material, and undoing useful edits by bots. Their edits to this article seem to be consistently disruptive and they also seem to be a user who "both adopts a promotional username and also engages in inappropriately promotional behaviors in articles about the company, group, or product" (WP:CORPNAME).

Another editor recently added a note to their talk page about their re-uploading deleted images, but there aren't any about their other edits. I haven't added any or raised the issue on a specific noticeboard because I am unsure how to deal with multiple issues. I'm a very new user, so I am not sure exactly how this sort of thing is handled, but the addition of copyrighted material and the repeated reverts/re-addition of the inappropriate material leads me to believe this probably needs attention from an administrator.

• Copypasting copyrighted promotional material (Copied from Megaman's 'About' page)
• Adding back in previous material & more promotional material
• More promotional material, particularly the first paragraph
• Promotion-ish? & unsourced material
• Reverting to add back in most of their previously added material

I am not an administrator, or even a complete Wikipedia expert, but here is my take: You, as a Wikipedia editor, can warn the user, on its talk page. For regular users, the usual procedure is to give the user four increasingly stern warnings, before getting an administrator involved. You can streamline the process with templates from Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace#Multi-level templates. You start with Level 1 (e.g., uw-advert1) and work up to Level 4. In the case of this Megaman Global, it is pretty clear that the user exists only for the purpose of promoting the company, so an administrator might decide to get involved earlier. The user's name violates the WP:ORGNAME guideline, and that also needs to be dealt with, as described in WP:BADNAME. I hope this helps. Thank you for getting involved.

Here is a page that links to the noticeboard for reporting inappropriate user names: Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention/Instructions. Again, thanks. Peter Chastain (talk) 06:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Account blocked. Thanks for drawing attention to this. As you point out, the account has been used solely for promotional purposes, including copyright violations. Name also falls foul of WP:CORPNAME, but I have no immediate confidence that a rename would result in a less promotional approach to editing. Euryalus (talk) 10:35, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Lor. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to List of people with surname Wilson— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Lor^Chat 05:52, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Please stop reverting confederate flags

Several times now, I have fixed that page to have less inflammatory/biased language. Saying it IS a symbol of racism is an onion, which is why I keep fixing it to say (and it is true that) many believe it to be such.

My edits being reverted

No offense, why did you revert my edit on online encyclopedia article? There is nothing wrong with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:205:c001:ea0:8021:24d8:5830:5e26 (talk) 07:02, 17 June 2022 UTC (UTC)

Your edit, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism, due to grammatical issues, the apparent unconstructive nature of such an addition to the lead section of an article specifically, and your edit summary. To be fair, that article already had a lot of issues, which makes it more difficult to judge the intent of additions to it. Some of your wording was not very encyclopedic, while a list of some of the different topics that articles cover seems, to me, redundant for encyclopedias that try to cover every field of knowledge and inaccurate for specialist encyclopedias.

Copyright claim

You shared the link of a PDF file of Warrant of Precedence, which contains information from the year 2008, from a website and deleted the whole 'Order' section from the Order of Precedence Page. Telling the sequence/layout shown in the page is faulty. You shall be informed that there has been a lot of updates since 2008 about the ranking of the posts as well as the new posts created. And also the Wikipedia Page Informs or reflects the information of the Warrant Of Precedence.
