I’m sorry for Vandalizing the Robot Chicken article

I promise I’ll never vandalize again Jdjmsrubbsbjjw (talk) 18:45, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay, but find something useful to do. PhilKnight (talk) 19:04, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

A goat for you!

Because this goat is clearly awesome. Enjoy it 😊

Thanks. Goats are cool. PhilKnight (talk) 22:40, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

You should have accepted it

Because this was this is the correct version: beginning with its founding in 1935 and ending in 2019, when it became part of The Walt Disney Studios, 20th Century was one of the then "Big Six" American major film studios. Jdjmsrubbsbjjw (talk) 16:16, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

S/he isn't a vandal. PhilKnight (talk) 16:17, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

S/he was removing the important part about 20th Century being one of the Big Six studios, until Disney bought it Jdjmsrubbsbjjw (talk) 16:32, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

To me it looks like a content dispute, so neither of you are vandals. PhilKnight (talk) 16:58, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Even though neither of us are vandals I think, Mediafan200 is one of the vandals that will have a chance to get blocked Jdjmsrubbsbjjw (talk) 17:02, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

I’m sorry

I don’t wanna be blocked Jdjmsrubbsbjjw (talk) 16:25, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Bluesapphire1999 (talk) 11:37, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

I don't see much evidence of vandalism. Anyway, Widow 99 appears to have retired and has not made any edits since 24 June. PhilKnight (talk) 12:35, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

yes widow99 have been retired but the IP address 49.205.83.129 is doing the same Bluesapphire1999 (talk) 13:55, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Revdel

Could you possibly take a look at the edits I reverted today on Brian Barnhart and see if the one in particular is worthy of revdel? Thanks. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  15:36, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Looks like run of the mill vandalism, so no, I don't think revdel is required. PhilKnight (talk) 15:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for looking. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  15:44, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Reply re: Rphysicist and J. Kepler accounts

The Rphysicist and J.Kepler accounts were both created in February 2018, and were in continuous use, without any problems, until January 2021. The KarlJacobi account was created in 2008, and has been used regularly since then. As explained before, the three accounts focussed on edits within three distinct areas of concentration: 1) physics and physics history; 2) gravitation and geometry; and 3) developments following from the works of Carl Jacobi. Keeping focus primarily on these three distinct topics was the main reason for maintaining separate accounts. There never was any violation of Wikipedia policy in their existence or their use.

I chose not to be involved in the "sockpuppetry" investigation of January 2021 because I knew that the other accounts listed were not mine. They had been created by a number of students and colleagues, however, who had kindly agreed to add further content to the article Tau functions, which I had created, covering topics they were most familiar with. The accounts had a similar description because none of these had previous experience with Wikipedia editing, so they all just followed the same format, naming their accounts after well-known physicists or mathematicians and describing their purpose similarly to how I had done in my own. None of this involved anything deceptive, or contrary to Wikipedia rules.

It is not pleasant to be wrongly accused, and expected, by anonymous administrators, to give explanations, when nothing incorrect or illegitimate has been done. The various students and colleagues who did their editing using these accounts were all well-intentioned, qualified contributors, with no other motive than helping to complete an article on a major topic in the field in the best possible way. KarlJacobi (talk) 22:49, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

I am not going to unblock you. I suggest you post another unblock request at user talk:Rphysicist. PhilKnight (talk) 18:47, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Study Invitation

Hey @PhilKnight, I wonder if you are interested in our ongoing study for anti-vandal patrollers? I am reaching out because of your rich experiences handling vandalism. The study aims to evaluate AI models that power recent change filters, Huggle, SWViewer, and many other anti-vandal tools. Your feedback can be really helpful! If you're interested, please check out our recruitment page for more information. Thank you for your consideration! Tzusheng (talk) 04:14, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, just came across this IP address, was it your intention to block this IP indefinitely? 2601:1C0:4401:F60:897F:550E:68E8:4A10 (talk) 20:50, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Julie Rueceh, possible sleepers

Hi, the account you blocked for disruptive editing earlier (Julie Rueceh) is a LTA who targets Candy Crush pages, and I couldn't for the life of me find a master (though this SPI seems like a lead, ping Bbb23 since he closed it all those years ago). It seems like this user has sleepers to bypass semi-protection, so perhaps it would be wise to have a CU check for sleepers. Best regards, LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 00:26, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, thanks. I have blocked a few sleepers I found. PhilKnight (talk) 00:35, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Ya'rub98M

Phil, I was about to block the above user as a sock of Lorne Collin‎ when I noticed you'd already indeffed the user for edit-warring, so I just tagged. But now I noticed that you reduced the block to one week, which would be fine if edit-warring was their only sin. Do you object to my indeffing for socking? Do you think I'm wrong about the relationship?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:44, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

I have already blocked them indefinitely for socking. PhilKnight (talk) 22:46, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed right after I posted the above. You're too fast for me.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:46, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Economy of Kansas City

Why do you whish to mislead readers into thinking that the economy of Kansas City metro area is anchored by Kansas City Missouri when it is a fact that 50% of the office space is in Johnson county ? 2607:FB91:7B9:4E92:514D:B5D0:BD9F:5AA5 (talk) 23:58, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

I hope you realize rural Kansas and Missourians hate Johnson county — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB91:7B9:4E92:514D:B5D0:BD9F:5AA5 (talk) 00:01, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

I have self reverted. PhilKnight (talk) 00:15, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey this is the same guy. I just wanted to explain to you my situation. I am currently a blocked user and have been trying to get unblocked for 4 years. As you don’t know Kansas City Missouri has had many years of urban decay and white flight into Johnson county Kansas. There is quite the border war for jobs population and wealth going on here. I am editing from public places ip addresses my phone is T-Mobile which is range blocked. The only reason I was a sock puppet in the beginning was because my truthful statement edits kept getting removed by people who dislike this county with high wealth a racist past and a superior attitude and I do admit it’s full of some cocky people. I do edit in good faith and I want to use only one account except my unblock requests are always ignored. I wasn’t aware of wikipedias policies when I started. I have gone over 6 months twice without editing. I have lost my cool and been uncivil in the past. But I really hope that you or someone else can make these pages more accurate as I want to also.not that I’m without biases but I have driven all over the city and in different locations down every major street. Please ask me questions on how I can help improve the articles or what you don’t know about Kansas City . I would love it if you could look at my unblock requests under midwestman1986. I like Wikipedia but was never given a second Chance to edit. This grey wanderer guy really has it out for Johnson county and Sbmeirow just a little bit; I think he just thinks it’s obnoxious — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.87.161.232 (talk) 00:47, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Surya Sreenivas

Edit, I tried to remove all the unreliable sources and sources which did not mention him. This [1] is about Bellamkonda Sreenivas and this is about [2] Suriya. The editor who made this page probably added random sources to make it look like the person in question had a lot of media coverage. DareshMohan (talk) 00:30, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

July 25

I noticed you reverted someone's edit on 'Al zarrar tank' page,but the number you gave of tanks are still wrong according to given sources,The source claiming 320 tanks are produced and you wrote 750 tanks are produced,the same thing is happed in 'Oprators' section the source is claiming other thing and the number given by someone is totally random.
