Vandalism part 34

Serge's 34th iteration of his own personal WP:AIV and WP:RFPP. Feel free to report anything you feel may need admin intervention. Sergecross73 msg me 00:34, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Here is one citation for the change I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starset/comments/1cixg4m/metalcore_starset_album/. There are multiple more citations. It is not vandalism. Do you have expertise in this band or music or why was this reversed? There was no justification. 173.59.8.222 (talk) 02:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Reddit posts are not usable sources on Wikipedia per WP:USERG. Sergecross73 msg me 02:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, based on the editing patterns, I'm wondering if @125.160.112.170 might actually be blocked editor @JustYourImaginaryGuy. Not sure how to report this; I noticed you dealt with the latter editor before. RegalZ8790 (talk) 05:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree. I've blocked. Feel free to report incidents like this to me, and if I agree, I'll issue blocks or page protection as needed. Thank you! Sergecross73 msg me 13:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

I figured this was okay, just wanted confirmation. Anyway, he's at it again, now with @125.160.115.29... RegalZ8790 (talk) 01:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 16:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

@Sergecross73 Back for another round as @125.160.113.185. What can be done with an individual who has no intentions of respecting Wikipedia and its community? RegalZ8790 (talk) 06:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Looks like someone else hit him with a WP:RANGEBLOCK. Hopefully that helps. Sergecross73 msg me 17:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, This user keeps reverting my changes saying they are vandalism. This IP traces back to the subject of the edits who has been using wikipedia to promote his own name, articles, and videos. He doesn't cite his work, he simply pastes it into other articles.

He has done this on the USNVGT page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_vs_Snakeand several others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/35.135.179.48

Surely this is against the terms. Thank you for looking into this. datagod (talk) 🍁 22:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Adding/restoring info without a source is definitely against policy. I don't know enough about these subjects to know who is correct in some of the disputes, nor am I following the accusations of self-promotion, but I'll warn them about the sourcing issues.

• KikanshaThomas1984 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Seems to be a WP:CIR case. Almost all of their edits in the past month, let alone nearly all edits in general, have been reverted. Typically adds unsourced or completely untrue information to articles, such as listing Takahiro Sakurai as Masahiro Sakurai's child with no evidence other than last name. Their most recent edit was editing the user page of a person who was blocked four months ago. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
  • I'm suspecting that they actually are that blocked user User:Taqi Inalessa Sany, as they refer to themselves as Taqi. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

    Blocked. I agree, I'm pretty sure it's block evasion, but even the disruptive editing alone is enough for a block. Sergecross73 msg me 18:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

• Colmedy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Two AIV ANI posts were made about this single purpose editor who WP:OWNs Mac Tonight and Talk:Mac Tonight. He has an editor group listed at User:HectorHawk9, and is a publisher on that subject.[1] He uses WP:ASPERSIONS and edit wars, to dominate anybody who deletes his mountains of WP:FANCRUFT or who tries to assert any Wikipedia policy. He explicitly combats the idea that an encyclopedia is WP:NOT a fan site or a WP:TRIVIA weblog. It's all on the talk page for the user account and the article. — Smuckola(talk) 22:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

  They've only made like 1 edit in 3 weeks, and there's very little in the way of talk page discussions within the last month. And as far as I can tell, nothing really came of the AIV/ANI discussions? And it doesn't particularly look like anyone's doing very much to explain to them what they're doing wrong... Sergecross73 msg me 00:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

  There are obviously a lot of discussions there as I said, and on several other users' talk pages that he hounded them at, and they quit apparently because this guy's bullying obliterated the community's collective efforts so he declared his war a victory. Everybody tried to explain everything in plain sight, right there, as I said. Anyway, I engaged even harder because admins failed to do anything, and I guess it worked for now FYI. Yeah the main response at ANI was a quite typical flood from the peanut gallery, barking about how Wikipedia actually has no rules whatsoever. — Smuckola(talk) 00:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

• Saturnpilot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) This is a wordless, single-purpose, WP:MEATBOT editor. His only edits are all bare URLs about airports, including mass destruction of existing citation formatting, and ignoring years of warnings. I placed some of the worst examples at the bottom of Years' Warnings Mountain, aka his Talk page. Sadly I assume the only possible response could be elicited by a block. Thank you so much for any kind attention. — Smuckola(talk) 00:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

  Most of their talk page seems to be about using bare urls. That's not a blockable offense. Sergecross73 msg me 00:57, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

  This is also incorrect, I have never blocked an editor for using bare urls before. I wouldn't, because it's not a blockable offense. Sergecross73 msg me 02:49, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

  Hey Serge, just chiming in about this since I’m the guy leaving most of the warnings on Saturnpilot (talk · contribs)’s page. Most of the warnings were for Bare URL’s, which yes isn’t a policy so it isn’t blockable. Since they do source their edits, I do believe they are editing in good faith. The main issue is the lack of communication and failure to acknowledge their warnings. They have, and still occasionally edit with unsourced content. Most recently I warned them of an unsourced edit in June: [2]. If you go through their talk page, you’ll see they have a history of editing unsourced. Several of their edits also fail to meet WP:RS, such as this one which is WP:UGC (Twitter link): [3]. After a few months, the user will usually clean up their talk page by deleting my warnings, seen here: [4], here: [5], and here, as examples: [6]. Thing is, WP:OWNTALK states that deleting a talk page usually means you’ve read the messages, but the user continues their editing patterns. They don’t use edit summaries, either, and I believe the user hasn’t used one in years (user has been on Wikipedia since 2013 and has less than 3% of their edits with summaries: [7]). With all that said, I believe the failure to communicate, failure to respond to talk page messages, and failure to use edit summaries and communicate with anyone else is a WP:CIR issue, especially for an editor that has consistently edited Wikipedia for over a decade at this point. WP:CIR states “the ability to communicate with other editors and abide by consensus” which they repeatedly have failed to do, and “the ability to read sources and assess their reliability. Editors should familiarize themselves with Wikipedia's guidance on identifying reliable sources and be able to decide when sources are, and are not, suitable for citing in articles” as many of their edits still don’t use reliable sources. All in all, I’m not sure if this is enough for any action to be taken, and again I do believe they are editing in good faith, but I did want to further explain about the user than what was posted above. Sorry for any inconvenience! VenFlyer98 (talk) 04:13, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• 72.82.231.146 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) A few of us have been dealing with this anonymous IP. They started out a few months ago making a number of bizarre/sloppy edits, such as at Songs for the Mama That Tried (where the infobox title was changed, a song was removed from the track listing, etc.), or at Hey Jude/Hey Bing! (where a sourced quotation was rewritten, etc.). Then they settled into a pattern of making the same bot-like edit of changing "Side one" and "Side two" to "Side One" and "Side Two" on dozens of album pages, even though that's not how the MOS lays it out. Many of these have been reverted/fixed, but not all of them. Both Justin (Koavf) and myself have approached them in good faith on their talk page and have received no response. I thought this should be brought to your attention. Thanks!—The Keymaster (talk) 04:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  I gave them a final warning. Let me know if they persist, and I can block/protect pages as needed. Sergecross73 msg me 17:57, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  Hi, Serge. Unfortunately, this guy went right back to his old behavior after his temporary block expired.— The Keymaster (talk) 06:33, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

• 47.223.111.239 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Looks like we've got another one. This IP continually makes unsourced genre changes (and the same minor spacing changes) to album pages, despite them being reverted. Also harassed Binksternet about it on his talk page and outed himself in that thread by posting under two different IPs. Multiple talk page warnings issued to both IPs. See here and here.—The Keymaster (talk) 09:11, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

  Blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 20:47, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

  This editor seems to have resumed some of their problematic behavior after the block expired, with at least a few of their recent edits having been reverted. Looks like Binksternet left another warning, to which they didn't reply (again).— The Keymaster (talk) 10:46, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

• 108.41.169.236 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Hi Serge, I've gone back and forth several times the past few months with this IP over unsourced content. Recently in this edit: [8] they called me a fascist (?), P.O.S., and used inappropriate language for reverting unsourced content which I'm thinking breaks WP:PA. Based on similar edit summaries and editing activity over the past few months, I'm thinking similar IPs that are the same user also include 71.190.73.247 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 96.250.238.133 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). Thanks! (VenFlyer98 (talk) 17:09, 7 August 2024 (UTC))

  Blocked 108 for NPA/CIVIL violations. I agree that it's probably the other IPs too, but they're so stale they're not worth taking action on. It is enough to show a patter of issues though. I protected Westchester County Airport since its clear that one is a recurring target. If further disruption occurs at other pages, let me know and I can review and potentially add protection there too. Sergecross73 msg me 17:14, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

  Appreciate it. Also, anyway we can get page protection from IPs on Salt Lake City International Airport? If you check the edit history there has been an IP user (hopping around multiple IPs, most recently 168.179.186.60 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)) that keeps changing a name in the destination table. I know you probably aren’t too familiar with airport articles, but the way the IP is editing it is not how the entry is listed on any other article. I attempted to bring it up on the talk page and project talk page, but it didn’t seem to go anywhere. The IP won’t respond to talk page messages and leaves no edit summaries. At this point I feel like it’s disruptive editing and the page could use protection. VenFlyer98 (talk) 22:21, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

• OrangeRye (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Hi again, Serge. Been having issues with this user for a while now, particularly at Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport. They constantly add unsourced content and revert me every time I remove it. I've left them several warnings on their talk page to no avail. They never leave a reliable source and seems like trying to warn them or talk to them isn't working at this point. Been happening for several months at this point. (VenFlyer98 (talk) 00:34, 18 August 2024 (UTC))

  Blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 15:16, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

• Okay this one is a little tricky. There have been some on and off users claiming to be Ben Rector's management team (or Ben Rector himself in some instances) making non-constructive edits to the article. The edits are pretty much exclusively removing large blocks of content relating to details outside of his career (specifically regarding his early life, family matters and religion). Meanwhile they've been rearranging and rewriting their career and release timeline to read more promotional (see here). Edit summaries are misleading. It's getting very hard to clean up the mess because they slip a lot of it in there, and in between my other edits, so I can't simply rollback anymore without losing progress.

These editors are definitely related, sharing similar usernames and making next to exactly the same changes. What do you recommend be done with the group of users? Should the article be protected based on this string of non-constructive edits? Panini! • 🥪 15:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

The edits have been coming from a few IPs, including 168.179.186.109 (talk · contribs), 168.179.186.83 (talk · contribs), and 165.239.42.184 (talk · contribs). I’ve reverted every edit for disruptive editing and have left talk page messages on some of the IP users, but nothing has changed and the editor never uses edit summaries. Brought a discussion to the article’s talk page that didn’t really go anywhere. I am not the only user to revert the IP’s changes. Just wondering if we’d be able to get the page protected against IP users since it isn’t stopping. Thanks! (VenFlyer98 (talk) 01:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC))

Continuous block evasion and sockpuppeteering

Hi Sergecross73, hope thinks are going well with you. I've got a question, and you're usually my go-to admin for these kind of issues. For a month and half, there's been a person unnecessarily changing the leads of hip hop artists' articles. They mark all their edits as a minor one and occassionally leave unnecessary opinions in edit summaries. The main account is Maurice20111 (talk · contribs). Confirmed socks are WilliamNathan (talk · contribs), LeahAnderson2005 and Joseph231028 (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Maurice20111/Archive). I'm also absolutely sure KingVonFan2011 (talk · contribs) is another (ANI'd, but to no avail). They also edited under changing IPs, such as Special:Contributions/2600:1007:A111:709:A1E0:9A8F:2DEC:4FD5, Special:Contributions/2600:1700:1BFB:5010:C965:9B83:9189:EB29 and Special:Contributions/2600:1007:A111:709:1CE4:C321:F5A9:7A49.

In my experience, sockpuppet investigations is too slow for continuous disruptive editing - there aren't any tools to do that quickly, but ANI didn't work last time. In your opinion, what's the best course of action here? It's not the worst kind of disruptive editing, but they do need to stop. Input is appreciated. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 19:09, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) For what it's worth, I have reverted multiple edits made by the sock. From where I sit, obvious WP:DUCK situation. JeffSpaceman (talk) 23:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

P.S. If you can indef KingVonFan2011 as an obvious sock in the meantime, I'd appreciate it.

Before I do anything - what was the result of the ANI case? Was there opposition to blocking/seeing them as a sock? Or did it just close due to inaction/indifference? Sergecross73 msg me 23:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Inaction I suppose? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 03:51, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay, just making sure there wasn't differing views on him being a sock. I've blocked him, as I see what you both are talking about here.

Sadly, your options are limited outside of SPI. You can find a friendly admin who can help with WP:DUCK blocks (me), or find a Check User who can run CU scans for you (not me - I don't have that access.) I have a pretty high tolerance for DUCK blocks for as long as it takes, but there will likely be times where I can't justify action too. Sergecross73 msg me 13:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your vigilance. If it's okay with you I'll send you a quick message if (when?) they return. So far they haven't changed their MO one bit, spotting them has been easy. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:01, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Yup, no problem. I can do it for as long as you're motivated to spot and report them. My only request is that you don't get mad if I dont take action because I don't think there's enough evidence.

TyMega

Hi Sergecross, similarly TyMega (talk · contribs) has been doing the same thing for years apparently. See this IP address and the articles edited. I believe HorrorLover555 and FlightTime have experience with them as well. Is this another case of edit protecting those articles? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 05:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

TyMega has been doing it for years, as it looks like they have been using a VPN to evade. They've just recently been changing anything related from "guest appearances" to "guest featured appearances". As usual, I revert their sock edits and report them to ANV. HorrorLover555 (talk) 11:09, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

If reporting to ANV is working for you, I recommend sticking with that. But let me know if there's common targets you'd like me to protect and I'll look into it. Thanks! Sergecross73 msg me 15:48, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

And they're back. They definitely have their favorite targets. I wish I had the time to revert everything, but I have to get going and won't be able to look at their edits for the rest of the day. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 04:36, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Atari Panther image dispute

Hi @Sergecross73

I have been in a bit of a back and forth with user oknazevad over on the Atari Panther page.

The article Luma3DS was created despite the fact that its Draft:Luma3DS was declined twice and no changes were made to the draft to address the issues. What is the best course of action? It can't be moved to draft space because the draft exists. Would it need an AfD or can the article be deleted outright? ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Sorry I never responded to this. Technically, the correct avenue would be to AFD or to CSD it, since the AFC process is technically voluntary. I was going back and forth on what to do because I personally felt like AFD was as a waste of the community's time on such an incomplete, junk article. In the end, someone else successfully CSD'd it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention again though, because I believe a warning is still in order. Sergecross73 msg me 19:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Sonic Generations and Shadow Generations

I'm sorry for the unsourced edits but it is a true fact - you cannot buy the game on PlayStation 4 physically in North America unless you get it through Limited Run Games until October but I cannot find a single article talking about it. I really tried but for some reason nobody is talking about this. I was trying to be informative not malicious. Even then, only one of the notes on the Sonic Generations page had a source so I didn't know which notes needed sources. Anonymous29345 (talk) 13:24, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

If you can't verify it with a reliable source, then it has no business being on Wikipedia. All content needs sources, even notes. If you see an unsourced note, that's something that needs to be fixed too.

I don't get the vibe that you're trying to be malicious, but I'm concerned that a lot of time has passed and you still don't seem to understand the requirement of needing to add sources. Like, just yesterday, you asked if it was okay to publish an entirely unsourced draft. Why would you think there was any chance that would be acceptable after the warnings and blocks you've recieved about adding unsourced content? It's good to ask questions, but I'm troubled you thought there was a chance someone would say yes. Sergecross73 msg me 16:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Fair to midland history

What’s up man, I’m not super great at adding sources into articles (yet) but it’s legit, if you look at the discogs page for the album or the back of the album, Brett is listed as an official member, as well as the dedicated percussionist. He’s also in the band photo on the back of the album. https://www.discogs.com/release/3622747-Fair-To-Midland-The-Carbon-Copy-Silver-Lining Tritonianyeti (talk) 15:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Request

Earlier this year, you reverted some edits on the new wave page under the belief that all of them were made by sockpuppets or block evaders. One of the edits you reverted was one I made: adding the Post-disco template. However, I am not a block evader, and I was certainly not evading a block when I made the change. Could you put the Post-disco template back on the page for New Wave? 2600:6C5A:417F:528F:DD65:6D7E:9939:D516 (talk) 17:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I'd recommend asking on the respective article talk page through an WP:EDITREQUEST. I'm not saying the template was or wasn't appropriate, it merely looked like it was added by a serial disruptive editor. Someone else at that article should decide. Sergecross73 msg me 02:56, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
