Big rangeblock? for banned user Sugar Bear
Is it possible to set a rangeblock to stop banned User:Sugar Bear? He was indeffed recently as User:TheRealBoognish, and he's been using IPs from Oregon and North Carolina as well as others that geolocate to the US in general. One from Oregon was 74.42.44.222, used during August–September 2017, and the other was 74.42.44.210, blocked yesterday by Ponyo. Also blocked yesterday was Special:Contributions/166.182.84.172, who was getting into a giant revert battle with me. Below is a list of similar IPs that might be blocked as a range. Can we do this without too much collateral damage? Binksternet (talk) 04:28, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

- Torchiest and I call the big one bitey have tangled with this person. Care to comment? Binksternet (talk) 04:55, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping. I'll just add some history. SB originally created his account in 2005 under the name Ibaranoff24. He was blocked a few times under that name, including an indefinite block in January 2009 that was rescinded. He was doing quite a bit of sock puppeting around that time too. In January 2010 he had his account name changed, but then ran into more trouble in mid-2010 until he was finally banned entirely. Ever since then, he's been making a string of sock puppets that fly under the radar for various lengths of time before being discovered. TheRealBoognish was just the latest in a long line. Considering he's been banned for eight years and keeps coming back to fight the same fights over and over, I don't see any reason to believe his behavior will ever change. I don't know how damaging a range block would be, but again, I have no doubt that he will continue his behavior into perpetuity otherwise. —Torchiest talkedits 17:59, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Torchiest and Binksternet: Just entering a few of these IPs into the calculator generated 166.182.86.116/9 which is too large of a range to be blocked, or even generate contributions. Home Lander (talk) 19:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

BernardZ disruptive editing
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
BernardZ (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
This user has made many unexplained edits in the past few months; in fact, most edits have no edit summary. Some are incorrect and have been reverted: [1]. Yet the user undoes the revert, sometimes only partially: [2]. User has altered quotations: [3], and again undoes the revert: [4]. User has been warned several times, but is unresponsive and has blanked own talk page.—Anita5192 (talk) 06:48, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- I have experienced many of the same issues with this editor. For example, here he modifies a different direct quotation. See my recent reverts for a whole bunch of reversions of dubious copy edits. Most of the user's edits are copy edits, that sometimes mangle the grammar and change correct English idioms into wrong ones. That is disruptive. The editor further shows no indication of wishing to end the disruptive editing. Sławomir Biały (talk) 11:33, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Another example: here BernardZ introduced a grammatical error, the edit was reverted, then BernardZ reverted that. This happened after I warned the editor of possible sanctions if he does not use more care. (That post from the use4 talk page has subsequently been removed by the editor.) I think a community ban from copy editing is warranted. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:55, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Here is yet another change to a direct quote, again after my warning. Sławomir Biały (talk) 13:05, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

- Support ban on copy editing. Editor shows alarmingly bad judgment and poor command of English. He has ignored entreaties to stop, and has even opted to blank his talk page. This is clear disruption. Sławomir Biały (talk) 13:09, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support ban on copy editing. Looking back at his talk page just before he recently blanked it, I see that this has been going on for more than two years and he never once replied to any of the warnings placed there.—Anita5192 (talk) 17:31, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support action of some sort. User was just here a little over a month ago, and I observed then that there seemed to be a serious lack of competence in some of their editing. Grandpallama (talk) 10:42, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
Administrator note I have blocked this user indefinitely per WP:CIR. The fact that they are continuing to perform incompetent copyedits while this discussion is going on without even attempting to engage as is required is outrageous, and leaves me with no faith that this user is willing or able to respond to feedback and contribute as a competent, good faith member of the community. Any admin is free to lift this block in favor of the above topic ban, but I will state for the record that I think it's a competence issue and that unblocking would be a waste of time.

Security of external link and editor who won't deny COI
Please see this re-addition of an external link and User talk:Jc3s5h#Trusted_timestamping edits, where User:Paulg222 indicates advanced skills are required to determine if the site is safe for users to use.
One concern is that to provide the free service, the user must go through motions which, to a user who lacks advanced skills, are indistinguishable from uploading a file. (I am not proficient with Javascript coding and am unable to determine if the file is actually uploaded or not.)
Another concern is the user has only made a few edits, all if which are related to this website. The user is unwilling to state his/her relationship to the site. These circumstances suggest a conflict of interest exists. Jc3s5h (talk) 11:50, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- I have informed Paulg222 of this discussion. In future Jc3s5h you must do this yourself when discussing a user at ANI. DuncanHill (talk) 12:35, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- I notified the user in a discussion which the user was clearly following. Jc3s5h (talk) 12:41, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- I just think there are too many ELs on that page. Links should have encyclopaedic value to explain the topic not have a oh here’s an implementation in case you wish to use it or here’s a link to s version. Wikipedia is not a directory or collection of links. Canterbury Tail talk 12:53, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
- Should the Trusted timestamping article fall under Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Blockchain_and_cryptocurrencies ? Fish+Karate 11:19, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Blockchains are only one way to achieve trusted timestamping, and were not the first method used for this purpose. So putting it in the suggested general sanctions category seems like a stretch to me. Jc3s5h (talk) 12:50, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Should the Trusted timestamping article fall under Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Blockchain_and_cryptocurrencies ? Fish+Karate 11:19, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Jc3s5h has made multiple incorrect statements about the website and now about me. I would like to have those addressed. I have never denied involvement in the site. Jc3s5h asked what my relationship was to the site in the context of a discussion about his/her incorrect statements. I wanted to get those incorrect statements resolved first before discussing my relationship with the site to avoid having that discussion derailed (as has now occurred). Also at this time I was not informed or aware of COI rules and felt that the question about relationship to the site was too broad and an attempt to change the topic from Jc3s5h's incorrect statements and editorial reasoning, so I wanted to defer COI discussion till later. There is also a doxxing issue to consider given the form of the questions being asked. Jc3s5h first incorrectly stated there was a security issue and cited this as the reason for their removing of the link. When notified about the incorrect statements, Jc3s5h did not make any attempt to correct that and continues to cite security as an issue (like the title of this admin notice) and has made further incorrect statements about source code on the site. Jc3s5h now however, is citing a different reason for why the external link should be removed. Actually 2 reasons: COI as well as non-encyclopedic value. Which one is it? Why did Jc3s5h not cite COI concerns or External linking rules as their original reason? Why continue to site security as a reason when it has not been established that this is an issue (in fact it has been established there is no security concern)?Paulg222 (talk) 12:01, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
As for COI, yes I have a relationship to the site. Again this has become a distraction though to the conversation. If Jc3s5h has a general objection to external links in articles, then Jc3s5h should site those as reasons for removal when editing. If Jc3s5h has reasons to expect COI, Jc3s5h should cite those as reasons in the original edit rather than make false statements about a site that can have a negative impact on that site.Paulg222 (talk) 12:00, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- One would think that in a Wikipedia article about a security related technology, and in a discussion about a site that provides a security-related service, all concerned would expect that either the site would not work in a way that is obviously not a security concern, or would have established a reputation for trustworthiness through independent review. Expecting end users to have advanced knowledge of website and Javascript development to figure out for themselves if the website is trustworthy seems quite odd. Jc3s5h (talk) 12:56, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
expect the site would not work in a way that is obviously not a security concern
– Wha??? EEng 14:58, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
This conversation and the arguments are all very well but they’re irrelevant. Wikipedia isn’t a collection of links and the link provides no encyclopaedic knowledge above and beyond what the article does. As a result per WP:EL it’s not eligible for inclusion. That should be the end of the discussion here, based on policy. We don’t provide links to “here’s a service that does this.” Canterbury Tail talk 21:33, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
"Expecting end users to have advanced knowledge of website and Javascript development to figure out for themselves if the website is trustworthy seems quite odd."
Perhaps you are confused here. There is no expectation of advanced knowledge for Users of the site. Users can either choose to trust the site, it's explanations and it's claims or not and those with capabilities to do so are welcome to use their expertise to validate the claims made on the site. This validation will then lead to further established reputation for that site if those few experts choose perhaps to write about it elsewhere. However, for you as an editor of Wikipedia to make false claims about the security of a site without anything to back up that assertion nor even with the expertise yourself to understand security or websites in general means you are not qualified to really edit external links for security reasons and you should refrain from such actions and defer that to people who have such knowledge. Merely not knowing if a site is secure or not is not a reason to exclude it. If you have questions about an edit, asking for further explanation or enlisting someone with appropriate expertise is the proper move.
In the case of Trusted_timestamping it is not a requirement in general to not upload files, it is just something this site in question has implemented as an added privacy feature. In fact submitting files to a trusted 3rd party can be a valuable service. One key aspect of timestamping is being able to maintain a perfect copy of the original files. Some programs like Microsoft Word and others can easily alter a file if it is merely opened on a persons computer, thereby destroying the original copy needed for later verification. So a trusted site could very well be used to upload files for storage, just like people upload to Google Drive and other backup services. Paulg222 (talk) 22:23, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
"and the link provides no encyclopaedic knowledge above and beyond what the article does."
As to whether a particular external link is proper or not for Wikipedia is a far different discussion. With my biased view of course I think in this case it is warranted. Trusted_timestamping is not exactly a well understood practice and even less so with a Blockchain being used as the TSA essentially. By including an external site that actually allows for free timestamping users will have the ability to gain greater knowledge of the practice in a way that the article does not allow. In fact the blockchain aspect makes the timestamped data (sha256 hashes) public so that users can even verify on other 3rd party sites the validity of the data. Thus in fact Trusted_timestamping itself has been advanced perhaps where even the TSA is no longer a centralized source and the TPP is merely a pass through of hashed data. The site goes to some lengths to explain some of this process both on the create, verify and faq pages. This content could perhaps be put into an image flow format (similar to other images on the Trusted_timestamping page), however in lieu of that the site itself does provide encyclopedic knowledge that is not clear on the Wikipedia page. Thus the assertion of no value is flawed. Please see the explanations on the site itself. Paulg222 (talk) 22:23, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

The typical stuff. Account created recently, on a single purprose mission, spreading ethno-nationalist unsourced nonsense throughout numerous articles. Received numerous warnings, never bothered to respond to any;[5]
- Adds the Azerbaijani transliteration to a historic entity not related to Azerbaijan, without edit-summary; [6]
- Huge copy-vio on the History of the Middle East article, without edit-summary/attribution. Of course, he added a pseudo-historic twist to it as well (claiming the Ilkhanate as "Azerbaijani"); [7]
- Adds the Azerbaijani spelling to a non-Azerbaijani ethnic group, no edit summary;[8]
- Adds the Azerbaijani spelling to a historic ruler in India, no edit summary, no source; [9]
- Unsourced addition to the Turkification article, no edit summary; [10]
- Tries to claim historic rulers of Syria as being of "Azerbaijan", no source no edit summary; [11]
- Removes sourced content without edit-summary from the Azerbaijani language article; [12]
- Changed Turkish spelling into Azerbaijani, no edit summary; [13]
- Adds the Syrian Turkmen and the Iraqi Turkmen to the Template:Azerbaijani tribes, in order to claim them as "Azerbaijanis"; [14]

This article was recently deleted at AfD. Someone is obviously organising a campaign to spam WP:REFUND with requests for it to be restored as we've had ten requests in the last hour. It would be good if some other people could keep an eye out for them. I've just been reverting the recent ones as they're duplicates and pages deleted at AfD don't qualify for restoration at WP:REFUND anyway. Hut 8.5 18:58, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

- Can you identify the source(s) of copyvios? You can report those to Wikipedia:Copyright problems. PROD is just what its name says, a proposal to delete. If anyone objects to the proposal, it is dropped. You can nominate the article at Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion if you want to pursue removing the article from Wikipedia. As for the removal of the maintenance templates, I see you did warn him about premature removal of maintenance templates. If he again removes maintenance templates without explanation, we can further address that with him. - Donald Albury 12:09, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

This editor seems to be primarily focused on adding personal details to biographies, sometimes BLPs. Their first edit [15] was to add unsourced information about the minor children of a businessman, and that pattern describes many of their other edits. Some are sourced only to the WP:DAILYMAIL, such as this diff about Spiro Agnew. They also regularly use the "minor edit" tag for edits which are not minor. They don't seem to be responding to the multiple warnings on their user-talk page. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:00, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Didn't the recently-blocked Iistal have a penchant for adding all sorts of this kind of crap to BLP's? Blackmane (talk) 02:07, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- I don’t know about that, but this sees like a typical “fly under the radar” strategy where a user gets lots of warnings and just ignores them and never speaks to anyone, so I’ve issued a block for both the editing and the refusal to communicate. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:33, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

The user Obi2canibe is casting aspersions and making personal attacks on me.
I asked him several times to stop attacking me and to comply with the Wikipedia policies WP:AGF and WP:TALKNO, in talk pages and on his own talk page, without result. See more details here User talk:Obi2canibe#You are casting aspersions and making personal attacks.
He's a valuable editor, but I think he he has conceptual errors sometimes. I want he to stop the accusations and not judge me in bad faith. --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 18:43, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, the talk page section listed above makes it quite clear that Obi2canibe is not going to stop. I think a block might be in order. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 16:08, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- My comments were criticism of BallenaBlanca's behaviour, not personal attacks or bullying. I'm sorry if BallenaBlanca has construed them as such. WP:AGF isn't a shield shield against criticism nor is it a tool to suppress discussion. My views on BallenaBlanca aren't borne out of any personal prejudice but as a result of observing his contributions in Catalan articles. e.g.
- Quim Torra - Adding unnecessary references in opening sentence simply because the references contain negative content/headlines about this WP:BLP.
- Talk:Carles Puigdemont - Introducing fringe theories about the subject's ethnicity.
- Quim Torra - Removing politician from opening sentence from the head of regional government and elected member of parliament, and using a forum discussion to justify the removal.
- List of country subdivisions by GDP over 100 billion US dollars - Removing Catalonia from the list as it wasn't properly cited but leaving three other Spanish regions even though they were in a similar situation.
- Catalonia - Vandalising infobox.
- Category:Catalan engineers - Abusing a navigation template which has resulted in this category being placed in wrong parent categories.
- Iñigo Urkullu - Violating MOS:INFOBOXFLAG.
- BallenaBlanca has been involved in numerous content disputes with several other editors on Catalan topics (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). There are numerous others, just go through his contributions. And this is the fourth time in the last six months that BallenaBlanca has been involved in a ANI discussion, all arising from content disputes on Catalan topics (1, 2, 3).
- BallenaBlanca is showing many of the signs of gaming the system but doing so in a civil manner. For example, he has changed (see contributions) the opening sentence of numerous Catalan/Basque biographies by narrowly interpreting MOS:OPENPARABIO to mean that only citizenship can be used in the lede. The spirit of this policy is clearly different, as shown by the outcome of this RFC.
- All of this has led me to conclude that BallenaBlanca is not here to build an encyclopedia but rather push a particular WP:POV. I'm sorry if me calling a spade a spade upsets BallenaBlanca.--Obi2canibe (talk) 22:26, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Obi2canibe is very senior contributor has been around since 2008 with 35K edits and has been editing for over 10 years and major content contribuor. The issues above are more on content rather then personal.Content disputes are not personal ones and clearly cannot see any incivilty or personal attack from anybody.The content issues can be resolved in talk page or Other boards if unresolved in talk page. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 01:19, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Obi2canibe: I don't doubt your stated intention to simply call out bad behavior as you see it. However, the concept of WP:NPA is fairly straightforward: do not make personal commentary. This still applies even if you think you're legitimately calling out bad behavior. You should compile your evidence and make your case here. I commend you for doing just that here, but reviewing your diffs as an uninvolved observer, I don't agree with your assessment, or at least, I don't see the problem you're describing. For example, the most serious accusation, that of "vandalism", was the removal of an unsourced claim that Catalonia is a sovereign country. There's totally a possibility that the user has a POV influencing them, but if that kind of thing is unambiguously vandalism to you, your own POV may be skewing your assessment of their behavior. In sum, please cut it out, and if you want to make a complaint, start a new thread and make a proposal with diffs. As is, though, your complaint is not sufficient IMO.

- It is currently sourced to the pair of statements "Născut și crescut în Sibiu, Liviu Tipuriță s-a mutat în Marea Britanie la vârsta de 20 de ani pentru a studia regia de film" and "Am plecat în Marea Britanie în ‘90, pentru că voiam să fac film și nu aveam încredere în școala românească de atunci." from [16], which looks like synthesis to me. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 07:25, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, Jonathan A Jones, but I do not see how that would be WP:SYNTH. In an interview he states that he was 20 in 1990, and we can use {{birth based on age as of date |yy|yyyy|mm|dd}} to deduce possible birth years and a current age range. That is what that template is for, and its use is widespread on Wikipedia. Edwardx (talk) 09:28, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Edwardx I think it depends on the quality of the source. I am not sure why WP:SYNTH is relevant here as we are not presenting any arguments here; and I am dubious about identity theft as a concern in this very case. For me this looks more like a BLP subject wants to maintain control of their page, but I think removing DOB is fine if no quality sources other than a pair of interviews are available. Alex Shih (talk) 10:06, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Alex Shih The two quotes are from the same interview. I agree that it is not an ideal source. I also agree that identity theft is a red herring here. In my experience with engaging with our readers through editathons and elsewhere, two of the leading issues on BLPs are the lack of a photo of the subject (not an issue here), and the lack of any sense of how old the subject is. Of course, we should not include a full ddmmyyyy DOB unless the sourcing is solid, and I remove uncited ddmmyyyy DOBs frequently. It is reasonable that we should seek to give our readers some sense of a subject's year of birth and/or age. It is frustrating when a subject or their representatives try to edit a well-intentioned NPOV biography to something more hagiographical, and I do not respond well to threats, but in this case I am okay if others think we should remove the year of birth and age info from the lead and infobox, as long as we can leave the "Early life" as it is.

- 2019 PDC World Darts Championship (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
PreciesJJ is repeatedly adding unsourced information to the above article. The user is insisting on updating the qualifiers for the tournament after each event is played. This violates WP:OR because the Order of Merit is updated on a monthly basis while PreciesJJ updates it after every tournament played.
On my talk page PreciesJJ insists that "If you really want to check it is right you need to do the maths yes. But they dont have to, because it is right".
After warning the editor not to update the article with unsourced info PreciesJJ did so again.
The user was slapped with a 48 hour block for violating 3RR back on 22 December 2017 and a 2 week ban on 26 December 2017 for persistently making disruptive edits. PreciesJJ has continued their behaviour. Dougal18 (talk) 21:22, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

IP insists on premature election result
Ridwan Kamil is projected to win a recent election for governor, but so far results have not been official and media reports only rely on "quick counts" done by pollsters, e.g. [22] or [23]. While such polls are historically reliable, IMHO Wikipedia shouldn't use wording that imply the result is official, e.g. "governor-elect" or "won a landslide victory". Accordingly, RSes are still not calling Governor-elect, but "winner according to quick counts" or something like that. I tried rewording the article to this effect ([24], [25]) but an IP user keeps reverting back. Plus, the IP uses a very confusing citation, like "<ref>Taslimson Foundation</ref>", which is impossible to verify. I don't want to get into infinite revert, so I'm hoping an admin could a version without implying official result (e.g. [26]) and then semi-protecting the article to avoid IP abuses.

Possible conflict of interest from IP
Looking at the edits from 217.138.9.166 (talk) to Frontline (social work), I have a suspicion that the editor is associated with the subject. This IP has been consistently editing this page over the last couple of weeks, with no edits to any other pages in that time. Doing a WHOIS confirms the editor is based in London, the same place where Frontline is based. Already put up a notice on their talk page about the possible conflict of interest, but they have provided no response and are continuing to edit. TheConnorMan (talk) 15:45, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- First I'd say you haven't given them enough time to respond before coming here.

So I'm going to have to revert a load of their edits, COI or not. Canterbury Tail talk 16:34, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
USER Doprendek
First of all I do a lot of category page editing. Here's a view of my last 500 and that goes back to late April.
This morning I found a whole group of categories that were overcategorized. Namely 'Hotels established in 1970' were both in establishments in 1970 and companies established in 1970. Hotels established in 1970 is in Hospitality companies established in 1970, so the other two categories are overcategorization. I fixed the category page[27]
Editor Doprendek created[28]] the 1970 Hospitality category, added it to the Hotels established page but didn't remove the establishments in 1970. When it should have removed. This editor actually knows this. See their recent edit here[29] for example
Anyway I made similar fixes to Hotels established in categories here[30] here[31] and here[32]. I also fixed other miscategorization by Doprendek here[33], here[34], and here[35] for a few examples.
Doprendek reverted my edit[36] to Pharmaceutical companies established in 1970 with the edit summary- "Undid revision 847873358 by WilliamJE (talk) Don't be a creepy stalker. I was following practices established by others, but you are leaving those others intact and targeting categories created by me. I do many of these and I try to be consistent with existing practice. When mine are changed and totally analogous ones created by others are left intact, thereby CREATING inconsistencies, that is not good faith editing."
I reverted to the right version with the edit summary explaining the page was overcategorized. Doprendek reverted again[37] with a edit summary similar to the first one above.
I reverted again and addressed him at the talk page[38]. Where I addressed his accusations against me. He reverted again[39] I reverted and came here. BTW that isn't the first time I've gone to this editor's talk page about his category page work. Check here[40].
This is a case of WP:DISRUPT. He is reverting my edits not because they are incorrect but because there are other category pages done like this and that I'm targeting him. He accuses me of stalking and not following WP:AGF
First of all, I have fixed numerous Pharmaceutical companies established in year. Here are the 3 most recent examples. I've worked on them too. Here are 1[41], 2[42], 3 examples[43] since May. That's in my last 500 category page edits. If you go a little further back to my next 500, In April 2018 I fixed such categories over 10 times.
So I have been fixing category pages routinely.
I fix wrong categorizing all the time. Banned editor Look2See1 I went and fixed his mistakes. I addressed issues on his talk page here[44], and here[45].
My behavior isn't perfect but the reasons for reverting is clearly WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS not that what I was doing to the page was wrong.
So when I see an editor making wrong categorizing I look at their edits for more of same. Doprendek is not being singled out. He — Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamJE (talk • contribs) 17:27, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Category: Truncated yet TLDR ANI postings. EEng 17:33, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- WilliamJE (talk · contribs) I am being brought up on charges, or whatever this is called, for multiply reverting only one serial change in one article out of 11 similar ones [note--more since] made in a very short time by WilliamJE. I made this one change because I could find no other way of expressing how my disagreement (yeah, I was pissed off) in Wikipedia's all-but-impossible-to-understand dispute system. (And FWIW I don't know what the hell is going on here, or whether I am acting "correctly.") Now, WilliamJE tries to characterize this as essentially a categorization disagreement. Admittedly, that's what it *should* be. I don't even disagree with the changes--if they were meant to be applied consistently and in good faith. But these actions were clearly targeting my edits only (which is creepy in itself), as was admitted above by WilliamJE, but for purposes of Wikipedia actually make the categorization, and by extension Wikipedia, WORSE by introducing inconsistency across serial analagous categories, in this case those involving years. When I create categories (and I do a lot) I am not some moron or vandal or whatever WilliamJE tries to insinuate. I am simply following existing practice in those categories--I go to an existing category of the same type is a different year and copy it over. A (I would think obvious) reason for doing this is that it is better to be consistent across related categories, like years, rather than intermittently wrong, creating different little inconsistent blocks of differently-formatted categories depending upon whether one was in, say, the 1920s vs. the 1990s, or just based on whoever edited it last. And having the category formats skip year to year makes even less sense. The reason for this is that the user or editor at least sees a CONSISTENT system of categorization, and, one would think importantly, any corrections to the scheme can be agreed upon and changed universally. Or boldly changed by one user--for previous changes by ALL editors in analagous categories--again, for the purpose of actually improving related categories in Wikipedia, rather than targeting one user's intermittent edits. One would also think that is both more democratic and less contentious then targeting one editor's user history. (Hey, did I mention how creepy that is?) Doprendek (talk) 20:03, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- This looks very much to me like a content dispute over categorization, and not so much a behavioral problem. It should probably be handled at Wikipedia talk: Categories or some other appropriate venue rather than here. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:07, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
Zee money's article creations #2
User:Zee money has been editing since 2008. He repeatedly creates articles without sources and machine translates without copy editing, as well as creating micro-stubs with few sentences. Zee money has been reminded dozens of times to add references and add other fixes, to no avail. In June 2017, following an ANI thread, his autopatrolled right was removed. Examples of his most recent articles are [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51]. Even when Zee money adds references they are machine translated from the articles of other language wikis and often incompatible templates are copied over as a result (he doesn't fix these). In effect, this is WP:NOTHERE behavior – even though he responds and asks questions on other editors talk pages, he does not follow the suggestions of other editors on how the articles he creates can be improved. As a result, I am posting here for suggestion on how to address this issue. Kges1901 (talk) 22:12, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Are we sure that the "bibliography" section here and the "literature" section here aren't the sources list for those two articles?

Does he ever add content to existing articles in this manner, or is it always new ones? A ban on article creations could be feasible. (I'm jumping the gun here; Zee money at least needs an opportunity to explain himself, although he will find that difficult in light of the long string of notifications and warnings on his talk page.) —Compassionate727 (T·C) 02:17, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Carles Puidgemont revisited
We had an Talk:Carles Puigdemont#RFC on nationality for Carles Puigdemont which was closed after extensive discussion. However, one editor disagrees with the closure and consensus here and then reverting two editors here and here, unilaterally overturning consensus. He also tried to re-open the closed discussion thread here. I tried moving his new comment to the bottom and aded my own comment, here including removing. We clearly need admin action as the rfc was closed a week ago and we had a clear consensus. I don't agree with the consensus but it's consensus and needs to be respectd by all of us.

This user appears to be a long-term SPA here to promote himself and his YouTube channel: he has previously been warned for edit warring a number of times and he's just recreated the twice-deleted-at-AfD article about himself, Paul Pluta, for a third time. He's now revert-warring without discussion again accusing the Crime and Corruption Commission of being a star chamber in Wikipedia voice (his own article has the redlinked "Star Chamber Survivors" category).
This account has not made a single edit unrelated to self-promotion since 2010 (lots of stuff like this), and even before that did not exactly display a constructive attitude to editing.
I think it might be time to ban this account and speedy and salt Paul Pluta, because I don't doubt he's just going to remove the speedy deletion tag. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:13, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
