Vandalism

[edit]

Need help from a wikipedia administrator without bias and COI.

This page has been repeatedly vandalised in the last 48h by an Editor simultaneously using multiple accounts. This Editor erased all biographic material and its sources to highlight one single project with the intend to self-promote a recently created Wikipedia article draft for Stealing McCloud, a film written and produced by Timothy York according to the draft created in Wikipedia.

This editor added material through unsourced and uncited dates of birth and added a GPA, a detail that is not relevant per Wikipedia guidelines of BLP.

Since this Editor has used multiple accounts (including Fourthords, WikiDan61, Yeeno, and most probably also involved with administrator 331dot) the page needs to be reviewed by unbiased editors and administrators and protected to stop vandalism, or completely deleted to avoid defamation of a living person. 176.83.47.202 (talk) 15:03, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OP blocked for sock puppetry. 331dot (talk) 15:35, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This page has again been vandalized. This time by 212.115.142.130 (talk · contribs), following in the tradition of 83.61.37.251 (talk · contribs), 176.83.47.202 (talk · contribs), and Numennewman (talk · contribs). I'm unsure whether a sockpuppet investigation (per the blocking of 176.83.47.202 in May), page protection, or something else is best suited here, but I'll be asking those previously involved here—WikiDan61 (talk · contribs), Yeeno (talk · contribs), 331dot (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), and KrakatoaKatie (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA)—for their input. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 13:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fourthords: I agree that sock puppetry or meat puppetry is probably involved, but I'm disinclined to complete roll back the edits. While the excessive links in the citations is a problem, it is clear that Yuzna has made a name for himself in the skateboarding community and I fail to see why that recognitions has been quashed.

In May, I examined all 34 sources that haven't been retained. The majority are either citations to the subject himself, unreliable sources, notable companies or publications that shared Yuzna videos with their audiences (often in listicles or on Tumblr), or trivia. Furthermore, many of the citation titles are editorialized descriptions of their actual content. If I missed something in that morass, and a reliable source is actually discussing Yuzna himself in a manner with which we can expand the article, I'll gladly support its inclusion. As I recall, though, they were just a bundling of (aggrandizingly-described) trivial mentions and shares to give the impression of significance. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 14:23, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
