Evasion
Hi, how are you? These IP address appears to be Xiaomichel evading the block, same style of changes: [1] and [2]. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:11, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also these two users: Rusoscal and Pumconi who vandalized the page Capuchino[3] of the Spanish Wikipedia are obvious sockpuppets of Sapsby/Xiaomichel (they wrote practically the exact same things that Sapsby wrote here on the English Wikipedia; as you can clearly see by looking at their only contributions:[4][5] ). And he also vandalized the page Café expreso[6] through many IPs; eliminating its Italian origin and trying to transform it into something French... [7] 82.55.77.241 (talk) 16:51, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @JacktheBrown: Looks like things are quiet so far with the relevant pages protected, but feel free to post anything new to the SPI. There's nothing I can do about the Spanish wiki, though. ÍGoodnightmushTalk 17:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer.
Potential sock (I'm not completely sure): [8]. JacktheBrown (talk) 19:31, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

List of Wars involving Tunisia
To create a Wikipedia page on wars involving Tunisia, one can structure it similarly to the provided well built pages such as Egypt or the Kingdom of Morocco's military history. The page shall be divided into sections based on historical periods, such as the Hafsid dynasty, Ottoman Tunisia, the Beylik of Tunis, and modern Tunisia. Each section should list significant conflicts, their combatants, outcomes, and relevant treaties or events.
I litteraly don't understand why you did not even read my version.
Please tell exactly what the current one is accurate.
Best regards 37.169.32.11 (talk) 16:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I protected List of wars involving Tunisia because the page has been edited by one or more users using multiple accounts to edit the page in violation of Wikipedia policy. I apologize if you are unconnected to those accounts and have been trying to make constructive edits. If so, you are still welcome to discuss them and request that they be made on the article's talk page. You could also make an account which will, after make enough constructive contributions elsewhere, be allowed to edit the page. GoodnightmushTalk 17:00, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation and for your vigilance in maintaining Wikipedia's standards. I understand the need to protect the integrity of the page, and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss any potential edits on the article's talk page. I'll certainly consider creating an account to contribute more effectively. In the meantime, I'll share any suggestions I have through the talk page to help ensure the accuracy and completeness of the content. Thanks again for your understanding and for your work on Wikipedia.
- Still I worked a lot on the page I have edited. Because the one you restore is very incomplete and SHALL be improved.
- Best regard 37.169.32.11 (talk) 19:23, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Then I will republish it. Please read it and compare, you will see 1) the amount of work, 2) the completness of the page. Oilyvertwist (talk) 19:29, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi, could you please change the protection of the cappuccino page and add it to the other two? See recent page histories for information. Thank you very much in advance.
I was alerted by this IP address: [9]. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:52, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Both IPs involved at flourless chocolate cake have been blocked. Marron glacé has been quiet for over a week. Cappuccino has quieted down for now and I'm hoping full protection will not become necessary. We'll also wait for various WP:SPIs to resolve. GoodnightmushTalk 13:59, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- I believe that Xiaomichel, unfortunately, will continue to create new socks forever. The problem must be solved at the root. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:53, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I'll just quickly suggest that, although it's totally fine to edit your own talk page messages for a short while after you post them, if you are making changes later (e.g., the next day like here), you are encouraged to add them as separate comments or otherwise make clear that they are later changes (per WP:TALK#REVISE). And you are strongly discouraged from making edits if anyone has replied to you (not that that happened here, but just mentioning it). GoodnightmushTalk 14:08, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
