I've added to the list of SPAs that have been active on this article. See the talk page. I didn't bother checking IPs. Meters (talk) 16:33, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

JWTWorlwide has been blocked now, so we have the option of starting an SPI later. Meters (talk) 17:13, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Wow, that's a lot of accounts. Maybe SPI would be appropriate in case there are more. Sro23 (talk) 17:28, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Spain national basketball team

I am guessing you are a fan of the Spain national basketball team :-). Sorry but according to Fiba.com, Diop is off the team. According to ESPN.com, Spain's ABC, and others, M. Gasol hasn't recovered from his injury and can't play. Don't worry, I think Spain can still be competitive against the US :-). Worldviews2016 (talk) 16:44, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Worldviews2016

I'm actually not really a fan, but I just noticed this edit instated some vandalism, but I can understand if it was unintentional. Sro23 (talk) 17:28, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

User talk page move protection

I've move protected your user talk page so only admins can move it. I can undo it or lower the protection to confirmed users if you want, but I don't really see why it's not the default (seeing how the only time we have to move it is when an admin renames an account). Ian.thomson (talk) 21:50, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that Ian.thomson. The attacks on Sro23 are really out of line. S I would recommend leaving it. Today's move came by an editor who made just enough nonsense edits to become confirmed before messing with your page. I do admire you putting up with this so stoically. Many Many Many thanks for your work here at WikiP. MarnetteD|Talk 21:54, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Articles I created

I think vandal fighters and primarily content contributors are both needed. I'm more interested in reverting vandalism because I think I'm good at it and because I like maintaining quality. I don't believe this makes me less valuable of a user. Some people think I don't contribute enough, like this is some sort of contest to see who can contribute the most? Well here is proof this is false, so no more whining about how I don't create enough articles! In fact I've created/started several, mostly biographies of living people. Maybe they're not the best written, but that's still content from ME. Sro23 (talk) 17:46, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, article creation is becoming a less reasonable measure as time goes on. Ten years ago? Yeah, we needed articles. But outside of attempting to fix systemic bias, we're getting to a point where most new good-faith article attempts need to be wary of WP:NOTNEWS or WP:GNG; or else require doctorate-level research skills (and tools). We've also got a few users (no names) who act as though making articles when we barely had any to excuse their rather flagrant violations of WP:DICK.

If we're going to be the inclusive community we pretend to be, we do need to start emphasizing stuff like fighting vandalism, resolving disputes, gnome-ish edits, and so forth. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:22, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

The articles get more obscure, but we'll always need articles, if only because the newly notable people worldwide each year is a very large number. If y'all ever need articles to create, I have a literal encyclopedia of sports statistics from Canadian football where every single entry to notable as per WP:NGRIDIRON and there's enough information there to at least create a stub. I've gotten GA credits out of that book, though. Having said that, your work is obviously extraordinarily valuable to the project, Sro, and you shouldn't let the vandals who say otherwise get to you. I've known you for a couple weeks and you've already become my go-to when I need to identify a sock. The only reason you'd ever "need" to create substantial content would be to go for adminship, which I certainly hope you'll eventually do once you're ready. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 19:02, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your support, that's not something I can really see myself doing. I just want to say I really appreciate all the work you've already accomplished in the short time you've been admin. Sro23 (talk) 19:36, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Sock-puppet of JovanAndreano

Dear Sro23, I noticed that the user user:JovanAndreano, has returned making making all kinds of edits like 1, 2 and 3. He makes the same kind of edits like JovanAndreano and he removes or inserts information without explanation. The users are user:105.156.236.182, user:105.156.233.41. Just a few minutes the user user:196.206.65.201 reverted 30+ edits in less than 10 minutes. Thank you. Alhaqiha (talk) 19:21, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes the IPs certainly seem to be JovanAndreano. I'm not sure what else to do other than report them at the SPI or request pages be protected. I'm sorry this is happening. Sro23 (talk) 19:36, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

User:Eshumaitreyus

I notice that you added a 3RR warning to User talk:Eshumaitreyus. Just in case you didn't see it, because he removed it, I had already warned Eshumaitreyus about edit-warring.[1] He is skating on very thin ice. --AussieLegend (✉) 20:59, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

And then they made a bad faith vandalism report against me, not to mention that long incoherent rant they made on the talk page in addition to their overall combative attitude. Sro23 (talk) 21:17, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

There is something very fishing gone on here, re: User:Asukadamooka and User:Eshumaitreyus – if this keeps up, I'd suggest an SPI or contacting Bbb23 directly. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:36, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Homeboy accounts

I just checked on Meta and all of the Homeboy accounts have been globally locked so they can't be used, so no block is probably needed anymore. here. :) Feinoha ^Talk 22:40, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

NYC Police vandal

Do you know if this IP editor has had an account that he's currently blocked under? See here. Thanks! ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 04:46, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Not that I know of. Sro23 (talk) 11:15, 24 July 2016 (UTC) Actually, this account does appear to be related, but it is not blocked and has never even been warned. Sro23 (talk) 02:26, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Seth MacFarlane awards

Why do you keep reverting edits on Seth MacFarlane awards page. The lead section is fine and explains the overall summary of the awards page. Every awards is listed in alphabetical order. The page is in its proper format. You keep reverting it back to where the page has issues. 107.77.230.94 (talk) 20:53, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Because you're a blocked disruptive sockpuppet that's why Sro23 (talk) 02:26, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Reply

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.Foleo (talk) 02:33, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I've blocked Foleo for 72 hours. It's rather rich they're plastering warnings all over the place without taking part in the talk page discussion. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:40, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

BANREVERT

Regarding your comment/question here, I recommend letting the revert stand as an "object lesson". We need to be creative in trying to redirect this vandal. - Brianhe (talk) 04:32, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Italian

It is the closest language to Latin. Few months ago an IP changed it and nobody spoke.--93.36.3.110 (talk) 18:40, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Castle of Óbidos

Hi How was it a cut and paste move? Pyrusca (talk) 19:15, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Castle of Óbidos is a duplicate of the older article, Castelo de Óbidos. I'm not sure how this mix up happened, but for now I've redirected the newer article to the older one so that there are not two articles about the same subject. Sro23 (talk) 19:20, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't actually understand the intent of the page move to the Portuguese naming convention? Age of the article should not mean anything in this case. The older article should have been moved to "Castle of Óbidos", just like the recent move to "Castelo de Mértola" from "Castle of Mertola". The English convention should predominate in this case, as there are sources that refer to the English naming convention. Please revert Castle of Óbidos as the valid article, there is no justification for reverting the name to the Portuguese.^{ruben jc}ZEORYMER (talk) 20:19, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm just discovering this now, apparently a user created a bunch of duplicate Portuguese Castle articles instead of simply expanding on the existing articles and moving the pages to the English title (Castle of Mertola is a duplicate of Castelo de Mértola, Castle of Belmonte is duplicate of Castelo de Belmonte, there's more...I have undone my changes but right now I'm SO confused, it feels wrong. Sro23 (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Yup, I discovered that ages ago...and have been slowly expanding articles, then moving them to their acceptable English naming convention. A recent user, who may have perpetuated these errors was later determined to be a sockpuppeteer and suspended accordingly. Regardless, I appreciate you reverting the article redirects. I will try to cleanup the content accordingly, after my zip through "Lighthouses of Portugal". Cheers. ^{ruben jc}ZEORYMER (talk) 16:24, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Gumtala

Please do not continue editwarring at Gumtala. It would be best to familiarise yourself with the WP:3RR (three revert rule), because violation of this policy could lead to a block. What you are removing is not vandalism. Creektiming (talk) 18:33, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

I know about the rule. The content I'm removing is an unsourced statement that is repeatedly being reinserted by a blocked user (User:Cebr1979), which exempts me from 3rr. Sro23 (talk) 18:38, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

@Sro23. If we are dealing with a banned user then that puts a different light on things. Your best bet is to open a SPI with links to the accounts being suspected. Without this, you, I, and all others are obliged to follow the general rules. Creektiming (talk) 18:42, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

My article of Faris Al-Rawi

Why did you undo my revision. If you had checked ALL my sources and not simply assume it was unreliable you would have realized that my information is actually RELIABLE! Pnmforlife (talk) 23:28, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

FYI, I reported Colinmiller13 to AIV a bit ago. User was blocked recently for the same behavior. EvergreenFir (talk) 01:58, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I think it's worrying how all the user's edits appear to be unexplained date changes. Sro23 (talk) 02:06, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, there

Hi, Could you please stop editing my article? The article you are talking about is a stub, I have added more info to my article. If you want you can export the missing info to make and complete one single article. I would appreciate your respect to my research. Syntaktis (talk) 21:59, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

@Syntaktis: Please see WP:OWN. You do not own the article, and since the article already exists on Wikipedia, a new article doesn't belong. Instead, introduce your edits at Rodrigo Semprun. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 22:04, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: Hi, I KNOW I don't own the article, with the term "my article" I meant that I wrote the article that Sro23 was redericting to a "shorter one" (stub) and well it's ok, I will export the missing info. Thanks guys. Syntaktis (talk) 22:15, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Please Sro23

Sro23 please stop making a personal attack and accusation at me, yes my actions were Homechallenge were not the correct way to make a compromise and that's on me, but all I was doing was making changes on the Michelle Ruff page.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 04:39, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

I moved it per Wikipedia common name, since there was already a disambiguation page with the correct name, the standard move page procedure cannot be used.XavierGreen (talk) 15:56, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Untitled

Thank you for your work. How long will it take for Wikipedia to remove that page about me (Constantia Oomen)? I would prefer for it to be gone soon, as it has spread over the internet without ever being updated and it's so old. If I would write books about these subjects again, they would be different. Now this article about me appears on many other pages with photos of mine that are taken from my website without permission, like "america.pink". I have written them numerous times: no reply. Very rude. Hope by removal of this Wikipedia page, I will be "less interesting" to copy.

Best regards, ThroughTheWindow (talk) 03:51, 2 August 2016 (UTC)Constantia Oomen

At this point the article will surely be deleted, but I honestly have no idea how long it will take for the discussion to close. Probably not too long. Sro23 (talk) 11:55, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Sirte edit warring

First, this is Wikipedia policy on Common names (common name is Battle of Sirte). Second, the ORIGINAL article name was Battle of Sirte (2016) and THAT move to offensive was undiscused (contrary to Wiki policy) without a move request. So both me and Xavier are canceling an editor's unilateral move to offensive who did not make a move request (that you are talking about constantly). Third, you just made four reverts (more than 3) in less than 24 hours on a single article page violating Wikipedia's rule on WP:3RR which can get you blocked. If you do not cancel your last edit I will have to report you. EkoGraf (talk) 15:40, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Please read WP:CUTPASTE. You weren't cancelling any move, you were doing a cut-and-paste move. Under no circumstances are these moves allowed, because they split the page history, which is required for attribution and copyright reasons. Since more than one person has become upset by this, I have requested a move at WP:RMT. Sro23 (talk) 16:04, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

For the third time, the original article's name WAS Battle of Sirte which was changed without a move request a few weeks ago by another editor. XavierGreen's first edit was not a copy-paste but an appropriate redirect which you reverted. And again, you violated 3RR by making 4 reverts (1 more than is allowed per WP policy) and per Wikipedia's policy an administrator can very easily decide to block you because of this. You are obligated to discuss the issues at the talk pages instead of engage in edit warring. EkoGraf (talk) 16:26, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

The pages history here and here prove that it was a cut and paste move. I ask for your patience, as I have requested an uncontroversial move here:[3], so it shouldn't take too long for the article to be moved to the proper title. Sro23 (talk) 16:32, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Sro23 is right, the page needs to be moved properly. An admin can revert the undiscussed move, but copy-pasting the content is not sufficient. clpo13_(talk) 16:33, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Anyway, I said what I had. Battle of Sirte (2016) was the original article name and its move to offensive (a few weeks ago) was undiscussed. Xavier's first edit was a proper redirect (not a copy-paste) and you canceled it. And again, 3RR is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. EkoGraf (talk) 16:47, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Do you mean this? No, that's still a cut and paste move.

I truly believed that undoing cut and paste moves exempted me from 3rr (#5), but if this is false, my sincerest apologies for the disruption. I promise it won't happen again. I will try not to edit war, but please, I also encourage you to respect policy on cut and paste moves: instead you need to request moves when undiscussed complicated page moves are made that can't be undone by regular users.

Typo fix on a talk page

Hello, i want to understand there were typo on blocked message added by other user. I know i should not edit other's talk message. But in the message, it says "indefinete" rather than "Indefinite, so i corrected the typo. Does the policy against editing others talk message also apply to this reason? Stylez995 (talk) 14:34, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:TPO states "It is not necessary to bring talk pages to publishing standards, so there is no need to correct typing/spelling errors, grammar, etc. It may irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. The basic rule—with some specific exceptions outlined below—is that you should not edit or delete the comments of other editors without their permission." Sro23 (talk) 14:36, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Excuse me, but why would you revert and remove my edit 11 days later if both Astro Boy and Naruto are Anime hence the reason as to why English version was put in?--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 01:58, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Because it is already implied every role is in English, as with other articles. Sro23 (talk) 02:04, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Yeah but some actors (mainly celebrities) and certain voice actors (mainly the ones that do Pre-lay animation like Tara Strong, Jim Cummings, etc..) don't often appear in anime voice over work, and Maile is one of them.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 16:38, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Begusarai Edits

Hi Sro23,

The page that has been put up is up to date with all the latest facts. It is not an old page. A lot of the stuff used in the page is pure hard facts which have come from the old page. There are many differences. If you have any problems with the facts please let us know. Just reverting arbitrarily does not make sense. I assert again that the page you see is an updated version and not an old page. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeasayer (talk • contribs) 14:13, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

No, with this edit (I assume it was you) you reverted back to a May 2016 version of the article. You need to clearly explain what exactly is incorrect about the newer version so we can fix it instead of reverting to an older version. Please stop edit warring, you don't WP:OWN the article, others are free to edit it. Sro23 (talk) 14:24, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Sro23, I have not reverted to that page. Please notice that everything now reads 'was' instead of is. The ending date of the show has been put in and so has the Ending sequence of the show. The page looks similar because I have picked up passages from the old page. Please also notice that the name of the company Saregama productions which was the original contract holder from &TV for this production has been added. Trust me brother, I am just trying to present the facts without any Ego. The only difference between us is that I was actually involved with the show and know everything about. NOT trying to be smart or offensive please, in case it comes off as that I am deeply apologetic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeasayer (talk • contribs) 14:45, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

My userpage

Dear Sro23,

Thankyou for reverting the vandal who edited my userpage on the 8th of August. However, the vandal's username and edit summary have both been suppressed as offensive material in the page history. Do you remember what the username of this vandal was? I would like to know as I am very hard to offend and it might help me determine which sockpuppeteers are still active.

Thanks, Passengerpigeon (talk) 05:03, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Polish Clans

Hello! :) Please communicate before You undo what I did. Reason for that is consensus reached in matter of the art. Heraldic family - see talk page. We need to clean up and sort out. Redirecting to "Heraldic family" that will be renamed to "Heraldic clan" is necessary and all agree. Art. "Polish clans" will be separate art. Before its done, we will redirect it to "Polish heraldry" since there will be info on that issue there - and we just started work to imporve the art, adding citation, changing errors and so on. Thank You for reading and understanding! camdan (talk) 20:30, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I'm having trouble understanding what you mean. The requested move (which you proposed) hasn't been closed yet. Is just leaving the page blank the standard thing were supposed to do even while these debates are still in progress? I guess I don't see the harm in leaving the redirect on Polish clans for the moment. Just seems odd to me. Sro23 (talk) 19:08, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Well, I think consensus is reached, facts presented and therefore i removed it. I will redirect to "Polish heraldry". Polish clans have little to do with "Heraldic clan" - its completely different topics.camdan (talk) 21:14, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Leuchter Report

I've taken this to RPP. The two IPs are clearly the same editor, both geolocate to Scotland, and the new account seems to be making the same complaint. I'm not bothering to remove the PROD, someone else will. Doug Weller talk 20:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

And it's protected and the PROD reverted. That was fast. Doug Weller talk 20:33, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

@Johnsc1277: You CANNOT use the Disney wikia as a source. See WP:CIRCULAR. Please understand, when it comes to biographies of living persons (WP:BLP), wikipedia takes this very seriously. Adding poorly sourced information about living people is essentially the same as adding unsourced information about living people. That is why your recent edits have been violations of policy. Find a reliable secondary source instead. Sro23 (talk) 18:43, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Auli'i Cravalho. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Stop reverting my edits! Johnsc1277 (talk) 19:04, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

It's not censorship. Please see WP:OWN, editors are free to revert your edits when they violate policy. Sro23 (talk) 19:07, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Sanity check

Is this who I think it is? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 19:14, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

No, this is just a coincidence. C is "an IP forever more", he doesn't have sock accounts. Sro23 (talk) 19:18, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I would take Sro23's observation over mine as they have more experience with C. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:24, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: I looked at that editor when they started re-reverting my sock reverts and came reeeeaaalll close to blocking. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:21, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but I've been using semi more regularly lately. That often pushes sockmasters to make accounts. @NeilN: I'm inclined to say WP:DUCK. It's either sockpuppetry, meatpuppetry, or a vandalism-only disruptive account. I don't see any harm in tying it to Cebr and assuming he's gone back to using accounts. If we're wrong, we're just also blocking a purely disruptive account, which should be blocked anyway. Thoughts? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 19:24, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

With the re-reverts, Soccerlife2 was essentially reverting a disruptive editor (currently blocked) that C had reverted. Coincidence? I know I posted to another user's talk page asking them to look at my reverts. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:29, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hmm. So it could be someone other than C (the original disruptive editor). Maybe just block for vandalism-only/disruption and if they pop up again block as a sock of Soccerlife2? Sound good? The important thing is that we block disruptive editors, not that we tie them together appropriately. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 19:31, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Block for disruption if they've earned it, sure. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:34, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Soccerlife2 was created long before C was blocked, though I do think it's strange the user didn't become very active until around the time C was blocked. Some of C's edits were undoing a disruptive editor (User:Alanpopo123), which were then reverted, but Soccerlife2 restored. I don't think Soccerlife2 is a vandalism/disruption only account, other editors have restored C's edits in good faith before. Sro23 (talk) 19:35, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Sure I can talk to Alhaqiha, can you give me an example of this? Sro23 (talk) 15:17, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

I don't really understand what you mean Doug, can you give me an example. Or do you mean the sockpuppet templates that I add to the talkpages of Ip adresses? I didn't know that was not allowed, but in that case I will not add them anymore ;). Alhaqiha (talk) 16:37, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

I don't understand what you mean either. As far as I know tags like this are allowed, I don't see any CU template. Anyway, this is just what I think: it's unclear what is and isn't appropriate when it comes to the average non-admin user tagging sockpuppets and suspected socks. There's WP:SOCKTAG, but that is instructions for administrators. Maybe a page designed for regular users would be helpful? Sro23 (talk) 03:54, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Sevilla FC season 2016-17 article

Hey, I'm just wondering whether you are an administrator? I'm having a bit of an issue with an editor at the 2016-17 Sevilla FC season article called Bittrix.Wiki. I noticed that you have warned him on his talk page before, so I thought I'd ask if you could block him? Specifically, it's his insistence of adding "Possible in/out" lists, which aren't encyclopedic. I mean, Silly Season is filled with rumours and speculations that end up nowhere. https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=2016%E2%80%9317_Sevilla_FC_season&diff=734979419&oldid=734977271 Thanks in advance.

Hey

Hey Sro, I'm not sure what prompted this revert, but it's not automatically a good idea to simply revert just because another editor reverted. Was the edit bad? Was it wrong? Did it make the article worse? Drmies (talk) 00:45, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Per WP:BANREVERT and WP:DENY, the editor is a sock of banned User:Bigshowandkane64. Sro23 (talk) 00:48, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

No, that's not proper logic/grammar. Bigshow is a banned editor, so you can invoke those things, if you like, and if it makes sense. You just need to ask yourself what the value is of reverting. You may have noticed that this looks like a never-ending cycle. Which is useless. Drmies (talk) 00:59, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:BANREVERT states:"...the presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert". Honestly a lot of his edits didn't seem to be that much of an improvement imo. Sro23 (talk) 01:02, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

What about the one I linked? You can cite all the policy you want, but I have blocked more than one of this guy's socks, and I deal with the fallout of blind reverts on a very regular basis. Please tell me what the point is of [this, for instance. Drmies (talk) 01:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

You think it's better to let the abusive banned user's edits stick? Because that seems wrong to me, but okay. What is the best course of action to take when I see this guy pop up then? Just do nothing? Sro23 (talk) 02:00, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

That's up to you. But really, what is the point of simply reverting? Why can't you do nothing if an edit improves an article? And here's something else: how do you know it's him? I'm not saying you're wrong (in this case you're obviously not) but what is it about the edit that signals "QUICK BANNED EDITOR REVERT"? At some point it seems to become a game for some users--revert as soon as possible. The history of User talk:94.117.39.40 is evidence of that (NeilN, what do you make of that?), and that is nothing but disruption.

I don't know this particular banned editor very well though I just left him a note, but like I said, the few edits I looked at weren't so bad. (And NeilN, huh? I've been an editor and admin for long enough to know that, and it doesn't make a difference.) I didn't look at all of them. Here's what you can do: judge the edits on their merit. If one of them is bad, revert it and explain why. If an edit is good, you are really harming the article by reverting it. It doesn't satisfy some users' desire for vengeance, but if you let a good edit stand, then hey, you are looking at a better article, and the banned editor has no reason to come back to it. That they might get pleasure out of seeing their edit stand is immaterial; perhaps they get even more pleasure out of reverting the reverters. And when you get into an edit war with someone who can flick a switch and get a new IP address or account, who is going to have more pleasure? So yeah, while it may seem unsatisfying, I think there are occasions where it is better to let shit go. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:28, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Drmies, some new, and even some veteran editors don't know about WP:BLANKING. I see that and I make a point of dropping notes on talk pages pointing to the guideline so they don't do that in the future. As to the other point, okay you can ask editors to constantly go through masses of edits of banned/blocked editors to pick out which ones are bad and which ones are good. If they volunteer, that's great. But I'm not going to complain if they just revert, providing they're not reverting back in vandalism or BLP vios. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:39, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Sure, Neil, but if someone is reverting twenty, thirty times in a row, surely they should give it some thought at some time. Anyway, we all want the same things, and sometimes we place different emphasis in different places. I'm not asking anyone to go through all of someone's edits: I'm only asking, as I ask all the time, that someone think carefully before they make an individual revert, and that they ask themselves what good is served by it. Drmies (talk) 02:46, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Drmies Regarding an edit or two, you realize that some of our more prolific sockmasters rack up 20-30 edits a session before they're blocked? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:06, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Creation of 4 new articles from the main article Neyyattinkara

Dear Sro23, I'm User:Hosannagardens. Please understand my issue. The main article Neyyattinkara has been divided into four irrelevant articles viz. Transportation in Neyyattinkara, Education in Neyyattinkara, History and Culture of Neyyattinkara and Administration of Neyyattinkara. This was done by User:Prof tpms. He just copied my works from the main article Neyyattinkara and pasted the same in four different articles of his choice by giving them new titles. Whether a Wikipedian can create new pages by using the sub-titles and respective contents of the main article? Whether the acts of User:Prof tpms comes under the policy of Wikipedia? Neyyattinkara is not a big city. It is only a residential town. All the aforesaid four new pages created by User:Prof tpms forms part of the main article Neyyattinkara town. No independent existence, relevance or importance to the four new pages created. It is my humble request to retain the main article Neyyattinkara in its original form. As for as a town like Neyyattinkara is concerned separate articles for its transportation facilities, education system, history & culture and administrative systems, etc. is irrelevant as I know Neyyattinkaravery well. I am a resident of that town. Thanking you from the bottom of my heart for reading my words— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hosannagardens (talk • contribs) 14:00, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

This should be discussed at Neyyattinkara, not on a user talk: page. If you think particular users might have insights to this, then let them know too - but be aware of WP:CANVAS.

At first sight, the original article was a large article but somewhat verbose, rather than in depth. I can see reasons to prune (yes, to delete content) some of these item-list-like sections, rather than needing to split the article by topic. There was nothing raised at Talk:Neyyattinkara before this split, which is bad editing practice (if it creates situations like this, then that is a bad practice).

You may, per WP:BRD, simply revert this split and request discussion at the article talk: page before it is re-split. Redirect each new article to that section in the main article and revert the main article to how it was. The difficulty is that this approach will probably just trigger an edit-war, which is not helpful.

I see some need to edit the original article (I don't see those lists as usefully encyclopedic - we are not a directory), but not to split it. Please let me know if you do raise this, I'd chime in. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
