Per my note on Talk:Safe Schools Coalition Australia‎, please don't restore the misleading text to the lede of Safe Schools Coalition Australia‎ again, or you may be blocked. Bishonen | talk 17:52, 30 August 2016 (UTC).

Okay, here goes my defence: I saw a block evading editor engaging in indiscriminate revert-stalking of certain users' recent edits (on that particular article they were removing referenced information) and so I reverted the IPs. I am sorry for this. Next time I will try to be more careful when it comes to reinstating controversial or disputed text. I was not involved in the current dispute, but I hope the issue is resolved soon. Sro23 (talk) 18:59, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for this edit. I've set pending changes for a month for the article. Bishonen | talk 08:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC).

Growth of religion

The article needs to be polished, per WP:NEWSORG, WP:NOT#JOURNALISM, WP:NOTSTATS and WP:NOCRYSTAL. I removed news organizations, blogs, et. al. unreliable material, and redundant repetitions. The issue is being discussed here.

I am not a sock of the users you have mentioned. Ask for a check. The fact that I am incidentally criticizing the same user who whoever before me criticized doesn't mean that those articles are good and the contributions of that user (Jobas) are good. I already noticed his bad contributions in the past.--151.36.36.57 (talk) 20:42, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Whats up with you guys constantly bullying with my article?! I am providing valid article links, actors link, even IMDB links. You shouldn't continue reporting my page.Preetiahluwalia (talk) 15:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Sro23. When you add or restore a G4, please make sure the original article wasn't speedied, circumventing the AFD. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 15:18, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Understood. The original article title (Gubbaare) was deleted for a second time and salted, but this must have been in error, because the article was first deleted G7 author requests deletion, not because of deletion discussion. Sro23 (talk) 15:51, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Consensus

How do you want to come to this? Mateoski06 (talk) 16:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Mateoski06, when your edits are reverted by more than one person, instead of simply re-reverting, the wiser decision would be to start a discussion on the relevant talk page. Also, the more opinions the better, so WP:RFC might be a good idea as well. That way, we can come to reach consensus to move forward while minimizing disruption and edit-warring. Sro23 (talk) 16:38, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Where is the talk page for this specific article and sidebar? Mateoski06 (talk) 18:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I think you mean Template talk:Discrimination sidebar? Sro23 (talk) 21:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for removing the barnstar on my page. When I saw it I confused Pederasty and Pedagogy and I was trying to work out who I'd been teaching. When I spotted the error I was appaled. Thank you for the speedy removal SPACKlick (talk) 17:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

‎Hair clippers

Good call on that sock. I didn't recognize him. No offense, but I nuked the entire thread from my talk page even though you had commented there too. Meters (talk) 03:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

No offense taken, Filipz123 has a tendency to annoy editors who revert their edits so I can understand why you would want to remove that rant. Sro23 (talk) 03:07, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

reverting that annoying little sock on my talk page. Thank you very much. My talk page and user page are now semi-protected, so they should be safe. However, I'm sure he will turn his attention to something else equally annoying. thanks again Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:35, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Nicholas Scott Chamberlain db-a7

Hi. I'm afraid I just wasn't sure which speedy criterion would count for this page, which once had a not-notable bio but now has nowhere it ought really to point to — it now points to a bishop with a completely different middle name, so I thought complete deletion best. DBD 18:01, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

I understand now, and I have redirected the page to Nicholas Chamberlaine with the "e". I guess it was originally created as a common misspelling redirect before the Nicholas Chamberlain w/o the "e" article was created. Sro23 (talk) 18:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

I think I've told you this before, your best option is to try the standard offer of no editing (this includes as an IP) for six months, then appealing via UTRS once again. Sro23 (talk) 19:52, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I can't wait for that long, as a few admins said I can appeal it now. SummerPhD2v.0. also said that. I did it multiple times. Did you see the request? I was also told to discuss the issue on Ritvik12 sockpuppet page, but it's semi-protected. 2600:1010:B024:A937:9080:6B:B044:9E79 (talk) 20:50, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

speedy deletion

You have requested speedy deletions on 3 articles, Brendan Anthem, Jaxon Calkins, and The TA Network. I ask that you remove the speedy deletion notice from those pages, because they are all suffieciently following the guildlines and criteria. All information that has been made about the network and its actors was put on the articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceSong (talk • contribs) 22:02, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Brendanator22. That is all. Sro23 (talk) 22:10, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

These articles have simply been made in correspondence to the The TA Network's upcoming show. I was wrongfully thought to be creating these articles about myself, and made the mistake of deleting the speedy deletions when I did not know what they were. There was no sock puppetry going on here. I requested the name change to clear up any confusion.PrinceSong (talk) 22:45, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I've added semi-protection to your talk page for 2 weeks due to all the vandalism. If you'd like me to remove it, please let me know. Best, Mike V • Talk 18:58, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Mike V. I gave it some thought and in my opinion, it's no longer necessary. Would you mind unprotecting? Sro23 (talk) 12:15, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

Do you have anything to add to the talk? If there is no further discussion or objections than the discussion is resolved. Marquis de Faux (talk) 03:21, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

What I meant when I said "again"

"Again", basically not to do it again a second time in future, not so much an accusation for having done it before. Thanks for pointing out. International Pumpkin (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

User:Fexlajahd

I noticed this one too. Considering their only non-userspace edits are to Hamas-related areas, where ECP is often applied, it may be best to report them at ANI. They just hit 500 edits. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (^Complaints|_Mistakes) 22:56, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Want to help test advanced new tools planned for Recent Changes?

Hi Sro23! I’m reaching out to you because our logs tell us you’re a very active Twinkle user (top 25, actually!). The WMF Collaboration team is working on new tools that we hope will be useful to people engaged in reviewing recent changes, fighting vandalism or supporting new users. We want to test them for usability with editors who are experienced with relevant wiki work. If you’re interested in helping to shape this new technology—we’d like to hear from you.

The testing should take about an hour, will be conducted online, and will take place during the next few weeks. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org with the subject line Twinkle User. Include the following information:

• Username
• Email where we can reach you
• Your city or time zone
• Best time to talk to you
• Your primary use of Twinkle or Recent Changes (e.g., reviewing recent changes, reviewing with a particular focus (specify), anti-vandalism, new-page review, welcoming new users, etc.)

Thanks! Dchen (WMF) (talk) 17:53, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

The Tom and Jerry short "Blue Cat Blues" was removed in future syndications on Cartoon Network internationally likely due to the references of alcohol and the morbid joke of Tom and Jerry killing themselves on a railroad track that would be not suitable for Cartoon Network's standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThomasPussyCat (talk • contribs) 10:32, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

@Belloq69: You are welcome to join the discussion I started on Talk:Joe Menendez. I really, really don't want to notify WP:BLPN or WP:ANEW, I would much rather we come to some sort of agreement on our own, but if you continue edit warring and violating BLP policies by adding unsourced/poorly sourced information about a living person, I might have to. Also, I see you have referenced IMDb quite a lot in the article. Per WP:RS/IMDB, it is not considered a reliable source. Sro23 (talk) 19:55, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Accusation

Might I ask why you tagged User:A picture of a dead fish as a sockpuppet? Per WP:HSOCK, only blocked accounts should be tagged and only upon sufficient evidence. Removing. 126.78.77.19 (talk) 00:08, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Again. No evidence has been provided. Please do not make any more reverts without first replying to this comment. 126.78.77.19 (talk) 00:13, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

I believe I've already said this once before, but per WP:BEANS: if I say why I think the accounts are sockpuppets, you will change your behavior. You are free to keep creating a new sock each time I spot you, but I have a feeling that even if I present no evidence or open a SPI, the accounts will be blocked soon enough. Sro23 (talk) 00:24, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Not a valid reason, per WP:HSOCK — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.78.77.19 (talk) 00:25, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Would you like me to start an SPI? 126.78.77.19 (talk) 03:02, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't know why you would want to start an SPI concerning yourself, but sure, I guess that would mean less work for the rest of us. Sro23 (talk)

You are very funny. I also urge you to please stop reverting suspected socks on the grounds that you believe that they're socks without evidence as you did here and here. 126.78.77.19 (talk) 03:38, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

How does reverting an edit make me a sock? Essential Oils (talk) 04:49, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

You think I'm a sock don't you! Then why don't you report me?

question

Do you believe that User:A picture of a dead fish and User:Essential Oils are sockpuppets because of their shared habit of recent changes patrolling as new users, and similar account creation date? Because IMHO, that's a very weak reason! 126.78.77.19 (talk) 03:48, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

No, there's more to it than that, but again, WP:BEANS. Sro23 (talk) 03:49, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm guessing that would be rhetorical style and/or punctuation. 126.78.77.19 (talk) 03:51, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

For the last time, I'm not telling why. It would not be very smart of me to give away how I know it's you. Sro23 (talk) 03:54, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

With only 10 edits, there's a very limited amount of information which can be discovered about the User:Essential Oils account. You've practically spilled the WP:BEANS already! Game over. 126.78.77.19 (talk) 03:57, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

NYC DCAS

Hello Sro23

You keep making changes to this wiki page with wrong information. NYC DCAS (police) is not as a Police agency as pre the following (NYS CPL,NYC charter and NYS Divsion of Criminal justics service). A simple Google check and you will see that they are not listed in any of the above provided sites as a police dept or agency. As a member of a law enforcement agency in new York city I can assure you these facts, they are NYS peace officers who carry a firearm after the new York city police dept issue them a pistol permit. No Police agency in NYS issues their police officers a pistol permit. This is a fact that you can't dispute.

Deleting a page per AFD

Hello, I looked at the instructions on how to use AFD to nominate an article for deletion but I am really unsure of how many steps I need to take. Is there any way you could help me since I am new at this. Thanks OldEnglishHero (talk) 14:43, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

I would recommend using WP:Twinkle when nominating AFD. It does bascially everything automatically, all you need to do is make sure you have a good reason for deletion. Sro23 (talk) 18:31, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Socks

Hey there. As it says at the top of long-term abuse pages: "Please report all ongoing incidents of abuse to AIV or ANI" - when it's a deafening quack from a long-term vandal like Malusia22, it's quicker (and more WP:DENYing) to just flag it at AIV. Filing at AIV and tagging a problem article also removes some of the need to edit-war a speedy deletion template onto it, as the blocking admin will (usually) delete it at the same time. --McGeddon (talk) 08:57, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I see that the long-term abuse page says to report all ongoing incidents of abuse to AIV or ANI. I tried following your advice by tagging an article created by a sock for speedy deletion instead of reporting to SPI first but was met with confusion as evidenced below. I'm going to bet the average AIV or new page patrolling admin has no clue about Malusia22, regardless of the LTA status. Might as well use that SPI, it's there for a reason.

Wendy James And The Thin Gentile Effect[edit source]

This section has been removed mis-guidedly and replaced correctly so many times in such a highly profile visible fashion the original point of it being posted in the first place has been very well made.

In fact more than surpassed my original expectations.

Seen by many visitors and casual observers it has more than served it's original intention to reach far beyond a relatively obscure "Talk" page on a relatively obscure artist's profile.

Word of mouth about it has spread far and wide across the internet community where individuals have re-posted their own personals screenshots of it.

And the various editors who dealt with so clumsily as to alienate any person who might vaguely side with their reasonings.

It will of course be always available to read over at my profile.

Untouched.

In Perpetuity.

I suspect far more people will be willing to visit it than there than here given recent Orwellian events.

I see you keep fighting the good fight--thanks. But, by way of old person's advice, let me suggest that it's actually more fun to write new articles and content than it is to keep old ones clean, and much more rewarding. And if you ever want to run for admin, that's one of the things that editors are looking for: an awareness of the difficulties of creating content, verifying it properly, making it look clean, bringing them up to GA or FA level. Fun and rewarding--that's a winning combination. Happy days, Drmies (talk) 03:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

What's wrong with putting {{uw-block}} tags on user talk pages of some blocked users? I thought it was okay to add block notices to user talk pages of users who have active blocks. --UnforgivablyPotatoes (talk) 13:49, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @UnforgivablyPotatoes: Are you suggesting that saying something is 'inappropriate' = a snide remark? If so, I suggest you are wrong in thinking that. To answer your original question, as Sro told you, the blocking admin would have done that if he had wanted too- or do you think you know better than them? If so, why? On a completely unrelated matter, you seem to be involving yourself in some pretty controversial activities and arcane areas for an eight day-old account.

Question

Hello. I decided to talk to two admins, you and another person on the same subject. I asked about the KTFF 50th Anniversary Cup your version is very good, even the version in Persian.

But I note that the French version Coupe du 50e anniversaire de la KTFF of that problem, I would like to understand why? There are 14 reliable sources in 2 sources (Article 1 and 8) are two books that talks about a tournament on the 50 years of the federation and the other book on the team, 2 works speak of the competition.

The seventh source shows Yucel Hatay, known for writing several books on "Cyprus Turkish Football Association", "football in North Cyprus" and the "Northern Cyprus national football team".

The arguments given by those who are against this article, leaves desired. They say Sourcing very poor, anecdotal ....

Yet there were competitions around the world or there was a single edition that is on Wikipedia, sometimes with no sources. I admit to having trouble understanding for the latter. The two books are definitely the best sources.

Cordially. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E34:EE0E:ABD0:F48F:1CC6:E35A:1ABD (talk) 17:23, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

I like to monitor Special:ShortPages and undo unexplained page blankings and content removals, and that's how I came across KTFF 50th Anniversary Cup, after an IP blanked the page.

What kind of bullshit entry have you left on my talk page. I have never either heard or talked to a User named Wikiboms, and litarally the only entries I have made with my account were to YouCaring, in which wikibombs weren't even involved in... And by the way. The fact that the "Controversies" removal of the YouCaring page was posted to the h3h3 subreddit is the reason someone else has come over and reverted the undoing once again. How about asking first and then leaving stupid shit on my talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesRichards2557 (talk • contribs) 06:04, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

@JamesRichards2557: I got just a little bit confused when both you and Wikibombs edited as IP's before registering, took ownership for the same content ([5] [6]), and restored practically the same text to the same article ([7] [8]). I guess I must live under a rock because I hadn't considered the possibility off wiki canvassing had occurred, but now I see the issue in a new light. If you have no relationship to that user, then I am so sorry for the incorrect warning; it was an honest mistake. There is no need to get this upset, it's really not that big of a deal. Sro23 (talk) 08:17, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I just received some warning about this too, making it sound like I had posted on your Talk page. And you're accusing me of using multiple accounts or colluding with other users outside of Wikipedia? I have no idea who this other person is and this is my first time visiting your Talk page, why are you sending out complaints about users who haven't interacted with you at all? What a joke. Presumably, myself and other users were drawn to that page to edit it because there was a significant controversy surrounding a viral video and a very popular YouTuber. Off-Wiki canvassing? You are paranoid and delusional if you think multiple people can't care about the same issue and how it's being censored from Wikipedia. Wikibombs (talk) 00:14, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Fireproofing

Why are you reverting this. It's wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Temple (talk • contribs) 19:09, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

November 2016

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Ken Sansom. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

(talk page stalker) Beth and Sro, a quick query popped quite interesting results. Those might be smart to monitor.

Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 19:22, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the link, Sro23. DatGuy, I'm aware of the filter hits: 756 is one of mine, targeted against Nsmutte. Apparently it's so broad it accidentally catches other LTAs!

If they keep attacking your userspace, Sro23, I can lock it down. Otherwise I can't think of much that can be done. If the posts are outing or libellous they ought in principle to be oversighted, and therefore it would be irresponsible for it to be caught in an edit filter, which would also have to be oversighted. (Of course, 756 has already captured some of it.) It seems to me most of it is just one PA against you; if you didn't mind it not being oversighted then it might be possible to set up a filter, but I would advise you to consult a functionary. As ever, the question is whether the attacks would mutate to evade the filter. BethNaught (talk) 22:59, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

I checked IP Hopper from Kerala, it is just some ips from May...and based on this collection of someone and targeting edits centered around psychology and sociology articles as this person requests...doesn't seem clear.

if it is under sockpuppetery, on what grounds are you following this Jim1138 request or approach...there is no misleading, deceiving or circumvention done with my edits (117.213.16.168, 117.241.22.202, 59.96.59.242)...so how are you connecting this to your reverts...

for a while I thought this to be some sore hard hitting by a vandal. I saw this (Talk:Social_work#IP-hopper) from your talk page given by the editor, it clearly indicates some sort of malign disposition than anything (even random checks of contributions from ip list you have provided seems to be connected to social work article which indicates this present situation to be a some sort of retaliation-the edit that i made in self esteem based on full copy of this https://dx.doi.org/10.1111%2F1529-1006.01431 says this sort of retaliation is common for who feel their pride or status is wounded...etc.-it is just psychological evidence.)...so how does evade come into this proposition...

I hope you understand motivating vandalism (or whatever this negative behavior is) in a confirming manner to aid sociopath/psychopath tendencies to block every edits from Kerala surrounding psychology or sociology is harmful to wikipedia, highly bothersome to editors and more negatively affects the editor with this crude dispositions and their judgements in encyclopedia while monitoring others in the name of anti-vandalism, this is nicely portrayed in pop psychology through The Second Coming (The Sopranos).— Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.99.38.37 (talk) 15:40, 19 November 2016 (UTC) (from User talk:Sro23/unconfirmed)

I think you pointed me to a sock last week or so, an IP who keeps adding stuff in infoboxes etc., and insults folks in barely passable English.

It's User:Bigshowandkane64. I know you've scolded me in the past for edit warring with these socks, so apologies for doing it again.

Sro23 (talk) 05:02, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

The edits I've been running into, which you have seen also, are irritating and disruptive and should be reverted--but edit warring is typically useless. If the fool wants to leave a message on my talk page, that's fine; they're just exposing themselves for the fool they are. SPI may not do much in terms of a quick response, but please do report to AIV and, if necessary, to RFPP. Revert and if they keep at it, report or notify an admin--that's the ticket, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 13:49, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
