Looks like a good candidate for blacklisting, warning was already ignored, and is clearly futile on these. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 13:38, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

User added WP:QS, WP:SPS source worldribus.org into tens of article on December 26, 2024 and I'm just realizing this now a month later. All made as "minor edit". The edits are suggestive of promotional editing. Graywalls (talk) 12:45, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

God help Wikipedia. An editor called Graywalls actively campaigning against accuracy. This individual has the temerity to describe WorldRibus as a source that requires decontamination! It beggars belief. (Personal attack removed) Urlatherrke (talk) 20:44, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

It's concerning that you're inserting a specific website 300+ times even though nobody else cites that source into Wikipedia. As far as spam is concerned, even if the inserted sources are New York Times or Associated Press pieces, if a specific editor was shoehorning every NYT into articles somewhere hundreds of times, that's a concern too. Graywalls (talk) 23:23, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps I need to spell this out for you as you seem to be only dimly aware of the topic, preferring to flag things instead of looking into them, thereby wasting other people's time. The World Ribus database overs over 7000 peaks and includes prominence data for many mountains with pages on Wikipedia that have empty prominence information fields in their infoboxes. You know some of this because I see you decided to remove what is accurate prominence data and leave it blank again. So 300 is nothing when there are probably nearly 3000 pages on Wikipedia that could have their accuracy improved as a result of many years of meticulous research. If that's a concern, then the platform itself is not worth bothering with and should be actively warned against as a reliable source of mountain information. Urlatherrke (talk) 08:06, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

WP:WINARS. Wikipedia isn't advertised as a reliable source. This being said.. @Beetstra:, I propose worldribus.org be added to blacklist given its simply a self published blog compilation of user generated contents that has been spammed 3oo plus times. Graywalls (talk) 08:15, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Go ahead, the end result is that Wikipedia is worse, less accurate, and folk look elsewhere for proper information. Editors like you seem to have that objective in mind! In reality you ought to be thanking us for improving the accuracy of the information on the platform but that would require both objectivity and emotional intelligence. Urlatherrke (talk) 08:38, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Agreed that this appears to be promotional spamming, Urlatherrke also appears to be taking a strong battleground approach to editing. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 04:12, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

1. It is not spam. 2. Horsey, you are the one of the biggest battlers out there and completely dismissive to boot. How many articles have you added to, and how many of your edits are simply policing others, often reducing the quality of the pages in the process? Perhaps you should look into getting a job in the real world where you can display genuine authority over other people as it seems to be a driving force which remains unfulfilled.

Urlatherrke (talk) 08:10, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

I have added to well over 15,000 articles and if I had to guess 2-5% of my edits (~1,200-3,000 edits) have involved dealing with disruptive editing of one kind or another. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:10, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ribu ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 04:38, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

See also [1] where Urlatherke is adopting the same approach (i.e. Wikipedia is a joke, all the editors are idiots or worse, why should anyone follow any of the policies). Some form of sanction is required here. The user is just an uncivil WP:NOTHERE spammer unprepared to engage in civil policy-based discussion. Axad12 (talk) 08:57, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
