Ruse by Alleditersmustfollowrules?

86.163.56.201 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) deleted content again on cartoon articles. Shortly afterwards, Alleditersmustfollowrules (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) account was created and reverted 86.163.56.201's edits. Then the hordes jumped on Alleditersmustfollowrules and reverted Alleditersmustfollowrules's reverts, leaving the articles in 86.163.56.201's state. Looks like a ruse to me. I reverted most to their pre-86.163.56.201 state. Those claims such as It is one of the very few shorts in which Tom emerges victorious over Jerry. have been there for several years. I suppose the cartoon is the source for most part... Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:56, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Fayenatic london. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Bayer (surname) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. – Fayenatic London 23:47, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

This is not an instance where WP:ROLLBACK is acceptable. No source means precisely no source. So I suggest you find one or two to support the masses being claimed, or stand down. Osterrich (talk) 00:09, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Mughal Sikh wars edit

Can you explain your edit?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mughal-Sikh_Wars&diff=754271277&oldid=754230533

Previous version was nearly a blanket removal of whole longstanding content which now sourced, Mughals had defeated Banda but that's not war was all about. Sikhs defeated Mughals, "but was defeated by the Sikhs near Gurdaspur, where they had built a stronghold."[1] Capitals00 (talk) 05:42, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

You restored an Amanharleen sock's preferred version of the page. The only difference was you slapped a few google books in the references section. [2] But I guess that's better than zero sources. Sro23 (talk) 05:48, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Question

Hi, Sro23. I was wondering why you reverted the edit cause I wasn't sock puppetry, I was fixing the table cause it had grammar and some episodes were wrong according to IMDb and other famous people in acting that's how the table is supposed to look like so please undo it. Thanks so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Star Bucks (talk • contribs) 18:01, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Foul-mouthed IP address

I have been having a conversation with this IP address. I ordered them to cease and desist in their disruptive edits and vulgar language, but they declined. They even insulted me in their last edit summary. I need your help. Homechallenge55 (talk) 21:43, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

That's User:Bigshowandkane64 being horrible as always. Unfortunately there's not much that can be done, since this person has an unlimited arsenal of IP's at their disposal. You can try reporting the IP's as they appear to WP:AIV or requesting semi-protection of the pages they target at WP:RFPP, but that's about it. Sro23 (talk) 21:55, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Where next

I was denied indefinite protection on the grounds that I already have a temporary one in place. Is there somewhere else to go to address the issue?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:39, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

That really sucks. What a bunch of BS that decline reason was. I guess the next step is to start a thread on WP:ANI, but to be honest I've never felt comfortable doing that unless it's absolutely necessary. Would you be okay waiting for the current protection level to expire in a few days and the inevitable happening, ridiculous as that sounds? If they still refuse to add indefinite or at least long-term EC protection to your talk after that, I will be so mad and for sure will bring the issue to ANI's attention. I'm sure if we explain the situation, there's got to be more sympathetic administrators out there. Sro23 (talk) 00:26, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

I guess that is my only option. Zzuzz seems to know who this vandal is, User:Hamish Ross. Unbelievable to think he has been doing this for almost 10 years to people.

Strike that, I used the vandalism you removed earlier to convince zzuzz to move forward with indefinite protection. Again, thank you for everything.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:17, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Well that was easy. Thanks Zzuuzz for that, I'm glad things finally got resolved. Sro23 (talk) 08:06, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

SPI talk page

Hi Sro23, I felt I had to delete the Talk page you created. I understand that people have to vent, particularly those of us who spend a fair amount of time at SPI, but it wasn't really a good idea to do it in that way. Why don't you contact me privately about this account? Regards.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:21, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry for creating that talk page to vent my cryptic frustrations. @Thomas.W: @Bbb23: I'll probably regret this, but I'm going to give the names here because I hate writing emails. Sure hope the user doesn't see this.

There are actually a few accounts I think are socks; two have already been blocked and one hasn't. The first is Martin Trackers. That account was blocked as a suspected Cow cleaner 5000 sock, right around the time another obvious sock was going on a vandalism rampage. If you really examine the behavior before it started the vandalism, you can tell it definitely isn't Cow cleaner 5000. I think this was Evlekis impersonating CC5k. I made a comment about it on the SPI but it was just kind of ignored. The second user is Dumfounded watsD. Aggressive to other users, was blocked for unrelated reasons. I believe the current good hand account is Osterrich. When they first started editing, they had this kinda act where they would remove everything that's unsourced (which I still don't really understand), and when I used rollback on them they got so mad and I thought to myself, "that's such an Evlekis thing" (Ever notice that? He seems to dislike rollbackers, I guess because he had that right taken away at some point). I really have no solid proof this user is a sock, aside from the behavioral nuances and weak connections to the other two blocked users (such as here, here and here). So we just have to wait until he decides to reveal himself. Or I could be wrong. Could have just done WP:AGF an embarrassingly massive disservice. I said I know this is Evlekis, but it feels like I've been wrong about a lot of things lately. Sro23 (talk) 05:02, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

You'll be comforted to know that you were right about this. All three accounts are  Confirmed to Evlekis. I've tagged the blocked accounts and blocked/tagged Osterrich. Not surprisingly, when doing the check, I found several other socks along the way. Don't ever worry about being "wrong". As far as I'm concerned, you have an excellent track record. We're all wrong occasionally, goes with the territory.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:06, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

I was about to try filing my first WP:SPI report based on the behavior at Palantir Technologies and Peter Thiel, but I see you beat me to it. Checkuser says "unrelated" though, so that's a puzzlement.  —jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:20, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

January 2017

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 blockage. Thank you. LibertyDash (talk) 01:25, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Yeah. Takes two to edit war. Sro23 (talk) 01:27, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Hm... see my note here perhaps... --JustBerry (talk) 06:39, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

I see your note...I think you might be confused. Like I said, it's probably Nate Speed. Sro23 (talk) 06:44, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

@Sro23: Aha, I found the users I was referring to (see the edit summaries with "PUNCHES YOU AGAIN"). Are those users also related to Nate? --JustBerry (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, the user seems to have paused for the past three days on the article DreamWorks Classics ^{(edit history)}. --JustBerry (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, because it was semi-protected for a while. Sro23 (talk) 19:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

About time ^(permalink). --JustBerry (talk) 02:21, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

G'day from Oz; thanks for running the SPI. I would have opened one myself but I travelled interstate for a few days and an SPI is more complex than I would be comfortable in doing on my smartphone.

I wasn't even aware of Mostninjasneverdie and Friendsisthebest, but their editing histories would have caused me to apply the Duck Test to them as well.

Yes, definitely appears to be a problematic editor. However my understanding is you're supposed to allow creators at least 10-15 minutes to work on their articles before slapping a speedy deletion template on it. Sro23 (talk) 03:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

About 191.116.95.197

Hello, nice to meet you, according to the contributions of this IP: 191.116.95.197, is that IP a sockpuppet of UnderArmourKid? Please tell me. Abdullah Almarri - A.W.S.T. (talk) 06:17, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Ah rats

Apologies for missing one of the troll posts S. I have reported this one to AIV. I also posted a RFPP since I did not know if you were on WikiP or not. Feel free to remove it if you want. Enjoy the rest of your weekend in spite of this. MarnetteD|Talk 05:33, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. There's an edit filter in place that seems to be helping. Sro23 (talk) 05:44, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Alcohol Justice Criticism

The articles for many other organizations which has been subject to criticism, such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving, mention the criticism the organization has been subject to. Why can't the article for Alcohol Justice mention the criticism that organization has been subject to? 2600:1002:B11E:E896:9857:AE94:7B6F:3C3D (talk) 03:30, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

To answer the question you posted on my talk page, none of the edits you referenced were done by me. There are a lot of IP addresses in that format, used by many different people, some of them happening to be IP-hopping vandals. There are also legitimate editors who have IP addresses in that format. For that reason, you should not assume that all those IP addresses belong to an IP-hopping vandal. 2600:1002:B11E:E896:9857:AE94:7B6F:3C3D (talk) 20:54, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Mayorkun

Good day editor , I am not sure you look at the case of everything before Nominating Mayorkun for speedy deletion. I saw your message at my talk page and have explained everything you need to know at Mayorkun talk page, If you are still not Satisfied with the explanation, I think an administrator have to look at it and close the speedy deletion, Thanks you .--Donald422 (talk) 08:29, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Category:Avengers members

Hello Sro23. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Category:Avengers members, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: An 11 year old CfD might not reflect current consensus, take it to CfD again. Thank you. SoWhy 19:06, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Then don't screw me. I have put the sources in Jack Woltz, I put the original story of Julio Jimenez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2WX5tAoIZY. If you're an ignorant that's your problem. --VengadorJusticiero (talk) 22:47, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Then don't use insulting edit summaries like a common vandal. Is that too much to ask, to use accurate summaries? When I see something like this, my first impression of you is "this person is clearly just a troll". Sro23 (talk) 22:57, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

You jerk. I'm not a troll. A troll never gave you a message. Also I gave you a little source but you never want hear me. Don't screw me please. --VengadorJusticiero (talk) 23:04, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, as discussed on the Synthpop article, we need to be more general about the intro. If you look on the New wave music page, you will see that New wave is a Synonym of Synthpop. Let me know what you think, cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmwnick2 (talk • contribs) 02:49, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you again...

...For your long-term protection of my talk page. Although I am tempted, I did not read the comments made by the troller thanks to your speedy reverts. It makes it a lot easier for me not to see them; I doubt they were very complimentary. I e-mailed an admin who has been working on the issue so hopefully this is the last outburst from this sockmaster. I do not want to go into much detail since it's obvious whoever is doing this is monitoring my edit history.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Sro23. You have new messages at Jackninja5's talk page.
Message added 05:58, 26 February 2017 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Sorry, I thought it counted as a warning so it shouldn't be removed. The Ninja5 Empire (Talk) 05:58, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I see. But users are allowed to remove even the templated warnings as well. See WP:BLANKING. It's assumed they have read the warnings. Sro23 (talk) 06:02, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Crystal Spring, Minnesota

Hi-I started an article about Crystal Spring (community), Minnesota an unincorporated community in Winona County, Minnesota. However, I ran into problems with the redirect. Initially the article was Crystal Spring, Minnesota and I changed it to Crystal Spring (community), Minnesota hoping that would clear up the redirect problem-it has not. Would you please help with the redirect problems. the unincorporated community has an GNIS and it does exists. Thank you-RFD (talk) 19:17, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

My apologies-I misread and confused Crystal Spring with Crystal Lkae-RFD (talk) 19:22, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

No worries, I like to monitor Special:ShortPages, where I noticed that page and wasn't sure what exactly you were trying to do with it, but I'm glad now everything's been straightened out. In the future, if you ever want to move a page to a new title but can't, you can follow the instructions located at WP:RM. Sro23 (talk) 19:44, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Who's this?

This is somebody, but I can't remember who for the life of me. Do you recall by any chance? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 00:19, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I agree it's probably not a new user, but I have no idea who. POV nationalistic edit warriors are one of the most common types of sockpuppets/sockmasters, there's got to be hundreds and hundreds of them. Sro23 (talk) 00:36, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Specifically, I recall an SPI over the past 1-2 weeks that had exactly single letter creations of userpage, user talk, and user sandbox as the first three edits as one of the traits of the master. bah - guess I'll have to dig through my contribs to find it. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 03:42, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: I found another one; Special:Contributions/Didar1r. Sro23 (talk) 16:26, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

SPI filed here. Sro23 (talk) 17:04, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! If it isn't handled by tomorrow, I'll go through the evidence. I'm out of town and on mobile today, so can't do too much. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 17:52, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Further block evasion

Hello Sro23, Just to let you know that the block evader WelcometoJurassicPark/IP:89.132.32.170 has again re-surfaced as 89.132.54.125 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), making exactly the same "edits" and from the same location as before. I have managed to revert the edits made regarding the World Trade Center and informed Acroterion, but due to family circumstances, have not had the time to revert the rest of these rather silly edits. Just thought you would like to be informed. Best regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 22:11, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

A big thank you to The Voidwalker and Chrissymad who took the time to revert the IP's disruption. Sro23 (talk) 00:20, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Jade Goody

An IP messaged me regarding my reverting of them on this page, and I'm seeing that you tagged them as long-term abuse. Who are they and what is the exact behavior? I left the next edit alone not knowing for sure what was up, figuring that you'd come around again, and sure enough you did. :) Home Lander (talk) 19:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

It's block evasion by The abominable Wiki troll. The edit summaries and IP range he's using basically confirm this. Sro23 (talk) 23:37, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Based on this I've reverted again and requested the page be protected since multiple IPs are being used. Home Lander (talk) 02:30, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

I can range block the /64. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:40, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Appreciated. Home Lander (talk) 02:59, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Dude... cool it. Obviously you aren't from Northern New England. Please leave the edits on Candlepin Bowling alone. Me and a bunch of others have tried to keep it there. There are lists of slang on EVERY Maine candlepin bowling center that has those words included. Do you want one of us to take a picture of the lanes and send here? All the other slang words aren't sourced either yet they stay intact (althought they ARE real slang). PLease don't touch again. New Suit Leet Eet Eet (talk) 01:50, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

I just blocked this user as a sock of Kazaro then I noticed you removed your sock tag. Any reason why? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:51, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

There's no particular reason why, I just hadn't noticed that someone had opened this, and decided it would be wise to refrain from doing any tagging before that had closed. Sro23 (talk) 19:19, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Good job trying to fix and clean up Bill Goldberg. That article is a damn mess with all the socks. I can't even keep up anymore. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ^{Talk to me} 03:41, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

You said "WBDTD" is a present company Scijacked (talk) 18:15, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

You made a mistake

On User talk:WhoaHoa, you tagged the account as suspected TAWT, but it is in fact actually Mangoeater1000. He set up the account to leave this shocking comment[4] on one of my Italian IPs, after the Bill Goldberg edit war. I responded on User talk:WhoaHoa using another Italian IP. Only fair that the right LTA gets the right tag, right?

Oh, and Mangoeater is doing the rounds, making IP edits on innumerable users' talk pages, asking them to restore his sock section at Bill Goldberg. So watch out for that. All the best. 82.221.133.50 (talk) 20:35, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Axel Braun

I noticed that you have reverted to Hullabaloo Wolfowitz's revision based on two web archive file that he just posted. Those are not the current versions of the same articles. Vanity Fair has since rectified the wrong name Alessandro Ferro and the same page now shows the correct name Alessandro Re as you can see if you click on the current link. Same with the XBIZ article by Rhett Pardon, which has since been rectified . It appears that Hullabaloo Wolfowitz is consciously vandalizing Braun's page, and judging from his talk page he has a habit of engaging in disruptive behavior and edit wars, which is the antithesis of what the Wikipedia community stands for. Thank you for your attention on the matter, and please let me know your thoughts. 2605:E000:2D8E:BA00:D86:D2E9:2CE2:630C (talk) 06:16, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Recovering a deleted article

User:Bearcat deleted the article, all I did was tag it for deletion. Maybe if you ask nicely, he will userfy it for you.
