- Consistently Heinous (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Received multiple warnings to stop adding inappropriate WikiProject Banners to article talk pages but went back and re-added them. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 19:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

- Looks like he's on the verge of needing something, but I don't think he's messed up again since ferret gave him the warning of being indeffed if he adds any more unsourced content? Sergecross73 msg me 11:52, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- I've been waffling on whether they've crossed the line or not. -- ferret (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- To me it looked like they do the same things some other problematic editors who refuse to use sources do instead of changing - simply make minor tweaks that don't require sources. Which usually isn't sustainable and leads to unsourced editing again when they think no one is looking anymore. So a block will probably be needed...eventually. Unless they turn it around.

- Can you give me a little more background on what's going on here? Sergecross73 msg me 15:15, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:Cleter merged content per Talk:Beyblade#Requested_merge_12_October_2023 but that discussion has not closed and people oppose the move. Looks like he stopped eidt warrring though.
- He created a second account User:Jalos92 which was blocked indefinitely and he was warned. Timur9008 (talk) 16:09, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- I gave them a final warning, and a bit of an explanation, as I'm not sure all the templated responses necessarily conveyed the issues. But there's little room for confusion now. Let me know if it happens further. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 17:25, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, sorry, I did miss this. It looks like it came through around the same time as a bunch of other messages.
- I gave the guy a more comprehensive warning about sources, but since his damage to the project is fairly minimal (he edits pretty infrequently) I didn't think it was time to jump to a block yet. Sergecross73 msg me 12:24, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- JustYourImaginaryGuy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) This guy is completely robotically obsessed with ruining images and getting reverted, sometimes by himself. They're almost all replacing photos with no problems, or just blatantly downgraded in quality, with the subject's face obscured, or from past years for no reason. Just needlessly disruptive, even of Good articles like Steve Jobs. Check the Talk page of endless blatant pointless violations. All falsely marked WP:MINOR for no reason at all and with no WP:EDITSUMMARY. He even already got blocked for spamming page protection requests and still did it repeatedly after, like this. It's a completely disruptive and unresponsive nuisance. Thank you. — Smuckola(talk) 06:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Final warned. Sergecross73 msg me 18:00, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- As I sadly predicted, he carried right on. He replaced three photos using no edit summary and falsely flagged as minor, including one without updating the caption[1]. And of course no response to anybody on Talk. — Smuckola(talk) 21:59, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- He kept ignoring me despite another shot too, so he's is blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 13:17, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

- Sam Willard (talk · contribs) This guy is WP:MEATBOT spamming WP:OR about supposed census data with no sources and with WP:LEAD violation. Maybe it's AGF of the lowest order of WP:CIR but I believe he will never stop or acknowledge without a block. Is there a mass revert function? Thanks. — Smuckola(talk) 10:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked. While I'd be more sympathetic if it was simply someone trying to learn the website still, some of the edits were just blatant vandalism that there's no reason to believe anyone would think are okay, whether you understood the website or not. I did give them a path to being unblocked though. We'll see if they engage or not. Sergecross73 msg me 17:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ok thanks. It is an unreal scam, that Wikipedia has a corporate prime directive to honeypot everybody on the planet into editing this site and officially uses every lie that we desperately need them and their every contribution, without requiring or even offering any qualifications or training or reputation, and barely even an automated attempt to scan for or report blatant rulebreaking. Or even track abuse once we dig it up! The toxic positivity culture mandates that we coddle the abusers and blame the victims for being needlessly angered or for reacting responsibly, and nobody ever implicates or even mentions the corrupt governance, or even ensures the cleanup. This just cheaply hides behind Internet anonymity, and no physical system could ever survive this culture of abuse akin to American gun laws where pages like this one are our "thoughts and prayers". I don't even know where in WMF to track and vote on such policies. So anyway, is there any mass-revert function for this guy's meatbot spam? He injected alleged 2020 numbers in articles that have no 2020 sources! — Smuckola(talk) 21:46, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know of any mass-revert options outside of WP:ROLLBACK rights, which I'd probably less than what you're looking for. Sergecross73 msg me 00:29, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

- ComputerUserUser (talk · contribs) This is a WP:TENDENTIOUS problem user who is 100% aggressively and hatefully combative and edit warring as you can see on his Talk page. If you disagree, you're wrong. If you help, you're wrong. Never an WP:EDITSUMMARY, tons of needlessly spammed micro-edits per article, and tons of needless edits among some good edits. Lots of WP:OR because he is absolutely WP:NOTHERE and this is his nostalgic toy. He WP:OWNs this site, and is at the point of vindictiveness against correction. This and the last two editors I reported here have aggressively obliterated countless hours of my time (and of others) just reviewing and often reverting, I state every bit of help and I state my goal of enhancing their efforts and preventing them from being blocked, they are hateful, there are more in the swamp that I just can't even bring myself to report because I doubt anybody will do anything, and it super sucks. — Smuckola(talk) 21:03, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Smuckola appears to be feeling upset due to his difficulty in managing situations where others exhibit behavior similar to his own. ComputerUserUser (talk) 23:33, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- This is too vague to take action on. I'd need difs. And context too. It's easy for me to take action when people make blatant falsehoods like "Nintendo created Mario in 1864". I can't just eyeball issues related to tweaks on things like fluorescent lamps and LCD screens. Sergecross73 msg me 00:28, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ok sorry bro, but for starters did ya check his exhaustive Talk page and his preposterously abusive responses that disavow the existence of any and all policy because he WP:OWNs the world? He's explicitly anti WP:EDITSUMMARY and anti MOS:TENSE and such, way more than all the others lately. Thanks for listening and trying. I can also dig up diffs from the timeframe of those warnings on his Talk page. He has a WP:TENDENTIOUS pattern of spitefully vindictive edit warring like this latest one, where he arbitrarily reverts a perfectly correct edit simply because I am the one who made it. Regarding his above comment, I had to read it several times because it's so nonsensically twisted with spite, but he's simply taunting us for even questioning any of his edits on this site that he WP:OWNs. I'll try to look for more but I've been so wrecked by endless abusers for so long, including two problem editors who also happen to be admins, one of whom I emailed you extensively about and mentioned here twice a few months ago. I haven't made any new content forever and I see countless others give up and leave Wikipedia. — Smuckola(talk) 01:46, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

- Jimthing (talk · contribs) is exactly the same, except only WP:OR or garbage citations. He cites mainly nothing at all, secondly tech support notes or forum posts, and occasionally a lot of anti-WP:RS like Daily Mail which are so bad that the system flagged a warning and NikkiMaria has auto-deleted them. But no WP:RS ever, and he aggressively combats the very notion of WP:RS as you can see on Apple community, Shazam (app), and their talk pages, especially here where he edit warred and generally combated an admin who was severely remiss in not blocking him. He always instantly deleted all my warnings and my exhaustive attempts to help on his Talk page, without response, or gave an insult once and deleted. WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. With ComputerUserUser and Jimthing (and countless others), I gave very unsolicited tutoring and encouragement, reviewed all their edit history, dutifully (often reluctantly) clicked "thank" on each good one, but received only spite. He WP:OWNs this site. At the very least, you could engage them please. — Smuckola(talk) 21:12, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- You have a history of overstating and misrepresenting facts, don't you. As per my response to your previous cherry-picking my edits and hysterics here. Jimthing (talk) 11:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Smuckola makes a few good points - generally speaking, it looks like you should revert less and discuss more, and probably be a bit more careful with the sources you use. But that aside, I'm confused as to why you were reported on Feb 19, when you had been inactive for 3 days. This one is also too vague to act on. I don't see how this would have escalated to a block yet, let alone after 3 days of not editing at all. Sergecross73 msg me 12:10, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

- Hey Serge, might you be able to protect Bbno$? An IP from Vietnam has been blanking content, removing formatting and reverting constructive edits [2] [3] [4]. Ss112 15:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. So, the edit warring and lack of edit summaries or discussion is of course problematic...but I feel like some of their edits have merit. I'm blanking on the Wiki alphabet soup link, but retail/distribution/storefront links like that generally shouldn't be used as sources on WP:PROMOTIONal grounds. All those Apple Music links really ought to go... Sergecross73 msg me 16:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- The editor is now blocked for blanking sections of another article. To clarify: I didn't add the sources. I don't really care whether they're there or not, but to note, the entries are unsourced without them. I am aware of WP:AFFILIATE, I cite it all the time myself and I do not personally source content to Apple Music or Spotify. I haven't worked extensively on this article and only came across the edit by chance, but this is indisputably disruptive behaviour. Reverting six intermediate constructive edits of mine for nothing and edit warring to retain the edits makes me overlook any apparent "merit" their edit(s) may have. I still think the article should be protected. Ss112 21:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to suggest that you did anything wrong or didn't know any of that, I just meant to say that there seemed to be some salvageable aspects to their otherwise disruptive edits. Sergecross73 msg me 21:20, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Property Vandalism: Misattribution of Music Genre Origin on Wikipedia by registered administrator[edit]
I am reaching out to report a critical issue concerning the accuracy of information on Wikipedia, specifically regarding the origin of a music genre. My recent registration on Wikipedia was prompted by the discovery of false information attributing the origin of a music genre established in South Africa to Nigeria, as claimed by a registered user.
Upon reviewing the Wikipedia page on [the gender 'Amapiano'], I was troubled to find that the origin of the music genre was inaccurately represented, falsely labeled as originating from Nigeria. As someone familiar with the history and cultural significance of the genre, which was established in South Africa, I am deeply concerned about the implications of this error and the potential dissemination of misinformation to readers.
To rectify this issue, I am kindly requesting that the misattribution of the music genre's origin be thoroughly reviewed and corrected to accurately reflect its establishment in South Africa.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.
I will be available to provide further clarification or assistance if needed. EncyclopediaEureka (talk) 23:36, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there. While music is one of the areas I edit, I can't say I'm personally very knowledgeable about South African or Nigerian music genre. So I can't personally agree or disagree with you. But the best way my to handle issues and disputes is by starting up a WP:TALKPAGE discussion at the article's talk page, and explaining your concern there. A heads up - per WP:V, most statements require proof through reliable sources. So you may want to find some sources that back up your stance. Sergecross73 msg me 23:46, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi Wikipedia Administrator
kindly please assist, EncyclopediaEureka (talk) 23:46, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Experienced editor adding the full lyrics to a copyrighted song[edit]
Just letting you know as I found it strange, but it's not every day you see an experienced editor adding the full lyrics for a classic rock song to Wikipedia like they're not aware of our policy on copyright or not think that that would be a copyright violation. And moreover, the fact that nobody cared for nearly a whole month until I just removed it, tagged the page for copyvio-revdel, and warned them not to do that. Ss112 14:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, that is pretty weird. And obviously not something they should be doing. I can't say I'm familiar with the editor though, so I can't say for sure that they should "know better" per se, but that certainly is a high edit count for such a mistake...

Deletion discussion about Jeff Friedl[edit]
Hello Sergecross73, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Jeff Friedl, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeff Friedl (2nd nomination).
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|Chris troutman)). And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

BlaccCrab back on another registered account[edit]
I'm not necessarily expecting you to block them based on my say-so, but I'm entirely sure Chopdrop1999 is BlaccCrab, already back after they used that IP address in September last year that @Ad Orientem: blocked. I can tell their tone and the style of their edits from a mile off, always buzzing around on hip hop articles: [5] [6]. They were using 98.117.49.13 until they registered the account last month, obviously because their fighting over what's a "promo single" and what's not (as you might know is part of BlaccCrab's MO) was not working out for them (reverting Issan Sumisu on a Sum 41 article).
- To establish BlaccCrab's previous prolific interest in Sum 41: reverting Issan Sumisu years ago (among 20 other edits), and this on the new account, and editing a Sum 41 single.
- Editing Jeezy discography here, editing it as BlaccCrab several years ago.
- Editing the Chainsmokers discography here, block evading after BlaccCrab's block here, BlaccCrab editing it.
Among other connections. As I pointed out in September of last year, they will always return to the same topics. Ss112 21:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Also, they have official numbers now. Siobhan is 7701, Zuzana is 7702, and Cory is 7703. Hpylori808 (talk) 18:27, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
