Request for unprotection

Hi, this Draft:Pawan Kumar Joshi is currently protected from recreating due to involvment of a sock. But this player is notable as he has made 4 apperances in I League. Im currently unable to move it to mainspace due to this issue. Need your assistance. Regards. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 12:37, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Copa Alagoas

Hi there GS, long time no see! How are you?

Some other user moved this article to a draftspace and I don't really know why. When I submitted the draft for a revision, it was declined because it was "improperly sourced". I don't know why they refused this one when other state cups in Brazil are basically the same as this article, plus this one is sourced in a better way...

Do you have any inputs on that? Thanks, BRDude⁷⁰ (talk) 13:59, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Bad attitude IP

Evening, when you are on and have chance can you take a look at the edit summaries of this editor and perhaps fire a warning shot. Incredibly aggressive, lots of aspersions, doesn't seem to play well with others unless getting their own way. Edits are usually constructive, but very much done with a terrible tone towards other editors. Not sure if a transient IP, or a previously banned user as seems to show a lot of awareness of policy, aside from other stuff. Koncorde (talk) 22:29, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

[lurking] GS you know exactly who this is. As usual there is some concern as to self-defined 'rules' that must be followed by all (as in FOOTY threads right now) but generally edits are well intentioned – content disputes happen. What gets folks' backs up unnecessarily is the edit summaries that seem to increase in number and deteriorate in tone from enthusiastic to hysterical every so often. Is there any sort of way to limit summaries to only templates or a certain low number of characters to just prevent this getting out of control yet again? Just a quick thought.

@Koncorde and Crowsus: I've left them a brief message about CIVIL. GiantSnowman 08:39, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Cheers GS. I will keep an eye on them for the next few weeks, just wanted something from yourself first to reference. I don't know the history of this IP, but presume based on Crowsus this is a known editor. Koncorde (talk) 09:05, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I suspect I know who it is, but won't reveal due to WP:OUTING. GiantSnowman 12:09, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

re: Contributions of User:Carlão Junigan Magalhães - vandalising infoboxes of Brazilian footballers

Hi. Per your comment at WT:FOOTY on 15 March,[1] I gave User:Carlão Junigan Magalhães a 4im warning on 26 March,[2] but he vandalised again on 31 March.[3]

I reported to AIV,[4] but it was timed out after 4 hours.[5]

I have no doubt this user will be back, and that it is a vandalism only account - all of his contributions since 19 January 2021 have been reverted. It just surprises me he has managed to stay around this long. Would you consider a block, please? Gricehead (talk) 07:48, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Adding an edit regarding his 'fastest ever goal' for Charlton Athletic. Here's the relevant club tweet https://twitter.com/cafcofficial/status/923233199861276673?lang=en

The commentator says "14 seconds" but that's clearly wrong. I think the club tends to go with 9 seconds. Either way, impressive given that the other side had kick-off! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.44.200 (talk • contribs)

Hello GS. To which edit summary are you making reference, if you please? I'm getting much better at those, but am still by no means perfect, and for that i apologise. --85.243.89.253 (talk) 17:06, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

• Working on it, and i definitely lose it when i see bonafide vandalism :( Thanks for the notification, continue the good work (as do i, only working IP-style due to incessant stalking of my work, just found out the person who engaged in that has been blocked TEN times since they're here)! --85.243.89.253 (talk) 17:55, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
