:No worries. I'm just trying to clean it up some so no one tries to target it for deletion or merging. [[User:Sergecross73|<span style="color:green">Sergecross73</span>]] [[User talk:Sergecross73|<span style="color:teal">msg me</span>]] 13:15, 20 June 2024 (UTC) |

Vandalism part 34
Serge's 34th iteration of his own personal WP:AIV and WP:RFPP. Feel free to report anything you feel may need admin intervention. Sergecross73 msg me 00:34, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, based on the editing patterns, I'm wondering if @125.160.112.170 might actually be blocked editor @JustYourImaginaryGuy. Not sure how to report this; I noticed you dealt with the latter editor before. RegalZ8790 (talk) 05:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. I've blocked. Feel free to report incidents like this to me, and if I agree, I'll issue blocks or page protection as needed. Thank you! Sergecross73 msg me 13:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- I figured this was okay, just wanted confirmation. Anyway, he's at it again, now with @125.160.115.29... RegalZ8790 (talk) 01:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 16:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Sergecross73 Back for another round as @125.160.113.185. What can be done with an individual who has no intentions of respecting Wikipedia and its community? RegalZ8790 (talk) 06:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like someone else hit him with a WP:RANGEBLOCK. Hopefully that helps. Sergecross73 msg me 17:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, This user keeps reverting my changes saying they are vandalism. This IP traces back to the subject of the edits who has been using wikipedia to promote his own name, articles, and videos. He doesn't cite his work, he simply pastes it into other articles.
He has done this on the USNVGT page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_vs_Snakeand several others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/35.135.179.48
Surely this is against the terms. Thank you for looking into this. datagod (talk) 🍁 22:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Adding/restoring info without a source is definitely against policy. I don't know enough about these subjects to know who is correct in some of the disputes, nor am I following the accusations of self-promotion, but I'll warn them about the sourcing issues. Sergecross73 msg me 23:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- KikanshaThomas1984 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Seems to be a WP:CIR case. Almost all of their edits in the past month, let alone nearly all edits in general, have been reverted. Typically adds unsourced or completely untrue information to articles, such as listing Takahiro Sakurai as Masahiro Sakurai's child with no evidence other than last name. Their most recent edit was editing the user page of a person who was blocked four months ago. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm suspecting that they actually are that blocked user User:Taqi Inalessa Sany, as they refer to themselves as Taqi. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked. I agree, I'm pretty sure it's block evasion, but even the disruptive editing alone is enough for a block. Sergecross73 msg me 18:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

- Colmedy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Two AIV posts were made about this single purpose editor who WP:OWNs Mac Tonight and Talk:Mac Tonight. He has an editor group listed at User:HectorHawk9, and is a publisher on that subject.[1] He uses WP:ASPERSIONS and edit wars, to dominate anybody who deletes his mountains of WP:FANCRUFT or who tries to assert any Wikipedia policy. He explicitly combats the idea that an encyclopedia is WP:NOT a fan site or a WP:TRIVIA weblog. It's all on the talk page for the user account and the article. — Smuckola(talk) 22:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- They've only made like 1 edit in 3 weeks, and there's very little in the way of talk page discussions within the last month. And as far as I can tell, nothing really came of the AIV/ANI discussions? And it doesn't particularly look like anyone's doing very much to explain to them what they're doing wrong... Sergecross73 msg me 00:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'm short on time (I slept in and gotta run to work crap crap crap) but can you look into Ariaslaga a little for me? Most definitely a WP:NOTHERE case. Panini! • 🥪 13:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you took any amount of time to address this on what basically amounts to an unpaid hobby rather than ensure you aren’t late to your paid job, you clearly have your priorities straight. Ariaslaga (talk) 13:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks. Figured it was warranted but didn't have time to look into it yet. Sergecross73 msg me 13:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- And I'll assure you that I wasn't late, but I needed at least some time to drink coffee and watch my morning show before going to work. If I don't have that it ruins my day lol. Thanks ferret! Panini! • 🥪 01:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

- We Preform, We Rewrite the Norm (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Seems to be WP:CIR. Restoring articles that were redirects in abysmal quality. Recently restored Count Bleck just by copy-pasting the text from the Mario Wiki.

Question about Spoilers
Hello,
I didnt knew about Wikipedia spoiler policy and I understand why you reverted my change on the The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky page.
However, I believe that the part that I hid doesnt belong in a "Synopsys" section, as it specifically reveal a small part of the ending, it's hard to see it as an "encyclopedic purpose". It could be relevant in a "Detailed Plot" section with the whole plot written explicitely.
"Sections that frequently contain spoiler warnings—such as plot summaries, episode lists, character descriptions, etc.—were already clearly named to indicate that they contain plot details. Therefore, further disclaimers would be redundant and unnecessary."
=> I dont think this apply to the synopsis section.
Would it be possible to simply remove it ?
Thank you CPedit (talk) 15:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, I understand many parts of the internet are sensitive to hiding/avoiding spoilers, but not Wikipedia. In regards to the rest of what you've said, I don't think outright removal is the answer, but building a more comprehensive plot summary around it would work. I haven't played the game in about a decade though, so I personally wouldn't be the best person for the job... Sergecross73 msg me 15:09, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer !
- As I expected, the best thing would be to add a "Detailed plot" or "Plot summary" section, separated from the Synopsis (I thin I saw this in many movies pages). Not sure if I can do it myself, maybe I will try to find people to do so.
- Thanks. CPedit (talk) 15:14, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- If anyone writes up a rough version, I can try to clean it up. I don't recall it enough to write it from scratch but I could cleanup an already established version. Sergecross73 msg me 16:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Noted, thanks !
- Is removal really impossible for now ? (not sure when anyone will be able to do the full plot paragraph). Because really, it has nothing to do with a Synopsis, as "a short resume of the general story", that the first paragraph is doing well. To be honest I almost see it as a malicious addition, it's like writing the ending of a movie on the DVD box. CPedit (talk) 16:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- You're free to start a talk page discussion and get other input, but you're not likely to garner any support if your primary argument is largely about spoilers (and for a 20 year old game no less.)
- Side note: Hopefully you're not the anonymous editor who just decided to go rogue and just start deleting it anyways. That's not going to work. Sergecross73 msg me 17:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- I see, thank you for your insight. Hopefully one of these day I have the time to do a full "Plot" section.
- (Of course not, if I bother creating an account and having all this talk with you it's not to do that, especially since I know how it works now...) CPedit (talk) 15:42, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Didn't mean to accuse you of anything, its just that some people do go that route. Sergecross73 msg me 16:43, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Pop'n Land
Hello there! I hope you're doing well. Hey, i just found out that the game on the Mega CD list of canned games, Pop'n Land, is indeed a conversion of Cocoron from the Famicom. I left some sources on the talk page of canned games for the Mega CD so you can double check the info too :) Roberth Martinez (talk) 22:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll look into it. I'm not super familiar with either, so might take me a moment to get up to speed enough to comment on it. Sergecross73 msg me 23:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Found a source that confirms your suspicions here. Sergecross73 msg me 16:51, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
New User, Odd Behaviour
Hi,
Asking an admin as I'm unsure what to do about this. There's a new user I've just come across and they seem to be trawling the recent changes list and just robotically undoing recent changes and spamming talk pages with user templates as a result. I think it's just overenthusiasm but it just... weird. Would you mind taking a look at it? Trudy Walker (talk · contribs)
Regards, Rambling Rambler (talk) 17:01, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello,
- Its me. I promise I'm not a bot. I recently started editing Wikipedia and I guess I am kind of trawling the recent changes list to get more edits. Sorry about that. I guess I should start doing more copyediting or something like that. Thanks for telling me about my "odd behaviour." :) Trudy Walker (talk) 18:43, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate the enthusiasm, but you should probably slow it down a bit. You ought to be pretty proficient on your own before you're out there lecturing and warning others. Sergecross73 msg me 21:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, sorry about that. I'll try to do more copyediting and less trawling the recent changes list. :)
