This may be a new Marquis de la Eirron sockpuppet

An IP address just started editing today and immediately (i) reformatted the notes to the List of African-American United States Representatives article, (ii) added an "LGBT Members of Parliament" tag to a British politician, and (iii) made changes to the photos and to the titles of nobility in the List of LGBT politicians in the United Kingdom article. See [1]. What do you think, is this the latest Marquis de la Eirron sockpuppet? AuH2ORepublican (talk) 18:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, AuH2ORepublican. I've blocked that and one other address. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I suspect that the Marquis is now going by "American Political 19." He signed up on September 30 and started furious editing on October 7, mostly on articles involving British and American politicians who are ethnic or religious minorities, who have been convicted of crimes or who have switched parties, including his typical deletion of entire sections, changing photos, and adding categories; he also has made one or two edits regarding titles of nobility. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/AmericanPolitical19. What do you think? AuH2ORepublican (talk) 19:05, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks AuH2ORepublican. I'm investigating. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:21, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Now blocked. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:02, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I see that he made several additional edits yesterday that made it even clearer that he was a Marquis sock. I can't understand that guy--he wastes so much time making idiosyncratic edits that end up getting reverted as soon as his behavior makes it clear that it's him again.

Don't understand where to go?

Hi Cordless Larry. I saw the suggestion re: signing on edit page with 4 Sally Hemings Revenge (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2019 (UTC), and I don't get where I'm supposed to do that. (The directions here are pretty unclear.) Am I doing the right thing? I just added a bunch of additional info and citations, and edited redundant info (didn't delete any content, only combined or streamlinedSally Hemings Revenge (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2019 (UTC) prior writing on an entry).

sorry, I left this on wrong page

Charles Ghigna article rewrite suggestion

Thanks, Larry. I appreciate your help in resolving the problems on my article. As you suggested, I would like to have an independent editor rewrite the article. The independent editor can simply delete most of the entire article and keep only the basic facts of the first two paragraphs. Please let me know if that works for you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghigna (talk • contribs) 17:02, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

I will have a go when I get a chance, Ghigna. Thanks for your message. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:01, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

I've now rewritten the article from scratch using some of the sources you suggested, Ghigna. It can (and I hope will) still be expanded significantly, but the autobiography issue is now resolved and the article as it stands is properly and fully sourced. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:29, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Charles Ghigna - Thank you

Thank you for taking time to rewrite the article. I also wanted to check in with you about the article for my son, CHIP GHIGNA. I see that his article has been tagged for possible removal. If I may, I'd like to offer these three links to objective articles about him that may be useful for a rewrite by an independent editor. Thanks again.

My pleasure, Ghigna. Regarding your son, my concerned was that he doesn't meet the inclusion criteria for a Wikipedia article, which are explained at WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST and summarised at WP:GOLDENRULE. Unfortunately the Bhamwiki sources can't be used as that is a wiki site (i.e. is user-editable) and therefore not considered reliable for Wikipedia's sourcing requirements. The AL source is OK, but isn't on its own enough to demonstrate notability. A few more detailed newspaper articles about your son would probably get him over the line, but I haven't been able to find much with my own searches.

somalis in norway article

Hi am new here and i just want to say that that the reasons for my edits in Somalis in Norway page is becosue i believe that its written in a certain perspective and is purely written in a specific narrative which i believe doesn't hold a fair and balanced description of Somali community in Norway. I have many concerns of the article such as the crime and culture section including the lead. I have rephrased what was written in some of the articles, But i have seen that you reverted them which i understand and respect, I will now address the many concerns of the article in the article talk page. I respect and appreciate your concerns and i apologize if i have undermined any wiki rules and regulations which i will now never repeat in the near future. i will now purely voice my proposals purely in the talk page sorry for any inconveniences i have caused as a result of my actions i am new to wiki kind regards. --Kndnm64 (talk) 18:52, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

That's fine, Kndnm64. I'm aware that the article has problems. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:00, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
