Vandalism pt 28

Serge's 28th iteration of his own personal WP:AIV and WP:RFPP. Feel free to report anything you feel may need admin intervention. Sergecross73 msg me 15:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey Serge. Would you please be able to protect Voyage (ABBA album)? I believe we now have a case of two separate IPs run by the same person, 213.205.240.130 and 84.65.176.159 (the latter of whom's edits are only to this article and its talk—very telling), commenting separately on the talk page and trying to declare a formal consensus has been reached when it hasn't. They are continuing to change the article before a formal consensus has been reached and disregarding BRD. I've reverted the same sort of edits multiple times over the past few days. It's getting tiring. Whoever this person is/these people are, they have repeatedly ignored the existence of the 10 news sources and digital retailer links I've provided that list the two songs as a double A-side single and continued essentially just repeating "they're two separate singles" like a mantra with no evidence other than pointing to a limited run of CD singles (...in 2021).

  • Protected. For what it's worth, there was an IP who started a (vague) discussion about something similar on WT:ALBUMS, but there certainly wasn't any consensus on the matter. Last I checked most discussion was about trying to figure out what they were even talking about. Sergecross73 msg me 15:19, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ive reiterated the final warning, and will block if they violate 3RR/EW (though I don't think they have as of their final 3RR warning?) That said, I have no idea if there is any merit to their argument, as I dont really follow the superhero film world... Sergecross73 msg me 17:28, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Morce Library

Hi Serge. The user Morce Library is a hip hop music editor who was blocked for a week earlier in December for making disruptive edits, including changing quotes. They're up to the same shenanigans again: Changing quotes, changing quotes ×2, citing a dead source to claim it calls an album a genre that it doesn't, removing credited songwriters for no reason, removing more songwriters as well as removing parts of quotes they evidently don't like....and that's just what I've looked at so far. All their edits are like this. It appears they've learned nothing. I pinged the previous blocking admin, Spencer, who recommended I file an ANI report so as to get another admin to assess their behaviour, so in lieu of posting at Drama Central, would you be able to take a look and block if you think it's appropriate? Thanks. Ss112 16:08, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Need help

Hi serge, I'm having some issues here, could you please help me.
1). I made this adding all_music, all_lyrics in track listing not knowing that all_writing includes both music and lyrics on the article Blood Harmony where user Ss112 corrected me [1], I understood and followed it since, but now they're pointing me out for the same thing they told me on the page on one of my older edits [2], and aside from that they tell me there should always be headline, but click here and see, "Smile" and "Yeah!" album don't use it, it is just like creating hyperlink for every word on the page and increasing article's size. The section is specifically for Soundtrack only and below one is for Score so i don't understand the need for unnecessary text.
2). Look here, Hyde (musician), and Fred Again, see how it mentions their stylized name in brackets? I did the same for A Shape of Light, and added full/original name and they reverted it, I don't know understand if there's not full name how would readers ever get to know the original name published? I did made a mistake in info box changing "A Shape of Light" to "a shape of light" which I accept and won't repeat. But isn't adding the full/stylized name correct in brackets?
3). At last, Red Swan. I removed Hyde from instrumental track's name and they re-added it even though Hyde is not featured on the instrumental track and for the note, I don't see a need for note, isn't (feat.), (Instrumental) et cetera part of song title? and note has it's own downsides like you cannot add (A) [B] as they'd appear as ((A) [B]), and I couldn't find a single place on Wikipedia stating the use of note like this and separating phrases like feat. from song title, please provide me an appropriate link for that where I can see it clearly.

Himu, firstly, you're acting as if I reverted your edit involving the all_writing thing on Cars 3. I didn't. As for headline=, you have had this explained to you before. Template:Track listing clearly explains one is needed for accessibility. This is regardless of whether there is a section header already introducing it as a track listing or not. I've previously told you this and linked you to the accessibility talk page discussion where editors agreed in 2020 to include headlines in tables even in instances where they're considered redundant. How many times does an editor have to explain something to you before you stop doing it? This is exhausting. This is how editors get blocked, because their edits become disruptive when they refuse to get it. Stop messing around with the headline= parameter if you don't get it or don't like it.
Secondly, on that article, you didn't mention A Shape of Light as being stylised. You simply stylised the title in all instances in the infobox and lead. We don't need to denote stylisations in parentheses either. If it's the same title—regardless of the cases of letters used—readers are going to be able to recognise it. Readers are not going to suddenly become unable to recognise "a shape of light" is the same thing as the un-stylised "A Shape of Light".
Thirdly, no, "featuring" and "instrumental" are not part of track titles. You are coming to Serge and asking him to provide you with examples to not do things when this was a dispute I had with your edits, where you are again making the same edits I (and Serge) asked you to stop making before. This wasn't necessary to bring here. Ss112 01:27, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, haven't had the chance to review this all yet. Sergecross73 msg me 04:21, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Demo track listings on Limp Bizkit discography

Hi Serge. I noticed following your edit on Limp Bizkit discography that the demo albums have the full track listings listed below them. Do you think this should be removed? I'm leaning towards yes—it seems extraneous. If they were particularly important they'd have articles where these tracks could be listed. Ss112 03:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see the problems on there go deeper than just these demos being listed....being bold and reverting most of it. Ss112 03:19, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I almost did the same thing myself, honestly. Kinda wondered if it was once merged from an AFD discussion on one of the bands demos or something, because as you say, track lists don't belong there. But as you say, it's all entirely unsourced and not well done, so may as well delete. Sergecross73 msg me 04:25, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Regarding an edit

Hey! So, just in case user Ss112 happens to read this, please do not reply, I'm her to seek out Serge's help alright. Serge, I don't understand, you see I made an edit to this article A Shape of Light, now before I added the album's full title in stylized form in parenthesis which user Ss112 removed, now I added it as [stylized name] simply known as "A Shape of Light" which also he removed. I don't understand, where are we supposed to mention it then? He says, it's not significant and stop this [Shape A] and [Shape B] versions crap. We do not get to decide what's significant or not, and user Ss112 is just copying and pasting the full title album from Apple Music without even confirming its authenticity, the full title name they added is wrong, and stylization too put aside, the name's still wrong. It's not the name officially published. If you check with the vinyl or the official website the full title is "a silent voice the movie" original sound track: a shape of light [Shape A]. They told me they'd report me if I made the same edit again, so I will not unless I gain consensus, please help with the topic. thank you! HimuTheEditor (talk) 13:13, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I didn't knew I was doing it on purpose. Let me know what to undo.
