Vandalism pt 13

Here's the 13th iteration of Serge's personal WP:AIV. Let me know if you like me to look into any instances that you feel may require warnings, blocks, or page protections. Sergecross73 msg me 16:23, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I had been trying to hold off on that, as there was an IP or two, at least in the past, who were pretty prolific in editing/maintaining the page. But you're right, there's been a talk page discussion ongoing, but the IP has refused to participate, and just made the change anyways, so I've protected it. Sergecross73 msg me 15:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I looked into this, just never responded. I agree his additions are bad, and he's being tiresome to editors...but I feel like he hasn't quite broken that final warning yet though. His edits since the final warning were more along the line of "sloppy" than "vandalism/disruptive" I think. He's on super thin ice though, for sure. Sergecross73 msg me 12:43, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Protected the 2K Games article, as that seems to be the place hit the most times, and it stops the problem without blocking them. (Still hard to tell if edits are in good faith or not. Or maybe I'm just in a forgiving mood today. Wait and let it pass. ;) ) Sergecross73 msg me 19:30, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I often times give up on maintaining infoboxes - there's so many people doing it wrong I oftentimes forget what the right way is. I can protect some more if they're hitting up the same articles. Have they even acknowledged any of the concerns you or anyone else has had with their edits? Sergecross73 msg me 17:14, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Warnings from multiple editors at the original IP's talk page are unanswered. The editor definitely reads edit notes though, cause when they redo their edits they leave notes like "i don't know how to source you do it for me" or "but divisions before parents". It's still all unsourced, and I can't find this Take-Two annual report he's working off of supposedly. If they'll at least drop putting "of Parent" in the type field I'll just ignore it.... Type and parent are separate fields. -- ferret (talk) 17:19, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See also, edit patterns of 60.241.116.90 (talk · contribs). Obviously Falongen is now hiding behind IPS/anonymous editing to quack like a duck.... and almost got away with it too. (Edited to add - just noticed this IP has been blocked so obviously someone else spotted them...) Mabalu (talk) 11:01, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that looks like him, with all the questionable redirects. I've blocked the first IP. I don't usually like to block IPs that aren't all that active, but the edits, while infrequent, are consistently his type of edits, so it appears to be an IP address that's just to him, and not a public library computer or something like that, so I doubt it'd affect anyone else but him. Sergecross73 msg me 12:39, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same request for Toadies page. It's what made me notice him in the first place, and despite other editors also reverting his edits there, he keeps trying to make the same edits. That page was even protected for a day after I reported it to WP:AIV, but he's back to doing it again. This time he added a whole bunch of junk sources, but since multiple other editors were reverting him there too, it's clear there's no consensus for the genre edit he's pushing. Shelbystripes (talk) 19:14, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • He'd left that one alone for a bit, after a one-day protection and I added some additional sources. I'm worried he's going to return to pages where he tried before. Thanks for your help. Shelbystripes (talk) 16:53, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello again. I have two things I'd like to ask you about. First, the Undertale article gets vandalized by unregistered or newly registered users pretty much daily - do you think a temporary semi protection would be in order? Secondly, would you be able to close this requested move discussion and do the moves? (the target pages are redirects with history). Cheers--IDVtalk 17:54, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just checking if you forgot to do it, or if there was something else preventing you from closing/moving the AA articles (either way, no worries). Anarchyte already closed the discussion and put speedy deletion templates on the redirects, but it's been like 30 hours and they're still there... could you take a look at it?--IDVtalk 12:50, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • No problem, and thanks. The move seems to be correct, but the talk pages (and talk archives and GA review) haven't been moved. I have never seen the admin tools, but I recall hearing about an option to automatically move all sub-pages when moving an article or talk page, so maybe that can be used.--IDVtalk 13:02, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I looked at the page history and went cross-eyed. The article is a bit of a steaming pile of something, and needs a major overhaul/redo, but it's not really an area I have much connection to/interest in. I mainly keep a tab on it since Malan Breton's PR got rather epically busted for conflict of interest editing. I wonder if some of the IP editing might be the PR, actually, or their successor, as if I were MB I wouldn't have wanted Jason Benz carrying on as my PR... Mabalu (talk) 13:11, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wow you are fast. That's some Sonic-level speed there, thanks! Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 14:39, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bahaha, yes, "gotta go fast". I don't spend all that much time at AN/ANI, but its on my watchlist, and I'm usually quick to jump in if I see someone who I commonly interact with out there, to see what's going on. That being said, you can always post this sort of thing on my talk page if you want to by-pass the "wildcard" that ANI can be sometimes. Sergecross73 msg me 14:53, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
One anonymous user is making edits continuously and does not provide a source for the supplied information. I would like him blocked or something on the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U page. I recently reverted the page back to the original edit. This edit was made:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Super_Smash_Bros._for_Nintendo_3DS_and_Wii_U&diff=next&oldid=724225162 as well as the others before it. Zacharyalejandro (talk) 00:09, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page protected, IP given final warning. Thank you. Sergecross73 msg me 00:14, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your welcome. And thanks for that. I will report to you if I find anything else suspicious. Zacharyalejandro (talk) 00:20, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sergecross73: Ferret was unclear about the subject, the reviews mentioned were comments from viewers i am not sure whether those would count as good sources of reviews for a film to be levied. If you too think so do look into article, then changing it to mixed or removing film received ? reviews sentence would be apt, I guess. Look into it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.99.37.40 (talk) 17:09, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Starmaker1234

You blocked this user recently - thank $deity :) - the same person has User:Cheeselandabc, and very likely User:Starstarstar123 & User:Johntraviola (plus a bunch of IPs)

(talk page stalker) Ugh, what a mess. I'll gather some diffs and file an SPI later today if I can sometime this afternoon. If you can tell me what those "bunch of IPs" are (on my talkpage if you want) that would be helpful as well. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 23:50, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As promised, this is now at SPI. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Starmaker1234 Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 14:07, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for helping with this. I looked at this when I had poor reception the other day and couldn't respond, and then completely forgot about it. Appreciated. Sergecross73 msg me 14:39, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AtlusZachary

Hi. You blocked AtlusZachary (talk · contribs) in January. It looks like Zachary new 13 (talk · contribs) is an obvious sock, as is 2A02:C7D:564B:D300:F0AF:3E31:A9EB:E342 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). The logged in account explicitly says so on its user page, and it's more-or-less restoring disruptive edits made by the IP editor. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:35, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much NinjaRobotPirate, yes, there has been like a year spanning effort to remove his bad edits to Wikipedia. He continues to make bad edits to video game articles, as he seems to flat out not understand the roles of developers and publishers in video games, and seems incapable to be taught or communicated with about it. Please let me know if/when you ever come across his edits. We all revert them on spot, as he's essentially blocked into oblivion with the level of times he's block evaded. Sergecross73 msg me 16:41, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think we're going on two, almost three, years at this point. -- ferret (talk) 16:43, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Huh. First time I've seen him. I'll keep an eye out for him. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:46, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I don't particularly remember when, other than I recall stumbling upon his work sometime in early 2015. He kept on making these weird edits, claiming that Nintendo developed Disney Infinity or Sonic Colors since they were on Nintendo platforms, or that Capcom developed Smash 4 because Megaman was a playable character. Bizarre lines of reasoning. Well assumably. He's never really every addressed these sorts of concerns, he mostly ignores us, and occasionally has outbursts where he tells me he hates me, or that he's going to block me somehow.

Connected registered user and their IP address

Hey, I have a question about a not necessarily hot topic, but one that may be acceptable to address. Bens dream, who is a sparsely active editor, often gets into disputes, then resolves to log off and edit from the IP address 81.108.161.238. Since it's an IP address utilized for edit-warring, should we perhaps tag it up, for any future disputes? Again, very low priority, as the user makes good faith edits, but it may be prudent. If so, then it would be necessary to restore all the notices that were reverted by Ben on that IP page, per Wikipedia:User pages. DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 03:33, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I looked it over some. If you notice it happen again, let me know, and I can give a lecture on WP:VALIDALT etc to him. I'm going to wait though for now, just because of a general lack of activity. (He hasn't edited at all this year, and had like single digit edits in 2015... Sergecross73 msg me 18:18, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Characters of Chrono Cross

Do you mind if I nominate this for good article status? Seems all set. Great job! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:58, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't we give it one more week. There's some entries in the middle of the list that can use some sourcing. Later in the week I should have some time. I got burned out for a bit and got wrapped up in a music-related project, but now I'm burned out on that and moving back into this. Sergecross73 msg me 00:55, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disney Magical World 2

Could you add the Disney Magical World 2's North American box art to the article that was recently revealed? Thanks! Zacharyalejandro (talk) 04:20, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I actually don't really work with images at all, other than occassional discussions on the appropriateness of image choices. The article is tagged for needing boxart, and it looks like somebody may have tried to do it but done the formatting wrong, so hopefully it'll be implemented/fixed soon enough. (Maybe even a {{tps]] of mine will look at it.) Sergecross73 msg me 18:18, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
