Hi P, any chance you could look into any Paavada socks? I don't know anything about this guy, but Anon mentioned on my talk page that Mahamagadh might be a suspect. They both seem oddly interested in biotech companies (Mahamagadh created an article about one and Paavada edited some like Genome Valley and HITEC City.[1] And they both edited Mikhael (film). Actually, now that I look at Paavada, it has the mercaptan stench of Padmalakshmisx. Did I win anything? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:45, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Winner winner chicken dinner! Paavada was blocked as  Confirmed to Uricnobel and Contrib2, both of whom you blocked as suspected Padma socks. I didn't bother checking further to link Paavada to a master as the confirmation of socking in general was enough to block indef.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:30, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note

With regard to your blocking for two weeks of Ylevental on the 19th, you have actually done the autistic community a tremendous service - except for one thing. The block should have been indefinite. The user has a long history of disruptive conduct making a point of promoting the autistic spectrum as a negative. I know that a massive dossier is being prepared with a full expose of his conduct. The only delay is that it's so big. There are over 2000 edits to go through. He sent many notable autism advocates to AfD, while supporting through a confirmed COI one negative nelly in Jonathan Mitchell. He has also created articles on other negative people like Matthew Belmonte and Thomas A. McKean, and negative groups like the National Council on Severe Autism which I reverted an edit on just recently. If you want more information it will be produced by another person but I don't know when. 125.168.146.251 (talk) 05:59, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Abbycarroll

Hi Ponyo. I saw your post at User talk:Abbycarroll about COI. I previously posted something similar here as well, but it was removed. She's denied any such connection in a couple of other posts since then, so I'm not sure what more can be done about that. Even if there's a COI, they probably can still work on the draft as long as they submit it to AfC for review. I have no real opinion on the draft itself, other than I think it might be a case of TOOSOON and that there might be still some BLP concerns (you need to check their user talk page history/contributions for details on that since they've blanked the page a couple of times). I think this is a new editor trying to find their way and perhaps being a bit surprised and frustrated that Wikipedia doesn't exactly work how they thought it worked; there's been a bit of lashing out, but maybe that will stop once they cool down. Now that she's been warned by you and another administrator, maybe things will settle down a bit. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abbycarroll can't both be photographing the subject who is posing for them at a hotel and have no connection to the subject. Regardless, the sole purpose in creating the account has been to 1) promote a non-notable individual and 2) add BLP violations to a related article, repeatedly. To me, Abby is being obviously dishonest regarding their connection to the subject, but the more pressing concern is the Mel B article edits. I admire your patience and willingness to work with Abbycarroll (seriously, you're a star!), but I respectfully disagree that they will be able to edit neutrally regarding Dujuan Thomas. And it's extremely important that they stay away from the Mel B article altogether and stop including the BLP violations anywhere on Wikipedia.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:05, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really disagreeing with you here. I'm just saying what they posted elsewhere; at the same time, I'm aware of WP:PACT and feel now that they've been warned that the onus on is on them to modify their behavior. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:27, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agree completely.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:39, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
PS Why aren't you an admin yet?-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
YGM! -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:43, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Today has been MADNESS at work. I will definitely take a look over the weekend. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:22, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Her last series of edits on the draft she's editing are telling. First source is an archived press release from his high school (with a false title) to reference his attendance (for which it is likely satisfactorily, but shows a likely error elsewhere in the article. Is he actually in the NG, or is she just claiming that based on his participation in NROTC?) The second source doesn't mention him at all and of course does not verify her claim. I'm sorry, but between her obvious lies about the image and her cluelessness about references, it appears we either have an infatuated child, or a complete lack of CIR. Frankly, I am at the point that if she resubmits the draft without some solid media sources (and at least one from outside Paducah) the draft needs to be 86'd and so does she. John from Idegon (talk) 23:08, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The file has been tagged with {{OTRS pending}} which means it's copyright ownership, etc. will be sorted out by OTRS. Now, whether, as part of that sorting out, any possible COI is also clarified is something only OTRS will only be able to say. I believe that administrators can see OTRS emails; so, perhaps Ponyo can check to see if the OTRS email clarifies the source of the image and any connection between the uploader and Thomas. As for the other concerns, I think those are valid and will not necessarily be resolved by OTRS verification of the image. They may need to be addressed separately from the image. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:31, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just to update, the file's licensing has been verified by OTRS; so, that should at least resolve that particular issue. The other issues about a possible COI, the Wikpedia notabality of Thhoms and the content/sourcing about the alleged Mel B incident, however, still may require some further discussion. Since Ponyo is an admin, he can probably see the OTRS email to check whether COI is an issue. The Mel B stuff might require Abbycarroll going to WP:BLPN and WP:RSN to seek other opinions if she still feels content about it should somehow be included in that article, particularly since the article talk page discussion seems to be in disagreement about adding it at the moment. As for Thomas Wikipedia notabiliy, it still seems like it might be WP:TOOSOON for a stand-alone article to be written about him by anyone, but at the very least WP:GNG for things other then the alleged Mel B incident is going to need to be met. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:54, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another mess on my talk page

Hello Ponyo. Hope everything's good on your end. Can you please Semi-Protect my talk page for another 3 months? My talk page has recently experienced another spate of vandalism, and one LTA in particular has taken a liking to long-term trolling. I'm getting sick of seeing their nonsense over and over again. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 23:27, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ponyo's not around (generally true on weekends). I semi'd your Talk page for three months.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:01, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BBC IP - yet again!

Hello Ponyo, I wonder if you can help? Some months back I asked User:Ronhjones to look into the activities of a IP, based in the West Country of the UK - who was making a host of unsourced/unreferenced edits on BBC pages. Ron eventually blocked then for a year. Unfortunately, the IP has re-surfaced as 86.151.58.139 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) making exactly the same type of edits as before and refusing to use their Talk page. Ron, unfortunately, has not edited since April 2019, so could you help? Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 10:54, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I recognize this guy. New IP blocked.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 17:23, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for your help. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 18:03, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Regret to say, they have now re-surfaced as 86.189.157.35 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) with exactly the same style of edits. David J Johnson (talk) 19:47, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked as well. Interestingly, that IP was previously used by another LTA.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:02, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My thanks again, just hope they don't re-appear with another IP or User name. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 20:03, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If they keep hopping around, let me know and I'll just semi protect the articles.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:10, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Will do. They seem to not want to abide by Wikipedia conventions. David J Johnson (talk) 20:13, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just re-appeared, yet again, as 86.164.218.122 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). If they carry on, then all the BBC News pages, plus Channel 4 and various race articles will have to be protected? Thanks for your help. David J Johnson (talk) 11:35, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They've probably moved on for now, and the edits have been reverted. Given their persistence it may be necessary to protect the articles soon.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 14:55, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They've used that range before; as they're the only one on it I've blocked it for a year.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 16:17, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks and regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 16:46, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent edit warring

Hello,

I wanted to bring to your attention an editor who has been persistently edit warring on Somalia today. They have received numerous warnings today [2] [3] about edit warring. You yourself have warned the editor about going beyond 3RR and to cease reverting [4], yet the editor continues to revert the page [5] without reaching consensus on the talk page. I was wondering if you could look into this? Koodbuur (talk) 22:36, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wadaad ignored my final warning (even though they were already past three reverts) and reverted again. I've blocked them for 48 hours.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:39, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your prompt response. Koodbuur (talk) 22:55, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article Deletion - Banita Sandhu

Hi, you deleted this page that I was working on - I've now read the deletion log history and can see why the page would be picked up for review. I thought that this actress would meet notability criteria, and I don't think the draft was biased, but I'm not planning to contest the decision. Is it possible for me to get what I had drafted so that in future, if she achieves a higher level of notability, I can add to what I'd started on? Thanks for your vigilance! BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:31, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article did not contain any more material that demonstrated the subject meets WP:NACTOR than when it was deleted per consensus in 2018. I have never seen a deletion log like this, all over an individual who's sum contribution to the world of entertainment has been 2 ads and one film appearance. Keep an eye on your email and I will send you a copy of the deleted text.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:41, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Received the details. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:47, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ice hockey/hockey roaming IP

The banned IP appears to be roaming and also going after High school boys ice hockey in Minnesota. Editor IPs seem to be in the same range. Yosemiter (talk) 02:48, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Yosemiter; I've blocked the /64 range.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 15:40, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Leno

Hi there, what is wrong with mentioning that Leno was portrayed in a film. Hundreds of decent articles have such facts in. Thanks :-) Cls14 (talk) 22:38, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied on the article talk page, where the discussion is taking place. As noted there, please ensure you get consensus to restore the content as its inclusion is disputed.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can manage to be civil, more than the other guy in the discussion can manage. Who decides if something is disputed though. One person? Genuine question this, promise! Cls14 (talk) 22:49, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No one has to decide if an edit is disputed, the revert of your edit means the content is disputed. Again, please read WP:BRD. You were Bold, your edit was Reverted, now you need to Discuss in order to obtain consensus. Cassianto's first revert was not starting an edit war, it's a standard part of the editorial process. Regarding your claim of civility your hands are not clean in that regard. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:58, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point. There is a reason you are admin it appears, you know your stuff :-) Anyway I've left that page well alone. I'll say it now it's out in the open, editors like him are driving people away from Wikipedia (there was an essay on Wikipedia not long ago about declining editor numbers). He appears arrogant, bullish, unsympathetic and the history of the page is littered with him acting like he alone can edit it. For the record I'd hardly say making an edit was being bold but I'm not going to argue. Thanks for being a reasonable figure between two other editors. Respect.

Thank you!

Thank you for applying protection to Hemphill, Texas, I was just about to request protection! — Preceding unsigned comment added by OXYLYPSE (talk • contribs) 23:06, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While there may be a discussion to be had regarding how much of the case to include, repeatedly blanking the well-sourced content wholesale is outright based on what amounts to "I don't like it" is disruptive. Hopefully the protection will push the IP/new editor to the talk page to discuss their concerns. I made a point of noting that legal threats won't be tolerated as they appear to be heading in that direction.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Asking a favor

Hello Ponyo. I hope you are well. Next week I will be seeing La bohème at the Santa Fe Opera and yes I am very excited. Any time I go there I remember (and miss) User:Viva-Verdi. The first userbox on his page is about the first opera he ever saw. I would like to add it (with my first) to my user page but, as his page is protected, I can't do a copy paste. I am not sure whether it is a full userbox template or just the raw markup that needs formatting into a template. In either case when you have a moment would you please copy it to the workspace section of User:MarnetteD/Sandbox2/formatting. I hope you have a marvelous weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 18:04, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Always lovely to hear from you, especially on happy occasions such as this! I've provided you with the template code on the page you linked. Cheers, -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:08, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you P. Much appreciated! MarnetteD|Talk 18:10, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
