POV anachronistic flag pushers

New users, and one I have mentioned before, have added Andranik Ozanian and the Armenian flag to articles in which Ozanian is not mentioned and during times when the Armenian flag doesn't exist.

Drvi6678 (talk · contribs), only one edit, made to battle of Sarikamish, added Armenian flag to infobox[1]

Cleopatra E.I.O (talk · contribs), only one edit, mirrors user:Drvi6678's(sockpuppet?} edit on battle of Sarikamish[2]

FedayiChristian (talk · contribs) edited 7 March 2024 after being silent since 13 October 2023. Both instances they added the Armenian flag(which doesn't exist until 1918).

173.196.206.154 (talk · contribs)/173.196.152.107 (talk · contribs), are blocked by Favonian, edited Battle of Bulair(1913) adding Andranik Ozanian and the Armenian flag, user:FedayiChristian made the same edit on 13 October 2023. Is this FedayiChristian editing while logged out?

88.244.92.204 (talk · contribs) added Andranik Ozanian[4], possibly user:Lutz.cy editing while logged out?

With the battle of Sarikamish, page protection would be prudent, but with an editor like FedayiChristian waiting 5 months to make another inaccurate POV addition to an article, page protection is meaningless. FedayiChristian is of that same group you pinged over my previous concern.

The IPs which have targeted battle of Bulair have been addressed by Favonian by blocks. Since FedayiChristian chose not to respond to your talk page message back in October 2023, perhaps a indef block is warranted? --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked FedayiChristian and left messages for the others. There might be socking going on but it appears simpler to take action based on behavior. EdJohnston (talk) 18:24, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thanks Ed.--Kansas Bear (talk) 22:25, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have now blocked User:Lutz.cy for long term nationalist edit warring, after they resumed their contributions on 18 March without ever responding to the complaint. Their edits are (as before) being constantly undone by others. EdJohnston (talk) 02:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP return

Hi, just to let you know 82.22.44.102 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is back to the same type of edits after the expiry of your block from this discussion at ANI. FozzieHey (talk) 21:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is now reblocked for another three months. Thanks for your note. EdJohnston (talk) 02:01, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should I notify?

Hey Ed. Thanks for blocking the sock of BWNH. I noticed you hadn't notified the sock that they had been blocked. Do you want me to leave them a talk page message on your behalf, or do you want me to leave it alone? Thanks again. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please go ahead and leave them a notice. We are talking about this SPI. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then, thanks. I'll leave a block notice. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 01:47, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:HD86

HD86 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Sorry to bother you with this Ed. But user:HD86 has been engaging in disruptive editing along with a fair dose of personal attacks. Their only edits since 21 March 2024 have been to Aleppo, Aleppo talk page, and my talk page(after I posted a 3rr on their talk page). I also posted on their talk page that it appeared they had taken the information from the Ali Janbulad article, though I am not absolutely sure of that.

HD86 added a sentence with no source.[5] Aintabli removed it citing no source.[6] HD86 then launches into a personal attack-ridden edit summary, stating it is Aintabli's responsibility to find sources for HD86's edit.You are so lazy and dumb that you didn't even bother to check the Wikipedia page on the subject. You are supposed to remove unreferenced info only if you think they are incorrect. IIdiots like yourself are the reason why I stopped, Undid revision 1214909312 by Aintabli (talk) Reverting vandalism. I believe it is clear that this person doesn't seriously think the info is false, unless he can't access the Wikipedia page

After a few more reverts I post a 3rr on HD86's talk page[7] and then I am told on my talk page, "And by the way, I certainly added much more info and citations to that article than you did, so it would have been better if you copied the references yourself at least to show that you are a positive contributer. That would have been a better use of your time."[8] Thus, now is it my responsibility to reference HD86's addition to the Aleppo article.

Wikaviani removed the unsourced addition of HD86.[9] HD86 reverts then states not once, but twice, "There is a link to another Wikipedia page. Please make a better use of your time by adding references and new info to the article instead of deleting what other people contribute.", Please be helpful and add a reference yourself. You may look at the relevant Wikipedia page. Now it is Wikaviani's responsiblity to cite HD86's addition to the Aleppo article.

HD86 then posts on the Aleppo article talk page that 3 editors have removed their unsourced addition. "So far three different users have attempted to remove the paragraph about Ali janbulad under the claim that it is "unreferenced". Which is false, only two editors have reverted Hd86; Aintabli and Wikaviani. Then they call Wikaviani a disruptive editor.What makes you a disruptive editor is your intent.

I would say HD86 is disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. They've refused time and again to add a source to their unsourced addition. They have wasted 5 edits on the Aleppo talk page, 4 reverts on the Aleppo article, and 3 edits on my talk page, instead of addressing the issue of adding an unsourced sentence to the Aleppo article. Clearly an issue of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. It was their inability to hear what another editor says that got them banned from my talk page.

Honestly, I don't think HD86 is here to build a community encyclopedia. --Kansas Bear (talk) 17:30, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore this concern Ed. Aintabli filed a report at WP:ANI. --Kansas Bear (talk) 19:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
