User:DIYeditor/Sashko1999

Sashko1999 (will change to "user links" template for ANI)

Summary

Argean

Argean: I noticed that this user's strange behavior, changing all the links for demonyms in the infoboxes of various countries, started after being confronted at Talk:Republic of Macedonia, where he repeatedly posted new comments with their opinion on how the change of the name of the country should reflect on the change of demonyms. When the discussion there didn't show an obvious consensus on the matter, and the need for consensus was noted by other editors, the user tried to manipulate the discussion by opening new sections to continue supporting their own claims, or by deleting comments by other users, clearly showing signs of WP:PUSH. The user eventually got involved in the aforementioned massive editing, showing signs of WP:POINT behavior to prove that their claims on the specific change are consistent with wikipedia. When confronted that their proposed changes constituted WP:OR and required WP:RfC the user ignored repeatedly the calls or provided insufficient evidence, showing signs of unwillingness to engage in discussion and to adhere to the rules (which also was stated explicitly), stating that their proposed changes are there to make wikipedia better. The user has also made comments to other users that constitute WP:NPA, has tried to disregard others' people capacity to provide arguments, and has tried to perform WP:CANVAS to manipulate an RfC, showing a clear pattern of problematic behavior consistent with a propagandistic agenda, that should be investigated for WP:NOTHERE.

DIYeditor

DIYeditor: When I encountered this user they were changing every single demonym parameter in country article infoboxes from linking to the article of the same name as the demonym to an article on the demographics of the country. They were marking all the edits as minor as I assumed it was trolling/vandalism, but I saw that they were able to present a somewhat sensible argument about it, and I repeatedly suggested they start an RFC. However it became clear that this editor had been warned a number times about WP:MINOR and seem to be intentionally ignoring the warnings, because their English skill is adequate (although Thomas.W doubted this) and understanding of what a talk page is also seems to be adequate - except for things like utter refusal, no matter how many times warned, to WP:INDENT and stop marking edits MINOR. User seems to feel privileged to ignore whatever portion of messages he chooses and not be interactive. User appears to be a WP:NATIONALIST POV pusher and not really here to build an encyclopedia.

Sanction history

Sashko1999 has a prior history of a topic ban from Macedonia[1], 3RR and NPOV warnings, and being blocked by NeilN for edit warring[2] and violating arbitration decisions[3].

Diffs

• CIR and failure to collaborate, understanding messages, warnings and policies:
  • Completely and stubbornly ignores WP:INDENT (see the mess he is still leaving on User talk:Sashko1999, Talk:Denmark) [4][5][6][7][8] (etc.)
  • Ignores many WP:MINOR notices [9][10][11]
  • Basic CIR warning by Thomas.W [12]
  • NPOV re ethnic group by Doug Weller [13]
• WP:CANVAS [14]
• WP:CONSENSUS:
  • Refused to understand why an WP:RFC was needed [15][16] (etc.)
  • According to the editor everyone else is wrong and doesn't understand their point [17], [18]
  • Saying what's right is what matters not the rules [19], [20]
  • Warned by NeilN[21] to use talk page if user is ever reverted
  • Additional diffs of examples of not working toward consensus [22]
• WP:DISRUPT Changing massively all the links of the demonyms in the infoboxes without providing adequate rationale is disruptive behavior (see also POINT below)
• WP:NOTHERE Seems to be here to push Bulgarians vs Macedonians-related POV (example here: [23]). Also made a large number of edits in almost every language wikipedia in pages related with Bulgarians. [24]
• WP:NPA Calling people with different opinions hard nationalists [25], [26], or disregarding other editors' capacity [27]
• WP:OR Claiming that will "correct" all the "wrong" links in the infoboxes, based on his own definition of demonym that supports with inadequate resources [28], [29], [30]
• WP:POINT Too many diffs to link, see edit history for his reaction to failing to prevail at Macedonia over some kind of ethnic/nationalist/whatever issue by changing on the demonym links
• WP:PUSH Has repeatedly posted new comments at Talk:Republic of Macedonia, and manipulated the discussion by deleting other comments [31], opening new sections [32] on a matter that was already discussed [[33]], and later trying to hide his pushing behavior by deleting the titles of the new sections [34], [35]
