Yonkers Police Department Page (Again)

Hey sorry to bother again but I am having a bit of a issue. I am attempting to post the Yonkers Police page again which I revamped but it is not letting me stating "Your edit was not saved because it contains a new external link to a site registered on Misplaced Pages's blacklist or Wikimedia's global blacklist." Is there anyway you can help me out with posting the page again? Thank you for your time.

Sehr geehrter Drimes. Mein Englischkentnisse ist mangelhaft. Deshalb habe ich bei Ayşegül Yüksel möglicherweise ein Fehler gemacht. Vor Jahren hatten Sie mir mit der englischen Atilla Engin-Seite geholfen. Jetzt brauche ich wieder Ihre Hilfe. Können Sie mir für die Ayşegül Yüksel Seite helfen? https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Ay%C5%9Feg%C3%BCl_Y%C3%BCksel Vielen Dank --Gemalmaz 22:35, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

• Gemalmaz--kein Problem. But the problem for this article will be properly sourcing the biography section. That's always difficult for writers/academics, and especially for someone for whom there might not be a lot of English sourcing available (and my Turkish ... well let's not talk about that). Look at the edits I made. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Vandalism on Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

Hi Drmies! I hope you're having a great day and that life is treating you kindly, my friend! :-) I just wanted to shoot you an FYI to let you know that I went and extended the block that you applied to 86.185.199.66. I extended it from 31 hours to match the same one-month block that you applied to 89.211.181.104. Aside from the abuse that was observed, and the obvious fact that this is the same user who's IP hopping and adding the same vandalism back to the article - I ran a WHOIS on both IP addresses, and they originate to completely different countries and ISPs. I find it very highly likely that these IP addresses are both open proxies or VPNs. Hence, the reason I extended the block. Knowing you as well as I do, I highly doubt that you'll have any objection to what I did, but if you do object to the block extension that I placed, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can discuss it and make sure that the appropriate resulting actions are taken. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 02:18, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

• Oshwah--interesting, thanks. Now look at this. I don't know who the best person is to ask for advice: someone with institutional memory and some expertise on that proxy stuff. Zzuuzz is always my go-to expert... Drmies (talk) 14:35, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Yes, VPNs. Given the proxies, likely location, irrelevance and narcissism, you'd think this was Blue Barette Bam. -- zzuuzz 15:28, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
    • Thank you zzuuzz. Yes, now I remember that target of theirs. This editor is a waste of electrons. Zzuuzz, please adjust blocks as you see fit? Is this a case where someone can drop a ton of VPN/proxy blocks, even if they won't do all that much? I think it's still $1 for one of those blocks, right? Drmies (talk) 15:35, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
    • Zzuuzz - That's exactly what I figured - VPNs. I'm available and happy to help should my assistance be needed; just let me know. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~ 19:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Imjimmer

Just saw that you blocked Imjimmer (talk · contribs) for 72 hours. I fear that they are worse than just extremely rude: They inserted File:Portuguese India 16-17th centuries.png, a map by Hugo Refachinho in this edit, and File:Persian Gulf z1507-1750.gif in this edit. The latter one has been created by a sock of Hugo R., see meta:Special:CentralAuth/Ruyandrada. They also created two maps that have the same idea that H's maps have: Showing the greatness of the Portuguese empire. For the abuse history of Hugo R., see WP:Sockpuppet_investigations/Hugo_Refachinho. All the best for you and your work, Rsk6400 (talk) 18:18, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Spammer

See Special:Contributions/Helengalmonte. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 23:04, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) blocked. Galobtter (pingó mió) 23:21, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Oh that was pathetic! Sorry BilCat, I was outside, working. Galobtter, thank you very much. Drmies (talk) 01:22, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

No worries, they're blocked, and that's what counts. BilCat (talk) 03:26, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

HaughtonBrit

Hey Drmies can you take a look at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/HaughtonBrit? I think only you and Callanecc (not so active) got the logs of this case. Aman Kumar Goel 03:01, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

New editor with "bot" edit summaries

Hey, I noticed a new editor who is making edit summaries that give the misleading impression that the edit is being made by a community approved bot instead of a new editor. I see that in their tp there is a template with a complaint about one of their edits. Isn't making such misleading edit summaries an issue? I have not checked their edits to see if they are all good or not. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:30, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks--fun thing, I saw that name and for some reason noticed it. They need to stop that. Drmies (talk) 20:33, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
  • They could have helped themselves a bit by adding BOT to their username to somehow reduce the possibility of detection, like JasonBOT :P Thanks Drmies for the quick response, they could create a mess with such edits. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:46, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

June songs

Thank you for having stopped it. I reverted their edit to one of my articles - the edit summary alone had not alerted me, but seeing what they were doing. Will the other edits also be reverted? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:58, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

... and roses for yours in the edit notice, with an excellent message - I read my own from time to time, DYK? - Two bios under the recent deaths, sad. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:03, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

silly bot

This is a troll bot, take a look at this. They're not fixing any redirects - they're just pointlessly piping them. And now they're mass welcoming vandals/random users via what appears to be a bot. Please just block them entirely. PRAXIDICAE🌈 20:37, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard

On 15 June 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard is the only U.S. cemetery reserved exclusively for coon dog burials? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Privacy concern

I have a privacy concern about the use of an email-address here. I don't think that is useful as a source, nor is it a good idea. But as I have dumped IRC, I have no idea how to get it hidden. The Banner talk 08:50, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

• Got it--thanks Banner. Drmies (talk) 15:52, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

A beer for you!

cheers! Thanks! Lectorlatinoamericano (talk) 16:49, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
