Sock user adding unsourced info

Back in February IP user 139.182.208.223 received a two month block for continuously adding unsourced info to Carlos Correa. Not only was it unsourced, but they kept adding it directly before an existing citation that did not support the statement. Now, just over two months later, new user User:MinnesotaMethods has begun making the exact same change. After two warnings, another new account, User: KyleCrick, created just minutes ago, is attempting to back up the change. Seems like a WP:DUCK to me. Could you take a look when you get a moment? Thanks! NJZombie (talk) 18:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Could be WP:MEAT; I don't have checkuser, so I can't say for sure without filing an WP:SPI. In any case, all of the accounts have been given final warnings. OhNoitsJamie 18:22, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

I noticed this after reviewing the history at Carlos Correa following my question to a new user. For some background, see Talk:Shannon Sharpe#Middle name. I see that Gigablick was indeffed—if I had noticed that earlier I would have indeffed my user rather than leave them a question. I will indef them in 24 hours or so but I thought I would post here to let you and NJZombie know that there are a couple of hoaxes being promoted. Johnuniq (talk) 07:50, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Looking at the Carlos Correa edits, it seems possible that it’s the same user. To be fair, the issue was never that the original editor was claiming that Correa resided in Minnesota. It was the fact that they kept adding information about it directly in front of a source that didn’t support it and wouldn’t take the time to learn how to do otherwise. Doing a quick Google search now shows that Correa has, in fact, made a recent home purchase in Minnesota since it looks like he is staying with the Twins. So I don’t look at those edits about him being from Minnesota as a “hoax” necessarily. However, if it is a sock user, that needs to be addressed of course. NJZombie (talk) 10:53, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

That being said, they're now using User:Wallace Mountain and User:Swatt Sonar, in addition to User:Quanto Quick to make the same edits. Obvious sock activity. NJZombie (talk) 01:30, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I indeffed the three ducks (Swatt Sonar + Wallace Mountain + Quanto Quick) and semi-protected Carlos Correa for a month. Johnuniq (talk) 02:22, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Fake image of kudmi topic

You provide fake image of kudmi community. Why you did it? 2409:40E1:100B:6A34:85FF:2BCB:BEF7:A6FA (talk) 17:34, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Why did u revert my edit

Hi Jamie, why did U revert my edit on Cyberpunk 2077? I have several pieces of evidence stating why u shouldn't have reverted by edit.

1) The subtitles of the game clearly state the characters by their first names NOT their last names

2) in the accompanying article for Cyberpunk Edgerunners, most of the characters are referred to by their first name, not their last.

3) The game is clearly based off of fictional events, and no real people are involved in the game.

4) The surname is standard rule is completely bananas. Many[REDACTED] articles about video games clearly refer to the characters by their first name, like the ones for GTA V. HiGuys69420 (talk) 23:35, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

WP:MOS conventions are not dictated by game subtitles. You're welcome to take it to Talk:Cyberpunk 2077 and see if there is a consensus to use a different convention, but in the absence of that we default to standard conventions. OhNoitsJamie 00:01, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

2023 Israeli judicial reform

Hi Jamie, thanks for reverting the IP editor's additions to 2023 Israeli judicial reform. I think that you also accidentally reverted a cleanup of sources by @CastJared. Misha Wolf (talk) 00:01, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

reverts on list of fw aquarium fish

you reverted an edit by @Alex Colt47 and apon further search you have reverted other of his seemingly normal/ sourced edits, what is up with that? The edits seem good, have a source and arent conteraversial, is there something im missing? Realfakebezalbob (talk) 19:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

That account was indef blocked as a spam-only account. "fishyfishpet.com" does not remotely meet WP:RS guidelines. OhNoitsJamie 19:25, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hi, Onij, can you tell whether the latest account, who's also fond of promotional editing, is the same as the account you blocked in February ? Thanks, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:21, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I don't have WP:CHECKUSER access, so an WP:SPI would have to be filed unless it's a very obvious sock, which doesn't seem to be the case here. OhNoitsJamie 14:33, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Vans

Hi, you blocked an IP range from editing Van a little while ago (likely a Zerolandteam385 sockpuppet, not certain). They have moved on to add the same type of content to List of vans instead, while they are waiting for the other block to expire. Should I file a report somewhere or will notifying you suffice? Thanks,  Mr.choppers | ✎  19:40, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Added to block; we have 10 slots for partial blocks, so there are three remaining before I'd have to resort to a full block. Thanks! OhNoitsJamie 14:32, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm sure they'll fill them all soon... Thanks.  Mr.choppers | ✎  14:39, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, this editor is now targeting Hino 600 with the usual MO of adding long lists of WP:OR competitors, uncited and so on. Grateful for your attention.  Mr.choppers | ✎  17:53, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Added some more pblock targets and added a full block to a 64 range (the IP is dynamic across the /41 range, but at least for the last week has been within a smaller 64 range). OhNoitsJamie 18:01, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Appreciated, thank you.  Mr.choppers | ✎  18:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Spellchecking

Hi, i have noticed naming of some articles are not correct, for example: Colonel Amirouche, his real name is Amirouche Aït Hamouda, Check Mokrani, Sheikh Amokrane, Boulifa, Si Amar U Saïd Boulifa , indeed correction is minor but relevant, nice to meet you. Masaialva (talk) 21:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Names from other languages/cultures frequently have multiple acceptable variants/spellings in English. It's disruptive for editors quibble over the spelling variant. If a variant is patently incorrect and you have reliable sources to support that, it should be brought up on that article's talk page. Piping the name to an alternate spelling on other articles is not appropriate in most cases. OhNoitsJamie 22:00, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm agree with you, it's going to be very long, do we use berber latin alphabet for? In the other case, it's better to keep some alternative names which are appropriate. Masaialva (talk) 22:14, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Whatever language is primarily associated with the subject, that script/language can be used for showing their name in other languages; in some cases, more than one may be used. Regardless, it's not helpful to quibble over English transliterations. From Misplaced Pages:Manual_of_Style#Spelling_and_romanization: Spell a name consistently in the title and the text of an article. (Relevant policy: Misplaced Pages:Article titles; see also Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (use English).) For a foreign name, phrase, or word, adopt the spelling most commonly used in English-language reliable sources, including but not limited to those already cited in the article.

Hi Onij, perhaps renewed page protection. And is the IP range responsible too vast to be blocked? 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:22, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Dheeraj Sharma (professor)

Some of the matters that you have added to the site are subjudice. I see that you have protected the page and added what you think is right. It is against law in India to aid and abet media trials. The material should be deleted. 117.236.106.195 (talk) 06:53, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

There are multiple sources that easily meet WP:RS that support that material. OhNoitsJamie 13:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

The Great Gama

Hello there Ohnoitsjamie this article The Great Gama was protected by you some time ago due to disruptive edits on the mans nationality it seems some editors may start engaging in this point of view pushing again this user made a very strange edit I tried to restore back to the long standing original just wanted to know if you think it needs to be protected again thanks in advance. 2A02:C7C:6782:7A00:F11A:E166:5465:8297 (talk) 11:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk page protection

Would you be able to place temporary protection on my talk page? There's a user that's been IP hopping in order to add unsourced box office analysis to the Clerks III article for the last day or so now. Myself and two other editors have indicated that it's an incorrect addition. After several false vandalism accusations made against me, user resorted to posting their arguments and accusations on my talk page today. After, refuting them and stating that I wasn't interested in having this discussion on my talk page anymore, the editor, using yet another IP address, reverted my deletion. Once that was deleted, they added even more. So now it's just harassment. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. NJZombie (talk) 19:49, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I’m not affiliated with the other apparently banned user he keeps WP:HOUNDING. Either he’s confused or trying to stir the pot with his row against me. Blaming us for his feud with him is not his right.

For the record, I’m an employee of the Lyric theater in Colorado and some members of our cinema-lovers club do occasional editing from our public computers. I’m sure there is the occasional troll from here given these are public computers. However this zealous user taunted me into coming to his profile page to debate them only for him to change his mind without warning and revert my counter-argument out of spite. That’s his right. Then the other aforementioned allegedly-banned user that he was also taunting jumped in to apparently fan the flames.

I have no desire to debate this editor anymore on his profile page, nor become entangled in his drama. I told him to resume his debate with me on the article’s forum page if he must.

tl;dr version— I’m only responding because of his false accusations of vandalism and sockpupperty. Told him to file an SPI rather than drag his drama to all these other places. 2601:282:8100:32A0:95E1:D373:5241:8C19 (talk) 20:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Yet you AND that unaffiliated IP editor are both blocked from editing Talk:2000 Mules. Heh... what a small world. SPI filed. Thanks! NJZombie (talk) 20:29, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Nationality dispute Gama

Dear Ohnoitsjamie it seems like editors who want to claim Great Gama as a Indian are back the neutral and stable version has been removed and they keep adding "Indian" wrestler when the consensus for over a year has been to use neutral terms since he took up Pakistani residence after 1947. Is there anyway of protecting the article? MahisoeoEk (talk) 07:43, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Sources which do not back Indian nationality claims

This source also states British India and later Pakistani as nationality Another source which states "Indian and then Pakistani after partition" So sources are disputing this argument he was just a Indian wrestler most define him as a wrestler during the British Raj era which seems neutral I am not sure why Indian editors seem to insist he was always Indian. MahisoeoEk (talk) 08:18, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Discuss on the article's talk page, not here please. OhNoitsJamie 14:51, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Explaining my edits

Hi Ohnoitsjamie sorry to pester you again it seems my edit summary's may not have been as clear every edit I made here ,,, and here along with the others I may have missed is in response to a sock (this account edits kashmir based articles and culture) and (this sock edits all the massacre pages) they are both accounts of the banned same user hence I was attempting to restore the original neutral versions based on Ban revert policy plus the edits are so clearly biased I am surprised nobody has reversed them yet. I sometimes missed adding that to the edit summary which seems to be causing the confusion as other edits where I mentioned it were not removed. However please note this edit has restored some seriously pov material referring it to as "occupied" is not a neutral term. I understand admins are busy and do not have the time to deal with every troll or sock on Misplaced Pages. Please let me know you have acknowledged this and sorry for the confusion. MahisoeoEk (talk) 16:36, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages doesn't need editors who are only here to argue about disputed territories and historic ethnic labels. I understand that some of your edits were reverting block sockpuppets; that's fine, but I'd suggest that you find another purpose here beyond the aforementioned quibbling. OhNoitsJamie 16:52, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

I actually have edited other topics but by the nature of the topics I have an interest in i.e food culture I tend to see these types of editors and come across their edits so I feel compelled to restore and remove the vandalism South Asian topics unfortunately are highly toxic and I try to remain neutral but it can be tough. Thanks for responding. MahisoeoEk (talk) 17:03, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

This edit may be food-related but it's still (1) unsourced and (2) pointless. If you continue to make such edits I will be compelled to block you. OhNoitsJamie 17:13, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

It seems like you did not pay attention again Jamie I did source it to the Punjab origin. The term South Asia encompasses the entire Punjab reason so South Asia or Indian subcontinent rather than a specific country is more than reasonable. Please look a bit more carefully before jumping to conclusions. MahisoeoEk (talk) 17:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

This is the one the Punjab region is split in both states hence the South Asian label. MahisoeoEk (talk) 17:34, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Brighton

can I just ask why you’ve banned me and also why your so against the official naming of Brighton and Hove. 78.86.32.99 (talk) 13:51, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

I've already told you. You're edit-warring from sock multiple IPs against consensus. I suggest you move on. OhNoitsJamie 14:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Disruptive IP ranges

Could this range be fully blocked rather than the current partial block on articles? This range (and others that are clearly related) have been disruptive on a number of articles, including SpongeBob SquarePants related articles, such as SpongeBob SquarePants (season 13). On that article, there has already been:

• 2600:1005:B000:0:0:0:0:0/38
• 2600:1005:B080:0:0:0:0:0/44
• 2600:1005:B000:0:0:0:0:0/41

Thanks to them, that specific article has been protected until (at least) October, but now they are doing disruptive edits on the talk page (). Also worth noting that of the 3 ranges listed above, the /44 range is currently fully blocked for 6 months, while the /38 and /41 ranges are both only partially blocked. They are continuing their disruptive edits/vandalism across many other articles, including disruptive edit summaries such as this. At this point, it seems like a full block for those two ranges (as well as any future ones) would be most beneficial. I hope you can help- thanks in advance.

P.S. I am requesting this to you, as I had previously submitted a report regarding this issue at WP:AIV, but it was rejected. Magitroopa (talk) 21:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

I've expanded the blocks for now though I shortened the duration of the 38 range as it had some (a minority) of reasonable edits. OhNoitsJamie 16:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

This account (Robepang) is most likely a sockpuppet of this account (Poberang).

Killing of Jordan Neely Edit

Hi the source you used as an example doesn't mention the person who lead to Jordan Neely's death as a Marine? Presumably it was retracted.

Could you provide another source. I just don't know if it's appropriate to include in the lead till the identity is confirmed. LoomCreek (talk) 17:14, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Please take the discussion to the article's talk page. I did not add the identify of the Marine. OhNoitsJamie 17:15, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Killing of Jordan Neely

Wanted to get your opinion. Does this need to go to an RFC? I'm not sure waiting around a few days is going to attract a lot more support one way or the other. What do you think? Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 14:11, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

I see User:WWGB removed the disputed content from the article. Not sure there was a consensus, but we'll see if it's reverted. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:16, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
