IOTA (Distributed Ledger Technology)

To be frank about my role, I have discussed IOTA elsewhere on the internet, but am not the persons I have been accused of being (Eric Wall, SatoNatomato), though I have followed the discussion with high interest. Besides IOTA I participate in other cryptography discussions, mostly on medium, reddit, bitcoin.com and bitcointalk.org. Nobody is paying me to write and talk, but my blog sometimes makes money from google ads. Excuse my reaction of reverting the reverts and responding to the edit war. 178.78.237.194 (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

So your connection to the topic is that you blog about IOTA? I am afraid that admins are likely to do whatever is necessary to keep intemperate comments away from the talk page, and will not be tolerant of drastic revisions to the article based on personal opinion. For example, you added this text to the article itself: Criticism and censorship attempts by the creators is widespread, as can be seen on this[REDACTED] history page. Comefrombeyond is <name of person redacted>, trying to remove this criticism page." We don't like it when people bring off-site wars onto Misplaced Pages. EdJohnston (talk) 17:28, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Do you like it when independent writers are prohibited from editing[REDACTED] articles by persons involved in said article? See the latest edit I made, was again reverted. There was no personal opinion or factual wrong information I added. As it is now, the article is factually wrong, you can read the linked primary sources yourself and the "IOTA transparency compendium"-blog which explains the Coordinator role. 178.78.237.194 (talk) 11:08, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory

Hello Ed,

I am the Director of the UC Irvine Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory and trying to update the page to correct factually inaccurate information as well as to expand it as it is currently a stub and there is a lot of content that can be added to enrich it. The page is now protected and even though I am a registered user I am unable to make changes. I would like to be able to access the page to make changes but maintain its protection such that it is not altered or corrupted by others.

Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you.

Michael Yassa Director, Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory University of California, Irvine — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike yassa (talkcontribs) 18:46, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello Mike, Per WP:COI, your best option is to make a proposal on the article talk page of what should be changed, and wait for a regular editor to implement it. If you get no response, let me know and I'll see if I can do it. Back in May, somebody copied a bunch of info directly off the Center's web site and it had to be revision-deleted due to copyright violation. Please be sure that any new (proposed) additions are expressed in your own words and don't repeat any text that is found elsewhere on the web. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 18:59, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

128.40.1.2 is doing it again

Hello, Ed.

As you have been the attending admin to the case of 128.40.1.2's edit warring in NPAPI article, I should let you know that he has once again started. He has made no positive attempt in establishing consensus so far; his only message in the talk page is a proclamation of "I am right", followed by a revert.

I, on the other hand, offered to forgo the disagreement entirely if he resumes collegial behavior, despite the fact that such behavior is mandatory here. He refused. He demands dominion over me and does not care for the consensus.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 09:11, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Semiprotected for now. The original AN3 complaint was at WP:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive345#User:Codename Lisa and User:FleetCommand reported by User:128.40.1.2 (Result: Filer warned). I wonder if you have any ideas for fixing the problems described in the 'multiple issues' template? The page has been tagged for needing better referencing for almost ten years. All the necessary sources would surely be online, so how hard can it be? This is not your problem necessarily, but with better sourcing maybe the level of edit warring would drop.

Re: Edit warring at Croatian language

I'm truly apologizing for my edit war. I just wanted to make that article better and I promise I won't do anything similar again. --Sheldonium (talk) 10:54, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Jacob Rees-Mogg

Many thanks, EdJohnson. That (requested) version of the lead is rather denuded of internal links. So feel fee to add a few? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:42, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Done. EdJohnston (talk) 20:48, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Ooh, that was quick. Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:53, 10 July 2017 (UTC) "Period Drama personna"?? ... what an outrage!

Willard84

He just came from a 4 days edit warring block started edit warring again. And after 3 reverts he self-reverted but yet to self-revert on other article. I understand that only 2 of us are having this conflict on 1988 Gilgit Massacre and Osama Bin Laden currently, I can point out that how he is misrepresenting sources on talk pages or calling reliable sources unreliable, but Willard84's disruption is far more than that.

  1. reported me to Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism
  2. copy pasting same messages on at least 3 pages. even on Help Talk:Edit summary, , ,
  3. copy pasted my message by himself then falsely accused me of copy pasting my message

Another concern with Willard84 is that it takes him 5-10 or more edits to make one reply, generally it takes only 1 or 2 edits. It is really obvious that he is out of control. I think another block or topic ban will make things easier. Excelse (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

1) I didn't violate the 3RR as I self reverted the edits on Gilgit Massacre page once I realized that I had reverted three times - I had only counted two since I hit the "undo" button twice, forgetting that my initial edit that day was actually a reversion. In any case, i self reverted once I realized what happened since I'm not looking to be banned again. And the edit listed as is a different page: doesn't 3RR rule refer to the same page?
2) the same issue was posted to the 1988 Gilgit Massacre page and Osama Bin Laden page because the information presented was written on both pages. Therefore the same issue arose on both pages. Keep in mind that this info was introduced into both pages by the same sockpuppet on 31 December 2016 User:Towns Hill over here and here. He posted the same sort of information on both pages, and hence why the same issue needed to be discussed on both pages. Besides, Excelse did the same. I suppose I didn't need to put anything on his talk page.
3) I think the "number of edits" is a superfluous argument - no one has ever told me that there is a limit to the number of edits which should be made. Especially since as you can see I actually leave pretty good edit summaries and do one edit at a time for each. And the example he gave is on the talk page rather than the article itself - so does this even matter?
4) As for his accusation regarding , I didn't notice that what he wrote differed by a few words. Otherwise as you can see he basically wrote the same thing twice back-to-back, the only thing I didn't really notice is that he included in his second version the words "your demands have been fulfilled." Otherwise the two statements were exactly the same. For this I apologize, and this was an inadvertent mistake; I was trying to clean up the page because it looked like he accidentally hit "paste" twice since the two paragraphs are identical minus the last 5 words.
5) The report for vandalism was genuine. User Excelse had completely erased the long discussion that was being had on the discussion page, and replaced it with email addresses and a link to a Facebook profile. This look like vandalism and so I reported it. You can see here on 11 July 5:56 AM that the user erased 5,900kb of information that was later voided, and so I didn't pursue the matter further after I noticed he reverted.
6) I misrepresented no sources. My concern is the. That all these accusations appear to Stanback to one single author. Are you been requested a comment for this from other users in order to help thus dispute prompting a third user, Kautilya3, to join.

Willard84 (talk) 14:01, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

I have protected 1988 Gilgit Massacre for a week. It is troubling that User:Willard84 moves on so quickly from one dispute to another. At present I don't see the need for a block at the 1988 Gilgit Massacre but Willard84's attitude to resolving disputes leaves much to be desired. Under WP:ARBIPA it possible to issue topic bans to one or both parties. Anyone who shows themselves unable to follow the usual steps of WP:Dispute resolution could be at risk of a ban. EdJohnston (talk) 16:18, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Outing?

Don't you see this edit as an outing? I've requested suppression of the edit; as an admin I would have thought you'd take stronger action. WikiDan61ReadMe!! 13:45, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

I have no objection to the edit being suppressed. The bad intentions are evident but it looks like the assumed connection to a real-life person doesn't exist. EdJohnston (talk) 15:24, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

1RR?

Sorry, I'd never even heard of 1RR. I would have undid my reversion as you suggested but somebody beat me to it.—Chowbok 05:20, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

First Epistle to Timothy

Hello, the article you had protected for 2 months is now possibly going to have SOCK edits as a new IP 24.217.234.150 added similar content to that of IP 66.215.220.110 and User:Eric the fever. The dispute is still being discussed at articles talk page. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 03:11, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

I've semiprotected for a year. I hope you'll be prepared to open up an WP:RFC or start other forms of WP:DR if it turns out that the authorship dispute is not over. EdJohnston (talk) 12:57, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
I haven't engaged in the discussion since March. I wouldn't know what to say in the RFC, but thanks for protecting the article. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 19:26, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
If there has been a revert war over specific material, just start an RfC asking for votes pro or con including that material. Or, ease into the question by proposing on the talk page a specific wording for the RfC and see if others agree with you. EdJohnston (talk) 23:12, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Help, please?

How can I leave a message for an IP 2001:2003:54FA:D2:0:0:0:1? He also claims to be WubTheCaptain. He has been messing around with a video clip that has already been reviewed and closed as keep. His behavior has been disruptive with hints of trying to be helpful. That's the kind of behavior I've been confronted with by more than one editor today. Is it cyclical, or is it the weather? 😳 08:07, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Close my block request please

As my block expired my unblock request on my talk page is useless. I can't close it and don't want to remove it, if you could close it and decline it, then it would be helpful. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 09:22, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
