...keeps going

User:24.85.232.175 and User:GiW are continuing the naming edit wars on Polish-Lithuanian articles: Władysław Syrokomla, Švitrigaila, Vilnius, Simonas Daukantas, Bernardine Cemetary, Vilkaviskis and probably a few others.

Do I need to file an AE report or can you just give them the "standard warning".Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

IP blocked (almost only reverts) and editor warned.  Sandstein  06:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Actually, that IP is very likely a banned editor, will investigate further.  Sandstein  06:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your message. There was one more anonymous IP involved in the action (24.114.238.202). I noticed that both IP's are from the same city: , . So it looks like to be IP-hopping. Both IP's were used just for edit warring, so imho, they should be banned for more than three days. Btw, some contributions of the banned IP are still unreverted: Władysław Syrokomla, Simonas Daukantas, Bernardine Cemetary, Antakalnis Cemetery, Vilkaviškis. So I wonder if I can revert them now? GiW (talk) 16:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Please don't. If I determine that the IP(s) edited in violation of a ban, I'll revert them myself after taking the appropriate action against the ban evader.  Sandstein  16:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok, but IP edited just before a ban. In addition, if those contributions will be left unreverted, this will encourage such practice of using anon-IP's for disruptive contributions. GiW (talk) 21:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't know anything about the IP. However, take a look at GiW's edit history as well. It's all minor edits, cat sorting and assessment (stuff that doesn't require "talking" but builds a sort of an "edit history") and several copy/pasted copy vio articles ()- and then all of sudden he jumps into these edit wars out of nowhere. The user also avoids any kind of discussion or even making a statement that is longer than a few words.Volunteer Marek (talk) 15:39, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I am using my time for contributing Misplaced Pages but not for writing long and demagogic messages, wasting time of other editors and administrators. Btw, it is strange that when I started to revert nationalistic contributions of some anonymous IP's, Volunteer Marek began some kind of personal attacks reporting me to the administrators and looking for things to pick on. I looked over last Easter European-related case and discovered User's M.K comment about similar anonymous IPs actions and Volunteer Marek involvement. Regrettably, it seems that such behavior is tolerated in Misplaced Pages... GiW (talk) 21:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

It would be much more helpful if you were to promise less reverting instead of discussing others, like VM. Reporting an editor, or asking an admin what one should do, is certainly not a personal attack, accusing an editor of personal attacks and some weird involvement allegations constitutes one. At least, that's my take on it, I expect Sandstein to correct me if I am wrong. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 22:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hence the warning.  Sandstein  16:32, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I was blocked for 72 hours for disruption

Those guys are refusing to discuss anything with me.

Bigks diff is just baloney. I have supplied citations from the most prestigious central bank economists and central bankers in the english speaking world and endless other citations from the last 40 years from other central bankers. All he wants is a page that reflects what he wants to see and with your cooperation that is exactly what he is getting.

They are gaming the system and taking you down with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewedwardjudd (talk • contribs) 20:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

IP Edits - Jacurek

Hi Sandstain, My cousin made the IP edits you are investigating right now therefore some IP's may cross. I did not ask him to do it and I did not know about it until today but I realize that this does not look good. Please do whatever you think is necessary cause I'm probably done with Misplaced Pages anyway. Thanks.Jacurek (talk) 21:45, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi

Sandstein, when mbz1 linked her statement to this image, passionless accused her in linking her statement to an image of a Palestinian, and claimed it was racist. Actually it was passionless who made a racist statement describing this image as an image of a Palestinian. This image is an image of a murderer who lost his right to be a Palestinian, and it is precisely what Abbas said about other murderers "such act does not represent the Palestinian people."

Sandstein, you made an error in your assessment of mbz1's statement and in your assessment of passionless's conduct.

mbz1 is here to improve Misplaced Pages

passionless is here to use Misplaced Pages as a battleground.--Broccolo (talk) 18:17, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't have time to figure out and respond to confused texts with no diffs that don't tell me what the problem is and what they want me to do. Same thing with the comment by Andrewedwardjudd above.  Sandstein  19:26, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

You may want to read WP:GRA.  Sandstein  20:21, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

There's no need to go read WP:GRA for me.

I meant this out of touch comment of yours. There is practically nothing in your comment that represents a real situation with the editor. For example, the so called indefinite block had nothing to do with the topic, and besides it was reviewed and found to be unwarranted, and above I have already addressed the concern you expressed about mbz1 comment on the article's discussion page.

Please see User talk:Ludvikus#Mentorship -- PBS (talk) 18:24, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't really see how this concerns me.  Sandstein  19:27, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Apologies

I've raised 2 points at ARB/EN as to why reporting edit warring might have seemed important to me and that I do not understand why this could be considered as a block-able offense. Regardless, I apologise if you were personally feeling that I was wasting people's time. Jaakobou 21:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Stalin's poetry

On 20 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Stalin's poetry, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that before he entered politics, Joseph Stalin's poetry was widely read and much admired in Georgia? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/8th coming

See User:Polymathicjahn. I noindexed it and added a userpage template, but given the nature of the AfD discussion should it exist at all? Earlier I removed this link from an article, as you can see it links to the recreation of his article on his userpage. Dougweller (talk) 19:01, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

It's similar but not identical to the deleted content. Per WP:FAKEARTICLE, though, there may be a case for MfDing this.  Sandstein  05:29, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

The 8th Coming

I have re-posted this with different language. you can see it on my profile as polymathicjahn. is this the way to do it or is there a protocol for re-posting the meaning of a term that has been deleted?

Jon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.206.161.219 (talk) 23:25, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

You should not re-post deleted content to your user space unless you intend to work on it so as to remedy the problems that caused its deletion. See WP:WWMAD. If you intend to do nothing else on Misplaced Pages than try to promote this book in some way, though, you are not welcome here. Misplaced Pages is not for promoting novel ideas, see WP:NOT.  Sandstein  05:33, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Tendentious editing

Could you please go through my request on WP:ANI again. Thanks--UplinkAnsh (talk) 06:43, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
