I noticed an odd addition to the Ghazni article. [1] Upon further investigating, this addition has sources but nothing mentioning Ghazni. The editor: Work number1987 appears to have made additions to numerous articles using the same paragraph, sources and wording. The only difference being the opening sentence:

Greeting. A user (originally an anonymous user ( 193.212.189.197), now registered as user:AudunNilsen) keeps adding original research to the article of Ragnar Lodbrok, trying to tie the Viking to the Merovingian minor king Ragnachar and even the Arthurian legend... Not a single proper source is ever given which ties the two persons together. Not even when challenged. His edits thus violate WP:NOR. I'm afraid this might get out of hand. I tried to put my reasons of reverting his edits on the article's talkpage ( Talk:Ragnar Lodbrok), but he/she just launches in a diatribe and keeps adding the contented subsection back into to Ragnar's article.

Hi, sorry to ask you as an admin who I've seen be very helpful before, and I hope this won't be too irritating. I hope that you can advise me about a situation that I've manually fixed rather drastically, which means that the page histories are even more complicated and confusing than they were before. A novice editor has been moving pages in a way that I can't follow in the page history. There was a page, Brahmanbaria, about the city in Bangladesh that has been there for quite some time, but the page history is now very short, starting off with a page move "moved page Brahmanbaria to B-baria City, Bangladesh". The changes and moves are bad, the person is claiming that the official name of the city is B-baria, but that is just one of several abbreviations that are sometimes used on maps and other documents, B.baria and B'baria are others. The city always was and still is called Brahmanbaria. I fear that in restoring the information for readers, I've made the page histories even worse, and I wonder how this could all be rolled back.

you attack me with a threat with ban , its it against the rules?, you havent even asked me what I did? ,maybe I accidently did it or did it of fault, its very ignorant to judge a man before asking him out and having evidence and knowing him/her intentions, you seem to think that everyone here is a bad egg because a few dont follow the rules, so please, stop your accusations, or do something meaningful, its sad to see people here to do nothing else , I try to give facts from a objective perspective, people who even believe anything as long at it is has a source from a book, its very unprofessional , like you, Siktirgitir ( talk) 23:43, 21 December 2014 (UTC)kansas bear , Siktirgitir ( talk) 23:43, 21 December 2014 (UTC)edward123 or whatever his name was, and several others that start editing wars and dont respect other people despit the fact and in history there so no such mention of particular saying, its quite sad, anyhow , I hope some day maybe you'll get better , because even if you contribute you do it in a different way but the lack of respect for others as I earlier mentioned, as I am saying these words you will only delete these , which those you dont respect at all and reinforce cencorship, thats to sad, I edited in kansas bears and your talk site before but you edited it made me realize that you can learn from bad eggs, I am saying this with regret, anyhow good luck with editing and keep up threathing others, seem you are good at it,

Hey, I've tagged you on my talk page. Long story short, I think that there may be some sockpuppetry going on here when it comes to User:Mnaqvii or at least some hardcore meatpuppetry, since before you blocked Mnaqvii another account came to my talk page and cursed me out. It's a little too organized to be a coincidence and there appears to have been a lot of SPA or nearly SPA coming on to create pages about very specific people. I'm leaning towards meatpuppetry, but this may need to go to SPI. What do you think? Tag me back on your talk page. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:58, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

I created an edit for the Neil deGrasse Tyson for where he was born and raised. The video I used as a citation clearly shows him referencing his birthplace where he states "born and raised in the Bronx". If the information isn't truthful from Tyson himself then what is truthful?

I am not vandalizing I am simply providing information based on evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BDFELIZ ( talk • contribs) 10:55, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Indeed, perhaps I'm missing something here, but a 4im warning for an edit that actually tried to include a reference seems a little harsh. [14] also claims he was born in the Bronx, so there seems to be some legitimate disagreement between sources. Mr. Z-man 19:08, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

@favonian Oh, that edit. Yes it was personal. But true, ergo fact. This is supposed to be a community, but since arriving this morning, I have had one helpful comment - about signing my post. Everything else has been negative. I post a page. I then defend that page with a contest of deletion. Why was this not even considered? I broke no rules in creating the page. And had no reply to my contention. Therefore, my personal violation was simply highlighted to the person in question and the world. It would add insult to injury if this guy was also paid by Wiki, one of the greatest inventions of the century, to uphold his personal ideology.

Hello Favonian- Wondering if I can bug you for help or advice with an issue I'm encountering. I noticed several erroneous changes from an IP editor yesterday and reverted them. Now we've reverted each other a couple times. I tried to communicate with him/her to no avail, and wanted to bring it to someone's attention before I revert again. Some of the editor's work on other pages is helpful, so I'm not sure if I should ask for a block, though as a rule I'm much less inclined to be understanding with anonymous IP editors. My edits from the 24th will give you the picture: Special:Contributions/Eric. Thanks in advance for any help or tips. Eric talk 18:36, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

On your first point on my talk page, under the same title: Nicholas II married his first cousin, Alix of Hesse. Nicholas was first cousin to George, and Wilhelm and George were first cousins on their mother's side.
In the context of WWI, which is where this information gets called out on the main page, it is a minor point that the Tsarina was a first cousin since she had little impact in the lead up and outcome of the war, but it is a major point that Nicholas, George, and Wilhelm were so closely related. "One aspect of the war upon which she remarks is the close connection among the three principal monarchs of the age, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany; King George V of England; and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. In fact, they were all cousins with each other: Wilhelm and George were first cousins, George and Nicholas were also first cousins, and Wilhelm and Nicholas were third cousins."

you attack me with a threat with ban , its it against the rules?, you havent even asked me what I did? ,maybe I accidently did it or did it of fault, its very ignorant to judge a man before asking him out and having evidence and knowing him/her intentions, you seem to think that everyone here is a bad egg because a few dont follow the rules, so please, stop your accusations, or do something meaningful, its sad to see people here to do nothing else , I try to give facts from a objective perspective, people who even believe anything as long at it is has a source from a book, its very unprofessional , like you, Siktirgitir ( talk) 23:43, 21 December 2014 (UTC)kansas bear , Siktirgitir ( talk) 23:43, 21 December 2014 (UTC)edward123 or whatever his name was, and several others that start editing wars and dont respect other people despit the fact and in history there so no such mention of particular saying, its quite sad, anyhow , I hope some day maybe you'll get better , because even if you contribute you do it in a different way but the lack of respect for others as I earlier mentioned, as I am saying these words you will only delete these , which those you dont respect at all and reinforce cencorship, thats to sad, I edited in kansas bears and your talk site before but you edited it made me realize that you can learn from bad eggs, I am saying this with regret, anyhow good luck with editing and keep up threathing others, seem you are good at it,

Hey, I've tagged you on my talk page. Long story short, I think that there may be some sockpuppetry going on here when it comes to User:Mnaqvii or at least some hardcore meatpuppetry, since before you blocked Mnaqvii another account came to my talk page and cursed me out. It's a little too organized to be a coincidence and there appears to have been a lot of SPA or nearly SPA coming on to create pages about very specific people. I'm leaning towards meatpuppetry, but this may need to go to SPI. What do you think? Tag me back on your talk page. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:58, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

I created an edit for the Neil deGrasse Tyson for where he was born and raised. The video I used as a citation clearly shows him referencing his birthplace where he states "born and raised in the Bronx". If the information isn't truthful from Tyson himself then what is truthful? Why did I receive a threat as well. I am not vandalizing I am simply providing information based on evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BDFELIZ ( talk • contribs) 10:55, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Indeed, perhaps I'm missing something here, but a 4im warning for an edit that actually tried to include a reference seems a little harsh. [14] also claims he was born in the Bronx, so there seems to be some legitimate disagreement between sources. Mr. Z-man 19:08, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi, you warned Omidkaveh ( talk · contribs) the other day about his shenanigans at Søren (given name). Just a heads-up that he's at it again; another rv of the same material, no engagement on talk and no sign that he's getting the point at last. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:09, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Can you protect this article? I suspect user:Kurdose is the IP82.22.195.4, who is edit warring. Now another "new user" has appeared to remove referenced information. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 23:49, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Would you kindly revert the edit by Pietje96 in the article on Bermudo Núñez and protect the article to prevent another edit war? I suggested that he should write an article on the etymology of Vela rather than adding such a long note in this article which I created on this medieval individual, Bermudo Núñez, which should focus on him rather than becoming a treatise on the etymology which, some authors claim is Basque while others Visigothic.

This is is operated by a long term troll I have been documenting for years. He has repeatedly replaced the content of several articles to change it about one person into another and als whitewashed pages of one man's influence in the entertainment field.

It was a question, not an attack. Im the one who was attacked. Since when was this community so closed? Communism should work in this forum, surely. There does not seem to be any help or answers. Furthermore, the tone used was not conducive to resolution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kosta matt ( talk • contribs) 15:25, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
@favonian Oh, that edit. Yes it was personal. But true, ergo fact. This is supposed to be a community, but since arriving this morning, I have had one helpful comment - about signing my post. Everything else has been negative. I post a page. I then defend that page with a contest of deletion. Why was this not even considered? I broke no rules in creating the page. And had no reply to my contention. Therefore, my personal violation was simply highlighted to the person in question and the world. It would add insult to injury if this guy was also paid by Wiki, one of the greatest inventions of the century, to uphold his personal ideology. So, as you involved yourself, quite precociously, are there any answers to any of my questions? Kosta matt ( talk) 15:37, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
I noticed that you blocked Mark Richard Hamill for the user name. I wondered whether you were aware of Olha; this was apparently one of their most recent socks. They often use real people's names.

User:Yprpyqp continues to add massive amounts of text to the Shapur II article. [19] I found one such sentence earlier as being copy & pasted from Touraj Daryaee's, Sasanian Persia: The Rise and Fall of An Empire, page 17. I posted this information on user:Yprpyqp's talk page and the Shapur:Talk page, which resulted in no response. I would prefer if you or another Admin could keep an eye on this editor's activities owing to his penchant for plagiarism. Thank you. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 05:40, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello Favonian- Wondering if I can bug you for help or advice with an issue I'm encountering. I noticed several erroneous changes from an IP editor yesterday and reverted them. Now we've reverted each other a couple times. I tried to communicate with him/her to no avail, and wanted to bring it to someone's attention before I revert again. Some of the editor's work on other pages is helpful, so I'm not sure if I should ask for a block, though as a rule I'm much less inclined to be understanding with anonymous IP editors. My edits from the 24th will give you the picture: Special:Contributions/Eric. Thanks in advance for any help or tips. Eric talk 18:36, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Many thanks for making the move for Richard de Belmeis II. I'm working on biographies of medieval people related to the West Midlands, particularly Staffordshire and Shropshire, and had been irritated by the illogical titles, not to speak of the lack of real content, of the Belmeis articles for some time.

On your first point on my talk page, under the same title: Nicholas II married his first cousin, Alix of Hesse. Nicholas was first cousin to George, and Wilhelm and George were first cousins on their mother's side.
In the context of WWI, which is where this information gets called out on the main page, it is a minor point that the Tsarina was a first cousin since she had little impact in the lead up and outcome of the war, but it is a major point that Nicholas, George, and Wilhelm were so closely related. "One aspect of the war upon which she remarks is the close connection among the three principal monarchs of the age, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany; King George V of England; and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. In fact, they were all cousins with each other: Wilhelm and George were first cousins, George and Nicholas were also first cousins, and Wilhelm and Nicholas were third cousins."

What can be done concerning the editing of user:Eleanor Dreadney? This person is clearly having problems editing in English and his/her additions to articles are at best made up of broken English(possibly with the use of google translator?).
