I thought it might be easier to continue the discussion here rather than on the latest IP talk page. As Drmies mentioned this has been going on for a long time but seems to have escalated since (early?) December. The target is generally dog breed articles, making half dozen or so edits changing weights, heights, adding large/medium to the lead often with an edit summary using "accept" or some permutation of it. Graham87 may have more information as I noticed he blocked one of the IP addresses for 6 months and around the same time commented that an IP was vandalising Simple Wiki as well? I'm not technically minded enough to know how the constant changing and vast variation in IP addresses is done (I wouldn't be much use as a sock or a vandal!) so I don't know if blocking will eventually stop the disruption. I know that I should have diligently been putting warnings on the IP talk pages but it seemed pointless as the IP address just kept changing. SagaciousPhil - Chat 19:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Might I add according to said article all kings before john went by king of the English? so why aren't the kings up until john king of the English? Why is it that at cnut it just suddenly changes to king of England? I am simply trying to make it consistent by making it clear king of England and king of the English are one and the same and not separate titles. The king of England is the king of the English so why is there a war over this small trivial detail? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.31.127.78 ( talk) 19:54, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
according to the article styles of british monarchs it says that all kings until king john were king of the English so why aren't all kings up until john king of the English instead of England? I am simply trying to make it consistent because king of England and king of the English are one and the same and not separate titles as one might believe.

hello there. I am a new user here. I appreciate the efforts you have put in so far to make Wikipedia a trusted place of information for everyone. I have done some minor editing which you have reverted back, I don't understand why. I just corrected the definition of the subject which was wrongly defined. I believe I haven't violated the terms and conditions, haven't made any hate speech or disruptive edition. Kindly review it and inform me if that can be updated or not. thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farhaantariq ( talk • contribs) 11:19, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
What would you suggest as a course of action after Ahmed747's third [3] [4] [5] attempt to remove references and referenced information from the Marwanids article? After Ahmed747's first attempt, I revert them and posted a warning on their talk page, [6] which garnered no response. Since then, Ahmed747 has continued his Kurdish POV pushing, removing references and referenced information along the way. [7] [8] -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 17:33, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
This is about User:Reguyla/ User:Kumioko. I'd like to ask that you remove the extension of the ban, as while it is a ban evasion, it seems quite obvious that the way he attempted to contribute when ban evading was in a constructive manner. Plus, resetting the ban length for a few simple constructive edits does seem a bit unnecessary.
Also, even if that can't be done, I'd like to bring up the nature of the first ANI discussion. It seems like a discussion created on the basis of hate. I actually agree with Reguyla, admins do become abusive with power at times, and this seems like no exception. (this referring to the how the admins seem to hate Reguyla, just so you don't think I'm referring to you resetting the block. I don't think you're like that.) I've seen it before with my own eyes. Simply questioning an admin can and has lead to blocks and bans for me, (Though not on ENWiki, but still) so I'd know first hand exactly what Reguyla was referring to.
My apologies for this quite long message, but I feel like all of this needs to be said. - LikeLakers2 ( talk | Sign my guestbook!) 22:48, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

On the Battle of Argentoratum, I noticed a massive addition and deletion of information. After user:Alexander Gellos moves the page, an undiscussed move I might add, within minutes an IP arrives and starts adding odd paragraphs of information which include bracketed numbers, as such [61]. Which led me to believe this information had been copy & pasted. A cursory search results in hits on theapricity.com site, servinghistory.com and liquisearch.com. Literally word-for-word. I reverted the information, but I doubt the IP, whom I suspect is user:Alexander Gellos, will start a discussion. Just thought I would let you know. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 04:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Hey again. Thank you for your block on this person. Was originally going to enquire the block despite a lack of a final warning, but his edit history has shown for it.

I have left a message on user:Librarian12345's talk page concerning their new article Farhad Beg, which was copied from here, virtually the entire 12th paragraph(search for 1614 and follow the sentences back from there).

Hi Favonian. I wonder whether you can give your always impartial views on 80.2.172.185's efforts to improve contents :) Regards JRPG ( talk) 12:37, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
User:Ghatus and user:Xtremedood, have chosen to edit war over numerous articles( Siege of Sirhind, Battle of Sarsa, Battles involving the Maratha Empire, Battle of Sinhagad, Mughal–Maratha Wars, et.al.). I warned both of edit warring [15] [16], both editors removed my warnings [17] [18] Perhaps a notification of editing restrictions over India/Pakistan articles would be in order, since both Ghatus and Xtremedood have exchanged the typical vandalism accusations/personal attacks. Thought I would bring this to your attention, although if their edit warring persists, I will just report both of them. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 04:04, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
BTW, I slammed Kansas Bear in Khilji dynasty page with sources and references and he is still licking his wounds.(sorry for the phrase, but I have no other to describe). Ghatus ( talk) 04:51, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
As an administrator, I'm supposed to maintain a detached attitude and enforce rules without being influenced by my perception of the editors' personalities. In your case, Ghatus, I find that impossible as you have managed to present yourself as utterly obnoxious. I therefore wash my hands of the case and leave it to the tender mercies of whatever higher powers end up having to deal with this mess. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy my Easter break!

Hi Favonian! I am proud to be back as an editor and I am now making positive contributions here on Wikipedia. I think you might remember blocking me last year for vandalism. But I have been unblocked and am now, as I said, making positive contributions. You are a great admin. I have a question about administrators.

Hallo Favonian
I have a question: why did you revert the edit of an ip at
Gregory V of Constantinople? i think that he is trying to restore what the source says. I am asking since you are the third or fourth user who is doing that, and I am starting to think that maybe I am overseeing something. BTW, some days ago I opened a thread about that on the talk page. Thanks,

Hello, Favonian. I want to inform you that, apparently, banned user Sonny1998 returned once again via another sock puppet. On 21 March 2015, you banned his sock Favour1600 (his contributions - [19]), and now he's back as Roy1960 (his contributions - [20])... Also, it seems he is using these IP addresses (or used them before, at least) - [21], [22], and [23]. IMHO, this is a clear DUCK, all accounts and IP addresses have almost the same style of editing. By the way, maybe users Bbb23 and DoRD would like to post their comments about this. -- Sundostund ( talk) 21:40, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the reverts - and especially thanks for the revdel on the edit summary. I should have done that at the same time, but missed it. - Bilby ( talk) 12:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey Favonian, this editor you locked as a VOA ~15 months ago is asking for a second chance via UTRS ( UTRS appeal #13320). Would you have an objection to an unblock per WP:ROPE? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:02, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with the clean up at Abigail Breslin. You arrived at a time I thought no admin was around to help. The page protection and blocks were timely. Now I can go to sleep, it's 5:45 AM where I live. Cheers! Optakeover (Talk) 21:45, 14 March 2015 (UTC) |
Cheers to you! I rarely get upset at the all the vandalism at this place, but this creep (or these creeps) were really quite revolting. Well, it will have to live out its fantasies elsewhere for a while. Favonian ( talk) 21:48, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
You blocked Konglich as a sockpuppet of Stubes99; do you think that Kirglach is also a sock? ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 18:13, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Does Paul Kevin Obama ( talk · contribs) sound familiar? Lots of 'Obamas' editing Wikipedia apparently. See here. Just FYI. Already reported to wp:SPI. 220 of Borg 13:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
On the Battle of Argentoratum, I noticed a massive addition and deletion of information. After user:Alexander Gellos moves the page, an undiscussed move I might add, within minutes an IP arrives and starts adding odd paragraphs of information which include bracketed numbers, as such [61]. Which led me to believe this information had been copy & pasted. A cursory search results in hits on theapricity.com site, servinghistory.com and liquisearch.com. Literally word-for-word. I reverted the information, but I doubt the IP, whom I suspect is user:Alexander Gellos, will start a discussion. Just thought I would let you know. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 04:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Hey again. Thank you for your block on this person. Was originally going to enquire the block despite a lack of a final warning, but his edit history has shown for it. I wonder how you managed to find him, which makes it all the more satisfying that you got him. Cheers! Optakeover (Talk) 18:51, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Can the title of Battle of Strasbourg be changed to Battle of Argentoratum (Strasbourg) please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexander Gellos ( talk • contribs) 22:07, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Edit filters tripping all over Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse as well. Might be worth slapping PP on this one as well. Amortias ( T)( C) 23:04, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
I noticed you are working on improving Tyler Perry's For Better or For Worse... Thanks for taking it on! Just FYI- I noticed there are a lot of unsourced, incorrect ratings for season five episodes. WillowFeldman ( talk) 03:49, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

hi, favonian pls why did you delete 20:59, 22 March 2015 Favonian (talk | contribs) deleted page Miroslav Srnka (A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events)) before having chance to add something or edit more? thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.70.186.152 ( talk) 21:07, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
I have left a message on user:Librarian12345's talk page concerning their new article Farhad Beg, which was copied from here, virtually the entire 12th paragraph(search for 1614 and follow the sentences back from there). I am not sure of the time given on this sort of issue, so I thought I would let you know in case the article needs to be deleted. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 15:45, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Sorry about that, we were reviewing the same edit at the same time. Regards, -- Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 14:45, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Favonian. I wonder whether you can give your always impartial views on 80.2.172.185's efforts to improve contents :) Regards JRPG ( talk) 12:37, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
User:Ghatus and user:Xtremedood, have chosen to edit war over numerous articles( Siege of Sirhind, Battle of Sarsa, Battles involving the Maratha Empire, Battle of Sinhagad, Mughal–Maratha Wars, et.al.). I warned both of edit warring [15] [16], both editors removed my warnings [17] [18] Perhaps a notification of editing restrictions over India/Pakistan articles would be in order, since both Ghatus and Xtremedood have exchanged the typical vandalism accusations/personal attacks. Thought I would bring this to your attention, although if their edit warring persists, I will just report both of them. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 04:04, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
BTW, I slammed Kansas Bear in Khilji dynasty page with sources and references and he is still licking his wounds.(sorry for the phrase, but I have no other to describe). Ghatus ( talk) 04:51, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
As an administrator, I'm supposed to maintain a detached attitude and enforce rules without being influenced by my perception of the editors' personalities. In your case, Ghatus, I find that impossible as you have managed to present yourself as utterly obnoxious. I therefore wash my hands of the case and leave it to the tender mercies of whatever higher powers end up having to deal with this mess. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy my Easter break!

Hi Favonian! I am proud to be back as an editor and I am now making positive contributions here on Wikipedia. I think you might remember blocking me last year for vandalism. But I have been unblocked and am now, as I said, making positive contributions. You are a great admin. I have a question about administrators. Do administrators work on Wikipedia as a 'job' in real life that they make money from? Thanks. Fresh Sullivan ( talk) 01:30, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
I was looking for the correct redirect tag. I missed that one. Thanks! JoeSperrazza ( talk) 23:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
See here. I have blocked this one as a duck, but am not sure whether to revert everything he has done, and I am out of time. You seem to know the background - can I leave it to you? Cheers, JohnCD ( talk) 16:56, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
Hallo Favonian
I have a question: why did you revert the edit of an ip at
Gregory V of Constantinople? i think that he is trying to restore what the source says. I am asking since you are the third or fourth user who is doing that, and I am starting to think that maybe I am overseeing something. BTW, some days ago I opened a thread about that on the talk page. Thanks,

Hello, Favonian. I want to inform you that, apparently, banned user Sonny1998 returned once again via another sock puppet. On 21 March 2015, you banned his sock Favour1600 (his contributions - [19]), and now he's back as Roy1960 (his contributions - [20])... Also, it seems he is using these IP addresses (or used them before, at least) - [21], [22], and [23]. IMHO, this is a clear DUCK, all accounts and IP addresses have almost the same style of editing. By the way, maybe users Bbb23 and DoRD would like to post their comments about this. -- Sundostund ( talk) 21:40, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Favonian. Editor -142.30.108.66- has a consistent record and I'm sure could improve any articles on profanities if pointed in the right direction :) JRPG ( talk) 19:00, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
