Hey, JB, take a look at the history of Blankenese Low Lighthouse when you get a chance. Every IP since at least July is the same editor; I reported the most recent one but nothing happened. – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 19:18, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

I need to edit something. Patrick10293 ( talk) 18:52, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
I need a bit of help :
1.) I have recently took up the 'List of top international rankings by country' page and started updating and modifying it so can you please check some of my edits so I can be self assured that whatever I am doing is correct
2.) I would like to change my name so can you help me in that Please! Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 12:46, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
@ Tylertoney Dude perfect: When I posted the message above I failed to create the link for you to check user name availability, but I've corrected it now. JBW ( talk) 17:44, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the confirmation and I will notify my name to you in a bit of while! Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 17:44, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Well just for my curiosity I have a question: 1.) On our user page, we click on the three dots.
2.) Choosing User groups
3.) If we type the name it will show the user and if no user available it will show 'no user with this name'
So, we can use that also right. Anyway, thanks for the link I will use it to check my name. The above thing was just a question in curiosity. Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 17:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

I recently noticed that:
1.)In ' List of top international rankings by country', there is a section for Northern Cyprus.
2.) According to me, Northern Cyprus is not a country but a de fecto state which is only considered a country by Turkey.
3.) There are two records to its name : I.) Largest Illuminated Flag - which is probably the most out-dated entry in any section which was recorded in 1974 and II.) Oldest female paragliding Fly at 2012 which is un-referrenced.
4.) I think it should be renamed in that section to Cyprus and the records should be updated properly. Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 18:55, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
So,
1.) Thank You JBW you help me quite a lot!!
2.) So now I will rename it to Cyprus and update everything!
3.) But, I will also leave the above (4 point) discussion on the talk page of List of top international rankings by country. Just in Case. Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 07:16, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

1.) Hey what are Barnstars?
2.) Is it some award? If Yes, then who gives this?
3.) On what criteria?
4.) Who gets it?
5.) How is it confirmed that someone deserves it?
6.) How many Barnstars are there? - Probably Numerous where I saw it but I am not sure!
7.) And what is your sixth Tempelate about High Grand Togneme Laureate??
So many question that you can only answer!! Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 17:38, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

I do not vandalize any pages for gain of my ideology, I didn't delete anything of substance on the original page. I spent my time and effort researching sources that show another side of the story. I can use different sources if need be, but I am providing insight to a very misunderstood minority among the populous. Very little evidence supports the killing of 33,711 people at Babi Yar and that is a fact. The only physical evidence supports 1000-3000 people being killed. I even used a photo from the main info about Babi Yar to state the obvious, if the information I posted is too biased please let me know and I will revise and repost the findings with a different source than the holocaust deprogramming which also uses primary sources to provide info on these subjects. Please do reply and talk to me about further violations as I am new to wikipedia and wish to report on often unreported facts as either disclaimers or in other ways.

Hey JBW, I'm Rebestalic, and yes I have been here before
If you have the time, check out User: 7vQtn2DRZp$F$Xp if you can--they're not a vandal but they seem to be making rather unilateral actions with editing that don't seem to be intellectual decisions--what I mean is, check this edit by them for example. This is an article about colours, and the editor changes spelling of 'Chartreuse' (that's like a, green-yellow colour) to 'Chartreux'--Chartreux is a breed of cat.
Now if I were to be really immature and sexist just for the sake of this pun, I take the liberty to say that they're a... p-word 😂

@ Rebestalic: Your note above saying "and yes I have been here before" prompted me to go back and re-read the earlier conversation between you and me. I see that in that conversation I made the terrible mistake of writing ˈsɛntɪˌʒɪmboʊ when of course I meant ˈsɛntɪˌdʒɪmboʊ. What can I say, beyond begging for your forgiveness?

Hi, I am a new user and I have recently added a picture of a profilometer to the "Profilometer" page and a tribometer to the "Tribometer" page which were promptly removed. The provided explanation was: "We already have enough images here; we don't need a catalog of every possible kind. Also, this looks rather like promotion." The images displayed on both pages are very outdated. The main image for the Profilometers is a snapshot of an instrument from the 1990s (!) with floppy disks (!). The second image is a profilometer for the 1940s. None of them represent what a profilometer actually looks like and provide any relevant value for anyone interested in learning about profilometers in 2021. As for the "we don't need a catalog of every possible kind" reasoning, if Wikipedia is an encyclopedia people use to learn, how can one claim that the information contained on a page about profilometers, essential for materials science and engineering yet 10x smaller than the one on Pokemons, is enough? As for the promotion: profilometers don't naturally occur - they are developed and patented by companies. There is no such thing as a generic brand profilometer. Thus, any image representing a profilometer could be argued to be a promotion. The images and captions I have provided do not contain any watermarks, marketing slogans or even subjective adjectives. They are short and only state the factual matter. It is disappointing to realize it is discouraged to update the content enriching Wikipedia. Thus, I would like the decision to remove the said images to be reconsidered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Materials Science 1 ( talk • contribs) 17:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Good afternoon, JBW Sorry for not answering for a long time. On the site for 2 days, I did not understand right away. Thank you for responding.

Hi, Was
this heavy-handedness really necessary?. They hadn't edited since my last warning so jumping to an indef 8 hours later IMHO is OTT.

Thank you for your note [1]. Since you mentioned that I could have done a better job at helping a new editor, I thought I should clarify the matter a bit.
The pages the user was particularly interested are frequent targets of sock-puppetry. If you looked at the edit history of [2], you'd notice the following editors, all of who are socks: SashankaChutia ( talk · contribs), Hachengsa ( talk · contribs), Logical_Man_2000 ( talk · contribs), KhiLanTzi ( talk · contribs) etc. The user made 4 edits ( [3], [4], [5], [6]). This was followed by a near-identical edit by an IP address ( [7]). This raised the possibility that the editor was aware of 3RR and was not so new to Wikipedia.
Nevertheless, I gave the benefit of doubt to this user and provided them links to RS and Rules & Guidelines when they reached out [8].

Good evening, JBW! I'm glad you responded. I hope that you and I will succeed. There are sources where Dmitry Soin gave an interview, he says that according to the statute of limitations he could not be detained, the case was but, Dmitry Soin in 1994 was on duty and a citizen came out on the road intoxicated and attacked Dmitry, in self-defense, Dmitry was acquitted by the court. In 2014, when the statute of limitations expired, the authorities of Pre-Dniester took advantage of this situation, since he was in opposition to the authorities of Pre-Dniester, they fabricated a case against him and accused him of everything that could be done. https://tiras.ru/tema-dnja/41941-pobeg-dmitriya-soina-v-zerkale-rossiyskoy-pressy.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Сергей Пи ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 17 March 2021 (UTC) https://wiki2.net/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%B8%D0%BD,_%D0%94%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%AE%D1%80%D1%8C%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Сергей Пи ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Dear JBW,
If you receive this message, I wanna let you know that sincerely apologize to you for my past behavior from 2012 and 2013. I sincerely apologize for edit warning in articles in the past, I have reed the entire policy and I promise I will never, ever, EVER, edit war ever again, and if an edit war starts to happen I will take the issue to the take page instead of arguing with users. I also sincerely apologize for cursing at you and other admins like I did in the past, especially in my edit summaries too, I apologize for cursing in my edit summaries when I edited articles in the past. If I can ask you politely, can I please have my account unblock so I can have one more final chance again? I promise you I will follow the policy and I will not leave cursing messages in my edit summaries when I edit articles and I promise I will never, ever, curse at you or other admins and users ever again. Also, I even promise not to make anymore sockpuppet accounts ever again. I have learned my lesson and I will be looking forward into changing my ways when I edit articles again, I really hope you can forgive me? Please JBW, I’m begging you. Can I “PLEASE” get one more final chance again? I will show you that I will follow the policy this time.

This is Bigshowandkane64 your talking too here, yes I know you permanently banned me back in 2013. But I swear, I did read the entire policy and I promise to NEVER edit war against users ever again. I know what I did was wrong before and I will be looking forward into changing my ways again if my account gets unblocked again, again I apologize for cursing at you and the other admins all those years ago before I got banned. Like I said before, I promise you I will never edit war again, I will not curse ever again, even in my edits summaries I promise I will never curse in my edit summaries ever again when I use to edit an article back then, I will follow the entire policy and I will not reverts anyones edits EVER again. If you don't believe me then that's ok, I just wanted to let you know I sincerely apologize to you for my past behavior all those eight years ago. I will show you that I will respect the policy and I will follow it for now on and again I promise I will never get angry at you or anyone else on here ever again. Please forgive me JBW, I'm begging you. I am being very apologetic to you right now, I didn't mean to cause all that harm I did before, eight years ago. Like I said, it's ok if you decline to unblock me, I'm just letting you know I sincerely apologize to you and every other admin on here too. 2600:1000:B06F:1C8D:991C:67C0:428:A8DF ( talk) 22:58, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

But I swear it, I am trying really hard to be nice to you guys. I said I am willing to change my ways and I sincerely promise I will not write or send anymore threats to you guys ever again, I even promise not to edit war ever again.

But I’ll do the WP:UTRS like you told me, I unfortunately don’t know if they will accept my account unblock ticket request, but I’ll try anyways. Like I said, I will not make the same mistakes like I did before in the past. I will follow the policy for now on, this will be my last message here for now on and I will go right to the WP:UTRS.

Hi, JB. Please stop by Richard Stanley (director) when you get a chance, one IP and three different registered editors have been trying to keep reliably referenced domestic abuse allegations off the article over the past several hours. – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 15:25, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
JB, you sent me a message on March 25, saying: "Thank you for your editing, which removed unsubstantiated allegations. The content you removed was an unambiguous violation of Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons, and you were perfectly right to remove it Also, I am a loss to understand the message above from ThatIPEditor. Sources are required for adding information, but you did not add anything."
Today, March 27, the allegations of abuse paragraph is back. I removed it with basically the same explanation of no convictions, no documentation, no court case. Another editor reverted my removal! While a Wikipedia entry is not the height of damning evidence, I am trying to do what is right. Stanley's career and reputation is in jeopardy because of this continued attempt at a smear campaign of lies and no documentation. I would add that whomever the person doing this is, one of their cites, Dread Central, Deadline, and Film, are hardly reputable news sources. They merely regurgitate the alleged victim's blog hearsay, and each other's information. SpectreVision, one day after the alleged victim's blog appeared, cut professional ties with Stanley, thus giving credence to the allegations as being legitimate and true.
If you won't removed the allegations of abuse paragraph and lock down the page to prevent further editing, may I simply rebut the allegations by "adding to" it? Or adding a separate paragraph? Personally, I would rather see the page locked down as you said the content was rightly removed. Thank you. Snoopy1138 ( talk) 18:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC) Snoopy1138

Hi, JBW. I'm confused, what about this block and unblock did you feel was WP:INVOLVED? It appears the user had their TPA revoked for calling ArbCom "bullying, narrow minded, undereducated morons". This is a pretty straightforward personal attack, which you seemed to agree with, calling Arbcom "fools and bullies", and invoked INVOLVED. As I'm sure you know, INVOLVED refers to disputes or conflicts in which a user has a conflict of interest or has strong feelings, specifically exempting situations in which the "involvement" is in a purely administrative capacity. It is not some "catch-22" that an admin cannot action a user for insulting them. As you expressed a clear, objective agreement with the personal attacks, you were not in a position to assess an unblock consensus as an uninvolved administrator. Instead you unblocked based on a dubious interpretation of INVOLVED, as an INVOLVED admin yourself, at least by my reckoning. I have no stake in this drama, but I'm concerned by your action here. By my assessment, it was blatantly abusive, if we're being honest. How can you defend this? ~Swarm~ {sting} 03:30, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello. You had blocked WeCareICare last month, as a sock of "Ricardo Toronto". They appear to be back as AchillesTBW and SYuV.

I changed your range block on Special:Contributions/2402:1980:0:0:0:0:0:0/32, which stopped everyone on that ISP from editing Wikipedia. Technically, this could constitute wheel warring because I changed your admin action, which changed one mine – but I think the circumstances warrant it. It was my fault for not labeling the block with {{ CheckUser block}}, but you really can't modify a block like that. It was based on CheckUser information and was designed to only work with the settings I specifically set. If you loosen it, it becomes useless. If you widen it, it causes massive collateral damage. However, MediaWiki does allow overlapping range blocks, such as doing two /33 blocks that overlap with a /32. This is really the only way to modify a block like that.

Hello. I was going through CAT:UNBLOCK and I am currently reviewing this users block.
I can certainly see how at first glance it looks like a corporate name, but I don't think it is a company name. They explain that it just means "Art and architecture" which google translate confirms. A google search of the term reveals a series of travel books subtitled by that name, but no company. It seems to just be a name describing their interests.
I am looking through the article and I agree it fails to meet our notability and verifiability standards. I am not sure it was meant to be promotional though. Searching for the subject of the article reveals to me that they probably don't meet the notability criteria. While they were in a major film festival they did not get much coverage. This is a difficult distinction for a new user to make.
I would like to explain to them that the article's subject probably does not meet the criteria for the project and allow them to continue editing in other areas. But I want to get your opinion on the matter before I proceed, and of course give you the chance to handle it yourself.
I will await your response before making any decision. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 00:31, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

I had posted a vandal report on Surtsicna who has recently arbitrarily removed family trees from hundreds of European Royal articles, who when was challenged on a particular page, repeatedly pointed to a "consensus" on a software template page, and issues with "sourcing" in debate, but had always put "what is relevance of these people" or "what is importance of these people" in the actual edit detail for every one of these times on the pages, seemingly deciding for themself which one is worthy to have their family trees left on the article page (it actually seems like the Royal article pages where the most people are watching, this person does not alter to avoid major push back and resistance). That does not seem to be in good faith and keeping with positive contributions to me, quite the opposite. This was apparently not found to be problematic on here by whoever reviewed the report, which I frankly find disturbing if this was all made apparent and understood when the decision was made, and I also saw a message I was not made aware of stating on Surtsicna's talk page that you yourself had not found problems with that person's editing practices and history but actually in mine, and that you were "going to look into it." I would please like to know if the edit details in the editing history of the affected pages in question (which is into the hundreds) was actually looked at, and what you are referring to in regard to my editing practices on here? Also, is there anyone in the website staff here who has a background in history that is noticing any of this and/or is a part of admin, because again, the amount of information that has been removed on a majority of the articles for Kings and Sovereigns recently by this individual is staggering? - JLavigne508 ( talk) 14:50, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Just so you know, the draft is not about Porus: it is about a fictional king who supposedly beat Alexander in the Indus Valley region. Porus lost to Alexander at the Hydapses. I ran a search once again and can confirm that no such king existed, and the draft therefore refers to a hoax. Thanks. Java Hurricane 14:03, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello
You deleted my "Ad Hominem Imperitum ". You didn't even wait for a week to have different opinions and a vote. why?
You wrote that the article cites is "a joke article". What do you mean? It is a 60 page academic article, I gave a lecture on this article in the Tel aviv University, and it is very serious.
If you only read the first paragraph- that is cynicism.
What you did is extremely rude and uncalled for. I have worked very hard writing that article. I have come up with a new classification of a logical fallacy. And I wrote a technically sound wikipedia page.
Please undo and open this matter to a vote. -- Schmuel ( talk) 17:05, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
1. The 1st paragraph of the article is ironic. It is even mentioned clearly in the footnote to that paragraph. What is ridiculous is that you refuse to understand this, cherry pick a single paragraph and make a vast generalization about an entire 60 page article. 2-3 :That is your opinion. I would like to hear other opinions, especially considering I spent hours editing that entry. 4: I said I gave a lecture on this article. That does not mean it was accepted in any way. People listened. That does not mean that it has been taken seriously or accepted in academic circles. I am just struggling on my journey in life and in my academic life. You making an [ad hominem] attack about "desperate concern" and "people of a different kind"- shows more about your character than anything else. You know close to 0 about me, yet you delete my work and then try to disparage me publicly. No empathy, no attempt to be civil.
If this is the formal attitude of Wikipedia- I do not want to have anything published here. But since you are one person-

Hi. Before starting ANI, hoping you can help me with something. User:Baseball Bugs continues to add a random contestant to List of Jeopardy! contestants and also created Matt Amodio and redirected it to the contestants article. User:Mlb96 commented in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 August 1 about my nomination for deletion. MLB = Major League Baseball, similar to the other user's handle. Then, Baseball Bugs re-added a rant to Talk:List of Jeopardy! contestants originally posted by multiple IPs. After the IP edits, the page was protected following addition of empty section headers and dozens of random IPs. Then 96.81.229.189 re-added Amodio to the contestant article with the summary "Revised previously deleted entry to add notability information: ninth all-time highest scoring contestant in regular season play.", not something a random IP user would use as a summary, and someone clearly familiar with Wikipedia. It's also the only edit by the IP user. Another edit made by 173.15.54.113 added Amodio, using Cite Episode, and is the only edit by that IP. Not something likely to be added by a random IP.
Are Baseball Bugs, Mlb96 and/or 96.81.229.189/173.15.54.113 related or possible socks of each other? Looking at the history of the contestants article, are any of those other IPs related to these four? Curious if you have comments before I open an ANI. Thanks. AldezD ( talk) 13:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
AldezD, admin chiming in here. If you believe Baseball_Bugs is socking, file an WP:SPI. Asking different admins to check is not efficient process and if he is socking (not a check user, so I cannot say), the situation will be handled. A conversation here, your talk, the article talk and on RfD is kind of anti-efficient. Star Mississippi 14:31, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
@ Mlb96:, I'll retract my accusation against you. My apologies. It was a suggestion since your username could be inferred as a baseball reference and you similar vote in the redirects for discussion. The other two IPs still could be another user due to the familiarity with referencing/Wikipedia coding, and having only edited adding Amodio to the contestants article.

Well just for my curiosity I have a question: 1.) On our user page, we click on the three dots.
2.) Choosing User groups
3.) If we type the name it will show the user and if no user available it will show 'no user with this name'
So, we can use that also right. Anyway, thanks for the link I will use it to check my name. The above thing was just a question in curiosity. Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 17:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

I recently noticed that:
1.)In ' List of top international rankings by country', there is a section for Northern Cyprus.
2.) According to me, Northern Cyprus is not a country but a de fecto state which is only considered a country by Turkey.
3.) There are two records to its name : I.) Largest Illuminated Flag - which is probably the most out-dated entry in any section which was recorded in 1974 and II.) Oldest female paragliding Fly at 2012 which is un-referrenced.
4.) I think it should be renamed in that section to Cyprus and the records should be updated properly. Tylertoney Dude perfect ( talk) 18:55, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
So,
1.) Thank You JBW you help me quite a lot!!

I do not vandalize any pages for gain of my ideology, I didn't delete anything of substance on the original page. I spent my time and effort researching sources that show another side of the story. I can use different sources if need be, but I am providing insight to a very misunderstood minority among the populous. Very little evidence supports the killing of 33,711 people at Babi Yar and that is a fact. The only physical evidence supports 1000-3000 people being killed. I even used a photo from the main info about Babi Yar to state the obvious, if the information I posted is too biased please let me know and I will revise and repost the findings with a different source than the holocaust deprogramming which also uses primary sources to provide info on these subjects. Please do reply and talk to me about further violations as I am new to wikipedia and wish to report on often unreported facts as either disclaimers or in other ways.

Hey JBW, I'm Rebestalic, and yes I have been here before
If you have the time, check out User: 7vQtn2DRZp$F$Xp if you can--they're not a vandal but they seem to be making rather unilateral actions with editing that don't seem to be intellectual decisions--what I mean is, check this edit by them for example. This is an article about colours, and the editor changes spelling of 'Chartreuse' (that's like a, green-yellow colour) to 'Chartreux'--Chartreux is a breed of cat.
Now if I were to be really immature and sexist just for the sake of this pun, I take the liberty to say that they're a... p-word 😂

Hi, I am a new user and I have recently added a picture of a profilometer to the "Profilometer" page and a tribometer to the "Tribometer" page which were promptly removed. The provided explanation was: "We already have enough images here; we don't need a catalog of every possible kind. Also, this looks rather like promotion." The images displayed on both pages are very outdated. The main image for the Profilometers is a snapshot of an instrument from the 1990s (!) with floppy disks (!). The second image is a profilometer for the 1940s. None of them represent what a profilometer actually looks like and provide any relevant value for anyone interested in learning about profilometers in 2021. As for the "we don't need a catalog of every possible kind" reasoning, if Wikipedia is an encyclopedia people use to learn, how can one claim that the information contained on a page about profilometers, essential for materials science and engineering yet 10x smaller than the one on Pokemons, is enough? As for the promotion: profilometers don't naturally occur - they are developed and patented by companies. There is no such thing as a generic brand profilometer. Thus, any image representing a profilometer could be argued to be a promotion. The images and captions I have provided do not contain any watermarks, marketing slogans or even subjective adjectives. They are short and only state the factual matter. It is disappointing to realize it is discouraged to update the content enriching Wikipedia. Thus, I would like the decision to remove the said images to be reconsidered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Materials Science 1 ( talk • contribs) 17:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your note [1]. Since you mentioned that I could have done a better job at helping a new editor, I thought I should clarify the matter a bit.
The pages the user was particularly interested are frequent targets of sock-puppetry. If you looked at the edit history of [2], you'd notice the following editors, all of who are socks: SashankaChutia ( talk · contribs), Hachengsa ( talk · contribs), Logical_Man_2000 ( talk · contribs), KhiLanTzi ( talk · contribs) etc. The user made 4 edits ( [3], [4], [5], [6]). This was followed by a near-identical edit by an IP address ( [7]). This raised the possibility that the editor was aware of 3RR and was not so new to Wikipedia.
Nevertheless, I gave the benefit of doubt to this user and provided them links to RS and Rules & Guidelines when they reached out [8].

In 2014, when the statute of limitations expired, the authorities of Pre-Dniester took advantage of this situation, since he was in opposition to the authorities of Pre-Dniester, they fabricated a case against him and accused him of everything that could be done. https://tiras.ru/tema-dnja/41941-pobeg-dmitriya-soina-v-zerkale-rossiyskoy-pressy.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Сергей Пи ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 17 March 2021 (UTC) https://wiki2.net/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%B8%D0%BD,_%D0%94%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%AE%D1%80%D1%8C%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Сергей Пи ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, JB. Please stop by Richard Stanley (director) when you get a chance, one IP and three different registered editors have been trying to keep reliably referenced domestic abuse allegations off the article over the past several hours. – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 15:25, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
JB, you sent me a message on March 25, saying: "Thank you for your editing, which removed unsubstantiated allegations. The content you removed was an unambiguous violation of Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons, and you were perfectly right to remove it Also, I am a loss to understand the message above from ThatIPEditor. Sources are required for adding information, but you did not add anything."
Today, March 27, the allegations of abuse paragraph is back. I removed it with basically the same explanation of no convictions, no documentation, no court case. Another editor reverted my removal! While a Wikipedia entry is not the height of damning evidence, I am trying to do what is right. Stanley's career and reputation is in jeopardy because of this continued attempt at a smear campaign of lies and no documentation. I would add that whomever the person doing this is, one of their cites, Dread Central, Deadline, and Film, are hardly reputable news sources. They merely regurgitate the alleged victim's blog hearsay, and each other's information. SpectreVision, one day after the alleged victim's blog appeared, cut professional ties with Stanley, thus giving credence to the allegations as being legitimate and true.
If you won't removed the allegations of abuse paragraph and lock down the page to prevent further editing, may I simply rebut the allegations by "adding to" it? Or adding a separate paragraph? Personally, I would rather see the page locked down as you said the content was rightly removed. Thank you. Snoopy1138 ( talk) 18:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC) Snoopy1138

Hi, JBW. I'm confused, what about this block and unblock did you feel was WP:INVOLVED? It appears the user had their TPA revoked for calling ArbCom "bullying, narrow minded, undereducated morons". This is a pretty straightforward personal attack, which you seemed to agree with, calling Arbcom "fools and bullies", and invoked INVOLVED. As I'm sure you know, INVOLVED refers to disputes or conflicts in which a user has a conflict of interest or has strong feelings, specifically exempting situations in which the "involvement" is in a purely administrative capacity. It is not some "catch-22" that an admin cannot action a user for insulting them. As you expressed a clear, objective agreement with the personal attacks, you were not in a position to assess an unblock consensus as an uninvolved administrator. Instead you unblocked based on a dubious interpretation of INVOLVED, as an INVOLVED admin yourself, at least by my reckoning. I have no stake in this drama, but I'm concerned by your action here. By my assessment, it was blatantly abusive, if we're being honest. How can you defend this? ~Swarm~ {sting} 03:30, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I changed your range block on Special:Contributions/2402:1980:0:0:0:0:0:0/32, which stopped everyone on that ISP from editing Wikipedia. Technically, this could constitute wheel warring because I changed your admin action, which changed one mine – but I think the circumstances warrant it. It was my fault for not labeling the block with {{ CheckUser block}}, but you really can't modify a block like that. It was based on CheckUser information and was designed to only work with the settings I specifically set. If you loosen it, it becomes useless. If you widen it, it causes massive collateral damage. However, MediaWiki does allow overlapping range blocks, such as doing two /33 blocks that overlap with a /32. This is really the only way to modify a block like that.

Hello James.
Thank you for adding that comment. It is far more helpful to the user and phrased much better than my attempt. I will likely use similar wording in a situation like this in the future.
Explaining things both clearly and concisely doesn't come easy for me. I supposed this is due to my relative inexperience. This is not the first time I've noticed someone else's explanation make mine look clumsy in comparison:) You have a great day! -- DB1729 ( talk) 17:35, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I was going through CAT:UNBLOCK and I am currently reviewing this users block.
I can certainly see how at first glance it looks like a corporate name, but I don't think it is a company name. They explain that it just means "Art and architecture" which google translate confirms. A google search of the term reveals a series of travel books subtitled by that name, but no company. It seems to just be a name describing their interests.
I am looking through the article and I agree it fails to meet our notability and verifiability standards. I am not sure it was meant to be promotional though. Searching for the subject of the article reveals to me that they probably don't meet the notability criteria. While they were in a major film festival they did not get much coverage. This is a difficult distinction for a new user to make.
I would like to explain to them that the article's subject probably does not meet the criteria for the project and allow them to continue editing in other areas. But I want to get your opinion on the matter before I proceed, and of course give you the chance to handle it yourself.
I will await your response before making any decision. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 00:31, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

I had posted a vandal report on Surtsicna who has recently arbitrarily removed family trees from hundreds of European Royal articles, who when was challenged on a particular page, repeatedly pointed to a "consensus" on a software template page, and issues with "sourcing" in debate, but had always put "what is relevance of these people" or "what is importance of these people" in the actual edit detail for every one of these times on the pages, seemingly deciding for themself which one is worthy to have their family trees left on the article page (it actually seems like the Royal article pages where the most people are watching, this person does not alter to avoid major push back and resistance). That does not seem to be in good faith and keeping with positive contributions to me, quite the opposite. This was apparently not found to be problematic on here by whoever reviewed the report, which I frankly find disturbing if this was all made apparent and understood when the decision was made, and I also saw a message I was not made aware of stating on Surtsicna's talk page that you yourself had not found problems with that person's editing practices and history but actually in mine, and that you were "going to look into it." I would please like to know if the edit details in the editing history of the affected pages in question (which is into the hundreds) was actually looked at, and what you are referring to in regard to my editing practices on here? Also, is there anyone in the website staff here who has a background in history that is noticing any of this and/or is a part of admin, because again, the amount of information that has been removed on a majority of the articles for Kings and Sovereigns recently by this individual is staggering? - JLavigne508 ( talk) 14:50, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Just so you know, the draft is not about Porus: it is about a fictional king who supposedly beat Alexander in the Indus Valley region. Porus lost to Alexander at the Hydapses. I ran a search once again and can confirm that no such king existed, and the draft therefore refers to a hoax. Thanks. Java Hurricane 14:03, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi JBW, would you be able to help me by either deleting Draft:Public image of Donald Trump or moving User:Kolya Butternut/Public image of Donald Trump into its place?

Hi, JBW. I would appreciate your assistance.
JLavigne508 is refusing to accept the consensus reached after a long discussion and believes that his/her dismissing it entitles him/her to go on a revert-spree targeting my edits. The

Hi JBW, Since a lot of time was spent researching, I would like to have the opportunity to go through the article you deleted. Didn't aware it was a promotional article as I am not affiliated with the content or the company. I'm interested in Pattaya's architecture and history and logically I made a page related to the projects, that's all. The first version was rewritten and reviewed by other editors, I assumed this would be fine. I am a new Wikipedian Editor and I can make mistakes so I always ask for review. Please let me review and improve this article, to figure out what went wrong. Regards Meow2021 ( talk) 22:27, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi JBW, Why did you delete Emiway Bantai? I got it reviewed by Administrator @ Discospinster:, who was earlier the Chief Protector of the article title, who accepted it.

I request you to recreate it. –– 𝚅𝚁𝙹 𝙱𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚑𝚞 01:37, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
@ JBW: I am waiting for your reply. Currently the topic of Emiway Bantai is notable, because I consulted with Iflaq before I created the article. I ask you whether the earlier article matches with the present article? If so then I will not ask you to publish the article back and if not then I request you to publish it. –– 𝚅𝚁𝙹 𝙱𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚑𝚞 03:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing the Conflict of Interest citation. What do you recommend as a good solution?

Hi @ JBW, The page that I was working on got deleted for CSD G4. I believe the tag was not valid for the page because, in the previous AFD, the article lacked independent coverages and had low-quality links as references added by the previous editor. These issues were fixed on the new page, and the page had 5-6 significant coverages from reliable sources to pass the notability. I request you to review the deletion of the page.

Hi, JBW. I nominated Draft:Maitland McConnell for speedy deletion, and you've declined it. This draft was created by a proven WP:SOCK of a long-term abuser (see here).

Hi! Not disagreeing with your decline although I think the socking is more clear than you do, but just a little context on this, Twinke doesn't work to put in the sock link as it converts them all to user prefixes, but the SPI is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Adventurous City and oddly you just blocked the latest sock who was the one that tried to mainspace it.

Hello
You deleted my "Ad Hominem Imperitum ". You didn't even wait for a week to have different opinions and a vote. why?
You wrote that the article cites is "a joke article". What do you mean? It is a 60 page academic article, I gave a lecture on this article in the Tel aviv University, and it is very serious.
If you only read the first paragraph- that is cynicism.
What you did is extremely rude and uncalled for. I have worked very hard writing that article. I have come up with a new classification of a logical fallacy. And I wrote a technically sound wikipedia page.
Please undo and open this matter to a vote. -- Schmuel ( talk) 17:05, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
1. The 1st paragraph of the article is ironic. It is even mentioned clearly in the footnote to that paragraph. What is ridiculous is that you refuse to understand this, cherry pick a single paragraph and make a vast generalization about an entire 60 page article. 2-3 :That is your opinion. I would like to hear other opinions, especially considering I spent hours editing that entry. 4: I said I gave a lecture on this article. That does not mean it was accepted in any way. People listened. That does not mean that it has been taken seriously or accepted in academic circles. I am just struggling on my journey in life and in my academic life. You making an [ad hominem] attack about "desperate concern" and "people of a different kind"- shows more about your character than anything else. You know close to 0 about me, yet you delete my work and then try to disparage me publicly. No empathy, no attempt to be civil.
If this is the formal attitude of Wikipedia- I do not want to have anything published here. But since you are one person-
I want to have a discussion about this deletion. -- Schmuel ( talk) 22:24, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Before starting ANI, hoping you can help me with something. User:Baseball Bugs continues to add a random contestant to List of Jeopardy! contestants and also created Matt Amodio and redirected it to the contestants article. User:Mlb96 commented in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 August 1 about my nomination for deletion. MLB = Major League Baseball, similar to the other user's handle. Then, Baseball Bugs re-added a rant to Talk:List of Jeopardy! contestants originally posted by multiple IPs. After the IP edits, the page was protected following addition of empty section headers and dozens of random IPs. Then 96.81.229.189 re-added Amodio to the contestant article with the summary "Revised previously deleted entry to add notability information: ninth all-time highest scoring contestant in regular season play.", not something a random IP user would use as a summary, and someone clearly familiar with Wikipedia. It's also the only edit by the IP user. Another edit made by 173.15.54.113 added Amodio, using Cite Episode, and is the only edit by that IP. Not something likely to be added by a random IP.
Are Baseball Bugs, Mlb96 and/or 96.81.229.189/173.15.54.113 related or possible socks of each other? Looking at the history of the contestants article, are any of those other IPs related to these four? Curious if you have comments before I open an ANI. Thanks. AldezD ( talk) 13:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
AldezD, admin chiming in here. If you believe Baseball_Bugs is socking, file an WP:SPI. Asking different admins to check is not efficient process and if he is socking (not a check user, so I cannot say), the situation will be handled. A conversation here, your talk, the article talk and on RfD is kind of anti-efficient. Star Mississippi 14:31, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
@ Mlb96:, I'll retract my accusation against you. My apologies. It was a suggestion since your username could be inferred as a baseball reference and you similar vote in the redirects for discussion. The other two IPs still could be another user due to the familiarity with referencing/Wikipedia coding, and having only edited adding Amodio to the contestants article. AldezD ( talk) 19:05, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Echoing AldezD's thanks here, JBW, and glad this seems to be resolved without the need for the drama boards on either side of the discussion. I just wanted to clarify that I think the question raised was between Mlb96 and Baseball_Bugs, not AldezD who seems to see a content issue different to the other two editors.
