Hi Ponyo. The situation at Talk:Waqar Zaka, where you recently redacted copyright violations, has not improved. There have been further violations on the talk page, and there appears to be some socking or at least meatpuppetry going on. I'm not sure if any kind of protection is warranted, but the edit requests keep coming, and all of them are (properly) being denied. In the one I denied on June 26, I seem to recall the OP self-identified as being in the employ of the article's subject, but I can't check that because both the request and my reply were suppressed.

Hi there! I'm somewhat new to Wikipedia so I wanted to know what you think about the page Ryan Drummond. When you go to the page, it redirects to Sonic the Hedgehog but he is no longer the voice of the character anymore. Should the article be restored to show that he is the former voice actor or removed? Thanks!

@ SpacemanSpiff: Thanks for blocking the sock. Could you please semi the pages the new account has edited. The sock has a history of block evasion by using different IPs. In last two days those pages have seen many attempts of vandalism by the sock. Thanks again. - - Ind akash ( talk) 02:01, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
@ SpacemanSpiff: Thanks for protecting those pages. Now, they have started to vandalise Maithili language page with 42.110.130.76 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 42.110.128.28 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS). Thanks again. - - Ind akash ( talk) 08:18, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Ponyo and SpacemanSpiff: Now, they have started to vandalise Raj Darbhanga page also, using 42.110.130.76 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS).

Hi P, do you have any non-stale data on Arnav19? I blocked him for widespread incompetence a couple of months back and I suspect that Thilakshan is a reincarnation. Arnav and this new guy were both super-prolific in article creation in the world of Indian television and I'm seeing some of the same mistakes that Arnav19 made being made by Thilakshan. One bit of a difference is that this new guy uses edit summaries, where Arnav didn't. I suspect paid editing here, so maybe that'll help? I also suspected Arnav19 of editing a great deal while logged out, but I can't remember which IP that might've been. Any looking you could do would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Ponyo, The TV contributor (82.40.178.163) you recently blocked for constantly adding unsourced, unreferenced material and refusing to explain on their Talk page - has resurfaced as 86.140.68.51 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) from the same area of Somerset, UK.

Hey, Ponyo, sorry to disturb you for a trivial matter, but I'm curious. Where does your username come from? I always just assumed it was from the Miyazaki film, but recently when looking at that movie's article, I was struck by curiosity about the movie's release date--2008 is fairly late to be the source of an established editor's username, unless one registered their account immediately after seeing it. So I looked at your your user creation date, and I see that it's over a year before the movie was first released. If not there, then where? Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 14:35, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
Hey P, This edit came up right after you blocked Varasari who made this. I'm comfortable blocked as suspected but I think a check for others might be beneficial. Cyphoidbomb, any opinion? cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 14:07, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello again Ponyo, I'm afraid the saga of unsourced IP edits on BBC News (TV channel) and BBC World News continues. This time under 86.167.178.65 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and 81.152.198.79 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The insertions all come from the same area of southern UK and no explanations, or answer(s) to Talk page warnings have been given. As this person appears to be travelling around the area and using different IPs, I wonder if a temporary page protection for the articles would be appropriate? As always, your help is appreciated. David J Johnson ( talk) 09:51, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello. He's now using Special:Contributions/212.108.136.217, another /24 that is used only by him, and fits in with already rangeblocked 212.108.137.0/24 and 212.108.138.0/24 (see this; all three of those Turkish /24-ranges are owned by the same company, Sistem Co. Ltd., and for some reason used only by Shingling334, just like a few /24-blocks owned by the same company in the UK, IPs that I believe are still rangeblocked). - Tom | Thomas.W talk 19:11, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi P, may I please trouble you to look at this discussion? I objected to the content "On July 18, 2017, the director Sanjay Gupta declared that Kaabil may have a Hollywood remake." on the grounds that it's WP:CRYSTAL violating fluff that imparts nothing of value. User reverted, I engaged them in discussion, they've done little to participate, Alex the Whovian reverted them, they reverted again, Whovian reverted again, I am aman goyal reverted yet again. Given that the article has been a sockfarm for Barthateslisa and Ishq Hawa Mein, I'm getting the sense that some pernicious motivation may be going on here, and the user should probably be educated or sanctioned, since they appear to be tone deaf to my explanation of community policy and content guidelines. I'll also note that Goyal and Shimlaites (one of the last Bart socks) seem interested in category and template editing (which is unusual for new users) as well as several intersecting articles. Thanks! Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 16:44, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
See 45 Gamer ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), so maybe a range block or two needs to be renewed... - Tom | Thomas.W talk 23:09, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi P, might I please trouble you to look at Brentford1889 and Ardnashee2014? A user brought these to my attention on my talk page. They both have tons of minor edits, but what's most interesting are the user pages:
If the second account was blocked, then this is highly suggestive of block evasion. Not quite sure where a non-CU would begin to research this one, hence my pestering of you. Thanks and happy weekend, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 16:59, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi, can you please look at this article, Draft:Dua Malik, and get rid of sources that are not reliable please. I would do them but I don't understand how to know if a source is unreliable. I have read the Wikipedia page about it as well. Thanks! Plum3600 ( talk) 19:37, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello Ponyo, trust you are well? Regret to report that the BBC IP 82.38.198.215 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is again inserting unsourced/unreferenced/unexplained edits on BBC News (TV channel) and World News Today from exactly the same location as before.

Based on their edit summary on their last edit to Palmer Report, I'm suspecting a COI. Also, I'm obviously involved, but I believe that page needs protection for the moment. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 20:02, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi there - if I understand the way this works, you retracted my edits to the credits page for the No_One_Ever_Tells_You article. I was the mix engineer on that project and know the personnel well - the corrections I made were correct, and can be verified by just looking at the actual liner notes on the CD/Vinyl releases.
Is there some reason these edits were retracted?

Hi P, any chance you could look into NagendraNJ socks? I see a lot of activity at Dandupalya (film) lately from IPs who seem to be making bizarre content changes including promotional language and random quotes about a nude scene. The IPs intersect with Hi! It's not a robot at Dandupalya and at 2 (film). The robot guy's second edit was to create a user page, which as you know is often suggestive of socking. Most of the IPs seem to be coming from ISP Jio, whereas the Nagendra socks tended to be from Tata, but Dandupalya was mostly edited by Nagendra socks and IPs from Karnataka, so it just seems fishy. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 15:44, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
I'll try to pull something together later today, but in a nutshell it's behavioral: like PerfectlyIrrational, Don1182 has focused on trivial alt-right figures and on ginning up articles on alt-right events which haven't even happened yet ( 2017 Unite The Right Rally), and Don1182's account was created just days after PerfectlyIrrational was blocked by Bbb23 for sockpuppeting, At the moment, he's adding stuff to Richard B. Spencer about him "leading" that rally WHICH HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET. -- Calton | Talk 19:36, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello P. When you have a moment would you please take a look at this. It starts out as a justification for this edit. It ends with an airing of family grievances. I am wondering whether it is some form of a BLP (or bio anyway since the father is no longer alive) violation.

Almost exactly a year ago, you blocked an IP as a long term abuser. That IP had been making edits to P versus NP, among other articles. If you look at the recent history of that article, you will see an edit war involving an IP address making essentially identical edits as the IP one year ago. I don't know if there is a formal reporting mechanism for this, but I thought perhaps you could help. Thanks, JBL ( talk) 01:44, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Where do you get off undoing half of my edits? I didn't know you were the king of Wikipedia. Half those edits are supported by the articles. If it says so and so is Jewish and an American, I think that means there an American. Or maybe you don't think someone can be American and Jewish. Second of all, my edits to H.M. Wynatt and Anson Williams were sourced with interviews from those individuals but maybe you don't trust them. Kingdom has clearly ended and is noted on several articles on Wikipedia so undoing my recent edit to Mac Brandt was unnecessary but maybe you might just be jerk who likes to prove your point. What is the most disrespectful thing you did to my work was you to prove your stupid point undid edits of mine to Yancy Derringer, a page I built up from a mess. Have you even heard of Yancy Derringer much less seen an episode? I have in fact I've seen every episode in fact it's safe to say that I know more about Yancy Derringer than any other editor on Wikipedia. Maybe you think you're like a titan of Wikipedia but you're no better than me. I can handle someone undoing on edit but someone undoing 18 edits just to make a point is pretty petty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Golly58 ( talk • contribs)
I noticed a situation today, which I'm sure you're aware of, of a new editor systematically undoing another users edits. The undoer has now been blocked. Out of curiosity -- is there some way of automating the process of getting all the articles back to their state before the blocked user got them? If there isn't, I'd be happy to pitch in and manual revert a bunch of them, but before I dive in I figure I'd check and make sure I'm not doing unnecessary work. Anyhow, sorry to see you up against that kind of editing. Alephb ( talk) 02:48, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
After you reverted Arygeoa1's edits to Neelam Muneer and Mira Sethi, an IP, 39.60.129.245 has been making very similar, if not identical edits to the edits you reverted.

Hi P, there's been a campaign to push links to Alisha Panwar across numerous articles. It's clearly a marketing blitz. There's a draft article at Draft:Alisha Panwar, and the socks keep appearing to create redirects to this draft article from mainspace like at Alisha Panwar and Alisha. Curious about your opinion: If I deleted that draft article, would that be justifiable? Given the flurry of socking, it's unambiguous promotion from my perspective. On the other hand, the subject could potentially be notable. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 18:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi P, curious what your thoughts are on this. A child editor has submitted two articles on self-published (Wattpad) books.
Definitely not notable, but I'm not convinced it's a hoax. Do the articles get speedied? If so, what criteria? G13 for advertising? A11 for being obviously made-up? (That doesn't sound right to me...) I don't Should I just AfD these? Seems like there's no way in hell these are going to survive. Your input is appreciated!

Excuse me but it did slip my mind. The last time you warned me was in May, five months ago, so yes it did slip my mind. It's not chronically at the front like it seems to be for you. And to be honest I don't feel very comfortable being watched over like this or with the automatic assumption there was malice to my reversion. I've reverted the edit and will wait for the conclusion of it. Rusted AutoParts 23:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Ponyo. I just wanted to let you know that 96.236.215.30, whom you blocked on Sept. 14 for persistent WP:BLP vios, has just returned to make the exact same vios.

Hi Ponyo. The situation at Talk:Waqar Zaka, where you recently redacted copyright violations, has not improved. There have been further violations on the talk page, and there appears to be some socking or at least meatpuppetry going on. I'm not sure if any kind of protection is warranted, but the edit requests keep coming, and all of them are (properly) being denied. In the one I denied on June 26, I seem to recall the OP self-identified as being in the employ of the article's subject, but I can't check that because both the request and my reply were suppressed.

Hi P, do you have any non-stale data on Arnav19? I blocked him for widespread incompetence a couple of months back and I suspect that Thilakshan is a reincarnation. Arnav and this new guy were both super-prolific in article creation in the world of Indian television and I'm seeing some of the same mistakes that Arnav19 made being made by Thilakshan. One bit of a difference is that this new guy uses edit summaries, where Arnav didn't. I suspect paid editing here, so maybe that'll help? I also suspected Arnav19 of editing a great deal while logged out, but I can't remember which IP that might've been. Any looking you could do would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey, Ponyo, sorry to disturb you for a trivial matter, but I'm curious. Where does your username come from? I always just assumed it was from the Miyazaki film, but recently when looking at that movie's article, I was struck by curiosity about the movie's release date--2008 is fairly late to be the source of an established editor's username, unless one registered their account immediately after seeing it.

Hi P, may I please trouble you to look at this discussion? I objected to the content "On July 18, 2017, the director Sanjay Gupta declared that Kaabil may have a Hollywood remake." on the grounds that it's WP:CRYSTAL violating fluff that imparts nothing of value. User reverted, I engaged them in discussion, they've done little to participate, Alex the Whovian reverted them, they reverted again, Whovian reverted again, I am aman goyal reverted yet again. Given that the article has been a sockfarm for Barthateslisa and Ishq Hawa Mein, I'm getting the sense that some pernicious motivation may be going on here, and the user should probably be educated or sanctioned, since they appear to be tone deaf to my explanation of community policy and content guidelines. I'll also note that Goyal and Shimlaites (one of the last Bart socks) seem interested in category and template editing (which is unusual for new users) as well as several intersecting articles.

Hi P, any chance you could look into NagendraNJ socks? I see a lot of activity at Dandupalya (film) lately from IPs who seem to be making bizarre content changes including promotional language and random quotes about a nude scene. The IPs intersect with Hi! It's not a robot at Dandupalya and at 2 (film). The robot guy's second edit was to create a user page, which as you know is often suggestive of socking. Most of the IPs seem to be coming from ISP Jio, whereas the Nagendra socks tended to be from Tata, but Dandupalya was mostly edited by Nagendra socks and IPs from Karnataka, so it just seems fishy.

Hi Ponyo, this article was created recently. I noticed that you redirected the article with similar content Sonalika Pradhan to Vishwajeet Pradhan in June. Please look into this, if this article stays at Wikipedia then the history merge should be applied. All the best for you vacation. :) Hitro talk 08:40, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2017).
Hello Ponyo, Trust you have enjoyed your break? Unfortunately, our NI problem IP 81.104.74.28 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has re-surfaced following the recent block with the usual "contributions". As usual, can I leave this with you please? Regards, David, David J Johnson ( talk) 13:48, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
According to the edit summaries you left last month, anyways: Bigg Boss 5. Thanks, Crow Caw 22:33, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Hey P, I just blocked Stategdp as a suspected sock, can you check and do a sweep when you're back tomorrow? cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 12:08, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
Where do you get off undoing half of my edits? I didn't know you were the king of Wikipedia. Half those edits are supported by the articles. If it says so and so is Jewish and an American, I think that means there an American. Or maybe you don't think someone can be American and Jewish. Second of all, my edits to H.M. Wynatt and Anson Williams were sourced with interviews from those individuals but maybe you don't trust them. Kingdom has clearly ended and is noted on several articles on Wikipedia so undoing my recent edit to Mac Brandt was unnecessary but maybe you might just be jerk who likes to prove your point. What is the most disrespectful thing you did to my work was you to prove your stupid point undid edits of mine to Yancy Derringer, a page I built up from a mess. Have you even heard of Yancy Derringer much less seen an episode? I have in fact I've seen every episode in fact it's safe to say that I know more about Yancy Derringer than any other editor on Wikipedia. Maybe you think you're like a titan of Wikipedia but you're no better than me. I can handle someone undoing on edit but someone undoing 18 edits just to make a point is pretty petty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Golly58 ( talk • contribs)
I noticed a situation today, which I'm sure you're aware of, of a new editor systematically undoing another users edits. The undoer has now been blocked. Out of curiosity -- is there some way of automating the process of getting all the articles back to their state before the blocked user got them? If there isn't, I'd be happy to pitch in and manual revert a bunch of them, but before I dive in I figure I'd check and make sure I'm not doing unnecessary work. Anyhow, sorry to see you up against that kind of editing. Alephb ( talk) 02:48, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
After you reverted Arygeoa1's edits to Neelam Muneer and Mira Sethi, an IP, 39.60.129.245 has been making very similar, if not identical edits to the edits you reverted. While this is not in itself evidence of a sock, I thought I would let you know anyways in case it helps. Morphdog what did I do now? 12:49, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi P, there's been a campaign to push links to Alisha Panwar across numerous articles. It's clearly a marketing blitz. There's a draft article at Draft:Alisha Panwar, and the socks keep appearing to create redirects to this draft article from mainspace like at Alisha Panwar and Alisha. Curious about your opinion: If I deleted that draft article, would that be justifiable? Given the flurry of socking, it's unambiguous promotion from my perspective. On the other hand, the subject could potentially be notable. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 18:04, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
Another one of his regular rants now on how standard offer isn't good enough for him and stuff. I'm guessing there's more around. Want to take a look? cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 23:32, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
Repeatedly I am editing these pages from IP vandalism -
But certain IP addresses are again putting that incorrect things(Unsourced additions, adding time slots, good faith edits etc.) and now they are attacking me with messages to the effect that i should not try to change things. I strongly feel these pages need protection from such unwanted edits. Please look into the matter, Thanks : Sidaq pratap/ talk 05:32, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi! Two users removed the copyvio template and restored copyvio at Rafi Khawar; I see that you checkuser-blocked one of them, so wondered if the other might be more of the same? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 13:59, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
Hey P, I think this one is related to Scholarscentral who I blocked earlier, part of the OMICS farm, though it could also be Virajmishra. The account name is quite offensive to my mom, but she doesn't edit here! Could you check on this please? cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 08:44, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Started again 15 September 2017, I have added to last message to you on this subject. Regards, David, David J Johnson ( talk) 11:32, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Seeing this here: [5], I have a big concern with their ability to be a productive editor. They have had 2 indefinite blocks lifted in the space of less that a year for disruption and WP:NOTHERE. My concern is that is obviously a young editor, and I don't think they have the maturity to handle editing here yet. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 20:12, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
but is that IP who I think it is? -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 20:22, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

If you don't mind, would you take a look over at User talk:Joaquinabubakar and see if you can figure out what's going on. Claims to have been blocked by Katie, but nothing in the block log. I suspect he might be caught up in a range block of hard IP block. I pinged her but she's been offline for a few days. TonyBallioni ( talk) 14:21, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi P, curious what your thoughts are on this. A child editor has submitted two articles on self-published (Wattpad) books.
Definitely not notable, but I'm not convinced it's a hoax. Do the articles get speedied? If so, what criteria? G13 for advertising? A11 for being obviously made-up? (That doesn't sound right to me...) I don't Should I just AfD these? Seems like there's no way in hell these are going to survive. Your input is appreciated! Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 11:33, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
Someone needs to upload a new and better of Jauregui, I'm asking for other users to do so and even debate about whether they want to keep the image in place or not. Please make comments in the Reverting edits warning discussion in Lauren Jauregui's talk page. We're trying to figure out what image to upload. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 00:01, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm liking the image File:Lauren Jauregui performing.jpg anyone in favor? I recommend we use this image in replace. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 00:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Also stop reporting me its unnecessary I resolved my conflicts and handled it appropriately. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 01:35, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
If you are able, I was wondering if you can solve a problem. A new editor friend has forgotten her password, and also failed to sign up with an email address, so she can't get in at all. Are you able to put her email address in her profile so she can get back in herself to deal with the password? Oddjob84 ( talk) 00:06, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Excuse me but it did slip my mind. The last time you warned me was in May, five months ago, so yes it did slip my mind. It's not chronically at the front like it seems to be for you. And to be honest I don't feel very comfortable being watched over like this or with the automatic assumption there was malice to my reversion. I've reverted the edit and will wait for the conclusion of it. Rusted AutoParts 23:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Ponyo. I just wanted to let you know that 96.236.215.30, whom you blocked on Sept. 14 for persistent WP:BLP vios, has just returned to make the exact same vios. I could go on the Noticeboard, and thought it would be more efficient to come to you directly as the admin already familiar with this case. Thank you for any help. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 17:21, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi P, do these people look familiar to you? 45.46.200.174 and 72.225.6.147 They've introduced weird content about logos and "scare factors" like here and here, and other irritants like this and this. I'm not personally familiar with this, but it looks like it's been going on for a couple of months sporadically. ?? Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 23:44, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ponyo, Please see my latest on the block evading IP on the BBC programmes above. David J Johnson ( talk) 20:31, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Good day! I have been trying to close the simplest discussions at WP:AFD in order to get things at WP:ANRFC closed much quicker. There are no simple discussions at WP:ANRFC that I can close by myself. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 18:35, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
I didn't see you had reverted a similar post a few minutes before when I posted this. Feel free to revert it. I just wanted to try to get some eyes on the move reviews since they are seriously overdue, and ANRFC doesn't seem to have had much impact. TonyBallioni ( talk) 18:46, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello there, I'm Jon. I noticed you were in Category:Wikipedians in British Columbia. I was wondering if you were willing to help me out a bit with a draft I'm working on. Currently, I'm having a bit of an issue finding a quality photo of a storefront of a BC Liquor Store with a free license to use on Wikipedia. If it isn't too much to ask - would you mind uploading a photo of one? Thank you! Jon Kolbert ( talk) 21:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
