Hey Serge. The editor LaFuerzaReina registered late last month and has already received a block for adding unsourced content. They have created articles for three barely notable songs by Ally Brooke, and edit warred on Ally Brooke discography, after which they were blocked. They have created several unsourced hoaxes, including that Ariana Grande will feature on a remix of one of Brooke's songs, "Tequila", and now two hoax drafts in the space of a few hours: Draft:Pa Mis Muchachas (album) and Draft:Strip Love, neither of which have sources confirming the album's titles. This editor is getting to be a significant problem and I'm not sure they're here for the right reasons. The unsourced content they've added is already way too numerous for me to monitor, and it has recurred even after their block, as they have reinserted the unsourced mentions after I removed them: [1], [2], [3]. @ AshMusique: has already had a couple of problems with this editor as well.

Hey Serge. I reverted another editor on Panic! at the Disco discography, and the editor Rafinha 19 reverted me without a reason (also disregarding BRD), and then wrote a little screed on their user page about how they're "here to defeat user Ss112 and his edites" (sic) because "he thinks he owns wikipdia" (sic). Would you be able to remove this and tell Rafinha 19 this isn't okay, and to not revert users without a reason? I haven't had any interaction with this editor (nor they with me, to the best of my knowledge) in something like two years, when I warned them for last adding unsourced information to another discography. Don't know what their deal is or where this came from, but I get the feeling they're not going to listen to my warning about not reverting editors without a reason or any request from me to take it off their user page.

As a fellow administrator who has had prior dealings with User:SirZPthundergod9001, I was wondering if you could review a question posted on my UserTalk page by User:40.133.234.46 regarding "spurious redirects" supposedly created by User:SirZPthundergod9001. User:40.133.234.46 has expressed a concern about addressing this question directly with User:SirZPthundergod9001, and I have reviewed their recent edit histories and I have not seen any obvious evidence of spurious redirects, but I would like a second opinion before I dismiss the question.-- TommyBoy ( talk) 03:41, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I totally respect and understand the fact that you have been an admin on Wikipedia for this long and is most likely why my edits have been reverted so quickly (since I just joined). I will no longer be editing on Wikipedia since I just wanted to test out some minor edits. I really just came to see why my edits were reverted since most of the other games in the series say which number they are in the series, so I didn't think it would be a huge deal. I'll totally understand what you have to say since it's not really a big deal at all, I'm just curious. Have a good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarioKartWiiFanatic ( talk • contribs) 21:20, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
Okay, I understand, thank you MarioKartWiiFanatic ( talk) 00:19, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
So, where do we stand on articles for video game characters anyway? Looking at the recent discussions for Amy Rose and Coco Bandicoot, you and others mentioned they don't measure up to the current standards of editors in the project generally expect or something along those lines.
I know video game character articles have been a subject of debate since the mass merges in 2008-2009. But I don't remember it being this bad until the last couple years or so. To be blunt, I really don't like how character articles are treated now. MoonJet ( talk) 22:18, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Hey Serge. Yesterday I spent two hours yesterday going through a Chilean IP editor's edits over the last few months to mostly British artists' discographies. Their justifications are often nonsensical, like "France is not a Germanic country"(??), "Scotland is not a country" (which is simply incorrect) and just having entirely unrelated reasons for removing content, like removing songs in a section on an article about UK Singles Chart statistics that clearly says "spent 70 weeks in the top 100" that "the songs did not spend 100 weeks in the top 100". Either way, the edits are disruptive (as they're often repeated after they're reverted) and often break formatting. They quite often (as with today on Shakira discography) are replacing sourced charts with unsourced ones and removing chart positions lower than 100 for no reason (and despite the fact chart peaks to 200 places are considered valid). I'm not sure if the approach here is to block the ranges or protect the 15 or so discographies that are their regular targets, but the three ranges they've edited within (and the edits on them are almost exclusively this disruptive Chilean editor) are:
Today alone they've jumped from the 181 range to the 191.125 range. They've hit up over 30 discographies, but their main targets that might benefit from being protected are (sorted in rough order from recent disruption): The Specials discography, Shakira discography, Five discography, Westlife discography, Morrissey discography, The Smiths discography, Wham! discography, George Michael discography, U2 discography, Queen discography, Freddie Mercury discography, Erasure discography, The Beatles discography, Meat Loaf discography, KSI discography and Melanie C discography. The thing I'm concerned about is that if those are protected, then they'll just move on to other discographies. Ss 112 00:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi Serge. The editor whose disruption over the case of the letter "t" that I asked you to protect Un Verano Sin Ti for is back, now with personal attacks in Spanish. Probably merits a block + perhaps page protection just for this edit summary alone, right? [4] They also dropped some unhinged rants on 2022 Buffalo shooting the other day, where they claim they're going to tell Twitter about Wikipedia (lol). This editor very clearly has some issues they need to resolve offline. They're causing disruption right now on Un Verano Sin Ti and The Marías. Ss 112 06:09, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Listen man, I know you don't like the fact that I was a bit irresponsible on this website. But you see, that's not always been the case and like I said, all Wikipedia pages get edited one day or another. Anyways, besides that enormously long argument we had on my talk page, I promise to continue doing good edits and not being so disruptive and not adding any personal comments such as "Woahness" ;) As for the file uploading scenario, the only time I'm going to use it is mostly for the WWE Pay-per views or new movies I care about. So what do you say, you give me what I want, and I'll give you what you want. Let's put the past behind us. ChallengeCick ( talk) 07:03, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi. You blocked a user. Can you not make it edit its own talk page because it keeps on reverting mine? [User:Train and unicorn fan| Train and unicorn fan🦄🚆]] talk 11:37, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
It is no longer an issue, because the AfD has been closed, but your edit note here does not seem to take account of what the tag said. It drew the reader's attention to the fact that this was a proposed target for a merger, and directed them to the place where the discussion that included that proposal was happening. I can understand that you were unfamiliar with the tag, but that does not mean it should be removed without understanding it. If it is right that a proposed merger target be informed (per WP:Merge), it is always right. See discussion at WT:Deletion Policy. Kevin McE ( talk) 14:03, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello sir, I have created an article that has lasted up to a week , please help me to review it So it can be indexed on google, here is the article Imani Lewis Kenpmi ( talk) 13:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Serge,
I just tried to correct a mistake (which I suspect is also biased) and was told it was reverted because it was "not constructive." Here is the message I received:
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Mass shooting, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.
If you read the definition of mass shootings, which excludes terrorist attacks, toward the top of the article and look at the Israel section you'll see the inconsistency that I tried to correct. Could you take a look?
Thanks,

Hi there, Serge. So, I was editing on to music articles and i have tried my best to read all the default Templates provided by Wikipedia for how to edit such articles. But i'm having a few doubts and i saw you too have done well a noticeable amount of edits on music articles, my doubt is: Is it alright, if i use commas to separate Artist names in writing fields like done in Template:Track listing, doing so will also reduce a lot of extra load of space on the articles. paperpseudonym (talk) 14:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Sergecross73. I see you’re part of the Video Games WikiProject, and was hoping you could help me with some proposed edits to improve the Playrix article. I have a conflict of interest, so I can't update the article myself. Would you be willing to take a look? It’s posted here Talk:Playrix#Playrix_Requested_Edits_June_2022. Thanks for your help.
