I recently closed an RfC on Yasuke and feel like the situation at Talk: Yasuke is deteoriating once again as more WP:SPA's are arriving to argue about the subject. There is a not insignificant amount of WP:SOAPBOXING occurring as well as some vaguely nationalist rhetoric where editors are proclaiming that Wikipedia is being governed by black supremacy and DEI as well as considerable activity taking place offsite on a Wikitionary Talk Page where aspersions are being cast on other editors involved in the dispute such as outright accusing others editors of lying and conspiring at fabricating historical truth as well as what appears to be attempts to Status Quo Stonewall as noted here where they begin discussing how to circumvent the RfC consensus before the RfC was even closed when they saw that the votes weren't going in their favor as well as WP:Tagteaming seen here. Because of all of these many preceived issues, I think some admin attention is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrhns ( talk • contribs) 18:49, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
This format encourages respondents to "vote" without engaging in a discussion, sharing alternatives, or developing compromises
Separate votes from discussion If you expect a lot of responses, consider creating a subsection, after your signature, called (for example) "Survey," where people can support or oppose, and a second sub-section called (for example) "Threaded discussion," where people can discuss the issues in depth. You can ask people not to add threaded replies to the survey section, but you can't require people to follow your advice. Editors are permitted to freely refuse your request.
This format encourages respondents to "vote" without engaging in a discussion, sharing alternatives, or developing compromises. It is most suitable for questions with clear yes/no or support/oppose answers, such as "Shall we adopt this policy?". Avoid this style for questions with multiple possible answers, such as "What kinds of images would be suitable for this article?" or "What should the first sentence say?" This style is used for RfCs that attract a lot of responses, but is probably overkill for most RfCs.

Welcome to Nihon University College of Law. Congratulations on your entry. My classes are content-based English classes with a focus on the international history and culture of Japan, containing themes and stories of people from history to help you improve your English and learn content at the same time. I also hold a zeminar [sic] class in the final two undergraduate years. I hope you will have a stimulating and informative four years in our College.
Thomas Lockley lectures in international communication at Kanda University of International Studies in Chiba Japan. He has worked in Japanese education for five years and also taught French, German and Japanese for four years in UK secondary and primary schools. His research and teaching interests include secondary education, motivation and self-perception.
I am fluent in Japanese and I've repeatedly referenced 新辞林's definition of 侍 (帯刀し,武芸をもって主君に仕えた者。武士。 ) to support the conclusions that matter experts and reliable sources have drawn in regards to Yasuke being a samurai.
Source text of item 1: 武芸をもって貴族や武家に仕えた者の称。平安中期ごろから宮中や院を警固する者をいうようになり、鎌倉・室町時代には(庶民)と区別される上級武士をさした。江戸時代になって幕府の旗本、諸藩の中小姓以上の称となり、また、士農工商のうちの士身分をいう通称ともなった。武士。
Machine translated (@ Eirikr can provide a more accurate translation): A name for a person who served a noble or samurai family with martial arts. From around the mid-Heian period, it came to refer to those who guarded the imperial court and temples, and in the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, it referred to high-ranking bushi who were distinguished from the Bonge (commoners). In the Edo period, it became the hatamoto of the shogunate, a name for the middle and higher page names of various domains, and also became a common name for the samurai class among the samurai, agriculture, industry, and commerce. Bushi.

Machine translated: A person who serves a samurai family. child of the house. Bushi. Samurai.

Lockley is reliable because it is his field of expertise, and because his works have been peer-reviewed by other historians and subject matter experts who support the claims in them. I've explained this multiple times (and am indeed happy to do so anytime), however you should be aware that your refusal to drop the stock is not indicative of you being "ignored" by anyone.
Rather, it is indictive of a disruptive editing pattern on your behalf that you've been repeatedly been warned about, where you beat a dead horse and refuse to drop the stick on topics where there is already a clear consensus. I think the next step for you is a topic ban.
[Bludgeoning] is where someone attempts to force their point of view through a very high number of comments, such as contradicting every viewpoint that is different from their own. Typically, this means making the same argument over and over and to different people in the same discussion or across related discussions. [...] This behavior and conduct is undesirable, considered a form of disruptive editing, and is usually seen and reported as such when observed by other editors who are involved in the same discussion.
re Eirikr's the other editor refusing to engage in my attempts at conversing with them on Talk:Yasuke about the quality of the tertiary and quaternary sources they reference. Eirikr made 88 edits to Talk: Yasuke adding 115 kB of text and Hexenakte made 111 edits adding 188 kB. They argued that Britannica, Smithsonians Magazine, BBC, TIME, CNN, France Info, Lockley's book and Lopez-Vera's book are not WP:RS because of their content: these sources directly claim that Yasuke was a samurai, which is incompatible with Hexenakte's and Eirikr's original research. There is not one single reliable source denying that Yasuke was a samurai, apart from the 300 kB of ruminations Eirikr and Hexenakte have posted on that talk page. This runs contrary to core policies and is disruptive as WP:BLUDGEON. Eirikr is not entitled to have me or others "engaged in their attempts at conversing" - they should have dropped the stick weeks ago. I don't know if there's an issue of bad faith or competence but I'm sure it's disruptive and should stop.
I see the usual suspects from the talk page are bringing their walls of text over here as well. I will keep things short and to the point (as best as one can with this subject matter). Per the RfC that was closed, there are numerous sources, including a number of academic ones I've previously presented over there, that discuss the subject's history and how he was given the title of samurai. There are no reliable sources that argue otherwise. Meanwhile, you've got editors like Hexenakte and Eirikr that have made massive threads all across the talk page trying to put in their own WP:OR interpretation of said sources, claiming that the sources aren't reliable because they translated the Japanese wrong or didn't show the primary sources they were using, ect. I've tried to explain to them time and again that editors aren't allowed to be sources and claim their interpretation is the factual one, especially if they don't even have a single reliable source backing their claims. My statements in that regard have fallen on deaf ears time and time again with both of said editors (and they are likely to reply to my comment here with yet another wall of text arguing the same points again).

Symphony Regalia ( talk) 22:13, 19 July 2024 (UTC)When blatantly false information about a country’s history is unjustly propagated as truth overseas, then you are going to have people who are upset and wish to bring attention to the inconsistencies and lies being spread around. In fact, this topic has been trending in Japan lately and is garnering serious scrutiny and backlash due to historical revisionism by Wikipedia (trending on X which is the main outlet for popular Japanese discourse).
This page is for urgent incidents or chronic, intractable behavioral problems.(emphasis mine)
andFor complex content-related issues between two or more editors, you may bring your dispute to the informal dispute resolution noticeboard. This is a good place to bring your dispute if you don't know what the next step should be
.For simple content-related issues where concise proposals have been made on the talk page, you may bring your dispute to the informal requests for comment to have the broader community look at the dispute and make suggestions.
they may be subject to more scrutiny in the early stages of their editing as other editors attempt to assess how well they adhere to Wikipedia standards.Closing discussions is allowed, but per WP:NAC they're generally left for administrators or experienced editors, especially the discussions that are likely to be controversial. Getting involved with Wikipedia and learning our policies is a great thing and I hope you continue. The Wordsmith Talk to me 22:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
DarmaniLink, who complains that Symphony Regalia is casting aspersions by mentioning the "anti-woke", "anti-dei", right-wing assault on the Yasuke article, began their first comment on the Yasuke talk page with
Descendent of an (actual) samurai of the saeki clan, with a preserved 15th century land grant document in my family's possession here. Another editor complained aboutblack supremacy and DEI propaganda. Personally I don't care about their motives, whether they are right-wing nationalists or passionate amateur historians and samurai enthusiasts - I'm not interested in their agenda, but I'm interested in their sources. Unfortunately those opposing Yasuke's status as a samurai have not provided sources contradicting Encyclopaedia Britannica, Smithsonian Magazine, TIME, BBC, or the research of Lockley and Lopez-Vera.
the other editor refusing to engage in my attempts at conversing with them on Talk:Yasuke about the quality of the tertiary and quaternary sources they reference.

When that editor then edits the Yasuke article to add a detail ("as a samurai") with citations, and those citations do not say anything about that detail. Again, I don’t know if that's bad faith or lack of competence but this edit of mine replaces "retainer" with "samurai", which is directly supported by all cited sources, and modifies one sentence,
As a samurai, he was granted a servant, a house and stipend, which is supported by the quoted source, CNN, stating "Today, Yasuke’s legacy as the world’s first African samurai is well known in Japan (...) Nobunaga soon made him a samurai – even providing him with his own servant, house and stipend, according to Jesuit records".
Nobunaga was impressed by him and asked Valignano to give him over.<ref name="JapanForum" /> He gave him the Japanese name ''Yasuke'',{{efn|The origin of his name is unknown.}} made him an attendant at his side and enlisted Yasuke into his army as a samurai.<ref name="ExcludedPresence" /><ref name="Hitotsubashi">{{Cite journal |last=Wright |first=David |date=1998 |title=The Use of Race and Racial Perceptions Among Asians and Blacks: The Case of the Japanese and African Americans |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/43294433 |url-status=live |journal=Hitotsubashi Journal of Social Studies |volume=30 |issue=2 |pages=135–152 |issn=0073-280X |jstor=43294433 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313173327/https://www.jstor.org/stable/43294433 |archive-date=13 March 2023 |access-date=19 May 2024 |quote=In 1581, a Jesuit priest in the city of Kyoto had among his entourage an African}}</ref>
It is identical to the code of my second edit (restoring the first one after the RfC). As you can see, there is a full stop between "...into his army" and "As a samurai". "As a samurai" has a capital "A". The sentance I added is supported by the quoted source CNN.

I believe the best way to handle this situation is call on the man himself, whether it be through Wikipedia or through the Japanese National Diet, or any other official manner really, to explain the decisions he made, because this is extremely dishonest.(emphasis added).
While strongly discouraged, it isn't forbidden, especially not when properly disclosed, which @Tottoritom did in their third edit. The only definitive COI editing was in the deletion discussion, where they again disclosed their COI. Their edits to the Yasuke page were WP:SELFCITE, which is allowed (within reason) [...] the only edit that Tottoritom made was the addition of their book to the pop culture section of the article in January 2019. They have not edited since then.
Citations should be in the third person and should not place undue emphasis on your work. (Emphasis mine)
The first full length book about Yasuke in English, written by Thomas Lockley and Geoffrey Girard, called "African Samurai: The True Story of Yasuke, a Legendary Black Warrior in Feudal Japan," will be published in May 2018. (Emphasis mine)
In a very long comment over on RSN you said ["]I believe the best way to handle this situation [']is call on the man himself, whether it be through Wikipedia['] or through the Japanese National Diet, or any other official manner really, to explain the decisions he made, because this is extremely dishonest.["] (emphasis added).
I hope this doesn't come across as accusatory or aggressive, but what are you hoping to make happen here? Are you looking for any actions to be taken on Wikipedia, or was this WP:FORUM posting?
gaslightis, to my knowledge, pretty much always considered a WP:PA and a failure to WP:AGF.
[Here] on the same wiktionary as the last report it can clearly be seen that @Hexenakte and @Eirikr were attempting to quote farm a definition of Samurai to suit their purpose, and then when presented evidence by another user showing an entire list of sources the two thought could support their view were instead stating the definition they are trying to disprove - the focus was merely shifted to whether they could still cite an offhanded quote by a scholar which could be read as supporting their preferred definition over an entire laundry list of published works of that same author reinforcing the definition on Samurai.
If you don't have sources available to support your position, then whatever you are arguing is OR and irrelevant for the purposes of Wikipedia relative to the rest of the sources. Continuously posting new OR does not help, it just textwalls discussions on how Wikipedia should handle the sources that are being used or under review in an increasingly unreadable text log of OR that - whether it pans out correct or not - has no merit by Wikipedia standards until these have sources cited alongside them. Whats wrong with your approach is that you're failing to honestly engage the body of literature by dismissing the status quo as wrong without sources ready to demonstrate this.
At times, sources provide conflicting facts and opinions. Comparing and contrasting these conflicts is not generally classed as original research (as the nature of the conflict can be referenced to sources meeting WP:VERIFY), but synthesis or unsupported conclusions based on those conflicts must not appear in an article. These source conflicts fall into two broad categories: factual and summation.
A factual conflict arises when reliable sources present facts that appear to contradict each other. As an example, one source may claim a town had a population of 5,000 in 1990, whereas another claims a population of 7,000 in the same year.
A talk page is the right place to claim that something in an article is SYNTH. The policy does not forbid inferences on talk pages that would be SYNTH if made in an article.

SPA on the Yasuke talk page (with an incursion into the article on former video game executive Mark Kern) who's been bludgeoning to the point of disruption. Recently they repeatedly pushed the view/taunt that Yasuke was actually a slave without providing RSes and/or misrepresenting the sources. Even if Yasuke was a slave of the Portuguese jesuits, that's irrelevant because the contentious point is his status when he was at Nobunaga's service, so all this is pointless waste of time that comes across as deliberate provocation. E.g. slave and/or something else than a samurai, the National Diet Library (NDL) of Japan, who is calling these black people in Japan, like Yasuke, servants and slaves, just one of hundreds of other non-samurai warriors, gunners, entertainers, servants in Japan, Mitsuhide killed captured samurai, but he didn't killed Yasuke and called him an animal and not Japanese, Leupp, who clearly calls Yasuke a slave, is surely not a reliable source, except that we use Leupp already (pointless sarcasm, irrelevant), Yasuke was such a slave-servant already, it was standard praxis in India and Japan for Portuguese to have black slave-servants ... But surely Yasuke is the sole exception without any source proving this unique anomaly in thousands of similar African slaves. This is either WP:CIR or WP:BATTLE, but either way it doesn't help. Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 17:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
IN this news-article Lockney himself calls Yasuke a slave". What I see when I search for the word "slave" in that article is "
Some have said that Yasuke was a slave, and Lockley acknowledges the theory but disagrees. “Personally I don’t think he was a slave in any sense of the word, I think he was a free actor,” Lockley said.Given that blatant misrepresentation of the source, I'm not interested in spending time looking at any of your other claims.

i am a young contributor to Wikipediaand
i am not so perfectly adept to the rules in Wikipedia, and yet in 2017 they were indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry on de.wiki [44]. I doubt they are a new user, WP:BITE doesn't apply - also digging out Symphony Regalia's Tban from GENSEX (which is irrelevant here) while pretending not to know hot to post a link on a talk page is not the behaviour of a newcomer.
so i presume
the translation as a African priest seem to be a mistranslation by the English translation ... the original calls him ... 黒坊主 and this would mean a black monk, monks can't become samurai, they had Sōhei, so i presume, that the original meaning is a young black manis entirely individual analysis by ErikWar. This is precisely the kind of thing that is prohibited from being put into Wikipedia articles by WP:OR.
The behavior of the user @ Symphony Regalia in this talk page as well as Talk:Yasuke and Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Reliability_of_Thomas_Lockley has proven to be disruptive with no intention of providing good faith discussion about the issues with the Yasuke article or the reliability discussion on Lockley. Throughout all three talk pages, he has consistently accused others of being disruptive without providing diff links or any citations for his claims, as well as trying to dismiss all opposition by establishing himself as an ambiguous authority of him "being Japanese and fluent in the Japanese language" without ever providing any explanation as to why said translations are accurate or inaccurate, or any reputable dictionary such as Kotobank, or even speaking in Japanese himself - Except for this sole post, as he was threatened with a topic ban if he didn't explain his case. [45] When pressed with questions of where he got his information from, or what citations he has, he completely ignores it, [46] or more recently he starts gaslighting that he has always done it. [47] When I confronted him again over this - as well as him sending a very high volume of comments in a short amount of time - he ignores it. [48] This post here also demonstrates Regalia's past controversies, where he has a history of disruptive editing and dishonest methods on Wikipedia. Me and several other editors have given Regalia multiple chances to explain himself and give him the benefit of the doubt on the validity of his arguments, however in the light of the mentioned issues, it is best that Regalia receives a topic ban from this discussion page as well as the other 2 aforementioned pages, as it is clear he has zero interest in providing good faith discussion.

I don’t think people will be interested in the 24 diffs you posted above (most of which were months ago, back in 2023).
Perhaps I shouldn’t have tried to make peace with you. I’m too forgetful, and forget how good you are at misleading people with unrelated diffs, links and sources. Maybe you would like to post all the diffs at one time, like this.
It seems to me that your main purpose is not trying to improve the article. Rather, you are using aged or tangentially-related diffs in the hope that you can get rid of another editor by sheer weight of numbers, especially where said diffs have been raised at previous ANIs that ended without the desired ban. I won’t comment on the issue of the former admin you mentioned, as I know nothing about that. However, I don’t think ANI is only moderated by one admin. Again, digging up old non-issue issues is a waste of community’s time and is exhausting other editors. Not to mention the untrue claims / potential WP:PA that are made. I don’t think I’ll take the bait this time. You can go on with your diffs.
If I was wrong and that word does mean attack and shouldn’t be used, I’ll retract that, with apologies. As for “moving to another area of the encyclopaedia”, do you mean I should quit editing an article of my choice, and which I’m the main contributor of, just because I have been trying hard to protect the page from misinformation (which results in untrue claims / PA / case against me)? It shouldn’t be how things work ...”Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassmentthat consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",[5] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.[6] The term originated with a 2014 strip ...”

Please try to remember, not just to avoid kerfuffles like this, but for the sake of enhancing the potential viability of your own arguments, that this kind of implication of active shilling/protectionism for what you perceive to be the cultural leanings and biases of other editors is not in any way helpful.All of that said, the worst JDiala has said in this regard is, at least to this point, still comes in a bit under the threshold that would require community oversight and response, let alone sanction. Collectively, every comment brought to bear against JDiala in this thread so far does not really amount to the equivalent of even one proper WP:PA. Do their comments walk right up to the line of the wrong side of AGF with regarding to the outlooks and biases of their opposition, and even take a solid step over? Yeah, they more or less do. But on the whole, what is being reported here is pretty typical, low-level implication of lack of perspective that one is bound to see here and there in these circumstances. As I said before, not a winning formula for JDiala, and the quicker they realizes that, the better--because not only are they hurting their own efforts, but eventually sticking to and doubling down on such comments will pass a point of proper violation of expected behavioural standards. But at the moment, there is nothing I would classify as outright WP:disruption--though arguably they are treading near tendentiousness or even WP:battleground behaviour. In short, go carefully, JDiala. SnowRise let's rap 03:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

For the past year or so, there has been an IP removing sections from articles with the summary "No citations." or "Fixed." (see Special:Contributions/64.189.18.0/24) Despite being warned multiple times on their talk page, such as here and here, they have continued without responding to any of the messages.

Just a bit concerned and wanted to escalate this issue. User:Lighthumormonger apparently runs "The Wikipedia Editors Guild".
Not sure the legality on using the "Wikipedia" trademark there.
Anyway, apparently in emails ( example) they ask organisations to submit press releases so that the WEG can then publish stuff in Wikipedia.
They have been rather evasive in the relevant Commons thead.
I do notice they are actively editing in the area of the email, no conclusive diffs found yet. Just asking for some eyes on this as it may affect Wikipedia content.-- Commander Keane ( talk) 22:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
"a letter from Steve Altemus to us at the Wikipedia Editors Guild stating Steve's belief in this fact, would be enough to qualify as having been published under our rules, so then we could publish it in Wikipedia". Whoever wrote that has a dangerously distorted view of what Wikipedia considers a reliable source. Schazjmd (talk) 23:01, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
So far, all of us are what I would call "long time editors of Wikipedia."Lighthumormonger registered an account just a little over a year ago. Grandpallama ( talk) 01:42, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
no conclusive diffs found yet
We're not Commons, but I feel like the questions being asked in the linked thread Commander Keane provided are pretty applicable to enwiki, and the ongoing evasiveness of Lighthumormonger in answering them means we need to be asking them directly here, too. The refusal to disclose who is a member of this "guild" is troubling, since they are presumably editing enwiki in coordination with one another. Grandpallama ( talk) 16:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
In all three discussions with Lighthumormonger (here, Commons and their user talk page on Meta), they only answer questions with evasions, distractions and offhand quips. Not having "enough energy" to respond to questions here is not acceptable. This seems like a clear case of WP:NOTHERE. Toughpigs ( talk) 18:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
The linked thread on Commons seems to indicate that they are performing undisclosed paid editing, while representing themselves under false pretenses. There is no legitimate organization on the English Wikipedia or on Commons calling itself the "Wikipedia Editors' Guild". There is no affiliate organization called the "Wikipedia Editors' Guild". The WMF does not have any record of this organization. Their user talk page on meta (where they are indefinitely blocked for continued trolling and for refusing to disclose the nature of this "guild") contains this:
The Wikipedia Editors Guild (WEG) is in agreement and alignment with all of the journalistic ideals of the Wikimedia Movement as stated within the Charter of the Wikimedia Movement.
This page will be augmented in the future however circumstances may dictate. Should anyone have any questions about the WEG and it's nature or purpose, please leave theyr questions here and we will try to address and answer these questions here in a timely fashion.
Thanks kindly,
The Commons noticeboard thread contains this PDF which was uploaded as a rationale for a file they uploaded. I would highly recommend everyone read this, as it is an extremely obvious and audacious scam email: they are trying to imply that they are officially associated with Wikimedia projects or the Wikimedia Foundation, and represent themselves as an "administrator".
They are doing this in correspondence with corporations, on whose behalf they upload images to Commons, after bizarre emails in which they claim that they are somehow involved with the projects and make decisions on their behalf. The company in this email is clearly addressing they as if they speak on behalf of the project, as they have represented themselves to the company as such.
Multiple people have mentioned that they are actively refactoring people's comments during noticeboard discussions.
Since they have refused to participate in this discussion to explain this outrageously sleazy behavior (and furthermore referred to themselves as "we" while doing so), I am indefinitely blocking them until such time as they can be bothered to provide a full and complete accounting for whatever this is. jp× g 🗯️ 19:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
On their talkpage, in response to the block, they are significantly doubling down on claims about the length of their tenure as an editor. Either they're outright lying about that, or this is also potentially a CU-relevant situation. Grandpallama ( talk) 19:33, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Q.E.D. Polygnotus ( talk) 23:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I was asked for evidence and I got mountains of it. In return I ask how I should describe this pattern of editing? I stopped at 2023-10-04T16:01:23Z so I didn't even get to the worst part. Seems like my confusion got interpreted as hostility, but I tried to express my bewilderment. The point was to discuss the edits by the account, not to accuse anyone, so I retract any and all perceived accusations (although I did not do anything wrong). I am permanently confused how well-meaning people can see a reality so different to mine. When has friendly fire ever worked as a strategy? The list of contribs is larger than I can post onwiki but if you want to I can split it up. The tool I developed to make it can probably be useful in other situations as well. https://i.imgur.com/vTjTi2S.png Polygnotus ( talk) 23:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.Polygnotus ( talk) 01:47, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
raising legitimate concerns about your conductThe idea that pointing out bad behaviour of other editors is somehow a PA/aspersion/whatever is wrong, and the PAGs do not support that idea. There is a big difference between: " User:Example is an asshole", that would fall under WP:PA (even if it is true) and " User:Example is a nazi", which could hypothetically fall under WP:ASPERSIONS even if it is true but there are no reliable sources/selfidentifications that support it and " User:Example is promoting brands on Wikipedia".
refusing to hear said concernsif you look back, isn't it clear that I wasn't the one "refusing to hear concerns"?
with an accompanying argument that amounted entirely to "But it's soooo obvious.Because, to me, it was. And if people start telling me they are very experienced dealing with these things and they cannot see what I see then something is going very wrong.
you are half-condescending to everyone else hereimagine being treated like I was, while knowing the mountain of evidence available. Even a buddhist spiritual teacher would not be indifferent to that.
achieved an open and shut case (and you haven't, FYI; there's still a lot of analsysis and consideration to be done now)Disagree. I wrote a tool for that, it is pretty useful in cases such as this and allowed me to compile this mountain of evidence above. The stuff above is chronological (inside each collapse template); see how they suddenly switch from perfume, very expensive clothes and jewelry to cheap family cars?
acting as if every one should fall in line with your perception that the initial error was with everyone else's responseAgain, to me that is obvious.
not with how you front-ended this discussionI was working on compiling diffs when a bunch of people showed up who were acting, in my view, suboptimally. If they would've politely asked for diffs then they would've gotten the same mountain, it just takes a while to write software and copypaste all that stuff. I am a volunteer and this is my spare time.
if you want to continue to contribute in adminsitrative spaces in general.Ha! I was kinda hoping to offload the work I just did by pointing out the problem. I didn't envision having to get RSI and wrangling the API just to point out what I thought was superobvious.
both are meant in the spirit of asssitanceI was very glad to see you show up and doing your own analysis of the edits instead of simply joining the crowd with pitchforks.
I am just one person, if I am dealing with people derailing the discussion and falsely accusing me, how can I compile diffs at the same time?
vehemently deridingthem; they were falsely accusing me and even threatening me without bothering to look at the diffs. So I knew that nothing short of the overwhelming amount of evidence I've presented would've been enough. I am suprised you are not praising me for how calm and polite I was, considering the circumstances. I was able to defend my point of view, how many others would have been scared off despite being 100% correct? Polygnotus ( talk) 18:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Demanding that all people who happen to notice a crime compile detailed reports and investigate the crime scene themselves in minute detail ensures that no crime will ever be reported.
vehemently deridingpeople. The lack of self-reflection here is baffling, right up to the point where you are
suprised you are not praising me for how calm and polite I was. I'm not going to bother beating my head against your particular wall, but you seriously need to read the room instead of just patting yourself on the back. — The Hand That Feeds You: Bite 19:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I would stop adding we're-helping-save-the-world fluff to the articles about wealthy brands.That is exactly the same advice I gave. If you want me to I can post the full report on a userpage. I have to split it up tho because its 7mb. Polygnotus ( talk) 11:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Apparently Wikipedia only loads the CSS to make the diffs look good when you are editing a page so you need to use a workaround: click Edit and then click the "Show preview" button so you can see it in all its glory. The pattern is super easy to spot: positive fluff (brand did something sustainable) - brand opened store/factory- celeb became brand ambassador - adding a fake/incorrectly used/very weak ref

are being accused of using dishonest marketing methodsincorrect. Polygnotus ( talk) 08:03, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
please email paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org with why you believe an editor is engaged in paid editing and there is private information.Polygnotus ( talk) 22:50, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
"have not been by famous name brands"--
Big brands rarely do all of their marketing inhouse. Big brands outsource part of it to marketing companies. Subcontractors of brands you know do a lot of shady stuff to market products. The subcontractors hired by big brands often do not have the same ability to manipulate the media.
"run the risk of reputation damage by doing so"--
Why do you think there is a massive risk to their reputation? We all know brands do terrible things. They can easily blame subcontractors. Nike, Inc. (look at that controversies section!) for example has done a lot of bad stuff but despite or because of it it is still worth a lot of money.
"it's possible to assume that an editor could in good faith..."--
there is no plausible explanation that does not involve ducks.
yet another undisclosed coi editor trying to be sneaky sigh) where has quite rightly reverted some edits by a user who has removed embarrassing information from a politician's profile, but accuses them of COI. Bias? Sure. COI - there is absolutely no indication anywhere that the editor has any links or affiliations to the politician in question. Orange sticker ( talk) 18:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
I would urge them to spend a bit more time making themselves familiar with the topic first" is silly. Polygnotus ( talk) 12:18, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
so I disagree that I'm mistakenyou don't have to admit (or even believe) that you were wrong, you just have to move on before someone decides that your refusal to get the point and drop the stick is disruptive enough to do something about it. We agree and disagree about loads of things and thats to be expected in a diverse community. Polygnotus ( talk) 12:55, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
you don't have to admit (or even believe) that you were wrong, you just have to move onafter you! ;) I'm sorry you don't appreciate my contributions but I have as much right to make them as anyone else. Orange sticker ( talk) 12:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
I first encountered this editor while working on Project 2025. Their first comment directed at me on the talk page contained a personal attack: [100] "I also notice that the user in question seems to be obsessively editing the Liber OZ page--he's responsible for 49 of the last 50 edits on this page."
Since making this personal attack, the editor in question has followed me to three article which they have never edited before based on my contributions. First to the article mentioned in the attack, which they have (IMO) defaced several times now, doing more damage each time I revert them. They have also followed me to Human rights inflation ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and to Template:Thelema, where their comments on the talk page show that they really have no knowledge of the subject.
It would be nice if some admin had a discussion with them about what hounding is, because they are - as new editors usually do - pretending this has nothing to do with our disgreement at Talk:Project 2025. Wasn't going to report it, but they have since insisted on escalating this. Skyerise ( talk) 21:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
This editor has also stalked me to Tyrannicide and removed a relevant link I added there. These actions are clearly intended to harass. I have other things I am working on, and I can't work on them due to this harassment. Perhaps a short block is in order. Skyerise ( talk) 21:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
I have never reverted Skyerise's edits
a document first published in 1941 is still protected by copyrightThis is not necessarily true. In the case of Liber OZ specifically, Aleister Crowley died in 1947, so in the UK (where copyright duration is Life+70) it is out of copyright. Judging by this website cited in our article, the original pamphlet was published in both the US and the UK and without a copyright notice, which would mean that it is also out of copyright in the USA due to {{ PD-US-no-notice}}.

There is one further discrepancy I would like to point out: Mosi Nuru claims to be a "new editor", giving this as the reason for discussing me with Redrose64 without pinging me. This seems to be supported by their current edit count of 211 edits. However, their very first edit was to open an RfC at Talk:Eyferth study. I'd like to see disclosure of previous accounts happen here... Skyerise ( talk) 11:59, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Continuing to look at this, it seems they've been playing the "new editor" card - while citing various policy and guideline pages – since the very begining of editing here: "I am a new editor noting what I believe is rude and uncivil behavior by a more senior editor, in a reply to the specific comment that I believe was rude and uncivil." [101]. The RfC itself was full of suspected sock and meatpuppetry, and MN eventually weighed in on the WP:FRINGE side [102]. Since this issue regards race and intelligence, perhaps all is not what it seems with this editor? I don't edit in that area, but I am sure there must be some admins and regular editors who are familiar with the SPA and LTA players in that field around Feb 2023.

This user has been received talk page pushback for some years for adding details to biographies and film articles which don't appear in the sources they're citing. They were
told in August 2023 that they appear to [be] making stuff up
. They're on a level 3 warning but a level 4 is likely to be too nuanced for AIV, so I'll raise it here now.
I've just cleared out the
John Carpenter and
John Carpenter's unrealized projects articles after finding that a
recent edit contained attributed quotes which simply didn't appear in the sources, or had been embellished; Carpenter does say A Dracula movie would be nice.
in a cited interview, but he does not go on to say And a movie called "John Carpenter's Dracula" would be nicer. Maybe we'll find out here soon.
to the point where Dracula can be listed as an "unrealized project". He does not say that a character in one of his films was flying like Interstellar or Ad Astra
, he says that they were flying interstellar
. In
this edit to Carpenter's biography the cited source does not say anything about Carpenter speaking about racism in rural Kentucky or how a meteor came out of the screen and blew up in my face
- and that phrase only appears once elsewhere online, in a
July 2024 magazine article that post-dates the edit and may have been taken in good faith from the Wikipedia article.
Some of this could be sloppy editing where they've pasted in the wrong cite URL, some could be writing from memory without checking that it's all in the source that they've chosen to cite, but in many cases they do seem to be actively fabricating quotations.

Joefromrandb has been engaged in a content dispute alongside at least two other contributors and I regarding verifiable content on the article, Gino Jennings. They have been quite belligerent with their methods too, and it stems to their commentary on the talk page by using vulgar, combative language such as "happy horseshit" for starters. I began reverting them several times, but I do not wish to suffer punishment for a WP:EDITWAR. All of the information came from reputable sources, yet were removed for the sake of the person the article is named after self-identifying as what they ironically don't identify as. In sum, I left a warning on their talk page that stated, "Please stop. If you continue to censor or remove encyclopedic content based on the fact that it is offensive to some readers, as you did at Gino Jennings, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia is not censored, and attempts to censor encyclopedic content will be regarded as vandalism." It would seem, however, that they would rather be combative about this, as so many IP addresses and other accounts which apparently are Ginoites have done. - TheLionHasSeen ( talk) 13:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Wolffff vandalized A Grande Conquista 2 yesterday, changing its introduction from "A Grande Conquista 2 is the second season of the Brazilian reality television series A Grande Conquista, which premiered on Monday, April 22, 2024, on RecordTV." to "The big dick 328197 is the endless hundred two season of the nazist reality television series A Grande Conquista, which premiered on May 2, 1027 AD, on medieval Pornhub TV.", and then doing a series of illogical page moves on it until it ended up at the obvious nonsense title MediaWiki talk:Zjq0qlkqjqjab ?..
I've reverted and revdelled everything, so that the article is now back where it was and has the original introduction instead of the pornhubized one, but obviously the fact that this happened at all is a problem. However, given the contrast between this and their prior edit history up until now, which mainly comprised non-problematic wikignomery (including prior edits to the same article that didn't introduce anything about Nazis or Pornhub), I have no idea whether to file this under "good editor gone bad" or "good editor whose account got hacked", and I'm not an expert in investigating that sort of thing.
So wanted to ask if somebody could look into this and determine whether it's serious enough to warrant consequences or not, but also the page could probably use a few extra watchlisters just in case something like this gets tried again by that editor or somebody else.

Anytime there’s a discussion involving an article that falls under GENSEX topics,
User:dtobias comes in and more or less just rants about the evil transgenders in a way that contributes nothing to the article’s talk page and only serves to espouse his views on trans rights. Examples include randomly going on rants about his general hatred and contempt for ‘trans activists’ in a way that has nothing to do with the page,
[142]
[143], how properly gendering trans people is newspeak,
[144], how trans people are comparable to people who think they’re literally Napoleon,
[145], and how the rise in gender critical beliefs is because “transgenderism” is no longer fringe
[146] - along with the occasional unnecessary comment in an otherwise relevant rant, such as The feminist movement includes all women, regardless of their identifications (as “transgender men” or any other label).
[147]
He also frequently either directly accuses or through a paper thin pretense accuses other editors of being trans activists without the wiki’s best interests at heart. This includes saying that properly gendering trans people in line with MOS:GENDERID is comparable to a Muslim user forcing his religious beliefs on Wikipedia, [148] and accusing users of trying to discount any source that’s not PinkNews even when the sources in question are very demonstrably unreliable and/or employ the use of anti-trans slurs. [149] [150] On at least one occasion, he has also made edits to GENSEX articles themselves, referring to trans women using he/him pronouns. [151]
A search of ANI and AE archives shows that he’s been to both before for much similar behavior on GENSEX topics, and has only been let off after promising to do better. [152] [153] I think it’s fair to say that he has not, and that this is behavior that a glance at his userpage seems to indicate some measure of pride in. Snokalok ( talk) 19:36, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

This user has a poor grasp of English, yet insists on changing grammar on a wide array of articles. They are also on an apparent mission to go against WP:Red link. They will do things like improperly replace "this" with "the" and "these" with "they", and a favorite error is to needlessly use a person's full name in the body of a biographical article as well as change the proper use of their last name with informal and unencyclopedic use of their first name ( [154], [155], among others). The rest of their edits are littered with grammatical errors, and this bizarre interaction on my talk page speaks for itself. Talk page warnings are blanked and ignored, and their edit summaries are almost always a single-word non-sequitur. They clearly don't have a sufficient grasp of English to make the edits they make, and seem unwilling to acknowledge that. -- Sable232 ( talk) 14:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

24.125.98.89 was previously blocked multiple times for disruptive NOTHERE comments, most recently a three-month block in April that expired just recently. At their last ANI report, myself and others also expressed concern that, based on behavior, the IP could possibly be a sock of CBANned user LaserLegs, who himself was blocked for racist comments a while back.
As said previously, the three-month block expired on July 7. They shortly returned with some comments at Talk:Attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which, while semi-questionable in nature, aren't really block-worthy - that said, they followed that up today with this edit at ITNC, a former domain of LaserLegs, with this comment:
Students in Bangladesh fight for merit based employment while in the West radicalized anti-White marxists struggle to preserve hateful woke DEI exclusionary policies.
While in a vacuum I don't think one edit like this would be quite enough for another sanction, it's pretty clear they've learned absolutely nothing from prior blocks for this exact sort of thing - they've used up their entire WP:ROPE by this point. The Kip ( contribs) 15:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Not sure where to go with this, but it's it contentious topic and under arbitration enforcement, so here's as good as anywhere. This new editor dislikes the term "Armalite Rifle", and is editing the article to remove it and add their assertion that the term is a misconception. Neither part is being sourced, and sources on the page do indeed use "Armalite Rifle" as a term.
Since it's under enforcement, I'm obviously sticking at 1RR as the edit notice says. The other editor who reverted them has also stuck there. They, of course, have not.
Some further eyes, and perhaps a light tapping with a cluestick, would seem to be useful at this point so we don't end up having a big business over something so seemingly minor. 2A00:23C5:50E8:EE01:FDBB:D885:56F4:B3F5 ( talk) 15:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I recently closed an RfC on Yasuke and feel like the situation at Talk: Yasuke is deteoriating once again as more WP:SPA's are arriving to argue about the subject. There is a not insignificant amount of WP:SOAPBOXING occurring as well as some vaguely nationalist rhetoric where editors are proclaiming that Wikipedia is being governed by black supremacy and DEI as well as considerable activity taking place offsite on a Wikitionary Talk Page where aspersions are being cast on other editors involved in the dispute such as outright accusing others editors of lying and conspiring at fabricating historical truth as well as what appears to be attempts to Status Quo Stonewall as noted here where they begin discussing how to circumvent the RfC consensus before the RfC was even closed when they saw that the votes weren't going in their favor as well as WP:Tagteaming seen here.

This format encourages respondents to "vote" without engaging in a discussion, sharing alternatives, or developing compromises
Separate votes from discussion If you expect a lot of responses, consider creating a subsection, after your signature, called (for example) "Survey," where people can support or oppose, and a second sub-section called (for example) "Threaded discussion," where people can discuss the issues in depth. You can ask people not to add threaded replies to the survey section, but you can't require people to follow your advice. Editors are permitted to freely refuse your request.
This format encourages respondents to "vote" without engaging in a discussion, sharing alternatives, or developing compromises. It is most suitable for questions with clear yes/no or support/oppose answers, such as "Shall we adopt this policy?". Avoid this style for questions with multiple possible answers, such as "What kinds of images would be suitable for this article?" or "What should the first sentence say?" This style is used for RfCs that attract a lot of responses, but is probably overkill for most RfCs.

Thomas Lockley lectures in international communication at Kanda University of International Studies in Chiba Japan. He has worked in Japanese education for five years and also taught French, German and Japanese for four years in UK secondary and primary schools. His research and teaching interests include secondary education, motivation and self-perception.
I am fluent in Japanese and I've repeatedly referenced 新辞林's definition of 侍 (帯刀し,武芸をもって主君に仕えた者。武士。 ) to support the conclusions that matter experts and reliable sources have drawn in regards to Yasuke being a samurai.
Source text of item 1: 武芸をもって貴族や武家に仕えた者の称。平安中期ごろから宮中や院を警固する者をいうようになり、鎌倉・室町時代には(庶民)と区別される上級武士をさした。江戸時代になって幕府の旗本、諸藩の中小姓以上の称となり、また、士農工商のうちの士身分をいう通称ともなった。武士。
Machine translated (@ Eirikr can provide a more accurate translation): A name for a person who served a noble or samurai family with martial arts. From around the mid-Heian period, it came to refer to those who guarded the imperial court and temples, and in the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, it referred to high-ranking bushi who were distinguished from the Bonge (commoners). In the Edo period, it became the hatamoto of the shogunate, a name for the middle and higher page names of various domains, and also became a common name for the samurai class among the samurai, agriculture, industry, and commerce. Bushi.

Lockley is reliable because it is his field of expertise, and because his works have been peer-reviewed by other historians and subject matter experts who support the claims in them. I've explained this multiple times (and am indeed happy to do so anytime), however you should be aware that your refusal to drop the stock is not indicative of you being "ignored" by anyone.
Rather, it is indictive of a disruptive editing pattern on your behalf that you've been repeatedly been warned about, where you beat a dead horse and refuse to drop the stick on topics where there is already a clear consensus. I think the next step for you is a topic ban.
[Bludgeoning] is where someone attempts to force their point of view through a very high number of comments, such as contradicting every viewpoint that is different from their own. Typically, this means making the same argument over and over and to different people in the same discussion or across related discussions. [...] This behavior and conduct is undesirable, considered a form of disruptive editing, and is usually seen and reported as such when observed by other editors who are involved in the same discussion.
re Eirikr's the other editor refusing to engage in my attempts at conversing with them on Talk:Yasuke about the quality of the tertiary and quaternary sources they reference. Eirikr made 88 edits to Talk: Yasuke adding 115 kB of text and Hexenakte made 111 edits adding 188 kB. They argued that Britannica, Smithsonians Magazine, BBC, TIME, CNN, France Info, Lockley's book and Lopez-Vera's book are not WP:RS because of their content: these sources directly claim that Yasuke was a samurai, which is incompatible with Hexenakte's and Eirikr's original research. There is not one single reliable source denying that Yasuke was a samurai, apart from the 300 kB of ruminations Eirikr and Hexenakte have posted on that talk page. This runs contrary to core policies and is disruptive as WP:BLUDGEON. Eirikr is not entitled to have me or others "engaged in their attempts at conversing" - they should have dropped the stick weeks ago. I don't know if there's an issue of bad faith or competence but I'm sure it's disruptive and should stop.
I see the usual suspects from the talk page are bringing their walls of text over here as well. I will keep things short and to the point (as best as one can with this subject matter). Per the RfC that was closed, there are numerous sources, including a number of academic ones I've previously presented over there, that discuss the subject's history and how he was given the title of samurai. There are no reliable sources that argue otherwise. Meanwhile, you've got editors like Hexenakte and Eirikr that have made massive threads all across the talk page trying to put in their own WP:OR interpretation of said sources, claiming that the sources aren't reliable because they translated the Japanese wrong or didn't show the primary sources they were using, ect. I've tried to explain to them time and again that editors aren't allowed to be sources and claim their interpretation is the factual one, especially if they don't even have a single reliable source backing their claims. My statements in that regard have fallen on deaf ears time and time again with both of said editors (and they are likely to reply to my comment here with yet another wall of text arguing the same points again).

Symphony Regalia ( talk) 22:13, 19 July 2024 (UTC)When blatantly false information about a country’s history is unjustly propagated as truth overseas, then you are going to have people who are upset and wish to bring attention to the inconsistencies and lies being spread around. In fact, this topic has been trending in Japan lately and is garnering serious scrutiny and backlash due to historical revisionism by Wikipedia (trending on X which is the main outlet for popular Japanese discourse).

DarmaniLink, who complains that Symphony Regalia is casting aspersions by mentioning the "anti-woke", "anti-dei", right-wing assault on the Yasuke article, began their first comment on the Yasuke talk page with
Descendent of an (actual) samurai of the saeki clan, with a preserved 15th century land grant document in my family's possession here. Another editor complained aboutblack supremacy and DEI propaganda. Personally I don't care about their motives, whether they are right-wing nationalists or passionate amateur historians and samurai enthusiasts - I'm not interested in their agenda, but I'm interested in their sources. Unfortunately those opposing Yasuke's status as a samurai have not provided sources contradicting Encyclopaedia Britannica, Smithsonian Magazine, TIME, BBC, or the research of Lockley and Lopez-Vera.

When that editor then edits the Yasuke article to add a detail ("as a samurai") with citations, and those citations do not say anything about that detail. Again, I don’t know if that's bad faith or lack of competence but this edit of mine replaces "retainer" with "samurai", which is directly supported by all cited sources, and modifies one sentence,
As a samurai, he was granted a servant, a house and stipend, which is supported by the quoted source, CNN, stating "Today, Yasuke’s legacy as the world’s first African samurai is well known in Japan (...) Nobunaga soon made him a samurai – even providing him with his own servant, house and stipend, according to Jesuit records".

I believe the best way to handle this situation is call on the man himself, whether it be through Wikipedia or through the Japanese National Diet, or any other official manner really, to explain the decisions he made, because this is extremely dishonest.(emphasis added).
While strongly discouraged, it isn't forbidden, especially not when properly disclosed, which @Tottoritom did in their third edit. The only definitive COI editing was in the deletion discussion, where they again disclosed their COI. Their edits to the Yasuke page were WP:SELFCITE, which is allowed (within reason) [...] the only edit that Tottoritom made was the addition of their book to the pop culture section of the article in January 2019. They have not edited since then.
Citations should be in the third person and should not place undue emphasis on your work. (Emphasis mine)
The first full length book about Yasuke in English, written by Thomas Lockley and Geoffrey Girard, called "African Samurai: The True Story of Yasuke, a Legendary Black Warrior in Feudal Japan," will be published in May 2018. (Emphasis mine)
In a very long comment over on RSN you said ["]I believe the best way to handle this situation [']is call on the man himself, whether it be through Wikipedia['] or through the Japanese National Diet, or any other official manner really, to explain the decisions he made, because this is extremely dishonest.["] (emphasis added).
I hope this doesn't come across as accusatory or aggressive, but what are you hoping to make happen here? Are you looking for any actions to be taken on Wikipedia, or was this WP:FORUM posting?
gaslightis, to my knowledge, pretty much always considered a WP:PA and a failure to WP:AGF.
[Here] on the same wiktionary as the last report it can clearly be seen that @Hexenakte and @Eirikr were attempting to quote farm a definition of Samurai to suit their purpose, and then when presented evidence by another user showing an entire list of sources the two thought could support their view were instead stating the definition they are trying to disprove - the focus was merely shifted to whether they could still cite an offhanded quote by a scholar which could be read as supporting their preferred definition over an entire laundry list of published works of that same author reinforcing the definition on Samurai.
If you don't have sources available to support your position, then whatever you are arguing is OR and irrelevant for the purposes of Wikipedia relative to the rest of the sources. Continuously posting new OR does not help, it just textwalls discussions on how Wikipedia should handle the sources that are being used or under review in an increasingly unreadable text log of OR that - whether it pans out correct or not - has no merit by Wikipedia standards until these have sources cited alongside them. Whats wrong with your approach is that you're failing to honestly engage the body of literature by dismissing the status quo as wrong without sources ready to demonstrate this.
At times, sources provide conflicting facts and opinions. Comparing and contrasting these conflicts is not generally classed as original research (as the nature of the conflict can be referenced to sources meeting WP:VERIFY), but synthesis or unsupported conclusions based on those conflicts must not appear in an article. These source conflicts fall into two broad categories: factual and summation.
A factual conflict arises when reliable sources present facts that appear to contradict each other. As an example, one source may claim a town had a population of 5,000 in 1990, whereas another claims a population of 7,000 in the same year.
A talk page is the right place to claim that something in an article is SYNTH. The policy does not forbid inferences on talk pages that would be SYNTH if made in an article.

SPA on the Yasuke talk page (with an incursion into the article on former video game executive Mark Kern) who's been bludgeoning to the point of disruption. Recently they repeatedly pushed the view/taunt that Yasuke was actually a slave without providing RSes and/or misrepresenting the sources. Even if Yasuke was a slave of the Portuguese jesuits, that's irrelevant because the contentious point is his status when he was at Nobunaga's service, so all this is pointless waste of time that comes across as deliberate provocation. E.g. slave and/or something else than a samurai, the National Diet Library (NDL) of Japan, who is calling these black people in Japan, like Yasuke, servants and slaves, just one of hundreds of other non-samurai warriors, gunners, entertainers, servants in Japan, Mitsuhide killed captured samurai, but he didn't killed Yasuke and called him an animal and not Japanese, Leupp, who clearly calls Yasuke a slave, is surely not a reliable source, except that we use Leupp already (pointless sarcasm, irrelevant), Yasuke was such a slave-servant already, it was standard praxis in India and Japan for Portuguese to have black slave-servants ... But surely Yasuke is the sole exception without any source proving this unique anomaly in thousands of similar African slaves. This is either WP:CIR or WP:BATTLE, but either way it doesn't help. Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 17:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
IN this news-article Lockney himself calls Yasuke a slave". What I see when I search for the word "slave" in that article is "
Some have said that Yasuke was a slave, and Lockley acknowledges the theory but disagrees. “Personally I don’t think he was a slave in any sense of the word, I think he was a free actor,” Lockley said.Given that blatant misrepresentation of the source, I'm not interested in spending time looking at any of your other claims.

i am a young contributor to Wikipediaand
i am not so perfectly adept to the rules in Wikipedia, and yet in 2017 they were indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry on de.wiki [44]. I doubt they are a new user, WP:BITE doesn't apply - also digging out Symphony Regalia's Tban from GENSEX (which is irrelevant here) while pretending not to know hot to post a link on a talk page is not the behaviour of a newcomer.
so i presume
the translation as a African priest seem to be a mistranslation by the English translation ... the original calls him ... 黒坊主 and this would mean a black monk, monks can't become samurai, they had Sōhei, so i presume, that the original meaning is a young black manis entirely individual analysis by ErikWar. This is precisely the kind of thing that is prohibited from being put into Wikipedia articles by WP:OR.
The behavior of the user @ Symphony Regalia in this talk page as well as Talk:Yasuke and Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Reliability_of_Thomas_Lockley has proven to be disruptive with no intention of providing good faith discussion about the issues with the Yasuke article or the reliability discussion on Lockley. Throughout all three talk pages, he has consistently accused others of being disruptive without providing diff links or any citations for his claims, as well as trying to dismiss all opposition by establishing himself as an ambiguous authority of him "being Japanese and fluent in the Japanese language" without ever providing any explanation as to why said translations are accurate or inaccurate, or any reputable dictionary such as Kotobank, or even speaking in Japanese himself - Except for this sole post, as he was threatened with a topic ban if he didn't explain his case. [45] When pressed with questions of where he got his information from, or what citations he has, he completely ignores it, [46] or more recently he starts gaslighting that he has always done it. [47] When I confronted him again over this - as well as him sending a very high volume of comments in a short amount of time - he ignores it. [48] This post here also demonstrates Regalia's past controversies, where he has a history of disruptive editing and dishonest methods on Wikipedia. Me and several other editors have given Regalia multiple chances to explain himself and give him the benefit of the doubt on the validity of his arguments, however in the light of the mentioned issues, it is best that Regalia receives a topic ban from this discussion page as well as the other 2 aforementioned pages, as it is clear he has zero interest in providing good faith discussion.

I don’t think people will be interested in the 24 diffs you posted above (most of which were months ago, back in 2023).
Perhaps I shouldn’t have tried to make peace with you. I’m too forgetful, and forget how good you are at misleading people with unrelated diffs, links and sources. Maybe you would like to post all the diffs at one time, like this.
It seems to me that your main purpose is not trying to improve the article. Rather, you are using aged or tangentially-related diffs in the hope that you can get rid of another editor by sheer weight of numbers, especially where said diffs have been raised at previous ANIs that ended without the desired ban. I won’t comment on the issue of the former admin you mentioned, as I know nothing about that. However, I don’t think ANI is only moderated by one admin. Again, digging up old non-issue issues is a waste of community’s time and is exhausting other editors. Not to mention the untrue claims / potential WP:PA that are made. I don’t think I’ll take the bait this time. You can go on with your diffs.
If I was wrong and that word does mean attack and shouldn’t be used, I’ll retract that, with apologies. As for “moving to another area of the encyclopaedia”, do you mean I should quit editing an article of my choice, and which I’m the main contributor of, just because I have been trying hard to protect the page from misinformation (which results in untrue claims / PA / case against me)? It shouldn’t be how things work ...”Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassmentthat consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",[5] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.[6] The term originated with a 2014 strip ...”

"let's be honest, this is just a rationalization to avoid including anything which could give the appearance of criticism of Ukraine/NATO."And
"This is not serious or good faith conduct, it seems like you're just looking for a pretext to rid the encyclopedia of this properly-sourced and widely-discussed allegation."is, if anything, even more of an issue." Please try to remember, not just to avoid kerfuffles like this, but for the sake of enhancing the potential viability of your own arguments, that this kind of implication of active shilling/protectionism for what you perceive to be the cultural leanings and biases of other editors is not in any way helpful.All of that said, the worst JDiala has said in this regard is, at least to this point, still comes in a bit under the threshold that would require community oversight and response, let alone sanction. Collectively, every comment brought to bear against JDiala in this thread so far does not really amount to the equivalent of even one proper WP:PA. Do their comments walk right up to the line of the wrong side of AGF with regarding to the outlooks and biases of their opposition, and even take a solid step over? Yeah, they more or less do. But on the whole, what is being reported here is pretty typical, low-level implication of lack of perspective that one is bound to see here and there in these circumstances. As I said before, not a winning formula for JDiala, and the quicker they realizes that, the better--because not only are they hurting their own efforts, but eventually sticking to and doubling down on such comments will pass a point of proper violation of expected behavioural standards. But at the moment, there is nothing I would classify as outright WP:disruption--though arguably they are treading near tendentiousness or even WP:battleground behaviour.

Just a bit concerned and wanted to escalate this issue. User:Lighthumormonger apparently runs "The Wikipedia Editors Guild".
Not sure the legality on using the "Wikipedia" trademark there.
Anyway, apparently in emails ( example) they ask organisations to submit press releases so that the WEG can then publish stuff in Wikipedia.
They have been rather evasive in the relevant Commons thead.
I do notice they are actively editing in the area of the email, no conclusive diffs found yet. Just asking for some eyes on this as it may affect Wikipedia content.-- Commander Keane ( talk) 22:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
"a letter from Steve Altemus to us at the Wikipedia Editors Guild stating Steve's belief in this fact, would be enough to qualify as having been published under our rules, so then we could publish it in Wikipedia". Whoever wrote that has a dangerously distorted view of what Wikipedia considers a reliable source. Schazjmd (talk) 23:01, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
So far, all of us are what I would call "long time editors of Wikipedia."Lighthumormonger registered an account just a little over a year ago. Grandpallama ( talk) 01:42, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
no conclusive diffs found yet
We're not Commons, but I feel like the questions being asked in the linked thread Commander Keane provided are pretty applicable to enwiki, and the ongoing evasiveness of Lighthumormonger in answering them means we need to be asking them directly here, too. The refusal to disclose who is a member of this "guild" is troubling, since they are presumably editing enwiki in coordination with one another. Grandpallama ( talk) 16:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
In all three discussions with Lighthumormonger (here, Commons and their user talk page on Meta), they only answer questions with evasions, distractions and offhand quips. Not having "enough energy" to respond to questions here is not acceptable. This seems like a clear case of WP:NOTHERE. Toughpigs ( talk) 18:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
The linked thread on Commons seems to indicate that they are performing undisclosed paid editing, while representing themselves under false pretenses. There is no legitimate organization on the English Wikipedia or on Commons calling itself the "Wikipedia Editors' Guild". There is no affiliate organization called the "Wikipedia Editors' Guild". The WMF does not have any record of this organization. Their user talk page on meta (where they are indefinitely blocked for continued trolling and for refusing to disclose the nature of this "guild") contains this:
The Wikipedia Editors Guild (WEG) is in agreement and alignment with all of the journalistic ideals of the Wikimedia Movement as stated within the Charter of the Wikimedia Movement.
This page will be augmented in the future however circumstances may dictate. Should anyone have any questions about the WEG and it's nature or purpose, please leave theyr questions here and we will try to address and answer these questions here in a timely fashion.
Thanks kindly,
The Commons noticeboard thread contains this PDF which was uploaded as a rationale for a file they uploaded. I would highly recommend everyone read this, as it is an extremely obvious and audacious scam email: they are trying to imply that they are officially associated with Wikimedia projects or the Wikimedia Foundation, and represent themselves as an "administrator".
They are doing this in correspondence with corporations, on whose behalf they upload images to Commons, after bizarre emails in which they claim that they are somehow involved with the projects and make decisions on their behalf. The company in this email is clearly addressing they as if they speak on behalf of the project, as they have represented themselves to the company as such.
Multiple people have mentioned that they are actively refactoring people's comments during noticeboard discussions.
Since they have refused to participate in this discussion to explain this outrageously sleazy behavior (and furthermore referred to themselves as "we" while doing so), I am indefinitely blocking them until such time as they can be bothered to provide a full and complete accounting for whatever this is. jp× g 🗯️ 19:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
On their talkpage, in response to the block, they are significantly doubling down on claims about the length of their tenure as an editor. Either they're outright lying about that, or this is also potentially a CU-relevant situation. Grandpallama ( talk) 19:33, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
For the Record, the character is now G-locked, I sorted it out; I think User:Just Step Sideways got a bit confused, asking for a Glock with only two blocks in the bag, but luckily I got it sorted. Thanks for the help, JSS ;) One more time for the record :D ——Serial Number 54129 09:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

This IP has a very lengthy history of adding unsourced content ( 1, 2, 3) and ignoring MOS guidelines – ENGVAR in particular ( 1, 2). They are still non-communicative and still failing to use edit summaries. I've reported them previously for their editing (see here).

Despite repeated warnings and a invitation to discuss why these additions are overlinked duplication and or irrelevant/not fully relevant link Special:Diff/1234828269, the anon IP 95.248.88.77 refuses any discussion nor explaining with good reason about overlinking edits.

These overlinking links to duplicate copies & overlinking irrelevant video links, especially further more consistently re-revert these duplicates/irrelevant videos apparently doesn't contribute to encyclopedia meaningfully, which is worse than mere incompetent. Apparently this anon IP 95.248.88.77 isn't here to build encyclopedia WP:NOTHERE --- Cat12zu3 ( talk) 10:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Anon IP 95.248.88.77 are back even after numerous disruptive warning past way beyond 4th time, even after ANI, seemed audacious to continue spam WP:ELNO duplicated audio links & irrelevant links.
95.248.88.77 are now spaming in other songs not just Celine Dion, so WP:PAGEPROTECT seemed not effective (which I only just requested 1 article semi-protection at WP:RFPP), like Whack-a-mole.

@ Polygnotus you are linking to diffs with no explanation, and I also see you have flagged a page that Hajer-12 created with the WP:COI template, but there's nothing in your edit summary or the talk page to indicate why you've done this?

Q.E.D. Polygnotus ( talk) 23:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I was asked for evidence and I got mountains of it. In return I ask how I should describe this pattern of editing? I stopped at 2023-10-04T16:01:23Z so I didn't even get to the worst part. Seems like my confusion got interpreted as hostility, but I tried to express my bewilderment. The point was to discuss the edits by the account, not to accuse anyone, so I retract any and all perceived accusations (although I did not do anything wrong). I am permanently confused how well-meaning people can see a reality so different to mine. When has friendly fire ever worked as a strategy? The list of contribs is larger than I can post onwiki but if you want to I can split it up. The tool I developed to make it can probably be useful in other situations as well. https://i.imgur.com/vTjTi2S.png Polygnotus ( talk) 23:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.Polygnotus ( talk) 01:47, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
raising legitimate concerns about your conductThe idea that pointing out bad behaviour of other editors is somehow a PA/aspersion/whatever is wrong, and the PAGs do not support that idea. There is a big difference between: " User:Example is an asshole", that would fall under WP:PA (even if it is true) and " User:Example is a nazi", which could hypothetically fall under WP:ASPERSIONS even if it is true but there are no reliable sources/selfidentifications that support it and " User:Example is promoting brands on Wikipedia".
refusing to hear said concernsif you look back, isn't it clear that I wasn't the one "refusing to hear concerns"?
with an accompanying argument that amounted entirely to "But it's soooo obvious.Because, to me, it was. And if people start telling me they are very experienced dealing with these things and they cannot see what I see then something is going very wrong.
you are half-condescending to everyone else hereimagine being treated like I was, while knowing the mountain of evidence available. Even a buddhist spiritual teacher would not be indifferent to that.
achieved an open and shut case (and you haven't, FYI; there's still a lot of analsysis and consideration to be done now)Disagree. I wrote a tool for that, it is pretty useful in cases such as this and allowed me to compile this mountain of evidence above. The stuff above is chronological (inside each collapse template); see how they suddenly switch from perfume, very expensive clothes and jewelry to cheap family cars?
acting as if every one should fall in line with your perception that the initial error was with everyone else's responseAgain, to me that is obvious.
not with how you front-ended this discussionI was working on compiling diffs when a bunch of people showed up who were acting, in my view, suboptimally. If they would've politely asked for diffs then they would've gotten the same mountain, it just takes a while to write software and copypaste all that stuff. I am a volunteer and this is my spare time.
if you want to continue to contribute in adminsitrative spaces in general.Ha! I was kinda hoping to offload the work I just did by pointing out the problem. I didn't envision having to get RSI and wrangling the API just to point out what I thought was superobvious.
both are meant in the spirit of asssitanceI was very glad to see you show up and doing your own analysis of the edits instead of simply joining the crowd with pitchforks.
I am just one person, if I am dealing with people derailing the discussion and falsely accusing me, how can I compile diffs at the same time?
vehemently deridingthem; they were falsely accusing me and even threatening me without bothering to look at the diffs. So I knew that nothing short of the overwhelming amount of evidence I've presented would've been enough. I am suprised you are not praising me for how calm and polite I was, considering the circumstances. I was able to defend my point of view, how many others would have been scared off despite being 100% correct? Polygnotus ( talk) 18:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Demanding that all people who happen to notice a crime compile detailed reports and investigate the crime scene themselves in minute detail ensures that no crime will ever be reported.
vehemently deridingpeople. The lack of self-reflection here is baffling, right up to the point where you are
suprised you are not praising me for how calm and polite I was. I'm not going to bother beating my head against your particular wall, but you seriously need to read the room instead of just patting yourself on the back. — The Hand That Feeds You: Bite 19:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I would stop adding we're-helping-save-the-world fluff to the articles about wealthy brands.That is exactly the same advice I gave. If you want me to I can post the full report on a userpage. I have to split it up tho because its 7mb. Polygnotus ( talk) 11:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Apparently Wikipedia only loads the CSS to make the diffs look good when you are editing a page so you need to use a workaround: click Edit and then click the "Show preview" button so you can see it in all its glory. The pattern is super easy to spot: positive fluff (brand did something sustainable) - brand opened store/factory- celeb became brand ambassador - adding a fake/incorrectly used/very weak ref

"have not been by famous name brands"--
Big brands rarely do all of their marketing inhouse. Big brands outsource part of it to marketing companies. Subcontractors of brands you know do a lot of shady stuff to market products. The subcontractors hired by big brands often do not have the same ability to manipulate the media.
"run the risk of reputation damage by doing so"--
Why do you think there is a massive risk to their reputation? We all know brands do terrible things. They can easily blame subcontractors. Nike, Inc. (look at that controversies section!) for example has done a lot of bad stuff but despite or because of it it is still worth a lot of money.
"it's possible to assume that an editor could in good faith..."--
there is no plausible explanation that does not involve ducks.
yet another undisclosed coi editor trying to be sneaky sigh) where has quite rightly reverted some edits by a user who has removed embarrassing information from a politician's profile, but accuses them of COI. Bias? Sure. COI - there is absolutely no indication anywhere that the editor has any links or affiliations to the politician in question. Orange sticker ( talk) 18:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

so I disagree that I'm mistakenyou don't have to admit (or even believe) that you were wrong, you just have to move on before someone decides that your refusal to get the point and drop the stick is disruptive enough to do something about it. We agree and disagree about loads of things and thats to be expected in a diverse community. Polygnotus ( talk) 12:55, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
you don't have to admit (or even believe) that you were wrong, you just have to move onafter you! ;) I'm sorry you don't appreciate my contributions but I have as much right to make them as anyone else. Orange sticker ( talk) 12:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
I first encountered this editor while working on Project 2025. Their first comment directed at me on the talk page contained a personal attack: [100] "I also notice that the user in question seems to be obsessively editing the Liber OZ page--he's responsible for 49 of the last 50 edits on this page."
Since making this personal attack, the editor in question has followed me to three article which they have never edited before based on my contributions. First to the article mentioned in the attack, which they have (IMO) defaced several times now, doing more damage each time I revert them. They have also followed me to Human rights inflation ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and to Template:Thelema, where their comments on the talk page show that they really have no knowledge of the subject.
It would be nice if some admin had a discussion with them about what hounding is, because they are - as new editors usually do - pretending this has nothing to do with our disgreement at Talk:Project 2025. Wasn't going to report it, but they have since insisted on escalating this. Skyerise ( talk) 21:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
This editor has also stalked me to Tyrannicide and removed a relevant link I added there. These actions are clearly intended to harass. I have other things I am working on, and I can't work on them due to this harassment. Perhaps a short block is in order. Skyerise ( talk) 21:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
I have never reverted Skyerise's edits
a document first published in 1941 is still protected by copyrightThis is not necessarily true. In the case of Liber OZ specifically, Aleister Crowley died in 1947, so in the UK (where copyright duration is Life+70) it is out of copyright. Judging by this website cited in our article, the original pamphlet was published in both the US and the UK and without a copyright notice, which would mean that it is also out of copyright in the USA due to {{ PD-US-no-notice}}. Caeciliusinhorto-public ( talk) 09:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
There is one further discrepancy I would like to point out: Mosi Nuru claims to be a "new editor", giving this as the reason for discussing me with Redrose64 without pinging me. This seems to be supported by their current edit count of 211 edits. However, their very first edit was to open an RfC at Talk:Eyferth study. I'd like to see disclosure of previous accounts happen here... Skyerise ( talk) 11:59, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Continuing to look at this, it seems they've been playing the "new editor" card - while citing various policy and guideline pages – since the very begining of editing here: "I am a new editor noting what I believe is rude and uncivil behavior by a more senior editor, in a reply to the specific comment that I believe was rude and uncivil." [101]. The RfC itself was full of suspected sock and meatpuppetry, and MN eventually weighed in on the WP:FRINGE side [102]. Since this issue regards race and intelligence, perhaps all is not what it seems with this editor? I don't edit in that area, but I am sure there must be some admins and regular editors who are familiar with the SPA and LTA players in that field around Feb 2023. Skyerise ( talk) 12:39, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
"I get that you apparently don't like the topic, but you are only here to hound me due to a disagreement elsewhere" is not the kindest of assumptions

Oh, and you're misgendering me.could be understood if you made known your gender identity to him/her.

This user has been received talk page pushback for some years for adding details to biographies and film articles which don't appear in the sources they're citing. They were
told in August 2023 that they appear to [be] making stuff up
. They're on a level 3 warning but a level 4 is likely to be too nuanced for AIV, so I'll raise it here now.
I've just cleared out the
John Carpenter and
John Carpenter's unrealized projects articles after finding that a
recent edit contained attributed quotes which simply didn't appear in the sources, or had been embellished; Carpenter does say A Dracula movie would be nice.
in a cited interview, but he does not go on to say And a movie called "John Carpenter's Dracula" would be nicer. Maybe we'll find out here soon.
to the point where Dracula can be listed as an "unrealized project". He does not say that a character in one of his films was flying like Interstellar or Ad Astra
, he says that they were flying interstellar
. In
this edit to Carpenter's biography the cited source does not say anything about Carpenter speaking about racism in rural Kentucky or how a meteor came out of the screen and blew up in my face
- and that phrase only appears once elsewhere online, in a
July 2024 magazine article that post-dates the edit and may have been taken in good faith from the Wikipedia article.
Some of this could be sloppy editing where they've pasted in the wrong cite URL, some could be writing from memory without checking that it's all in the source that they've chosen to cite, but in many cases they do seem to be actively fabricating quotations.

There is a personal attack
WP:ATTACK against me by Cyanmax's
Special:Diff/1235343355 summary edit RIP, old man.
Despite me just a simple contributor to LGBT rights in Taiwan about early Mainland China ROC period and currently now remainder of ROC after chinese civil war Taiwan, even after Cyanmax enters this article, during my correction edits after Special:Contributions/Cyanmax claim my use of WP:NOENG chinese source (both are even cited and remains still in chinese wiki, which explained normally in my summary edit and which Cyanmax refused to discuss and make massive reverts.
Thereafter even during my corrections on my usual involvement in LGBT Taiwan and South Korea, I had explained normally it in my edit summary.
At all times, Cyanmax seemed combative. Even after personal attack against me Special:Diff/1235343355, he re-revert back with ordinary but misleading summary edit Special:Diff/1235346624, which seemed unnecessary and shows he didn't admit his edit mistakes.
It's only I pointed out that his today edit was incorrect at incorrect section and also pointed his behaviors at Talk:#Legislative process & WP:BATTLEGROUND that he wishes me RIP as an old man. (I identified myself as gay boy, albeit 53, and do crossdresses at times). --- Cat12zu3 ( talk) 20:59, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Your age (which is far from ancient, you invoke it as though you were 103 instead of 53), your health, and your sexual orientation have nothing to do with your behavior. (I'm more than a decade older than you and I'm also gay so don't even try responding that I couldn't possibly understand a 53-year-old gay person's experience of Cyanmax's edits or of dealing with disagreement on Wikipedia.)

He has been reverted multiple times on Kunti, but the vandalism continues. [139], [140], [141]. Other pages affected Madri, Yuyutsu, Sahadeva, Nakula. This also seems to a sockpuppet.

Joefromrandb has been engaged in a content dispute alongside at least two other contributors and I regarding verifiable content on the article, Gino Jennings. They have been quite belligerent with their methods too, and it stems to their commentary on the talk page by using vulgar, combative language such as "happy horseshit" for starters. I began reverting them several times, but I do not wish to suffer punishment for a WP:EDITWAR. All of the information came from reputable sources, yet were removed for the sake of the person the article is named after self-identifying as what they ironically don't identify as. In sum, I left a warning on their talk page that stated, "Please stop. If you continue to censor or remove encyclopedic content based on the fact that it is offensive to some readers, as you did at Gino Jennings, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia is not censored, and attempts to censor encyclopedic content will be regarded as vandalism." It would seem, however, that they would rather be combative about this, as so many IP addresses and other accounts which apparently are Ginoites have done. - TheLionHasSeen ( talk) 13:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Wolffff vandalized A Grande Conquista 2 yesterday, changing its introduction from "A Grande Conquista 2 is the second season of the Brazilian reality television series A Grande Conquista, which premiered on Monday, April 22, 2024, on RecordTV." to "The big dick 328197 is the endless hundred two season of the nazist reality television series A Grande Conquista, which premiered on May 2, 1027 AD, on medieval Pornhub TV.", and then doing a series of illogical page moves on it until it ended up at the obvious nonsense title MediaWiki talk:Zjq0qlkqjqjab ?..
I've reverted and revdelled everything, so that the article is now back where it was and has the original introduction instead of the pornhubized one, but obviously the fact that this happened at all is a problem. However, given the contrast between this and their prior edit history up until now, which mainly comprised non-problematic wikignomery (including prior edits to the same article that didn't introduce anything about Nazis or Pornhub), I have no idea whether to file this under "good editor gone bad" or "good editor whose account got hacked", and I'm not an expert in investigating that sort of thing.
So wanted to ask if somebody could look into this and determine whether it's serious enough to warrant consequences or not, but also the page could probably use a few extra watchlisters just in case something like this gets tried again by that editor or somebody else. Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Anytime there’s a discussion involving an article that falls under GENSEX topics,
User:dtobias comes in and more or less just rants about the evil transgenders in a way that contributes nothing to the article’s talk page and only serves to espouse his views on trans rights. Examples include randomly going on rants about his general hatred and contempt for ‘trans activists’ in a way that has nothing to do with the page,
[142]
[143], how properly gendering trans people is newspeak,
[144], how trans people are comparable to people who think they’re literally Napoleon,
[145], and how the rise in gender critical beliefs is because “transgenderism” is no longer fringe
[146] - along with the occasional unnecessary comment in an otherwise relevant rant, such as The feminist movement includes all women, regardless of their identifications (as “transgender men” or any other label).
[147]
He also frequently either directly accuses or through a paper thin pretense accuses other editors of being trans activists without the wiki’s best interests at heart. This includes saying that properly gendering trans people in line with MOS:GENDERID is comparable to a Muslim user forcing his religious beliefs on Wikipedia, [148] and accusing users of trying to discount any source that’s not PinkNews even when the sources in question are very demonstrably unreliable and/or employ the use of anti-trans slurs. [149] [150] On at least one occasion, he has also made edits to GENSEX articles themselves, referring to trans women using he/him pronouns. [151]
A search of ANI and AE archives shows that he’s been to both before for much similar behavior on GENSEX topics, and has only been let off after promising to do better. [152] [153] I think it’s fair to say that he has not, and that this is behavior that a glance at his userpage seems to indicate some measure of pride in. Snokalok ( talk) 19:36, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Spotted this: https://swapd.co/t/6-year-aged-wikipedia-account-for-sale-4000-edits/555036. Yes, it's a two-year-old thread.
The account on the screenshots is UA3.
The account has been inactive lately, but a preventive block might be considered as its reactivation would fly under the radar.

This user has a poor grasp of English, yet insists on changing grammar on a wide array of articles. They are also on an apparent mission to go against WP:Red link. They will do things like improperly replace "this" with "the" and "these" with "they", and a favorite error is to needlessly use a person's full name in the body of a biographical article as well as change the proper use of their last name with informal and unencyclopedic use of their first name ( [154], [155], among others). The rest of their edits are littered with grammatical errors, and this bizarre interaction on my talk page speaks for itself. Talk page warnings are blanked and ignored, and their edit summaries are almost always a single-word non-sequitur. They clearly don't have a sufficient grasp of English to make the edits they make, and seem unwilling to acknowledge that. -- Sable232 ( talk) 14:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

24.125.98.89 was previously blocked multiple times for disruptive NOTHERE comments, most recently a three-month block in April that expired just recently. At their last ANI report, myself and others also expressed concern that, based on behavior, the IP could possibly be a sock of CBANned user LaserLegs, who himself was blocked for racist comments a while back.
As said previously, the three-month block expired on July 7. They shortly returned with some comments at Talk:Attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which, while semi-questionable in nature, aren't really block-worthy - that said, they followed that up today with this edit at ITNC, a former domain of LaserLegs, with this comment:
Students in Bangladesh fight for merit based employment while in the West radicalized anti-White marxists struggle to preserve hateful woke DEI exclusionary policies.
While in a vacuum I don't think one edit like this would be quite enough for another sanction, it's pretty clear they've learned absolutely nothing from prior blocks for this exact sort of thing - they've used up their entire WP:ROPE by this point. The Kip ( contribs) 15:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Not sure where to go with this, but it's it contentious topic and under arbitration enforcement, so here's as good as anywhere. This new editor dislikes the term "Armalite Rifle", and is editing the article to remove it and add their assertion that the term is a misconception. Neither part is being sourced, and sources on the page do indeed use "Armalite Rifle" as a term.
Since it's under enforcement, I'm obviously sticking at 1RR as the edit notice says. The other editor who reverted them has also stuck there. They, of course, have not.
Some further eyes, and perhaps a light tapping with a cluestick, would seem to be useful at this point so we don't end up having a big business over something so seemingly minor. 2A00:23C5:50E8:EE01:FDBB:D885:56F4:B3F5 ( talk) 15:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
