Removing Ass soda

Hi, why did you delete my page? I made a real page and did not mean to do any vandalism. This is a real delivery driver for Uber Eats.

209.250.175.169 block

Hi i dont know whats your Problem not every Source is from the internet first of all im by myself from Skorobiste and my sources are books and informations from the archive Historia e Shkolles Skorobishte, and Monografia Skorobište all i write is true and all those people names are ancestors of some families in skorobista, and its true that the most families are of albanian origin, qlso the facts about 1958 1966 after the world war 2 are true all those names of people who are killed are facts! so i dont understand what for source you need? and why you have to delete informations?

You mean 209.250.175.169 and Hellocat99 are the same person?UnsungHistory(Questions?) (Did I mess up?)00:41, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The IP and Hellocat99 are not the same user. The ip 209.250.175.169 operates onOakville, Ontario.Hellocat99's IP is 135.26.120.92, which is based inConroe, Texas.I know this because both the ip and accounts add racist, antisemitic, and homophobic slurs on multiple semi-protected pages since 8/3/23.

If you have a moment...

could you perhaps look into what has gone on at theEnneagram of Personalitypage today, primarily in its History section? (Asking because in an earlier season, I was impressed by your work in various contexts.) We believe that the carte blanche reversion was too easy of a response, and threw baby out with the bath. We have no opinion on larger matters at that article—we simply found gross misuse of sources, and rampant WP:OR. We are now accused of editorialising, and of OR ourselves, which simply staggers us.

We won't further egage the reverting editor, as we see no point. But the article is not better for having been returned to its earlier state.

[To start, look for the quoted word "remedies" in the Wiltse citation (you will not find it, to aid that, here is aURL for that,which was lacking in the article), and then look to see if the citation of the "Brandon Medina" blog (actually by author = Medina, Brandon) does not point to a source that states the opposite of what the reverted article now again suggests. And the scholarly unraveling goes on from there.]

It is our view that the original edit, which was accepted by a registered editor—the article is protected, we do not know whom—should have been allowed to stand, and not reverted by a single editor objecting to the two of us. We suspect bias against us as a non-registered editor.

Surely, some editing of the product should follow. But reversion, so the errors that existed before our edit be returned—we suggest that pursuing that course was the poorest of options, for the sake of a quality article. The edits were not vandalism, were not editorial, and were not WP:OR (as claimed in the all too brief reverting edit summary). Cheers.71.239.132.212(talk)05:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IPv6 disruption atTalk:Datta dynasty

Hi, Material, merry Christmas! Could you maybe do a rangeblock that covers the IPv6's atTalk:Datta dynasty?It's getting ridiculous, and I started listing the /64's that would be needed to stop it (since that is the limit of my understanding of IPv6 ranges), but gave up. Perhaps a long page-block of a much bigger range would be the best?Bishonen|tålk 04:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Editor misusing dashes dismissive of requests to learn

Hello. I have been attempting to getKencf0618on board withour Manual of Style guidance regarding the use of dashesfor 3 weeks now, and no matter how many times they tell me they're "chagrined" (1stand2ndthread), they continue to misuse them and even replacegooddashes with bad ones. I have asked nicely, asked less nicely and issued a direct warning that their continued misuse effectively constitutes vandalism (willfully editing contrary to consensus), but checking if the "sorry" in response to my final warning had meant anything useful,I found it had not.A week after first discussing this with them, and being told that they'd fix their previous errors, I regex searched for their most common pattern, and put a decent amount of time intocorrecting the many I found,but I was playing catch-up. I won't follow this editor around indefinitely fixing every case, so they need to be stopped, but I also recognise that this ignorance isn't blatantly malicious (they do enjoy inserting inappropriate flowery phrases here and there though, when plain English would have been obviously preferable) and they just need to be put straight by someone with some clout, since my efforts have fallen on deaf ears. Hopefully this is enough information for you to make sense of the situation, but please ask for clarification if needed. Thank you.Fred Gandt·talk·contribs09:56, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Old page move

Good day Materialscientist! Back in 2021, you movedOshana RegiontoOshana,undoing a 2009 page move. I cannot find any discussion about this. I would like to undo this, as a) all other regions of Namibia end in "Region", b) its name is so defined by theGovernment of Namibia,and c) "Oshana" means something on its own: it is a shallow flood plain after which the region is named.

I came here to post a message saying "I know it was a long time ago, but why on earth did you dothis?When I got here I saw the message above. Both of these are clearly cases of acting without adequate care. Heaven knows that I have done similar things myself, and worse, but over the years I have built up an impression that you do it disproportionately often, compared to most editors. It seems to me that your prodigious edit count (close to 2 million) is to a large extent achieved by hasty actions without spending the necessary time to check properly before taking action. I don't suppose I have much chance of persuading you to slow down and take more care, but perhaps you may consider it.JBW(talk)22:35, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JBW:Materialscientist likely believed that the user was deleting content under thepretextof "removing troll content", as many unregistered and new users make their edits seem like something they are not (an example would be the "fixed typo" edit summary).
