Hello!

Apparently 2 days ago I forgot to login and edited with my IP something which was deemed "disruptive". I tried to find what was the edit but I didn't see anything on the contribution page of the IP, so I'm writing to you to know what was it that I wrote that was disruptive mainly because I'm curious but also in order to try and be a better Wikipedia user, since everything I've edited I've done it in good faith and trying to be as impartial as possible.

Respectfully looking forward to your reply,

Hi SuperBaroni. I can't answer that definitively as I cannot see what your IP address is. However, I can tell you that over the last week or so I have had to issue several blocks covering wide ranges of IP addresses due to IP hopping vandals or pervasive disruption of other sorts within the range. It is entirely possible that your IP was caught in one of those range blocks. Usually when I impose a wide range block on anonymous editing, I leave open the possibility for constructive editors to create an account which allows them to contribute to the project. I see that you have done that. I will drop a welcome template on your talk page shortly. Happy editing. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240630173100","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20240630173100-SuperBaroni-20240630171400","replies":["c-SuperBaroni-20240630220000-Ad_Orientem-20240630173100"]}}-->

Thanks for your reply!

Sadly I don't know how to find my IP since the message that my IP was banned stopped appearing after I logged in, but I think what you said is indeed entirely possible. I created this account 5 months ago although I haven't been very active to say the truth. Lastly , I want to thank you for the template and also for taking time to reply so fast.

@Myrealnamm Thank you for the kind words. AIV, like all parts of the project, has a learning curve. But it's not steep. Basically it boils down to just naked vandalism or obvious spamming. Some kind of formal warning is generally expected except in very rare cases. Most other forms of disruption are handled at ANI or SPI. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:33, 1 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240701173300","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20240701173300-Myrealnamm-20240701172200","replies":[]}}-->

Hi there. I decided to put this report here only because you already sort of familiar with the vandal in question...

A while ago you have blocked IP vandal 2403:6200:88A7:8107:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · block user · block log) for three months, after discussion at FOOTY Wikiproject. Well, three months passed and he's back the very second the block expired. In addition, I'm pretty sure he also edits as EmaisumadoDM, and previously was SouDiogoODidi (who's blocked for vandalism and sockpuppetry).

@BlameRuiner I've indeffed EmaisumadoDM as a likely sock of Paytchamanon. 2403:6200:88A7:8107:0:0:0:0/64 blocked x 2 years for disruptive editing (likely also Paytchamanon).

@Drmies This isn't time sensitive, but when you have a few minutes could you take a look at the above users. I'm pretty confident in the block but it never hurts to get a confirmation. Beyond which, I would not be at all surprised if Paytchamanon has other accounts that have not been detected. I know you can't investigate the IP range. Their disruptive editing alone is enough for my comfort level in the block. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240711014900","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20240711014900-Ad_Orientem-20240711012900","replies":["c-Drmies-20240712164700-Ad_Orientem-20240711014900"]}}-->

Hi again. I hope you're doing well. I only ask you this because you have previously interacted with the said user. So, this first started at the article Mephisto (song); there was confusion over what the standard edition cover was. At the time, they used the argument that the digital edition cover is more well-known than the standard edition, so it should be placed first. Now i explained this in the edit summaries and later on on the article's talk page. They didn't reply, and i took it as they now understood it, except that they didn't.
Now there's a similar issue at Idol (Yoasobi song). They have yet again used the same argument here and here before later slightly rewording it to this and this. They partially dropped the argument of well-known covers going before other covers but are now using google translation over common sense and the reliable sources i linked to on the article's talk page. Acknowledging that they were at least discussing it now, I again explained it on the article's talk page. I had hopes that they would now understand it, but they don't. I had reverted them again, a third revert in total, and have not reverted since, but could you please ask him to stop that? Obviously, they have reverted in return, and they don't talk. The discussion is not very long, and i have already provided the relevant sources on the talk pages, so it wouldn't take much time to cross-check. Thank you if you do find the time to look into this.

Oh, and if you'd recall the discussion friendly user, Ss112, who previously brought up a discussion regarding me on your talk page, apparently, they now see fit to provide an insight for the discussion after the fuss they created last time and what we were suggested when you closed the discussion. Not to mention the absurd reasoning they are using—to me, at least. I believe what I'm asking is not very out of the norm or complex. All that i ask is that the standard physical edition cover be placed before the digital-only edition. Not to mention how Pepe is not even acknowledging that a standard edition exists despite the reliable sources i linked and the clear-cut explanation i have provided.

@Lunar-akaunto This sound like a content dispute, which should be handled in the normal way. I know very little about music as a subject matter and so do not typically get involved in those discussions. If you believe PB is edit warring or editing against consensus then a warning might be justified. That's where I would start. You might also ask for input from experienced editors in that subject area. Sorry, this likely not as helpful as you would prefer. However, at the moment I am not seeing enough to justify admin intervention. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240713154400","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20240713154400-Lunar-akaunto-20240713044100","replies":["c-Lunar-akaunto-20240713180500-Ad_Orientem-20240713154400"]}}-->

I see. I have already tried to solve this the normal way, but what can i do if he's just contradicting himself and refusing to talk? Leaving this aside, I believe a gentle message to respond when questioned about his edits wouldn't hurt. Communication is necessary, right? I don't specifically know any guidelines that restrict doing this, but he often alters existing reference headlines, and in doing so, he also changes the access-dates of the same to that of the day he edits on; surely that's not appropriate, right? Again, all of this could be solved easily if he just communicates. I feel bad bringing this up elsewhere other than his talk page as well, but again, he just doesn't talk. He's been around here for more than a decade, so I don't understand why he does this. Perhaps it's a language barrier?

Does this count as an RS by Wikipedia standards? Possibly it can support the fact that the husband of Dorothy Kilgallen, Richard Kollmar, portrayed Boston Blackie in that radio series from 1945 to 1950. Dorothy’s article has the wrong years. On that website, scroll down until you see airdates of episodes that span 1945 to 1950. Is it a blog?

Hi Brent Brant. That's a private website, not much different from a blog. We have no way of knowing what, if any, level of editorial oversight and fact-checking there is. As such I am afraid it would not pass muster as a reliable source. I suspect that it is likely accurate. But I can't be sure. We would need a better source.

This New York Times obituary for Richard Kollmar mentions Boston Blackie but does mention a time frame for his participation in it. The version with him was not the first radio version. To access another obituary for Richard Kollmar, I must go to Newspapers.com. When he died, two New York City newspapers existed aside from the NY Times. Newspapers.com has one of the two. When his wife Dorothy Kilgallen had died, the New York Journal-American had gone into great detail about her career. She was employed by them. They considered her death to be very, very newsworthy. The Journal-American survived her by five months. Richard Kollmar was a widower, then remarried. When he died, the Journal-American was not there to provide exact years for this radio show and that radio show. His death was not very newsworthy.

Hello Ad Orientem, I'm contacting you in regards to a possible sockupuppet. There is a user named "Darthnote" who primarily edits track listings in music articles. Their track record of editing is eerily similar to a banned user named "EmeraldWicket9947". Throughout the years "EmeraldWicket9947" has created multiple accounts that are now blocked/banned. Whenever this user creates a new account they target music articles and edit track listings/album covers. A few accounts made by "EmeraldWicket9947" includes "Friendlyhelper9949". I might be wrong but could you look into this and see if "Darthnote" is "EmeraldWicket9947" A.K.A.

Hello. I had a question on if these IP ranges from Mexico should receive a long term block from Wikipedia. Since June of 2023, anonymous users from these ranges have been making disruptive edits to biography articles. These edits are usually: unexplained changes to birth years [1] [2] [3], addition of unsourced content [4] [5], and removal of sourced content [6] [7] [8]. The page I have seen most targeted by these anonymous users is Brandon Peniche. Despite receiving multiple blocks in the past they have continued their vandalism and I believe it is the same person making these edits. I thought of asking you personally since I have seen that you were the admin who has issued the most blocks to these ranges. Thank you.

Hello! I got an email a couple days ago from an indefinitely blocked editor who used to frequent Catholic articles. They advised me to be wary of what they perceived as possible disruption a novice editor. While I did notice a couple minor issues in this new editor's recent contributions (nothing significant), it did raise a question: if I independently identify problematic behavior not rising to blatant vandalism, but I only do so because of a tip submitted by a blocked editor, is intervening a violation of WP:PROXY? I've submitted a reply to the blocked editor to voice my concern regarding the limitations of PROXY, but I figured an admin with experience in the subject area might offer more sound guidance. My current belief is that I ought not interfere with the novice editor, given that their edits appear to be genuinely in good faith and aren't so significantly disruptive as to require more comprehensive intervention. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240708214700","author":"Pbritti","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Pbritti-20240708214700-Question_about_WP:PROXYING","replies":["c-Ad_Orientem-20240708215400-Pbritti-20240708214700"]}}-->

@Pbritti I think that WP:COMMONSENSE should apply here. If a blocked editor is asking you to make changes to an article on their behalf or !vote a certain way in a community discussion, that would be a no no. On the other hand, if you get a tip about a problematic editor, even if it is coming from a dubious source, I think you are entirely justified in having a look. Preventing vandalism or other forms of obvious disruption takes precedence over questions about who "dropped the dime." If you believe there are concerns, but not enough to warrant any sort of admin intervention, leaving a friendly note on the new editors talk page is almost always a good first step.

@Pbritti WP:OWH is a really gray are and one I have little experience with. As such, I couldn't give an opinion w/o knowing details. That said, and speaking in very general terms, I would say that anyone you have been in conflict with on the project who is doing any combination of the following could be crossing the line...

• Unwanted private communications.
• Personal attacks that go beyond mere criticism. Think egregious insults, slurs, casting aspersions, etc.
• Doxing whether successful or not.
• Soliciting others to lobby or harass you either on wiki or off.

Greetings, I'm puzzled by the wholesale removal of content from articles in response to the now deleted 'american communist party' article. For example:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Plymouth,_Pennsylvania&diff=prev&oldid=1236251949
  • Samuel John Brokenshire doesn't cease to exist as a person simply because the link to the american communist party no longer exists.

Hi Ad Orientem. Before the article that was deleted at AfD was created, American Communist Party redirected to Communist Party USA, which seems to be used in reliable sources.

@10mmsocket I don't generally spend a lot of time at SPI. But I will note that two of those ranges have not edited in over 5 days, so it's likely that that no action will be possible there. Still it might be a good idea to create a sub page with known or suspected ip/ranges that they have used in the past for block evasion. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240725174600","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20240725174600-10mmsocket-20240725174100","replies":[]}}-->

Hey AO. I'm confident BlaccCrab is back using NotLikeUs92. Edit summaries like this and topics (primarily hip hop and then the Sum 41 articles)—still updating Mustard production discography here like they did on BlaccCrab are a clear giveaway.

You recently blocked Dnotob for 48 hours - I'm not here to dispute that. But If you hadn't noticed, I thought that I would draw your attention to the fact that all the citations on their recently created article (which I have redirected for now) were nonexistent. The links are all 404, and I can find no evidence that these articles actually exist at other URLs. I suspect this is a case of pasting in content generated by ChatGPT or some similar LLM service.

there was a recent WP:ANI discussion regarding the topic about editors using bare URLs as citation in Hurricane Beryl page, but the topic was changed into the fact that the current satellite imagery was used for the Image of Beryl, and it was eventually decided it was breaking the NOTNEWS policy.

Would I be correct in assuming that your reduction of the draftspace partial block on 2600:1006:a131::/48 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from one year to two weeks was inadvertent, since most of the disruption there is actually in mainspace and therefore unaffected?

Hi AO. See my pings on User talk:Kingofthewetcats. This user has violated WP:BRD. They said on the article talk page their edits don't violate any rules, I pointed them to the guideline they're violating, then they blanked my talk page messages on the article talk page twice [9] [10]. Now reverting unrelated edits of mine to the article. I think a short block may be in order as this user is basically out of control. They're still reverting unrelated edits: [11], [12] and still blanking warnings for edit warring.

Hi! On 23 August you blocked 216.209.197.108 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) for 31 hours for disruptive editing. Since that block expired, the editor has continued making the same kinds of edits, such as strange unexplained name changes (changing "Jewish" to "Judaic", "Yashua" to "Yahushua", etc), original research on etymology here and here, and unsourced POV edits like calling Sindh "the Homeland of Paki-Hinduism". Most of their edits have been reverted and few if any have been constructive. They have never replied to any of the numerous warnings on their talk page. Could you take a look and decide if a longer block is warranted? Thanks.

Hi Ad Orientem,

Back in June this year, you blocked the IP range 95.151.19.0/24 for one month for disruptive editing. However, after that rangeblock has expired in July, they have continued to make a lot of false info changes/additions to various music articles. Almost none of the edits since then have been productive. I think we need another, longer rangeblock here?

Hello, while not certain, I do believe (after a bit of digging on the meaning of the word added to the page) that https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Max_Schachmann&diff=prev&oldid=1244833981 is probably worthy of a revdel.

Hey there – hope you're doing well. Just reaching out regarding the activity at Coldplay – unfortunately another edit war broke out within an hour of your full protection expiring, and there's still been no attempt at resolution via the talk page by any of the involved editors, despite a couple of us trying to open up discussions; I tried to get the article protected again in the hope that it would force GustavoCza in particular to discuss, but it was declined. I know it's been quiet for a few hours, but given the lack of any participation, figured I'd just bring it to your attention as the protecting admin in case you wanted to get involved again rather than (for example) go through ANI within 36 hours of the last thread closing; thanks. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 12:34, 10 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240910123400","author":"4TheWynne","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-4TheWynne-20240910123400-Coldplay","replies":["c-Ad_Orientem-20240910154400-4TheWynne-20240910123400"]}}-->

@Ad Orientem: My bad in not clearly providing a rationale for the recreation here and for Koi... Mil Gaya 3. Let me elaborate, while these rds were deleted per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 August 24#Koi Mil Gaya 3 that was mostly due to non-participation by anyone primarily due to the fact that the RfD discussion for very similar rds was incorrectly nominated and split into three. The major discussions happened at the relisted Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 August 31#Krish 1 and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 August 31#Koi Mil Gaya 2 both of which consider the same numbered rds for this very film series and both of which passed; and also involved a discussion of these (Koi... Mil Gaya 3 and Koi Mil Gaya 3) redirects, I would have commented there and linked to those discussions further but was unaware of their separate listing. To not have series rds only for this film from the series would appear unfair in light of those discussions. Please look into those discussion and see if these rds can be redirect (I think they should), thanks.

@Gotitbro I am not going to take sides in this dispute. The bottom-line is that these redirects were deleted following a proper discussion and you are basically recreating them because you disagree with the decision. I suggest you open a discussion at WP:DRV. You may have a legitimate argument here. But that will need ratification via some form of community discussion to override the RfD. I am going to move this discussion to my talk page and delete this talk page which I evidently missed last night. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:30, 11 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240911153000","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-20240911153000-Gotitbro-20240911115000","replies":[]}}-->

Hi there. When reviewing WP:AEL, I saw Mark Robinson was listed twice after you expanded protection to ECP. To keep it all together, I moved your comment to be with the prior protection. Just letting you know, as I'd imagine editting logs is normally disfavored. Thanks for your understanding. --Policy Reformer(c) 02:56, 20 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240920025600","author":"PolicyReformer","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-PolicyReformer-20240920025600-Moved_your_CTOP_AP_log_at_WP:AEL_re:_Mark_Robinson","replies":["c-Ad_Orientem-20240920041500-PolicyReformer-20240920025600"],"displayName":"Policy"}}-->

Hi! On 31 August I mentioned to you the disruptive behavior of 216.209.197.108 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and you blocked them for 2 weeks the same day. They have now reappeared on a new IP, 207.236.13.191 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). This is clearly the same editor, making the same strange name changes in the same Judaism-related articles ("Judah" to "Judaea" and "Jehudah", "Israelite" to "Israeli" and "Palestinian", etc.) and edit-warring their changes when reverted. As with the previous IP, they have never replied to a talk page message. I wonder if you could take a look at this? Thanks!

Sorry to bother you again, but it appears that this editor is now evading their block by hopping to IP 207.236.13.187 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Even ignoring the fact that the IP address is so similar, they are making similar edits in the same or closely related articles; for example see this edit on Palestinian rabbis, which again shows the same idiosyncratic name changes: Israelites to Israelis, Jewish to Judaic, etc. CodeTalker (talk) 01:10, 21 September 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240921011000","author":"CodeTalker","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-CodeTalker-20240921011000-CodeTalker-20240917162100","replies":["c-Ad_Orientem-20240921011400-CodeTalker-20240921011000"]}}-->
