While patrolling Commons, I discovered that the account Watercolorsoul had been editing Azède Jean-Pierre with an undisclosed COI, so I reverted them

They reverted me back, and are now resorting to creating an obvious sockpuppet (see history)

Mind to block the two accounts? I'm at the 3RR limit; thanks :) Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 08:43, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

@Whyiseverythingalreadyused for sock activity, please report to WP:SPI. I have protected the page for the time being. – robertsky (talk) 11:04, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi I was adding citations to edit Azède Jean-Pierre. I don't understand why @Whyiseverythingalreadyused is reporting this page for adding citations. Everything on the page is correct and now cited. I believe they are trying to win an argument - when there was nothing wrong with the information on the page to begin with. Can you please remove the simi-block on the account so that others can edit them. I don't understand why there is an issue or why this user @Whyiseverythingalreadyused would advocate for blocking other accounts for editing. RainRiverWater (talk) 11:23, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

@RainRiverWater I suggest that you do a very careful read on the messages left on your talk pages and go through the links there. Your response here is trying to win an argument, not the other editors patrolling the article. Putting a page protection is meant to limit disruptive editing until you sort the issues out with them and I trust that the established editors restrain themselves accordingly.

The information you put is actually promotional and advertorial. Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising and promotional activities/writing. – robertsky (talk) 12:21, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

All of the information I put is cited. I honestly don't understand the issue when the information is all accurate and cited. I can find articles that call her innovative and say "Called innovative or Next big thing" by Style.com if you prefer. These editors could have easily sent me a message to add a citation but to add a block for adding citations seems to me like trying to win an argument, I don't understand the reasoning otherwise. RainRiverWater (talk) 12:32, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

@RainRiverWater I have combed through your recent edits and made some adjustments accordingly. WP:PEACOCK: which quickly gained recognition. which has garnered international acclaim, prestigious fashion weeks WP:PROMOTIONAL: azedejeanpierre.com (as a reference) can be inserted as an external link instead. You will need a separate reference to indicate her consulting work.

There are some references that look ok, but the overall editing activity is very telling that you may have at least a conflict of interest with the subject, be it paid or unpaid.

The page protection again is for making promotional edits in a disruptive behaviour, not only from you, but from the other editor, not for adding citations. If you have suggestions on what citations to add, feel free to put them on the article talk page through edit requests for the moment. – robertsky (talk) 12:47, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

I am just adding citations to a well know American designer page. There really is no need to attack me. RainRiverWater (talk) 12:56, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

An attack on you would be along the lines of "You <some expletive>. Get out of here." Not doing that, aren't I? – robertsky (talk) 13:02, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Is there anything I can do to be allowed to stop you guys from blocking these citations or adding these already copy written images? Honestly, why did you have to go this far. Why not just let me know how to make the correctings. Why do all of this? I am not trying to argue or fight with anyone. Can you help me instead? RainRiverWater (talk) 13:29, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

@RainRiverWater the relevant advice have been given here and on the article talk page. Please follow them accordingly. – robertsky (talk) 13:35, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

You have just removed all of the citation that I worked hard to research and tag. I truly don't understand why that was necessary, can you replace all of those citations? RainRiverWater (talk) 13:01, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

For example, the line you just removed: "Azède Jean-Pierre label which has garnered international acclaim and has been showcased at prestigious fashion weeks including New York and Paris." has a citation. What about this is inaccurate? If you want to remove the word prestigious to describe the two fashion weeks, (im not sure why that would be considered peacocking) then please just remove the word but why delete the full sentence with the citation as well? RainRiverWater (talk) 12:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

@RainRiverWater please read the peacock page, yeah? gained international acclaim is not in the citation. one could also be in the fashion weeks and somehow miss the mark. we don't need to describe the fashion weeks as prestigious. that's not in the citation. the removal is a partial reversion. I am still assessing. – robertsky (talk) 13:01, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

What is the reasoning for removing the images? I honestly don't understand why the image of the designer and an image of from her collaboration with Gucci is being removed? RainRiverWater (talk) 13:06, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

@RainRiverWater clearly you are not reading the messages on the talk page, uh? – robertsky (talk) 13:09, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

WOW, okay Forget it, you guys win. I give up. This was way too hard and i'm not sure why it had to be this way. It like a gang-up bulling job by @Whyiseverythingalreadyused and the other editors jumped in to help him. Read the comment he left me on the talk page. It was truly uncalled for and unnecessay. RainRiverWater (talk) 13:17, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Nobody said it is easy. You want the promotional content on here, make sure you put in the same amount of work that other volunteer editors do to ensure that the content is up to par, and some more. – robertsky (talk) 13:25, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

There was nothing promotional about it, you didn't like the use one one or two words and deleted it most of the content. It was all properly cited, yet you removed it all anyway. RainRiverWater (talk) 13:32, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

@RainRiverWater The content and citations you inserted don't really match. While you were bemoaning the temporary loss of editing access or how hostile it seems to you, I have been working on the article, trying to work with what you had provided as references. It would have been more fruitful if you had just provided the other references on the talk page like I had suggested. Now that my time is up for this article, it will take a while before I will turn back my attention on the article. – robertsky (talk) 13:40, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Robert, I think they tricked you into doing Wikipedia:Buy one, get one free

Hi, Robertsky. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the § Survey when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 06:40, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Exsap came back again after a long absence, and the first thing they did was to fake reconciliation

They made five unsourced edits in a row at Guards (Singapore Army), and also made one at List of marines and similar forces

I initially wanted to AGF, but found upon an examination of this edit summary that they were using false edit summaries

When I reverted them stating that they were lying, they reverted back alleging... "due embellishment of SAF units capabilities under international standards, the Guards are airmobile and cannot perform opposed amphibious landing"

I reverted them again, and I don't want to get myself blocked by turning this into a full-on MMORPG-style edit war Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 03:28, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

@Whyiseverythingalreadyused the best is to report to WP:AN3 for edit warring issues for immediate attention. While I am responding to you now, I just got up and it is 5.30am here for me, therefore not in the condition to look the issue. – robertsky (talk) 03:32, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Ah... you're on holiday, I bet

I'll see about that Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 03:32, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

No, I don't think that worked out

They went to vandalise my Special:Contributions (diff 1, diff 2, diff 3, diff 4, diff 5) Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 08:45, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

@Whyiseverythingalreadyused again, I am in a different time zone for now, please have another admin look at the issue at the relevant noticeboard(s). – robertsky (talk) 16:40, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

How do I create a page for myself lmao, i have a joke i wanna continue among a server of friends --Alternativekidalan (talk) 23:31, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Robertsky, I'm a WP:COI editor for the Group-IB page, and I would like to request for your help in correcting multiple inaccuracies on our page. Since the page was created, it has been subjected to multiple attempts on vandalism.

The current copy states that Group-IB "spun-off" it's Russian operations, and that Group-IB still operates in Russia under the F.A.C.C.T name. This is untrue, since Reuters reported that the our CEO Dmitry Volkov sold his entire 10% stake in the Russian business, and that F.A.C.C.T is a stand-alone company. The same article also mentions that Ilya Sachkov sold his 37.5% stake in Group-IB, which means that he no longer has any ownership stake in Group-IB's business.

Do let me know how i can work with you on this. Really appreciate your time and thank you! DL02042024 (talk) 07:52, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@DL02042024 Wikipedia is based on secondary sources. If there are any other information published, you can use that to justify that the operations remained under their control. Also as a COI editor, it is best that you request for edits to be made on the talk page. See Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance. – robertsky (talk) 08:33, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks @Robertsky. I actually send multiple sources to other editors before, but it was never corrected and somehow it keeps stating that we still operate in Russia, or that F.A.C.C.T is a spin-off or subsidiary of Group-IB (Which it isn't).

Other sources include:

TechCrunch: With its exit from Russia complete, Group-IB plans its US expansion

TechInAsia: SG cybersecurity firm exits Russian market

Interfax: Ilya Sachkov withdraws from Group-IB international business, maintains stake in Russian legal entity with changed brand

I have been requesting for help from many editors since 2024, but there's been very little progress in correcting the inaccuracies. DL02042024 (talk) 09:07, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
