The user ] keeps removing all my contributions and first I tried not to take it personally but now I'm feeling hounded. I added contributions to some articles, added the sources and he removed all of my edits simply because he didn't like the sourced link. He suggested IMSLP, which doesn't even have information about the text I added. Now it's a back and forth of him removing my entire contributions, regardless of what's inside. Right now he's removing the one I had added after you told me to review it, which I did. https://en.wikipedia.org/Psycho_(1960_film)
He's moved onto every other revision I made and it's turning into an editing war. Please advise. ] (]) 14:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

:::The website does not appear to be the official publisher for any of these scores. For sure they are not the official publishers for the Herrmann and Shostakovich works that ] added the link to. The company that they cite to also appears to be brand new. I haven't looked through all of its catalog, but a lot of its scores do not appear to even be available for sale until next year. None of these works are obscure. So it's odd that this editor chooses to cite a very obscure music publisher.
:::Some of this user's edits are also perhaps unintentionally misleading. at '']'' suggested that the site they linked to was the first to publish the original score and parts. This would be incorrect, as previously existing sources in the article already confirm. —] (]) 16:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I am asking for your opinion on this subject because you were an admin that dealt with the ] against ]. Since the last recorded incidents from 2018, I noticed there were further potential sockpuppet accounts made since then, including the following:
I am retiring because I have a lot to work on in real life. Due to this I must also resign from my position as co-coordinator. I understand if you're frustrated; we've already had one user leave. But I just want to let you know, retiring from Misplaced Pages is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I've been thinking about retiring since the beginning of this month, in fact. I might return next summer, but I might not. Until that date, goodbye. ] ]/] 13:41, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

All of which display a notable overlap in edit style and choice of topic with ]. Although some have not been used recently, and the others have been recently blocked for personal attacks against other editors, my question is whether you think it is worth doing a checkuser on these accounts as sockpuppets of ]? If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as ] remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. ] (]) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

In case you didn't know, "Wikification" is the process of formatting articles using Wiki markup (as opposed to plain text or HTML) and adding internal links to material. Barnstars will be awarded to participating editors. Thanks!


Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at ] from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at ] declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at ] additionally, and I just reverted a removal at ] myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion. ] (]) 04:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes the map is interesting, but it argues on behalf of ''one side'' of the location dispute. The other side would say the map is a lie. Thanks for asking for "pending changes protection."

i am a university student and was tasked with creating a wikipedia page creating a new page in wiki pedia in the path of expanding information.
i choosed "interactive artificial intelligence" as my topic and used the article "Interactive AI With Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Next Generation Networking" written by Ruichen Zhang , Hongyang Du , Yinqiu Liu , Dusit Niyato , Jiawen Kang , Sumei Sun , Xuemin Shen , and H. Vincent Poor as a source but i was striked as advertisement ban the second time i tried to publish the article i got permanently ban.

Hello Diannaa,

I am not the original creator of the deleted page, but I am part of the team and we are working on reworking the Draft:European Magnetism Association page, which was previously deleted due to copyright concerns.

We are currently preparing a new draft with fully original content and I would like to ensure that it aligns with Misplaced Pages's guidelines. Could you kindly advise me on how best to proceed?

:The bot malfunctioned a bit at the start with indenting. I reverted the changes it made and then ran it again with the malfunction fixed. Also, a couple of users were in the list more than once, so they got the message several times. For future runs I've added a bit of code that will remove duplicates, so even if the list contains some, the bot won't deliver more than once. Apologies for the inconvenience. - ] <sup>]</sup> 03:31, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

==GOCE question==
One question here, may seem silly, but I dont understand how to list an article as complete and then have it removed from the list? Do i manually remove it from the list of some other way to do it? (this is my first month)(] (]) 05:54, 1 September 2010 (UTC)).
:To get the article off the list you need to remove the {{tp|copy edit}} tag from the article. It is usually at the top of the page and looks like this: <nowiki>{{Copyedit|date=November 2008}}</nowiki> Just delete that from the article and the article will automatically be removed from the copy edit backlog list.

:The tag may be included in a "multiple issues" group of tags. That would also be at the top of the page, and could look something like this:

:<nowiki>{{multiple issues|article=y|cleanup=November 2008|copyedit=November 2008|npov=November 2008|primarysources=November 2008|refimprove=November 2008|verylong=November 2008}}</nowiki>

:In that case you should find and remove the tags for the issues you were able to resolve. This again will remove the article from the appropriate categories and their associated lists. Hope this explains everything adequately. If not let me know. Thank you for your interest in participating in this project! Regards, --] <sup>(])</sup> 06:08, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

== New ] Feature ==

Hello! I have just added a new feature to ]. It is now possible to have the message delivered on behalf of a WikiProject instead of a specific user. The user who requested the delivery will still be visible in a comment, as well as in the welcome message given to a user if the bot is creating his talk page, however, the bot's edit summary and signature will use the WikiProjects name. To use this new feature, fill in the optional 'WikiProject Name' field when making a request (leave out the Misplaced Pages: namespace prefix). If this field is left blank, then your username will be used to sign requests, as the bot previously did. Happy editing!

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out by copyediting ] article.

== Hi == == Hi ==


Hello Diannaa: I'm Jean Mercier. I need your help. Some people accuse me of being a puppet of someone else who has my name. These people have weak evidence against me while I have already proven that I am not that guy. To make matters worse, they blocked me. Please help me. ] (]) 18:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Since I have no work or anything, I thought I'd stop by and say a quick hello. I probably won't be able to do this again for a while, because school is taking up more and more of my time. In fact, it's lucky I could even say hi today. How are you? ] (]) 21:27, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
:Hi! Hope school is going well. I have been busy trying to get the Requests list caught up before my vacation. There were several that people want to nominate for FA but no one grabbed them. I ended up picking up a Chicago Manual of Style so I can help get stuff to FA. There is more to the use of commas than you ever dreamed possible. I am leaving on my trip tomorrow and will not be back till the 13th. --] <sup>(])</sup> 21:52, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Do you call this copy editing? Im not sure but it seems to me like a little bit of manipulating article's information (when not concerning exactly the verbs) ;) --] (]) 22:07, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
:What you did goes a bit beyond copy editing. You added material and found sources for it, which is a disfferent task.

Why this is under Recent changes and not Watchlist, I have no idea...

== Your unnecessary (and inaccurate) message to me and your unwarranted revert ==

I'm not sure why you felt the need to write me that stuff, Dianna, as it's just the OPPOSITE. The other person in question is who is acting against WP policy reverted a MODIFICATION that I did. Which was not really warranted. So I simply undid it. ONE TIME.

where is the 'edit warring' by me, simply because I undid something once? How is Martynas not "edit warring" by reverting a good-faith and more neutral-sounding edit? (as you are doing now too) Explain that, please.

I see that you reverted it back to his blatant POV, which I'm puzzled as to why.

Why are you being a MEAT PUPPET for him, in violation of WP policy?

HE REVERTED A GOOD-FAITH EDIT, AND A GOOD MODIFICATION, SO HE COULD PUT BACK HIS BLATANT PRO-TRINITY STUFF ON A WP ARTICLE...WHERE IT DOES NOT BELONG.

I simply put in a modification, TO MAKE THE TONE LESS POV AND MORE NEUTRAL.

so what do you do? You revert what I did AGAIN, with the nonsense that "some maintain" is "weasel word" when it's NOT.


when has "some maintain" ever been considered by WP POLICY itself "weasel"? Huh??

what's against WP Policy is stating things that are in DISPUTE as incontrovertible fact. This idea that "the trinity doctrine was formulated before Nicaea" is SO in dispute, by many scholars, it's like not funny...

To say dogmatically on a WP article that "the trinity doctrine was formulated before Nicaea" is a MATTER OF OPINION. And is not accepted as historical or actual solid fact by all historians or scholars.

so why the big problem with "some maintain".


The "sources" thing in the rest of the paragraph that you mention has nothing to do with a blatantly biased POV statement right in the very first sentence! That should not really be there, if it's gonna be more neutral.



you say that "some maintain" is a weasel word, according to Misplaced Pages? ?? huh?



where do you get that from? It's simply a FACT. Some believe that the trinity doctrine came before Nicaea, BUT NOT ALL DO.


'''Not all scholars believe that.''' So why would you be ok with leaving that point out? What's with you? YOU are engaging in an edit war by revering good-faith modifications, which was NOT vandalism, NOT "weasel"ish (weird how you would see it that way) and NOT inaccurate.


SOME believe this "before Nicaea" idea, BUT NOT ALL. So what's the problem in making the tone more neutral and objective, and less dogmatic?? The only ones "edit warring" are you and Martynas. I simply made a good-faith modification for more neutrality, that you mis-characterize as "weasel" (!!??!), and that you and the other editor are disrespectfully reverting, against WP policy. Only real vandalism should be reverted. "Some maintain" is NOT a 'weasel word' and never has been. But is simply a neutral statement of fact. Take it to the talk page. Thank you ] (]) 22:41, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

User undid all my contributions

The user user:CurryTime7-24 keeps removing all my contributions and first I tried not to take it personally but now I'm feeling hounded. I added contributions to some articles, added the sources and he removed all of my edits simply because he didn't like the sourced link. He suggested IMSLP, which doesn't even have information about the text I added. Now it's a back and forth of him removing my entire contributions, regardless of what's inside. Right now he's removing the one I had added after you told me to review it, which I did. https://en.wikipedia.org/Psycho_(1960_film) He's moved onto every other revision I made and it's turning into an editing war. Please advise. John40332 (talk) 14:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

It looks like all the additions use www.sheetmusicx.com as a citation. Do you have any assocuation with that website? --Diannaa (talk) 15:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I don't, they're the only publisher releasing those works, that's why information about those pieces is so scarce. John40332 (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
The website does not appear to be the official publisher for any of these scores. For sure they are not the official publishers for the Herrmann and Shostakovich works that John40322 added the link to. The company that they cite to also appears to be brand new. I haven't looked through all of its catalog, but a lot of its scores do not appear to even be available for sale until next year. None of these works are obscure. So it's odd that this editor chooses to cite a very obscure music publisher.
Some of this user's edits are also perhaps unintentionally misleading. This edit at Tahiti Trot suggested that the site they linked to was the first to publish the original score and parts. This would be incorrect, as previously existing sources in the article already confirm. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
The "obscure" publisher has been in business for over a decade and is a respectable publisher
https://daniels-orchestral.com/other-resources/publishers/s/
Their publishings go back to 2010 https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Search?q=STRAUSS&num=25&start=0&enviro=prod&DateBucket=2010-2019%7C2010&DataSource=Library

The website registration shows 2010 in fact https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

I don't know why you specifically have to be convinced of it in order for edits to stick, but I'm done even trying, just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's fake or dubious, it's people like you that make editing on Misplaced Pages so unpleasant. John40332 (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
You need to discuss this somewhere else please. Diannaa (talk) 16:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
The user:CurryTime7-24 continues harassing me and WP:HOUNDING, if I edit 4 articles he goes right there to undo what I edit, regardless of the content, you just have to see his history where he goes around reverting whatever I touch. Now he is trying to report me as a bot, when I'm clearly not one. At this point I'd like to know if there's a way to stop him from interacting with my edits, or some temporary block on him? He's making editing on Misplaced Pages very unfriendly and acts like he owns it WP:OWN. I cited proper sources in my edits, I don't know why he's been targeting me but it's exhausting. John40332 (talk) 09:44, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
This is already being discussed at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Classical music and Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Sorry but I don't have time to get involved. It's an edit war orver the reliability of a particular website, and I don't have time to get into that.--Diannaa (talk) 13:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Backendgaming sockpuppets

Hi Diannaa, I am asking for your opinion on this subject because you were an admin that dealt with the SPI case against Backendgaming. Since the last recorded incidents from 2018, I noticed there were further potential sockpuppet accounts made since then, including the following:

All of which display a notable overlap in edit style and choice of topic with Backendgaming. Although some have not been used recently, and the others have been recently blocked for personal attacks against other editors, my question is whether you think it is worth doing a checkuser on these accounts as sockpuppets of Backendgaming? If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as Backendgaming remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. 37.0.81.237 (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know mich about this topic. Please go to Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Backendgaming to file your report. Thanks, Diannaa (talk) 11:52, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikizilla; copyright or not?

Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at Shin Godzilla (character) from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at Tiamat (Godzilla) declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at Kong (Monsterverse) additionally, and I just reverted a removal at User:GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion.
