@PhilKnight As I had reply to Aoidh at their talk page on the same cross-posted topic. It's truly lovely to have WP:ASPERSIONS and WP:PERSONALATTACKS to start 2025.

On the same article, the inline citation 48 nor 49 doesn't explicity stated that it's awarded for Lovely Runner either, further evidencing that my edit was aligned with Misplaced Pages's policies. On List of awards and nominations received by Byeon Woo-seok, believed to be related to this discussion which our dear editor couldn't give me any acceptable neutral explanation to restore their preferred layout and also likely related to this edit reverting their incorrect updates to the Infobox's count by going against the documentation. In addition, rather perplexing that it was such a thing to discuss first for non-controversial edits when the edits made were per WP:BOLD and didn't requires WP:CONSENSUS. Lastly, where exactly was the ASPERSIONSly the WP:3RR violations and/or "edit warring" violation on either articles???

Edit warring on Battle of Sidi Brahim

M.Bitton who you recently blocked continues to engage in edit warring on other articles, particularly on Battle of Sidi Brahim where he is persistently disrupting Robinvp11's contributions. He is also being hostile on the talk page, which shows that he is treating editing as a battleground. Surely this warrants a stricter block? 185.165.190.128 (talk) 00:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I know of at least one highly disruptive sock (obsessed with me and certain articles, such as Dominican Restoration War and Dominican War of Independence) who is from the same geolocation as you. For the rest, the article's talk page speaks for itself. M.Bitton (talk) 00:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Looking further in the socking, it looks like Norprobr and Phạm Văn Rạng could well be one and the same. M.Bitton (talk) 00:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
I don't see evidence of serious edit warring. The sock puppet investigations will be actioned by other admins. PhilKnight (talk) 05:14, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Since the IP is hiding behind a proxy (blocked by Bbb23), then they could be any of my usual stalkers (hard to tell from a single comment). M.Bitton (talk) 12:45, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Requesting Ed Kramer redirect change

(Thank you for letting me know of SlimVirgin's decease; I hadn't noticed this, although I see now that it's hard to miss. If she was your friend, I'm sorry for your sake about her passing, which was certainly a loss to Misplaced Pages.)

I wrote to her with my request because she was listed as the one who protected this redirect. I write to you in hopes that you will pick up my request.

You can see why I am requesting this change, by visiting Edward Kramer (disambiguation). Edward A. Kramer, a computer graphics pioneer referred to in the literature as Ed Kramer, is a new article. The redirect Ed Kramer points only to Edward E. Kramer, a convicted child molester.

That will be disconcerting to those who run across "Ed Kramer" in the computer graphics literature (or in person) and consult Misplaced Pages to learn more about him.

I would have attempted to modify the redirect had it not been protected, so that it would point to Edward Kramer (disambiguation). I do not yet know how to modify an unprotected redirect page, but I would hope to figure it out, should you be so kind as to unprotect it.

Alternatively, you might modify the page yourself to point to Edward Kramer (disambiguation), while retaining its current protection; at your preference.

Thank you for your consideration.

Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 16:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Larry, thanks for your note, I have changed the redirect to the disambiguation page. Please check that I have done this correctly. Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 16:42, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Perfect & thank you! Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 16:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Mediation

Hey PhilKnight, I’m sure we talked a lot at one point way back when! Reaching out to alert you of a chat I’ve started with User:Arcticocean about the current state of dispute resolution on Misplaced Pages. If you’re interested in the conversation and taking part (it will make it over to the idea lab eventually), the discussion is over at his talk page. Steven Crossin 21:59, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
