== Update regarding Topic-Ban Observance ==
{{archives|search=yes}}


I once again momentarily forgot about my lede image ban and reverted a change to a picture I had uploaded as the lede image for ]. It literally occurred to me at the last moment before making said revert that what I was about to do might violate my topic ban. However, by the time it fully registered, the change had already been made. I have since reverted said change. While I am inclined to ask you to show leniency, I realize I asked you to dismiss a similar occurence around a month ago so I will leave it to your discretion regarding whether further sanctions are warranted. ] (]) 03:42, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
==Antiochian Greeks==
Hello sir, well, Syria was under the rule of Byzantium for 600 years and most Syrians were Hellenized and followed the official state church (the roman , that is east roman). Genetically they are the same with other Christians and moslims in the region. and the majority of them consider themselves Syrians not Greeks. However, a small movement mainly outside Syria is trying to claim Greek ancestry. I fixed the page and sourced it explaining my edits here ]. I provided around 13 reliable sources that all got reverted by a user with multiple IPs. I asked for a sock puppet investigation ]. I took it to ANI . and Im starting to look like an edit warrior.

Antiochian Greeks is an ethnic name, Real Greeks would never accept those Syrians as one of them and there is really no ethnic meaning to them as it is clear by the report of US Committee on Foreign Relations .

So I want the page to be removed into Antiochian Greek Christians. this is the official name of them, they are a religions sect not an ethnicity. Ofcourse 98% are Orthodox but there is 2% Catholic.

For example, the user added this sentence : '''and a growing number of Antiochians are using it as an ethnic designation due to the Levant's Hellenistic and Byzantine past.''' He added it before my source of the US Committee on Foreign Relations which clearly says that they are Not Ethnic Greeks !.

I would like a help on changing the Page title to reflect their religious reality not a false Ethnic reality based on the name and the language of the liturgy.--] (]) 04:10, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
:You're welcome to pursue this, but you'll need very good sourcing. Because of the mention of Greeks, it's possible that this dispute falls under ], which would allow admins to sanction people who appear to be edit warring for nationalistic reasons. Though the people on the other side may not be behaving well, you really need to have better arguments if you're going to convince regular Misplaced Pages editors that you have a case. Thanks, ] (]) 04:16, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for your reply, Im not Christian of any dominion, hence I have no nationalistic feelings about being Greek or anything. As for them, I have this Genetic study proving they are the same as their surroundings and not closer to Greeks .. and then I have those scholarly works .--] (]) 04:22, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

You blocked a user for edit-warring; he as soon as the block wore off. ]. He asked for a third opinion, and it was , and so I guess he decided to just edit war without even edit summary. WHYYYY. ] ] 06:43, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

::A party that promoted/promotes unification with Bosnia and Herzegovina has nothing to do with Bosnia and Herzegovina? The ] you created yesterday mentions "Bosnia and Herzegovina" five times. The ] you nominated yesterday mentions "unification with the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina". Yet here you state that the article has nothing to do with Bosnia and Herzegovina. How dumb do you consider us? ] (]) 11:11, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

{{IPuser|81.168.78.73}} has put back, for a second time, the Prastaro rant on ]. I assume it's him, the second time is after the block.

== Unblock request on hold ==

Hi, Ed. I have placed on hold a block request at ]. You blocked the IP address for evading a block on ] because of the IP editor restoring a removed edit by Agostino.prastaro at ]. I agree that the edits in question looked exactly like block-evasion by Agostino.prastaro, and the block was reasonable. However, I suggest that the block should now be lifted. The IP editor denies being Agostino.prastaro, and claims to have restored the comment because of a belief that it deserved discussion. I have checked the editing history of the account and the IP address, and apart from the reverts at ] I can see absolutely no similarity whatever between the two. The areas where they have edited are totally different, the styles of commenting are different. (Indeed, one of Agostino.prastaro's hallmarks is bolding headings in talk page comments, and the IP editor even removed bolding from the heading he or she restored.) It therefore looks to me as though the IP editors denial of being Agostino.prastaro is likely to be true. Even if the IP editor is Agostino.prastaro, he or she has offered a promise not to edit ], which is the only place there has been any overlap. If the block is lifted and the IP address starts editing related to Agostino.prastaro, then the answer will be simple: an immediate block for a much longer period, so nothing will have been lost. Any opinion? <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "]" (]) 10:54, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': As an editor who has followed AP closely, I'll state that the IP's English in his unblock request is clearly much more fluent than AP's, and I'm now convinced it's not AP. Note the IP's first unblock request where he does not show understanding of TPO, FORUM, NOTHERE. ] (]) 11:41, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
::Now unblocked. Thank you, ] (]) 13:51, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

==]==

Unless I'm totally missing something, the above user is resuming his edit warring at two different articles. Same issues, same sources, same arguments, same refusal to follow BRD. ] (]) 14:22, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
:You are missing something. You reverted edits without justification and you haven't answered my questions on the talk pages. If you notice on the SS page I have made almost no edits and have been working with SD to discuss all changes and proposing changes. Rather than accusing me of entering into an edit war I would ask that you discuss the edits I've made on the relevant talk pages. ] (]) 14:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

==AnulBanul (Wustenfuchs) topic ban evasion==

*{{userlinks|185.38.146.201}} (Mostar IP)
*{{userlinks|93.180.126.249}} (Sarajevo IP)

He's at it again. This time violating his topic ban via IPs {{user|185.38.146.201}} and {{user|93.180.126.249}}. See: , , And: , ,

--] (]) 15:04, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not convinced that this is AnulBanul. These IPs don't have very many edits, so they are not yet a major hazard even if we assume the edits are bad. If you see nationalist warring on some articles, consider recommending some of the articles for me to semiprotect. Still, I take note that the Sarajevo IP, 93.180.*, is from the same /16 range as the one we think Wüstenfuchs used, judging from ]. But perhaps all Sarajevo IPs hosted by Telemach are from this range. I'll notify ] that he was mentioned here. ] (]) 15:31, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
::No offense, but are you serious? Do you expect a confession from the guy? You have the same exact lines and POV on obscure articles with one of them being pushed against Dragodol, his edit warring buddy that you also topic banned, in the Nijaz Duraković article and in the Jovan Divjak article the same exact line of nonsense that he was a "show general". Both IPs are used in Mostar and in all seriousness him going into one of the 50 million Bosnian cafe bars with internet to push this nonsense is not unlikely. Do you really think there's some unrelated guy in Mostar that is coincidentally pulling this identical crap? --] (]) 17:13, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
::Also look at the IP contributions on the Croatian Misplaced Pages. He picks up where Wustenfuchs and AnulBanul left off on the Croatian Party of Rights of Bosnia and Herzegovina article and on the Croatian Democratic Union 1990 article where his Herr Ziffer (blocked) and Wustenfuchs accounts formerly edited and on the Croatian Party of Rights (Bosnia and Herzegovina) article where Wustenfuchs formerly edited. Another IP (blocked) that edited all those same articles in the same manner also created the Nijaz Duraković article on the Croatian Misplaced Pages. --] (]) 17:36, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

:::Those are my IPs. --] (]) 20:00, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Update regarding Topic-Ban Observance

I once again momentarily forgot about my lede image ban and reverted a change to a picture I had uploaded as the lede image for Hideki Tojo. It literally occurred to me at the last moment before making said revert that what I was about to do might violate my topic ban. However, by the time it fully registered, the change had already been made. I have since reverted said change. While I am inclined to ask you to show leniency, I realize I asked you to dismiss a similar occurence around a month ago so I will leave it to your discretion regarding whether further sanctions are warranted.
