Qara xan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Hey Ed! Sorry for bothering you (again), but could you take a look on what Qara xan has written by clicking on the link? That's taking the word "personal attack" to a whole new level. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:44, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

I asked User:Qara xan to withdraw his post. EdJohnston (talk) 15:30, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Kansas Bear replied with many Personal Attacks to my polite message. He used f... word 8 times. He also wrote to his ally that Though, I was upset that I was only able to use "fucking" eight times in my response. It shows that he is proud of what he did. So in this case do i have to be blocked? Is that fair? --Qara Khan 15:49, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

My offer isn't negotiable. You need to withdraw the threat of violence: 'I will find you in real life and you will pay for it.' EdJohnston (talk) 15:59, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

You are on Kansas Bear's side. I did't threat. I will do it. He will pay for what he wrote to me . --Qara Khan 16:06, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Now blocked. Any followup should occur at User talk:Qara xan. EdJohnston (talk) 16:17, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for moving Isle of Mull to Mull. Could you please also move Talk:Isle of Mull to Talk:Mull? Cheers! --Deskford (talk) 22:55, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Done. EdJohnston (talk) 22:57, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Unblock request on hold

Hi, Ed. I have placed on hold a block request at User talk:81.168.78.73. You blocked the IP address for evading a block on Agostino.prastaro because of the IP editor restoring a removed edit by Agostino.prastaro at Talk:Poincaré conjecture. 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 Talk:Poincaré conjecture 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 Talk:Poincaré conjecture, 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? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 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. Choor monster (talk) 11:41, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Now unblocked. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 13:51, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

User:Getoverpops

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. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 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. Getoverpops (talk) 14:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

AnulBanul (Wustenfuchs) topic ban evasion

185.38.146.201 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (Mostar IP)
93.180.126.249 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (Sarajevo IP)

He's at it again. This time violating his topic ban via IPs 185.38.146.201 (talk · contribs) and 93.180.126.249 (talk · contribs). See: , , And: , , Also: --Potočnik (talk) 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 WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Wüstenfuchs. But perhaps all Sarajevo IPs hosted by Telemach are from this range. I'll notify User:AnulBanul that he was mentioned here. EdJohnston (talk) 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? --Potočnik (talk) 17:13, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Also look at the 93.180.126.249 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. --Potočnik (talk) 17:36, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

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

Yes. I'd agree to be blocked for a longer period (for six months or so) if I violate my topic ban another time. That is, if you'd agree to that. Also, for now, I think a one week ban would be ok, if you think so as well. --AnulBanul (talk) 23:48, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

KSFT

You marked the request as {{done}} but I don't think the user right was assigned. Did you mean to mark as not done? — MusikAnimal 22:45, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

My mistake, I left the computer without hitting 'Save'. Now fixed. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:10, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Mondschein English

This discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
User:Mondschein English has been repeatedly making unwarranted references to what they think my nationality/ethnicity is, in contexts (disputes) where this nationality/ethnicity is completely irrelevant to the issue under dispute (latest , in the edit summary). Some of these references are thinly veiled insults or outright ethnic insults (previous diff, and also which consists of mangled "fake Polish" - "shoriski, fuliski, moorishki". Basically it's like leaving a message on a Chinese person's talk page consisting of references to the fact that they are Chinese and ending it with a bigot's parody of the Chinese language). I'd appreciate it if this stopped.Volunteer Marek (talk) 02:33, 18 June 2015 (UTC) Left a note at User talk:Mondschein English#Complaint about your edits on my talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 02:48, 18 June 2015 (UTC) Further to the ethnic slurs aimed at VM, the user is engaged in DE on a number of articles, currently prominently regarding the Azov Battalion and introducing undue content in other articles regarding the battalion. At the moment, there's little information about the battalion's status as, according to reports, they have been merged into a regiment and there's little available information on these changes. The article is subject to the usual POV traffic and moves without any form of discussion. In order to establish whether or not any changes have taken place as regards how the 'regiment' functions (ideologically, etc.), I've attempted to get editors on track by tagging the article as being outdated, and by creating a new section on the talk page here. Within a half an hour, Mondschein English followed by creating a new section deliberately veering focus away from constructive development to tossing in a new SOAP section below (here). Normally, I'd let a bit of stupidity like this stand, but I felt compelled to remove it as that talk page has been underused for constructive discussion (understatement as it's been used as a forum for trolls: I won't even go into the not using English issues). Ultimately, I can only construe Mondschein English's presence as NOTHERE. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:52, 18 June 2015 (UTC) I'll keep it brief folks: Marek: "shooriski, maliski, etc." is my stab at Russian: you accuse me of being Russian, and I gave you my best Russian. :-D Plus, since when is "Polish" an ethnic slur? I knew a Polish guy named Marek in college, and Marek is a Polish name. Now, if I had called a guy named Fritz "Kraut", now that would be an ethnic slur! :-) Irina: you keep leaving uninvited soliloquies on my talk page. Stop.Doing.That. :-) Also, you write: "Normally, I'd let a bit of stupidity like this stand". In not so many words you are calling what I am saying stupid. Right back at you, bother. More importantly though: you two keep reverting my edits claiming the Azov Battalion, or Regiment, no longer reports to Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs... Do y'all have any sources stating that the Azov folks no longer report to the aforementioned Ministry (it even says so on the English Wiki article)? If so, just publish it and we are done, but if not, why do you keep reverting my edits? The same goes for the FPÖ: one very biased article groups this Austrian party with far-right groups in order to make it look like only far-right folks stand behind the Crimean People, but many other sources define the FPÖ for what it is, i.e. a populist or right wing populist party (Die Zeit is without a doubt more authoritative in all things related to the German Speaking World than the New York Times). What do we do here? What is the rule? I gather all sources that point in the one direction, y'all gather all the sources that point in the other direction and we weigh them against each other? I am not here to start a ridiculous feud with people I don't even know, I would just like Misplaced Pages to remain NPOV. Kind regards, --Mondschein English (talk) 11:00, 18 June 2015 (UTC) Mondschein English, please stop lying. I have never "accused you of being Russian" as first, that's not something to "accuse" somebody of, and second, I simply have never speculated or referred to your nationality or ethnicity. You're projecting your own odious behavior onto others. Please provide diffs or stop making false accusations. And the fact that you combined your ""shoriski, fuliski, moorishki"" with the Polish (not Russian) "do widzenia" and did the same when you combined "Shorisky, Poliski, Polski, Pollakski, morrishky, fasheesky!" with the Polish word (not Russian) "Tak" sort of suggests that you were doing exactly what I said you were - trying to ridicule what you thought was someone else's language. Regardless, this kind of behavior is unacceptable.Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:05, 18 June 2015 (UTC) You, Marek, stop lying: accusing someone of being a Russian guy's sock puppet is indeed accusing someone of being Russian. I constantly detect (badly) restrained hatred in your words. You don't simply revert an edit of mine, you also throw in a little dig, and you do that with other users, as well. Why do you that? Why don't you focus on facts, e.g. how to go about the Azov Battalion or the FPOE, instead on calling me troll many, many times and engaging in what looks like a war? If you reply more of the same, I may simply start ignoring you. Da Widzenia is indeed Russian, or Ukrainian, by the way. Regardless, stop taking digs at me, it is unacceptable for you to continue to do so. --Mondschein English (talk) 14:38, 18 June 2015 (UTC) Mondschein, all this vituperation is not helping your case. Admins like to see people cooperating. In case of any doubt, we will probably block whoever seems to be behaving the worst. At the moment, you are behaving the worst. (You easily qualify as the angriest person here). Consider backing away from the dispute for a while. EdJohnston (talk) 14:48, 18 June 2015 (UTC) I have never accused you of "being a Russian guy's sock puppet". I did accuse you of being another user's sockpuppet, because your style and editing interest are very similar, but just like I've never commented on your possible ethnicity/nationality I've never commented (or for that matter, cared) about that user's nationality/ethnicity. Again, "accusing someone of being Russian" is not something I'd do, mostly because that'd be ridiculous. And no, "da widzenia" (you actually wrote do widzenia, which is clearly Polish) is NOT "Russian, or Ukrainian". That would be "uvidemsya", "dasvidania", "do vstriechi" or just "poka". You are just making stuff up.Volunteer Marek (talk) 17:12, 18 June 2015 (UTC) Well, you did accuse me of being the sock puppet of a guy named Lokomotiv something, and Lokomotiv is the name of a Russian Soccer team, that I know, so I assumed the guy was Russian and I put two and two together, that's it, but if you say the guy is not Russian, so be it. For what concerns the Russian greetings: I am not making anything up, my Polish friend always said "Da Widzenja" or "Do Widzenja" and told me Russian was pretty much the same, but you apparently know a lot more about Slavic languages than I do, so I have no reason not to believe you. Anyway, look: you accused me right off the bat of being a sock puppet (of what I believe to be a Russian guy) and that ticked me off, since being a sock puppet is truly the lowest, sure as heck worse than Polish or Russian. That being said, if I am truly coming across "angry", like the independent arbitrator stated, then it is time for me to let it be, because that is absolutely not the way I want to be perceived. I have no horse in this race. --Mondschein English (talk) 19:56, 18 June 2015 (UTC) No, I never accused you of being a sock puppet of a "guy named Lokomotiv something" and furthermore I honestly have no idea if there is a Russian soccer team named "Lokomotiv something" or if there is or was an account by that name. And it's not about you being angry, it's about you 1) behaving disruptively with regard to Misplaced Pages content, and 2) when faced with a disagreement, personalizing that disagreement and throwing in a whole bunch of... well, bigotry (don't know how else to put it - click that link). If a user here on Misplaced Pages got into an argument with someone whom they perceived - based on their user name - to be Chinese, and then showed up to their talk page insulting them and then ending their message with "hey, ching chong, ching chang, chong my Chinese friend!" (like you did with: "shoriski, fuliski, moorishki") they'd get their ass banned in a second. And rightly so. You're just lucky that you decided to indulge your racism in an obscure topic area. But hey, I'm willing to chalk it up to immaturity or something.Volunteer Marek (talk) 05:40, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Dispute

There is a dispute involving you here . Xtremedood (talk) 09:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Responded at DRN. You should consider having a proper discussion at Talk:List of converts to Islam from Hinduism if you think that more people should be included in the list. Consider WP:RSN if there is disagreement on what sources can be used. EdJohnston (talk) 19:27, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Z07x10

You warned Z07x10 (I am not pinging so that I don't poke the bear) about edit-warring at WP:ANEW. In the meantime, he began flaming about "cliches", and it appears that a "cliche" is an editor who don't share his POV. However, then he engaged in vandalism on an unrelated article: ≤https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Enumclaw_horse_sex_case&type=revision&diff=667607533&oldid=666540696 in order to insult his enemies or his cliches or whatever. He is now blocked by another administrator, not for edit-warring, but for vandalism. I had not expected that he would turn to vandalism. Just an update.

Strange. It does remind me of the 2013 ANI case, where several people favored an indef block of this editor. The same issues were involved then. This editor should be wary of being reported at AN3 too many times about the same article, because there is a limit to everyone's patience. EdJohnston (talk) 19:38, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure he means cliques, not cliches. Meaning, in his eyes, he is being ganged up on by a group of other editors. Liz 00:44, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand

I was hoping you'd be able to tell to me why every report, except one, on the Edit Warring noticeboard that has been posted after this one has been resolved. Am I suppose to contact an administrator directly? This is the 5th time this user has demonstrated this behavior and all the links of previous noticeboard reports are there, so I don't understand why other cases are being resolved before this one when this one was posted first. Any help would be much appreciated.Scoobydunk (talk) 00:31, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm the admin who issued the two previous blocks this editor has received. At some point it's desirable for more than one admin to look into the conduct issue. I was hoping that some other AN3 closer would take this on (or maybe I can get a comment from some admin who is watching this page). The next logical step (for whoever does it) is an indefinite block of User:Getoverpops. EdJohnston (talk) 02:08, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

EdJohnston, I would like to ask that Scoobydunk be specific about why he thinks I'm in an edit war vs making a good faith effort to edit an article. I felt we were making good progress on the article and told him as much on his talk page. What he use to trigger this claim was a disagreement over an opening sentence to a sub-paragraph. He feels that I have only minority source views and thus the opening sentence should be phrased as such. Please take a look at the actual sequence of edits before deciding this is a war vs just a minor disagrement. I think Scoobydunk is trying to game the system here perhaps because RightCowLeftCoast is agreeing with the points I'm making. Anyway, I ask for a fair shake here and I don't feel that Scooby is presenting things objectively.Getoverpops (talk) 03:11, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

In context of the complaints Scoobydunk has against me I would like to point out this post by RightCowLeftCoast ]. I think he hits on an issue I've had while trying to edit the page. I'm making a good faith effort to edit in a fair and neutral fashion but I suspect the article in question is one that gather's more enthusiasm from editors of one political leaning vs the other. Please take my enthusiasm as WP:STRAIGHT Getoverpops (talk) 03:32, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

I certainly understand a willingness to have other admins look into the case. Sometimes I feel multiple admins will overlook something, waiting for someone else to come along, and I didn't want this to become "stale" like a previous instance. I appreciate your bringing attention to the subject and appreciate your provided input.Scoobydunk (talk) 06:25, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Getoverpops is now blocked by another admin per WP:AN3. EdJohnston (talk) 13:27, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

How to edit Yoga page

WP:CANVASS --TL22 (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi, today is International day of Yoga and many people from around the world will try to access Yoga wikipedia page. But we are not able to add more to this page. All previous edits seem to try and add genuine details about Yoga. I don't understand why they are removed and edit is disabled. It looks like that wikipedia's slogan that anybody can write and add content is broken by some dictator fellows. Unless one is anti-yoga, the previous edits didn't deserve the removal. Feels like for these monopoly a WikiLeaks page should be opened for wikipedia. Try researching the topic Yoga and check whether the information added is genuine or not. Sometimes in the name of free service to wikipedia many enthusiasts deny vital information to reach to the masses. Its yoga day and millions will turn to wikipedia for getting to know abou it, if new edits are not added in time they will loose there significance all together.. Missing Aron swartz like fellows.... Freedom is in danger.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Himalayan river (talk • contribs) 19:11, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Russian Orthodox Church

I'd like to bring to your attention a brewing edit war on this article. There seems to be little community activity on it, and it's just me and one other editor so far, although User:Alex Bakharev, another administrator, thanked me for reverting disputed edits on the article. The other seems intent on insult or some such yawn, but not discussion, which I have opened on the talk page. At any rate, I've gone far enough in reverting to protect the article, and there are apparently no other eyes on it. Alex is apparently on vacation, so I wanted to ask if you would pass your eyes over recent events there, and consider what might be done to protect the article. I don't see any point in replying to the last talk page message, either. I pass on further activity unless called upon or engaged by other editors. Thanks.

Warning!

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
