Hello, I would like to ask for help because there is non-stop harassment on the Parliament of Malaysia page by an anonymous user who has edited the election year of Malaysia. which is distortion of information Many people have tried to fix it, but he hasn't stopped. Preime TH (talk) 02:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Preime TH, I'm not sure if "harassment" is the right term for repeatedly adding the same unsourced information to an article, but I have semi-protected the page for three months now. Please notify me if this turns out to be insufficient. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- The anonymous user has distorted the information, that is, the current parliament will meet for the first time on 19 December 2022, and this parliament will be in place for 5 years. When the 5 years are up, it will be automatically dissolved on 19 December 2027, and then it must be rebuilt within 60 days, which we must organize no later than February 2028. But he (referring to the anonymous user) has changed it to 2027, even though other users have already said that the current parliament will expire in December 2027, but he has not stopped the correction. But I would like to thank you for helping to prevent it. Preime TH (talk) 12:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

edit-warring IP
[edit]Before they blanked it from their talk page, you blocked 103.231.73.87 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for edit warring. Would you mind taking a look at Talk:Peter Ostrum#infobox occupation & years and their associated articular edits? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 12:40, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
P.S. Oh, what fun: they're now following me to my other recent edits and reverting them w/o cause. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 12:42, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Fourthords, thank you very much for the notification. The address is part of a /22 webserver/colocation network of Stark Industries and similar companies, which is now blocked for a year. Additionally, the specific user (independently of their IP address) is blocked for a month. If you see them evading their block, please create a report at WP:SPI and let me know. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:55, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for your time! I'll keep an eye out. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 23:48, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- It would seem they are now editing as 103.31.182.7 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I'll head to SPI momentarily. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 02:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- I hope I did this correctly: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/103.231.73.87. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 02:29, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- They have now seemingly moved on to 31.210.50.129 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and Ban Fourthords Community (talk · contribs). I'm going to update Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/103.231.73.87, assuming I am correct to do so (and that I did it correctly in the first place); is there anything further I should do as I've seemingly attracted special ire? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 11:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, Fourthords, the SPI is helpful. If there is obvious harassment continuing the behavior described at Special:Permalink/1249154433 from any account or address, you can also report it at WP:AIV for a quick block; the main difference between SPI and AIV is that AIV is quicker but should ideally only be used if the behavior is so clearly problematic that demonstrating block evasion isn't needed anymore. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:11, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not having used the SPI process before, please forgive me if my first response is to tap you on the shoulder, here, and double-check what to do. Thanks for all the assistance! — Fourthords | =Λ= | 14:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- All good, feel free to do so! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:16, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
