Recent disruptive editing/vandalism

 * Young Sheldon

continues to be a disruptive and argumentative editor at Young Sheldon. On 16 October he managed to violate WP:3RR in only 3 hours. Eventually he stopped edit-warring after he was warned. At the time I prepared a report for use in the event that he continued edit-warring. See below:

At Young Sheldon has been edit-warring, adding WP:SYNTH and generally being disruptive. His reverts have not all been to one particular version so it is necessary to clarify them below. 02:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC) Tweak wording to avoid WP:SYNTH 03:04, 16 October 2019 (UTC) Please reread the reference. It DOES mention the Nobel Prize winners by name
 * 1) 00:11, 16 October 2019 (UTC) The episode summary is only 155 words. The notes cannot be moved to the prose. They are specific to this episode, which was unique, as it coincided with the series finale of the parent series - This edit reverted the edit immediately prior to it where  quite correctly restored the plot tag that Banana Republic had removed.
 * 2) 01:17, 16 October 2019 (UTC) Per WP:STATUSQUO, leave the note in the article until we get a consensus to remove. There was a discussion in the talkpage how to acknowledge that the series takes place in 1990 - This edit reverted the edit immediately prior to it where Alex 21 removed the note. The WP:STATUSQUO claim is not correct. This revision is the status quo, not the version that was reverted to. Banana Republic actually reverted to his own edit.
 * 3) Banana Republic then added two sources here. Neither reference explicitly supports the claim. The combination of both sources to support the claim is classic WP:SYNTH. The sources were removed in this subsequent edit. After that, Banana Republic acknowledged that he understood WP:SYNTH when he said "Tweak wording to avoid WP:SYNTH. In that same edit he reverted the removal of the WP:SYNTH sources.
 * 1) Alex 21 then removed one of the sources again, but Banana Republic reverted that:

Today, he has resumed his edit-warring at the page, as well as some other inappropriate behaviour. Over the past few days there has been some discussion over content that was added to the page, with initially opposing this addition as trivia. Without attempting to discuss, Banana Republic restored another version, and then another. Alex 21 opposed both of these, asking Banana Republic to discuss on the talk page, which he did not do. Today, Banana Republic restored the disputed text, falsely claiming "Per talk, there is a consensus that it is notable that the title sequence changed in the 3rd season. We are just missing a good reference to back it up, but the reference is not used for WP:V, since the show is the WP:V" in his edit summary. As can be seen in the discussion at Talk:Young Sheldon, there was no mention of notability. All that was suggested in the limited discussion was "All this needs is a sentence of prose (and a source!) stating how the intro updated with the third season, that's it". This suggestion was made by Alex 21 with nobody agreeing or disagreeing with his suggestion. This being the case and as the discussion was awaiting input by Banana Republic who had not provided sources (only citation needed tags!), I reverted Banana Republic, stating "Reverted to revision 922654379 by Banana Republic: This is the same content that was previously removed as trivia. No consensus exists on the talk page to include this. The only suggestion is a single sentence with a reference and no reference was provided" in my edit summary. Up until then, this was the first edit I had made to the article since 18 October. However, Banana Republic's response to this was to revert me, abuse the template warning system by placing an edit-warring warning on my talk page, and restate his false claim about consensus on Talk:Young Sheldon. Banana Republic's actions are continued edit-warring, now with two different editors, and contrary to WP:BRD.

After his website was removed from multiple pages, a raft of IPs continued restoring them, one admitting that he was Cutajarc. An SPI case was indeterminate, but Cutajarc posted on my talk page while not logged in. His correction, confirmed that at least one of the IPs was his.

ANI draft - User:Cutajarc not here to edit constructively
Some time ago, Cutajarc created http://webstuff.gotdns.com/demand, which was added to many articles in July 2012 by Cutajarc and IPs. Many of the links were subsequently removed but in April 2013, Cutajarc added the site to many more articles. These were removed and reported by another editor at WP:AWNB, where a discussion about the suitability of the website as an eternal link was discussed. The website is clearly a self-published source with no indication of the source of the information that was presented, so it was removed from all articles. During the AWNB discussion, an editor said "Cutajarc & his farm of 149.135.147.* IPs are re-adding the link to list of power stations by state as well as a few of the individual power stations". A quick check showed the same edit at multiple articles by multiple IPs in a short period, with four different IPs in four minutes at one stage. Since is it was clear that all of the edits were related, I opened an SPI investigation, which was indeterminate. Twelve days later, an IP started editing the pages in my userspace, which resulted in him being warned, twice. A few hours ago, Cutajarc mistakenly posted on my talk page without logging in, confirming by a subsequent edit that the IP is him. As Drmargi has indicated above, Cutajarc and his IP have posted several times on my talk page attempting to "out" me. Because I had removed multiple links to his website, he has obviously trolled through my userpages to find a userbox that listed my personal website (now removed) and searched Wikipedia to see if it had been linked to. He managed to find an edit that I had made way back in 2009 and many, many thousands of edits ago, that did link to the website which is why he had then edited my userpages. He then started a discussion at WP:AWNB as the IP, never letting on who the IP actually was. At around the same time, an IP from the same pool that had previous been restoring the links, was retoring the links. It has been added to my "unreliable sources" list for this reason. It's clear that Cutajarc and his IP farm intend to continue adding this link. Cutajarc denies that the IP farm is his, but one posted ""IT'S totally CUTAJARC HERE and I own all those ip's mate". On its own, that probably isn't enough to prove it, but then there is a post by Cutajarc from several hours ago in which he says "''those 145. ips where by me and you know why I did it, because our discussion wasnt even finalised and ShiftChange was already taking action". Of course, he then goes on to say "No it wasnt me that harrased your talk page. I was never interested in engaging with you as your unfriendly and arrogant", but given his post in which he acknowledges that the IP was him, there is no doubt that it was. He continues, saying "I want all ties cut with Wikipedia, its editors and especially you", but then posted on my talk page, "Wikipedia is wayyyy at the bottom of my list and means NOTHING to me, I can easily make a new account which you will never know about anyway so it doesnt bother me''". Later in the day, despite wishing to cut all ties with Wikipedia, he requested a username change, which I felt bound to comment on. Surprise, surprise, my comment was reverted three times by three of those IPs that Cutajarc admits/denies are/are not his. When the third removal was reverted, Cutajarc himself commented.

Dubious editing - Nov 2015
Likely related editors to watch:

™
The edits by the IPs listed in this section have been marked as vandalism as per the discussion at WP:ANI#Persistent IP hopping vandal. As this discussion has now been archived, updates to the list of IPs used are being made here. As per that discussion, reports were being made at User talk:KrakatoaKatie until she got sick in January. Since then, reports have been routinely made to WP:AIV.
 * Edit summary normally used: Persistent vandal discussed at ANI. See User:AussieLegend/Vandals etc for more
 * Text for WP:AIV reports:
 * IP reports - Vandalism only account. Persistent IP vandal previously discussed at ANI. See User:AussieLegend/Vandals etc for more. Standard practice is to block the IP and semi the article(s) being vandalised because the vandal will return to the page with another IP from the pool. Note that this vandal hangs onto an IP for as long as possible, so if it hasn't edited in a few hours, this does not mean that a block is not necessary. It is likely to return using the same IP as was the case with this one, which wasn't blocked because it hadn't edited for several hours
 * Alternate text where a registered account has inserted "Chanel" or "Chantelle" in addition to the text - ''Vandalism only account. Obviously a registered account of the IP vandal that I've reported on numerous occasions (See User:AussieLegend/Vandals etc for more) as it exhibits identical traits. Insertion of "Chanel" or "Chantelle" into articles [] was a dead give-away but also exhibits the other traits noted on my userpage, especially the wikilinking of gazillions of randomly chosen words. [] As always, standard practice is to block the account and semi the article(s) being vandalised because the vandal will return to the page with another account or another IP from the 108.32.0.0/12 pool.
 * Alternate text where a registered account has not inserted "Chanel" or "Chantelle" in addition to the text - ''Vandalism only, block evading account. Obviously a registered account of the IP vandal that I've reported on numerous occasions (See User:AussieLegend/Vandals etc for more) as it exhibits identical traits. The wikilinking of gazillions of randomly chosen words is a dead give-away. The account is a sockpuppet of Clarify29. (see SPI cases ). As always, standard practice is to block the account and semi the article(s) being vandalised because the vandal will return to the page with another account or another IP from the 108.32.0.0/12 pool.

This is a persistent IP hopping vandal who uses sneaky vandalism. Typical traits include, but are not limited to:
 * changing random words(e.g "blond" to "light Eru brown")
 * gratuitously adding wikilinks to random words
 * randomly changing individual words and wikilinking them
 * indiscriminately changing some links (eg "running gag" to "running gag" )
 * changing female names to "Chanel" or variations, such as "Chantelle". This was a common trait in the early vandalism but it has also been seen in later edits.
 * occasional use of "pickadees" in edits. (e.g. replacing "penguins" with "pickadees")

The vandal has also periodically identified herself as "Gabby", which has also been reflected in accounts that have been registered, such as User:729gabby. Edits adding "Gabby" to articles have also been seen.

An SPI case was raised on 15 March at Sockpuppet investigations/Clarify29
