User:Nythar/User tracking

This page is where I track LTAs and other editors who use many accounts/IPs that are worth tracking.

Bad copyediting IP
They normally use IPs that begin with "50.49.", but now they seem to be using IPs that begin with "45.", which can be seen in both of these diffs where they added excessive "see also" links: 1st diff & 2nd diff. Use this edit summary when reverting their unconstructive edits:

Behavior

 * Usually adds excessive "see also" links (e.g., here & here; many of the linked articles (as can be seen in the second diff) are too broad and unnecessary).
 * Copyedits articles, which in many cases involves oversimplification of language.
 * Often adds unnecessary links in article text (e.g., linking "20th century" (which is unnecessary) & linking "antisemitism" (which was already linked to earlier in the article)).
 * Doesn't communicate via talk pages.
 * Never uses edit summaries.
 * All three known IP ranges geolocate to Rochester, NY.
 * Mainly edits articles about race, war, and religion.

Examples of bad copyediting

 * Unnecessarily repetitive language
 * Excessive use of "they were"

Behavior

 * Removes massive amounts of text from Africa-related articles.
 * Often mentions content being "unsourced" in their edit summaries.
 * Edits the Vietnamese Wikipedia (often through the sock accounts they use at the English Wikipedia).
