Lots of unsourced trivia, presumably added by a local historian. Drmies, is any of it salvageable? 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 21:50, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Maybe, but who has the time to go through all the factoids and find verification for them? Drmies (talk) 01:05, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you, Drmies. I thought about the mass reversion. What a mess. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 02:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yep, and what a shame, because if there is a follow-up to this it likely will be full of insults and misunderstandings, with a good-willing amateur who doesn't understand what secondary sources are or why we need them. On the bright side, Alabama star Derick Henry is having a good night playing for the Titans. I'm working on a little local article. Drmies (talk) 02:09, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thinking the same. Spent too much time watching football today. For better or worse, I did finish up a review [1] for publication. Tomorrow will be a busy one in the city; won't get home until way after midnight. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 02:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • For better, I think. Nice, concise bit of writing. Drmies (talk) 16:36, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nest of socks[edit]

Seem to have congregated in the last week at Loren Avedon. Some blocked, some not, but they have a penchant for adding 'martial artist,' aren't well versed in English, and in one case became rather testy when challenged and blocked. Drmies, Bbb23? 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 22:01, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did I miss any?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:37, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Those are the ones I noticed, Bbb23. Thank you. As for the closed ANI, TimesLovely (talk · contribs) and InsideMidnight (talk · contribs) look like more socks of CoverageDragon (talk · contribs). If you can confirm, we may be able to do further WP:BANREVERT. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 22:40, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You're probably right, but I don't usually mess with accounts who haven't edited in a while. TimesLovely is not stale; what do you think, Ponyo?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:45, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: Exceedingly  Likely for TimesLovely. Lots of dynamic ranges available to them, so expect more of the same.-- Ponyobons mots 23:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@IP (are you 99?), I have no problem blocking TimesLovely based on behavior and Ponyo's CU results (thanks), but I'm not sure how it would help you in terms of reverting. Can you elaborate? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:52, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Bbb23, of course I'm 99. I follow your rationale re: not blocking. I was looking at the edits both dormant accounts made to West Mesa murders. If we can verify they're all the same user, I'll have a better rationale for reverting. Otherwise I'll look and see if the content is poorly sourced or copied. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 00:58, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, well, I was fairly certain, but I haven't kept up with your location change, or perhaps I forgot; either way, nice to talk to you again. I'll try to address this tomorrow when I have more energy.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:12, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I just noticed that Materialscientist CU-blocked TL. I may still look at re-tagging to keep it clear.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:13, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's cool, Bbb23; thanks for the help. I've gone ahead and reverted a lot of copied text. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 01:16, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to also ask for help from Diannaa at Ireland's Vanishing Triangle. There's an ocean of unsourced content, a lot of which looks to have been lifted from a crime website-- [2]; [3], for instance. Perhaps a lot of rev/deletion there. One way or another, the article can be pared substantially. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Diannaa, same questions at West Mesa murders. If a mass rev/deletion is appropriate, I'll wait on chewing through it piece by piece. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 01:06, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I will look at these tomorrow. — Diannaa (talk) 01:28, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No rush. And I'm away all day. Thank you, Diannaa. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 02:53, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have done revision deletion on those two articles. It looks like all other edits by InsideMidnight have been reverted, mostly immediately by regular patrollers or pagewatchers. — Diannaa (talk) 13:38, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Diannaa. I suspect every article they edited has copyright issues, alas. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 15:24, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One of my favorite places on earth, the article is a promotional mess with a glut of irrelevant photos. Drmies, I'm going to clean this later--feel free to have at it if you're around and so inclined. Cheers, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 15:34, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I started to clean this up, then realized almost nothing is sourced. Any thoughts, Drmies? 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 02:27, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RickinBaltimore and Yamla, our pal at 184.175.12.75 (talk · contribs) appears to have switched to 167.88.20.240 (talk · contribs) after I gave them another final warning. This [7] is what we've come to expect. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 04:06, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked. The disruption doesn't yet rise to the level of needing to protect Riot Act. Thanks. --Yamla (talk) 11:22, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Yamla. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 16:19, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Terrific foundation, whose entry here has been riddled with WP:COI editing for ten years. Drmies, have a look when you have a moment. The activities section can surely go, and there may be too many ELs at bottom. Cheers, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 22:57, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yep, a long history of poor editing... Drmies (talk) 01:01, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you, Drmies. Hope you're well. After some unseasonably warm weather we're finally getting some cool air here. The trees are just about bare. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 01:24, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Haha it's FREEZING here! Yeah I guess I'm OK. Got observed in class and did OK, so that's something. Honestly I can't wait to retire. My son asked me today why I became a teacher--if I had known it was going to be like this, with this kind of pay, and the amount of shit we have to eat, I would have thought much more carefully about my future. Bare trees? Time for Sonnet 73--bare choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. Drmies (talk) 01:28, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm sorry to hear that, Drmies. I remember being 'assessed' by department chairs who weren't competent to evaluate me, and that was the least of the things I came to abhor about academia. That is a beautiful sonnet, but of course. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 02:02, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an interesting one, when you have a few spare moments, Drmies. See [8]. Does the persistent addition of 'racist' merit a lot of rev/deletion, or does it stay in the edit history? You know which way I'm leaning--if it ain't sourced it's defamatory. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:CC3A (talk) 03:56, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
