Request for help from an admin
As I don't want to be accused of being some former moderator causing trouble in a very rude away again, I'll report the changes to Luke Evan's personal life section here for you to handle. It's the same user who brags on Instagram about changing his and Victor Turpin's respective wikis by using speculative sources that include no quotes or interviews from the individuals themselves as they are completely obsessed with the supposed pairing. If you do a reverse IP lookup on the person, these changes are all from the same small town in New Jersey. Every month or so this person will get agitated by something on Instagram and will immediately go here to change their pages back to the same wording that admins take back down again. Just wanted to give a heads up as a friend of mine called me, laughing that MischiefManaged63 was up to their old tricks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:247:C580:4402:8D1D:8ACB:F276:BE5 (talk) 20:01, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The article on Victor Turpin appears to have been moved to Draft:Victor Turpin 2. One or more revisions have been removed from the public archives, so admins are aware. There's been some disruption at Luke Evans, but that's also been dealt with.
 * Here are some steps you can take in future or if you still have concerns:


 * If you have evidence that multiple accounts are being abused, then admins with checkuser rights can perform the IP lookups you suggest and will if applicable block the accounts. Make your report at WP:SPI.
 * Where editors are repeatedly adding defamatory or libelous material to articles about living people over an extended period, report it to WP:BLP/N.
 * Ongoing vandalism, which requires urgent attention, can be reported to WP:AIV.


 * I hope that helps. --kingboyk (talk) 20:49, 30 August 2019 (UTC)


 * It does. Thank you so much! I've reported it to the appropriate link that you provided given I'm afraid to make the change myself- even with an edit summary and sources- as the last time this occurred a Wikipedia moderator/admin temporarily blocked me, accusing me of being some previous admin trying to cause problems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:247:C580:4402:8D1D:8ACB:F276:BE5 (talk) 22:59, 30 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm very happy to hear that I helped you, and thanks for filing the report.
 * I'm not going to dig into your personal history. Either you are "some previous admin trying to cause problems", or the admin who blocked you made a mistake . Mistakes can be expected to happen from time to time as none of us is perfect.
 * So, let's proceed on the far more likely basis that a mistake was made and that you're here in good faith:
 * If you want to stick around, I suggest you create an account. Ease yourself in gradually, and stay away from controversial topics to begin with. As you get more experience and establish a profile, your confidence will grow and you'll feel part of the community. I'll leave you a welcome message in a moment which links to lots of useful information.
 * If you just wanted to file a report and have no plans to stick around then, well, thanks again and job done!
 * If you need any further help, use the help me templates or if you want some help from me specifically, ping me or leave a message on my user talk page. Cheers. --kingboyk (talk) 23:39, 30 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Just leaving a note to record that some remedial edits have already been made to the Luke Evans article in response to your report, so thanks again for filing it! --kingboyk (talk) 04:47, 31 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I just want to thank you guys so much. I tried to report this user a couple of months ago and had the most horrible experience with whichever admin spoke to me. The refused to even look at what was in the source material, saying it was a trusted outlet and didn't need verifying all while accusing me of being someone they'd had problems with and blocking me. This has been a breath of fresh air compared to that experience. I don't know if I'd ever edit pages on here, but I've got a far better image of the people behind the scenes on this site now, so thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:247:C580:4402:1D44:415A:539E:F314 (talk) 16:56, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
