User talk:Iggy the Swan/Archive/2024 1

Bits and pieces
Hi there, all well?

1 - beginning to get nightmarish so to speak this one (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Esteban_Solari#Correction_on_the_coach_biography), even tough i'd call it just idiotic; i'm beginning to think this user has some kind of problem with Héctor Bidoglio (not with Esteban Solari, he won everything last season, fans ALWAYS forgive winners, NEVER losers, right? Pathetic!), so they want no mention whatsoever of the former in this article or others (even though we're talking of coaches with heavily intertwined careers!). I was reverted for the fifth or sixth time (in one instance, this person even used the misleading summary "Fixed" for removing a source!), yet the account remains unblocked...

2 - continuing with Malaysian football: vulgar insults directed at Natxo Insa following a (supposedly) poor performance in the Asian Cup, and his fullname remained vandalised for a few days until I corrected it. What on earth is wrong with these "people" (not the page patrollers, the vandals, mind you)?! In this case it's even worse than in item 1, as this "user" not only was not blocked but they did not receive a single warning (i won't be bothered to reproduce their words here, but it's from 21 January at noon; then someone reverted them, the vandal reinstated the foul language and insulted the person that removed it!

Kind regards, continued the good work here RevampedEditor (talk) 07:41, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * This is all about tedious vandal edits going on here or disputes between both editors. I don't know much about Malaysian football. WP:AIV mostly guarantees accounts to be blocked as GiantSnowman says on the football talk page. The Insa page looks good enough to read at this moment after looking at that page myself. I have been on Wikipedia long enough to know personal commentaries are not allowed on articles unless quoted from the relevant source... Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:05, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Regarding "Jonny the Wolf", this quick Google search reveals talks happening (please see here https://www.google.com/search?q=jonny+wolves+paok&rlz=1C1GCEU_pt-PTPT906PT906&oq=jonny+wolves+paok&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRifBdIBCDMyODBqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8, it includes a BBC Sport piece), nothing official thus far.

Keep safe from Jocelyn, take care! --RevampedEditor (talk) 12:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is true re Jonny. p.s. I have removed the notice at the top of the page as it does not apply here anymore. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 17:38, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Indeed, it happened! I got reverted because i reverted an unsourced addition, then received this message (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:193.137.135.5#Johnny_Castro_Otto). Lo and behold, they did it again without a source!!

I grew tired of it, sourced transfer myself (now official). Take care, glad to help. --RevampedEditor (talk) 20:34, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thankfully Jonny Otto is definitely at the Greek club as sourced correctly but now there needs to be an agreement on how to title that article. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 12:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

As i wrote in the article's talk last week, i would leave it like it is (with or without the year) and would never move it to the nonsensical (as far as i'm concerned of course) "Jonny Otto", that's a name/nickname compound.

However, if the majority decides otherwise, cheerio and on we move! --RevampedEditor (talk) 13:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've seen the article's talk page with your comments. Happy editing, Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 14:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

FYI
I saw your revert of my edits, saying I'm a Sockpuppet, I'm not I used to have an account on here but can't gain access to it anymore due to the email account being registered to an old number that I can't access and have started a fresh on this one. So please ask next time instead of assuming. Thanks DudleyinHorsham (talk) 13:01, 28 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I'll invite to join in here, who believed you are a sock first, not me. I can't imagine which other account was used as I have not been on there long enough. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:54, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for the ping. I stand by what I wrote in the SPI. Thanks. Aoi (青い) (talk) 16:01, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Sheldon Murray
Hello Iggy the Swan. I wonder do you think that this user's edits need some discussion somewhere? They seem to be contrary to infobox advice. Or perhaps a Talk page warning might be required? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, a discussion should be used to determine what detail should be needed. Another Wikipedian named Mattythewhite had also reverted some of these contributions as well, quoting "Not needed" as part of the edit summaries. While it is three editors against one {while another one thanked me for this edit), it seems likely there could be agreement on displaying minimal detail as possible. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:44, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what the current advice on the infobox template seems to call for. Perhaps one of the interested editors could invite User:Sheldon Murray to a suitable neutral venue for discussion? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Indeed, repeated editing of adding too much detail to infoboxes regarding London boroughs should be considered disruptive. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:15, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It seems User:FMSky is happy to just keep reverting. They have now left a request at User talk:Sheldon Murray. So we'll see what happens. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:30, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I assume the IP address commented would not be that same person operating, at first glance I thought it was. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 17:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've just seen that now, thanks. I have no idea who that IP might be. But they may be mixing up historical locations (which is wholly correct) with overly detailed locations (which are not). I guess in some cases they might overlap. But most of Sheldon Murray's edits seem to be for modern BLP articles. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:51, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Is it just me, or do the edits here look a little bit similar? Regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * FMSky has now done a global revert. Regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll have to agree these two users are operated by the same person. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Both now indef blocked. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Which includes a couple of other sock accounts. I've checked these contributions myself, they are obviously very similar. This user fails to take note of the "formal warnings" by FMSky and Discospinster. I have no idea when future edits will appear next on my watchlist or elsewhere.
