 * As all of your edits have been to change referenced text to material more favourable to World War II-era Italy without substituting new references or providing any evidence that you have consulted the references, I am blocking this account. As the account has been used for disruptive purposes only the block duration has been set to indefinite. Nick-D (talk) 23:29, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

This is highly unfair and irregular to block me indefinitely. Other Wiki editors, please take note!!!

"You recently blocked User:Patton976 for having a "disruption only account". This block was carried out after a fellow member of a wikiproject made a complaint on that project's talkpage. Neither you nor the complaining editor attempted any communication with the "offending" party, not on the article's talkpage and not on their own. Where were they to have defended their edits? On the MILHIST talkpage? Seems totally inappropriate. Primergrey (talk) 12:55, 28 June 2019 (UTC)proven "

Primergrey, please contact me. This cannot be allowed to continue. My edits were made in good faith. There has been an awful lot of negative, stereotyped and derogatory edits make about the Italians in WW2, usually by cherry-picking material by editors who are partial and biased in their own way. It is long overdue, to review many of the Wiki articles dealing with the Italians, and clean them up. For example, it has been proven by many historians that the delay to Operation Barbarossa was not caused by the German entry into Greece in early 1941, and yet still, it remains. It is an argument that has been totally discredited by historians, and yet it remains a "cause" for Germany's defeat in Russia because they had to come to the "rescue" of the Italians. All historians agree that the Italians did not need any "rescuing" from the Greeks; that in fact, it was the Greeks who needed the "rescuing."

Please Wiki editors, it is time to do the right thing and clean up Wikipedia of the blatant anti-Italian bias that has so infused and corrupted so many WW2 articles. Recent scholarship now claims that the Italian performance in the war was not as bad as that portrayed during and after the war. Use more recent scholarship and delete more of the nonsense!!!!

Based on the above, it seems highly likely that this is the latest sockpuppet of, and I've tagged the account accordingly. Nick-D (talk) 23:01, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

I don't know who AnnalesSchool is, but if we have similar opinions, then perhaps that is a good thing and a coincidence. More and more people are starting to realise the truth about the Italian role in the war and are changing their views. Perhaps it's time Wiki editors realised this and are starting to make the change. Enough derogatory remarks about the Italians. For example, when the Italians withdraw, it is a "humiliating retreat" but when the Allies withdraw, it is described as to "retire gradually".

Enough of this blatant bias in language.

'''And remember, we are a growing movement of very concerned Wiki editors, a dozen or more. Our numbers are growing and changes are happening in a myriad of small tweets and edits, here and there. We can no longer be stopped or silenced.'''

Yamla,

I unconditionally refuse to retract the threats I've made. Unless I am unblocked immediately, my associates and I will continue to remove/alter derogatory references about the Italians using various usernames and anonymous entries. You can ban some of us sometimes, and some of us all the time but you cannot BAN ALL OF US ALL THE TIME! I suggest you start to seriously think about permanently locking nearly all the Wiki articles dealing with the Italian military in WW1 and WW2.22:11, 29 June 2019 (UTC)Patton976 (talk)
 * Since you not only refuse to retract your threats, but doubled down on them, there is nothing more to do here, and I have removed your talk page access. That leaves you with WP:UTRS to request unblock should you change your mind. 331dot (talk) 22:23, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

As the above confirms that this is a sockpuppet of AnnalesSchool, I have tagged the account accordingly and placed it on record at Sockpuppet investigations/AnnalesSchool. Nick-D (talk) 02:36, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
