Hi Katie, hope you're doing well. In September, you gave the above user a final warning notice here [1] and you told me to tell you if the behaviour continued. I'm sorry to report that he's still be adding unsourced content and completely made up claims, such as with this edit on Orchard Road ( [2]) and on Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CSR Sifang C151C here ( [3]). The disruption that his unsourced content is doing, from a readers perspective is quite bad, because before I signed up, when I was on holiday in India once, I remember reading the page BEST Transport division and read some unsourced content added by Timothyhouse1, which actually made me quite excited, but i searched the internet for an hour looking to see if the claim he wrote was true, and there were no results. When I revisited the page in October, I had a look at who had added it, and found out it was Tim, so this has been going on for some time. I think an indefinite block needs to be implemented unless he can learn to source whatever claim he makes. Sorry to have to tell you, and I'm not deliberately trying to get this user blocked, but I think this may be necessary now as it's the only way he will learn.

I'm not, never have nor ever will try to get you to "lose sleep" over anything here. The comment on ERRORS wasn't directed at you, but you over-reacted to it. We both messed up. I, for one, apologise for my role in that. I'm sorry you get rape threats and I'm even more sorry (for myself perhaps) that you thought I needed to ramp up my comments beyond rape threats to get to you.

Hi KrakatoaKatie. Is there anyway to have Whisk ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) long-term protected for confirmed users only? The article has been protected a quite a number of times since 2012 (the last time was by you in October), but the vandals come back everytime the protection expires. My guess is that it's the same person/group of people doing this, probably even the one(s) mentioned in the posts, as some kind of joke. They seem saavy enough to know how the protection thing works and to keep using different accounts. Some of what is being added mentions individuals by name and may even be considered a BLP violation. FWIW, I did recently request this at WP:RPP, but it was declined here. I have no problem with that decline, but want to know if it's worth making another RPP request or simply to just keep reverting this whenever it happens. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 22:28, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Please take a look at this: /info/en/?search=Special:Log/Ardathekaraof. Fairly-new editor with some editing issues created this account the same day they started editing. " Scientist Lover" could not be reported at SPI because it has a Title Blacklist. Thanks, Shearonink ( talk) 16:36, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Katie!
Hope you're well! Could do with a view on this one - NorwichFan2016 was created this afternoon and seems to be posting exclusively disruptive edits. Also a possible sock, see this diff: [4] - could you have a quick look if you get a spare minute? Thanks! Mike1901 ( talk) 19:25, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Katie, thank you for your help with WT's page. Although I may not agree with some of WP's policies and speak out, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the help that you and Marchjuly have given me. I'm deeply grateful to both of you.

Hey, I was wondering if you could rev delete and remove my latest edit on WP:ANI, and, subsequently, the ones here as well. This is to make sure that the troll does not know that I use an alt to report them, etc, and the identity of this account. It would be much appreciated.

you are really great is all I can say-- Wilson young ( talk) 11:02, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Katie,
The reason I'm writing you this is because the admin who personally unblocked the user in question hasn't been active for some time now ( Coffee), and the same goes for the other patrolling admins (Ohnoitsjamie and MaxSem). This user in question, "NadirAli" had his/her indefinite block lifted on 24 February 2016, on the condition that he'd receive an indefinite topic ban on uploading images. However, it seems that he has violated this 2-3 days ago on numerous ocassions as he uploaded a new WP:OR-loaded map (without any sources) on several articles [5] [6] [7] -- a map which he in fact has created himself on top of that as well. [8]
Hi, Katie. I wanted to become an admin. I have made over 100 edits. I have also had no blocks, or disruptive editing. So, do I qualify to be an administrator? -- Wyatt2049 ( talk) 20:29, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Saudi2828 restored all his deleted edits as you can see in ( [14] and [15]), and What sparked my attention is this edit! He did all this after two years of inactiveness as you can see in his contributions. regards -- Aṭlas ( talk) 16:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Katie! I noticed that you warned NFLjunkie22 that he/she might be blocked from editing for personal attacks ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:NFLjunkie22#November_2016). Well, you might want to see if his/her comments towards Johnuniq and I qualify as personal attacks. Especially where he calls Johnuniq sexist ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zara_Larsson#Consensus_for_removal_or_restoration). The comments were not constructive by any stretch of the imagination and I was somewhat offended by them. I would appreciate it if you would take a look at the comments and take the appropriate action. Thank you, Jith12 ( talk) 02:28, 3 December 2016 (UTC) Jith12 ( talk) 02:28, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, the user you currently blocked made these changes in his userpage ( [16]), ( [17]), is this appropriate? (I was mentioned too among others (including you), but I think I should not react or it would be improper). Thanks for the answer.( KIENGIR ( talk) 16:43, 4 December 2016 (UTC))
Hey Katie, it seems like for a while we were talking frequently, but lately not at all. Obviously you don't need me anymore. :-( I have now officially remedied this serious lapse by coming here to say pretty much nothing but hi. I hope all is well on and off wiki.

Hi Katie,
Once I was browsing the wikipedia and I found couple of same site links, which is purely to gain advertising or anything which help his site. Here are the link to all of the pages which is spammed. And These pages are high authority pages and I don't want to be spammed like this. /info/en/?search=Vodafone /info/en/?search=Idea_Cellular /info/en/?search=Aircel /info/en/?search=Bharat_Sanchar_Nigam_Limited
You have to take a look at external links section, where you will find out those words, Vodafone ussd codes, idea ussd codes, Aircel ussd codes, BSNL Ussd codes, these links are spammed links. Please take a look at it and take immediate action against his site and him. I just want to make wikipedia as clean as possible, I hope you will block and remove all his links.

Thanks for your semi-protection, it was a tuff fight to maintain the article against multiple IP vandals. You made it easier.
I would like to add, as the Syrian Arab Army are crushing the Free Syrian Army in Aleppo, the SAA supporters will likely rejoice and vandalise a bunch of FSA related articles. If you know were to report this alert, please copy-past that info. (1am here, going to bed).
Thanks for the semi-protection ! : ) -- Yug (talk) 23:38, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
hi!
it seems quite a lot of people maybe from syria want to edit the FSA article.
maybe it is not vandalism, maybe is for a reason!

Hi Katie.
Thanks for chipping in, and sorry that I keep pinging you about this. I'll be honest, I was originally thinking that WP:Hat collecting might come into play here, but it seemed like a bit of an AGF violation to suggest it originally, but I sense he might be getting on your nerves a little? If I may be Bold in suggesting it, do you think he could become a CIR case? I also didn't realise that was his second time on asking you about it. My mistake! :-/ If I suggested that WP:NOTSOCIALMEDIA might fit this scenario, what would you say? MM ('"HURRRR?) (Hmmmmm.) 13:50, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Katie, Not sure if you remember me- you gave me guidance on LiveChat this past week on how to avoid an edit war in my effort to neutralize JT Leroy [1] and Laura Albert [2] pages. I mentioned that I met Laura Albert in person about 10 years ago, but as you clarified, I feel I have been inaccurately labeled as having COI.
I have been working on the pages (as well as other pages [3]) of my own volition, as I enjoy learning about Wiki. I've also been studying the WP policy pages you referenced.
Huon articulated the situation. [4] I'm afraid of adverse affects to authors if there is undue weight given to Msturm's "outrage" [5] and disregard for the definition of "pseudonym." [6]
Per your instructions, I tried to discuss on the Talk page, initiated a DRN, and most recently on the BLPN. DRN was closed in deference to the BLPN, but there hasn't been progress otherwise as of yet.
Meanwhile, Msturm_8 reverted edits, [7] [8] I pointed out the user's actions, but did not engage in editing.
However, I gave up hope of discussion when I noticed that Msturm_8 accused me of collusion on another user's page [9]. Moreover, the user's language on the Talk page has become hostile [10]
I am seeking your help because I do not wish to be the target of further accusations or hostility.

Hi Katie, Thanks will study how to do diffs and wiki links. Sorry for the multiple revisions too, I wanted to make sure I wrote clearly even though I was feeling hurt. I decided to send an email instead of posting because I would rather not be in the middle of things anymore. I'd welcome my own conduct to be examined and for the other user to have the opportunity to speak for themselves, but I'd like to avoid being a target as much as I can help it. Thanks for your prompt response and for all your help. PacificOcean ( talk) 01:29, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Katie, I emailed the Oversight people but they didn't seem to care. I noticed that the BLPN post and the DRN posts have both disappeared. I just tried to edit the page and my edits were immediately reverted by Msturm_8. I am reluctant to post on WP:ANI because I don't want to be a target further; at this point MSturm_8 has reverted enough edits (both mine and other volunteers) in violation of WP policy that I hope it's not my place to keep flagging it. PacificOcean ( talk) 07:48, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Katie, I give up. I tried to get help on Live chat as Msturm_8 reverted my edits in realtime, and I was just brushed off and told to go somewhere else to "plead my case." It's not my case, I've been trying to keep the page neutral for the sake of Wikipedia quality and being true to its policy. I'm giving up. PacificOcean ( talk) 08:06, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
I very much appreciate your assistance, but I was under the impression on our chat that the other user's activity was self-evident and they were on their final straw. I was under the impression that if I pointed out their activity on DRN, then the community would evaluate from there. Instead it went idle, then I posted on BLPN and that went idle and went to the background. Meanwhile since I was told to engage the user in dialogue I did so, and that, as I anticipated, only ended up with me being false accused and on the bitter end of that user's hostility. If Wikimedia insists that this is "my case" to fight and doesn't want to look into it further, then that's their problem. It's not my problem if Wikimedia doesn't take it seriously when users violate Wikipedia's own policy of neutrality; especially when it relates to a living person who could potentially be hurt by libel. I've followed instructions, but it only drags out and I get hurt instead. This is not my problem, it's Wikimedia's, so I'm done. PacificOcean ( talk) 18:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
By the way, you should know that on the Talk page most recently the user in question has called the living subject a "pathological liar." I believe this kind of talk being allowed on Wikipedia is a potential liability for defamation. And Wiki is equally as corrupt by continually rerouting the user who is trying to point this activity out to them. PacificOcean ( talk) 18:25, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Katie, I saw you were an admin who quite recently edited WP:ANI. An editor (EEng) edited a non-admin-archived discussion I started, claiming they didn't know it was archived, although they would have had to see it was to even edit the section, and I think he just wanted to get the last word in. Is it not against policy for editors to do this? I was reverted for undoing the edit, with EEng saying I was to trying to "control" what he said, despite me only reverting because I thought it is against policy. If it is, and you disagree with their claim of not knowing it was archived, can you please undo EEng's restored comment to WP:ANI#User:Jennica cursing at me in edit summaries? 05:52, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
