:[[User:Vvven]], if you intend to start your work from a raw machine translation, you should be editing offline. Don't add such material to a live article such as [[Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes]], since you are risking a block for doing so. Don't upload any material to Wikipedia until it is at least as good as a competent human translation. And if you do so, you need proper attribution if it came originally from the Spanish Wikipedia.

Non-admin closures at AN3
You recently closed a report on WP:AN3 for User:Speedy135 as having been blocked by User:Finlay McWalter for vandalism for 24 hours. I had also seen the same thing, and I had seriously considered closing it in basically the same way as you did: simply stating the outcome and adding the appropriate templates. Would that have been inappropriate for me to have done, as I'm not an administrator on this Wikipedia? J♯m (talk | contribs) 18:29, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- This sometimes happens at ANI, but it is not common at AN3. Whichever admin does the closing at the 3RR board is going to check both parties and the article itself to see if either more blocks or a protection would be indicated. A non-admin is not in a position to do this. The other catch is that if there is already a block in place, it could be via a post at WP:RFPP where the RFPP closer has not even seen the 3RR data, so they may be unaware of the full scope.

Igaalbania and Iaof2017 redux
Hi Ed. After an editor came to my talkpage to alert me about Iaof2017's edits, I decided to investigate further. Aside from the usual GFDL violations, due to shuffling large amounts of text between Wikipedia articles without attribution (check this large edit, for example, also marked as minor), I came across this blatant copyvio by this user, copied from cclaw.al:
Its oil and gas is represents of the most promising albeit strictly regulated sectors of the Albanian Economy of Albania. Oil and gas reserves still remain property of the Albanian State, which enters into agreements and grants rights with regard to evaluation, exploration, production, processing and transport of the product.
I also noticed that Diannaa revdeled copyvios from Tourism in Albania (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) on 1 February 2017, soon after Iaof2017 edited the article. If it turns out the revdeled edits belong to Iaof2017, then the copyvio pattern becomes stronger for this account. Additionally, I noticed that the time clocks of Igaalbania and Iaof2017 are remarkably similar. I know, that the CU results at the SPI came up as unlikely, but the similarities between these two accounts are not going away. Imo, if left unchecked, this account is going to render the articles s/he edits into a copyvio/GFDL-violation salad. But, this is only my opinion. Dr. K. 08:31, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- I'm keeping an eye on this. You should feel free to let me know of conspicuous problems. The note at your talk page looked bad at first, but the User:Peter K Burian revised his comment later. If you are hoping for a sock block, then there needs to be a duck case. If ARBMAC, then there needs to be obvious nationalist editing. Mere fluff is hard to prosecute, especially when many of the edits could be viewed as beneficial. EdJohnston (talk) 04:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for helping Carl. Good result for the project, in the end. Guy (Help!) 23:46, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
POV-push at Illyrians
Hi Ed. FYI, please see my report at 3RRN. Account has all the hallmarks of past socks in that area. Rolandi+ (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) comes to mind. Dr. K. 18:10, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Editor is violating WP policy and copyright law by adding raw Google translations to English Wikipedia.
Hi Ed, I'm having a problem with a user who is adding raw Google translate text, of very poor quality, from Spanish Wikipedia articles to English WP articles. I reverted his addition of such text to the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes article, but he has reverted my reversion, as you can see from the article's revision history. I am getting tired of cleaning up after this guy, who denies doing what anyone can plainly see he is doing. Carlstak (talk) 01:13, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- I left a note for User:Vvven. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:37, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
