TBAN Removed
Hi Normal Op,
Per the ANI consensus I have closed the discussion as in favour of removing the TBAN. Please take care with future editing in this area.
The final comment in the ANI discussion raised a concern outside of the dogs TBAN area about potentially risky edits in other areas. It didn't specifically pertain to the TBAN or indicate a likely violation, but please make sure that the general care you've been showing in other areas of editing doesn't slide.
Have fun!

Fan editing again
Hi Normal Op, sorry to bother you but there is a Paulina Rubio fan who keeps adding content on different articles in order to promote the artist that they like even if the content is irrelevant or can't be verified. They first add content and as a source they use the YouTube link to the official music videos on her channel when it's not even proper source. They first did it here (which I spoke to you about and we fixed it) and they most recently did it here. I reverted the most recent one since they clearly used it to promote the artist since their source it's just a link to the music video which doesn't verify that the video was actually inspired by that anime. They recently added back the content with a new source that still doesn't verify that the video was indeed inspired by that specific anime but instead it says that part of the video was made like a Japanese cartoon. I still wanted to challenge that content but when that user added it back, their response was passive aggressive as you can see here. They have tried edit warring with me in the past as well with a couple other users so I want to avoid that but they just won't stop linking Paulina Rubio onto articles (such as the Akira manga, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Selena Gomez) even if the information they add is either irrelevant, unverified, or of minimal impact on the articles they are adding it too. Can you help me out please? FanDePopLatino (talk) 22:57, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- @FanDePopLatino: Sure, I'll look into this. Normal Op (talk) 22:59, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Normal Op: Thanks! I appreciate it. FanDePopLatino (talk) 23:03, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- @FanDePopLatino: I researched his edits; wow! That editor is headed down the path to AVI or ANI. He is too far gone for WikiProject Spam to do anything about the editor, but they may be able to correct a bunch of his edits if you report the spam there. Five years and 2,000 edits with 99% being about Paulina Rubio makes him a WP:Single-purpose account. Considering that for the last two years other editors have been repeatedly correcting him on his User talk page, and apparently he is ignoring the advice, he probably doesn't deserve any further warnings before AVI/ANI. However, it might make an ANI easier if we revert his incorrect edits and tag his User talk page according to an appropriate template at Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace#Promotion. His edits are definitely spam, occasionally outright false, usually include original research, and together they make a pattern of promotion (with a potential COI/PAID thrown in). He fails to follow numerous guidelines about citations, but his predominant "error" is using inappropriate links (MOS:EXTERNALLINKS, WP:RS). I doubt seriously he will stop. Let's do that and see what happens. Normal Op (talk) 03:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Normal Op: sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for looking into that. I really appreciate it. Now that you reverted some of his edits and warned him on his talk page, should I report him now or should we wait to see if he continues to spam even after being warned? And if I should report him right now, which specific page should I report him to? FanDePopLatino (talk) 19:41, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- @FanDePopLatino: It would probably be AVI or ANI. But after reading those policies, they clearly mentioned wanting someone to have been warned. Therefore (though I have drafted a report already) I decided we need to warn in present time and not rely on the older (over last two years) warnings. The editor's reaction, if any, will indicate which board to report on. Normal Op (talk) 20:02, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Normal Op: ok thanks. I'll let you know if I see the editor spamming/vandalising again. FanDePopLatino (talk) 21:44, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
