Unconventional submission
The following is the entire infamous Black sandbox. I am leaving this baby on your doorstep. Please adopt it. We don't want it back because it won't stop crying. Good luck. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
The Black sandbox
Mass TV station edits
This is a page to keep track of a strange vandal who keeps adding info to TV station articles. He doesn't communicate. Feel free to modify this page. Please share your thoughts as to why this is happening?
- We've decided on a simple plan perdiscussion:
- The "simple plan" in a nutshell:
- Warn the user with the "More of the same" post below
- Check contribs some time in the future
- Rollback all
- Add the IP to the list below (and comments if you wish)
- Block IP if he continues
- The "simple plan" in a nutshell:
==More of the same==
I am about to revert your addition of unverified, unencyclopedic information to TV station articles. I see in your list of contributions that you have a habit of adding that sort of stuff, and I see on this talk page and/or others that you have been warned often enough for such edits to be called vandalism. I will use rollback to revert such additions, and give you one final warning: please stop your disruptive editing or you will be blocked. Thank you. ~~~~

50.90.36.24 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) Not sure if this editor fits the pattern, but similar edits lead me to believe so. What say you guys? --ḾỊḼʘɴίcả • Talk •I DX for fun! 03:56, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
I would say it's a different person: The IP is way off. Some of the edits don't fit the pattern (our vandal only does one thing, one way.) Those two facts individually make it unlikely. Together, highly unlikely. I think in fairness, we should only add 99%+ sure entries here. Suggeststrikingor removing from the list. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)The edit on the 15th and 20th look like the same pattern to me. If we don't see any more activity from the IP in the next few days, I would say, though, that it's pretty unlikely.Edit fix:Sorry, Anna, I meant to put this here. What I meant is, if it's only the 2 edits adding localized info, 5 days apart, it's probably not the same person since our regular vandal almost always works in batches of half a dozen or more. So if this stays quiet, I'd strike it as you suggest. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:42, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Qwyrxian (talk) 05:03, 21 July 2011 (UTC)- Are you sure you're adding comments below the right entry? 74.178.222.94 is an IP in the range of many of the others. Too much to be a coincidence. Plus, I see almost all the edits fitting the pattern. Are you sure? Also, you say "...If we don't see any more activity...". I don't understand. Historically, he hops IPs without being blocked.

Questions
- Now that I've found one (User:Parrot32X) and rolled back all of the edits, what do I do next, assuming more such edits come? Is AIV accepting these edits as vandalism, or do we have a go-to admin who concurs that this is disruptive?
- My view is just to check back after a while and revert any new edits. The path of least resistance and least effort. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I notice that a number of the TV station pages have, even after these reverts, a bunch of the "Localized version of..." slogans, which presumably slipped in a long time ago before we ever noticed the pattern. Should we go through and remove all of them? Should we, instead, like Neutralhomer once suggested, just remove all slogan sections in their entirety as unsourced? Or are the older additions "safe"?
Qwyrxian (talk) 04:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe Ganeshk could sick Ganeshbot on this to remove the sections automatically. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- If there's no source, and if it seems likely (not necessarily certain) that text was added by a vandal, then I think removal is a pretty safe move. (Mass edits can be disruptive, but mass removal of a distinctive pattern of vandalism is fine by me!)

Concerns about the purpose of this page
At first, I thought this page was going to be used strictly to collect the IPs used to add the unsourced "localized" station slogans to TV station pages. But the two most recent additions are not really related; futhermore, they seem to be making accusations against someone without notifying them. For example, the addition of non-notable former employees to TV station pages is not at all limited to TVFAN24--in fact, the whole reason I first came to TV station pages was because of the problem of lots of local people (sometimes, even ex-employees themselves) wanting to "memorialize" the ex-staff on these pages. I don't think it's appropriate to attribute that problem to him; I also don't think it's appropriate to list here. I also don't think that the adding of small towns is necessarily related to the localized slogan problem.
In other words, what I'm saying is, this page should not just become a repository of every person who makes an edit to a TV station page that we deem to be unconstructive. That seems to be a direct violation of the WP:POLEMIC part of WP:USER. In the case of the localized issue, I felt that the overwhleming nature of the problem, and the need to attempt to get enough IPs to see if a rangeblock is possible, provided a fair balance against the WP:USER issues. If this page is spiraling beyond that, it concerns me. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:31, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- This is honestly my first edit to the page; I was informed of it and though that the addition of non-notable cities was part of the MO, but it's obvious that isn't the case with this one, so I've removed the IP (who ran away upon rollbacking anyways). Nate • (chatter) 06:38, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Qwyrxian is right. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I want to get this off my books, so to speak. I started this because ANI went nowhere.
- Its purpose has been served, as far as I can see: It has gathered IP range info and an M.O. profile without wasting the SPI crew's time. Also, now, several eyes are on this rather annoying vandal.
- It is time, with agreement from others, to move this to an SPI for range blocks. Would this be okay? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:11, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I think I'm being tricked, now
So, sometimes (not always) when I revert the "localizer", I've also been removing any slogan tagged as "localized". But then, just now, I realized that most recently, it's not that xe's been adding a whole new slogan that is "localized", but is simply stating that one of the slogans already listed is "localized". That means, if I go and revert that, then I'm actually removing someone else's good faith addition along with the localization disruption. This whole problem is so frustrating--I so badly want to just take the nuclear option (i.e., remove all Station Slogan sections in their entirety until/unless sourced, which basically means never). Qwyrxian (talk) 04:35, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- I feel your frustration. Let's see what pans out with HelloAnnyong and rangeblocks. If that doesn't take care of things, we can bug Ganeshk about a script to go in there an zap the sections. We could probably get consensus for that at the TV wikiproject.
- This is some freaky stuff, eh? An actual person, actually sits down, spends hours doing this, sees the orange bar, reads the messages, knows darn well that his hours of work are removed in a flash, and logs dozens more hours. This is not a normal person. I suspect it might be to do with mental redardation/therapy/insanity/autism/senility, or something like that. I'm not being funny either.
- Anyway, the time suck is our fault. Actually warning and rolling back constitutes 1% of our energies. The rest is spent being mystified by this mosquito that's impossible to slap. :)Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:06, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

- I was also confused. The creator of the filter, User: Reaper Eternal, explained it to me: all the edit filter does is mark the edits with a special tag that isn't actual visible anywhere, unless you check the log. To see this, go to Special:AbuseLog and type in 426 into the Edit Filter ID box. In a sense, the filter doubles the recording we're doing here on this sandbox. It's possible that Cluebot interacts with the filter, but I'm not sure (I think Cluebot's functioning is intentionally opaque so that people can't game it). I don't know if it's possible for us to ask that action actually be taken by the filter when it catches things; I'd have to ask. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:02, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Range Blocks?
I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, so if it has, forgive me for bringing it up again. Would it be feasible to block 74.178.xxx.xxx, as that seems to be where the majority of those edits come from. You could also do 92.82.xxx.xxx. My only worry is those ranges seem pretty large, but it appears this editor/editors is/are never going to stop in the foreseeable future. Just my 2 cents.ḾỊḼʘɴίcả • Talk •I DX for fun! 02:36, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- On another note, I looked into the two ranges in question, and they are both from a person in the Jacksonville, FL area, with Bellsouth as his ISP. If this continues, I would constitute we have the right to let the ISP know of the abuse! --ḾỊḼʘɴίcả •Talk •I DX for fun! 02:48, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Is it really worth blowing time and keystrokes doing anything else? Just my two cents.Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I spend nearly 5-10 minutes a day on average. Nonetheless, a complaint to the ISP is probably useless; as far as I know, only one or two ISPs have ever responded positively to similar complaints. This is because they really don't care--the user isn't doing anything illegal, or even really unethical. Really, it's our "fault" for allowing open editing. In fact, to be honest, I'd be pretty unhappy if my ISP decided to harass or block me because some website said I'm not following their internal policy.
- As for rangeblocks, at some point I'll try to sit down and calculate them. I remember sometimes before reading that the big range looks like a problem, but that if it's broken down into smaller fragments, you can actually catch a lot of them. In other words, if this user had to keep recycling their modem 15 times just to get one IP address that worked, maybe that might be irritating enough for them to give up. Hope springeth eternal.

New idea--RfC coming
Alright, this is costing far too much time. And, really, part of the underlying problem is that we have all of these sections that have zero sources to begin with, so it's tough to justify what we should or shouldn't delete. Plus, I believe the most recent incarnation may have shifted tactics--the IP added new slogans, but didn't add the "localized version" text, making it even harder to justify the reverts. So, in the next couple of days, I'll be writing an RfC to be posted on the talk of the TV Station wikiproject, asking whether or not we can simply remove every single slogan section that isn't sourced. I'm even willing to allow an exception that says that if people have youtube links, they can post them on talk and, though they can't be sources in the article for copyvio reasons, that's sufficient to include them. If we can get consensus on that, then we just remove nearly every single slogan section from every single tv station article. I'll let the editors here know when I file that (may take a few days to write it up clearly). Qwyrxian (talk) 11:15, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
- Okay. Let's hope he doesn't simply add the section headings back when adding info. If we could only get a physical description of the person, I could make a voodoo doll and buy a jumbo-size box of pins. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- It's up: see WT:WikiProject Television Stations#RfC proposing removal of all unsourced station slogans. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:10, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Stopped?
Is it just me, or has the user been quiet for the last week or so? Qwyrxian(talk) 00:37, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed it too. I was going to say something, but I didn't want to jinx it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:44, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
- Rats! He's back. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:36, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe even vandals take summer vacation? But now, it's back to the old grindstone? Sigh. I made an update at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations. Qwyrxian(talk) 01:22, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe he became "temporarily sane" for a month, then woke up yesterday, put on a pair of flippers and a fruit basket hat, and said to himself "Yep. Today, I think I will add nonsense to articles for 8 hours, watch it all get reverted, then coat the inside of all my luggage with Marmite." Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:41, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
