We apparently have a wiki-stalker: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/LittleMemories for the most recent version. Any advice/ideas on longer-term measures or is this just gonna be a whack-a-mole situation? Thanks in advance. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:29, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Eggishorn: I've been collecting some data on this troll, I'll see what I can do. Block on sight of course, but this case is worth running checkuser. People have the weirdest obsessions. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:12, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. They must have a really simple, worry-free life if they have the time and energy for this. <rolleyes> Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:47, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Because they have all the subtlety of a Jägermonster, I've watchlisted all the "Italian Destroyer <xxx>" articles. Almost all the legit edits are by either Chesipiero or Sturmvogel 66, so any redlinked user making a series of one-letter changes will be an obvious sock. I can format a list of those if you want to also add them to your watchlist. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:32, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for introducing me to the "Clear" formatting template
Thanks for fixing the L St Laurent page, and also introducing me to a formatting template I didn't know existed. Will come in handy! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 23:33, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
Suggestion
You're being baited. Don't fall for it. Just disengage (as I did further up the page) before you say something in anger/annoyance that will complicate your life. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:55, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, you're no fun. But thank you for the advice, I will go do something else. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 19:02, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- They're resorting to something like the Chewbacca defense. I particularly like the:
- Editor G: States opinion as fact.
- Editor P: Counters that with opposite opinion, with concrete argument.
- Editor G: Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
- I know you have more patience than I do (how could you not?), but it seemed like it might have started to work on you. Maybe not, I did kind of ignore the possibility you were having fun. Talking to people like that is the opposite of fun for me, maybe I was assuming. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:11, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- I was expecting something more akin to green cheese: "Show me a real world example. ... That example is about New Brunswick. Show me a real world example". But then also following up with "Wikipedia is not the real world", so I guess we were going to go in circles no matter what. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 19:16, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

- Honestly, I have to thank you; the edit conflict with one of your replies gave me time to reconsider posting my own, allowing me to just stop re-engaging with someone who--ahem--isn't open to changing their mind about this subject. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 19:17, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- I'm proud to have been of some service. People don't have to be open-minded to edit here of course, but on a project with so many people from so many different backgrounds, it helps, and it's too bad that more people don't see it that way. People are entitled to their opinions, but when an editor's expression of their opinion negates the personhood of a broad group of fellow editors, my opinion is that they deserve to be challenged. We won't change that editor and it's pointless to try, but they're not the only ones watching. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 19:30, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
