The Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! page
Hey, I was actually trying to revert vandalism on that page, instead of adding vandalism. TempoaryAcc (talk) 10:16, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

The Nicholas Leonicus Thomaeus article
Hi. You blocked a New Jersey IP for making disruptive edits there. Now another New Jersey IP is making the same edit. The New Jersey IPs are obvious socks of User:Deucalionite who has been disrupting the article with IPs and confirmed sock accounts for years. Can you put semi-protection on the article for some time?

- After the semi-protection expired, an IP (obviously a sock of Deucalionite again) disrupted the article. Can you do sth to prevent further disruption? Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 11:58, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- If it continues I will. 1 edit 6 days after the page protection expired isn't enough to redo the protection. Let me know if it continues EvergreenFir (talk) 18:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

US bias
Don't ever post on my talkpage or ping me ever again (this includes handing out of ITN credits). You're obviously trying to WP:BAIT me with your responses at WP:ITNC. And I will not apologise for calling out a clear and obvious bias on ITNC if this is posted but the Copenhagen shooting is not. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:42, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- That is one of the odder messages I've received for a regular reply to a comment. I won't deny bias, but I do think the scale between Copenhagen and Highland Park makes both a quantitative and qualitative difference between the two. Perhaps you need a break though? Preemptively banning someone from communicating with you over one minor instance seems ... extreme. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:19, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Editing 'second americal civil war'
Kindly refrain from removing the edits i've made to the page which are a) minor b) give greater clarity about a previously out of context caption c) give references and links which clearly back the edits up. StarkGaryen (talk) 05:35, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Please review WP:MINOREDIT as neither of your edits were "minor". I reverted primarily because of your inaccurate ([1]) commentary about Stacey Abrams which was editorialization in the caption of a photo. EvergreenFir (talk) 15:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Your administrator actions on Patrick Lancaster
Please can you explain these administrator actions [2] [3]? I did not re-add the contentious propagandist claim when re-adding the Zaborona source. The use of the Zaborona source has been disputed only for establishing the notability of the subject, not the benign matters, like what he is known for. IntrepidContributor (talk) 19:57, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- The issue was "Pro-Russian" and that Zaborona does not appear to be a reliable source. I took a look and cannot find any list of editors or indication of editorial oversight. You can start a discussion at WP:RSN if you would like others' input on the matter. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:06, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- EvergreenFir, I have a friend who is an admin on the Russian Wikipedia and he says you should not be doing administrator actions if you have a point of view on the reliability of the source. Are you aware of this policy? IntrepidContributor (talk) 17:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- And I already posted to the RSN noticeboard: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Zaborona. Please can you post your concerns there about editorial oversight instead of doing administrator actions? Thank you. IntrepidContributor (talk) 17:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I agree with your friend. If a source is not solidly reliable, it is appropriate to use admin actions to preserve WP:BLP. The reverse would be a problem... if I thought a WP:QUESTIONABLE source was perfectly okay to use on a BLP and then used my admin status to force the issue.
- I will post on RSN. Thanks for pointing it out. EvergreenFir (talk) 17:47, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure who is right but the article is now deleted because it lacked the sources for notability, like the Zaborona source you deleted. This was not a good admin action because there are many articles about living pro-Russian propagandists on Wikipedia. Please give me a copy of the deleted article so I can translate it into Russian. IntrepidContributor (talk) 18:01, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Short site blocks kill long page blocks (Bugzilla has been informed)
Hi, Evergreen. When you blocked the big range 2409:4071::/33 for 48 hours (and also for a week..?) on 17 June, did you mean to shorten LuK3's and NinjaRobotPirate's longer page blocks? Because, in practice, that happened. I'm planning to block the range from the article Sanskrit, myself. Would it be allright if I restored the earlier page blocks also? Bishonen | tålk 08:15, 15 July 2022 (UTC).
- PS, I meant to link this. Bishonen | tålk 08:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC).
- @Bishonen I did not mean to shorten those page blocks. Is there a way to do a shorter site block as well as a longer page block? And yes, please do feel free to restore them. Sorry about that. EvergreenFir (talk) 16:07, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. No, it seems there's no way. Bugzilla was indeed consulted, and per the grapevine, she let it be understood that the whole partial block system would have to be ripped to shreds and started afresh to accomplish such a thing, and they're not gonna. That's what I heard. Bishonen | tålk 19:14, 15 July 2022 (UTC).

DISNEY OWNED SABAN ASSETS
Saban company is defunct now. All Saban assets owned by The Walt Disney Company and I want to Edit Infobox information with Current Distributor DISNEY PLATFORM DISTRIBUTION.
Because the Saban Assets not stream on Disney+ and who wants to watch any Saban show again must be stucking of the company infos and won't want from Disney+.
I'm sorry but original distributor rule is totally useless. I want an exception for Disney owned Saban assets. Because I'm trying to makin digital tracking. American Copyright Office website not give to anychance for sharing links. Can I share DVD Notices or not edited screenshot from the American copyright office website? How can I give current ownership information for TV Shows? Can you help me? Extormophie Exolus (talk) 22:03, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Extormophie Exolus - Template:Infobox_television makes it clear that the parameter is for the original distributor. The purpose of Wikipedia is not to provide a TV guide or "digital tracking" but rather to document things as they are or were. In the case of a former TV series, we document it as it was.
- If you want to change this standard practice, go to WT:TV or WP:VP. EvergreenFir (talk) 01:55, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Resumption of disruptive editing by a previously blocked IP(?)
I think you might want to take a look again at the edits of 98.149.220.34. I do not think that all of their edits are disruptive per se; it seems that most of them are changing the formatting in articles to American English and the mdy date format (citing MOS:RETAIN often). A little odd to seemingly have one purpose, but not necessarily disruptive (it's similar to edits I make myself, actually). What is odd, however, is their editing spree which started on 12 July.
Their edits, often simple changes, have very bizarre edit summaries which read more like social media comments. A lot of the edits are also made for sole purpose of making a long comment (mini rant) and are immediately reverted by themselves afterwards. They also wrote a non-sensical rant on their talk page before it was blanked by another editor. Also worth noting that they promised to "leave Wikipedia" after their previous block, but instead they just edited other users' comments, their own unblock request, and then blanked their talk page.
I left a comment on their talk page about their edit summary behaviour and hopefully they'll give more constructive comments now. If not, they're not really communicating but making edits and reverts accompanied by mini rants, and I would doubt if they're really here to build an encyclopedia. Regardless, considering their behaviour on Wikipedia as a whole, I personally think it would be better for them if they were permanently blocked, since they're wasting their own time obsessively writing non-sensical comments on the site every few days (in six-day intervals, to be exact).

1. I'm sorry for using sarcastic sense of humor as others, and I promise not to write like this again as it's not professional. However: I was going to be kind and let it slide, as I am a respectful person. However, as an experienced user (since 2015), I'm sure he knows perfectly know what the rules are/what he's doing here: He has apparently undid many formats MANY times, only to insert his own format later in contrary of both wiki policy AND local usage.
"Hello there! For articles about non-English speaking nations or cultures, please do not randomly and unilaterally switch mdy date format to dmy format !!!just because you like it better" and "Similarly, see MOS:STYLERET: "enforcing optional style in a bot-like fashion without prior consensus is never acceptable." --2022, March

And "Hi, just to let you know that changing date formats in citations to suit your preferences is not allowed, see WP:CITEVAR for the policy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Yue/Archive_3#Date_format I was reverting his THIRD, random change of an article that had been at the same date format for ten YEARS. He did not even give ANY reason for his change in edit summary, etc. Now THAT is true disruptive editing.
1. I'm sorry for using sarcastic sense of humor as others, and I promise not to write like this again as it's not professional. However: Mr. Yue was warned many times not to make sudden, forced changes.

Furthermore, he's done it on articles such as this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Day_of_the_Republic_of_China&type=revision&diff=883736616&oldid=869838077 Removed the engvar tag/replacing date fofrmats WITHOUT appealing to wiki policies like RETAIN, poststub, TIES (local usage) etc OR citing ANY reason in edit summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Day_of_the_Republic_of_China&type=revision&diff=988210260&oldid=983103561
RE: His personal accusations: I chose to blank the talk page because other admins said I have the right to do so, and that's part of my promise to leave. Last time, when I was new to wiki, I ignorantly "edited" that other person's comment with academic sources I cited because I was ignorant of wiki policies/saw that they were missing academic context.
I immediately heeded the experienced user's warnings/citing of (100s of pages long policy) and did not do it again/apologized immediately.
I personally think it would be better for this serial vandal to be blocked for quite a longer period of time because he is very experienced (been here many years), unlike me, a new user whose goal (was) to share sarcastic opinions and edit glaring, algorithm boosted mistakes (I dislike Google for this) before leaving. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.149.220.34 (talk) 17:03, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @Yue: I blocked the IP for three months; we don't generally do "permanent" (indefinite) blocks for IP addresses since they tend to be reassigned after a while. Please feel free to reach out to me if the issues resume. --Blablubbs (talk) 17:22, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

- @Dimensions-of-reality A lot of it was tangential to race (WP:COATRACK) and not about "anti racism" per se. The size of the content was WP:UNDUE and connecting most of it to anti racism is original research. EvergreenFir (talk) 17:28, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
