Hello, there is a user who I think is a sock puppet. The user in question is "BKeira930". BKeira930 is obsessed with editing composition sections in music articles. Their edits usually consist of them adding original or unreliable information. Administrators typically revert their edits, yet BKeira930 always reverts them back, which causes a disruption. Also, nearly each month BKeira930 is warned by administrators about their actions and they finally got blocked. In the midst of their blocking several accounts popped up such as "Tidalwave417" and "Yogartcups". I think user "BKeira930" is behind those two accounts.

@OkIGetIt20 I don't think there is enough evidence to check here, sorry. There's some difference between the two accounts and BKeira930 without even checking, and they registered after BKeira930's block had already expired they had returned to editing. Other than editing that one article, there isn't enough to go on. -- ferret (talk) 22:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for bothering but I need to ask a favor. The article Alucard (Castlevania) has had an edit war in regards to the character's sexuality in the Netflix series. People discussed it in the talk page but it has become inactive, leading to removal of a category. I don't want to block the two users especially since the one who added it has good faith in my view and that he kept properly improving most Castlevania's articles in the past weeks.

@Tintor2 Indefinitely partial blocked from the Alucard article. I almost blocked them outright, as their entire career is on the removing and erasure of LGBTQ characterizations in media. -- ferret (talk) 01:19, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello sir. The user Boneless Pizza! was keep using my name and my quotes as part of his user page. I warned him several times but he keep ignoring me. Although he stopped when he got an email.[1] Regardless, I won't tolerate this behavior. I have some self-respect too, if he wanted to use me on his user page then he should've talked to me and ask for permission. Kazama16 (talk) 10:45, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Self-respect" really? You made a personal attack three times at Wikimedia Common and got blocked for three days [2] and after that you taunted me at my talk page [3] because you're so pissed.  🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 10:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't change the topic to Wikimedia Commons. This discussion is currently being discussed on Wikipedia and has nothing to do with your comment. But if you still want to talk about it then alright this is the first personal attack I made. [4] and then I apologized for it, saying "I'm really sorry 😔" because I felt guilty and sorry for you, and wanted to end the argument. [5] but you still proceeded to put a clown emoji on me even after I apologized to you. [6] and that's why I got angry. After all this Oscar winning story. You decided to use my Wikimedia Commons quote on your user page without my permission. [7] Well done that's all I want to say about you. You have a genius mind so please use it correctly and be merciful. Kazama16 (talk) 11:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Boneless Pizza! If someone ask you not to mention or discuss them on your talk page, you generally should honor that. This is the type of conflict that can lead to interaction bans, and given your shared editing interests, that would be quite a burden for both of you.

@Kazama16 If I ever see anything like that talk page post to Commons, or a snarky post about grammar that was clearly an attack, on English Wikipedia again, you can expect an indefinite block. Shape up. We're not interested in this kind of behavior. I also suggest you fix your understanding of Youtube and license laundering in regards to Commons. It seems you were outright mistaken entirely, but CC-BY claims on YouTube require a critical eye to ensure the person claiming it is actually the copyright holder with authorization to make a release, and even then, they are still deleted in some cases when its beyond any doubt that a huge megacorporation would free license their main copyrights. -- ferret (talk) 14:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Ferret, ive seen you have removed my text from the Discord wiki. Please check the facts about the Discord raid/spam bots before you delete somethings which are correct. Wikil0ll3a (talk) 14:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) As ferret mentioned in the edit summary, it was removed on the grounds of being unsourced, not because it was false. It also was written very informally - it didn't sound like an encyclopedia at all, it sounded like someone chatting it up with a buddy or something. Ferret was right to remove it, it wasn't appropriate as is. Sergecross73 msg me 14:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sergecross73

Ok. Wikil0ll3a (talk) 19:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to post some videos on the topic, but they're blacklisted. Wikil0ll3a (talk) 14:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikil0ll3a Details like this need to be sourced to reliable secondary sources. Many videos are user-generated and self-published, which are unreliable for use on Wikipedia. As a quick example of a reliable source that might cover Discord issues like this would be Wired magazine or ArsTechnica. -- ferret (talk) 15:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was editing new content at the list of works based on Arthurian legends page.

I made 2 edits. but then I checked history and noticed a strange quick revert by one user. His account was old since 2016 but never made any edit before today. then suddenly, he started making reverts to many different topical pages including the one I worked in above and threatened me in my talk page with a typical warning message of vandalism.

See the revert edit from that user. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_works_based_on_Arthurian_legends&diff=1229816576&oldid=1229816508&variant=en

Also please check his recent history targeting other users with the same warning.

It is very strange. Does he seem to be trolling, or did someone hacked into his account? ObiKKa (talk) 21:29, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ObiKKa The user has already been checkuser blocked by @Spicy. -- ferret (talk) 21:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. ObiKKa (talk) 01:42, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I made some minor edits to the "Story" section and you undid them stating this reason: "Some of these changes are slight improvements, but a lot of them are wrong." Can you elaborate on what was wrong with my edits?

Thanks for your time. Atlas 184 (talk) 22:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Atlas 184 Some of the issues: a key figure in the plot, we don't really make statements like this. You added numerous double spaces after sentences which we also don't do, and moved punctuation and quotation marks in a way we don't do per our Manual of Style. Did you edit with some sort of grammar tool? They often get things wrong and aren't compatible with Wikipedia often. Grammarly in particular is bad. -- ferret (talk) 22:48, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I typed it in Word (I like to save the docs) then copied and pasted, which might explain the double spaces? Because I didn't purposely double-space it, so that's odd. I'll have to check my settings on Word. I moved the punctuation and quotation marks because that is how I was taught, but if that's the rule for Wikipedia, then that's understandable. "Some of the issues: a key figure in the plot, we don't really make statements like this." Is that stated anywhere in the rules regarding how we should make certain statements? That way I can avoid that in the future. Thanks for the input. Atlas 184 (talk) 22:55, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Atlas 184: Generally you should say "key figure in the plot" only if reliable secondary sources also say so. In this case, it's a plot summary, where stuff like "key figure" is not just redundant (they're prominently mentioned, after all) but also a form of "emphatic language" which is usually discouraged per our Manual of Style (read this). You'll get the hang of this the more you edit and the more you read high-quality articles.
