Yeah it's definitely Kav Kav. --Swift502 (talk) 13:56, 25 November 2021 (UTC) my guy you just got caught slipping ggwp kavkav No, you are both wrong can you threaten me with legal action please i want to feel included I am not who you think I am, I am an impartial editor "how do you do fellow editors" - https://prnt.sc/20whff1 https://media.giphy.com/media/l0IyajjbNiRvCr7RC/giphy.gif well "the model" ran the company into the ground which is much for relevant info Your account is created right after Ryan got IP banned. Your name refers to a company Ryan is closely associated with. The sole purpose of your account was to add flattering information on the Ryan Kavanaugh page. The chance that you're not Ryan Kavanaugh or one of his minions is as slim as the chance of Ryan winning the lawsuit. --Swift502 (talk) 14:12, 25 November 2021 (UTC) I wont keep replying I really am not him I am merely adding in factual information which is allowed if wikipedia does not accept those that is perfectly fine. I like rich Brian, Joji etc hence name. I am not adding flattering information everything I am adding is from source. Well, you are being officially investigated. We're not the ones you need to persuade. --Swift502 (talk) 14:22, 25 November 2021 (UTC) That is absolutely fine, im more than happy for check users etc to investigate my account. so why are you submitting requests to change his page back to the way it was last month before wiki mods changed it to a more npov? the edit you requested has the exact same wording as it had before They are a balanced view I am not removing anything I am adding articles relative to his career. the wording is from an article well "the model" ran the company into the ground which is much more relevant info thats is fine pet, I am merely adding my sources which I am allowed to put forward https://prnt.sc/20wn29c — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.189.157 (talk) 14:51, 25 November 2021 (UTC) You dont need to screenshot I am aware also why did you remove the first notice i put on your account last night then left it up the second time?

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/RK777713, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.  Throast (talk | contribs) 04:51, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

A concern about your username

Hi, 88rising88. I've closed the aforementioned SPI without action. However, I did notice that your username is very similar to the name of a company, 88rising. This is prohibited by our policy WP:CORPNAME. Could you please do one of the following?

• Abandon this account and create a new account, linking the two accounts together in some manner (like with a note on the new account's userpage, "I used to edit as 88rising88")
• or read the instructions at Wikipedia:Changing username and then use Special:GlobalRenameRequest.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and happy editing. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 18:48, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

No problem at all, thank you for your assistance I will change the username 88rising88 (talk) 18:53, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Throast. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ryan Kavanaugh, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Throast (talk | contribs) 17:16, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

What in the article is copyrighted ? the article is from an approved source on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

Garen67541 (talk) 22:48, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

You copy-pasted text from the source wholesale. Please read the links Throast gave. Copyright violations are copyright violations, regardless of how reliable the source is. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 21:23, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Apologies I had no intention to use copyrighted material, would the below be deemed acceptable

During his career as a producer Ryan has produced, distributed, structured financing for over 200 films, that have generated more than $17 billion in worldwide box office revenue and earning 60 Oscar nominations, he is currently the 25th highest grossing film producer of all time.

References

Best to take it to the article talk. I figure you're trying to evade discussion there because you probably feel like all of your proposals are going to be shot down anyway, but content disputes like these are best discussed at the respective articles. If you want Tamzin's personal opinion, you can tag her there. Throast (talk | contribs) 21:50, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Not at all you started this conversation on my talk page to which I was I was asking an opinion if it is ok, but will move over to the article talk.

Garen67541 (talk) 21:59, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Garen67541, I came to give you a friendly warning about close paraphrasing, and have now read the above conversation about copy vio. I urge you take some extra care when writing new content and to read or re-read WP:COPYVIO. Thanks, Firefangledfeathers 22:48, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

apologies I was not aware of that rule, I will re look at the content and thanks you for reaching out :)

Garen67541 (talk) 22:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

How could you not be aware of this rule at this point? You've just admitted that you didn't care to read any of the links provided to you in your first warning. Please take Wikipedia policy seriously. You've been involved long enough now to know the basics. Throast (talk | contribs) 22:54, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

There no need to be so aggressive I wasn't aware of this policy, I was made aware of copyright earlier please - I didn't admit I hadn't read any of the link provided - I may have missed something perhaps but im learning as I go and would appreciate a change in your tone.

Garen67541 (talk) 23:11, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

I am not being aggressive and I am not going to "change my tone". I am frustrated at the fact that, while I'm taking time out of my day to try to help you by leaving elaborate warning messages on your talk page, you just seem to disregard it and continue to violate the exact same policy. That's all. Throast (talk | contribs) 23:18, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Please avoid personal attacks

Your recent comments on Ryan Kavanaugh's talk page constitute a personal attack against myself and another editor. Please review Wikipedia's policy that prohibits attacking contributors. If you see content on Wikipedia that violates guidelines or policies, you should address that content, not contributors. Not only is attacking editors against policy, it's completely unhelpful. If you want to see an improvement, evidence is essential (usually diffs or links). Popoki35 (talk) 11:12, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert: biographies of living persons

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
