re Talk:Snowy (character)#Persistent vandalism

edit

Has there ever been an SPI on this? There is currently a three-month block on a recent IP, but the latest IP is a mobile so no point in reporting this one. Meters (talk) 22:37, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Asked for pending protection. More than 4 years of this stupidity... Meters (talk) 22:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hello Meters, I see what you mean. I haven't been online lately and hadn't noticed; I appreciate your diligence. No, there has never been a sock puppet investigation; it would be great to launch one if you feel it would help end this. The vandal's IP address changes but always geolocates to the vicinity of Milford, Connecticut. For example, 68.191.55.129 did this vandalism and also vandalized many other articles, was warned, acknowledged the warnings, but was never blocked. Let me know if anything else can be done. —Prhartcom 12:50, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I removed your comment. I already blocked that user for his incivility, so the matter has been addressed. Thank you, caknuck ° needs to be running more often 08:47, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Caknuck, thanks. I agree with your block reason for this person. People like that make one want to give up on this community. —Prhartcom 03:05, 27 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Caknuck, by the way, it wasn't necessary for you to remove my comment without my permission. Don't do that again. —Prhartcom 04:53, 27 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yes it was necessary, as you were warning a user a) for an offense for which they had already been blocked, and b) that had taken place over a week prior. I am actively monitoring and trying to mediate this user's behavior. Your warning did nothing to improve the situation. In general, if an admin is taking ownership of a dispute or conflict in which you are not actively involved, then you should not inject yourself into the conversation. Period. caknuck ° needs to be running more often 23:48, 27 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

GA reviews

edit

Thanks for all your comments at Chris Rock–Will Smith slapping incident. On the off chance you might review another article I'm familiar with, here's a quick list of articles I think I could get up to GA fairly quickly if I had your eyes to help me:

If any of them appeal to you, I'll nominate them for GA. They're not Tintin, but maybe they'll grab your interest. Feoffer (talk) 02:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Very tempting, Feoffer! Let me take a look at your articles; thanks for the offer. Before I even look at them though, it's good to know you have likely already checked them for the kinds of things we just took care of in this article. Cheers. Prhartcom (talk) 02:49, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the promotion of Smith-Rock! I hope I can someday get you to look at one or more of the above articles. Travis Walton incident in particular has the makings of a really riveting article, we basically understand what happened now and of course, it didn't involve an alien abduction. Roswell incident is also a very important article and there are many excellent editors working to improve it -- I'd love your feedback on the first three sections (up to 1994) but the rest of the article isn't ready yet for someone with your talents for a final polish. Meanwhile, Rhodes UFO photographs would, I think, be the easiest to push into GA, but not a very exciting one. Feoffer (talk) 09:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just a ping, Roswell incident is now up for GA, if you're interested. Feoffer (talk) 13:34, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
