Preventing vandalism

Hi Drmies,

A vandal from Russia ( User:V1adis1av ) deleted section "The physical essence of the Stoney length and the Planck length" from article Stoney units; I fixed it.

I want to ask what to do, because he does the same thing in Russian Wikipedia.

-- Aab64 (talk) 18:05, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

What you should probably do is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stoney_units&diff=prev&oldid=1289922355 look at this edit summary] and follow the link, or read the document that User:Jähmefyysikko helpfully linked on your talk page. Drmies (talk) 20:02, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Matthew Drummond

Hi Drmies. I've been tracking User:Matthew John Drummond for a little while. I have WP:CIR concerns about this user, who appear to be quite young and has struggled significantly to understand how Wikipedia works. They have been putting some serious WP:BLP violations into Draft:Matthew Drummond - that draft is another one that entirely unsuitable for Wikipedia, in my opinion, and potentially should be deleted under BLP. Opolito (talk) 18:02, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. Well, given the alleged age I don't think that's a valid reason for deletion--unfortunately, perhaps. Perhaps others disagree. But I share your CIR concerns and this morning I was thinking that indeed maybe we should put a stop to it. Drmies (talk) 21:14, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
{{U|Opolito}}, a number of their drafts were accepted. I'm looking at a few of them and I'm not impressed. Please look over some and tell me what you think. Drmies (talk) 21:17, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

::Thanks. I'm taking a look at some of the earlier created articles. The first one I looked at is Kitty Clive (TV play) which had a number of references which were either missing or about a different subject. Once I'd cleaned it up, the two remaining sources are extremely trivial mentions, indeed so trivial I can verify that they are even about the TV play itself. I've PRODed that article. It should never have been moved from Draft into mainspace in my opinion. I'll look at others. Opolito (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

::On the other hand The Ten Commandments (1971 TV series) is probably okay - I can find meaningful reviews of this series in British newspapers, so it does pass WP:GNG even if the article itself needs cleanup. Similarly Marie Stopes: Sexual Revolutionary does need work, but there is significant coverage of this one in the press, so it can meet WP:GNG. In both these cases Drummond has badly messed up the sourcing and a lot of what is written there is not encyclopedic. Despite these being notable enough to be covered by articles, they don't assuage my concerns about CIR. Opolito (talk) 22:09, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

:::From Matthew's editing patterns I can tell he's focused almost entirely on English actor Peter Sallis - nearly all his edits are about Sallis, and all his new articles are shows and films that feature him in some way. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this, as we all have our topics we focus on, he does seem to have gotten overboard on Sallis' article by adding a lot of shows and movies he was in by just citing a searches he's made on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sallis#cite_note-BFI-9 BFI website]. It seems to have bloated the page far beyond what's actually notable about his career into more of a detailed IMDb page, along with citing the same page in different references [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sallis#cite_ref-21 over] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sallis#cite_ref-51 over] again. Harryhenry1 (talk) 06:39, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

::They've just recreated a draft you rejected, Draft:Rocky Hollow, under a different name as Draft:Rocky Hollow (TV series). I'm not sure what all the rules are when it comes to the draft stage of articles, but this seems a little duplicitous to do. Harryhenry1 (talk) 06:34, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi there longtime fellow user, all well?

This is seriously getting out of hand, so i ask if you could please protect this page should you see fit. The reasonings now: i have browsed the internet extensively (both in English and in Portuguese, he's Qatari born in my country), found NOTHING regarding that supposed 100th cap (i supposed it would have been all over the place no?). The RSSSF source found in article (this one https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/qat-pedro-intl.html) seems to contain (i asked at WP:FOOTY, they told me this there) even CLUB friendlies!!

Here, some more Google search for you, in English (https://www.google.com/search?q=pedro+correia+100+caps+qatar&sca_esv=4991a7ad233a5427&rlz=1C1GCEU_pt-PTPT1160PT1160&sxsrf=AHTn8zoqlpPYgyHkYOTQHO4XHUZLjINv9g%3A1747258315866&ei=ywslaM7VNOGmkdUPsPyZiA0&ved=0ahUKEwiO5_259KONAxVhU6QEHTB-BtEQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=pedro+correia+100+caps+qatar&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiHHBlZHJvIGNvcnJlaWEgMTAwIGNhcHMgcWF0YXIyCBAhGKABGMMESKUZUPMEWNYXcAF4AZABAJgBqwGgAeUFqgEDMS41uAEDyAEA-AEBmAIHoAKuBsICChAAGLADGNYEGEfCAgQQIxgnwgIFEAAY7wXCAggQABiABBiiBJgDAIgGAZAGApIHAzIuNaAHkhOyBwMxLjW4B6MG&sclient=gws-wiz-serp) and in Portuguese (https://www.google.com/search?q=r%C3%B3-r%C3%B3+100+internacionaliza%C3%A7%C3%B5es+qatar&sca_esv=4991a7ad233a5427&rlz=1C1GCEU_pt-PTPT1160PT1160&sxsrf=AHTn8zoraOAuQtlNcVaeyQqt-JPtP_s_0w%3A1747258328458&ei=2AslaNndG4aIkdUP_PaF8AQ&ved=0ahUKEwjZqf6_9KONAxUGRKQEHXx7AU4Q4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=r%C3%B3-r%C3%B3+100+internacionaliza%C3%A7%C3%B5es+qatar&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiKHLDsy1yw7MgMTAwIGludGVybmFjaW9uYWxpemHDp8O1ZXMgcWF0YXIyChAhGKABGMMEGApIwEZQAFiDRnAAeACQAQGYAaABoAHHGKoBBDguMjC4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhagAu4TwgIFEAAY7wXCAggQABiABBiiBMICCBAhGKABGMMEmAMAkgcENC4xOKAHwGayBwQ0LjE4uAfuEw&sclient=gws-wiz-serp).

This has been going on since March 2024, and i am 100% sure it's the same person doing this (ALL the addresses are from Germany). In this case, for the sake of keeping their preferred version, they even reverted the correct update had i made of club appearances in the infobox (and now i made another one)!

Please tell me what you think, attentively RevampedEditor (talk) 21:39, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

This "just in": i wrote 99 caps in his box on 25 March (match against North Korea), per the NFT.com external link. I now see he appeared against Kyrgyzstan five days later, and said site now shows 100 int'l appearances; reinstated the "FIFA Men's Century Club" category the IP inserted/keeps inserting, as you see i'm trying to reach a compromise in the article, but i know the other party will have none of that!

Funny that the internet (continues to) mention(s) nothing about such a milestone, heck not even the Qatar Football Association utters a word on the matter (see https://www.qfa.qa/kyrgyzstan-stuns-qatar-in-world-cup-qualifier/)! --RevampedEditor (talk) 22:26, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

It may be until sometime Monday until I can work up a list of the POV issues with that article. Will that suffice? I don't want to just slap something together here. Rja13ww33 (talk) 00:19, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

I don't need a program, really--if you can list three items that are problematic, or explain in two sentences what in general the issue is, that should suffice. But you need to be clear to other editors too, because I couldn't follow what you were trying to say--I have no inside knowledge on this topic. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:04, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Understood. But I do want to be complete here. Just 3 items or two sentences I don't think will cut it. (But tell me if I am wrong.) Regards. Rja13ww33 (talk) 01:07, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
You don't have to lay out everything in an opening post. A summary of the important issues will do; the rest can come during discussion, because honestly, I can't see it. Is the POV on the side of the believers of the myth, or on the other side? The article seemed decent enough to me, except for the language--especially the part I cut. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:51, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

The Ink Spots Article is Inaccurate

Footnote 16 is inaccurate or incomplete. The term "Ink Spots" has been and remains a registered trademark since 1984. It initially was owned by the Hanover Group, Inc. because of its agreements with Jim Nabbie, who succeeded Bill Kenny as lead singer. Nabbie, was leading the group when the trademark application was filed. The name has remained registered since 1984, with the sworn application serving as uncontested evidence of ownership to date. Pursuant to the USPTO, the mark is INCONTESTABLE at this time.

Declaration of COI: I declare I have a Conflict of Interest. I have represented the Ink Spots above as counsel, and written songs and produced recordings with them. Kindly correct the article, or make it more complete ASAP. In the event this is a problem, kindly advise here. Thank you in advance.
It really doesn't matter. Your primary source cannot outweigh the secondary sources that are cited in the article. Also there's no need to speak so formally. Drmies (talk) 19:01, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Wikipedia does not mandate a casual tone. The Manual of Style encourages clear and accessible writing, but both formal and casual tones are acceptable. I would appreciate it if we kept this discussion professional. Thanks for your cooperation. And yes, if a primary source is surrounded by reliable secondary sources, it is important. Kindly review the rules.{{pb}}

Here's a secondary source. I will post more... then edit the article.Laurence Staig, "Obituary: Jim Nabbie," *The Independent*, September 16, 1992. Available at: [The Independent](https://www.the-independent.com/news/people/obituary-jim-nabbie-1551960.html). JammerPro (talk) 19:06, 17 May 2025 (UTC){{pb}}Please review in light of what was supplied here and on your site. Confidence in the Article is misplaced. It would be improvident to contend that a Registered U.S. Trademark is trumped by a newspaper article, or a case that did not involve Jim Nabbie, several years prior to the registration. Review defamation by omission. JammerPro (talk) 21:20, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

My talk page requires a casual tone, JammerPro. I'm going to blank that entire section below: you need to take your case to the talk page, and look at WP:PE, where you will see a link to a page on how to do edit requests, since you are an involved editor. Drmies (talk) 17:58, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

AdieuSloth

I was looking at a discussions where it seems as if User:AdieuSloth had been involved, and then I see they were blocked and you had an edit summary of "Sockpuppet child". I know what a sockpuppet is obviously, but what is a "sockpuppet child"? Iljhgtn (talk) 21:47, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

"Sock puppetry" is from the first block log entry; I added "child" after some dumb talk page post when I revoked TPA. Any LTA who refers to themselves in the first person is lacking in the growth department. Drmies (talk) 22:27, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Then there's not a real need to question it, right. Drmies (talk) 22:45, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
{{Tpw}} to be fair to Drmies, that is probably a heck of a lot more polite than some would use for an LTA that has been causing havoc and a lot of work over about a 6 month period. I've lost count of the amount of accounts the LTA has created (at least 12?). It might be impolite but it is warranted for that tosspot. Knitsey (talk) 22:42, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
