Dancing with the Stars

hello admin, I have Bgsu98 violating the site by changing the dance charts, I keep trying to fixed them but keeps reverting my edits, claims I'm violating the policy but I'm not, Bgsu98 been doing to other site, please stop Bgsu98 from ruining this site Vegawolfdog (talk) 21:42, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already being discussed on Bgsu98's talk page and their reverts are proper; as the tables are sortable in each season article, finding the high-low dances is easily done by any reader without a chart also pointing that out. Nate • (chatter) 23:58, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i respect that, I just wanted to make sure the page isn't ruined, and I'll play it safe for the upcoming season of dancing with the stars Vegawolfdog (talk) 00:27, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Van Cleef

I'm not sure how to report this, because the other editor changes IP addresses with every editing session, so leaving warnings has turned out to be a waste of time, but there is an ongoing (usually subtle) vandalism situation with the article Lee Van Cleef and related articles.

Most recently, the editor added an inaccurate award nomination to Lee Van Cleef with this edit, and then altered Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture, to support the lie, with this edit. Then, under a different IP address, altered 29th Golden Globe Awards in the same way, with this edit. And this editor has, under different IPs, done the same thing in the past (diff, diff, diff, diff). There are issues with this editor's other changes to Lee Van Cleef, as well.

I've been chasing this editor around futilely from IP to IP for several days, so I thought it was time to bring it here to find out how to proceed. Thanks! —ShelfSkewed Talk 13:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ShelfSkewed: Judging by Whois data, this is likely a customer of Irancell. If things got sufficiently bad, an admin could block the whole IP range, but obviously that's going to cause a huge number of collateral blocks; page protection is the other obvious possibility, but there are enough golden-globe-adjacent pages that it'd be a pain to get all of them. Probably the best move is to bring it up on ANI and let an admin make the call. Gaelan 💬✏️ 17:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion. If an admin doesn't respond here, I'll try ANI. —ShelfSkewed Talk 17:56, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reports can only be removed.

If the user is blocked, or the report is stale after 6–8 hours. 23.245.47.124 (talk) 18:22, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A user is clearly putting marketing material on wikipedia

sleepwell11 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) This user has obviously registered recently on wikipedia to put marketing buzzwords and positively talk of Derucci copany on the said wikipedia page. It's obvious it's not genuine since it doesn't even follow standard page layout. I've already reverted his changes but he seems to have done his wrongdoing again. This user should be banned or have the page locked at least.137.204.150.28 (talk) 09:18, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contributor is User:Sleepwell111. Article is De Rucci. Certainly looks promotional - I've reverted, but will leave the CoI issue to someone else. AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Admin deleting files without atleast attempting to contact the editor.

Pleae look into EugeneZelenko he keeps deleting peoples work. I have permission to use that photograph "Stuart Land". In conversation i have it in words from the artist himself. He actually gave it to me to use. If proof is needed I can give that anytime. I still have the conversation on record. Might help to ask him too but thats just too lazy, easier just to issue a copyright violation on a editor right.... MNeivandt (talk) 02:25, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
