Rollback

Hello. I've granted you rollback. Please become very familiar with both Wikipedia:Rollback and Template:Rollback granted. Note these two very important things: 1) only use rollback for vandalism - other 'problematic edits' probably don't fall into this definition - if in doubt use an informative edit summary, and 2) always check the page history to make sure you're reverting to the correct revision. Enjoy (but not too much!). -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 17:50, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Antisemite

Do you know they are literally referring to you as an antisemite on simple.wikipedia? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Antisemitism_on_Wikipedia#c-Polygnotus-20250705231700-Zero0000-20250705085300 Polygnotus (talk) 23:16, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Can't say I do. If I had to guess, Steven1991 holds a grudge against me for my role in getting them blocked from the project. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Insanityclown1 (talk) 23:50, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

@Insanityclown1 I am building up quite a dossier. Gimme a sec and I'll post more there. This is a very weird situation. Polygnotus (talk) 23:51, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. I'd help you if I could, but unfortunately this debacle has popped up right in the run up to the bar exam, and prep for that is taking up a frankly horrifying amount of my time. Insanityclown1 (talk) 23:53, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Well you might enjoy a quick read of Talk:Antisemitism_on_Wikipedia#WTF. Lawyers have to read quite a lot. Polygnotus (talk) 23:56, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

its definitely more entertaining than civil procedure ;). But yeah, what a piece of work. I went ahead and deleted the aspersion he made about me on simple. Insanityclown1 (talk) 23:58, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Good luck with the exams and all that. I'll try to find a commons admin and a simple admin. Polygnotus (talk) 23:59, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Best of luck. Insanityclown1 (talk) 00:03, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

No you. It ain't easy being a clown in this harsh world. Polygnotus (talk) 00:04, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Love seeing that he also took that to reddit. Insanityclown1 (talk) 00:16, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Where else do you go as a source of the ultimate objective truth. Polygnotus (talk) 00:40, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Fox News? Insanityclown1 (talk) 00:44, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Steven is also trying to get access to my account as well. Can't prove it but whenever arguments with him pop up, password reset requests also start coming in. Insanityclown1 (talk) 02:50, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Delightful. It is possible that checkusers can help with that, maybe. Make sure you have a long password and Bitwarden or another password manager (not Lastpass). Polygnotus (talk) 03:28, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Correction: I have been informed that Checkusers can definitely help with that. Polygnotus (talk) 07:55, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

I don't think they are the same person. For example. ProfGray mostly starts their editsummaries with a lowercase letter while Steven1991 consistently uses an uppercase letter. I did ask about a possible connection, but not because I think they are the same person. I do think ProfGray made a big error but Steven1991's behaviour was way worse.

Hello, Insanityclown1. Please check your email; you've got mail!

Your email

As I am sure that you know and as described on User talk:Steven1991, the block of this user on the English Wikipedia has been taken over by the Arbitration Committee, and off-Wikipedia conduct was a factor in their decision. So, I suggest that you email evidence of new misconduct to them. As far as your personal safety, you can contact the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust and Safety team with your concerns. I have experienced some severe off-Wikipedia harassment from three different criminals, and it is unpleasant to say the least. I wish you well. Cullen328 (talk) 05:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

@Cullen328 Thanks, I have informed Arbcom. Polygnotus (talk) 05:19, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Suggestion

This isn't a great idea, its clearly not going to lead to a productive conversation and is pointy in a way many editors will object to. I suggest self-reverting and keeping things to ANI. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 21:55, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

fair point. Insanityclown1 (talk) 21:56, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

It's not a good idea to go after an editor who is in trouble. You can come off looking like a bully. You can hold whatever opinions you like about them but it's not "open season" on editors because they are being considered for an indefinite block. I think their behavior has been terrible throughout all of these days of ANI discussion but don't poke the bear. You never know when you or I might be on the wrong side of a discussion at ANI. We've had outstanding editors slip up and get blocked over something stupid they did. Thank you for self-reverting. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:59, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
