User Broskalitre

[edit]

In doing NPP, I came across Russian Unmanned Systems Forces and Northeast Donetsk Oblast campaign, both of which were created by this now blocked user. When I see that an article is created by a blocked user, I always take a look at their talk page and see why they were blocked. Normally, it doesn't have anything to do with the article's they created, however sometimes it does. In this case, I'm thinking the block might apply to these articles. The first is almost completely the work of this editor, however, the second has seen some significant editing by several other editors. Anyway, as you were the blocking admin, I figured I'd let you know so that you could take any further action you deemed appropriate. And of course, thank you for the work you do on the project.

Deleted Russian Unmanned Systems Forces per WP:G5. Northeast Donetsk Oblast campaign can't be deleted per WP:G5 because there are "substantial edits by others". voorts (talk/contributions) 17:46, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Missclairedee (15:55, 6 June 2025)

[edit]

Hi! I've donated to wiki for years but have never posted or edited anything. I'm wanting to make an article for my father's band that was locally famous in the 1980's and even flew to Hollywood and was on Star Search. I'm using old newspapers as references but it keeps getting declined. I'm not sure what I need to do. --Missclairedee (talk) 15:55, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Missclairedee: your draft is being declined for a couple of reasons. First, each paragraph needs at least one citation that verifies the information in that paragraph. Second, for a Wikipedia article to be published, it must be about a subject that has received independent coverage in several sources. Currently, you've only cited one newspaper article and a brief obituary written by family members that only mentions the band in passing. If you can find additional newspaper articles from other publications, then you may be able to show that the band is notable enough to have its own article. If it isn't, I would encourage you to find somewhere else to publish about your father's band; perhaps a local Charlotte music blog would be interested. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 20:26, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I have found articles from LA as well. I will update my draft using the guidance you provided. Thanks again! Missclairedee (talk) 11:54, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I had seen you indef blocked this editor. I'm pretty certain this IP editor is them, they're editing many of the same pages Zander did. One of their remarks in the last ANI about them seemed to infer they intended to launch a new account. Rusted AutoParts 03:53, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent edit warring, breaking of 4rr rule

[edit]

Hello @Voorts hope you are well, this editor [[1]] has already been reported on WP:ANI, warned multiple times on their talk page not just by me but from several other editors (see their tp [[2]]) but they just keep with their WP:ICANTHEARYOU policy and edit warring, i.e. on this page [[3]] or on this one [[4]] and several others, not using talk page for their inclusions even though they were called to participate i.e. [[5]] or [[6]], usually not even using sources but their own personal opinions. Just now they are in another edit warring on this page with other editors [[7]], constantly including unsourced material. I think that this is now a bit too much. Can something be done ? Thank you. Theonewithreason (talk) 18:11, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And just now they broke 4 rr rule [[8]], [[9]], [[10]], [[11]]. Theonewithreason (talk) 19:26, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have time to review all of this. You can bring it to AN/I or AN3 if there's edit warring going on. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:34, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Nfurlotti (01:36, 16 June 2025)

[edit]

Hello, I suggested two edits on the page for Erich Neumann. One mentions that his book, The Roots of Jewish Conscious, has now been published in both Hebrew and German. This was not mentioned on the page. I gave the German name but cannot give the name in Hebrew because I don't have Hebrew on my computer. The name can be found anywhere Hebrew books are found. The second edit was to add as a reference the book, Eternal Echoes: Erich Neumann's Timeless Relevance to Consciousness, Creativity, and Evil, which I wrote. I have a company called Recollections, LLC that publishes first generation unpublished Jungian material. Neumann's Jacob and Esau and The Roots of Jewish Consciousness are part of that work. Thank you. --Nfurlotti (talk) 01:36, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
