Possible S-U sock?

It looks as though you have specialised in S-U matters, so can I mention that the editing pattern of User:Wenigers may be worth a closer look. Up to you to deal or not when you return - I'm not reporting it elsewhere as yet. HeartofaDog (talk) 01:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Obviously S-U. I have blocked him and will undo some of his worst edits, but I don't have the energy to delete everything (although WP:CSD#G5 applies). — Kusma talk 09:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Special:Contributions/114.181.15.87 is also Sheynhertz-Unbayg. Can you help and fix things? — Kusma talk 09:49, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
And Special:Contributions/121.117.214.184. I have too much IRL work to do to really work on this. — Kusma talk 09:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I'll tackle some of it, since it was me that dragged you into it.HeartofaDog (talk) 12:32, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Hello. There was a very important message for you at commons:User talk:Kusma --Ahava-tova (talk) 14:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

I see you banned 121.117.214.184 (talk · contribs) as a sockpuppet / block evader. It looks like the same user has re-registered as Richard Egger (talk · contribs) and is editing the exact same articles in the same way. Just thought you might like to know. --Biker Biker (talk) 15:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Those edits looked awfully suspicious to me as well. You've just blocked the latest IP, and I'm scrolling through their edits (labelled "revert vandalism") now; any assistance would be great. SMC (talk) 17:11, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Uh, nevermind. That was fast :P SMC (talk) 17:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppets

Hello, and thanks for your earlier help. I'm contacting you directly because you know the full story, but Sheynhertz-Unbayg/Richard Egger has continued edit warring on Meinl using the IP address User:220.220.195.157. Is there anything you can do about this? I also think as the editor has now gone beyonde 3rr - 5 reverts now- the page may need some temporary protection. Thanks for your help, Boleyn3 (talk) 17:39, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

The IP is already blocked. I'm currently busy reverting some other of Sheynhertz' edits on other IPs and other accounts, and will try to get a checkuser investigation started later. Please tell me again if he restarts using a different IP. Thank you, — Kusma talk 17:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

There are a couple more Sheynhertz socks that I blocked but haven't reverted yet: User:Lud.Tischler, User:Kaniczer, User:Shav'osi. If you have time to donate to a hopeless cause, please help :) — Kusma talk 18:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

How about User:Wuermler? Also, shd I be rv'ing all edits or can I leave the useful ones? HeartofaDog (talk) 23:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
I typically just revert everything, it is much faster than figuring out how much is useful. (The difference between a banned user and a non-banned user is that a banned user is not allowed to make good edits: neither banned nor non-banned user are allowed to make bad edits). As more than half of Sheynhertz' edits cause problems and the non-problematic ones are typically simple cut and pastes from the Jewish Encyclopedia, I don't think we're losing much. Plus we tell him that we don't want him here at all if he is editing the way he is. (At five edits per day, he would be tolerable, but not at 50). — Kusma talk 06:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit reverts. Why?

I see you are making a continuos revert of edits by various IP's that are likely a sockpuppet. Problem is I dont understand why you are revert good edits like etc. Can you explain the situation. Thanks, SunCreator (talk) 13:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

The user is banned, so I revert all his edits without checking them first. They may be good, but banned users aren't allowed to make any edits. From a practical point of view, there's no way that anybody can possibly review 100 edits per day, about half of which are bad, while many are questionable, and then fix them. Or at least not one person alone: some years ago, we had a coordinated project that checked and cleaned up all of the original user's (Sheynhertz-Unbayg) 20000 edits. See the project page at Wikipedia:SU. If you want some background material, the original ban discussion is here (with links to previous RfC) and some more links can be found on my user subpage User:Kusma/Sheynhertz.
The really sad thing about this story is that Sheynhertz works hard to get all his favorite onomastics, Jewish history and Eastern European geography articles into Wikipedia, and tries to organize and categorize them in some way that he finds useful. However, nobody has ever managed to talk to him and make sure he doesn't create at least as much work for other editors that clean up behind him (he calls this cleanup "vandalism" and never listens to me). Each of his edits isn't very bad and is quite manageable (and many of them are good or useful, especially some redirects), but the sheer amount of them is too much.
If you want to talk to him (it's hard on enwiki because he's account-hopping every time somebody posts on his talk page), you can try his page at commons: commons:User talk:Sheynhertz-Unbayg. If you manage to talk him into being reasonable, I'll be happy to unblock his account here. He won't even have to retract his death threats against me, I'd be satisfied if he simply agreed to just use one account, not edit too fast and to heed the advice of others. Good luck, — Kusma talk 14:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi. You may be able to help out w/the deletion discussion at this page. Many thanks.--68.173.96.196 (talk) 17:45, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Reverting valid edits

Hi, can I please ask why you seem to be indiscriminately reverting valid edits such as this and this? GiantSnowman 11:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

They were made by a banned user. I reverted most of the 3000+ edits linked in the Contributions pages of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sheynhertz-Unbayg/Archive; if some of those were good, I do not mind them being reinstated at all. Given the scope of the problem (see Wikipedia:SU for previous attempts to clean up some of the mess this user has created), I believe that blindly reverting and deleting his edits is more efficient than just letting him do what he likes. If you have any good ideas how to deal with this user, by any means tell me; I am pretty much at a loss. This is his most recent attempt to talk to me. — Kusma talk 12:05, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
I had no idea the user was banned, my apologies. I have reverted those two edits you made to articles that appear on my watchlist; if the other edits you reverted were also good, I am confident that they will be reinstated over time. Regards, GiantSnowman 12:21, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your understanding (and no need to apologize at all: anybody who reverts good edits should be questioned!) and happy editing, — Kusma talk 12:23, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children

Hi I tried to create a page yesterday, but then i saw you deleted it. Could you tell me the reason(I'm new to wiki... I have no idea what I have violated.. please tell me why so that I could modify it to a appriopate way...) Thanks.

Page I'm refering to: Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children

--Chspf (talk) 01:42, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

The page was written completely in first person, making it look like self-promotion. It would be better for someone else to write about your organization, see WP:COI. If you do write it again, be sure to use and cite reliable third-party sources. Happy editing, —Кузьма討論 07:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I was just wondering why the previous "kevin wang" article was deleted, and needed some assurance that I would be able to write the article without risk of it being deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by THe KevinWangExperiance (talk • contribs) 03:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

The full content of the old article is as follows: "Kevin Wang was the greatest man on Earth". I guess that doesn't help you much. —Кузьма討論 14:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Kusma! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 141 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  1. Matthias Platzeck - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 17:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear bot: The article does seem to contain only what can be found in reliable sources. I do not have any of the published biographical of the subject on hand, and would prefer not to add the sub-par references that anyone can find within 5 minutes of Googling to this article. Instead, I have added some links to the subject's official websites. I can't see much point in changing these links to inline references just for the sake of adding a fake "references" section. —Кузьма討論 13:41, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Sheynhertz-Unbayg back?

Hello Kusma,

I've noticed a troublesome anon who looks a lot like the banned Sheynhertz-Unbayg. IP address is 114.180.237.91. The edits are sometimes quite eccentric (e.g. insisting that Joseph Haydn was Hungarian), and they might be messing up the WP in areas I don't know about. Could you please take a look?

Thanks very much, Opus33 (talk) 16:38, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

A also have problems with this anonymous editor (see: Special:Contributions/114.180.237.91 & User talk:114.180.237.91), particularly with persistent edits and reverts of Georg Jarno, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Die Försterchristl. This log brought me onto this log which seems to indicate sock puppetry related to Sheynhertz-Unbayg. I would be grateful for an investigation and measures to stop that IP address. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 08:23, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
This indeed is Sheynhertz-Unbayg. I blocked the IP address for three months, but don't have the time and energy to go through all of his edits. There's probably more; if you find more sockpuppets, it might be useful to start another investigation at WP:SPI. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sheynhertz-Unbayg/Archive for the last round. User:Hersfold was the checkuser last time. If you find more problems, it might be faster to use WP:ANI or WP:LONG or some other place; I'm mostly inactive these days.
