Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing of Droop quota, instant-runoff voting, single transferable vote, counting single transferable votes, and electoral quota by a series of IPs. IPs do not belong to a single range that could be excluded by a range block, but all appear to be the same person. IP often introduces mistakes, typos, unsourced content, confusing or unclear wording that breaks up the flow of the text, and external links into the body of the article (prohibited by MOS). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a formal close on my part, but ... have you tried talking with them about this? I agree that, since at least some of the IPs resolve to the same area of Alberta, and the writing style seems the same, it's the same user on different IPs (probably the school connection and the home connection). On Talk:Droop quota they've opened up two sections that might be relevant and to which no one has responded (and on Counting single transferable votes I see no sign of disruption as the article hasn't been edited much in the last two months). Nothing you wrote, and nothing I saw, indicates that the user is editing in anything but good faith. Yes, cleaning up after them is a pain but ... when you don't let them know they're doing the right things the wrong way, don't expect them to stop doing it that way.

Tim Membrey

[edit]

Reason: Tim Membrey has been linked with a delisted free agency move to the Collingwood football club. However some not logged in users have fallen under the impression that he has officially been signed on with them and no longer plays for the Saints. If Collingwood do end up signing him the earliest he can do it is on November 1st 2024. Flipstatic Energy (talk) 09:51, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trina

[edit]

Reason: IPs are continuously changing the birthdate. I tried to remove the birth year so they would stop, but It was reverted and they still keep on doing it. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 12:27, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Reason: Intermittent vandalism and aggressive participation (e.g. repeated personal attacks) by an non-EC user, who has refused to stop after being politely told several times that they were violating the WP:ARBECR by involving themselves in Israeli-Palestinian conflict-associated editing.

Examples of the said user’s ECR violations: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII.

Also this by another non-EC user.

P.S. In the content of the article, “Israel” is mentioned 48 times, “Palestine” 6 times while “Gaza” 3 times. It has basically intertwined with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

To provide more context, within the past several days this user has made multiple attempts at trying to prevent other users from engaging with the page: 1, 2 , this just appears to be a latest attempt.
They were told by an admin, Those edits aren't vandalism; this is a routine content dispute over inclusion, where WP:ONUS applies, especially given that there are WP:BLP concerns. If anything, repeatedly re-adding contested material without consensus is the most problematic behavior here. Anyone reviewing this should also be aware of OP's recent history ... On consideration, I suggest that you find other, less controversial topocs to edit
They were also told, In looking at the article talkpage, there are numerous editors expressing concerns about content you are pushing to include. And you are repeatedly personalizing the dispute and casting plenty of aspersions of your own--to an unwise degree given your own recent block history (three in the past month), and made doubly so by your decision to call admin attention to this dispute. My best advice to you is to ... show more good faith at the talkpage, and make sure you understand WP:ONUS, WP:BLP, and WP:BLPCRIME; your hands are far from clean here
On the article's talk page they began spamming (1, 2, 3, 4) me with alerts regarding ECR, when no one else agrees with WP:ARBECR applying to the article, and were told (1, 2), You know they're already aware of ECR, they were aware before you started alerting them.They're allowed to edit this article, just not be involved in WP:PIA. Now stop harassing them by spamming alerts at them. You've been told before not to do this with other users ... I already pointed out that they are allowed to edit this page as antisemitism as a whole is unrelated to WP:PIA & just because some aspects under ECR are included in the article, does not mean the entire article is under ECR.     Now please, leave them alone, stop aggressively trying to kick them off the page, & focus on content Wikipedious1 (talk) 15:09, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I.) Isolated instances of reversing edits that apparently violated the WP:VANDAL and WP:ARBECR are not considered edit warring, when some of your last week’s mass deletions of well-sourced content comprised a few to no reasons, as pointed out by one of the admins who passed by (“Lol” is not a reason), not mentioning those entries were directly related to the A/I conflict in which you’re not supposed to have got involved.
II.) Last week, I made a significant compromise by removing the vast majority of the entries you didn’t want to be kept in the list to address your “concerns” so as to de-escalate any disputes.
II.) I have never ceased to follow the demands from you/other users concerning any other disputed content, despite my person disagreement – I removed those entries accordingly without much questioning when it’s supposed to take place prior to any mass deletion attempts.
III.) I have tried my best to be patient and keep every of my replies polite, civil and humble, none of which however seemed to have been reciprocated by good will from your side. You do not appear to have shown any signs of improving your manner in communicating with me.
IV.) It is not “spamming” when you appeared to have violated the rules of engagement repeatedly. They are reminders – gentle reminders. I advise you to follow the WP:AGF and avoid mischaracterising my actions as anything “malicious” when all I want is respect.
You were asked repeatedly, as per the WP:NPA and WP:HA, to stop referring me to as an “entity” (dehumanising code word) or persistently employing offensive language in replies to my polite and humble messages. You don’t appear to have apologised to me either.
Rather than listen, you appeared to have continued the suspected WP:NPA, WP:HA and WP:ARBECR violations. Reminders are given repeatedly as I don’t want to bring in the specialised admins every single time when they are already busy enough – I have exercise maximal restraint throughout the process. Steven1991 (talk) 15:36, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
V.) Your quoted user has NOT been involved in the editing of the said article at any time, not least the period 1 September~19 October 2024. The user is a disinterested party who made a highly subjective judgment based on very limited information and he has no administrative powers on the site.
