:For the record, this relates to edits at number articles such as [[1]], with a correspondingly large discussion at [[WT:WikiProject Numbers#Help remove WP:CRUFT on number articles!]].

== Ludogorets page ==
Hey, per the instructions [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Increase&oldid=prev&diff=1238676587 here], I'm reaching out. As you can see in the Ludogorets page history [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PFC_Ludogorets_Razgrad&action=history here], there have been more instances of new profiles and IPs doing the same changes - warned a couple of times, referred to the talk page, they're still at it. At this point I'm just getting a bit tired of yelling at a wall and reverting things non-stop - they've even started deleting the default instructions not to edit the roster, possibly to make their changes logical? No clue. As a side question, in the talk page we had a Team Manager for that football club reach out about updating the logo - tried to give some info as did other users, but I'm not sure if we misled him about how to go about the whole thing, if you want to chime in on that too. --[[User:Yupyuphello|Yupyuphello]] ([[User talk:Yupyuphello|talk]]) 17:56, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Yupyuphello}} I semi-protected the article but some of the contributors will soon be able to edit it anyway. If problems continue, I'll try to have word with them. You will see that I have replied at article talk regarding the logo (and at the user's talk). [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq#top|talk]]) 02:29, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
::@[[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] Thank you, I will monitor, there were sadly some unfortunate edits yet again due to a bad result in a game last evening. Should I proactively list any issues/accounts in a reply here every once in a while, or would that be annoying/not the proper way to report anybody continuing to abuse the article? --[[User:Yupyuphello|Yupyuphello]] ([[User talk:Yupyuphello|talk]]) 04:52, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Yupyuphello}} Please explain any reverts that are needed on article talk. If repeating yourself, just link to an earlier explanation. You might give a diff of a problematic edit which I can see, but just one or two (it's best to focus on a single issue). You can ping me from there if needed. If I don't respond in 24 hours or so, remind me here because I might have missed a ping. It doesn't matter, but FYI, a ping on a user talk page is not needed and doesn't work. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq#top|talk]]) 05:13, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
:::I just saw your edit summary: "Reverting another set of malicious changes". Please don't say that sort of thing in an edit summary because it won't help anything and it will count against you if the matter is ever at an admin noticeboard (see [[WP:VAND]] which boils down to saying that ''poop'' is vandalism but just about anything else is a good-faith although possibly mistaken edit). We can't know if someone is malicious. Just say something like "reverting mistaken edits, see talk". [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq#top|talk]]) 05:18, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
::::Okay, will keep it in mind. And fair enough, will stop calling it malicious. Hopefully it will not be held against me, as the latest set of changes are literally people deleting players that performed badly in the last match and replacing the staff with a note in Bulgarian saying "RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN". Either way - thank you for the explanation and the assistance! --[[User:Yupyuphello|Yupyuphello]] ([[User talk:Yupyuphello|talk]]) 07:07, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
== Leonard Maltin protection ==
Hello. Thank you for applying the three day semi-protection to [[Leonard Maltin]]. However upon a little investigation, different IPs have been repeatedly trying to make essentially the same (unsourced, opinionated) edit to the introduction since December 2023, eight months ago ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leonard_Maltin&diff=prev&oldid=1188098567 diff] here). I'm not super familiar with the protection process but potentially some sort of longer-term semi-protection may be called for? Thanks again for your assistance. [[User:StewdioMACK|StewdioMACK]] ([[User talk:StewdioMACK|talk]]) 12:16, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
:It's just occurred to me that maybe I should have put this on the article's talk page and pinged you. If that would be the case, feel free to move this discussion there from your talk page. [[User:StewdioMACK|StewdioMACK]] ([[User talk:StewdioMACK|talk]]) 12:53, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
::{{ping|StewdioMACK}} My semi-protection of three days is the first time protection has been applied to this article. Standard procedure is that responses to problems have to escalate. Let me know if it happens again and I'll act then. It would be best to start a new section at article talk with a diff of a recent edit to the article (a diff which would have probably been reverted). Add an explanation of why it was unsatisfactory, possibly mentioning [[WP:RS]] and [[WP:DUE]] and [[WP:BLP]]. Include a ping to me. If I don't respond in a day or two, post here. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq#top|talk]]) 23:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

== Edit warring IP ==
Can anything be done to get this IP to go to the Talk page instead of Edit warring [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Morissette_(singer)&curid=39802265&action=history at this article]? I have asked them to do so and left edit summaries explaining, but.... Perhaps semiprotection? -- [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] ([[User talk:Ssilvers|talk]]) 22:10, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
:See my comment at [[User talk:190.167.27.164]]. Per [[WP:SHORTDESC]], the purpose of a short description is to disambiguate searches and adding "songwriter" to "singer" might not be needed. However, the IP should be at [[Talk:Morissette (singer)]] and I will watch for a while. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq#top|talk]]) 01:44, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
== ANI Notice ==

Thank you.<!--Template:Discussion notice--><!--Template:ANI-notice--> [[User:Kcmastrpc|Kcmastrpc]] ([[User talk:Kcmastrpc|talk]]) 14:10, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
:For posterity, this relates to [[Talk:JD Vance#Remove the nonsense about the couch]] and the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#JD Vance Couch Hoax Disruptive Behavior|ANI report]]. A couple of editors (not Kcmastrpc) are requiring evidence that it would be contentious to edit [[JD Vance]] to add mention of fucking a couch. I asked at [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Shitposts in biographies]] and another BLPN report is [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#JD Vance Couch Hoax reintroduced without consensus|here]].

== Talk:Yawn ==
Many thanks for your quick response on this. I forgot to also request hiding of these revisions: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AYawn&diff=1244651065&oldid=1244646855], an apparent good faith error on the part of another editor.

== Rapid-fire bogus tagbombing by user with less than 400 edits ==
This user [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Akaibu#] is adding rapid-fire (75+ per day) bogus tags (like the utterly spurious "underlinked") to articles, apparently via scripts he has added to his account. I warned him on his usertalk [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Akaibu&diff=prev&oldid=1245468021] (his last tagging before my warning was on [[Aelbert Cuyp]]). I've reverted about 40 of them over the past 40 minutes, but it's an exhausting ritual (maybe 1% to 5% of his tags are merited) and I'm tired of it. Not sure of the best course of action, but definitely needs eyes and a block if it continues. Plus need more of the tagging reverted/rolled back. Any help appreciated. [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 06:06, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

::Thanks. By the by, this rapid-fire 80-edits-per day MO is often standard behavior of someone trying to rapidly achieve EC status, so might take a look at his edits again once he hits 500. [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 08:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] I will note that this is not an attempt to pad for EC status(if you wish to believe me on that), in fact looking into what EC provides I don't see much reason to shoot for it, except ''maybe'' Content Translation, but I'm not currently comfortable adding major content to pages like that.

== Continuous removal of sourced content ==
Hi John, please take a look on [[Chittagonian language]]. A user keeps removing its content (even though those content has reliable sources) and keeps adding thier preferred version. The same user did same thing on bnwiki and we reverted their edits.
I reverted their edit twice here on enwiki & asked the user to stop but the user still doing it. I did not reverted their latest edit as I don't want to get involved in edit wars.
I think it would be better to restore the last good version until there is a consensus. Could you please help here? Thanks. [[User:আফতাবুজ্জামান|আফতাবুজ্জামান]] ([[User talk:আফতাবুজ্জামান|talk]]) 22:32, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Instead, comment in that section and quote a few words from the discussion that shows there is a consensus. Also, briefly outline what the consensus is. That is, what change, if any, is proposed? It should be on article talk so others can see it. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq#top|talk]]) 03:51, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
