Hello, please can you give a sign that you've understood and will stop these disruptive edits. Have you been blocked and/or have an account here? Unless you engage I will assume this disruption will continue and you may be blocked. Widefox; talk 13:36, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

I've reported the IP to AIV, but they're more long-term disruption than vandalism.

Thanks for notifying us. The user seems to dislike whitespace, for some reason.... This IP has previously been blocked for disruptive editing, in March 2017 (see talk page before it was blanked), and the pattern and volume of edits, particularly the removal of whitespace, seems to indicate that this is the same user.

Yes, the whitespace edits and sorting are a signature of the disruption, but I didn't see any interaction with other editors so there's no indication they know the specifics of these different disruptive edits. A possible block evasion with a compulsive editor with whitespace, sorting and dabs, but it's a different edit pattern from the blocked Sweepy. Widefox; talk 15:52, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello? Repeating this edit [1], when we're trying to engage with you gives the impression you can ignore the dialog and push on. Just like the white space edits, this is marginal/better before per WP:NUMERAL. Also, you must provide edit summaries on all edits. Widefox; talk 22:38, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Widefox; talk 11:11, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistent disruptive editing while ignoring warnings and advice.

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

1) Look at the noteworthy/relevant improvements made by account 24.28.5.226 to the following articles (just to name a few of the hundreds of such changes):

a) BlöödHag (Delete all the changes made by account 24.28.5.226 to this article and see how shoddy the article becomes.) b) Linda Cristal c) Los Tigres del Norte d) Bajo sexto e) Alex Cora f) Jeff Luhnow g) The Rockford Files

"Dear account 24.28.5.226: Thank you for the above changes and all the time spent crafting all the perfectly worded sentences, removing all the juvenile grammar errors, amending all the sophomoric style issues, but we're suspending you because of white space. Sincerely, Wikipedia"

2) Look at the large number of articles edited by account 24.28.5.226 which are still marked as having the most current edit. There are too many to list here. If account 24.28.5.226 is truly an account that simply disrupts/vandalizes articles, why are so many articles still marked as current?

3) With regards to white space, editing often requires the removal and/or insertion of white space. All seasoned Wikipedia editors make such changes including users Widefox, Kbseah, etc. It is impossible NOT to do so. The above users seem to be defining the very removal of such white space as being "disruptive" and/or "vandalism". This is clearly an over-generalization of the editing process. Account 24.28.5.226's edits are being misrepresented by users Widefox, Kbseah, etc. User Widefox actually targeted edits made by account 24.28.5.226 having nothing to do with white space just to be spiteful (e.g. reversing corrections adding a single comma to correct a grammar error or removing an unnecessary period in a photo caption phrase not written as a complete sentence to correct a syntax issue).

4) Articles written by U.S. users tend to have Wikipedia titles without spaces (e.g. ==Range variants (rANS) and streaming== as seen during the editing process), while articles written by U.K. users tend to have Wikipedia titles with spaces (e.g. == Range variants (rANS) and streaming == as seen during the editing process). Some articles sloppily have both conventions such as the article, Earthquake light. Removing or adding white space to make a specific article consistent WITHIN ITSELF or consistent with a MAJORITY of most Wikipedia articles is NOT disruptive editing nor vandalism. The same can be said for white space preceding the * sign as seen during the editing process.

5) Disambiguation pages do not have a specific set-in-stone set of title categories which some users above seems to suggest. Sometimes, title categories are all alphabetized and sometimes they are not alphabetized. Changes made by account 24.28.5.226 to various disambiguation pages usually entailed correcting grammar errors, adding relevant categories, alphabetizing all categories, recategorizing various entries within more appropriate categories, etc. Such grammar/style changes made by account 24.28.5.226 to various disambiguation pages have been misrepresented.

6) Why is user Widefox targeting account 24.28.5.226 for making various white-space edits to articles when articles he has edited have the same EXACT white-space conventions? If account 24.28.5.226's preferred convention is EXACTLY the same for many articles edited by Widefox, why has Widefox not targeted those articles or corrected them? If having NO white space is wrong per Widefox, then why do many of his articles have NO white space within them?

7) User Widefox adulterated multiple articles by purposefully reversing grammar errors/syntax issues amended by account 24.28.5.226. These unfortunate reversions were unnecessary and a disruption of the Wikipedia environment.

8) Suspending an account for adding or removing white space only seen during the editing process is INANELY STUPID. The white space has no influence on what a general user reads but only what editors see. So why suspend an account amending such white space?!

9) A lesson in poor grammar: Disambiguation pages which have the phrase "may refer to:" are grammatically incorrect. The phrase "may refer to" needs to be changed to something similar to "may refer to the following:". It is also grammatically incorrect to follow a verb with a colon such as "some examples are:". This is elementary school grammar, yet one sees the above two grammar errors constantly in both disambiguation pages and regular articles.

10) Grammar, syntax, consistency, and style are important (just more important to some than others).

11) "White trash at Trump Tower..." Really?

12) And once again...
