I don't know how I feel about [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1148#IP%20from%20France]] (since they are still active). They removed a sourced edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moodu_Mullu&diff=1225571552&oldid=1225405419] here. The actor clearly appears in the film (at the 5:32 mark [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hqZwqVZnP4&t=331s]). But, that is not the point, they seem to go rage mode as seen at [[Sukumari filmography]] here [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A02:842A:1BF:1901:39E2:40F9:5F44:DA78] {{ping|Aadirulez8}} (they don't seem to care about non-Telugu content/promote non-Telugu actors as Telugu actors in the lead). I wish they had an account, undoing other people's edits in favor of their own, seems like that editor is establishing dominance. The worst part is half of their edits seem to put the right films albeit unsourced so they are both a boon and not at the same time.

This user was under the scrutiny of an [[:ja:Wikipedia:コメント依頼/Symphony_Regalia|RfC]] and an [[:ja:Wikipedia:投稿ブロック依頼/Symphony_Regaliaほか|edit block request]], both of which were ignored by said user, except for the socks. User was continuing their edits on the English pages during the duration of both incidences. This user engages in aggressive POV-pushing and does not engage in Talks nor do they present information when pressed, as noted [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1162#c-Hexenakte-20240719160200-Symphony Regalia (talk · contribs)|here]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=969557035 here] and [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1162#c-14.192.213.32-20240719090500-Symphony Regalia-20240718214200|here]].

Basically, I feel some edits are being undone (i.e. removing an actors film from their filmography), just because the IP removes it even though that actors appeared in the film, which can be annoying sometimes.

:This IP user is an involved editor spreading false allegations. A CheckUser [[:ja:Wikipedia:チェックユーザー依頼/Symphony_Regaliaほか|was performed]] and the sock puppet allegations were not substantiated.

:Yeah, clearly needs to be reported back. Let the IP be blocked by administrator. If a user wants to edit from the IP, they could create an account and do so. So, it will also be tracked efficiently. With IP been shared, there can multiple bad actors. [[User:Aadirulez8|Aadirulez8]] ([[User talk:Aadirulez8|talk]]) 19:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

:I was blocked based on a comment request where [[:ja:Wikipedia:投稿ブロック依頼/Symphony_Regaliaほか|only 3 people]] gave input, but I believe that to be for reasons of offending Japanese sensibilities. On Japanese Wikipedia I have had a target on my back for a while for attempting to bring the Nanking Massacre article in line with the English counterpart (on Japanese Wikipedia the [[Nanking Massacre]] is named "''The Nanking Incident''" and many of the genocide allegations are scrubbed from the article).

::I did here [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive361#IP%20now%20in%20Algeria]]. Their edits are clear because they are all edits to Telugu actors and all tagged as visual edits. [[User:DareshMohan|DareshMohan]] ([[User talk:DareshMohan|talk]]) 20:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

:You are insisting that [[Sevens Football]] should be a redirect to [[Sevens Football Association]] and not be its own article. Has this been discussed anywhere?

== Conundrum ==

~~Per this [https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2822075 edit] added by user:Prakashs27.~~

Hey Ed, hope you are doing well. I have a conundrum.

User:Prakashs27 has also been adding birth, death, battle dates, and coronation dates using questionable sources, when they actually use sources. They have also used [https://chanakyaforum.com/the-battles-of-tarain/ this source].

I have been unable to find this journal article:

They added a date for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Guadalete&diff=prev&oldid=1235415164 battle of Guadalete], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Guadalete#Date_and_place ignoring an entire paragraph] that discusses the possible dates of battle. AND, taking the date they decided upon(19 July 711), changed the date of death for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roderic&diff=prev&oldid=1235415214 Roderic], with no references.

*Jeannin, Jean-Paul. "Jean de Luxembourg, seigneur de Haubourdin, dit le Bâtard de Saint-Pol." Revue Historique, vol. 147, 1923, pp. 145-175.

I checked Jstor more ways than I care to relate and found nothing. [https://www.jstor.org/journal/revuhist Revue Historique link]

User:Prakashs27 has warnings on their talk page for their editing from 6 different editors. --[[User:Kansas Bear|Kansas Bear]] ([[User talk:Kansas Bear|talk]]) 02:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)▼

I have also been unable to find any mention of Jean, Lord of Haubourdin, Bastard of Luxembourg / Bastard of Saint-Pol, or Hennequin in this book:

Almost forgot! User:Prakashs27 also [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First_Battle_of_Tarain&diff=prev&oldid=1235383796 changed the date of the battle of Tarain] using Cynthia Talbot (2015). ''The Last Hindu Emperor: Prithviraj and the Indian Past, 1200–2000'', p. 47, except that Talbot makes no mention of any date for the battle. to which I removed the date and the misrepresentation of the Talbot source. In response user:Prakashs27 used Wikidata for a source(as mentioned above). --[[User:Kansas Bear|Kansas Bear]] ([[User talk:Kansas Bear|talk]]) 03:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

:Hello KB. We have an article at [[Jean de Luxembourg (1400-1466)]]. Why not explain on the article's talk page what you're looking for? I looked at Revue Historique, and their contents seem to be available through JSTOR, including 1923. Is your concern that there is no article in the Revue matching the reference? If Jean fought in the Hundred Years War there ought to be coverage. There is an actual historian named [[Reed Browning]] but I couldn't find a book by him about the Duke of Burgundy [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston#top|talk]]) 17:58, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

*"''Why not explain on the article's talk page what you're looking for?''"

:::The majority of editors don't check much less respond to queries on article talk pages.

*"''Is your concern that there is no article in the Revue matching the reference?''"

:::My concern is I can't find the article used as a reference in the Revue Historique journals. I was hoping that I had simply missed it. As for the book by Reed Browning, I was hoping I was missing something there as well. It would appear not. I will inquire with TorreyTree for further information.
