If I left a post on your talk page...
Please answer there. I'll see it, no worries.
A new Ted Wilkes, this time from India, seems to have appeared on the scene
Hi Gwen, it seems that a new vandal removes content primarily from Elvis-related articles and the Nick Adams page. See .You may have a look at their contributions. Onefortyone (talk) 23:25, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi 141, there do seem to be some worrisome edits, given the removal of sourced content (however "gossipy") where there may be no consensus to do so. So far as I know, the consensus for allowing many of those sources and the way they're echoed in the articles' texts has stood for many years. There also may be some sockpuppetry afoot. I think it's ok you've been putting the content back. Hopefully, if this carries on, other editors will soon chime in.
- Please keep in mind, you shouldn't call those edits vandalism, which is defined on this website as a straightforward bash at hurting the enyclopedia. The editor(s) doing this may think they're being helpful (wp:good faith). Either way, they've likely been hoping nobody would care and their edits would stick. However, removing sourced content without consensus can be mistaken, may become disruptive and as you know, an editor can be warned and blocked for disruption.
- Thanks for letting me know about this and giving the diffs. If it keeps up, please let me know here if you want, I'll have another look and maybe leave some kindly-worded warnings, which would be the first step in dealing with disruption. Moreover, any sockpuppetry may get more blatant and can be dealt with as you know. You might want to think about asking them to bring their edits to the talk pages, but that's up to you.
