Revert
Hello there, could you explain why you reverted my edits? Thanks! 90.209.163.218 (talk) 18:02, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Did so on your talk page. Favonian (talk) 18:03, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I saw your message. Thanks. I'm just trying to improve the page. But I understand your points. 90.209.163.218 (talk) 18:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Do you think I could add back my edit regarding the Mayoral Council for England? 90.209.163.218 (talk) 18:07, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the revert. Note that their first massive 100k edit was much the same as a May 2023 edit from LTA User:Lam312321321. Belbury (talk) 18:08, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Sure. My issue was with your very first (and large) edit. Favonian (talk) 18:10, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

- I'm not Lam312321321 though. I was told by someone on Reddit history subreddit to make that edit. 90.209.163.218 (talk) 18:11, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Well, that makes you, at the very least, a WP:MEATPUPPET, and blocked you are. Favonian (talk) 18:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

SPI ID question
Hey, I'm getting around to opening a SPI ticket for a particular LTA attested effusively at, inter alia,

Does this one have a case? You seem to be the most aware of their existence so far. They are incredibly prolific not to have one, it's bizarre. Remsense ‥ 论 20:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Remsense: There's no SPI case, as far as I know, and I've never caught them using a named account. I've been reverting their useless edits for the past four years or so. In the beginning, their IPs geo-located to Iran, but for the past 4 years, they've been editing from UAE. As you have observed, their MO is easily recognized, but also easily contained according to WP:RBI. Favonian (talk) 21:19, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Right—that was my MO before, but I've found caches that are months or years old of their uncorrected edits. After bringing them up while chatting with other editors, they recommended I consider filing at SPI about it, but obviously the risk and reward are both comparatively low since they don't use named accounts. Remsense ‥ 论 21:22, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Some editors who deal with incessant IP hopping LTAs create a subpage(s) (sort of like a personal WP:LTA page) that they link to when reverting the edits and/or requesting blocks at AIV. An epic example is User:EvergreenFir/socks.-- Ponyo 21:33, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
