Check the history: this is an anniversary. This person is a longterm vandal, a complete a-hole, who inserts this kind of material in a variety of articles on living and dead people, from a variety of IPs in Louisville. (Here is the one who vandalized Hoover before.) Please keep an eye out; when there's one, there's more. What you saw them to, that's what they do--rapid revert, of that kind (and size) of content. Reverting them only adds to the mess in the article history--just report them right away. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:55, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: Thanks, I did report immediately (after the first revert, because they were continuing the action of the previously blocked IP). Are you suggesting we just leave them be after reporting? General Ization ^Talk 02:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, more or less. Look at the history, and look at a year ago--it's just more disruptive, it's exactly what they want. You reverted sixteen times, and that's sixteen chuckles for them. I know it's hard to resist rollback. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consider a one-month block of Special:Contributions/74.143.0.0/16. If you display the contributions you'll notice a lot of individual IPs that are already blocked. Judging from WHOIS these IPs may belong to Panera Bread. So it may be that our vandal hangs out on coffee-shop WiFi. We do sometimes block public libraries.

Thanks, Ed. Pinging @Drmies to consider your suggestion. General Ization ^Talk 02:25, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks EdJohnston. I remember having blocked a bunch of libraries, and even communicating with a librarian a while back. I made it three months--though a year would have been fine also. Drmies (talk) 02:27, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So I can't reference a book defending the movie and a site trashing it with fallacy can? Great job, Wikipedia. You are reliable! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2800:810:53C:8593:7185:113B:2670:981E (talk) 19:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may not advertise a book on Wikipedia. If some other, independent source has reviewed the book, you may link to and/or quote the review. A Web site marketing the book is not an independent, reliable source. You're now on your final warning before being blocked. General Ization ^Talk 19:12, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't you letting millions of sites and books by also referencing them into the entries? I've learnt Screenrant existed thanks to an article there. I simply don't get the "promotion" article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2800:810:53C:8593:7185:113B:2670:981E (talk) 19:15, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then why is the tag for Ellie Goulding on Elle King’s page? Please remove it from the page if you clearly think Ellie’s page shouldn’t have it.

Not needed there either; removed. Did you genuinely think there was any chance of confusion between the two? Please don't base your edits on others' errors. General Ization ^Talk 03:29, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I believe you deleted an edit I made on the Kim Jong Un page because of an unreliable source. I have added the edit again with the New York Post voting the Korean Herald as a source. Kind regards! Ranieri001 (talk) 10:16, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello General Ization,

I unfortunately have had some stress with Wikipedia's editors and rules, etc, and I stopped from editing from Wikipedia. I'm leaving you this invitation because, from what I believe, we would make an interesting conversation in a private chat to ourselves. I know I made wrong things on Wikipedia such as leaving the article which criticizes the Wikipedia's rules and about common sense. You are a gentle person, and you were very nice when we talked about the Barra do Garças air disaster edits.

Would you be willing to talk to me privately in a chat for us both? It would be nice to me, as I am having difficult times. But, if you couldn't talk, it's OK. Regards! --Cientific124 (talk) 10:27, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
