Dear Sir, grateful if you stop amending the changes I made to Callum Stewart. I am his Dad and can confirm he was born in Warwick hospital and is, via both his parents, Scottish.

Many thanks. RoPop (talk) 15:36, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - as you have been repeatedly told, Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. The sources we have say he was born in Leamington and is English.

Furthermore, you should not edit articles about your son per WP:COI. GiantSnowman 19:05, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GiantSnowman,

With due respect you are wrong on a number of levels.

Firstly, I have been repeatedly told nothing.

Secondly, your source is the Leamington FC webpage which stated he was born in Leamington which suited their purpose and was close enough to the truth and a change post publishing to Warwick would have been unduly pedantic so it was left unchanged.

Thirdly, your sources Leamington FC or local Warwick / Leamington papers however do not say that he is English merely that he was born and brought up in Leamington. Everyone that knows Callum and everyone at Leamington FC and Coventry Sphinx FC will tell you that he is Scottish due to both his parents. He had a Scottish flag against his name on the Leamington FC webpage.

I don’t intend to continue to write to you and will leave it up to you to decide if you wish to knowingly continue to publish inaccurate information. RoPop (talk) 12:09, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You were told, at the talk pages of the IP accounts you were editing before.

Where is the reliable source' confirming your claims? For example, he is English here and here. GiantSnowman 18:32, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am David from India. I create pages for elected MLAs and for players selected for Indian National teams. In the process of creating BLPs, I came across this Red Link in the Indian Hockey men's team Page which is protected by admin controls after repeated errors in 2012. Requesting that the page for this BLP may be allowed, in good faith as he is now in the Indian team. thanks and regards! Davidindia (talk) 16:17, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Which link please? GiantSnowman 19:06, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you create a draft at WP:AFC and we can assess. GiantSnowman 15:42, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the same person. The present BLP I am planning to create, is an Indian player. The earlier BLP 'repeatedly created' appears to be of a politician. (I assumed). I usually create pages for any Indian debutant. I am an autopatrol editor with over 1000 BLP pages. In good faith I approached you since you appears to be the one who protected the page. thanks and best regards. Davidindia (talk) 17:15, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's not the same person, that is why I have not restored the article, and that is why I suggested you create a draft at AFC. GiantSnowman 17:17, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok sure. thanks for the suggestion. Davidindia (talk) 17:30, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I hope you don't mind the talk page request, I don't think this warrants an ANI post yet, and the admin I'd usually reach out to for cases like these is unavailable at the moment. I saw you commented on the AfD for USA Cup/Intercontinental Cup 1950, an article which @Jvore7 created. They had a very similar article speedy deleted, and then reverted two attempts to move the article back to draft space, which has inevitably led to the AfD in question. I and four others editors have commented on their talk page, and while they have edited on there (so they know it exists, and this is not a case of WP:THEYCANTHEARYOU), their replies don't really make much sense (perhaps a WP:CIR case as well). Since then they have added similar unsourced content to Beşiktaş J.K.. Would you consider imposing a partial block on article space so that they can discuss their edits without further disruption? If you want me to take this to ANI then let me know and I will do instead. Thanks FozzieHey (talk) 15:22, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any diffs of the disruptive edits? I can then properly review. GiantSnowman 15:44, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, should have linked those originally.

- So we have an initial edit to User:Jvore7/sandbox, which I believe eventually became USA Cup / Intercontinental Cup which was speedy deleted (although you'll obviously be able to confirm). This is similar to the article at AfD now.

- The first revert of the move to draftspace

- The second revert of the move to draftspace

- The revision history at User talk:Jvore7 shows the attempts to communicate, they subsequently did make two edits to their talk page, but neither of them really make much sense.

- They then made this unsourced edit to Beşiktaş J.K..

Again, if I thought all of these were intentionally bad edits, I would have gone straight to ANI, but I believe this is more a WP:CIR case so I felt trying to get them to discuss their edits via a partial block was the better approach. FozzieHey (talk) 16:02, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A few more, making unsourced edits to List of Beşiktaş J.K. honors. This edit seems like a copy and paste from another wiki (without any translation)? Linking to their article on seemingly unrelated pages. I'm sure they could improve their edits with some discussion, but not being able to effectively communicate on talk pages is a big barrier to that, and recreating articles / reverting draftifications doesn't help either. FozzieHey (talk) 16:28, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted the copyvio, and warned them about unsourced content. Please let me know if it continues. GiantSnowman 16:36, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look, I will do. I do find cases like this to be the trickiest at dealing with, as it is obviously not vandalism, but still causes disruption. FozzieHey (talk) 16:40, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
