Page protection

Hello,@PhilKnight: hope you are well, I was meaning to ask you is there a possibility to permanently protect the Battle of Bar page, the page has been vandalised from what I believe from one or few persons who are are constantly changing their ip addresses but the geolocation are always similar or the same [[1]], [[2]] or even this one [[3]] or the accounts like this [[4]], I dont know it seems a bit too much at this point and this is only a small example. Thank you. Theonewithreason (talk) 15:37, 11 May 2025 (UTC

Hi Theonewithreason, sorry admins only protect pages if there is a lot of recent activity. In this case, there doesn't seem to be much recent activity. PhilKnight (talk) 15:48, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks anyway.Theonewithreason (talk) 15:49, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lindsey Stirling

Hi Phil - isn't Lindsey Stirling and her drummer reliable sources on their history? 67.14.224.162 (talk) 03:44, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't remember why I left that message on your user talk page. PhilKnight (talk) 14:07, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to restrict their TPA. They are still refactoring signatures. Nahida 🌷 14:14, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They've been globally locked. PhilKnight (talk) 14:26, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User Ysuman

Any idea how one can get through to people like Ysuman? Is it my imagination or are there a disproportionate fraction of African Americans who make such problematic edits? Should Ysuman only be temporarily blocked to see if they will add citations afterwards? Thanks for your hard work! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 19:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adakiko, I would advise against making racial based competence remarks on this website. I think they should be blocked indefinitely, and unblocked if they commit to sourcing their edits. PhilKnight (talk) 19:27, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IP revision summary delete

I have accidentally made mistake by editing directly via my ip. Can you delete my last two ip edit and edit summary. Parker (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't what your IP address is. Can you email me the IP address? PhilKnight (talk) 14:48, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1D1F:53E8 is the last ip digits that I have edited . I don't have any public email. Parker (talk) 15:18, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but that doesn't help. PhilKnight (talk) 15:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking about the ip i'm currently logged in with my account. Parker (talk) 15:57, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't use CheckUser in these circumstances, so that doesn't help. PhilKnight (talk) 16:01, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fake vandal

The technique here is to send a throwaway vandal sock to cover up the IPs content blanking.98.46.119.163 (talk) 04:09, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

another sockpuppet

as i was scrolling through the Dave McCormick edit history, I started clicking on random profiles, including Dafendlynotnoob. It shows that he has abused multiple accounts and i feel like the Resident of Brooklyn, a editor on the howard lutnick article, is one. Feel free to reply to this or on my talk page!

Joshua Broome

Hello User:PhilKnight. I submitted the WP:SPI for the probable-COI sock editing Joshua Broome. I noticed you reverted their edits on that page, but I wanted to make you aware in case you weren't that, because another editor made a slight change during the sock's editing, only about half of the sock's edits were reverted by your action. I won't be reverting them myself due to recently having made three reverts on that article. If it was your intention to only revert the ones you did, I apologise for assuming it was an oversight. Thank you. —tony^{st (talk)} 02:07, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 02:19, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Joe-job or sock?

Hi Phil, could you check whether Bbb23 is a fraud is a sock of Crickster8 (master Andrew5) or a joe-job? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:39, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bbb23, they are a Confirmed sock. PhilKnight (talk) 15:45, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and thanks for taking care of the CU request at the SPI.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:54, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page Deletion

Hi @PhilKnight, I am new to wikipedia, I am affiliated with a carpet cleaning company in Littleon Colorado wanted to publish their company on the site, but it was deleted, can you help me or share some pointers to properly publish wiki for a carpet cleaning company? Thanks Sunnyccmm (talk) 17:41, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL - it appears the subject lacks sufficient sources for an article. Sorry. PhilKnight (talk) 17:44, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, I have provided an article from TDB Was that not accepted for third party source? Sunnyccmm (talk) 17:50, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You need multiple sources, and that was only a press release, so it doesn't count. PhilKnight (talk) 17:55, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Thanks for the clarification @PhilKnight Sunnyccmm (talk) 17:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't globally lock users. You need a steward. Try https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global#Requests_for_global_(un)lock_and_(un)hiding PhilKnight (talk) 23:35, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. I thought you could because I saw that you blocked this account and it was also globally blocked, but I didn't see that the latter was done by a different user. Sorry! Feel free to delete or archive this section. — Chrisahn (talk) 00:39, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

StayCalmOnTress

Hi Phil, thanks for checking the most recent filing. Is it even worth requesting CU on this sock farm? I debated requesting it. S0091 (talk) 16:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi S0091, I think it's worthwhile. PhilKnight (talk) 16:15, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. I try not to request CU if I don't think it is necessary but it's hard to tell sometimes. S0091 (talk) 16:17, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

Hello Phil, I would like to apologize for my disruptive editing for my disruptive editing of Wikipedia articles. I admit my mistake and promise to try to avoid doing such in the future. p.s. I wrote this because I couldn't really find a way to email you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2400:ADC1:187:1A00:F42F:2C09:1A6A:5613 (talk) 15:08, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please review request for Pending Changes Reviewer. There is a large backlog and many people including my alt account User:ExplorerofSpace have been waiting there for almost a week. Thanks for any help. ExplorerofUniverse (talk) 22:01, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did you forget?

The users: Grand Duke Gediminas and Theguymust be were blocked for being socks of Dafendlynotnoob, but were never tagged, so could you please tag them?

Thanks!

Jetwindy (talk) 00:33, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Duke Gediminas wasn't blocked by me, and I think you have misspelled Theguymust. PhilKnight (talk) 04:15, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
