The user user:CurryTime7-24 keeps removing all my contributions and first I tried not to take it personally but now I'm feeling hounded. I added contributions to some articles, added the sources and he removed all of my edits simply because he didn't like the sourced link. He suggested IMSLP, which doesn't even have information about the text I added. Now it's a back and forth of him removing my entire contributions, regardless of what's inside. Right now he's removing the one I had added after you told me to review it, which I did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho_(1960_film)
He's moved onto every other revision I made and it's turning into an editing war. Please advise.

I don't, they're the only publisher releasing those works, that's why information about those pieces is so scarce.

The website does not appear to be the official publisher for any of these scores. For sure they are not the official publishers for the Herrmann and Shostakovich works that John40322 added the link to. The company that they cite to also appears to be brand new. I haven't looked through all of its catalog, but a lot of its scores do not appear to even be available for sale until next year. None of these works are obscure. So it's odd that this editor chooses to cite a very obscure music publisher.
Some of this user's edits are also perhaps unintentionally misleading. This edit at Tahiti Trot suggested that the site they linked to was the first to publish the original score and parts. This would be incorrect, as previously existing sources in the article already confirm. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241227161100","author":"CurryTime7-24","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-CurryTime7-24-20241227161100-John40332-20241227153500","replies":["c-John40332-20241227161700-CurryTime7-24-20241227161100"]}}-->
The "obscure" publisher has been in business for over a decade and is a respectable publisher
I don't know why you specifically have to be convinced of it in order for edits to stick, but I'm done even trying, just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's fake or dubious, it's people like you that make editing on Wikipedia so unpleasant.

The user:CurryTime7-24 continues harassing me and WP:HOUNDING, if I edit 4 articles he goes right there to undo what I edit, regardless of the content, you just have to see his history where he goes around reverting whatever I touch. Now he is trying to report me as a bot, when I'm clearly not one. At this point I'd like to know if there's a way to stop him from interacting with my edits, or some temporary block on him? He's making editing on Wikipedia very unfriendly and acts like he owns it WP:OWN. I cited proper sources in my edits, I don't know why he's been targeting me but it's exhausting.

Hi Diannaa, I am asking for your opinion on this subject because you were an admin that dealt with the SPI case against Backendgaming. Since the last recorded incidents from 2018, I noticed there were further potential sockpuppet accounts made since then, including the following:
All of which display a notable overlap in edit style and choice of topic with Backendgaming. Although some have not been used recently, and the others have been recently blocked for personal attacks against other editors, my question is whether you think it is worth doing a checkuser on these accounts as sockpuppets of Backendgaming? If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as Backendgaming remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. 37.0.81.237 (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241229103200","author":"37.0.81.237","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-37.0.81.237-20241229103200-Backendgaming_sockpuppets","replies":["c-Diannaa-20241229115200-37.0.81.237-20241229103200"]}}-->

Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at Shin Godzilla (character) from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at Tiamat (Godzilla) declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at Kong (Monsterverse) additionally, and I just reverted a removal at User:GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion.

Vincent Poor as a source but i was striked as advertisement ban the second time i tried to publish the article i got permanently ban.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the importance of maintaining Wikipedia’s standards for neutrality, reliable sourcing, and avoiding promotional behavior. I would like to clarify that the addition I made is not promotional but instead contributes meaningfully to the topic by referencing a novel concept published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal indexed by Web of Science.
The cited source represents a reliable academic reference that aligns with Wikipedia’s guidelines on verifiability and reliability. It introduces a unique perspective that enhances the quality of the entry by broadening the scholarly debate. Furthermore, I believe that the inclusion of diverse academic views is critical to upholding Wikipedia's mission of being a balanced and comprehensive repository of knowledge.
If there are counterarguments or alternative perspectives, I welcome those contributions as they can further enrich the entry. However, outright removal of the information without considering its academic merit may inadvertently reflect bias and go against the principles of scholarly debate and Wikipedia’s collaborative ethos.
To address potential concerns, I propose the following:
The source and its relevance to the entry can be discussed on the article's talk page to ensure transparency and community review.
If additional verification is required, I am open to providing further supporting evidence for the validity of the reference.
I look forward to collaborating to ensure the entry remains accurate, balanced, and reflective of ongoing academic discourse.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.
Updates for editors
On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the inproject: keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, English Wikivoyage, French Wikipedia, Hungarian Wikipedia, Nepali Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia) [1]
One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Tigre (w:tig:) [2]
View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed. [3]
Updates for technical contributors
Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.
Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its sub field, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. [4]
Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output.
