Ponyo

Hello, I just thought I'd let you know that a sockpuppet has returned, and is editing articles in Quranism, Alexander Skarsgård and Cynthia Rothrock again. I'm informing you on your page, as you previously dealt with this individual, and I didn't want to engage in an edit war. The sockpuppet that was editing in the Cynthia Rothrock article was EnigmaticStale, who was blocked. This new sockpuppet account is MonkeyKing73619 and the IP address 148.252.144.218, which was partially blocked before. Dsaun100 (talk) 12:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

There were a bunch of socks and sleepers, all blocked now: RepoMan73619, TheRunningMan8261, MightyWaysss, MusicalGeniuses, MonkeyKing73619, Phantomia837 and ShaolinMasta.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nothing like someone obviously in the wrong calling the other guy a dumbass. Looks like they talked themselves into an indef care of The Professor.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:47, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well I don't think people should talk like that, yes. Professor--well, seven more years, Ponyo, unless I win the lottery first. Drmies (talk) 20:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ponyo, I want Knitsey to be an admin, but I'm going to pronounce the "k" every time I see her name. Drmies (talk) 21:04, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well that's one way to get me off someone's talk page. Knitsey (talk) 21:07, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Kuck off. Am I blocked now? Knitsey (talk) 21:18, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well, that escalated quickly. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 22:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Now I'm worried that Drmies is sat in a corner crying. I went too far didn't I. Knitsey (talk) 22:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Don't worry, it's pretty much the same reply I give whenever anyone suggests I throw my hat in the ring for Arbcom.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I always get terrified if I ever were to drop the F-bomb on Wikipedia. I keep thinking that the site is elementary school and the administrators are teachers, because back in my day, if you were to say the F-bomb, you would be considered a legend (but at the same time you might get sent to the principal's office).NoobThreePointOh (talk) 22:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I swore at my dog last week.

Then spent an hour telling her I was sorry and that she was a good girl, a very good girl. Knitsey (talk) 22:56, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ouch. Hope you reconciled with her. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 23:01, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

She has been giving me the side-eye since then. Knitsey (talk) 23:07, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ponyo, can you do me a favour, please? When I put correctly in The Smurfs Movie, the genre and the release date but someone put unsourced cite, and it's vandalism, can you correctly please? 173.177.20.244 (talk) 02:19, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for figuring out Ditestic. In the blocklog, you mentioned "User: User:TotalTruthTeller24"; is it actually "User:TotalTruthTeller24"? DMacks (talk) 17:40, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, the double user was just a typo.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

We're having trouble with our dryer this morning; is this where we come to get it fixed? Maybe we shouldn't be drying socks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:09, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please do throw the socks in the laundry. You know fewer will come out than what you put in!-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:30, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

But they're throwaway socks. BTW, the problem we're having is the vent is, um, blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:35, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I actually don't know if clothes shrink in the dryer or washer. On one hand, I assume it's the washer because everybody says it, but on the other, I think they shrink in the dryer because the lint usually gets caught in the lint trap. To this day, it's still a mystery in my mind. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:33, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Are you serious? The dryer at my house doesn't even dry my clothes properly, even after putting it for a 70-minute timed dry, which means I have to do another cycle. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:23, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Even if it doesn't dry at all, your dryer could have other uses, such as music[10]. DMacks (talk) 18:49, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I mean, I would love to have a laundry machine that could play lots of tunes. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:55, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

Please stop removing relevant information on the Sports section of Fayetteville, Arkansas' page. If you continue doing so, further action will be taken. Afcnwa (talk) 19:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

You continue to edit war to restore unsourced content that has no demonstrated relevance to the article. You are the one running afoul of our policies and guidelines, so if any further action is taken I have no concerns that it will be against me.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Coincidentally I've been puttering around random pages in Category:All articles with unsourced statements lately. What a breath of fresh air to actually dig in and do some article improvement as opposed to sorting socks. Brings back a little bit of the shine that drew me here in the first place. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:22, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Signed up to help out, but I won't be tagging my sourcing for points. Not really my thing.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just curious, why are we adding tags to Andrew5 socks when the SPI page says “a clerk or checkuser recommends that new socks in this case don’t receive tags per WP:DENY”? Because I’ve blanked out at least one such user page for that reason; and pinged the checkuser who tagged him to the talk page. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 19:03, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm aware, and had already blocked the account when I posted. I was only noting for future reference.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:22, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

You're right. The Javed Akhtar part was from YouTube, an unreliable source.

But you also reverted these things which are credible, and not supposed to be reverted:

1. His Alma Mater, and Education: he has actually done M.A. from Mithibai.
2. Mohamad Rafi is a Legendary singer, you may find it as an Exaggeration, and not neutral, but the Whole Film Industry of India would Agree to it.
3. His relatives were added by me, namely His maternal uncle Hasrat Jaipuri, and his brother's Son Arman Malik. That also was reverted by you.

So kindly make revisions regarding these topics.

Thanks. જય જલારામ (talk) 07:34, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@જય જલારામ: Credible is not the bar for inclusion of content in a biography articles. The information must be relevant, supported by reliable sources and be worded neutrally.

I, too, remove mass-sent messages from my talk page. In all honestly, I'm curious to know if that invitation to "a research" ticked anyone off. I know it caused a lot of watchlist noise. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 01:23, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

It was actually a pretty in depth survey on adminship across wikis. The results should be interesting.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:34, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Could this deletion be reverted, as it gives people crucial information about Vantg Media for research projects and YouTube content, please? ItsElectricz (talk) 22:50, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

The place to add crucial info about your business is your company website and social media platforms, not Wikipedia. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:51, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

As seen on my friend's company Wikipedia, he also has crucial information like what mine had. Would this also be deleted too? Night (company) ItsElectricz (talk) 22:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

That article was written by an editor who did not have a conflict of interest in doing so, based on reliable secondary sources, regarding a company that meets our notability requirements for inclusion. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wait, so editors with conflict of interest cannot publish their own articles? If so, could I at least have a copy for a supporter of mine to publish? ItsElectricz (talk) 22:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Editors with a conflict of interest are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves. If you have someone write the article because you asked them to, that would also be a conflict of interest (and possibly a violation of WP:PAID depending on the circumstances). Your company in no way meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion (which I linked above). Additional information can be found at WP:NOTYOU.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:05, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I won't do that. Could I at least still have a copy of what I had written for a document? ItsElectricz (talk) 23:12, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I can send you a copy if you activate your email in your preferences (check the "Allow other users to email me"). You can disable it again after I send it to you.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:15, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, my little Ponyo. I don't know if this info is any use to anybody, but the IP on your page is obviously the same person as this one, which I just blocked for 6 months.

It is becoming clear that you have some sort of conflict of interest with this book; your sole purpose in editing Wikipedia has been to try to spam a paragraph regarding this book, either by adding it directly or canvassing others to do it for you. I see that you're still canvassing, despite my warnings. You cannot canvas editors to edit WP:EC-protected articles on contentious topics on your behalf. I'd block you myself if I hadn't been trying to explain this to you for so long.
