October 2014[edit]

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Don't Stand So Close to Me does not have an edit summary. Please make sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

The edit summary appears in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! SummerPhD (talk) 12:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We have recurring vandals who seem to be obsessed with changing dates, times and other assorted numbers in articles such as Don't Stand So Close to Me. Upon examination -- requiring absurd amounts of work -- the changes turn out to be completely random. Basically, this leaves us with two choices: Absurd amounts of work to verify edits from someone who doesn't use edit summaries or cite sources or reverting the edits and demanding edit summaries and sources.

You are making a change without explanation or a source. I'm reverting it again. If you would like to restore your edit, please cite a source for the change and/or use an edit summary that explains where you got your times from. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:51, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please cite a source for the change and/or use an edit summary that explains where you got your times from. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:32, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may yet have to join us on the EVIL list, above... Pinkbeast (talk) 03:57, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have added cites for the article. - SumevilPhD (talk) 15:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SumevilPhD? I thought it was SummerPhD! You're not even on the evil list!

Yay! Now I am! I'd like to thank God, the Academy and most of all my wonderful wife. Without all of you, I never could have achieved this honor. Thank you! - OfficiallyEVIL (talk) 23:26, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

November 2014[edit]

I have reverted the founding date of Jehovah's Witnesses. No such claim can be made. But feel free to start a discussion if you have some reliable sources you'd like to raise. BlackCab (TALK) 21:21, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions are appreciated, but, in this recent edit to There's Never a Forever Thing, you removed Articles for deletion notices from articles or removed other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. This makes it difficult to establish consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Avono♂ (talk) 22:43, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with There's Never a Forever Thing. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 00:05, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is why you are EVIL, SummerPhD.

Not really, that's a misunderstanding. My restoring AfD tags from articles is merely a symptom of my being evil. The reason I'm evil is because God made me evil, so that I can go to Hell and suffer for all eternity. He enjoys that kinda thing. Maybe He should be on your list. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:16, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--Jeffro77 (talk) 00:53, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The previously archived ANI indicated above has been continued at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Matt200055.--Jeffro77 (talk) 02:48, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Matt200055, disruption is blockable, the length of time depending on the severity of the disruption. That includes maintaining "evil" lists, but also disruptive editing--genre warring, reverting without explanation, adding unverified information (such as on Taylor Swift), and removing valid information (such as in Template:A-ha). Thank you, Drmies (talk) 01:12, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IT WAS VERIFIED. Check the new album, "1989". — Preceding unsigned comment added by AntiMatt200055 of Alternatia (talk • contribs) 04:28, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation[edit]

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Matt200055, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Opening of Sockpuppet Investigation[edit]

Who would this editor be that opened this investigation? Matt200055 (talk) 04:51, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That would be me. I created the investigation in error and have asked for it to be deleted. Please see the question below, though. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:55, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Matt200055 = AntiMatt20055?[edit]

Please clarify: What is the relationship between these accounts? Is there a reason you have two user names? - SummerPhD (talk) 04:53, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case this account got hacked, I would have a backup. Matt200055 (talk) 04:57, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given your recent inappropriate behaviour, I'm not buying that excuse, particularly since you're concurrently using both accounts.--Jeffro77 (talk) 05:05, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You callin' me a liar?! Matt200055 (talk) 05:09, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm calling you an editor who is known to resort to mischief such as maintaining inappropriate lists of perceived wrongs and vandalising User pages when you don't get your own way instead of discussing on article Talk pages.--Jeffro77 (talk) 05:15, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalising user pages? Matt200055 (talk) 05:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. But you already know that.--Jeffro77 (talk) 05:22, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Give proof that I am a vandal towards user pages. C'mon, give proof! Matt200055 (talk) 05:25, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please hold off on further discussion. I have requested administrator assistance before this goes any further. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:26, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SummerPHD likes making Sockpuppet allegations that both lack evidence and are totally wrong. Check this[1] out....William 02:23, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a battleground. Your hurt feelings from an issue months ago are not relevant to this issue. Well before you posted this, I addressed the issue. The two accounts are one editor and I attempted to remove the sock case and resolve the issue. If, after looking into it further, you feel there is reason to address my behavior, please take the issue to AN/I. You know the way. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:33, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anywhere where we can discuss this outside of Wikipedia? I'm not addressing your behaviour until I hear your side of the story and make a decision! Matt200055 (talk) 03:37, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discussing this outside of the project would be inappropriate.

Opening the sock case on you was unnecessary. While I do not see a legitimate reason for you to be using two accounts, this should have been resolvable by having someone uninvolved explain that to you and blocking the secondary account as a technical matter. Problem solved. To get that going, I attempted to delete the sock case. Jeffro77 disagreed and removed the deletion notice from the sock case and responded here. I asked for an admin to step in and address this, but that's gotten a bit complicated now.

WilliamJE is apparently upset about a sock case I was involved in here. While WilliamJE was blocked, an anonymous editor started the AN/I case in his defense. I mistakenly believed the IP was WilliamJE. That hurt his feelings. (Apparently, the IP was a sock of a different blocked user.)

Now Pinkbeast has made a rather cryptic comment about 162.157.225.132 at the sock case. If you have any comment on that IP's edits, please address them on the sock case.

Given the number of situations mixing together here, I am unsure if intervention from a single admin can really clear this up at this point. An AN/I case might be necessary. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Opening the SPI case was valid, but became redundant once Matt200055 confirmed they're both his accounts. Previous interaction with WilliamJE is not relevant to the situation.

The comment by PinkBeast was phrased cryptically because Wikipedia policy on 'outing' encourages tip-toeing around the fact that we know an IP editor to be a specific named user. However, Wikipedia's policy does not extend to information an editor has revealed about themself, which would include the obvious timing and content of the vandalising of my User page.--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:23, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Summer can't keep his facts straight plus falsely accuse people of socking. I wasn't blocked at the time the ANI case he links to above was started. Secondly, within the last month he started another sockpuppet investigation that proved to be wrong. Here it is[2]. Yesterday he accuses me of personal attacks because I point out his blundering and reverts posts of mine to another editor's talk page. His conduct speaks for itself and there should be talk of WP:BOOMERANG before he accuses another editor falsely of sockpuppetry....William 11:18, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Any real or imagined wrong committed against you (WilliamJE) by SummerPhD in the past has absolutely no relevance here. The user has in fact confirmed that both user accounts are his (and the IP is quite obviously him as well)..--Jeffro77 (talk) 11:24, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an imagined wrong. He accused me of sockpuppetry without evidence when it never took place. Did you notice the SPI was closed and for what reason? He made another wrong accusation of sockpuppetry just recently too. Summer's past behavior of accusing editors of sockpuppetry without evidence is relevant when assessing whether his current accusation should be taken seriously....William 14:22, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care. I said "real or imagined". In either case, it is not relevant here. Matt200055 and AntiMatt200055 are not only obviously the same user, but the user has also confirmed it.--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:36, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What he said. Matt200055 (talk) 23:48, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Paul waaktaar-savoy.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Paul waaktaar-savoy.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
