Ben Roberts Smith

Hello. I've started a discussion on the BRS talkpage ref using war criminal in the opening sentence if you'd like to contribute 2001:8F8:1D63:6485:17CD:3B73:BC40:4AD0 (talk) 04:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Block evading sock Ben Roberts-Smith article

I have little doubt that you're right, but I'm curious. How do you know that IP editor is a block evading sock? HiLo48 (talk) 06:43, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

@HiLo48 check my contribution history for a recent SPI that I opened. TarnishedPath^talk 06:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I see. It's challenging though when there seem to be so many IP addresses involved. HiLo48 (talk) 07:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

@HiLo48 I'm not sure if you're using it, but there's an WP option that will tell you were in the world an IP editor geolocates to when you're looking at an articles edit history. The second I saw UAE, knowing BRS is one of the articles that editor repeatedly goes back to, I knew it was them. After I ran the editor interaction tool it just confirmed it. TarnishedPath^talk 07:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Yep. I'm familiar with geolocate and similar tools. I just admire your persistence in following through on all this. HiLo48 (talk) 07:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

@HiLo48 as I said, I've had them stalk me accross Wikimedia Foundation projects to vandalise my User page on another project so I have little patience for their behaviour. TarnishedPath^talk 07:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Understood. I'll keep an eye out and do what I can. HiLo48 (talk) 08:03, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hopefully my SPI takes them out of action for a while. TarnishedPath^talk 08:29, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Why revert all the edits?

You reverted a lot of much needed content update and fixes because you didn't like 1 minor factual change? KiharaNoukan (talk) 06:36, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

@KiharaNoukan overwhelming consensus formed so far is for complete removal, not addition to the material.

Now you've reverted me to restore material after being reverted yourself. There's an active arbitration notice at the top of Talk:Hunter Biden which states (amongst other things) that "[y]ou must follow the bold-revert-discuss cycle if your change is reverted. You may not reinstate your edit until you post a talk page message discussing your edit and have waited 24 hours from the time of this talk page message". You need to self-revert back to my edit immediately. TarnishedPath^talk 06:49, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
