Review the articles created by User:श्रीराम खड्का

User:श्रीराम खड्का has created multiple articles simultaneously, all of which have been generated by an LLM and are devoid of references, while those that have been included are inconsistent. Additionally, complex words have been used. I have tagged them with the {{AI-notice}}. Review the articles User:श्रीराम खड्का has created, and I think they should be deleted. Zjui3r (talk) 19:28, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User notified, most articles deleted for various policy issues. A couple of the others do not qualify for QD, but should be cleaned up. Thank you for noticing these articles and noting them. Griff (talk) 14:40, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

162.156.70.174

Special:Contribs/162.156.70.174 is using AI/LLM to write all their articles and comments. 2601:644:907E:A70:85FF:1340:9A1E:D909 (talk) 20:45, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion at Talk:2025 United States trade war with Canada and Mexico is just crazy. The ip is replying to themself, repeatedly, all AI generated. Ravensfire (talk) 21:18, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked for a year to give time for AI to further develop and realise how not to talk to itself. Griff (talk) 13:54, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I needed the laugh this morning, thanks! Ravensfire (talk) 14:07, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Fotor-2024041210012.png

Could an admin please reply to the message left by Mooresklm2016 at File:Fotor-2024041210012.png? The page should be deleted, but before that's done, communication should be started with that user. 2601:644:907E:A70:E489:BBF9:E45D:3FF (talk) 00:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done and done. Thanks for the note, Griff (talk) 13:54, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mohammed uzzal miah

The following users at Mohammed uzzal miah, Talk:Mohammed uzzal miah, and Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2025/Mohammed uzzal miah should be blocked for violating WP:ONESTRIKE.

This is because User:Rukbv64bnn has changed other people's comments at the rfd (and they are already blocked on English Wikipedia).

They have admitted that User:Hbbbbbbkmnnnbb and User:Radikanardi also belong to them. 69.222.191.67 (talk) 22:11, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have indeffed the main account. Where did they state that the other accounts were also theirs? -- Auntof6 (talk) 22:43, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6 In these edits: [1]. They said "I want to clarify that both accounts were created by me" and also made the same comment from another account. 69.222.191.67 (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I am not a checkuser, so I will let the checkuser process handle the others. -- Auntof6 (talk) 22:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nautica Malone

Would an admin mind looking into semi-protecting the article? It seems to be collecting more than a few trolls today and there are BLP issues given this is about a recent suicide. Ravensfire (talk) 15:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ravensfire, it looks to have calmed down some. I have added the article to my watchlist and will protect if vandalism becomes an issue again. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Griff (talk) 13:53, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Appreciated. Ravensfire (talk) 14:07, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request move of template

Please move Template:For multi to Template:For-multi over the page that exists at the latter title. (Please move the doc page too.) The template has been moved at enwiki and new articles transferred from enwiki will likely use the latter title. 166.107.163.31 (talk) 23:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done ...and the website did not crash while doing it! Please let me know if you see any unintended issues from the move. Thanks, Griff (talk) 13:57, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TTYDDoopliss

After being blocked for WP:NOTHERE and revealed as a sock of user WhereverWeAreNow on the English Wikipedia, this user has migrated to Simple English Wikipedia to continue making disruptive edits that led to the block on enwiki in the first place.

  • Removal of sourced content, WP:NPOV violation in edit summary: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]
  • Removal of image with a WP:NPOV-violating edit summary: [8], compare [9] (edit summary removed for severe BLP violations)

Per the WP:ONESTRIKE rule, TTYDDoopliss should be also blocked from this wiki indefinitely. theinstantmatrix (talk) 15:44, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I have blocked the user per ONESTRIKE. Griff (talk) 16:01, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

two (or more) promotional/spam articles, in one day

Creating two promotional/spam articles.

See simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kayaliesmith

. I have asked for qd of the one article. Someone else might want to ask for qd of the other article, if not an outright block is out of the question. Good luck while i fix other articles. Thanks. 2001:2020:315:A7A4:6414:4835:B3BD:6B3F (talk) 16:10, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - Thanks for the note. Griff (talk) 17:31, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protection request

Hi, Could someone protect Maan (caste) and Chandel please as there's an edit war between 2 IPs,

I'm assuming 103.46.201.212 is correct in removing the content as the person that keeps adding the content has been doing so under different IPs and an account, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 17:15, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

*heavy sigh* Thanks Davey, both articles are now semi-protected. If you notice edit warring on any other caste articles, please let us know. Griff (talk) 17:37, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Griffinofwales, No worries and okay will do - I've pretty much ignored whatever they were doing on the caste articles but 103s edit summaries caught my eye and yeah didn't want the wrong person blocked, Anyway no worries thanks for actioning this, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 18:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RD1 request

(Please let me know if there's a better way to request RD1s here.) Boreas and Zephyrus both need cv redaction. Special:Diff/9956329 onward is from [10], Special:Diff/9893548 onward from [11] and [12]. The account is blocked as a sock on en-wiki: [13]. -- Asilvering (talk) 04:46, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm at it, there are a number of articles by W;ChangingUsername that are copied from the NHS website. The text has been removed already, but it should also be RD1'd. Since most of their articles were created before they were warned about this, I expect the issue affects all of them. I got here via Copypatrol dinging Chlorphenamine. -- asilvering (talk) 05:13, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I started making a list of the articles by this editor that need revdel, but actually, they're all QD candidates, looks like. So you can save your erasers (and use dynamite instead). I know none of them look like much right now, but if you don't QD them, you'd have to a) rewrite the stub and b) revdel most of the history anyway. But there's still a bit of eraser-work to do:
Sorry in advance about your erasers. -- asilvering (talk) 06:26, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Some more:
  • Allergy, everything from their first edit on 2 June up to my edit
  • Diazepam, everything from their 1 July edit to Davey2010's first edit
  • Abdominal pain, everything from their first 1 June edit up to my edit
  • Hyperthyroidism, everything from their 12:22 edit on May 29 (ie, including the edit "Symptoms final" but not the two previous ones) up to my edit - this is from a variety of sources, incl [14], [15], possibly some non-NHS stuff (copypatrol dings [16])
asilvering (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I didn't mean to do any more, but: Special:Diff/9548231 onward copies from [17]. -- asilvering (talk) 05:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - Quite a lot of work but thank you for catching it. Griff (talk) 14:05, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Famous last words... judging by the state of the copypatrol backlog, that's only the barest tip of the iceberg. -- asilvering (talk) 18:28, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Additional RD1 from CopyPatrol, already reverted/single revisions.
RD1 from CopyPatrol with multiple revisions.
Sennecaster (talk) 21:23, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - I used up several erasers getting through all of these :) Thank you (sincerely) for finding these copyright violations and presenting the diffs/information in an easy way to process. Best, Griff (talk) 01:38, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
asilvering (talk) 05:45, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - thanks for noticing. Griff (talk) 22:56, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

69.156.206.236

69.156.206.236 is still copying articles from enwiki without simplifying the language, even after two temporary blocks. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:36, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the notice. The user has been blocked. Griff (talk) 22:36, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2601:586:CC00:E0B0:7C6D:174D:855F:39E is doing the same thing, and with articles of the same type (e.g. animation studios). I think this is the same person using a different IP. jlwoodwa (talk) 09:46, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked as well, thanks for the report. Griff (talk) 22:59, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kelly299 and 93.182.105.236 - block request

So Kelly299 creates an account and immediately replaces images of tanks with Turkish ones and then starts replacing pizza images with Turkish pizzas as well as removing "Greek" from types of Pizzas[20][21][22]

Two minutes later 93.182.105.236 joins in in the edit war removing the same content[23][24][25][26],

In the edit war Kelly has claimed the content is racism and the IP is claiming "keeping Greek instead of Turkish is nationalist POV",

The IP has also made previous Greek-to-Turkish replacements:[27],

I'm assuming Kelly is the IP and I'm assuming the IP is an LTA or someone, Anyway could these be blocked please, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 16:32, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

93.182.105.236 has been blocked, imho Kelly should be too due to their unhinged POV editing, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 16:34, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Davey2010 the IP has been blocked already but Auntof6. Things were turning heated on a simple article, I was to the point of edit war was happening between me and the IP. I am more calmer now, I was kinda passive aggressive with the changes. But the IP is now blocked and it's done with. Thanks - Adelaide 𝓐𝓭𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓲𝓭𝓮 (𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴 ♡ 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓫𝓼) 16:37, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Kelly has stopped editing for now. Final warning given. Let us know if they resume editing in a problematic manner. Thanks for the report, Griff (talk) 23:06, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Griffinofwales, No worries and brilliant thank you :), Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 23:11, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protection request

Hi, Could someone indefinitely protect List of programs distributed by Qubo (block) please to match List of programs broadcast by Qubo (block),

These articles are LTA/sock magnets and are created by IPs who simply add made up content, Both articles redirect to the main parent article so there should be no need to edit them, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 18:44, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Brilliant thank you much appreciated :), Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 19:02, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update to filter 42

The filter should have the name changed to Adding links to other language Wikipedias. The tag should have the same name as the new filter name, and the tag article with links to other-language wikis? should be deactivated or deleted. I added another regex line to exclude changes that are logged by Special:AbuseFilter/115 (attempts to cite Wikipedia itself). 

wikipedia := "(?<!simple\.|simple\.m\.)\bwikipedia\.org\b";
reference := "<\s*ref[^\/]*>[^<]*wikipedia\.org";

page_namespace == 0 &
!("autoconfirmed" in user_rights) &
added_lines rlike wikipedia &
!(removed_lines rlike wikipedia) &
!(added_lines rlike reference) /* covered by filter 115 */

Thank you. Codename Noreste (talk) 02:39, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - Thanks for flagging. Griff (talk) 03:14, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
