A short block ruled out?

An IP seems to be spamming new articles about mostly non-notable stars.--Can that account be blocked for say six hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours.--Please see, Wikipedia:Simple_talk#Something_is_rotten_in_the_"land"_of_Stars?. 2001:2020:309:AE06:BD15:72C7:4DB0:35C6 (talk) 18:47, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:GFDL

Hi! I noticed that Template:GFDL have disclaimers and per en:Wikipedia:GFDL standardization disclaimers should be avoided. Since most of the files are spoken articles they should have the same license as the articles on Wikipedia. So we could argue that it was a mistake to add the disclaimers and that they could be removed.

I also noticed that many of the files are also on Commons. So the local file could be deleted. Perhaps someone could have a look and decide what to do? --MGA73 (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to remove the disclaimers. If the articles are GFDL so should spoken versions be so no need for disclaimers. --MGA73 (talk) 16:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Contributions/Malik-Al-Hind and Special:Contributions/Cyber.Eyes.2005

I see both editors reverting each other's edits repeatedly. What kind of action would be needed here? MathXplore (talk) 13:51, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no issues with cyber.eyes edits, And I am sorry if any of my edits violated any guidelines of Wikipedia (which I don't think so it did). Regardless since yesterday, I am seeing cyber eyes reverting my edits which are backed up with reliable citations/sources such as here 1 and here 2. I will honestly prefer to have this peacefully sorted out. And i am sorry again if I have violated any guidelines of Wikipedia considering I am new and I am not aware of all it's rules. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 14:10, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My reason for reverting Malik-Al-Hind's edits is not any sort of personal attack. However, their edits to several articles (Special:Diff/9618778 and Special:Diff/9618508) are controversial and POVish. This isn't the first time Malik-Al-Hind has made such edits; they have received multiple "last warnings" from different editors, with the most recent being a couple of weeks ago. This issue is consistent: not willing to gain consensus on the talk page and reverting edits before consensus is reached. In my edit summaries (Special:Diff/9618735, Special:Diff/9618736), I clearly stated the need to gain consensus on the respective articles' talk pages before re-adding these claims, but this was ignored, and my edits were reverted. Gaining consensus is only beneficial and the only method to solve such disputes. I hope @Malik-Al-Hind stops reverting edits and instead seeks consensus from the community. I am more than willing to help them work on this Wikipedia since they are a new member here, for which they need to cooperate as well. – Cyber.Eyes2005^Talk 14:28, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If not gaining consensus is the problem here, I would do that from now on. Thank you for concerning Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 14:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is mainly the reason for most warnings you have received, and thank you for understanding that. Other disputes, such as a change being POVish or controversial, can be solved on the respective article's talk pages. If anyone wants to join the consensus-building, the discussion is here: Talk:Hulagu Khan#religion. – Cyber.Eyes2005^Talk 15:46, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
