Meghan119 / Maxwell228

92.6.185.240 · 2.25.78.228 · 92.11.185.145 · 93.182.105.236 · 185.43.229.152 · 185.43.231.33 · Meghan119 · Maxwell228 – 2 registered users who modifying descriptions or captions with the intent to deceive others at all edits except user and user talk namespace, Meghan119 said that “Please revert all my edits”. --ThankiL 17:23, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

It looks like all of these have been switching "Indian" to "Pakistani" (and, remarkably, vice versa, with the same account going both ways, sometimes flipping the same page back and forth) in matters mostly related to food.

• 185.43.229.152: two edits, both in February 2024.
• 185.43.231.33: two edits, both 10 July 2024.
• Meghan119: no edits since 10 July 2024
• Maxwell228: 5 edits, all 15-16 July 2024.

Presumably these are all the same person. - Jmabel ! talk 20:32, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Blocked User:93.182.105.236 for a year (already blocked 3 months once recently), including use by logged-in users. Someone else can decide if more is in order here. I would not mind seeing everything indef-blocked, but suspect that is harsher than some others would want to go. - Jmabel ! talk 20:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

 Comment I blocked Maxwell228 for socking. Yann (talk) 20:42, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks all. I didn't take a look at each of these because many IP's edits have been reverted by other volunteers. Listing here just supply additional information, IPs that edited a long time ago are insufficient to block, whatever you want to do about this report is fine by me. --ThankiL 11:31, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Therefore, I want to hear his explanation. --ThankiL 12:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

• Reasons for reporting: Copyright file of File:Sasak language distribution.svg of File:Balinese_language_distribution.svg Both files are identical. This user keeps including "onwork" which is not actually "onwork" which I'm sure is all copyrighted.

Porkistaniempire (talk) 10:38, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

What a drama queen, YilevBot. And also, wtf? Nyilvoskt is a jerk, stinky, and want to take the win only? That's nut, isn't that WP:ATTACK? Nyilvoskt (talk) 10:56, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

LMAO. I guess your report isn't legit especially if you delete my response (soon). Nyilvoskt (talk) 10:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I can see why my file is "unsourced" because... You can't read? Tell me did you forgot to read the references in the description or your edits is just blatantly based on your bias. Nyilvoskt (talk) 11:05, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done I blocked Porkistaniempire as VOA. Yann (talk) 11:09, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
