About user who disrupt "Yukio Mishima"

Hi. Thank you for letting me know about [1]. I think this User:CyberIdris violated the rule of multiple accounts. Where can I report multiple accounts? みしまるもも (talk) 01:21, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi みしまるもも, thanks for asking! Normally, you can report sockpuppetry at WP:SPI, but I have already seen and dealt with that specific situation. Unless it continues, the warning on their talk page and the already-placed block of the IP address showing the same behavior as the account should be sufficient. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Dear ToBeFree, Thank you very much. みしまるもも (talk) 01:55, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Dear ToBeFree, I would like to report this User:CyberIdris to WP:AIV because he is making the same mistake over again without providing any evidence for the edits I am making based on professional sources. Even in discussions, this person never gives a clear source.--みしまるもも (talk) 06:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi ToBeFree, User:みしまるもも is very uncivil and aggressive. His userpage suggests that he possibly has a conflict of interest or some kind of heavy personal bias toward Yukio Mishima and another user pointed this out about him on the talk page. I think he is improperly weaponizing reports as a way to force his personal views. He seems to be interested in promoting a nationalist POV and not being neutral or helping the encyclopedia. I also want to point out his account appears to be named after Yukio Mishima (his account is Rumomo Mishima). CyberIdris (talk) 07:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

I believe it is you who has a personal prejudice against Yukio Mishima. Of course, I like Yukio Mishima, and I have read his works and all his literature, as well as the research of various researchers. That is why I can see where your perception is strange.

First of all, please tell me the clear source of the edit you made based on your personal assumption (restoring direct rule by the Emperor),(Even before the war, the Emperor did not rule directly, so this is illogical.), why I deleted the edit that established Mishima's position as a literary figure based on Donald Keene's source, and why I changed the official English titles of Mishima's works to incorrect ones.

Also, I don't really want to doubt you, but you remind me a little of Mr. Ash-Gaar. みしまるもも (talk) 08:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello CyberIdris and みしまるもも, in your article talk page discussion at Talk:Yukio Mishima, please focus on content rather than others' behavior. If someone is behaving in a problematic way, I recommend talking to them on their user talk page. For example, if the conduct of user X upsets you, go to User_talk:X and tell them why. And if this really really doesn't help, you can create a report at WP:ANI, where your own behavior will be scrutinized too, however. AIV is unsuitable for such disputes; use ANI please.

If possible, discuss the article content on the article's talk page without talking about user behavior, and without asking people directly to do or not to do something, and without criticizing anyone. Such topics don't belong to an article talk page discussion.

If the article talk page discussion starts running in circles, you can request a third opinion, but this is only an option if you both have really discussed the content rather than people's behavior.

If absolutely nothing helps, you'll need an RfC to find a consensus, but you're far away from this point. Far away. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:32, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

@ToBeFree, Could you please check my talk page and the numerous edit warning notices I've received? Despite making constructive and good-faith edits to Rajput, Rajput clans, and Political marriages in India, I haven't engaged in any edit wars or disruptions on Wikipedia and calling my edit as "Shamaless attempt".[2] wich I believe was provoking®asteem Talk 11:25, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

"numerous edit warning notices" - You have only received a single edit warring notice(softer wording) because you were in fact edit warring, see my latest reply on your talkpage. The other was a general note regarding marking non minor edits as minor, therefore not a warning. This is irrelevant now because that phrase was retracted [3], I also do not understand why are you forumshopping instead of responding to Abhishek. Ratnahastin (talk) 11:31, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

I would like to differ with Ratnahastin. I checked the page edited by Rasteem and found that their edits were genuine. Also, he is comparatively new to Wikipedia, hence the correct way to alert them is not by bombarding with notices rather than making him aware of policies if the need arises. But, as of now, I don't think they've done any blunder which necessitates such heavy warnings as done on the talk page of several articles and their own talk page. Adamantine123 (talk) 12:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@@ToBeFree: Please also consider this talk page discussion[4] I had with Adamantine123 in wich I shared by concerned that I, Adamantine123, @LukeEmily:, & Ekdalian all we have received some edit warning notices just after making constructive edits on Rajput, Rajput clans, Political marriages in India for no actual edit wars by & received edit warning or contenious topic notices from (Ratnahastin), (NXcrypto), (Dympies) and (Abhishek0831996) you may not mind keeping an eye on these articles. These are some notices I received within less then 10 or 12 hours[5][6] in addition I received same notice twice for the use of minor edit tag on [Rajput]] from Ratnahastin & Dympies.[7][8] ®asteem Talk 11:59, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Although here I differed with Ratnahastin, but, as an older editor compared to you I also have a piece of advice for you. Ratnahastin is a prolific editor in this area. I am noticing their edits for a long time and I have found that they have done good work to keep many contentious articles clean. Please note, that if you accuse a bunch of editors of colluding with each other, this is called violation of WP:AGF. Although, I agree with you that Dympies have been doing some problematic edits on Rajput caste related articles, which is being discussed here at User Talk: Ekdalian#pings by LukeEmily and Ekdalian, you should avoid commenting on motive of editors. Just point out at their edits with reliable source. Also, don't panic and take proper time in making comments and replying to others so that you can scrutinize your comment here. Adamantine123 (talk) 12:56, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Adamantine123 Thank you I'll consider your advise always in my mind before making comments regarding other editors. ®asteem Talk 13:04, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rasteem, I think I see what you mean. Special:Diff/1256313211 is okay. Users are sometimes required to send these messages before they can request other actions. It's okay for Ratnahastin to send this message to you, but only once. In general, you are allowed to tell someone to stop messaging you, and they're required to stop. However, {{ani-notice}}, the alert box from Special:Diff/1256313211 or similar notifications may still be sent, of course. If you tell someone not to message you and they continue sending unnecessary messages, that would be a form of harassment. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:53, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

File:Visual Editor - Overlapping issue.png

Hi ToBeFree,

I was going through random files in Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons and came to this one. It's in your category Category:Files prepared for transfer to Commons by User ToBeFree but I don't think this should be transfered, as it wouldn't be useful in other Wikimedia Projects. What do I do, remove it from your category and tag with Template:Do not move to Commons? Or only tag with Template:Do not move to Commons? Thanks, Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 22:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Myrealnamm, thanks for asking! In general, I'm very happy about files being removed from this category and marked as unsuitable for transfer to Commons; the category is a chaotic result of a process described at User talk:ToBeFree/A/1 § Image copyright question and in desperate need of cleanup. So thank you very much for every single image you're checking there.

However, to my knowledge, usefulness to just one Wikimedia project is not an exclusion criterion. On the contrary, a media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose on Wikimedia Commons, and the file is used for an archived VisualEditor bug report. So I'd say feel free to transfer rather than removing or tagging as ineligible. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh wow, I... never saw COM:INUSE. For sure, I'll transfer it over.

By the way, I see that when I transfer the file over, Category:Files prepared for transfer to Commons by User ToBeFree also gets brought over to Commons, and there's a discussion that started over three years ago (that you've participated in) regarding your category in Commons.

I have to go soon, I'll take a look at this tom. Thanks! Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 02:06, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

A hundred years later people will still stumble upon this horrible category because the English Wikipedia is still full of files that aren't properly sorted between "transferable to Commons" and "not transferable to Commons" and the category is better than nothing for identifying transferable files... ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:10, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Wait, I just said I would transfer it over... But then I didn't. Now I did. Thanks for the nudge!

Ha! That's hilarious. Gotta go, coming back tom. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 02:13, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

That wasn't meant to be a nudge! Thanks again and feel free to ask about any other files in the category. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:57, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
