User undid all my contributions

The user user:CurryTime7-24 keeps removing all my contributions and first I tried not to take it personally but now I'm feeling hounded. I added contributions to some articles, added the sources and he removed all of my edits simply because he didn't like the sourced link. He suggested IMSLP, which doesn't even have information about the text I added. Now it's a back and forth of him removing my entire contributions, regardless of what's inside. Right now he's removing the one I had added after you told me to review it, which I did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho_(1960_film) He's moved onto every other revision I made and it's turning into an editing war. Please advise. John40332 (talk) 14:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

It looks like all the additions use www.sheetmusicx.com as a citation. Do you have any assocuation with that website? --Diannaa (talk) 15:32, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I don't, they're the only publisher releasing those works, that's why information about those pieces is so scarce. John40332 (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

The website does not appear to be the official publisher for any of these scores. For sure they are not the official publishers for the Herrmann and Shostakovich works that John40322 added the link to. The company that they cite to also appears to be brand new. I haven't looked through all of its catalog, but a lot of its scores do not appear to even be available for sale until next year. None of these works are obscure. So it's odd that this editor chooses to cite a very obscure music publisher.

Some of this user's edits are also perhaps unintentionally misleading. This edit at Tahiti Trot suggested that the site they linked to was the first to publish the original score and parts. This would be incorrect, as previously existing sources in the article already confirm. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

The "obscure" publisher has been in business for over a decade and is a respectable publisher

https://daniels-orchestral.com/other-resources/publishers/s/

Their publishings go back to 2010 https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Search?q=STRAUSS&num=25&start=0&enviro=prod&DateBucket=2010-2019%7C2010&DataSource=Library

The website registration shows 2010 in fact https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

I don't know why you specifically have to be convinced of it in order for edits to stick, but I'm done even trying, just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's fake or dubious, it's people like you that make editing on Wikipedia so unpleasant. John40332 (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

You need to discuss this somewhere else please. Diannaa (talk) 16:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

The user:CurryTime7-24 continues harassing me and WP:HOUNDING, if I edit 4 articles he goes right there to undo what I edit, regardless of the content, you just have to see his history where he goes around reverting whatever I touch. Now he is trying to report me as a bot, when I'm clearly not one. At this point I'd like to know if there's a way to stop him from interacting with my edits, or some temporary block on him? He's making editing on Wikipedia very unfriendly and acts like he owns it WP:OWN. I cited proper sources in my edits, I don't know why he's been targeting me but it's exhausting. John40332 (talk) 09:44, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

This is already being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music and Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Sorry but I don't have time to get involved. It's an edit war orver the reliability of a particular website, and I don't have time to get into that.--Diannaa (talk) 13:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Backendgaming sockpuppets

Hi Diannaa, I am asking for your opinion on this subject because you were an admin that dealt with the SPI case against Backendgaming. Since the last recorded incidents from 2018, I noticed there were further potential sockpuppet accounts made since then, including the following:

• AgeOfAntiquity
• DelusionalThomaz515610
• KasiakMokaiji
• MichelinDiode
• SimeonManier
• XxiaXxia

All of which display a notable overlap in edit style and choice of topic with Backendgaming. Although some have not been used recently, and the others have been recently blocked for personal attacks against other editors, my question is whether you think it is worth doing a checkuser on these accounts as sockpuppets of Backendgaming? If identified as socks, it would help in watching over articles that tends to be targeted, help identify further socks as Backendgaming remains actively editing, and may help to undo a lot the disruptive edits already made. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks. 37.0.81.237 (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know mich about this topic. Please go to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Backendgaming to file your report. Thanks, Diannaa (talk) 11:52, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikizilla; copyright or not?

Hi Diannaa! Happy almost new year :) I see that you removed and revdeleted content at Shin Godzilla (character) from Wikizilla stating that it wasn't compatible and then later on at Tiamat (Godzilla) declined the G12 and attributed it. Do you think it's ultimately compatible? I see that it's been removed and revdelled at Kong (Monsterverse) additionally, and I just reverted a removal at User:GojiraFan1954/sandbox/Goro Maki myself, so it seems like we're all off-base and I thought I'd get another opinion. Sennecaster (Chat) 04:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Sennecaster, that's a good question. Their copyright page is hard to find, so I bookmarked it. Here it is. Diannaa (talk) 09:41, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Request for Assistance

You are an administrator that I respect, @Diannaa. If possible, I would value your contribution to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Palestinian political violence (3rd nomination). It would mean a lot to have your third-party, experienced perspective. Firecat93 (talk) 19:50, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Interactive Artificial inteligence

Greeting i am a university student and was tasked with creating a wikipedia page creating a new page in wiki pedia in the path of expanding information. i choosed "interactive artificial intelligence" as my topic and used the article "Interactive AI With Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Next Generation Networking" written by Ruichen Zhang , Hongyang Du , Yinqiu Liu , Dusit Niyato , Jiawen Kang , Sumei Sun , Xuemin Shen , and H. Vincent Poor as a source but i was striked as advertisement ban the second time i tried to publish the article i got permanently ban. i want to ask for an reconsideration for uploading my article as i did not aim for any advertising and only stated IAI advancements againts traditional tools.

thank you for reading. Iliya izj (talk) 23:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't find your deleted article, and you don't have any deleted contributions under the username user:Iliya izj. Please tell me which account you were using when you created the article. Were you actually banned or blocked? What was the exact title of your article? or was it in a sandbox, or a draft? Diannaa (talk) 01:49, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I think they mean Draft:Interactive AI. Nobody (talk) 06:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, that's it. The draft was deleted twice, because it was copied from this journal article, which is not compatibly licensed. That's a violation of our copyright policy. Then there's Draft:هوش مصنوعی تعاملی, which is another copy, but in Persian. @Iliya izj, please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. Diannaa (talk) 12:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

OP blocked as a block-evading sockpuppet of blocked spammer/copyvio'er, Iliya IZ. --Yamla (talk) 12:21, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Yamla, case closed, at least for now. Diannaa (talk) 12:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
