Possible S-U sock?

It looks as though you have specialised in S-U matters, so can I mention that the editing pattern of User:Wenigers may be worth a closer look. Up to you to deal or not when you return - I'm not reporting it elsewhere as yet. HeartofaDog (talk) 01:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously S-U. I have blocked him and will undo some of his worst edits, but I don't have the energy to delete everything (although WP:CSD#G5 applies). — Kusma talk 09:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Special:Contributions/114.181.15.87 is also Sheynhertz-Unbayg. Can you help and fix things? — Kusma talk 09:49, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
And Special:Contributions/121.117.214.184. I have too much IRL work to do to really work on this. — Kusma talk 09:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll tackle some of it, since it was me that dragged you into it.HeartofaDog (talk) 12:32, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that would be nice :) Dealing with him can be very tiring ... — Kusma talk 08:26, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello - and reporting another possible S-U sock, Ahava-tova (talk · contribs). --Sander Säde 14:36, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked and reverted already :) — Kusma talk 17:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello. There was a very important message for you at commons:User talk:Kusma --Ahava-tova (talk) 14:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet

I see you banned 121.117.214.184 (talk · contribs) as a sockpuppet / block evader. It looks like the same user has re-registered as Richard Egger (talk · contribs) and is editing the exact same articles in the same way. Just thought you might like to know. --Biker Biker (talk) 15:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those edits looked awfully suspicious to me as well. You've just blocked the latest IP, and I'm scrolling through their edits (labelled "revert vandalism") now; any assistance would be great. SMC (talk) 17:11, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, nevermind. That was fast :P SMC (talk) 17:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet of Jimbo Wales and Hitler!

Stop your real vandalism and meaningless reverts!! You became a devil! See also protesting on commons:User talk:Kusma --220.220.195.157 (talk) 17:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets

Hello, and thanks for your earlier help. I'm contacting you directly because you know the full story, but Sheynhertz-Unbayg/Richard Egger has continued edit warring on Meinl using the IP address User:220.220.195.157. Is there anything you can do about this? I also think as the editor has now gone beyonde 3rr - 5 reverts now- the page may need some temporary protection. Thanks for your help, Boleyn3 (talk) 17:39, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is already blocked. I'm currently busy reverting some other of Sheynhertz' edits on other IPs and other accounts, and will try to get a checkuser investigation started later. Please tell me again if he restarts using a different IP. Thank you, — Kusma talk 17:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are a couple more Sheynhertz socks that I blocked but haven't reverted yet: User:Lud.Tischler, User:Kaniczer, User:Shav'osi. If you have time to donate to a hopeless cause, please help :) — Kusma talk 18:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about User:Wuermler? Also, shd I be rv'ing all edits or can I leave the useful ones? HeartofaDog (talk) 23:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I typically just revert everything, it is much faster than figuring out how much is useful. (The difference between a banned user and a non-banned user is that a banned user is not allowed to make good edits: neither banned nor non-banned user are allowed to make bad edits). As more than half of Sheynhertz' edits cause problems and the non-problematic ones are typically simple cut and pastes from the Jewish Encyclopedia, I don't think we're losing much. Plus we tell him that we don't want him here at all if he is editing the way he is. (At five edits per day, he would be tolerable, but not at 50). — Kusma talk 06:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit reverts. Why?

I see you are making a continuos revert of edits by various IP's that are likely a sockpuppet. Problem is I dont understand why you are revert good edits like etc. Can you explain the situation. Thanks, SunCreator (talk) 13:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The user is banned, so I revert all his edits without checking them first. They may be good, but banned users aren't allowed to make any edits. From a practical point of view, there's no way that anybody can possibly review 100 edits per day, about half of which are bad, while many are questionable, and then fix them. Or at least not one person alone: some years ago, we had a coordinated project that checked and cleaned up all of the original user's (Sheynhertz-Unbayg) 20000 edits. See the project page at Wikipedia:SU. If you want some background material, the original ban discussion is here (with links to previous RfC) and some more links can be found on my user subpage User:Kusma/Sheynhertz.
The really sad thing about this story is that Sheynhertz works hard to get all his favorite onomastics, Jewish history and Eastern European geography articles into Wikipedia, and tries to organize and categorize them in some way that he finds useful. However, nobody has ever managed to talk to him and make sure he doesn't create at least as much work for other editors that clean up behind him (he calls this cleanup "vandalism" and never listens to me). Each of his edits isn't very bad and is quite manageable (and many of them are good or useful, especially some redirects), but the sheer amount of them is too much.
If you want to talk to him (it's hard on enwiki because he's account-hopping every time somebody posts on his talk page), you can try his page at commons: commons:User talk:Sheynhertz-Unbayg. If you manage to talk him into being reasonable, I'll be happy to unblock his account here. He won't even have to retract his death threats against me, I'd be satisfied if he simply agreed to just use one account, not edit too fast and to heed the advice of others. Good luck, — Kusma talk 14:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You were involved in a discussion regarding the use of copyrighted architectural designs on Wikipedia pages and I'm trying to find community consensus on a gray area. If you can, please let me know at what point you feel these images should be replaced here. Thank you so much! DR04 (talk) 19:26, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Issue w/German sources

Reverting valid edits

Hi, can I please ask why you seem to be indiscriminately reverting valid edits such as this and this? GiantSnowman 11:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
