Billiekhalidfan

Hi FlightTime. Even though I know you're quite busy most days, if you can, could you help keep an eye on the editor Billiekhalidfan? Asking as you've previously warned them several times. Honestly most of their edits are still unexplained and contentious from the outset and moreso their ideas of what things should be rather than what they are. If you get time, it'd be appreciated anyway. Thanks. Ss112 07:51, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ss112: I have been keeping an eye on this user, They definitely want things their way, however I am heeding Ad Orientem "new user" suggestions. They will either conform to a productive community member or hang themselves in the long run. - FlightTime (open channel) 14:29, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In the meantime they're just going to continue to screw up articles though. I have no patience for newbies who want to fire back with the snark of an editor who's been here for years. My patience with them has run out as of several minutes ago. Ss112 23:18, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla, Martinevans123, and Huon:I've been yelled at for making comments on unblock request so I'm making it here. I was A'ing GF and helped him placed the {{admin help}} request, however i do remember the immense disruption this user caused before his block, I know you guys know what you're doing, but I just had a need to post my opinion, I would think thrice (which I can see you're already doing) before considering unblocking this user, I'm not convinced about his claim of a turnaround. Thank for listening. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 22:51, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you seem to have been acting in perfectly good faith in trying to help Hillbilly. Re your edit two years ago, was that for the YouTube video link itself or for the copy of the lyrics? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:27, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Martinevans123: Based on a quick review, I'd would say most certainly due to "lyrics" which are most certainly always a copyvio. And again thank you for listening :) - FlightTime (open channel) 16:28, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some other editors sometimes hating mine, even accusing me of vandalism.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 03:23, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well that one wasn't :) - FlightTime (open channel) 03:25, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, on SHIELD, I thought it would be better by putting the fictional organization's logo instead of the character Nick Fury's picture, because it would represent it overall.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 03:26, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would ask you not to do drive by reversions!

I have spent hours discerning sourcing issues in the Cline article, and then correcting them, including:

  • completing many incomplete or deadlink sources, and
  • adding more sources to remove the many places where the text is "just trust me, it's true".

This was especially done, because the just trust me is most likely cut and paste from the candidate's own materials, but also, in general, because I am an academic, and I believe in the WP policies regarding WP:VER.

Please, review again what was done. I ask you to revert your own reversion. Thanks. 24.1.0.28 (talk) 20:43, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
