Miracle of Lanciano

Could you help me in the following case: Miracle of Lanciano. It is about Catholic belief that a miracle happened in the 8th century. In the article a passage named "scientific tests" were inserted, which were invented for the most part. Several users have pointed out that falsified sources are used here (see discussion page). I have deleted this invented passage. A fundamentalist user now reinserts this faked nonsense: Rafelosornio. What can I do? Where can I report this? I consider the reinsertion of fake sources as downright vandalism. Please look at the nonsense passed off as encyclopedic knowledge in this article.Mr. bobby (talk) 09:25, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

WP:RSN is the place to discuss sourcing issues. If there are multiple users pointing out the issue, and the other editor continues to edit against consensus it may be worth writing up a report at WP:ANI. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:40, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Also Mr. bobby, please keep your comments focused on content and not contributor, it's not great to call other users fundamentalists. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:49, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

I would like to report this very user personally. This is clearly vandalism: several users have expressed that almost all sources in the article are unscientific, manipulative, and based on POV internet sites. This is in full detail on the article's discussion page. I have deleted several fake sources individually, tw. with individual justifications in the change comment. Nevertheless Rafaelosornio reverts all (!) reverts with the reference to a single source, which is nowhere quoted appropriately! Where can I report this as vandalism?Mr. bobby (talk) 17:12, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, I tried: WP:ANI.Mr. bobby (talk) 17:25, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

December 2022

Someone needs to say Seasons Greeting and Happy New Year on this User talk page. Scottish, you did a close on a RFC at "2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine" a few months ago with success, and I am wondering if you could take a look at another still open RFC there now which is past due for being closed. Any chance that you could give it a look sometime before the New Year? ErnestKrause (talk) 16:20, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't have time at the moment to write up a full closing statement, but I also don't see that it necessarily needs formal closure. It's a pretty clear case of no consensus yet again. I'll try to get around to it in the next few days, though, if you think it's necessary. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:35, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

That actually wpuld be quite useful and anytime during the next few days or the next week would be nice to see the close. Your previous close was very adequate to the task. (And, Greetings for the New Year). ErnestKrause (talk) 15:24, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

All set. Happy new year to you as well, I hope it's a good one. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:06, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Return the darft

Hello, dear admin, please return the draft of Maoud Minaei and Jafar Ahmadi. Many thanks Ralon (talk) 03:02, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

(by talk reader) @Ralon: The article was deleted following an AfD discussion and a draft by that name was created by a sock. I assume, then, that you are said ne'er-do-well? Chris Troutman (talk) 03:17, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

According to your instructions, I corrected the sources of Masoud Minaei's page and re-uploaded. Please return the drafts, thank you very much Ralon (talk) 03:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

TPA

You may want to revoke TPA for this one Andre🚐 01:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Eh, we'll see if it keeps up. If they're getting salty on their talk page they're not resetting their phone or modem to get a new IP, or hopping to a new proxy. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Jordan Peterson Page - your deletion

Hi -I saw you deleted the section I added: "Ontario College of Psychologists demands that Peterson submits to mandatory social-media communication retraining: "

Please see my notes on the Talk page there. Please revert your deletion -for the reasons I give there. This issue will surely gain wider attention in coming days /weeks - visitors to the page will expect to see some reference to it at least - even if untidy. You may wish to add a DRAFT statement to the top of the new section, if you wish.CanterburyUK (talk) 23:18, 6 January 2023 (UTC) Many thanks!

I've responded on the talk page. Best to discuss there, so everything is in one place. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:21, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

...

I couldn't respond to your comment, but thank you for your civility. I owe you an apology for being crass. Treynich87 (talk) 00:05, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Treynich87, no worries, it happens. To expand on the templated warnings and such on your talk page misgendering and pronoun shenanigans are common vandalism, and the response to such edits are generally very forceful. There is a strong community consensus around the use of pronouns and other gender identity matters and it's easy to run astray of that if you're not aware. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for the root vegetable!

VindiceLibertas

User:VindiceLibertas has made obviously biased comments to defend Bolsonaro supporters who attacked Brazilian government buildings at Talk:2023 invasion of the Brazilian Congress#Requested move 8 January 2023. Misplaced Pages is allowed to exclude opinions of biased editors, so I hope his comments can be crossed out from the section. Thank you. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 16:04, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

@Roman Reigns Fanboy: While their talk page comments aren't great there, I don't think it rises to the level of blocking further. I suggest you wait until the block expires, and if the behavior doesn't change then you can bring them to WP:ANI to see if there is consensus for action. We also only exclude opinions in the most drastic of situations, and I don't believe they're near the point where they would be blocked simply for ideological viewpoint. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I wasn't asking for increasing the block. Only crossing out their comments. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 16:19, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't see them as disruptive enough to require striking, though as Dumuzid says, reasonable minds may differ. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Asking for your opinion

Hello again, @ScottishFinnishRadish! Could you please take a look at Draft:Happy Death Day (song)? I just wanna ask for your opinion about the said draft. Thank you! - jampol 02:12, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks reasonable, and it looks like someone already moved this to article space. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:27, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

In your copious free time....

Would you mind having a quick look at Talk:The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power? There are some SPAs and IPs kind of forum-ing up the place. Were I a stranger to the page, I would probably be removing stuff, but as I am quite involved, I don't. I am mostly just seeking a temperature check on myself; to be clear, either "this is all fine" or "not great, but nothing to be done" would be completely acceptable answers. If you are too busy, no worries. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 18:55, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I'll take a peek. This'll teach me to work on an article! ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:06, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

There's definitely a lot of repetition and notaforum going on. The first thing that has to happen is people need to stop engaging, because I wouldn't be comfortable removing replies to a quasi-active discussion that good faith contributors are taking part in. In the future, when people create new sections, removing them as duplicate discussion/notaforum is pretty reasonable. I've added the page to my watchlist, so I'll be keeping an eye on it too. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:29, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks; I appreciate the second opinion! Dumuzid (talk) 19:32, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for clearing the massive backlog at UAA. Silikonz💬 18:49, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Not a problem, that's why they pay me the big bucks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:56, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

مهدي جزائري

Hi ScottishFinnishRadish. You blocked مهدي جزائري (talk · contribs) as well their IP 154.121.58.84 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) last week. They returned today as 154.121.60.137 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 17:06, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Blocked. Hopefully there's a reasonably range that shows up after a while for a range block. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:10, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again. :-) Robby.is.on (talk) 17:13, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Not a problem. Let me know if you see them pop up again. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:17, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

It didn't take long: 154.121.59.217 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) Robby.is.on (talk) 22:35, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Blocked. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:38, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I placed a range block for a week. We'll see how that goes. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

LTA is back at it.

Look at 94.133.180.171 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Apparently they are the LTA that has been vandalizing articles about the film "Turning Red". --ARoseWolf 20:09, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
