Yonkers Police Department Page (Again)
Hey sorry to bother again but I am having a bit of a issue. I am attempting to post the Yonkers Police page again which I revamped but it is not letting me stating "Your edit was not saved because it contains a new external link to a site registered on Wikipedia's blacklist or Wikimedia's global blacklist." Is there anyway you can help me out with posting the page again? Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ?????? (talk • contribs) ?? ????? ????, ??:?? (UTC)
- Adding unsigned as this thread had been untouched for a while. I did consider it, but could not find who added it in my search throughout the page's edit history. --WannurSyafiqah74 (talk) 08:34, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Writers' tip
- further reading: wikt:Project:Tea room/2022/September#mot du règne
Just for reference, Doktoro and any Lurkers who might be interested: I understand that the adjective du règne is "Carolian", from "Carolus", as used in the names of various things associated with King Charles I School, for example. Uncle G (talk) 11:29, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
One can of course always rely upon
- "Carolean age dawns as Britain begins long goodbye to the Queen". The Guardian. 2022-09-09.
In fairness, this spelling from The Grauniad is supported by books written by experts in interior design from outwith the United Kingdom.
- Seng Handbook: Furniture Facts: Commemorating Eighty Years of Service to the Furniture Industry, 1874–1954. Chicago: Seng Company. 1954. p. 55.
Carolean: 1660–1688
But "Carolian" is the spelling, in contrast, that has been used for the past 2 centuries by others, from Black's Guide in the 19th century discussing Ashburnham Place, through the aforementioned school (and other schools) named after various Charleses, to recent academic history books. The Carolian Chapel is also a common translation of the Karolinska Gravkoret at Riddarholmen Church.
- Black's Guide to the South-eastern Counties of England: Sussex. Edinburgh: Adam and Charles Black. 1861.
Scarcely less interesting, perhaps, are the Carolian relics; Charles the First's watch, his white silk drawers, the blood-spotted shirt which he wore upon the scaffold […]
- Tresham H. Gilbey (January 1881). "Stage Pictures by Old Painters". Baily's magazine of sports and pastimes. Vol. 36. p. 344.
The object of this paper is to give a stage view of life in London in the time of Charles the Second, as sketched […] It will be readily understood that all the comedies of that period had the Carolian favour; but Etherege possessed the instincts of a gentleman, and touched dangerous matters with a gentle hand.
- "Silent Auction Brings Grateful Carolian Community Together". St. Charles Preparatory School. 2021-12-07.
- ISBN 9781134528592.
Carolian England was ripe for plots at any time and during the first three years of the reign there were a huge number.
Much as we know that furniture is dear to your heart, Doktoro, I think that we should go with the spelling used by the schools and the scholars rather than the one used by The Graduian and the antiques dealers.

CU Goggles
Hello, Drmies,
I have been trying to follow some ongoing vandalism that is being done to the Farnborough Hall article (and a few associated articles), by Kenyon2005 and by some other new registered accounts and some IP accounts. I noticed that similar editing was done by Kalorama20008 earlier this summer and they were blocked by you after issuing some bizarre legal threats. They eventually got globally locked. I don't believe there is an SPI case yet but I'm thinking that Kalorama20008 has spun off into some milder acting sockpuppets who are continuing this crusade on behalf of some convoluted sense of family history involving this house and other people in their family line. I thought I'd approach you since you had blocked Kalorama20008 and ask if you see anything here before I filed a SPI case.
I have protected this article for 3 months so I think it is safe from vandalism but this conduct has also spilled over to other articles. Thanks for any help you can provide in looking into this matter. Liz Read! Talk! 06:47, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hey Liz--I was about to run a check on that IP, but saw, in the CU log, that it's already been done--see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kalorama20008. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:21, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, well, thanks anyway for telling me about the SPI case. I'll go there in the future. This one, if you take time to read all of the content they have posted (hey, I had some free time), is pretty off-the-wall, made-up, pseudo-royalty and rich family tragedy garbage. Why do people love to pretend that they have ancestors who were wealthy or important? It seems to happen a fair bit on this project. Liz Read! Talk! 22:14, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Same reason most who believe they are reincarnated also believe they were, in their past lives, kings, queens and/or mighty warriors. Geoff | Who, me? 22:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- I don't really get it either. It's all so desperate. Drmies (talk) 00:36, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm not able to spend any more time right now looking at this user's contributions, but they seem entirely to consist of cluelessly oververbose references to the scholarly output of one person named Malcolm Tozer, and you and your followers have not only better menu selections, but better vocabulary words for such academic phenomena. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:34, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ha I have followers? I feel like Aeneas! Drmies (talk) 17:22, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oh dear--what a shame, and thanks, User:Bbb23. So, former professional educator and headmaster retires, dedicates time and energy to become a well-published scholar in precisely the right field, then (likely) discovers Wikipedia and goes all out--likely well-intentioned but not in accordance with our rules of behavior. JCThring, there are things you can do here, but there are other things you must do first, and I'll leave a note on your talk page. Drmies (talk) 17:28, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Selected Biography in the Article Neoplatonism.
Hi
I have reverted the removal of the selected bibliography because the citations link via sfn tags to the bibliography making it explicitly clear what book it refers to. Without the selected bibliography, there is no way of telling what book the citation came from. Also, when hovering over the reference to a citation, the cited book is displayed. By moving the entire selected bibliography to another topic means you can not easily determine which book the citation came from.
The bibliography is selected because it only contains translations and 21st century references, no 18th, 19th or 20th century references.
Could you please discuss major modifications to the article on the talk page before making them so you can understand why the Selected bibliography is needed.
Regards Daryl Prasad Darylprasad (talk) 23:09, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- I see. This was not clear, in part because of the unusual formatting. Drmies (talk) 23:25, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- I formatted the Selected bibliography in small font to reduce the length of the article. Darylprasad (talk) 23:34, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- I think there are better ways to reduce the length of the article. For instance, why is there a biography of Proclus right under the link that goes to Proclus's biography? Why is there a biography of Iamblichus when we already have a biography of Iamblichus? Etc. Drmies (talk) 23:40, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Maintenance templates for Neoplatonism Article
Please discuss the addition of templates on the articles talk page before adding them to the Neoplatonism article.
With respect to the questions of:
"The question of This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. (September 2022)"
This has already been discussed in "Length of Article'. Please add your response to that discussion there before adding the template.
"This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience. (September 2022)"
That may be said of a lot of Wikipedia articles, not just this one. For example, articles on mathematical, physics, and other topics. The audience that it is of interest to are people interested in neoplatonism. The detail is needed to explain the philosophical and religious system adequately.
Could editors please reasonably and logically discuss these issues on this talk page before addition of templates which seem to be specifically targeting one article as many articles in Wiki could be said to have the same properties. Darylprasad (talk) 23:23, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
With respect to your comment on addition of the template again:
"no, the templates are as valid as ever"
That comment does not address the comments I have made about the template on the article's talk page. Could you please elaborate.
Regards Daryl Prasad
- No. Please discuss the removal of valid maintenance templates: this is on you. I see that post now, on the talk page--but that talk page is you talking to yourself. There is no consensus that somehow the length of the article is acceptable, and I do not believe that 418,049 bytes is in any way appropriate. What's more, this post of yours should be on the article talk page. That you removed the templates, and then removed the valid warning I placed on your talk page, is indicative of the fact that you do not seem to appreciate the "collaborative" part of our encyclopedia, which is precisely what ]
- There are already two posts on the length of the article on the Article's talk page. Every time I remove a template I start a new section on the article's talk page. My reasons for significant modifications in the article are always discussed on the talk page as you will see that the many topics there (45 to be exact, 22-67) have been started by me and I explain why I have made significant modifications to the article. I think that is what collaboration is about. My talk page is rarely used for collaboratively discussing an article's significant changes.Darylprasad (talk) 23:43, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, you just put another post there that basically said "it's not too long." That's not collaborating: that's you claiming you know what's best for the article. Ownership. Your own talk page is where other editors go to discuss your behavior, and that is exactly where you remove posts that discuss your behavior, without responding to them. And seriously, you must made almost a dozen edits to my talk page. You'd be pissed if I just rolled them back without even acknowledging them. Drmies (talk) 23:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Aha--so you did exactly the same thing on Proclus, and I remember seeing how ridiculously long that article is. I guess it was User:Epinoia who put the "too long" tag there in January, which you promptly removed, without consensus? And it seems that User:Aza24 had similar comments, on the talk page, which you didn't do anything with. By the way, I don't care how long 2021 in American television is; that's not the topic of discussion. At 357,229 bytes, Proclus is a monster. I mean, there's 25 footnotes before the first sentence is even over. You can't do all those notes for the dates in one single footnote? [edit conflict: I don't know what "not displaying the text" means. And please respect the asterisk; if you don't, I don't need to extend you other courtesies.] Wow. The first sentence of Plotinus has 32 footnotes. Drmies (talk) 00:12, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- It is the first time I have come across an asterisk. I am used to semi-colons. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LongPages for more examples to lengthy articles. Why isn't there a template on Presidency of Donald Trump [497,540 bytes] or COVID-19 pandemic in Kuwait [574,553 bytes] to name two. Proclus and neoplatonism have been around for 1600 years and there is vastly more scholarship material on them. The articles provide a summary of that vast amount of scholarship. The reasons for the number of sfns is to give the reader a wide range of scholarship that supports the statement. Certain facts about Proclus and neoplatonism are different depending on the century or years within a century of scholarship. The sfns also provide readers with information as to what scholars thought and when those thought were published. This adds significantly to the reliability of the article and adds significant depth to the article. Readers can then easily see the leading scholars who support a particular fact or opinion.Darylprasad (talk) 00:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- @other stuff exists" * Pppery * it has begun... 00:46, 14 September 2022 (UTC)]
- @Pppery:, thank you. I think we ran into each other recently but I forgot where--sorry. Yes, Daryl: our articles need not/should not be comprehensive. And in the section above I actually gave examples of what is excessive, and where. Biographies and footnotes. Those 32 footnotes in the opening sentence of Plotinus also make that lead unreadable; there is a very good reason we do not need to cite in the lead. You have to think about the reader. Shit, there's 45 footnotes for the lead. Drmies (talk) 00:54, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Probably Bibliography of Neoplatonism back to Neoplatonism#Reference bibliography now that the purpose of that section has been clarified? * Pppery * it has begun... 01:01, 14 September 2022 (UTC)]
- Yeah, I guess. I actually thought we could do something useful with that. The whole setup of that bibliography (look at the paragraph I trimmed in the main article) made no sense at all, and I was led astray in part because of the "Selected" bit, which is inappropriate if it's the bibliography for the article. So after the editor explained, I thought about redirecting, but if that bibliography is so "selective" that it has only sources from the last two decades (which is not a bad thing, not at all), one could make a complete bibliography, and that might be a valuable thing. But I'm not sure the editor is willing to consider that, or has thought about it themselves. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Drmies: your language is offensive. You have been muted by me.
- Probably

I'm just sayin...
Just a heads-up that your wholy appropriate warning here was followed-up with this ("wikipedia [is] a pointless place where people with nothing more important to do pretend they know more than they do.") And this ("All this brilliance being wasted on the comments section on Wikipedia.") And this ("It's hard to assume "good faith" when it is clear they have none.") And this ("I received your uninformed POV"). And this ("I do appreciate all the time you guys spent explaining your, cough, cough, "logic.") And this ("Get a grip, pal.")
I tried to help them here, apparently with no success. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 02:42, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

IP sock
Hi Drmies, hope you're doing well. An IP user 212.174.38.3 (talk · contribs · logs · block log) was blocked as a sockpuppet of Alexyflemming, who is still evading their block, see contributions. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 14:11, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ha, I'm on the Greek team! I had no idea. Well, you reverted them. If they get disruptive again, we'll block. But I had nothing to do with the SPI, BTW. Drmies (talk) 17:19, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- lol I haven't even seen that. Yeah I think misread the log, other admins blocked for evasion your block wasn't related to the SPI. Thanks for clarifying. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 17:26, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
September music
This rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and that day in 2022 was full of music, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto (my brother played in the orchestra), and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:58, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Today, we sang old music for two choirs at church, pictured, scroll to the image of the organ of the month of the Diocese of Limburg (my perspective), and if you have time, watch the video about it --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:00, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
... and today I wrote an article about music premiered today,
New sock?
Regarding Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sunshine773, see these IP edits. I only noticed it because the editor touched Don't Worry Darling, and all of their edits are today and tend to be as well-written out and relatively knowledgeable as the two user accounts. Not to mention the fact that they went from editing older movies to the only new one. Thoughts? I'll make your gin and tonic a double? Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:43, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- No--that is, the technical evidence doesn't support it. Hey, I think that's another gin and tonic! Drmies (talk) 21:15, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
Clarification
I saw you tagged
- User:ONUnicorn, I also spent a good bit of time on it. First of all, Google searches for any "Mark Mills" with words related to that profession delivered nothing to me, and likewise with his name combined with "Marquise Attavanti" or "The Worst Woman" and other names. Worse, the supposed quotes in the article, they do not show up in Google whatsoever, and those should be available on Google since there's no copyright on them and they are "regular" 19th-century periodicals. So yeah, I think the whole thing is made up. Drmies (talk) 20:59, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

New IP
Hy , hope you are well, can you please protect the Kosovo Serbs page, it has been a subject of this ip vandalism [[1]] who changed information from the source, source is open access pg 97. [[2]] with information according to the article, but the ip keeps on replacing 150000 figure with "a number". Thank you. Theonewithreason (talk) 16:19, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi--well, I can't see the page, but I'll take your word for it, and I've reverted another of the IP's edits. But I am not going to semi-protect an article because of three edits, all of which have been reverted; I see nothing in the history that warrants that. Actually I'm surprised at how little the article has been fucked around with, given BALKAN and all that. You warned the IP editor: if they keep it up I'll be happy to block them. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 16:23, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

- The mysteries of Google Books will not be unearthed until the stars fall from the sky. Plus, your link was for "hrvatski" and I'm here firmly in "en" territory; I have seen this before, where Google Books links from one language/country don't work in another.

Thank your for your kind advices.
I will apply them. I recognise I've made mistakes such as using the edit reasons for writing long texts. I will improve myself as an Wiki editor and I won't edit again as an unregistered user without this account. Thank you! Navarran94 (talk) 17:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Good luck, and thanks. Drmies (talk) 19:54, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- I have never seen an IP with so much crap on them and so much evidence against them being spared. You know how User:Asilah1981 operated and have an experience how these kinds of accounts work. The case for Sockpuppeting is more than clear, despite the subtle evading technics. The editor above is obviously not new in the ENWP, and has not provided any explanations on that.
I can only foresee more toxic activity by the account above. He has populated Juan Sebastián Elcano with my name and that of another user associating us to a ideological profile. Do walls and noise pay off? Sadly, it looks like it does. Iñaki LL (talk) 05:33, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Iñaki LL, by all means start an SPI if you think there were other accounts before. That's all I can say right now--sorry. Drmies (talk) 14:25, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- "With so much crap on them" @WP:NPAagainst me? This user is shameless and doesn't know the meaning of that word it seems.
- Now he even accuses me of being another user, of course @Iñaki LL: you have a strong ideological profile that determines your edits, it's proven in your edits, the way you break WP:WALLS and WP:NPA against me, with his extreme hatred against my persona, to the point of arriving to a WikiAdmin's Talk Page where I said thanks for the advices and you insult me "so much crap on you" you should be ashamed of your hooligan-style behavior.
- Wikipedia is not your personal blog and it has to remain unbiased. The fact that you didn't revert the actions of a WP:SPA that changed the stable lead in that page indicates it might be your sockpuppet, I'm open for any SPA as I have never used any other account, if you are obsessed with another user is your problem, not mine, but what I won't tolerate is you to come here to insult me. Shame on you.
- Sorry @Drmies: for this. This is the last time I will tolerate this. I have been receiving constant and repeated personal attacks from this user against myself, constant and repeat claims saying I'm someone else, and I'm tired, next time he goes directly to the administrator's noticeboard because I am tired to see attacks, insults and accusations against myself.

- I have never seen an IP with so much crap on them and so much evidence against them being spared. You know how User:Asilah1981 operated and have an experience how these kinds of accounts work. The case for Sockpuppeting is more than clear, despite the subtle evading technics. The editor above is obviously not new in the ENWP, and has not provided any explanations on that.
- Surrealistic. Again a textwall for an account that has only contributed noise and rage to the ENWP. Outside goals in Spain and pressure on admins, just take a look at the names. Only hope that noise does not pay off. Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 12:55, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Navarran, if you take something like that to a noticeboard, you should expect a boomerang. Drmies (talk) 15:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Please, note that he is again reverting the edits even when the lead is being discussed. The misrepresentation of sources is even more clear when he claims that the maximum authority in Basque language is "some kind of association". If we allow everything, then I don't know why we have discussions and rules. Theklan (talk) 17:28, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Okay I understand, I've just said that to prove until which point I can I arrive to prove I'm not any other account like that user says. Now both came here when I've just made this to thank you for your advices.
- I've also received another personal attack and false accusations (check Elcano's talk page) these users are desperate to get me banned. But I won't fall in that game. And yes, the Basque Language Academy is an academy, not an association, my bad, now Theklan sticks to that (both here and in the talk page) to say my edits are not valid.
- I don't understand why they come here. They still try to get me banned after 2 ANIs. Personal attacks against me are still present. I say thanks to an admin and they come here to accuse me. I think now they try to force me to leave Wikipedia, I feel harassed. I'm sorry but this is not right. Navarran94 (talk) 19:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- I just reverted you on a minor thing: please see Spanish people"--but that's kind of silly, given the link I just gave you. Or you could ask "should we add 'currently in Spain'", which I think will be met with an overwhelming "what's it matter". I'm telling you this from experience. But you are welcome to try. However, if it is not phrased neutrally, it will very likely be shut down and only lead to more disputes. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 19:50, 20 September 2022 (UTC)]
- Thank you Drmies, well the first thing is only by these 2 specific users and their words against me, but it seems both have changed their mind and they engage in the talk page without making accusations so I am glad of that. That's a start to solve a dispute.
- And yes I am eager to find a consensus as well but unfortunately there is still no consensus in there (I hope it will be one soon) I support the proposal of another user, it would be the most factually accurate lead, either that or the actual one which is practically the same as it was before the SPA changed it to just Basque, something the sources mention but don't support as most mention Spanish too and more say just Spanish than even mentioning Basque... but I am okay with keeping Basque as well.
- I didn't know the overlink thing and I am ok with that, I won't add it again since now I know what it means. I really appreciate your advices and I will apply them, they are very helpful for my future edits in the Wikipedia. If I do something wrong please tell me and I will improve it. Thank you!

What are the odds
That those same talking heads that discounted Bama's one point win will scream unnecessary run up of the score today. Asking for a friend. Tiderolls 23:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hmm tell your friend (who likely plays golf) that that's par for the course. I made a rude joke in response to a rude joke by a Georgia troll on an Alabama Insta page. Georgia is just absolutely overwhelming this year, but talking trash never improved anything or anyone. Alabama might have scored 60+ points in the first quarter but I was grading and forgot to check when the game started. OMG, I just saw the finish of the Troy game. Ouch. Drmies (talk) 23:34, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

- App State should be paying ranked teams to play them! I remember that day. If I was Troy, I would not have played them! --Kansas Bear (talk) 01:58, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, me too--but didn't Troy beat some giant too a few years ago? LSU? Haha years ago there was a proposal to change something curriculum-wise on our campus, and it was perceived to water down our excellence (yeah), and one of my colleagues said "No! We're not Troy!" (We have a Troy campus in town.) Then, I thought yeah, we're not. Now, I feel different. Drmies (talk) 14:28, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Article hijacking
What the heck is going on with all these articles related to "chandler" being hijacked into articles about a completely unrelated person? Is there something in the water/news lately that I've missed? Taking Out The Trash (talk) 00:42, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know, but it's an LTA, and the less you do the better. Seriously. Drmies (talk) 00:42, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- I suspect you've wandered into the morass regarding online forum Kiwi Farms. My apologies. Dumuzid (talk) 01:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- You know more than me! Please, enlighten me. As far as I'm concerned I'm dealing with an
inceltroll who needs a hobby--for the second or third time in a couple of days.- Kiwi Farms began as a forum dedicated to harassing and making fun of someone they know as Chris Chan, whose last name is Chandler. This person has repeatedly been suggested as an article subject and/or for inclusion in the Kiwi Farms article, and rightfully, to my mind, has been roundly rejected as a form of victimization. It seems the denizens of the forum are branching out in their quest to continue victimizing this person in particular. I'm sorry I had to impart that information, and even sorrier I knew it in the first place. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 01:22, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Not just kiwifarms, any place where shitbags congregate. 4chan and others I won't mention, as to avoid promoting them. The level of harassment is one of the worst things about the Internet, and that's obviously saying a lot. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:26, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Am I the prude?
Really, I'm not a prude, although I think we handle sex related articles best following the path of least astonishment. An editor, Leesjy2k, seems to be on a mission to do the exact opposite. I reverted one addition that was pretty obvious, on Doggy style, then took a look at his contribs, which all seem to focus on adding the most graphic photos he can find to articles. To me, this seems like a problem, but wanted an outside opinion from you and/or your stalkers. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 16:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- I think that the picture doesn't add anything educational to the article. The illustration provides the necessary visual context, and the other images provide historical context in art. Seems somewhat disruptive to add those images just to wave around notcensored. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:26, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Prudishness aside, the image was a very poor illustration, compatible with a wide variety of sexual positions. There are many good reasons to have reverted. JBL (talk) 17:08, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- I am clearly not needed here, but want to chime in to say I think we're capable of walking a line between prudishness and prurient middle school sensibilities--so yeah. Very much in agreement. Cheers, all. Dumuzid (talk) 17:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- If it was me, I'd leave it in. The 2 top pics together give a pretty clear illustration. If you look at Doggy style you shouldn't be amazed to see this... Johnbod (talk) 17:14, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

I reverted a couple of them. I think it's all way too much. One of the images was a diagram that I'm fine with but the others, no so much. Drmies (talk) 17:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
So the user went on to do more, here (reverted by AndyTheGrump, and in Urination, which I just reverted. User talk:Leesjy2k, we are well into disruptive territory here. User:Dennis Brown, User:ScottishFinnishRadish, User:JayBeeEll, User:Dumuzid, User:Johnbod, User:Deepfriedokra, this is really fetishistic editing. I'm wondering if, if the user doesn't respond and if they continue, if we shouldn't get a topic ban, via AN/ANI. Drmies (talk) 19:59, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Didn't want to bring this up, but you said the magic word (fetishistic), so you win a prize. Could this be User:Male Masturbation? When you see the user page, you will understand. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:07, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- No, that's not the one, and I know because I just ran CU on the Leesjy2k account, thinking they might have been hijacked--look at the editing pattern. Ponyo, are you still active? I think CU suggests that the last batch of edits may suggest evidence of a hijacking. In the meantime, I am going to block the account until we figure this out. Drmies (talk) 20:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- When I saw the topic when you pinged me I thought maybe I was going to be asked to give my opinion on the doggy style image. But no, it's a Plain Jane CU check. I'll grab my magic 8-ball and some pixie dust. Hang tight.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

I have no problem with nudity, I was born that way myself ;) But JayBeeEll, I was thinking the same thing, that image could have been one of many positions, being so close in. The nudity has to serve a purpose and be the "least astonishing" way we have available to visually represent the topic in a fair and thorough way.

- Sure, AndyTheGrump, and I reverted some--but given that my hijacking block may be wrong, it's probably best to give an actual explanation instead of saying "hijacked user". I was fine with one or two, but hijacked or not, I do not have that much good faith here for that user. Drmies (talk) 20:48, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- I reverted him on Creampie (sexual act) where he basically took a few edits to add an entire gallery of post-coitus closeups, very, very unnecessary. Similar to NudistPhotographer, I don't think they are here to build an encyclopedia. When there is zero encyclopedic value for many edits (or even having them at Commons...but I digress), that is nothere. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 20:53, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
I think I just set a record for vulva removal: 511 in two edits. Drmies (talk) 20:54, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- I left a note on the users talk page. If the CU block doesn't hold up, I'm willing to block for WP:NOTHERE. They have had some problems with sources/OR/etc in the past, but nothing like this. Still, and indef is due, to be lifted with some restrictions if it comes to that. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- At Sexual intercourse we now have (after reverts), several ye olde pornography images, & other drawings, but no photos showing the subject (with humans). That doesn't seem good to me. Johnbod (talk) 01:35, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Well, we have houseflies, and I've always wondered who it was who loves Avril so much. Hey, have at it! It does need a few decent images. But did you see this? Scroll down for the full effect. Drmies (talk) 03:03, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, there are rather a lot, but I think the degree of minor anatomical variation is a very important thing for this article to cover, & photos are the only way. The article was already (rightly) committed to having lots of photos, offering a very stark contrast to Sexual intercourse as it now is. I know which I think is more encyclopaedic.
