IP 208.54.4.237

This user has been IP hopping and editing LGBT Rights in Uganda. User:Cptmrmcmillan alerted me to this, and suggested I keep an eye on my page. If you can, I'd suggest blocking this IP. mathwhiz29 20:21, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

@Mathwhiz 29: Unfortunately, I'm not an administrator. You'll need to ask someone who is or report them to AIV. Cheers. Amaury (talk) 21:12, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

User Vote (X) for Change

It appears as though User:Vote (X) for Change is in overdrive at WP:ANI, Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities & Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language via WP:EVADE. -- GoodDay (talk) 01:23, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

FWIW, I've a tendency to shoot down evading posts, because I faithfully served my (2013-14) site-ban :) GoodDay (talk) 02:11, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Stuck in the Middle (TV series) and K.C. Undercover

I noticed in your reverts here and here that you used WP:OS in your explanation. I clicked on that, and it talks about oversighting, which is a form of revision deletion (like what admins would use to hide offensive summaries or edits, or other sensitive material). Was looking at the reverts in question, and it appears you were identifying original research in the edits you reverted (WP:OR). I didn't want any admins, or oversighters (an elite group that can perform oversighting), to be misled as it doesn't appear to be something that needs to be revision deleted.

@MPFitz1968: Whoops! You are exactly correct. Nothing more than silly typographical errors on my part. Amaury (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

You can make a dummy edit to clarify that. nyuszika7h (talk) 17:03, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

K.C. Undercover

Please don't blindly revert edits like this one without checking. (Also, "rollback" is only meant to be used for things like blatant vandalism, test edits, reverting edits from a banned user/sock. For other cases, it's better to use Twinkle or "undo" and give a short explanation.) The previous link didn't even mention K.C. Undercover at all, it was copied from the Girl Meets World article earlier, and even by the same user who added the table in the first place. VisualEditor messed up the table code formatting a bit when it was added, but I'll fix that. nyuszika7h (talk) 14:17, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Bunk'd

While I do agree with your revert of [1] at Bunk'd, I did find out the two words are synonymous [2]. I also saw you warned the IP for vandalism, but it actually isn't. But it really isn't necessary to replace the word unless there's issues with WP:TONE or something like that. I'm think both words would be understood by the target audience of the show, but again no need to replace, or edit war over, the word. MPFitz1968 (talk) 02:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

@MPFitz1968: Noted. It looked like they were just inserting spam to me. Amaury (talk) 02:49, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Pinging IPs

Just noting that {{ping}} won't work for IPs, so it may be a good idea to leave them a {{Talkback}} on their talk page, as they will get the old yellow-bar notification on the site for talk page messages. nyuszika7h (talk) 08:33, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
