SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 17

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

The Administrators' noticeboard is intended to be a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention.

To make a request or statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals and sockpuppets at the top of the appropriate section labeled for such reports using, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

For reporting similar and unacceptable usernames, report them here instead of on this page. This is done to keep the reports in one place, and because unacceptable usernames can be more subjective (unlike vandal/spam accounts), which may necessitate discussion (which the linked page will be more suited to handle).

Vandal/Spam account reports
Vandalized Downloadable content (SSBU). —Preceding unsigned comment by Awesomelink234 (talk • contribs) 18:10, May 13, 2020 (EDT)

Inserted false information on. S3AHAWK ( talk ) 18:07, May 12, 2020 (EDT)
 * On another note, it might be a good idea to check if this account is a sock. Seems a little suspicious that its first edit was to very quickly undo an act of vandalism by a troll account.  Alex the  Weeb  18:10, May 12, 2020 (EDT)
 * Why would someone make an account just to undo a vandal edit? ¿¡Unowninator?! (talk) 19:22, May 12, 2020 (EDT)
 * I have seen users do that before. One note is that the supposed sockpuppets was created on April 20th last month (lol 420) whereas this vandal was created today. Still seems suspicious that their first edit was to undo a vandal edit. 001Toad.jpg  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  19:27, May 12, 2020 (EDT)

 * To be quite honest, I feel like the editor was actually trying to help out; it's just that they added something that's, as of right now, speculation (If they added "Electroweb" to literally every other new Pokémon in Ultimate, then I could see this fitting under Vandal/Spam). This would probably fit better under "Edit warring". SmashTurtlesSig1.png SuperSmashTurtles of the  Turtle Tribe SmashTurtlesSig2.png 09:20, May 12, 2020 (EDT)
 * Just realized I also forgot to warn them about speculation too (Also completely forgot Electroweb is an actual move thanks to my noobness for Pokemon. No more multitasking for me.) 001Toad.jpg  OmegαToαd64  •  the Best Kαrter  09:24, May 12, 2020 (EDT)

Doing the same stuff as before.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  01:04, May 11, 2020 (EDT)

Vandalized Sakurai with an image unrelated to Smash, pretty sure it's a joke image not a user image.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  08:26, May 10, 2020 (EDT)

, and. Same guy who keeps adding the "Sakurai lied" trash on Rex's page.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  20:22, May 9, 2020 (EDT)

 * Did it again.--CanvasK (talk) 10:21, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

Several personal attacks. I was going to leave this after my warning but thinking about it more, something like this should get attention from the staff.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  00:23, April 20, 2020 (EDT)
 * I've given them a final warning, since a warning was already posted. If they step out of line again in any way, they will be blocked. Disaster Flare  DisasterFlareSignatureImage.png  (talk)  00:28, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

If this is supposed to be AFD he's late.  OmegαToαd the Toαd Wαrrior   (BUP)  21:06, April 1, 2020 (EDT)

Not vandalism per se, but he was probated and continued uploading user images, among other stuff. I'd just keep an eye on him for now. Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Gamer (talk) 15:15, March 30, 2020 (EDT)

Repeatedly making memes about Stampede! and The Lion King. Now decided to vandalize the page and their talk page.  Omegα Toαd  64  17:28, February 13, 2020 (EST)
 * Judging by the vandalism of their talk page, it also seems like they also insult the people that try to set them straight as "boomers", which is never a good idea to do, especially to the staff.--Tailikku (talk) 10:01, March 11, 2020 (EDT)

Several acts of blatant vandalism, along with some questionable edits removing Japanese from quotes.  Alex the  Weeb  13:16, February 9, 2020 (EST)
 * IP has also made some good faith edits, they might be joking and not knowing what they're doing is wrong. The best would be to warn them first, then if they don't listen, report them. I'll talk to them. 001Toad.jpg  Omegα Toαd  64  23:50, February 9, 2020 (EST)

 * Already blocked. Cookies CnC Signature.png Creme  18:16, May 4, 2020 (EDT)

Not sure if this would be considered circumventing a block since it expired before Gamer600000's block, but this IP is still worsening the grammar in articles and changing British to American spelling in articles (eg behaviour -> behavior )  OmegαToαd64  •  the Best Kαrter  22:37, May 3, 2020 (EDT)

Sockpuppet of.  Nokii  — 19:26, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

Possible sockpuppet of Bfdi1234, because the only mainspace edit this IP made was a seemingly pointless change to something related to VAs, and all of their other edits were attempts to blank the user in question's talk page.  OmegαToαd the Toαd Wαrrior   (BUP)  16:18, April 11, 2020 (EDT)

Edit warring
It's him again.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  08:12, May 13, 2020 (EDT)

User has been warned before about removing content from Pokemon Trainer for seemingly no reason. Judging by their most recent edit to I'm pretty sure they have no desire to listen.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  17:49, May 4, 2020 (EDT)

Despite warnings decided to edit war.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  00:49, April 28, 2020 (EDT)

Edit warring again.  OmegαToαd the Toαd Wαrrior   (BUP)  22:46, April 11, 2020 (EDT)

Same IP that keeps saying Rex being announced after SSBU had finished character planning being the reason for his exclusion was a lie.  OmegαToαd the Toαd Wαrrior   (BUP)  19:37, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

Edit warring on WOL pages and DevinWash97's userpage despite being told to stop.  OmegαToαd the Toαd Wαrrior   (BUP)  21:26, March 29, 2020 (EDT)

Same guy changing “eligible” again, plus edit warring on Sonic’s page. Gizmo (talk) 15:38, February 29, 2020 (EST)

Keeps adding back trivia about Krystal with debatable-at-best notability, despite being told countless times why said trivia was removed and refuses to discuss about it on the talk page. SuperSmashTurtles (talk) 21:55, January 8, 2020 (EST)

has added a "TBA" for a few spirit battle inspirations in List of spirits (Others) multiple times, apparently under the impression that they can leave an "I'll edit this later" on a public page. - Mega Mario Man (talk) 15:59, January 7, 2020 (EST)
 * Best to tell the IP first and then report if they don't listen.  Supα Toαd 64  001Toad.jpg 18:55, January 7, 2020 (EST)

 * Kept adding irrelevant trivia points to the event matches in Brawl and Melee. SonDaniel SonDanielSignatureHead1.pngSonDanielSignatureHead2.png (talk page) 13:34, April 15, 2020 (EDT)

And pretty much all of the IPs in this range, or at least the ones editing the Event matches. Repeatedly making edits that were removed multiple times before despite several warnings. I'm positive that they are all the same person, although it's more likely that the IP address keeps changing rather than sockpuppeting.  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  23:36, April 26, 2020 (EDT)
 * I seriously think we should just permanently autoconfirm-protect those pages, as well as any other that these IPs have a tendency to play with. Black Vulpine  of the Furry Nation.  Furries make the internets go! :3  23:39, April 26, 2020 (EDT)
 * Woah, I think permanent protection on all those pages is a bit extreme as of right now. I'd consider that a "last resort" because there are other options to consider before perma protection. If you ask me a range block would be enough, even still I would allow account creation since it seems that it's only the IPs that keep doing this, and by the looks of it they don't intend to create an account. 001Toad.jpg  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  23:45, April 26, 2020 (EDT)
 * We've used range blocks before, pretty extreme ones even. This has been going on for some time, too. Black Vulpine  of the Furry Nation.  Furries make the internets go! :3  00:03, April 27, 2020 (EDT)
 * I know that, basically all I'm saying is that there are other options to consider other than permanent protection, especially since it appears to be the same person every time. Either way let's not worry too much about it before we end up bloating this section, and instead just let the admins decide what's best. 001Toad.jpg  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  00:09, April 27, 2020 (EDT)
 * This guy has also shown this behaviour on MarioWiki and been range-blocked for it:  Rick  Tommy  00:27, April 27, 2020 (EDT)
 * Doing some digging through revision histories, and it seems possible that this IP has been doing this for nearly 5 years (since June 2015???). The first time I noticed severe edit warring in the same manner is here, and from there this same problem has been happening on that page to this day. The earliest edit I can find that matches the typical behavior of this IP is this, although the range is a bit different. A later edit that was made from an IP within this range is this. In the archive Serena linked to a discussion that shows users were complaining about this problem, and one IP was even permanently range blocked for severe edit warring, yet this IP still hasn't stopped. 001Toad.jpg  OmegαToαd64 •  the Best Kαrter  00:37, April 28, 2020 (EDT)
