I'm also WP:AWAREofWP:GS/UYGHUR but that doesn't work for the DS/aware template.

I’m not sure they should be editing any China related articles. Doug Weller talk 19:21, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I sincerely don't think they should - but I'm not inclined to take another person to AN/I for WP:CIR when I've already involved in the two oldest disputes that haven't yet been archived there. Simonm223 (talk) 19:58, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t blame you. They are editing at a prodigious rate. Unusual for someone not trying to get 500. Doug Weller talk 20:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is starting to look a lot like WP:RADAR - I'm a bit concerned about their tendency to page-hop and just ignore any comments suggesting they discuss edits. Simonm223 (talk) 13:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So are you asking me to do something? Doug Weller talk 13:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think maybe a warning from an admin might carry more weight at this point - I don't want to give the appearance of stalking a user but these dozens of small edits across multiple pages are looking like a worrying pattern. If I thought they'd actually do it I'd suggest they stop for a moment and go to Wikiproject China to discuss the overall thrust of what they're doing. But I don't have much confidence they'll listen at this point. Simonm223 (talk) 13:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how I would word it, sorry. Doug Weller talk 14:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed decision in the open Venezuelan politics arbitration case has been posted. Comments on the proposed decision may be brought to the attention of the committee at the talk page. For the Arbitration Committee, Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 17:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Springee just responded by telling giving me a contentious topic alert.

Yeah I just realized that telling you personally that, though we both found out about the problem article at the same time, might give fodder to other users to cry canvassing. I always try to operate firmly within Wikipedia rules so thought better of posting for that reason. For obvious reasons I trust you to act with regard to that article as you would have with the information you already had at your disposal and notwithstanding my concerns. :) Simonm223 (talk) 12:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it is not canvassing for two editors to talk openly on a talk page about the sort of egregious ugliness I just saw. It would not even be canvassing to post it at a noticeboard, depending on how it was done. Nor would it be canvassing for you to use the email link that is enabled on my page. I was going to tell you that this looks like they got tired of getting shut down on the main pages and made their own. But. This just became my top priority; I was about to write up the fact that we are using sources stealth funded by the Manning Foundation at Jordan Peterson, but I really need to look into who did this and what happened. Ugh ugh and ugh. 13:07, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
