Happy New Year to you, too :) --Joy (talk)10:33, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to let you know, I think the disruptive editor previously active (and now rangeblocked) on216.174.64.0/18(talk ·contribs ·IP contribs ·WHOIS) and216.8.128.0/18(talk ·contribs ·IP contribs ·WHOIS) is active again.

I think this is the same person on2001:1970:49DE:8C00:48E7:6C3E:B350:4F18(talk ·contribs ·IP contribs ·WHOIS)

Can you handle this in any way? Thanks in advance!Aleksamil (talk)01:27, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Aleksamil aha, that last address was active in September, so it's stale by now. I see they're all rejected already. And I see you seem to have rewrittenDimitrije Najdanović. Did they add any copyright violations or tendentious edits in those drafts? I found one draft they blanked (Stefan Simic (scientist)), so I deleted that one now.

In the meantime, the temporary accounts were introduced, and I actually noticed the same editor again on one of those and blocked them after I found another fake translation, cf.User talk:~2025-42551-31. --Joy (talk)08:56, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Joy Take a look at a wider range for the IP I just sent, you'll notice the editor was active throughout 2025.

As for the Najdanović article, yes, you can take a look at the previous version particularly the subsection titled "Postscript". It's original research to put it mildly, what it really was is a short hagiographic essay. I haven't noticed copyright violations, the main issue I see is that Najdanović's prewar activities inZbor and WW2 participation in the collaborationist government were glossed over, while various tidbits and details from the man's life were given undue weight.Aleksamil (talk)09:22, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Can you bring this up atWP:ANI please (and ping me from there)? Pondering another range block, esp. with IPv6 addresses which might impact even more unrelated editors, should be discussed in a wider forum. --Joy (talk)10:46, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, done.Aleksamil (talk)15:26, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Mariamnei I had just made the original redirect, someone else actually expanded it, please inform them instead. --Joy (talk)13:44, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing that out to me. Unfortunately, it seems like the system sometimes sends the comments to the first editor in the history of the page. I will send to them as well. Thanks and have a great day!Mariamnei (talk)08:14, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Could you please explain to me how an article with 12 references about the biggest scandal in the history of Macedonian pop music is not ready for publishing. Do you please mind taking the conversation to the talk page first before drafting an article.Zagrebite (talk)09:14, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned in the draftification messages, those two articles both had substantial amounts of promotional tone inappropriate for the encyclopedia, and one of them lacked sufficient references. --Joy (talk)09:53, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

All right. Thank you for the clarification.Zagrebite (talk)09:55, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
