Handy tip: If reusing content from one Wikipedia page on another, you can credit the original authors with the following edit summary: copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution

I saw the warring on Afro-Jamaicans, maybe take it to Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring? FifthFive (talk) 17:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I think I will. It's a bit...extreme. There is a similar pattern of editing multiple pages that seems to be pushing an agenda. Lewisguile (talk) 18:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been addressed. The user has been blocked for 24 hours. If you want to revert back to last stable version again, there shouldn't be any problems now. I'm trying to avoid WP:3RR, so will refrain from doing this myself for now. Lewisguile (talk) 08:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and reverted Afro-Jamaicans. I may have gone back too far - maybe cherry pick some changes to restore some of the content. If they come back after their block, a case could definitely be made for WP:SPA. There are some other articles they've edited like Coromantee which show they've been doing this sort of thing for months on different IPs. FifthFive (talk) 16:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. I've rolled Coromantee back to 18 August, which seems to revert the least amount of text while avoiding the WP:TE issue. I'll go through the interim edits to see if there's anything worth salvaging, and I'll do the same with Afro-Jamaicans, too. Lewisguile (talk) 16:39, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FifthFive So far, the affected pages I've found so far (there are probably Afro-Jamaicans, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Coromantee, Mixed-race Caymanians, Tacky's Rebellion, Turks and Caicos Creole, and Turks & Caicos. Since this user only has a 24-hour block and may be using alternate IPs anyway, this may be an issue that needs to be looked at again once they return.

I've updated the ANI and the admin who responded, but watch out for a slew of reversions when they come back tomorrow AM. Lewisguile (talk) 18:33, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend you get the book Contested Frontiers by Asher Kaufman, which has a lot on Ghajar and similar issues. It is available on the internet here: [2] . Zero^talk 14:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll check it! I was literally just editing a section on Kaufman on the Ghajar page! Lewisguile (talk) 15:09, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
