A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Thank you for reverting the vandalism to Gay Bathhouse and sending the user a warning. I was Googling how to issue a warning and see you were already on top of it :) OiYoiYoink (talk) 16:56, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

I used the editing assistant Twinkle to place the warning template. They can be placed manually without tools also. WP:UWT has a list of all the various user warning, notice and notification templates there are. :)

Your attempt to normalize Anglocentric anti-Americanism on the music pages

Oh the hypocrisy, projection, and gatekeeping.

For one, you can’t uphold edits that delete or downplay long-standing additions that establish American and other national credit on pages like New Wave music, Progressive rock, Electronic rock, and more, especially when these edits are carried out by IPs and sockpuppet accounts. To then uphold edits and gatekeep pages to maintain British credit on a vast array of music genre pages(many of which it doesn’t deserve to be credited on, if the US is being removed from the New Wave page), is ridiculous. That is OBVIOUSLY biased POV-pushing.

You also can’t possibly accuse others of “anti-British/pro-American POV-pushing” when “anti-American/pro-British POV-pushing” dominates the music pages on Wikipedia. You people uphold deletions of the US from cultural origins of genre pages, even when perpetrated by random IPs. You call any attempt to do the same to the UK “anti-British POV-pushing”. You remove any attempt to source an American perspective on the development of a genre, and yet even pages for music styles that originated in America favor an obnoxiously “Anglocentric” perspective. Any attempt to balance this perspective is met with backlash, bans, and accusations of sockpuppetry, mostly from British users. Any third party individual would recognize the obviously systemic anti-American bias here. Yes, there is an obvious attempt by a network of Wikipedians to appropriate credit for the development of Rock music to Britain, from America. YOU are engaged in anti-American/pro-British POV-pushing. You are not going to make the accusation otherwise again, and we will keep editing until a compromise is met. 24.14.196.245 (talk) 03:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You obviously seem to be another IP sock of User:Dcasey98, given that you restored the edits made by your previous account Christeningchristina on the pages Power pop and Talk:Psychedelic rock, huh? — AP 499D25 (talk) 03:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexeyevitch Yes I have received the mail yesterday, I posted a response at 12:17 am. Has the response shown up? — AP 499D25 (talk) 04:10, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I just read your reply a moment ago. Thanks. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 04:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC) 04:27, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP

Why was the IP User talk:2600:1000:B12E:3D48:3105:663C:7285:2C8F given a 4im warning with only one edit to there name? GrayStorm^{(Talk|Contributions)} 01:07, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GrayStorm If you take a look at the page history of Tom Parker (judge), the edit from that IP comes from the same 2600:1000:B100:0:0:0:0:0/41 range as the other IPs that engaged in much more egregious, persistent unconstructive edits such as this. If you see different IP addresses making unconstructive edits but the first two or three groups of digits are the same, they are likely the same person. I suspected that, hence I issued an "only warning". — AP 499D25 (talk) 01:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, got it. I did not know that about IP addresses. Good to know! Thanks! GrayStorm^{(Talk|Contributions)} 01:14, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

Hello, AP 499D25,

If you add a comment to a closure statement on a noticeboard, please put {{nac}} which will put (non-admin closure) by your name. Thank you! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz I'm already aware of that, but didn't know I needed to also use it when adding comments to closures, rather than just when closing threads. Will definitely do next time, got it! — AP 499D25 (talk) 07:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editor experience invitation

Hi AP 499D25 :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:20, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your warning

Hi, I noticed you recently added a level 4 warning to this IP user, however, it seems that the last time the user made any edits was over a month ago. It seems stale to add a warning this late. I wanted to see if there was any other reason behind this that I otherwise missed. Thanks,Neuropol^Talk 12:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Neuropol Hi, it's a warning in response to the user's attempts to vandalise from today that have rapidly triggered the edit filter, see here. — AP 499D25 (talk) 12:55, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Looks good, thank you. Thanks,Neuropol^Talk 12:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your email

I just wanted to thank you for your email regarding the RD/C troll. That is useful information. Thanks. CodeTalker (talk) 22:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

		The Original Barnstar
		For being very alert regarding the block evasion here. Nice job! JeffSpaceman (talk) 23:22, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

I noticed User:Binksternet had reverted a couple of edits from that IP range citing block evasion of User:Iamthegoat524. Then I had a look at that account to see what its status is and that's when I noticed that there was an open unblock request. — AP 499D25 (talk) 03:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
