Axe grinding
Hiya I'm in a weird slow edit war with Levithe gd at Squatting in Zimbabwe, where they are deleting referenced info and not engaging on the talkpage. Checking their edits they seem to have an axe or perhaps multiple axes to grind, and over at Sena language they have replaced the article with a strange genetic history. I see you protected the page back in August, but they've done it again since. What's a good move forwards? Could you perhaps article ban Levithe gd from editing those two pages, if you think that's a good idea? It's not particularly urgent, it's just a bit frustrating to deal with an editor who doesn't want to collaborate. Cheers! Mujinga (talk) 10:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Mujinga for disputes between only two editors, you can request a WP:3O. For edit warring, you can post at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, but if you are engaged in the same reverting pattern, you could be blocked as well. Article bans are typically discussed at WP:ANI, which can also have a boomerang outcome, where you get article banned as well. So, I would suggest starting with WP:3O and see if that helps. After that, I would try posting on the talk pages of the various Wikiprojects associated with the articles. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 21:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Wow, what a bizarre answer to suggest 3O with an editor who doesn't respond and whose edits you already termed "persistent disruptive editing". Thanks for the laugh though and happy editing. Mujinga (talk) 17:11, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- I see, you were really just asking for a block outside of the normal process. Good luck with that. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:15, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Nope I was asking you to take an interest in a page which you had already protected which is still being vandalised. See Talk:Sena_language#This_article_needs_drastic_replacement. But I get it, you're very busy Mujinga (talk) 17:18, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- All of my advice still stands, no matter how funny you think it is. Getting a topic ban from ANI is a process, and the first step is showing that you are trying other avenues. Trying to quickly without seeking opinions through 3O and Wikiproject pages usually results in a boomerang. But, I am sure you already know this, which is why you have already posted at WP:WikiProject Languages and WP:WikiProject Africa and contacted User:Harsimaja directly.

UK Rail service boxes
Hi, thanks for your edits to these boxes. As standard practice, please could you make sure that - if you do edit one - that (if it isn't already) it is moved to the section entitled "Services", rather than being in the External Links section. Thanks again. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 15:08, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, if there is such a section, I will try to do that. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:09, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Is increasing WP:MASSMOVE beyond 100 at a time feasible?
In this discussion, we are in talks about moving 1600+ pages. Can the code, provided for page movers and admins, be increased so it moves more than 100 pages with one click, without redirects? Qwerty284651 (talk) 22:25, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Qwerty284651, I wasn't aware there was a 100 page limit. If I recall, the script iterates over the list, rather than requesting the entire batch to be moved at once. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Plastikspork, per WP:MASSMOVE there is. What do you mean by "the script reiterates over the list." Qwerty284651 (talk) 00:48, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Qwerty284651, I said that the script iterates over the list, not reiterates. If you read the code in User:Plastikspork/massmove.js you will see a for loop around line 85. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 04:12, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
