The official Wikipedia page for the Golden Spiral is being vandalized by fans of the show JoJo's Bizarre Adventure who purposefully change the name of the inventor of the Golden Spiral from Euclid the greek mathematician to a fictional character in the show known as Gyro Zepelli and this isn't tolerable

Vandalism and missinformation on the articles about argentinian nineteenth century parties

edit

This is about these articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federalist_Party_(Argentina) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarian_Party

The user Vif12vf keeps reverting my edits correcting the misconception that the Unitarian Party is left wing and the Federalist party is right wing. I have provided arguments in my comments on the edits and on my and his talk page but he just erases it.

No argentine historian has ever said that the unitarians were left wing, this is just a stupid childish interpretation. EmpyrosHunyadi (talk) 22:25, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@EmpyrosHunyadi: This is not the page for reporting vandalism – you're looking for Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. This talk page is for discussing that page. Anyway, Vif12vf's edits don't seem to be vandalism. The two of you are having a content dispute, so please use the methods for resolving content disputes. I suggest starting a discussion at Talk:Federalist Party (Argentina) and/or Talk:Unitarian Party. jlwoodwa (talk) 22:46, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sleeper PR/spam accounts

edit

I often come across sleeper PR role accounts while jumping between articles. Those that are used cyclically or only as needed under company's control. For example and go hibernate until there's a change they want to make. How should these sleeper accounts be handled? Sometimes they're accepted. Sometimes they're rejected as "stale" for not having edited for xx days, weeks, months. Asked at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Handling_of_promo_only_role_accounts_in_AIV also.
