More 2025 Annunciation Catholic Church shooting

[edit]

Thank you for the deleting of the copyvio content that was added by another user, but I think I also ended up refactoring it out of the article entirely. It looks like that IP user is trying to bloat the perpetrator section with excessive details. I have issued two warnings that they appear to be ignoring. But looking back with some of the other disruptive editors, I'm wondering if a short day semi-protect is in order to limit this sort of disruption from this and other editors?

The edits are in good faith. I recognise that it's been less than 24 hours since the protection expired, but I'd still like to see either malicious vandalism or a longer pattern of disruptive edits prior to protecting it again. In the meantime I've left the IP a note about plagiarism. DatGuyTalkContribs 18:44, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I actually think it is likely User talk:2600:1702:5225:C010:D01B:C5DE:4DCD:9E72 -- who was having similar problems adding this sort of content leading up to the last page protection. Although it looks like they said they give-up after a warning from another editor [1]. TiggerJay (talk) 19:01, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I missed that, which is putting my good-faith assumption in doubt. I'll keep an eye on them and if they make a similar edit I'll block them. They've had enough warnings. DatGuyTalkContribs 19:39, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They promised to stop, although overly contrite about it. I'm willing to (AGF) give them the benefit of the doubt and attempted to redirect them to uncontroversial topics for them to contribute to. But will also keep my eye on it. Thanks for the assist. TiggerJay (talk) 19:42, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Minorax: I'm a bit confused why you uploaded a new file instead of overwriting the previous revision. DatGuyTalkContribs 05:13, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Your file is a JPG, the one I uploaded (to remove the white background) is a PNG. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 05:14, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

On this here -- [2] -- you may want to go longer, at least until someone (invariably) makes the actual article and then it spins off to the also inevitable AfD. — Very Polite Person (talk/contribs) 15:05, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I set it to 12h because that was the time the protection on the Killing Of article would be expire, but that's been upgraded down. Regardless, I hope that by the time it expires there's a consensus about naming the suspect, and if not can always protect it again. DatGuyTalkContribs 15:13, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
