Vandalism

Hi @Joyous! I would like to thank you for your recent support in attempting to stop vandalism to the Rother Radio page. I have seen that users have had accounts blocked due to repeated vandalism, however new accounts keep being created and it's being attacked every day. Is there anything we can do? Thank you. Mister C 2024 (talk) 22:37, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, someone seems to be a little obsessed. If it continues much longer, I can lock the page for a while. Joyous! Noise! 23:02, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. Mister C 2024 (talk) 23:06, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you've gotten help from some other admins. Sorry I wasn't around. This is the one day of the week when I have other obligations all day long. When I noticed that the events were unspooling at WP:ANI, I was covered in unmentionable opossum... "debris". (I volunteer at a wildlife rehab. Rewarding, but messy.) Joyous!

Hi, no don't apologise at all. It just started getting a bit much and I needed some assistance as wasn't sure what to do. But I've had some really helpful people today who have helped, provided assistance and given some good knowledge on how to proceed should it happen again and not be too hasty and keep reverting changes. It can be difficult at times to step back and assess the situation sometimes as we are human, but it's a learning curve! Thanks for everything and great to hear about your volunteering at a wildlife rehab. I've been involved with Wildlife too and it always fascinates me!

@Joyous!

I made the latest edit, I can confirm I am not linked to the previous vandalism, nor am I trying to vandalise.

I believe the referenced information is not linked to Rother radio. If either of you want to discuss further please write on my talk page. If I don’t hear from you I will be reverting back to my previous edit. Thanks Chipshopcurry (talk) 06:11, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Writing talk messages telling me to "behave" is not very constructive. Especially from a new account that has constantly targeted the page since being created yesterday. Mister C 2024 (talk) 16:46, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Help at iPhone 14

Hi @Joyous!, thanks for you counter vandalism help. Would it be possible to get page protection on iPhone 14 to deal with the sock puppet problem going on there? Lenny Marks (talk) 23:48, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joy!

It's great to see your name in recent changes. It's powerful enough to add a delighting impression around someone having an unusual complicated day! ‎ ‎ B⠄Jayden ^(talk) 03:07, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad I could somehow make your day better. Joyous! Noise! 03:19, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
