This YuiBalle fella

It's quite remarkable. I don't think I've ever seen anyone make as many poor edits in such a short amount of time! I am not convinced they're doing it maliciously, but they certainly seem... incompetent?

Thanks for your work, too, in cleaning up their mess. — tooki (talk) 23:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't want to be the first to say that, but I would tend to agree. It's taken up a solid 45 minutes of my life reverting their various edits, and they don't seemed to have learned from communication. What would you say the next step is?

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 23:11, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just 45 mins? I've spent a few hours (admittedly, with some excursions when I found the article in question interesting!).

I don't know what the right step is. Without evidence of it being vandalism (and I honestly don't see any), a block/ban seems excessive, but this user is also unwittingly doing lots of damage. I'd love to for them to just switch to only making properly-cited edits to facts, but not try and change style, tone, wording, or punctuation of existing text. — tooki (talk) 23:38, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let me ping @Joyous! and @Hey man im josh, also @YuiBalle as per WP:TALKDD. I've had positive interactions with both, and they may be able to help us with some perspective. Pending a reply from either of them, I think we should continue to keep and eye out and revert where necessary, while continuing to WP: Assume Good Faith.

Thanks for your efforts. I do believe this editor is acting in good faith (and indeed a few of their edits areactual improvements), but just lacks the "eye" for it. Let me know if you need me to do anything. — tooki (talk) 17:58, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most accounts never edit. There's no point in reporting an account until they've edited. Secretlondon (talk) 09:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
