Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, ShermanDuArthur! Thank you for your contributions. I am CyberWarfare and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! --CyberWarfare (talk) 23:35, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Added note

In the case an editor leaves a note on your talk page that was done in bad faith, its vandalism. I noticed the vandalism done on your page, and it did upset me, check out the vandalism policy and some other links there. If it happens again simply revert and ignore (: --CyberWarfare (talk) 23:38, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. Vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated.

Request reason:

Well, I'm honestly very surprised that someone really thought I'm vandalizing when I'm actually removing vandalism. Has anyone seen how the article List of Katie and Orbie episodes looks right now? The article, as well as its parent Katie and Orbie have been targeted since 2015 by someone who keeps changing character and episode descriptions by adding poorly and plagiarized machine-translated text claiming to do it for fun. The person then reports me to AIAV and I'm the one getting blocked? This is a mistake, I've known this site and its rules for many years, and have never vandalized or blanked a single article, I'm just removing the unfunny garbage this individual adds to the aforementioned articles. Please remove my block. ShermanDuArthur (talk) 07:16, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Accept reason:

The block was clearly incorrect, so I have unblocked (with an appropriate message in your block log). Thank you for cleaning up that article. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:18, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

• I have also put Katie and Orbie and List of Katie and Orbie episodes on my watchlist (and I've semi-protected the latter for a brief period), and I'll deal with the problematic IP editor if they continue with this nonsense. If you see anything similar at any other articles, please feel free to let me know on my talk page and I'll deal with it. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:23, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Apologies for the mistaken block. I should've looked more closely at the edit history of the article rather than just your edits. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:07, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Have a nice day. ShermanDuArthur (talk) 17:30, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Katie and Orbie

Hey, I saw what that IP did to you not long ago when you were cleaning his dirty work at the aforementioned article. At this point, given that I do not know if that IP user has access to a user account, I'm going to go ahead and put a request for temporal protection to see if that vandal will forget about it. If that does not work, then it is my own opinion that the article may have to be indefinitely protected fully.--Loyalmoonie (talk) 20:18, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Final Warning

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Katie and Orbie. Favonian (talk)22:32, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

This was actually added by . I'm not vandalizing anything. Also, stop impersonating administrators and leaving false warnings on my page, dear K&O vandal. Good night. ShermanDuArthur (talk) 04:10, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Noted. I just blocked the same user under another IP for making a false report at AIV. You seem to be making enemies in all the right places. If there is anymore of this nonsense, kindly ping me. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:28, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Sure. Thank you too. ShermanDuArthur (talk) 03:47, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

@Ad Orientem It looks like there is another false AIV Report by Special:Contributions/2600:387:15:181A:0:0:0:5 Untamed1910 (talk) 22:20, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

@Untamed1910 IP blocked x 3 months. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:32, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Just so all of you know, that IP became so persistent recently that I successfully requested that the aforementioned article remain protected for the next year. Hopefully, that quenches that vandal's persistent disruptions, but if whoever that IP is should try that nonsense again next year, we'll have to take further measures.--Loyalmoonie (talk) 03:02, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, Loyalmoonie. Likely the same person is also editing my above comment to say you added the false warning. ShermanDuArthur (talk) 22:20, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

I see that. If worse comes to worse, you might need to request a temporary protection on your talk page to keep that vandal out. I'd suggest semi-protection so only Wikipedia users can edit your talk page.Loyalmoonie (talk) 02:02, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

My apologies for bothering your page again, but that IP, I noticed, is stirring up trouble again on your page. It seems you might need to take some more expedited measures to protect your page from this vandal...--Loyalmoonie (talk) 19:55, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

• The IP was causing more trouble once again, so your talk page is currently semi-protected until April to stop that user from causing further harm.--Loyalmoonie (talk) 19:48, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

Again, thank you. I honestly don't know what that person's obsession with me is about just because I reverted their vandalism. Oh well, like Greg from Over the Garden Wall would say, ain't that just the way? Happy holidays in advance. ShermanDuArthur (talk) 06:10, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

Another smear by the vandal

Are you aware that the IP created a fake Katie and Orbie page with his vandalism, and put your name attached to it?

Here: User talk:ShermanDuArthur/Katie and Orbie Loyalmoonie (talk) 19:29, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, have marked the page for deletion and will ask for its protection to avoid recreating. ShermanDuArthur (talk) 00:42, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately, he's at it again with another attack page.

User talk:ShermanDuArthur/version 2

I insist you will need to confer with an admin who knows how to install an edit filter to prevent that IP from vandalizing your talk page here, or Katie and Orbie or recreating his fake pages. There needs to be a permanent stop to that IP... Loyalmoonie (talk) 03:01, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

The attack page was removed, but that IP made yet another rather quickly. I've informed Ad Orientem about this.--Loyalmoonie (talk) 04:47, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Page deleted and salted. TA indeffed and underlying IP range blocked x 1 year. Unfortunately this is likely going to just slow them down. I recommend that you post a note at WP:AN and request assistance from an admin who is experienced with edit filters. At this point that is probably the only effective solution. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:55, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Sounds good. Loyalmoonie (talk) 04:58, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

@ShermanDuArthur An edit filter has been set up by admin zzuuzz. If you need to create a sub page within your user space you may need to contact someone with advanced user rights to create or move a draft into your user space. If harassment on your talk page resumes once the current protection expires, just contact any admin and it can be extended, if necessary indefinitely. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:52, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

@Ad Orientem and @ShermanDuArthur, User talk:ShermanDuArthur/version b fyi tony 01:03, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

@Zzuuzz looks like our little pest has managed to penetrate the edit filter. Sigh... -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:21, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

That page was created shortly before I prohibited it. Wouldn't retroactive rules be handy? Nothing new should be happening. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 05:57, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and attention, have a wonderful day! ShermanDuArthur (talk) 20:06, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
