Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring and sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Well, it seems that my situation is hopless. The block will never be lifted anyway, so I have no other option than shut down my Wikipedia account since I'm gilty of abusing multiple accounts and IP adresses for disruptive editing and I'm incapable of proving my innocence. Thank you for your patience. Jopsach

Hi. I put a question at [[]], regarding the usage of sources for the article. --Soman (talk) 04:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to List of modern armoured fighting vehicles. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Hohum (talk) 23:44, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Abu Arz (GoC), Bach Maroun (LYM) and Abu Kamal (NLP) 1976.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Armbrust ^{WrestleMania XXVII} _{Undertaker 19–0} 23:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. Please note that we take very seriously our criteria on non-free image uploads and users who repeatedly upload or misuse non-free images may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. O Fenian (talk) 22:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Despite this message you made this edit and this edit. I suggest in the strongest possible terms you stop adding inappropriate non-free images to articles, otherwise I will be asking for you to be blocked. O Fenian (talk) 23:16, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Abu Arz (GoC), Bach Maroun (LYM) and Abu Kamal (NLP) 1976.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —GFOLEY FOUR— 22:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Royal Lao Army cap badge.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Royal Lao Army cap badge.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Due to your lack of an edit summary for your recent changes to this article, I cannot tell your reasoning in wanting to have a General overview section instead of a lead summarizing contents of the article. The latter is the standard format for Wikipedia articles, and you seem to have deviated from it on a whim.

When I previously merged the pre-existing General overview section into the inadequate lead, I gave my reasoning in my edit summary. If you have some undisclosed reason for your reversion, how about posting it on the article's Talk page?

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to People’s Liberation Army (Lebanon). I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Hello, Jopsach. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Marada old.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:45, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to a page, specifically M113 armored personnel carrier, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:20, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not keep re-adding non-free images to article such as M113 armored personnel carrier, etc.. The files you are adding (File:Logo of Lebanese Forces.png, File:Marada old.jpg and File:Noumour.jpg) are licensed as non-free content which means that each use of them in a Wikipedia article is required to satisfy all 10 of the non-free content criteria listed in WP:NFCCP. If you feel that the way you want to use the files does satisfy all 10 criteria, then please provide a valid non-free use rationale explaining why as required by WP:NFCC#10c. You should be aware, however, the way you want to use the images is decorative and would not satisfy WP:NFCC#8 because there is no real contextual reason to justify non-free use. There are also problems with using the images for the reasons given in WP:NFLISTS and MOS:LOGO. If you're not sure how to write a non-free rationale, you can ask for help at WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. If you want to discuss whether the way you want to use the files complies with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy, then you can start a discussion about the files at WP:FFD. Continuing to re-add these files without making any attempt to comply with relevant policy is eventually going to be seen as disruptive and a copyright violation, and will lead to an administrator being asked to intervene. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:42, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even though you've been previously asked to not inappropriately add non-free images such as File:Logo of Lebanese Forces.png and File:Noumour.jpg to articles, you continue to do so with edits like this, this, this and this. It's OK to make a mistake once, but repeating the same mistake after being advised not to is not. Please make sure to verify the licensing of any file before adding it to an article. If the file is non-free content, then you need to make sure the particular use complies with all 10 non-free content use criteria and then provide the required separate specific non-free use rationale explaining why. Just for reference, the way you've been using these "flag files" as flag icons is pretty much never considered an acceptable type of non-free use, so you're really going to have to provide a very strong policy-based justification for such use. This the third time you're being warned about the this type of thing,. If you continue to ignore these warnings, an administrator is going to be to intervene to prevent any further disruption. If you have any questions about non-free content use and why these files cannot be used in such a way, please ask for help at WT:NFCC or WP:MCQ. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:07, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I proposed the article "Uraci" for deletion, as it was impossible to check the references provided. Neither Pliny nor Strabo wrote about a Celtiberian people called Uraci, and we could find no mention of Uraci in the modern references. If you think this is an error, please provide references in the talk page.

The article Uraci has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The references provided give not a single mention of this people. Most probably this is a fake page.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give People's Liberation Army (Lebanon) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — MRD2014 ^Talk 04:01, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Riviera Hotel Beirut, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to List of weapons of the Portuguese Colonial War. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Haoreima (talk) 16:55, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits are identical to those of a long running vandal who has been editing from sockpuppet IP accounts and various registered accounts which has included adding nonsense to infoboxes and other parts of articles, generally on articles covering special forces units and South East Asian militaries. I have tagged some of these accounts here. You appear to have been doing this for a long time (e.g. [1]). I note that your recent editing appears to have included the use of logged out editing from IP accounts as well as editing from this account (e.g. [2] and a range of other IPs). There are a range of other similarities, including the high volume of your editing. As such, I think that you are likely one of the sockmaster accounts here. Nick-D (talk) 22:37, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a vandal! I do not edit from sockpuppet IP accounts or any various registered accounts adding nonsense to infoboxes, particullary on articles covering special forces units and South East Asian militaries, since it happens to be that I am the original author of these same articles! Yes, I have noticed for some time that someone access my articles on Wikipedia to add unwanted details that make no sense, but it wasn't me, I can assure you that! And I have no idea who this "vandal" is. Please reconsider our decision and unblock me as soon as possible. Regards, Jopsach. Jopsach (talk) 22:53, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop reverting my edits! I am not this sockpuppet|Danros26, I did nothing wrong! Jopsach (talk) 22:59, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll provide some more details here:

• The main link with these other registered and IP accounts is the very distinctive, and very unusual, pattern of adding excessive detail to the role field of military unit infoboxes. Compare these example edits from Jopsach ([3] [4] [5], [6]) with those from IP and registered sock accounts ([7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13] [14], [15], [16], [17] - all to articles that Jopsach has also edited, generally frequently (and in several cases created) - as well as [18], [19], [20], [21], [22]) - there are a huge number of other examples
• The Patauga jungle boot article clearly illustrates Jopsach's habbit of swapping between this account and IP accounts - this is an article which Jopsach created, and it's mainly been edited by their registered account and several IP accounts that also focus on articles that Jopsach has edited: [23]. It also features an over-detailed infobox these these accounts created. There are a number of other examples, such as List of weapons of the Portuguese Colonial War and List of weapons of the Rhodesian Bush War (articles which Jopsach also created and is the main editor of).
• Another common feature is the high volume of daily edits from these accounts. There are some other commonalities related to this that I would prefer to not disclose on wiki given the strong possibility of further sockpuppetary and block evasion.
• I note that Jopsach has complained several times above about being affected by blocks that had no clear cause when other admins reviewed them: it's possible that these were blocks I and other admins applied to the IP and registered accounts. Nick-D (talk) 06:04, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

l read your replies and you list edits that l had made and comparing to others that I never did! I have only one account and l not resort to sockpuppetary while editing articles that I wrote. And I don't have multiple accounts, only the one that I've been using for years. Jopsach (talk) 08:59, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm willing to believe that there potentially could be more than one sockmaster here, but you very strongly appear to be editing from various IP accounts simultaneously with this account across a large number of articles, with this having taken place over years. Something that concerned me was that some of the IPs geolocate to somewhere in Europe and others to somewhere in Asia, but 27.55.75.138 (talk · contribs), which appears highly likely to be you given that it edited only articles you created or had a focus on, geolocates to the Asian country that the other IP edits I was wondering about are from. Nick-D (talk) 10:19, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto 27.55.71.157 (talk · contribs). I suspect that there are other such IP accounts. Nick-D (talk) 10:34, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

l live and work in Portugal, Europe, and l'm sure that l don't edit articles from different IP adresses simultaneously from Asia, though is likely that someone based in that region (the true sockmaster) hacked my Wikipedia account and usurped my username in order to do the nonsense edits that you refer to. If so, how can we solve this problem? Jopsach (talk) 10:59, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi. As User:voorts requested, I will provide evidence that (I hope) might explain the odd similarities between my style of editing and that of User:Danros26, the probable sockmaster likely behind this series of disruptive edits that resulted in myself being blocked indefinitely. Fortunately, I kept the original text versions of the articles that I authored and published on Wikipedia archived on my computer, so I’m able to present examples of my work and will enable you to see how the sockmaster imitated my style of editing to add unnecessary and unsolicited details to my articles, in this case, the one covering the Khmer Special Forces. Depicted below are two samples of the same text, the first taken from my personal archive and other currently depicted on Wikipedia: Sample 1: Khmer Special Forces original text ==Origins== The history of the Khmer Special Forces began in October 1971, when the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) was organized at Phnom Penh under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel (later, Brigadier-General) Thach Reng. The Khmer SF were actually a creation of Lt. Col. Ronnie Mendoza, a Special Forces-qualified US Army officier assigned to the American Military Equipment Delivery Team, Cambodia (MEDTC) earlier in June 1971. A prominent member of the MEDTC’s Plans and Programs Section, Mendoza focused on providing the Cambodian Army unconventional warfare units capable of carring out guerrilla operations in the northern and eastern Cambodian provinces under the control of both the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and their Khmer Rouge allies.[1] Two other SF groups, the 2nd Special Forces Group (Airborne) and the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) were activated in the following year. Under the auspices of Operation “Freedom Runner” – a FANK training program set up in November 1971 by the United States Special Forces (USSF) –, Khmer Special Forces teams began to be sent to South Vietnam to attend Parachute courses at the ARVN Airborne Training Center in Long Thanh, and the Special Forces’ (SF) course at the Army of the Republic of Vietnam Special Forces (LLDB) Dong Ba Thin Training Center near Cam Rhan Bay. Manned by the USSF Detachment B-51, assisted by New Zealand Army instructors from the 2 NZ Army Training Team Vietnam (2 NZATTV)[2] and modelled on the USSF/LLDB own training programs, the course began with four weeks of basic SF skills followed by training in one of six SF job skills: operations and intelligence, demolitions, light weapons, heavy weapons, radio communications, or medical. Other advanced additional courses included psychological warfare, political warfare, anti-tank warfare, and Taekwondo. A two-week ‘live-fire’ field exercise (sometimes complemented by a field operation against NVA/VC forces in the surrounding areas of the training center[3]) completed the SF course. More specialised SF training was carried out in the United States and Thailand since December 1972. Khmer SF trainees attended technical courses at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, by the USSF 5th Special Forces Group and at the Royal Thai Army (RTA) Special Warfare Center at Ft. Narai, Lopburi province by the US 46th Special Forces Company; additional Guerrilla and ‘Commando’ skills were taught by instructors from the Royal Thai Army Special Forces (RTSF) and Royal Thai Police Police Aerial Resupply Unit (PARU) at the latter’s Phitsanulok training camp.[4] Advanced Ranger/LRRP and radio communications’ courses also took place in early 1973 at the Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) Recondo School at Nha Trang, South Vietnam, manned by the USSF Detachment B-36, and at the RTA Recondo School co-located at Ft. Narai, Thailand, before “Freedom Runner” was concluded on July that year. Sample 2: Khmer Special Forces text edited by the sockmaster ==Origins== The history of the Khmer Special Forces began in October 1971, when the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) was organized at Phnom Penh under the command of Lieutenant colonel (later, Brigadier general) Thach Reng.[5] The Khmer SF were actually a creation of Lt. Col. Ronnie Mendoza, a Special Forces-qualified United States Army (USA) officier assigned to the American Military Equipment Delivery Team, Cambodia (MEDTC) assistance program earlier in June 1971. A prominent member of the MEDTC's Plans and Programs Section, Lt. Col. Mendoza focused on providing the Khmer National Army (ANK) unconventional warfare units capable of carrying out counterinsurgency and guerrilla warfare operations in the northern and eastern Cambodian provinces under the control of both the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and their Khmer Rouge allies.[6] Two other SF groups, the 2nd Special Forces Group (Airborne) and the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) were activated in the following year. Under the auspices of Operation "Freedom Runner" – a Khmer National Armed Forces (FANK) training program set up in November 1971 by the United States Army Special Forces (USSF)[7] –, Khmer Special Forces teams began to be sent to South Vietnam to attend Parachute courses at the Republic of Vietnam Airborne Division (VNAD) Training Centre in Long Thành, and the Special Forces' (SF) course at the Army of the Republic of Vietnam Special Forces (LLDB) Dong Ba Thin Training Centre near Cam Ranh Bay. Manned by the USSF Detachment B-51, assisted by New Zealand Army instructors from the 2nd NZ Army Training Team Vietnam (2 NZATTV)[8][9] and modelled on the USSF/LLDB own training programs, the course began with four weeks of basic SF skills followed by training in one of six SF job skills: defusing and disposal of bombs, hand and arm signals, heavy weapons, light weapons, HUMINT, radio communications, reconnaissance, swimming, and tactical emergency medical. Other advanced additional courses included amphibious warfare, anti-tank warfare, artillery observer, close-quarters battle, combat and patrolling techniques in urban areas, combat search and rescue, command and control, counter-ambushes, defusing and disposal of bombs and land mines, executive protection, force protection, forward air control, hand-to-hand combat, infiltration and exfil by helicopters, irregular warfare, jungle warfare, living off the jungle, mountain warfare, parachuting, psychological warfare, search and destroy tunnel rats, SERE, small unit tactics, swimming with weapons and equipment, tactical emergency medical and casualty evacuation, taekwondo, tracking tactics, use of a map and compass, unconventional tactics, and other skills related to special operations. A two-week 'live-fire' field exercise (sometimes complemented by a field operation against NVA/Vietcong (VC) forces in the surrounding areas of the training centre) completed the SF course.[10] More specialised SF training was carried out in the United States and Thailand since December 1972. Khmer SF trainees attended technical courses at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, by the USSF 5th Special Forces Group and at the Royal Thai Army (RTA) Special Warfare Centre at Fort Narai, Lopburi Province by the US 46th Special Forces Company; additional commando and guerrilla skills were taught by Thai instructors from the Royal Thai Army Special Warfare Command (RTASWC) and Royal Thai Police (RTP) Police Aerial Reinforcement Unit (PARU) at the latter's Phitsanulok and Hua Hin training camps.[11] Advanced Thahan Phran (Thai Rangers)/Long-range reconnaissance patrol (LRRP) and radio communications' courses also took place in early 1973 at the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) Recondo School at Nha Trang, South Vietnam, manned by the USSF Detachment B-36, and at the RTA Recondo School co-located at Ft. Narai, Thailand, before "Freedom Runner" was concluded on July that year.[12] As to avoid this disruptive editing from happening again, the only possible solution is to me access regularly the Wikipedia articles that I authored covering special forces units and South East Asian militaries, inspect them in search of edits of questionable content and origin, and then revert these as soon as possible.

I've considered the situation further, and I'm not sure that you are the same person as User:Danros26 as there are some differences in approach; I think that I've miss-identified Danros26 as being the sockmaster account for the infobox-related editing, and this may actually be the actual sockmaster account (or at least one of them). As noted above I think that there's very strong evidence that you have been misusing IP accounts to disruptively edit a very wide range of articles. I'll remove the Danros26 tag, but the block seems to continue to be justified by the behavioural evidence I've outlined above. I note that you say that your account has been compromised and (if I'm reading your posts correctly) that the edits from this account I've identified as being identical to the IP editing were actually made by a hacker - this is a major barrier to this account ever being unblocked. To be honest, I'm doubtful that this account has been compromised given the behavioural evidence, but we often have to take people at their word with this kind of thing as part of a cautious approach to issues around IT security and the legalities of the licences Wikipedia operates under. Nick-D (talk) 09:43, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it seems that my situation is really hopeless. The block will never be lifted anyway, so I have no other choice but to shut down my Wikipedia account since I'm guilty of abusing multiple accounts and IP adresses for the purpose of desruptive editing of articles, and I'm incapable of proving my innocence. Thank you for your patience and help. Regards, Jopsach

The logged out edits I see that I could possibly associate directly to this account appear to be mostly good faith. I certainly wouldn't call them a basis for block evasion necessarily (without some perhaps-significant history extending past the privacy waterfall) and they certainly don't hit my vandalism mark. (I say mostly because there are a few edits that are sus. One's mileage might vary.) I would say there has not been significant logged out editing as to suggest an evasion of scrutiny but that Jopsach should definitely work on remaining logged in.

On the other hand, I see nothing to suggest a compromise. So the user does seem to be telling us what he thinks he wants us to hear rather than the seemingly-obvious truth when they have logged out.

The user may have created a sleeper at Javiersqrivera (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki · SI). Very weak possibility.

None of the accounts in that category are recent. The only one with log data is ExNavySeal10 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki · SI) and the data for that account does not match either this account's story or the data underneath.

@Asilvering and Izno: as noted above, I don't think that this user is Danros26, and I removed the tagging as such a week ago. The IP accounts that are disruptively editing infoboxes appear to be run by someone (or some people) else, which I suspect that Jopsach is a sockmaster of given the behavioual evidence. This disruption has been going on for a long time, and the use of IP accounts has meant that the various editors who have been reverting it are unable to communicate with the person/people behind it. Nick-D (talk) 10:18, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick-D, I'm aware.

@Jopsach, you've alleged above that your account was compromised. How do you think this was done, and how would you prevent it from happening again? -- asilvering (talk) 13:26, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

l initially believed that my account was compromised, but, after reading the previous replies, l'm now certain that was not the case. I have no ideia how this multiple accounts abuse was done and l don't know how to prevent it from happening again. Any suggestions? Jopsach (talk) 16:41, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, what? You believed that someone else edited using your account, but now you're saying that you made those edits yourself? -- asilvering (talk) 17:18, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not saying that! I still believe that someone else did used either my IP account, my IP adress or even both, plus multiple accounts, to make all those disruptive edits without my knowledge or consent, but I ignore how the user (or users) responsible for this wrongdoing did managed to pull this off by presenting me as the sockmaster, which is false! Jopsach (talk) 18:29, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The edits are from your account (not an "IP account", whatever that is). Either you made those edits, or your account was compromised. It can't be neither. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:06, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since I didn't made the disruptive edits that I am accused of, I cannot explain why my own account ended up being used to create this bloody mess! I'm not even an experienced computer programmer or hacker, just a regular person. The only thing I know is that I'm currently blocked indefinitely and if my account is really comprised, I see no other option but to place a request to delete it and terminate my coloboration with Wikipedia. Jopsach (talk) 22:12, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot request deletion of your account, but you can certainly terminate your collaboration with Wikipedia. -- asilvering (talk) 22:34, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That means that someone else can continue to use my account for abusive editing without me in control and in my name? Jopsach (talk) 22:51, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can request that your account be locked as compromised. That means it will be impossible to log into it. jlwoodwa (talk) 22:54, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have made the request on Meta. Not entirely sure this isn't CIR Star Mississippi 03:57, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the request. Jopsach (talk) 08:47, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jopsach, no one can use your account for abusive editing. It's blocked. -- asilvering (talk) 03:59, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I suppose that is impossible for me to continue to access Wikipedia by creating a new account... Jopsach (talk) 08:53, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That would be block evasion given that this block remains in place. Nick-D (talk) 10:15, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was worth trying. For how long the block will remain in place? Jopsach (talk) 12:26, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinitely. -- asilvering (talk) 12:45, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that settles the matter. I will not place any more unblock requests in the future and this is my last message in this User talk page. Regards. Jopsach (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That means something like "until l learn my lesson"? Jopsach (talk) 14:13, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I can do to revert this unpleasant situation? Jopsach (talk) 21:18, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been checking the Wikipedia articles that l authored and l realised that other users have made recently edits to them. It's really frustrating to me to be blocked from editing my own articles and watch others doing so freely! I feel that l'm unfairly punished for a crime that l didn't committed. I have reconsidered my previous position of not contesting the block to one of constantly demanding to be unblocked by posting messages on this talk page until l get a decisive reply. Jopsach (talk) 14:41, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a good way to get your talk page access revoked. jlwoodwa (talk) 17:45, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jopsach, if you want to contest the block, you'll have to make an unblock request, in which you convince an administrator that a) you are not disruptively editing infoboxes while logged out, and b) you will edit constructively if unblocked. I could be persuaded about item a - I didn't get very far into investigating that before you gave up - but I'm really struggling with item b right now, since very little of what you're saying here is making any sense at all. -- asilvering (talk) 17:59, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. First of all, I apologise for not having explained myself properly. I fell powerless for being no longer able to edit the articles that I authored while other users can do it without the restrictions that I am currently subjected to. However, I must admit that the edits that I've so far seen throughout these same articles are just small modifications, and some are even justified since they add important details that I missed before the block was implemented and made the necessary corrections (e.g. permanently dead link). In their edits, I found no trace of mischeif or "vandalism". I will follow your advice and I'll make other unblock request today. Please continue your investigation on item a, the disruptive editing of infoboxes - you might find the real culprit. Regards Jopsach (talk) 20:03, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The tone of my last message may sound desperate, even extreme (apologies for that), but I think that I have the right to clear my name. Do you know what is to be accused of being the perpetrator of a serious offense - in this case, abusive use of multiple accounts and of being a sockpuppet/sockmaster or worse, a vandal, who is very found to edit Wikipedia articles to add nonsense -, that you cannot explain how that happened without your knowledge or consent and you have to struggle to provide evidence of your innocence without knowing how to do it? I have been a contribuitor (and user) to Wikipedia for the past 18 years and, although I have been blocked previously for other, unrelated reasons, I was never subjected to a block for indefinitive time, which was a complete surprise to me. I don't want to have a reputation as a criminal gilty of vandalism stuck to me. Jopsach (talk) 19:25, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

My username is Jopsach, and I have been indefinitely blocked since 16 August 2025 by User:Nick-D from editing Wikipedia pages, including all the articles that I authored for the past 18 years. The reason cited by User:Nick-D is that he found that my recent edits prior to 16 August are identical to those of a long running vandal who has been editing from sockpuppet IP accounts and various registered accounts for several years, which has included adding nonsense to infoboxes and other parts of articles, generally on articles covering special forces units and South East Asian militaries. He also pointed a range of other similarities, including the high volume of my editing and the use of logged out editing from IP accounts, as well as from account 89.114.174.110, which, I admit, belongs to my smartphone. I replied to User:Nick-D by assuring him that I’m neither a sockpuppeteer or a sockmaster and my conduct under my sole account and IP address is not connected in any way with the block. Initially, User:Nick-D suspected of the existence more than one sockmaster, since he noted that someone (supposedly me) appear to have been editing from various IP accounts simultaneously with my account across a large number of articles. He eventually fond out that some of the IPs geolocate to somewhere in Europe and others to somewhere in Asia, but 27.55.75.138, which appeared to be me, given that it edited only articles I created or had a focus on, geolocates to an undisclosed Asian country that the other IP edits are from. Eventually, he found an obscure User:Danros26, which he identified (and tagged) as being the sockmaster account for the infobox-related editing, and this may actually be the actual sockmaster account (or at least one of them), a fact that led him to believe that User:Danros26 and I were the same person, mostly because of the strong similarities between our editing styles. User:Nick-D later removed this tag, though he still believes that my blocking is justified due to the behavioural evidence mentioned above: constant misuse of IP accounts to disruptively edit a very wide range of articles. At first, I thought that my account had been compromised by a hacker, and although User:Nick-D doubts that this is the case, he emphasized that this possibility is a major barrier to my account ever being unblocked. I apologize for accessing my account without properly logging in prior to making edits. I’ll not disruptively edit infoboxes while logged out and that I’ll edit constructively if unblocked. Therefore, I request to be unblocked.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jopsach (talk • contribs) 6:52 pm, 3 September 2025, Wednesday (23 days ago) (UTC−4)

Decline reason:

Sorry, the pattern of arguments across the prior unblock requests in relation to disruption to infoboxes using this account raises concerns that have not been adequately addressed. At this point, I would recommend seeking a WP:SO unblock in six months. Alternatively, a voluntary conditional topic ban from infoboxes may make future reviewing admins more willing to consider an unblock. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:40, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. thank you User:Rosguill for your reply. I will follow your advice and seek a WP:SO unblock after a six-month voluntary topic ban from any infobox in Wikipedia. Regards, Jopsach.

It looks like the disruptive editing is continuing given the edits from 2001:FB1:13:66E1:B58C:50CC:9DAE:B4DD (talk · contribs) today (for instance, compare the infobox created with the article in [24] with [25]). I'll tag these accounts as sockpuppets of Jopsach in future. Nick-D (talk) 11:01, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick-D, please don't tag IP addresses like that. -- asilvering (talk) 08:05, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing to do with the editings of the infoboxes of both 10th Infantry Brigade (Lebanon) and 12th Brigade (Japan) articles, since I've been blocked indefinitely since August 2025! I did authored the 10th Infantry Brigade (Lebanon) article but I had never created or edited the 12th Brigade (Japan) article and therefor I cannot be held responsible for any recent disruptive editing activity on Wikipedia pages. In addition, I don't even known how to create a sockpuppet account (let alone multiple accounts) since I'm not a certified computer programmer and I didn't created this User:2001:FB1:13:66E1:B58C:50CC:9DAE:B4DD. I have no ideia who is the obscure person that hides behind this sockpuppet, but is allways me who gets the blame, which I find frustrating. Jopsach.

~2025-31764-27 (talk · contribs) is very clearly Jopsach. Blocked and tagged also. Nick-D (talk) 07:17, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick-D, you're missing the second parameter on that tag. I would suggest that you send future blocks through SPI. -- asilvering (talk) 08:11, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Following a suggestion by User:Rosguill, I have observed a seven-month voluntary topic ban from any infobox in Wikipedia and I'm now seeking a WP:SO unblock after been indefinitely blocked since 16 August 2025 by User:Nick-D on the suspicion of multiple accounts abuse and disrupted editing. Regards, Jopsach.

Decline reason:

The standard offer is 6 months since the last block evading edits. Even if the instance Nick-D pointed out above is the most recent you aren't eligible for the standard offer until May.

Also note that this account is WP:3X banned, although that wasn't a factor in my declining this request. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:26, 11 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
