User:Pankkake/UserWatch

This is a list of users making bad edits and not learning. I will remove them from this list if this changes.

They either do not read their mails, do not get them, or willfully ignore them (unfortunately I cannot know, but that does not make a difference in practice: incorrect edits still keep coming). Of course the "No cancel" is usually a given when I say "No reply".

In a sane world, they should be forced to take action before being able to make new edits.

Current concerns

https://musicbrainz.org/user/urushi

Never got any reply, does destructive cover art removals.

http://musicbrainz.org/user/yktsg

Sets CDs as CD-R without proof; does not reply or listen.

http://musicbrainz.org/user/anon987

Keeps adding cover art with only "from google" as an edit note, despite being told not to. Has often added the wrong artwork for releases, as expected when you're looking for artwork "from google". Does not reply.

http://musicbrainz.org/user/Valfar00

So far zero reply to inquiries, repeats mistakes that have been explained before. Has repeated mistakes in less than a week many times, even if warned each time, and suggested to just leave empty instead of putting a wrong value.

• Packaging to None on physical releases. It actually requires less work to not put the incorrect data.
• Always sets releases to Worldwide.
• Uploaded cover art that was for the wrong releases.
• English/Latin regardless of tracklist, even when there is Cyrillic script!
• Adds duplicates.

http://musicbrainz.org/user/notmebug

Appears to be a "bug me not" login, shared to multiple users. Has an history of very bad edits on completely distinct genres. Should obviously be forced to reconfirm its email.

Adding wrong cover art and hijacking existing releases (including impossible dates for CDs).

http://musicbrainz.org/user/dadosalgueiro

Adds fictional bands. Yes, you read me: bands that do not exist, with always some weird Blogspot page he edited himself. Has tried multiple times, including adding the "band" under wrong names.

Does many bad edits (hijacks existing releases, adds wrong cover art), so far unresponsive.

Past honorable mentions

http://musicbrainz.org/user/ff89 (deleted)

So far zero reply to inquiries, repeats mistakes that have been explained before. Has repeated mistakes in less than a week. No reply through the entire life of his account.

• Cites "Spotify" as a source for physical releases, mangles tracklist to his liking (replacing parenthesis by a single dash), sets incorrect countries, incorrect capitalization.

http://musicbrainz.org/user/Caravanheart

Took months of messaging before stopping setting releases as CD without proof (many having been proved wrong easily), now does not research either but at least doesn't set Medium Type. I still find incorrect releases that have not been fixed. Still does not reply and regularly adds dupes, but at least those are not wrong information.

What prompted the change: Systematic No vote until editor fixes his behavior.

http://musicbrainz.org/user/Deleted%20Editor%20%23630107 http://musicbrainz.org/user/dvojchenkov

Deleted then recreated account. Almost never replies (best I could get was like "I do not speak English") and made wrong destructive edits all the time, but seems to do a bit better now.

It was a bot, so you wouldn't expect it to reply. But editors were not aware of it. Overwhelming number of edits many of those pass, and there are still many incorrect releases left. It is a good example of how much damage a single unchecked editor can make.

?

Editor repeatedly adding wrong cover art, no source and no replies. OK, there might be more than one…

?

Editor willfully adding wrong cover art because he preferred it.
