Thankfully (and finally), we now have a guideline we can cite for omitting common nicknames in the lead. See WP:QUOTENAME: "If a person has a well-known common hypocorism, used in lieu of a given name, it is not presented between quote marks following the last given name or initial, as for Tom Hopper which has just Thomas Edward Hopper." The discussion took place at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biographies about a month ago. Lizard (talk) 03:58, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
That part of the guideline did actually sound familiar. It's possible that I once encountered one of your edits citing the guideline and briefly read it but didn't think to cite it myself. Useful either way. —DangerousJXD (talk) 05:40, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
BOZ (talk) is wishing you a MerryChristmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Don't eat yellow snow!
Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:Flaming/MC2008}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings". :)

I've seen it now, and since it's over, I have nothing much to say. I was not "hacked". I have used the "..." edit summary before; I use it occasionally to express my annoyance in having to make a particular type of edit. In this case, the edits were cleaning up after a bot which I feel should really be altered. I haven't read the section thoroughly but I don't believe there is anything else that I need to address. —DangerousJXD (talk) 21:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
I have now read the entire section and I'll touch on a few more things. I do not operate a bot, I am one person, no other person has used my account, and the blanking of my user page was something I was contemplating for a while. Also, there is a legit possibility that the IP who created the section is just this little troll who has a crush on me, although, that can't really be proved. It's definitely something they would do. You can see their most recent actions at NBA 2K and User:DangerousJXD/sandbox. They once created a few impersonation accounts and they are mentioned in the above section. —DangerousJXD (talk) 21:50, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
Regarding the "Megavillain" vandal, I was wondering if you came across any of their IP addresses that didn't start with "2601" or "2602" as their numbered address. If you have found any, it would be helpful for me to know. It might seem like beating a dead horse, but I just opened this report as a follow up to the initial WP:SPI report. DarkKnight214922:37, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Darkknight2149, I haven't encountered any of these edits since around the day they made a whole batch of them using one IP. I couldn't tell you whether I have already seen such IPs making these edits but I will notify you of anything relevant. It may interest you to know that the now new-and-improved "clash" troll has returned after a brief absence. Good luck in seeking that rangeblock. —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:59, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Alright, thanks. Yeah, I saw the "clash" troll on the edit history for Hulk (comics) pretending to be Zjec (another user that was blocked for disruptively removing information pertaining to the 1970s Hulk show). I don't think he realises that "pacific" is actually an ocean. DarkKnight214901:24, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
That makes more sense. I find this claim from the "Clans" vandal to be very improbable. Anyways, the good news is that one of the IP ranges that the Megavillain vandal was using has been blocked. This should at least slow down their vandalism, if it doesn't stop it for the duration of the block. If the vandalism somehow continues, the admins said that creating an edit filter or Cluebot modification should be possible for detecting and reverting it. DarkKnight214920:34, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Please take part in a discussion about specifying league in club history in infobox
Since I don't have a strong opinion on this matter, I'll refrain from commenting. I'd probably lean towards not including so-called league specifiers, for the reasons you have previously cited. —DangerousJXD (talk) 03:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
I respect your choice. Only thing I will say is that this issue has been debated for years and it would be nice to get to a resolution. Rikster2 (talk) 03:27, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
DeMarcus Cousins
I added PF because the Pelicans list him that way (link). I wasn't paying attention before, but it seems like the Pelicans may be doing it since he will be playing alongside Anthony Davis now, as opposed to Sacramento, where he was purely a center. Rikster2 (talk) 02:45, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
I don't have much to add, but I will note that I was aware of NBA.com listing DeMarcus Cousins as a forward. I still do not believe that power forward should be listed but I don't care enough to dispute it further. —DangerousJXD (talk) 03:17, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Lennox Cowie. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
(edit conflict) To clarify, the IP edits at Lennox Cowie and Treehouse of Horror VI were not blatantly vandalism, and thus are not exempt from 3RR rules. Your edit summary here makes it clear you have no interest in discussing the situation, despite the talk page and/or RPP being possible routes of action. In the future, even if you are 100% correct, please avoid getting into petty back-and-forths with other editors (even IPs); take it to the talk page, RPP, AIV, or any of a dozen locations. The truth will always find its way through, and having incorrect information on a page for a day or three is not the end of the world. Primefac (talk) 02:58, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Sro23, I don't see much (if any) similarity between this circumstance and the ones listed at NRP's page. Am I missing something obvious? Primefac (talk) 03:03, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Primefac, I and others have been dealing with this troll for months. I do not usually use this particular method but please forgive me for not requesting page protection for the 100th time. Please forgive me for not feeding the troll in a talk page discussion like several other users have foolishly done. The edits themselves are not the point either. That's the beauty of this troll. —DangerousJXD (talk) 03:06, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Many thanks. Just a note, I was going to grab a bunch of diffs but there's really no need to now. If you would like to be knowledgeable on the situation, I can still do so if you like, just for fun. Otherwise, carry on. —DangerousJXD (talk) 03:20, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, that's definitely Zjec. I reinstated my previous range block on 113.210.0.0/16, which should take care of this. Instead of feeding the troll, you can contact me on my talk page. I'll perform range blocks, page protection, or whatever. I'm usually on top this stuff, but it looks like I was a bit late this time. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
NinjaRobotPirate, are sure that the 'clash' troll and Zjec are the same person? This, to me anyway, outright proves they are not. One of the clash troll's gimmicks is imitating users; they have created impersonation accounts, forged users' signatures, copied the trolling of other trolls, quoted other users, so on. The other vandal they mention in that diff is clearly not the clash vandal and they misspelled Zjec. As far as I am aware, the clash troll's first activity here was the harassment of Barek, but there's no way to actually confirm that. After that, they started the whole crap about fictional characters appearing in the games Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, and then later, Plants vs. Zombies; this started at Thing (comics). Then they moved more to general harassment. I really don't think Zjec and the clash troll are the same person, although, I don't know an awful lot about Zjec's act. I have Hulk (comics) in my watchlist so I just casually observed that situation. A while after Zjec was blocked, the clash troll returns to Hulk (comics) to insert his crap. To me, his modification of the lead in the same manner as Zjec is either unintentional or done to make you think he is Zjec. They have done the same thing at Black Widow (Natalia Romanova). Although this isn't related to whether or not Zjec and the clash troll are the same person, the person who used thesetwo accounts is clearly not the clash troll. The clash troll saw that I was dealing with a troll and piggybacked their trolling; they have done this many times before as well. —DangerousJXD (talk) 08:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
I don't think it's incredibly important who the 113.201 IP is or why he's disrupting Wikipedia. Even if the 113.201 IP isn't Zjec, it's still the same person that I've been blocking for the past few weeks for harassment and trolling. I could call him Zjec or "the Clash troll" or "the 113.201 IP" or whatever other name, and it wouldn't make that much difference. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:45, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
GeneralizationsAreBad, it should be clear to even those who have never encountered this troll that these are impersonation accounts. It is mindboggling to me that this particular troll is still fooling experienced users. Just a question, before this impersonation account was blocked, where exactly was this discussion and was it a discussion in which the initiator assumed good faith towards the obvious troll? —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:04, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
The discussion is at WP:ANI. See the sections "Impersonation account" and "Another imposter". They were both very brief. It pretty much went like this:
* Person reporting the user: "This user is impersonating DJXD and needs to be blocked."
My apologies if my intentions were not clear. I tend to use the "Please see" talkback template, which shows up as "please check the discussion." I just wanted to confirm that this was not you, and am glad that the situation has been resolved by an admin. GABgab22:58, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
Alrighty then. I eagerly anticipate the arrival of DangerousJXD4. What will the troll's next gimmick be, I wonder? It is truly thrilling stuff. —DangerousJXD (talk) 23:57, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
L3X1, I have not, mainly because I have better things to do with my time and I genuinely don't care enough about what this troll does to aggressively try to stop them. —DangerousJXD (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
It has been one year since I started my trolling. Now, I realised my mistake and I have decided to stop my trolling once and for all. There will be no more trolling about Clash of Clans or any other games, no more personal attacks, no more impersonation acconts and so on. I am sorry for what I have done over the past year. You may not believe what I say here, feel free to remove this message or report me. But whatever it is, I stay firm with my decision to stop my trolling. Thanks. 115.134.190.67 (talk) 06:40, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
Impersonation prevention
I'm not sure if you saw Sro23's message on my Talk Page, but (since impersonation is an ongoing issue), it is apparently possible to file a request at MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist that will help prevent people from creating usernames similar to your own. If this happens to me again, I will probably end up doing this with my username. DarkKnight214915:12, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
It was describing my opinion of the style of vandalism rather than the actual vandal. It was essentially a joke displaying my lack of enthusiasm for having to revert such edits. If I really wanted to insult somebody, I would do it properly. —DangerousJXD (talk) 21:25, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
