On March 5, 2024 at approximately 12:30 PM, the user named "SWATJester" accused me of harassing him through direct messages on his LinkedIn. This is false. I am starting to believe that this individual is mentally unstable and accusing me of harassing him offsite. I have done no such thing, I have put many hours into contributing to Wikipedia articles in my freetime. Aanonymiss (talk) 17:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedia, will you please unban my Wikipedia account? I've put so much time and effort into contributing to Wikipedia.
Paul R. Houston I created this article. Julie S. Cabus I created this article. Top Ships Inc I created this article. Castor Maritime I created this article. Rewards For Justice I added the logo for the Rewards for Justice Program

The merits of your contributions are not the issue; your off wiki actions are. I suggest that you consider the offer of the blocking admin below; if you decide to do as they request, I will remove the block on their behalf. 331dot (talk) 13:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

I'd be willing to lift the block on this user if they agree to apologize for their egregious personal attacks in the unblock request below, and to abide by the reliable sourcing guidelines in the future, with the understanding that if they do not the block will be reinstated due to their demonstrated history of failing to represent their edits accurately, subtle vandalism, original research, and a general lack of editing competency. I'm traveling and will have limited internet access between now and May 27th, so I may be slow to respond to inquiries -- if the reviewing admin wishes to address the unblock request before then, they should do whatever they feel is appropriate without need to consult me. ⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 05:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedia Community and SWATJester, thank you for your message. Firstly, it is a great honor and huge privilege to be apart or a community that truly cares about providing reliable and verifiable Encyclopedia content through citations and sources. I've learned valuable life lesson skills and aim to improve myself as to become a better Wikipedia editor. I would like to issue a public apology to the Wikipedia community for my unprofessional behavior of my Wiki actions and to SWATJester. I will abide to the reliable sourcing guidelines in the future and do extensive research before contributing to any Wikipedia article. I am willing to take full responsibility for my actions and I will admit that it was wrong of me. I hope to make reprimands and contribute to the community by joining the Counter-Vandalism Unit and help clean Wikipedia of subtle vandalism.
Accept reason:
Based on Yamla's clean report below, and the promises made in the unblock request, I'll accept this and unblock your account. ⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 23:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

You just got unblocked, tread carefully please
Aanonymiss -- you just got unblocked a couple of weeks ago and you've already begun making problematic edits. You recently mangled the ledes of the Ned Price, Central Intelligence Agency, and United States European Command articles, and at least in a couple of cases your edits were done apparently with the intent of shoehorning in loosely related content that you've contributed to relating to Rewards For Justice. Please tread more carefully in the future; one of the conditions of being unblocked was that you would demonstrate a higher degree of editing competency -- this isn't it. ⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 23:56, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Predatory Sparrow. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement, you may have a possible Conflict of Interest and most of the facts appear contradicted by the provided sources, many of which are unreliable or questionable.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. ⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 00:17, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Additionally, please indicate at this time whether you have a conflict of interest with regard to the subject of the article and state whether you are being paid to make these edits or otherwise editing under a contract. Given your past disclosures under your previous name, this appears to be a direct violation of our COI and quite possibly undisclosed paid editing policies. ⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 00:20, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello Swatjester, how are you? No I do not make any money from Wikipedia. I am not editing under a contract either. I don't have any money at all. I just thought it was a noteworthy article to write about since Predatory Sparrow launches cyberattacks and it's caused damage to cyber-physical systems. PredatorSparrow (talk) 00:48, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for converting it to a draft. I don't understand why it reads like an advertisement because I am neither promoting nor asking for any money. Predatory Sparrow is a hacker who made it to TIME's website. I understand that the sources may seem unreliable or questionable, but they are from websites with well reputation. Many hackers attack random targets, and I thought it would be fascinating to write about since Predatory Sparrow only has a history of launching attacks towards sanctioned Iranian entities. Thank you for your message. https://time.com/6548680/iran-hacker-gas-station-cyberattack-israel/PredatorSparrow (talk) 00:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
From the sources provided, Predatory Sparrow is an American codename/nickname for a Persian hacking group, not an individual hacker, and not an "American hacker" as you indicated. Additionally, the article (and others I cleaned up as well) was written attributing these actions to the group directly in wikivoice; however the few reliable sources provided merely attribute it as claims, but do not appear to provide verification; while the several unreliable ones can't be used. I did not exhaustively check every source against every claim in the article before draftifying, but every one that I did spot check appeared to fail to support the claim it was referencingand it appeared to have enough significant errors or discrepancies from the sources that it would have likely been deleted once those were cleaned up. Draftifying it is a rescue measure, as it does appear that there is a hacking group by this name that exists. But the article needs serious work before returning to Mainspace.⇒SWATJesterShoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 01:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your assistance with cleaning up the article. I just added more information about the cyberattack targeting three steel mills for the article and one of the steel mills which caught on fire from the impact of their cyberattack. According to BBC, they said that the attacks were highly sophisticated and carried out by a military/state-sponsored actor. Yes I see why you deleted the other articles. Some of them mentioned other hacker cyberattacks and other groups without listing any additional details. PredatorSparrow (talk) 01:53, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Question
Hi, just out of curiosity, how come you have the Predatory Sparrow "official logo" on your user page? Has it been released to the public domain, or were you given permission to use it? Was it intended for the article? (I noticed the new page btw, found that interesting, hope it's back up soon). Cheers - \\'cԼF 02:24, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

this page appears to be self worship. It’s written very much to praise the subject with no objectivity, and it was written by someone who’s been blocked on Wikipedia for problematic editing.
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.
