This page has been created to keep track of information on the Wikipedia editor Ronald20, and to help other Wikipedia editors coordinate their efforts regarding Ronald20 (talk · contribs)/204.108.96.10 (talk · contribs).

My guess is that Ronald20 is a teenager with either a learning disability or some behavioral problem (OCD or Asperger's perhaps). He doesn't seem to respond to any attempts at communication, but I have seen some ability to learn by example. Because of that, one thing that I've been trying to do is not just doing reverts on all of his edits, but instead, for some of the articles, I also try to cleanup the article. I'll do some wikification, add more info, add references, add more links, etc.

Right now the information on Ronald20 is located in numerous places, including:

Note: Ronald20 has often added information that looks, at first glace, that it could possibly be true, but on further investigation proves to be false. One example was his repeated insertion of information about a "Stairway Of Death" onto the CBS Columbia Square. Another example was his insertion of the following info into the KDIS article "KDIS abandoned Radio Disney entirely in 2006, and went news." [1]. It is my opinion that the information entered by this editor can not be trusted and that absolutely everything this editor has entered on the Wikipedia probably needs verification.

[edit] August 2005

  • 8 August 2005...He's at it again. I don't have time to fix this stuff right now. I did a couple of reverts to two articles, but he mixes in good edits with nonsensical ones, and it's hard to follow!! Jlam4911 03:20, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

      • 14 articles edits including TV stations and Spanish-language TV programs.
      • created Deportes Telemundo [4]] which I'm not sure what it's for. Deportes Telemundo is the {cable?} sports channel for Telemundo. The article currently is just a bunch of empty sections from A TO Z.
      • deleted the Technical information section in the KNBC article (quickly reverted). BlankVerse ∅ 11:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

      • large # of edits, mostly adding network categories to Spanish-language TV shows. It looks like all of the edits were good ones. BlankVerse ∅ 12:38, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

      • 15 edits to most LA area radio stations. I had to do one revert for KNXT where Ronald20 deleted the info about KNXT originally being an LA area TV station and I also reverted KNXT (TV). BlankVerse ∅ 17:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

      • a single upload, Image:Mike Jones - Back Then.ogg, a 3,892KB sized file!, tagged with {{musicpromo-screenshot}} (Music Video-Promotional screenshots - fair use). The file is not currently linked to any articles. Presumably it is intended for the Mike Jones article.

      • 7 edits on 4 articles. Added {{US-bcast-stub}} back to KNBC. It's a borderline stub (10 sentences, plus other info) so I decided to leave the stub template for now. Added the broadcast stub to KTRK-TV, which is definately too large to be a stub, so I removed it.

      • Prematurely ended the Chrysler PT Cruiser in 2006, when a web search showed the current model is scheduled till 2008, with a replacement PT Cruiser planned for 2008. Added red-links to Metro Local for every single bus depot!
      • short 2 revert war over KNBC-TV

      • mostly harmless edits
    • 204.108.72.10 (talk · contribs)
      • removed the stub template from the stubby KLVE, plus removed my HTML comments saying "no longer a stub!" from several articles. BlankVerse ∅ 08:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
    • 204.108.72.10 (talk · contribs)
      • deleted HTML comments from KNSD and other articles.

      • Added some bogus comment on the CBS Columbia Square article. I sent him a warning on his talk page, but again, I doubt it will help. IMO, I think we need to indefinitely block Ronald, as he's caused a large amount of vandalism and he doesn't seem to stop. --ApolloBoy 02:30, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

    • 66.81.148.221 (talk · contribs) created a template for News Corp with an incomplete listing of tv stations. Meanwhile, 66.81.148.100 (talk · contribs) and 66.81.148.44 (talk · contribs) added radio stations to the template for Viacom. The problem here is that they own over 180 stations, and I don't think all of them should be included in a template, as it would take up too much space. 66.81.148.44 (talk · contribs) also started a template for Clear Channel Communications. They own over 1,000 stations, so that would eventually pose the same problem as radio station in the Viacom template. These are all based on corporate templates created by Kurieeto (talk · contribs).
