Maiorana

Hello PalkiaX50, I noticed you reverted an edit made by a user:90.204.192.47, but their edit is actual beneficial and accurate. The English surname Maiorana has been in this country since the Anglo-Saxon period and is from the Old English language. Thank you,--Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 23:39, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

@User:Chuck Entz, you reverted that addition last time. What do you have to say on the matter?

I reverted it as a precautionary measure, because the IP who did it was spending a lot of time adding surname and given-name categories that had no relation to the entries whatsoever. In this case, they added Category:English surnames from Old English to maiorana, which is lower-case, has no English section, and which is easily recognized as the Latin name for a common herb. Given the obviously wrong edit involving the same name, I saw no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt when they added it to the appendix.

They may have just been working off of a list and ignoring what was in the entries they were adding the categories to, or they may have been running a bot, but either way they were a recurring headache for several admins that were cleaning up after them, and there were at least two of us that blocked them under different IPs to try to get them to stop.
