Thanks for Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/1pixel prompt handling. Georgewilliamherbert ( talk) 01:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I have seen your username around quite a bit and the community seems to respect your opinion. I was wondering if you could do me a favor and check the debate on my alleged sockpuppetry. I am really trying to understand the lynchmob logic. The debate is here. Here is what happened. I created Bowie State University, Department of Public Safety a month or so ago. User:Lord Pistachio placed an AfD tag on it. The article went into debate. As I am typing my case on my MDT (computer), my partner (in the Police Department that I work for) asked what I was typing so intently. I told him the whole story. He wanted to comment on it. Now, a few weeks ago, I helped him create a user account so maybe he would take interest in Wikipedia. His interest was marginal at best and didn't do anything with the account since then. When I told him about my AfD he seemed to get interested. I knew at the time that his input wouldn't really help my AfD, but I thought that if it got him excited about wikipedia, it was worth losing a minor article that I had written. Sock (or meat) puppetry didn't even cross my mind at the time. I can understand how it would seem as though it is a sockpuppet, but if you look at my record and my contributions, I don't think I even fit the puppeteer "profile." And if you look at the alleged "sockpuppet," if I did create it as such, I didn't even try to hide the fact that it was a sockpuppet. I'm sorry about the soapbox rant...this is just so annoying. I appreciate your time and input. Thanks! (Tapadh leibh! is that right?) Sallicio ( talk) 02:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)Sallicio
From seeing edit summarys on some pages I watch, I noticed that you reverted and blocked the above mentioned user. Thing is, looking at his edit history, the contributions seem fine - just some appropriate looking ref formating. I can't see the reason for reverting, much less banning?! Maybe I can't see it, but it seems puzzling... AdamSmithee ( talk) 09:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Media:User_Triona_self.jpg, I'm not sure if I want to have it zapped yet, the RTV issue was a vandal getting my AIM from my userpage, which made me reconsider having comprehensive contact information there.

Thatcher suggested I follow up with a couple of Checkusers directly. If you look here here, on this RFAR case I had put up a motion for a proper RFCU here. It's based on accumulated evidence here on the Evidence page that one or more users involved are the long-banned User:BryanFromPalatine. Thatcher has also weighed on on that Proposed Decision talk page, in the section directly above the one I linked. The evidence is based on a combination of IPs, geolocation (all the users appear to be within 5-15 miles of BryanFromPalatine's known location of Palatine, IL), behavior, and language. Any review would be appreciated. I apologize for the amount of evidence, but it was a complex one. Lawrence § t/ e 18:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello - I'm a Wikipedia user and occasional editor of several years' cheerful and happy standing, but somehow about 6 months ago my IP address ran afoul of some administrator and I started getting "Your IP address is blocked" messages after the most innocuous attempts at correction. I just don't have the stamina to follow all the twists and turns to figure out this business of blocking and how one properly protests it. Anyway, I saw your name attached to the most recent "You're blocked" notice and your talk page looks friendly ... so here I am. Can you explain, how did this happen to my address? Is there a plain English explanation? Who is the malefactor who's befouling whole swaths of IP address such that mine is considered suspect? I realize I can, of course, log in as myself (Rousse) and carry on making corrections as I've always done, but I would prefer to know what has happened and whether anything can be fixed. It really seems like a ridiculous situation from my narrow little window on the workings of the mighty Wikipedia. (Or could this possibly be my comeuppance for having dared enter into the edit wars about those lovely and oh-so-wise representatives of the American political mind-set, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham? I got several angry reactions on my talk page about the latter a year or so ago ... sometimes I wonder about the mental stability - or the superior technical knowhow, more to the point - of the people I tangled with. But this is probably liberal paranoia; I've mostly stayed away from controversial figures' pages of late.)
Anyway, I'd appreciate a real person's assistance in straightening this out, or in pointing me to someone else who has the time for it. Sincere thanks, in advance - Rousse ( talk) 17:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

These two accounts claim to be roommates. Z is blocked, and S is caught in the autoblock. How do we resolve this? I've asked East718, the blocking admin, to undo the block at least temporarily so we can all have a pow wow. What do you think? We have to do something about this roommate deal because it's a monkey wrench in the checkuser works, but it's also a convenient excuse for any user who wants to double their fun.

Hey Alison,
I don't think our paths have crossed much, but I know that we share a wonderful common friend in Fvasconcellos. :) I hope that the New Year's being good to you! :) I'm sorry to bother you, but I had something earnest to Talk about and I'm sure that you'll be kind enough to Listen.
The promotion of VanTucky's article on Domestic sheep to Featured Article set me thinking again about the Core Contest, which a lot of us participated in, back when November was crossing over into December last year? It's been about two months, and there's been no decision, so I'm guessing that it must be very hard to decide between so many good articles?
So I was looking at all my shelves of delicious canned food from my garden's harvest last year and thinking that I don't need money anyway, when some wonderfully good and hard-working Wikipedians really do need it. I participated mainly for the fun of it — and maybe a little for the vanity of it, which is scarcely a noble reason. :P So I'd like to withdraw my entry, on Universe, to make your decision easier and swifter; maybe it wasn't in the running anyway, but I'd like to do whatever lies within my little scope to help those who need it.

Hi Alison. Sorry to bother you when you are busy, but could you take a look at Talk:List of massacres#Consensus if you have a moment. There's been a lot of edit warring at the article historically, and we've managed to (more or less) restrict to a voluntary 0RR during discussion on the article talk page to agree what the article's scope should be. We have now pretty much agreed a way forward, which is to restrict the article to events which are known in Wikipedia as massacres. This solution immediately devolves any arguments about sources and what exactly constitutes a massacre away from the list article and onto the individual articles, which seems proper to me. Anyway, I am keen to move forwards but User:Sarah777 has stated at User talk:John#No consensus that she is unable to accept the consensus and requests another admin to look at it. We have spent a good long time discussing it and Sarah has made a lot of criticisms of how the article is now (which are merited) and of our proposed way forwards, but without suggesting a more constructive solution. I feel she may accept you as a neutral party. Please see what you think. Thanks in advance. -- John ( talk) 22:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I have recieved a phone call from a very close friend of mine and told me that a false Wikipedia user page was created under his name, and whoever made it had posted rude and racial remarks on other articles, including the DeKnikker User page itself with lude remarks and other vandalism. What is more interesting about the article edits posted in the Contributions is the fact that all the edits show suspicious remarks from other people at the high school that we go to. It is his request as is mine that we find the IP address of the computer that made the false account, added inappropriate remarks, and vandalized a number of pages. Then we can proceed to article deletion. But it is his request that we pinpoint the culprit first. I would like to thank those of whom support us on this problem.

I did not participate in "blatant vandalism" either. Maybe there was a good reason for checkuser, as you indicate.

Hello, I have seen your username around quite a bit and the community seems to respect your opinion. I was wondering if you could do me a favor and check the debate on my alleged sockpuppetry. I am really trying to understand the lynchmob logic. The debate is here. Here is what happened. I created Bowie State University, Department of Public Safety a month or so ago. User:Lord Pistachio placed an AfD tag on it. The article went into debate. As I am typing my case on my MDT (computer), my partner (in the Police Department that I work for) asked what I was typing so intently. I told him the whole story. He wanted to comment on it. Now, a few weeks ago, I helped him create a user account so maybe he would take interest in Wikipedia. His interest was marginal at best and didn't do anything with the account since then. When I told him about my AfD he seemed to get interested. I knew at the time that his input wouldn't really help my AfD, but I thought that if it got him excited about wikipedia, it was worth losing a minor article that I had written. Sock (or meat) puppetry didn't even cross my mind at the time. I can understand how it would seem as though it is a sockpuppet, but if you look at my record and my contributions, I don't think I even fit the puppeteer "profile." And if you look at the alleged "sockpuppet," if I did create it as such, I didn't even try to hide the fact that it was a sockpuppet. I'm sorry about the soapbox rant...this is just so annoying. I appreciate your time and input. Thanks! (Tapadh leibh! is that right?) Sallicio ( talk) 02:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)Sallicio

Thatcher suggested I follow up with a couple of Checkusers directly. If you look here here, on this RFAR case I had put up a motion for a proper RFCU here. It's based on accumulated evidence here on the Evidence page that one or more users involved are the long-banned User:BryanFromPalatine. Thatcher has also weighed on on that Proposed Decision talk page, in the section directly above the one I linked. The evidence is based on a combination of IPs, geolocation (all the users appear to be within 5-15 miles of BryanFromPalatine's known location of Palatine, IL), behavior, and language. Any review would be appreciated. I apologize for the amount of evidence, but it was a complex one. Lawrence § t/ e 18:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello - I'm a Wikipedia user and occasional editor of several years' cheerful and happy standing, but somehow about 6 months ago my IP address ran afoul of some administrator and I started getting "Your IP address is blocked" messages after the most innocuous attempts at correction. I just don't have the stamina to follow all the twists and turns to figure out this business of blocking and how one properly protests it. Anyway, I saw your name attached to the most recent "You're blocked" notice and your talk page looks friendly ... so here I am. Can you explain, how did this happen to my address? Is there a plain English explanation? Who is the malefactor who's befouling whole swaths of IP address such that mine is considered suspect? I realize I can, of course, log in as myself (Rousse) and carry on making corrections as I've always done, but I would prefer to know what has happened and whether anything can be fixed. It really seems like a ridiculous situation from my narrow little window on the workings of the mighty Wikipedia. (Or could this possibly be my comeuppance for having dared enter into the edit wars about those lovely and oh-so-wise representatives of the American political mind-set, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham? I got several angry reactions on my talk page about the latter a year or so ago ... sometimes I wonder about the mental stability - or the superior technical knowhow, more to the point - of the people I tangled with. But this is probably liberal paranoia; I've mostly stayed away from controversial figures' pages of late.)

Although checkuser has confirmed that the following users are sockpuppets of banned User:NisarKand:
Both accounts are still not banned. These accounts were created in July 2007, 4 months after NisarKand was banned, and have been used to not only evade the ban, but also to edit articles that are semi-protected against IP/New user-vandalism. Here is a list of confirmed sockpuppets of NisarKand, some of them having racist names for the sole purpose to insult certain ethnic and religious groups. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.83.140.191 ( talk) 12:29, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Alison, could you take a look at User talk:Stagalj. The user has been blocked as a sock puppet of Velebit ( talk · contribs · count)- Purger ( talk · contribs · count). They requested an unblock. I would like to know if checkuser evidence is consistent with the sock puppetry conclusion, or not. Jehochman Talk 14:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Can you confirm if the two are related (if possible per the Privacy Policy), and if so, if there's any more socks that need washing?

Hey Alison,
I don't think our paths have crossed much, but I know that we share a wonderful common friend in Fvasconcellos. :) I hope that the New Year's being good to you! :) I'm sorry to bother you, but I had something earnest to Talk about and I'm sure that you'll be kind enough to Listen.
The promotion of VanTucky's article on Domestic sheep to Featured Article set me thinking again about the Core Contest, which a lot of us participated in, back when November was crossing over into December last year? It's been about two months, and there's been no decision, so I'm guessing that it must be very hard to decide between so many good articles?
So I was looking at all my shelves of delicious canned food from my garden's harvest last year and thinking that I don't need money anyway, when some wonderfully good and hard-working Wikipedians really do need it. I participated mainly for the fun of it — and maybe a little for the vanity of it, which is scarcely a noble reason. :P So I'd like to withdraw my entry, on Universe, to make your decision easier and swifter; maybe it wasn't in the running anyway, but I'd like to do whatever lies within my little scope to help those who need it.

Hi Alison. Sorry to bother you when you are busy, but could you take a look at Talk:List of massacres#Consensus if you have a moment. There's been a lot of edit warring at the article historically, and we've managed to (more or less) restrict to a voluntary 0RR during discussion on the article talk page to agree what the article's scope should be. We have now pretty much agreed a way forward, which is to restrict the article to events which are known in Wikipedia as massacres. This solution immediately devolves any arguments about sources and what exactly constitutes a massacre away from the list article and onto the individual articles, which seems proper to me. Anyway, I am keen to move forwards but User:Sarah777 has stated at User talk:John#No consensus that she is unable to accept the consensus and requests another admin to look at it. We have spent a good long time discussing it and Sarah has made a lot of criticisms of how the article is now (which are merited) and of our proposed way forwards, but without suggesting a more constructive solution. I feel she may accept you as a neutral party. Please see what you think. Thanks in advance. -- John ( talk) 22:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

The IP is the vocal one and is uncivil as seen here and here. They were all made within a twenty-four hour period and made identical revisions to this article (concerning the Skateboard and Artist subsections).

Hello, I have recieved a phone call from a very close friend of mine and told me that a false Wikipedia user page was created under his name, and whoever made it had posted rude and racial remarks on other articles, including the DeKnikker User page itself with lude remarks and other vandalism. What is more interesting about the article edits posted in the Contributions is the fact that all the edits show suspicious remarks from other people at the high school that we go to. It is his request as is mine that we find the IP address of the computer that made the false account, added inappropriate remarks, and vandalized a number of pages. Then we can proceed to article deletion. But it is his request that we pinpoint the culprit first. I would like to thank those of whom support us on this problem.

Given you weren't involved the first time around with this (it was an SSP), check my deleted contribs for the last SSP I filed.
