Hi, I just wanted to know why you deleted the Emile Rajaona page for the reason that it lacks significance despite me reiterating to you that he was one of the most influential figures of Madagascar after the end of the French colonial rule?

Hello,
I noticed you reverted my edit about Booth having a relationship with Bel Powley. I even provided this source from the Los Angeles Times, which refers to Booth as Powley's "boyfriend." It might not prove they're in a relationship, but it does prove that they've dated at least. Now the Los Angeles Times is a reliable source, so why did you revert it?

Hi there. I see you have been involved in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Steelgym. I wanted to raise some additional developments. While user SteelGym has rightly been blocked for a promotional/shared username violation, it would appear that the related COI may remain unresolved. Since the block a new user, Sobhakarthik, got involved in creating a new new article for SteelGym and editing Kunal Gir. It may be assumed that this is the replacement of user SteelGym. It appears that this new user and the IP addresses are likely related to the blocked user. Now while I agree that there are no concerns here from a username violation perspective, I have a strong suspicion that the editors have an undeclared COI and sockpuppetry concerns may still exist if the new user continues promotional edits around the related topics. I'm also including @ There'sNoTime: who administered the original block. Regards, pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 09:04, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
Quick question no need to argue I thought exemption #1 and #4 of WP:3RRNO allowed me to fix my revert. Chilicheese22 ( talk) 15:17, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi user:Bbb23 I just wanted to bring to your attention that user:contrvenum has reverted the infobox today back to the disputed information that was currently there yesterday. An I didn't want to revert or do anything to the article before coming and consulting with you, just to avoid any unforeseen consequences. I feel that he is abusing the 24 hour revert rule because he waited as he did yesterday 24 hours and just changed it back, not wanting to talk this out on the talk page. Here are the links to his reverts. [5] [6] Chilicheese22 ( talk) 21:52, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Appreciate you getting back to me and addressing my concern, I just wanted to notify you and make you aware before making the revert. Furthermore, if you look at the edit summary I did warn him that if he continues it is a clear violation of WP:DISRUPTSIGNS. Anyhow, I'm sure that you will be monitoring the situation. Chilicheese22 ( talk) 23:10, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Just wanted to know the policy behind the edit on this [ | diff page in question]. A [ | help page] entry from years ago states:
Would this policy (if it is a policy) apply to editors who delete concerns from other editors off of their own talk pages prior to their being banned? Or does this not apply to talk pages? My justification would be that it benefits the community being able to see what other editors are bringing to this person's page, even more so after admin makes a determination that they did indeed commit ban-able actions. I know that this information is always available in the diffs, but assembling it back onto the page makes the transparency already built into Wikipedia more easily accessible to editors. A link from you to the answer for me to read on my own is perfectly fine. Thanks — Spintendo Talk 09:56, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Bbb23. Could you add sockpuppet tags on to these four account's pages? The four accounts are: User:Kitfoxxe, User:BayShrimp, User:Thoughtmonkey, and the last one is User:Skylark777. All have been blocked as socks of Borock (and one was an alternate account of Borock) but just for the sake of consistency, could you add tags to all four accounts? 92.30.178.11 ( talk) 17:53, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
Not all these user's edits are problematic. On the contrary, for an IP that recently stated editing profusely, the quality of some of the edits (mostly maintenance) and edit summaries demonstrate an extraordinary knowledge of procedures, policies, and guidelines that even surpass that of many admins. The obvious concern is one of block evasion. This justifies a CU search and if positive, a discrete block, and of any other accounts or sleepers. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 19:55, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23. I understand you're busy, but I sent this to Materialscientist, who told me I should contact the CU who handled Lysvincent, who appears to have been you. I have a suspicion that the user JustofiedT147AG is a sockpuppet of the banned and confirmed sockpuppeteer Lysvincent ( talk · contribs) (who also used "Lysvincent 2nd"). I was not sure whether this was warranted to go through a long drawn-out SPI case, and thought it may be unique as Lysvincent edited quite a few months ago. I am quite sure they are both from Hong Kong; Justofied first registered on zh.wikipedia.org, where Lysvincent also created a page. They share many of the same edit summaries and topics (EDM artists, music charts, discography edits), some of the user page markup is the same (Lysvincent created at least two accounts that he used the Picture of the Day template on). Their edit summaries are also quite similar: one of their habits of "added single" and the like in lower case letters (see here and here). One of their common topics was Weak (AJR song); Lysvincent created the page here, Justofied has edited and uploaded the cover art). Furthermore, Lysvincent created at least one account to update charts; Justofied has already set about doing this so soon after registering. Lysvincent also said one of their favourite artists was Imagine Dragons; Justofied has edited their discography quite a bit as well: here and here). Same with Axwell and Ingrosso, another of their favourites ( [8] and [9]), and Adam Lambert ( here and here). If you think I should file an SPI, would you please be able to look into it soon if this is not enough? I think if it is (or isn't), it should be fairly open-and-shut. Thanks.

Hey Bbb23 I think that User Tiseptiko has created a new account called Southrevol2007 because this account was founded only a couple of days after you had blocked Ilisiapedia and if you go and compare the two accounts, the edits they're doing is on the same pages. They also have the same editing style and continually spam edit the same pages. For example this page [19] right here after 5 days of Ilisiapedia being blocked, SouthRevol2007 shows up out of nowhere and spam edits just like Ilisiapedia, but what I think really made me suspicious of this new user is he cites the same references (Please note that this citation is of a twitter user that is not verified nor does he even have 1,500 followers) as Ilisiapedia (Ilisiapedia uses the reference at the battle of aden page to justify one of his edits here [20]) at the Abyan Conflict here [21]. I think that just reasonable suspicion is enough to connect him to User Tiseptiko if not you can always do a check user (if you need me to fill out a form for a sock puppet investigation just ask). Anyways I will continue to look into the matter and if there is anything else I will update you. Chilicheese22 ( talk) 21:12, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I appreciate your support regarding a run for adminship; I've outlined my work record, rationale for running, answers to questions, and other pertinent bits on my talkpage. An ORCP a few months ago was favorable, but I wanted to wait a bit longer until my schedule cleared up and I was in the right mindset.
As of now, I'm very grateful for the offers of two admins - Dweller and Ritchie333 - to serve as noms. Admin abilities would remove a layer of bureaucracy by precluding my need of the "requesting admin action" status. This would greatly facilitate my ability to clerk cases.
Since we've worked together extensively at SPI, I was wondering if you might be willing to put in a few good words as a co-nom. If you are cautious about having too many co-noms, I fully understand. I am only asking because I believe that you have been in a unique position to review my SPI work. I would say that my best SPI work has probably been OfficialPankajPatidar/ Ashishchopra778, Motivação, and Xdeluna. Please tell me if you disagree - I'd be glad to know.
Thanks again, and I hope you've had a happy 4th.

Special:Undelete?fuzzy=1. Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term.Hi Reddogsix, A page I created was deleted under A7: Article about a real person, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. The page is Jon Kieran
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jon_Kieran
I don't remember what exactly was written there but likely content was indeed missing with more details that would explain the importance and significance of the subject. Sorry, my mistake. But, that's not to say that the subject is not important - the article certainly belongs on Wikipedia, with some revisions to flush out the importance etc.
Jon Kieran has been nominated as a political candidate in the riding of Don Valley West, in the Province of Ontario, Canada to run against the Premier of Ontario in her own riding. This is significant to many people living in Ontario, and to voters researching the candidates in the upcoming Ontario election.
I would request that you please restore this page, at which point I will make sure to add the required content to indicate "the importance or significance of the subject."

Hello Bbb23, long time no talk! I have a bit of an issue that I'm not sure how to handle. For the past couple of weeks a user has been reverting many of my edits (I get the notifications), only to reinstate my changes into their own edits. A good example (there are many more like this) is here: I made this minor edit [22], which was reverted by the user [23]. They then reinstated my change into their very next edit here [24]. I politely asked the user what they were doing and why [25], and they reverted my question with the edit summary "Okay, I'm trying to start all over and see if I can make more improvements than you did" [26]. I have no clue if this is a tacit understanding for them to stop or if they are simply trying to tell me what their (misguided) mission is. I know this user has been editing frequently for some time, and this is the first time I've had any run-ins with them - I'm not sure if this is a regular issue or not, or how to handle this - but it is certainly getting annoying signing on every day to find 3 notifications of reverts only to find that my edits were good and reinstated by the user into the page...seems fishy... Thanks for any comments or help. Garchy ( talk) 17:32, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

WP:SOCK states that "If you believe someone is using sock puppets or meat puppets, you should create a report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations." There is strong evidence that account is a sockpuppet of a master account based on the provided link. There is also ample precedence for WP:SPI investigating instances of paid editing where socks are involved. Just because the master is unknown doesn't mean there aren't two accounts at play here.--v/r - T P 01:55, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
I want also to continue what I said just above – about both the immediate issue with the SPI, but also reminding you of the past incident with Sizeofint – by drawing your attention as well to the discussion that, in part, involves you, at Wikipedia talk:Harassment#Linking to public advertisements to recruit paid Wikipedia editors. I am concerned that there may be a pattern here, and I hope that you will understand my concerns as good-faith. It's important not to regard the use of the checkuser permission as a rigid, algorithmic decision-making process. There are also matters of human judgment and working with a community, including a willingness to listen to community concerns. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 22:31, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Bbb23, I received an alert that you deleted the music album page I'd created for the upcoming Archspire release Relentless Mutation. The following was given as a reason for the speedy deletion: (A9: Article about a musical recording or list of musical recordings where no articles exist for the artists, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject) based on Wiki's Criteria for speedy deletion. I can't argue with that reason - Archspire didn't have a wiki page at the time - however, I just created one for them, and it is quite extensive and well sourced. I believe it suits wiki guidelines at the moment and I plan to build it out more. As a result, could you please un-delete my article for Relentless Mutation?

Hi Bbb23. I currently have the longest-standing open SPI report at WP:SPI, which is coming up on a month since I raised it.

In answer to your question, "If you think there's sock puppetry, open an SPI. If you don't, then what is the purpose of a CU?", there's no time overlap in editing so no SPI offence.
PayTechGuy created the material in his sandbox, User:PayTechGuy/sandbox. JbanksBTM copied it to live, PayTech of Things.
Either PayTechGuy saw the COI/UAA problems with his username, switched to the JbanksBTM account and moved his own material to mainspace, which merits a {{ uw-agf-sock}} caution, and a gentle admonishment not to use his old account again;
or they're two different people, in which case JbanksBTM is robbing PayTechGuy of credit for his work, which merits a whole different set of c&p responses.
I thought that was a sufficient reason to ask if they were the same person - obviously I was wrong. I'll leave the whole issue in your hands to deal with as you will. Cabayi ( talk) 14:42, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Bbb23! I was wondering if you could help me out with something - I have a student with WikiEd ( Umbereenbmirza) who is editing out of Turkey via a VPN. I helped her set up an account, but she hasn't been able to edit since her IP address is blocked. It wasn't for anything that she did, it just happens to be part of Redstation Limited, a web host provider or colocation provider. (If I understand all of that correctly.) She needs to have an IP block exemption, but I've never done one of those before and since I work with WikiEd (as Shalor (Wiki Ed)), I didn't know if it would be inappropriate for me to do this myself. I saw that one of the things that is recommended is to get a CheckUser to verify the need, so I thought I'd ask if you could help with this.
I didn't know if I would be able to do the IP block exemption thing myself since I work with WikiEd, as I wasn't sure if that would be a conflict of interest here. I don't think it would be super common and WikiEd deals predominantly with students located in the United States. We do have some students outside of the US, but they're in the minority for the most part so it wouldn't be something I would do more than a couple times a year, if that. My inclination is to allow others to do it, though - just so it's all on the up and up. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 21:45, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi there; I have found a newly-created page Lists of LGBT political office-holders in the United Kingdom, which is a very large page for a newbie to have created. Its content seems rather familiar; investigating my deleted contribs I have turned up LGBT politicians in the United Kingdom. The latter was created by BlobBlob98 who you blocked in March 2017 as a sock of Marquis de la Eirron, and deleted their pages (this one included) under WP:CSD#G5. A number of their deleted edits were to pages having the pattern of "Category:Fooian politicians convicted of crimes".
Lists of LGBT political office-holders in the United Kingdom was created yesterday by HeyMate29, an account which was created the previous day: 21:03, 12 July 2017 (UTC). Their very first edit was to create ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Zambian politicians convicted of crimes, a page which has not previously existed, but whose name fits the pattern of "Category:Fooian politicians convicted of crimes".

You again deleted my comment about the unblock request for User:Moltenflesh on their talkpage. As WP:BLOCK clearly and simply states that Any user may comment on an unblock request, I believe there was no reason to remove my comment. As the comment I made is allowable under WP:BLOCK (as any user may comment on an unblock request), and was not disruptive, but was in all good faith criticism of the block, then there is no basis for removal. You have mistaken criticism for disruption, however recall that editors are free to criticize administrator action. To try and resolve this though, rather than reverting you deletion (which I believe I have every right to do) can you please explain why you didn't note that it wasn't a slam dunk in either the block log or the user page. Or why you didn't make an entry at all in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Perfect Orange Sphere? Thanks! Nfitz ( talk) 15:57, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

All the information I cited was from the primary source. You may not have agreed with it but it's indisputible that Fletcher accuses Huff of deliberately sabotaging the hearings, and that Rymer went out of her way to ridicule Fletcher. All the other incidents (The fact that Roger Lang admitted the knife could have been different, the fact that the shoes weren't unique) were all matters of record. Making mention of it is entirely fair; declaring it impermissible seems a bit like a cowardly dodge unless there's something I'm missing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.61.201 ( talk) 03:35, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

You might want to compare Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Humanweb/Archive to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Utbindas/Archive.

I saw your comment at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Perfect Orange Sphere and I appreciate you stepping in to do a checkuser (and find another one). I don't doubt your conclusions wrt Moltenflesh, but I also don't doubt that it is, in fact, the same person. I've seen where IPs from a wide variety of real-world places seem to be making the same exact edits, and I presume this editor is using a selection of devices and proxies to obscure themselves from a technical standpoint. Hell, anyone can buy access to a botnet if they look hard enough. So my question to you is, is the SPI wrt Moltenflesh going to be closed due to the technical evidence, or is there some process for moving forward based on the behavioral evidence? ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:16, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Following the advice you gave me a few months ago, as same problem seems to be = is arising with a certain editor I suspect is the ghost of [34] and its numberless socks: same tactics, same obsession with weight, size etc. used in article on her sons as were used on Marie Antoinette's article, then forcing & using the revert method in order to start an edit war. If you have time, please check the following:

A user known as Nairncrosstrees, who I suspect to be a sockpuppet for Orwellianlocksmith has been performing edits to David Toscano. The first edit was an identical copy of the edits attacking David Toscano that Orwellianlocksmith. Since the primary, they've simply stated the margin and the opponent's name. That gets to a second concern about neutrality and the user's identity. The user is also focused only on David Toscano.

Ok so. I've been looking at all sides and you are all (it appears, please correct me if I'm wrong) partially correct AND partially wrong. YES the law DOES outweigh Wikipedia's policy, BUT Wikipedia copyright policy quotes and cites those laws numerous times throughout the copyright problem/ infringement description. That being said- with permission, and proof of given permission as well as credit to the original owner of the text- you can directly use the original text as directed by the original owner, but to an extent. You can't copy the owner's work word for word without citing the text correctly. Also to be duly noted- The Wikipedia policy does state that copyright policy will be assumed of all text entered into the Wikipedia. There's no need to say anyone has a lack of competence, and the fact that you-@Softlavender - said that @IP isn't working for the betterment of Wikipedia is hypocritical. You saying that and threatening to have someone's account taken down puts you as the obstruction of betterment. Doesn't it? By logical reasoning? Again if I'm wrong any of this please correct me.

Hello, I would like to request an unblock for Algebra2Trig that was falsely accused of a sockpuppet account several months ago. We happened to be in the same location (hence same IP) but we were operating under different computers. I am not the same user as Diabedia and my intentions are nothing like that user’s. Furthermore, my interests are in mathematics and computer science, while Diabedia’s interests do not match mine. I clearly made a new account because I lost the ability to edit under Algebra2Trig, which I am requesting to unblock.

my talk page began to receive spams and accusations) of my "ask_someone_else_to_do_it" telling you that you should not remove maintenance templates without fixing the problems with this kind of remark. Heck, even if you don't like the SPI, you should not equate a normal Wikipedia process (which was endorsed by a clerk, who had nothing whatsoever to do with WAM) to blatant racist trolling, as you did above with
I ignored the spams, keeping them as a history on my talk page as I normally would do,( diff) and
this continues after the event(which could only refer to the current SPI). It's not clear why you are badmouthing me like this on an admin's talk page, but you really should stop it. (And while it's completely unrelated, normally if someone blanks an outrageously offensive remark that has no place anywhere on Wikipedia, even on your talk page, you should not reinstate it even if you want to "keep a record". I'm reiterating this here because you appear to have ignored my previous message on the topic.)
Bbb23, you may not be willing to perform a CU to find out who this guy is. I have legitimately never heard of Wikipedia "invit[ing people] to edit ... article[s] with possible typographical errors"; it may refer to the text of the template message I added, but that but that is only visible to people who happen to be reading the article, which is on an obscure enough topic that we didn't have an article on it until last month, and the editor claims not to be Indonesian themselves.
But would you mind blocking the account until it retracts the bit about how I ... feel that [the SPI] goes against my first amendment rights against libel (which is a legit crime) and have grounds for a suit
. I've really had enough of this whole mess; I don't even feel comfortable blanking the offending message because I suspect (per the above) that Rochelimit will just restore it without explanation.

Hello,
I noticed you reverted my edit about Booth having a relationship with Bel Powley. I even provided this source from the Los Angeles Times, which refers to Booth as Powley's "boyfriend." It might not prove they're in a relationship, but it does prove that they've dated at least. Now the Los Angeles Times is a reliable source, so why did you revert it?

Hi there. I see you have been involved in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Steelgym. I wanted to raise some additional developments. While user SteelGym has rightly been blocked for a promotional/shared username violation, it would appear that the related COI may remain unresolved. Since the block a new user, Sobhakarthik, got involved in creating a new new article for SteelGym and editing Kunal Gir. It may be assumed that this is the replacement of user SteelGym. It appears that this new user and the IP addresses are likely related to the blocked user. Now while I agree that there are no concerns here from a username violation perspective, I have a strong suspicion that the editors have an undeclared COI and sockpuppetry concerns may still exist if the new user continues promotional edits around the related topics. I'm also including @ There'sNoTime: who administered the original block. Regards, pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 09:04, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi user:Bbb23 I just wanted to bring to your attention that user:contrvenum has reverted the infobox today back to the disputed information that was currently there yesterday. An I didn't want to revert or do anything to the article before coming and consulting with you, just to avoid any unforeseen consequences. I feel that he is abusing the 24 hour revert rule because he waited as he did yesterday 24 hours and just changed it back, not wanting to talk this out on the talk page. Here are the links to his reverts. [5] [6] Chilicheese22 ( talk) 21:52, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Appreciate you getting back to me and addressing my concern, I just wanted to notify you and make you aware before making the revert.

Just wanted to know the policy behind the edit on this [ | diff page in question]. A [ | help page] entry from years ago states:
Would this policy (if it is a policy) apply to editors who delete concerns from other editors off of their own talk pages prior to their being banned? Or does this not apply to talk pages? My justification would be that it benefits the community being able to see what other editors are bringing to this person's page, even more so after admin makes a determination that they did indeed commit ban-able actions. I know that this information is always available in the diffs, but assembling it back onto the page makes the transparency already built into Wikipedia more easily accessible to editors. A link from you to the answer for me to read on my own is perfectly fine. Thanks — Spintendo Talk 09:56, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Bbb23. Could you add sockpuppet tags on to these four account's pages? The four accounts are: User:Kitfoxxe, User:BayShrimp, User:Thoughtmonkey, and the last one is User:Skylark777. All have been blocked as socks of Borock (and one was an alternate account of Borock) but just for the sake of consistency, could you add tags to all four accounts? 92.30.178.11 ( talk) 17:53, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
Not all these user's edits are problematic. On the contrary, for an IP that recently stated editing profusely, the quality of some of the edits (mostly maintenance) and edit summaries demonstrate an extraordinary knowledge of procedures, policies, and guidelines that even surpass that of many admins. The obvious concern is one of block evasion. This justifies a CU search and if positive, a discrete block, and of any other accounts or sleepers. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 19:55, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23. I understand you're busy, but I sent this to Materialscientist, who told me I should contact the CU who handled Lysvincent, who appears to have been you. I have a suspicion that the user JustofiedT147AG is a sockpuppet of the banned and confirmed sockpuppeteer Lysvincent ( talk · contribs) (who also used "Lysvincent 2nd"). I was not sure whether this was warranted to go through a long drawn-out SPI case, and thought it may be unique as Lysvincent edited quite a few months ago. I am quite sure they are both from Hong Kong; Justofied first registered on zh.wikipedia.org, where Lysvincent also created a page. They share many of the same edit summaries and topics (EDM artists, music charts, discography edits), some of the user page markup is the same (Lysvincent created at least two accounts that he used the Picture of the Day template on). Their edit summaries are also quite similar: one of their habits of "added single" and the like in lower case letters (see here and here). One of their common topics was Weak (AJR song); Lysvincent created the page here, Justofied has edited and uploaded the cover art). Furthermore, Lysvincent created at least one account to update charts; Justofied has already set about doing this so soon after registering. Lysvincent also said one of their favourite artists was Imagine Dragons; Justofied has edited their discography quite a bit as well: here and here). Same with Axwell and Ingrosso, another of their favourites ( [8] and [9]), and Adam Lambert ( here and here). If you think I should file an SPI, would you please be able to look into it soon if this is not enough? I think if it is (or isn't), it should be fairly open-and-shut. Thanks.

Hey Bbb23 I think that User Tiseptiko has created a new account called Southrevol2007 because this account was founded only a couple of days after you had blocked Ilisiapedia and if you go and compare the two accounts, the edits they're doing is on the same pages. They also have the same editing style and continually spam edit the same pages. For example this page [19] right here after 5 days of Ilisiapedia being blocked, SouthRevol2007 shows up out of nowhere and spam edits just like Ilisiapedia, but what I think really made me suspicious of this new user is he cites the same references (Please note that this citation is of a twitter user that is not verified nor does he even have 1,500 followers) as Ilisiapedia (Ilisiapedia uses the reference at the battle of aden page to justify one of his edits here [20]) at the Abyan Conflict here [21]. I think that just reasonable suspicion is enough to connect him to User Tiseptiko if not you can always do a check user (if you need me to fill out a form for a sock puppet investigation just ask). Anyways I will continue to look into the matter and if there is anything else I will update you. Chilicheese22 ( talk) 21:12, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I appreciate your support regarding a run for adminship; I've outlined my work record, rationale for running, answers to questions, and other pertinent bits on my talkpage. An ORCP a few months ago was favorable, but I wanted to wait a bit longer until my schedule cleared up and I was in the right mindset.
As of now, I'm very grateful for the offers of two admins - Dweller and Ritchie333 - to serve as noms. Admin abilities would remove a layer of bureaucracy by precluding my need of the "requesting admin action" status. This would greatly facilitate my ability to clerk cases.
Since we've worked together extensively at SPI, I was wondering if you might be willing to put in a few good words as a co-nom. If you are cautious about having too many co-noms, I fully understand. I am only asking because I believe that you have been in a unique position to review my SPI work. I would say that my best SPI work has probably been OfficialPankajPatidar/ Ashishchopra778, Motivação, and Xdeluna. Please tell me if you disagree - I'd be glad to know.
Thanks again, and I hope you've had a happy 4th.

URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jon_Kieran
I don't remember what exactly was written there but likely content was indeed missing with more details that would explain the importance and significance of the subject. Sorry, my mistake. But, that's not to say that the subject is not important - the article certainly belongs on Wikipedia, with some revisions to flush out the importance etc.
Jon Kieran has been nominated as a political candidate in the riding of Don Valley West, in the Province of Ontario, Canada to run against the Premier of Ontario in her own riding. This is significant to many people living in Ontario, and to voters researching the candidates in the upcoming Ontario election.

Hello Bbb23, long time no talk! I have a bit of an issue that I'm not sure how to handle. For the past couple of weeks a user has been reverting many of my edits (I get the notifications), only to reinstate my changes into their own edits. A good example (there are many more like this) is here: I made this minor edit [22], which was reverted by the user [23]. They then reinstated my change into their very next edit here [24]. I politely asked the user what they were doing and why [25], and they reverted my question with the edit summary "Okay, I'm trying to start all over and see if I can make more improvements than you did" [26]. I have no clue if this is a tacit understanding for them to stop or if they are simply trying to tell me what their (misguided) mission is. I know this user has been editing frequently for some time, and this is the first time I've had any run-ins with them - I'm not sure if this is a regular issue or not, or how to handle this - but it is certainly getting annoying signing on every day to find 3 notifications of reverts only to find that my edits were good and reinstated by the user into the page...seems fishy...

WP:SOCK states that "If you believe someone is using sock puppets or meat puppets, you should create a report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations." There is strong evidence that account is a sockpuppet of a master account based on the provided link. There is also ample precedence for WP:SPI investigating instances of paid editing where socks are involved. Just because the master is unknown doesn't mean there aren't two accounts at play here.--v/r - T P 01:55, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
I want also to continue what I said just above – about both the immediate issue with the SPI, but also reminding you of the past incident with Sizeofint – by drawing your attention as well to the discussion that, in part, involves you, at Wikipedia talk:Harassment#Linking to public advertisements to recruit paid Wikipedia editors. I am concerned that there may be a pattern here, and I hope that you will understand my concerns as good-faith. It's important not to regard the use of the checkuser permission as a rigid, algorithmic decision-making process.

Hello, Bbb23, I received an alert that you deleted the music album page I'd created for the upcoming Archspire release Relentless Mutation. The following was given as a reason for the speedy deletion: (A9: Article about a musical recording or list of musical recordings where no articles exist for the artists, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject) based on Wiki's Criteria for speedy deletion. I can't argue with that reason - Archspire didn't have a wiki page at the time - however, I just created one for them, and it is quite extensive and well sourced. I believe it suits wiki guidelines at the moment and I plan to build it out more. As a result, could you please un-delete my article for Relentless Mutation?

In answer to your question, "If you think there's sock puppetry, open an SPI. If you don't, then what is the purpose of a CU?", there's no time overlap in editing so no SPI offence.
PayTechGuy created the material in his sandbox, User:PayTechGuy/sandbox. JbanksBTM copied it to live, PayTech of Things.
Either PayTechGuy saw the COI/UAA problems with his username, switched to the JbanksBTM account and moved his own material to mainspace, which merits a {{ uw-agf-sock}} caution, and a gentle admonishment not to use his old account again;
or they're two different people, in which case JbanksBTM is robbing PayTechGuy of credit for his work, which merits a whole different set of c&p responses.
I thought that was a sufficient reason to ask if they were the same person - obviously I was wrong. I'll leave the whole issue in your hands to deal with as you will. Cabayi ( talk) 14:42, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Bbb23! I was wondering if you could help me out with something - I have a student with WikiEd ( Umbereenbmirza) who is editing out of Turkey via a VPN. I helped her set up an account, but she hasn't been able to edit since her IP address is blocked. It wasn't for anything that she did, it just happens to be part of Redstation Limited, a web host provider or colocation provider. (If I understand all of that correctly.) She needs to have an IP block exemption, but I've never done one of those before and since I work with WikiEd (as Shalor (Wiki Ed)), I didn't know if it would be inappropriate for me to do this myself. I saw that one of the things that is recommended is to get a CheckUser to verify the need, so I thought I'd ask if you could help with this.
I didn't know if I would be able to do the IP block exemption thing myself since I work with WikiEd, as I wasn't sure if that would be a conflict of interest here. I don't think it would be super common and WikiEd deals predominantly with students located in the United States. We do have some students outside of the US, but they're in the minority for the most part so it wouldn't be something I would do more than a couple times a year, if that. My inclination is to allow others to do it, though - just so it's all on the up and up. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 21:45, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi there; I have found a newly-created page Lists of LGBT political office-holders in the United Kingdom, which is a very large page for a newbie to have created. Its content seems rather familiar; investigating my deleted contribs I have turned up LGBT politicians in the United Kingdom. The latter was created by BlobBlob98 who you blocked in March 2017 as a sock of Marquis de la Eirron, and deleted their pages (this one included) under WP:CSD#G5. A number of their deleted edits were to pages having the pattern of "Category:Fooian politicians convicted of crimes".
Lists of LGBT political office-holders in the United Kingdom was created yesterday by HeyMate29, an account which was created the previous day: 21:03, 12 July 2017 (UTC). Their very first edit was to create ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Zambian politicians convicted of crimes, a page which has not previously existed, but whose name fits the pattern of "Category:Fooian politicians convicted of crimes". Similarly for their next two page creations.

You again deleted my comment about the unblock request for User:Moltenflesh on their talkpage. As WP:BLOCK clearly and simply states that Any user may comment on an unblock request, I believe there was no reason to remove my comment. As the comment I made is allowable under WP:BLOCK (as any user may comment on an unblock request), and was not disruptive, but was in all good faith criticism of the block, then there is no basis for removal. You have mistaken criticism for disruption, however recall that editors are free to criticize administrator action. To try and resolve this though, rather than reverting you deletion (which I believe I have every right to do) can you please explain why you didn't note that it wasn't a slam dunk in either the block log or the user page. Or why you didn't make an entry at all in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Perfect Orange Sphere? Thanks! Nfitz ( talk) 15:57, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

All the information I cited was from the primary source. You may not have agreed with it but it's indisputible that Fletcher accuses Huff of deliberately sabotaging the hearings, and that Rymer went out of her way to ridicule Fletcher. All the other incidents (The fact that Roger Lang admitted the knife could have been different, the fact that the shoes weren't unique) were all matters of record. Making mention of it is entirely fair; declaring it impermissible seems a bit like a cowardly dodge unless there's something I'm missing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.61.201 ( talk) 03:35, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

You might want to compare Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Humanweb/Archive to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Utbindas/Archive. I was keeping an eye on Humanweb, and it's the same "concerned with images and fashion, Indian topics, nudity or sexual topics, and see alsos" matter.

I saw your comment at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Perfect Orange Sphere and I appreciate you stepping in to do a checkuser (and find another one). I don't doubt your conclusions wrt Moltenflesh, but I also don't doubt that it is, in fact, the same person. I've seen where IPs from a wide variety of real-world places seem to be making the same exact edits, and I presume this editor is using a selection of devices and proxies to obscure themselves from a technical standpoint. Hell, anyone can buy access to a botnet if they look hard enough. So my question to you is, is the SPI wrt Moltenflesh going to be closed due to the technical evidence, or is there some process for moving forward based on the behavioral evidence? ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:16, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello @ Bbb23:
Following the advice you gave me a few months ago, as same problem seems to be = is arising with a certain editor I suspect is the ghost of [34] and its numberless socks: same tactics, same obsession with weight, size etc. used in article on her sons as were used on Marie Antoinette's article, then forcing & using the revert method in order to start an edit war. If you have time, please check the following:
The end result is that, in order to avoid an edit war, these articles remain with details that belong to gossip magazines & end up blocked, held hostages by one disruptive editor.

A user known as Nairncrosstrees, who I suspect to be a sockpuppet for Orwellianlocksmith has been performing edits to David Toscano. The first edit was an identical copy of the edits attacking David Toscano that Orwellianlocksmith. Since the primary, they've simply stated the margin and the opponent's name. That gets to a second concern about neutrality and the user's identity. The user is also focused only on David Toscano.

Ok so. I've been looking at all sides and you are all (it appears, please correct me if I'm wrong) partially correct AND partially wrong. YES the law DOES outweigh Wikipedia's policy, BUT Wikipedia copyright policy quotes and cites those laws numerous times throughout the copyright problem/ infringement description. That being said- with permission, and proof of given permission as well as credit to the original owner of the text- you can directly use the original text as directed by the original owner, but to an extent. You can't copy the owner's work word for word without citing the text correctly. Also to be duly noted- The Wikipedia policy does state that copyright policy will be assumed of all text entered into the Wikipedia. There's no need to say anyone has a lack of competence, and the fact that you-@Softlavender - said that @IP isn't working for the betterment of Wikipedia is hypocritical. You saying that and threatening to have someone's account taken down puts you as the obstruction of betterment. Doesn't it? By logical reasoning? Again if I'm wrong any of this please correct me.

Hello, I would like to request an unblock for Algebra2Trig that was falsely accused of a sockpuppet account several months ago. We happened to be in the same location (hence same IP) but we were operating under different computers. I am not the same user as Diabedia and my intentions are nothing like that user’s. Furthermore, my interests are in mathematics and computer science, while Diabedia’s interests do not match mine. I clearly made a new account because I lost the ability to edit under Algebra2Trig, which I am requesting to unblock.
If anybody sees this, thank you in advance. I am also quite new to Wikipedia and am quite unsure where the best place to request an unblock.

Thanks for letting me now of this-- Rochelimit ( talk) 00:13, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
my talk page began to receive spams and accusations) of my "ask_someone_else_to_do_it" telling you that you should not remove maintenance templates without fixing the problems with this kind of remark. Heck, even if you don't like the SPI, you should not equate a normal Wikipedia process (which was endorsed by a clerk, who had nothing whatsoever to do with WAM) to blatant racist trolling, as you did above with
I ignored the spams, keeping them as a history on my talk page as I normally would do,( diff) and
this continues after the event(which could only refer to the current SPI). It's not clear why you are badmouthing me like this on an admin's talk page, but you really should stop it. (And while it's completely unrelated, normally if someone blanks an outrageously offensive remark that has no place anywhere on Wikipedia, even on your talk page, you should not reinstate it even if you want to "keep a record". I'm reiterating this here because you appear to have ignored my previous message on the topic.)
Bbb23, you may not be willing to perform a CU to find out who this guy is. I have legitimately never heard of Wikipedia "invit[ing people] to edit ... article[s] with possible typographical errors"; it may refer to the text of the template message I added, but that but that is only visible to people who happen to be reading the article, which is on an obscure enough topic that we didn't have an article on it until last month, and the editor claims not to be Indonesian themselves.
But would you mind blocking the account until it retracts the bit about how I ... feel that [the SPI] goes against my first amendment rights against libel (which is a legit crime) and have grounds for a suit
. I've really had enough of this whole mess; I don't even feel comfortable blanking the offending message because I suspect (per the above) that Rochelimit will just restore it without explanation.

What did I do that was such a mess? Were they technical errors? I put a lot of work into finding all those diffs and would like to at least copy them. Atsme 📞 📧 14:51, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm an idiot. This is actually another user (
User409229) that I should add to that SPI. Sorry. --|
