Hello. You recently blocked User:Chetra Angkor as a sock of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Phnom Penh Skyline/Archive. It appears they are back as User:Chetra Dell. In this diff you can see them restoring PPS's pet content and in their contribution history, you can see they have recreated the same draft article that was previously deleted. Not to mention the obvious similarity in the user names.-- William Thweatt Talk Contribs 20:21, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

I need to request that please delete page User talk:Yisrael Kristal as the reason of the CSD G10 (Attack page). The revision history shows the attack. Another reason for deletion is that the page was already created once and deleted and the page was created again as an attack page. So please delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal.

Hey, I don't want to dig up the diffs, but if I recall correctly I attempted to fix this some time ago and you reverted me, and when I asked you how it should be fixed to address my concern you waved it off as not being a problem since the editors in question are gone one way or the other (or something to that effect).
But since then I've noticed that it actually does lead to misunderstandings like this. I'm not sure if AGF is for or against amending blocked user page templates based on the possibility that tendentious editors will make arguments based on how they are worded, but I believe AGF forces us to assume that wasn't a tendentious editor making a disruptive comment with the intention of triggering a traumatized stalking victim, but rather a good-faith misunderstanding based on a plain reading of the template. And I was just reminded of the whole affair because I happened across this tag that was placed on the talk page of another user who probably would have been indeffed for hounding/harassment had JBW not stumbled across the SPI two months late.
I really think the misleading wording of has been blocked indefinitely because the account owner is suspected of abusively using multiple accounts
has been blocked indefinitely because CheckUser evidence confirms that the operator has abusively used multiple accounts
(emphasis added) needs to be addressed, preferably by a new parameter that allows for has been blocked indefinitely and the account owner is also suspected of abusively using multiple accounts
and has been blocked indefinitely and CheckUser evidence subsequently confirmed that the operator has abusively used multiple accounts
. What do you think?

This user is claiming that the account checkuser pinged as their sock actually belongs to their spouse and the CU was a false positive because they use the same network. I don't know them and can't speak to whether this is in fact the case, but I thought you should at least be aware of the claim, in the event you were not. Simonm223 ( talk) 11:56, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Special:Contributions/Jimjames35 has some rather odd bookspace edits. Not sure if this is sockish, but I figured since you were an admin anyway you might have some idea of what to do.
I'd say it was likely to be EC perm gaming even if it's not some sort of sock, but it was a year ago and the account hasn't done anything else since.
Thoughts appreciated. -- Izno ( talk) 03:36, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your recent edit to the Werner Erhard page. I am wondering if the IP address user that has been editing there is related to a recent sockpuppet investigation?

Hi, I noticed that in March you blocked this user for sockpuppetry and was wondering if you could possibly take a look at this guy
The account was created just a few day's after Mevagiss and his socks were blocked and has a very similar editing pattern, mostly focusing on nationality and to a lesser extent Tennis & date formats. -- Comnenus ( talk) 12:06, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello Bbb23, forgive me for being a bit impatient but I opened a new sockpuppet investigation about a month ago. Since then not a single user has edited or commented on the page. I know you and other admins working in this area are very busy, but I was hoping if you or someone else could take a quick look. Thank you very much Inter&anthro ( talk) 14:15, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning this up a bit. It's still rather promotional in my view, complete with cherry-picked praise quotes. I've had my eye on it since cleaning up the copyvio in Brunel (opera project) in 2010, one of a whole suite of articles devoted to the composer and his works, some of which are barely notable. There's yet another one in the making. I'm rather concerned about three SPAs ( [1], [2], and [3]) who have been assiduously "tending" his article (and ones related to it). Coincidentally and somewhat unusually for the main editors to a single article, they all use the names or parts of the names of deceased real people, e.g. Conlon Nancarrow (who like the subject composed for piano) and Leila Rendel and James Frederick Lowry [King]. The latter two have close connections to each other [4] and potentially the article's subject [5]. All 3 seem to be editing in tandem. I'm also wondering how one of these users was able to (a) obtain and (b) claim to hold the copyright to this image and how another one knew this obscure information which as far as I can see is published nowhere online. I've left COI notices on their talk pages. Any thoughts? Voceditenore ( talk) 10:26, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

I nominated 2405:3800:80:37c8:fd52:5c19:814f:5a1a ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) as the sock master but 2405:3800:83:9656:e534:a369:6931:a16a ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 2405:3800:500:fa63:e89a:5d0a:6c97:5b0b ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) have both been active on Noah Hanifin and other articles. Since two of those IPs are blocked, the third appears to be block evasion. So it appears to be block evasion and a range block is probably in order. Yet, you deleted the nomination with a G6 and once again made no explanation to me how to continue but did state that it did not belong here. Where does a request for an IP range block belong?

Hello Bbb. I noticed you recently blocked [8] ip 122.8.26.108 via checkuser. Could you disclose to me which account/ip the now-blocked ip was a sock of? It may be helpful if another ostensibly new editor chooses to involve themselves with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pets of Imran Khan.-- SamHolt6 ( talk) 13:19, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
Hey, just a quick question. At User talk:71.178.34.108, I noticed an odd set of blocks; I had warned the user earlier today for edit warring. With no intervening edits by that IP address, they were blocked by @ Ferret:, reblocked by you for 1 month, and then when they asked for an explanation, TPA was revoked. I'm just trying to figure out what lead to that. They were edit warring at the Video Game crash article, but did not continue the edit war, then in rapid succession comes the two blocks and TPA access revoked. What's up? -- Jayron 32 17:15, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you meant by this revert as the Erikcagey block rationale says that they are a A134 sock. Where do I go to report "hey, there's a ban evader who has possibly made hundreds of sockpuppet accounts over the last 15 years"? -- Ilovetopaint ( talk) 00:44, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

See User talk:Scoopskidoopski, User talk:This-is-name, User talk:Kparker095, User talk:Luckycat092710. I've been clearing some unblock requests and CAT:UNB and noticed a bunch of your handiwork, so I thought I'd get input on all of them. I know at least two are related, but the first I can't put into any sock drawer, and the last seems to have a good-faith explanation and I can't find abusive editing from any of them; they have been used serially and don't seem to be disruptive on their own. If you could perhaps elaborate on the first and fourth, it would help me respond to their unblock requests, and the middle two also have an innocent explanation, though I would ask for assurances they would avoid COI editing. -- Jayron 32 18:01, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23. This user just tripped some filters and showed up at AIV. While I am not seeing any obvious vandalism they do seem to be unusually well versed in things like citing references and the like for a brand new editor. Some of their attempted edits blocked by the filter are on Public image of Narendra Modi, a subject which has been controversial. Of course this may well just be an IP editor who finally decided to create an account, or someone who is good at reading instructions. Anyways I thought it might be worth a look. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 20:53, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23. An IP was blocked last night for edit warring at Macedonian referendum, 2018. The edit warring is now being continued by an account that is pretty obviously the same editor (they haven't denied it when challenged). Based on what it says at WP:SPI, a checkuser can't link an account to an IP, so not sure whether it's possible to report them for sockpuppetry. Cheers, Number 5 7 14:48, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

I am shocked by revelation that Hornetzilla78, PythonDan, Kirlator and SamaranEmerald are the same user, this gives some hindsight to me and you should notify NeiN about that. I admit I was harsh and broke rules, though my first ban was about "unreliable sources" which Hornetzilla78 and his sockets reported and was the theme against me. Later on he usedmy permabanning to remove reliable sources. So I was targeted by socketer and got trolled hard to the point of rage and desperation, he manufactured consent and deceived people to further owns views while projecting on me. He basically acted like he owned Hwasong-15 article yet accused me of that while he made edits with multiple accounts when he made reports against me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.217.233.160 ( talk) 00:26, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

On September 6, 2017, you changed the block on Wikigirl97 to a checkuser block. I came across the editor's work on one of her creations, Atherton House, which needed quite a bit of work, and I see that in less than a month they created several articles, of which the majority, on NRHP properties in California, survive and for the most part need even more work. Can you tell me whether she was a sock of anyone else whose article creations also need to be checked and fixed?

Hi B, I indeffed CorrectHai as a ducky sock of Dimpletisha, based on my knowledge of GracyM. CorrectHai is denying sockpuppetry, proclaiming their innocence as a brand new editor. CorrectHai has 17 articles of intersection with GracyM, especially at Bepannah, a frequent haunt of GracyM's. Also a considering factor, 8 edits in, this "brand new editor" reverts three of Barunology2's edits at Barun Sobti. How does this brand new user know that there's a problem with the article in need of reversion? Any chance you can look into this?

Hi. As the page OpenID is a mess and full of inaccurate/untrue/irrelevant/unverifiable information, I started to fix the page by trimming etc., but you reverted it. (I actually was in the process of moving things around...)
To start with, OpenID is not a decentralized authentication protocol. It is a mark that is used to IPR protect the series of specifications created by OpenID Foundation Working Groups.
Even if it is meant to be an acronym for OpenID Connect or OpenID Authentication 2.0, it is an identity federation protocol that relays the result of user authentication from one site to another among other claims and not user authentication per se (despite its name in the case of OpenID Authentication 2.0). If you talk about "user authentication" protocol, then it is something like FIDO 2.0.
So, the first line is inaccurate, unfortunately.
Subsequent paragraphs also are full of problems. They can and ought to be greatly simplified. -- Sommermann ( talk) 16:45, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Which sources are unreliable? If you really cared about reliability, you'd find that the citations and information used in the previous article come from sources that directly contradict Miriam's interviews in the sources I provided. What's unencyclopedic about it? If you find some sources to be false, take only that information away. You're just rejecting the whole thing because you disagree with it. The previous article provides almost no factual, historical documentation whatsoever. Promoting is advertising. I'm not advertising a dead person. I'm providing a much more detailed description of someone's life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaredCravens ( talk • contribs) 23:37, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
Regarding potential Bertrand101 sockpuppets, it seems like we caught a false positive here. @ AkoyIanS: is a well-established user and doesn't appear to be similar in behaviour to Bert in terms of editing style and communication towards other users; Bert is generally uncooperative towards other editors and doesn't appear to respond to warnings of any sort. From what it seems, he might have been caught in the proverbial crossfire assuming he happened to be on the same range as what Bert is currently using.

This guy User:Glory2Suriname has posted exactly (point2point) same edit as User:Damien2016. Here; Glory's edit [16] and Damien's edit [17]. Please revert the change by this racist person.
This sockpuppet is known Dalit hater who also considers Adivasi (aborigines) as a lowly group. He thinks if Dalits and Adivasi are associated with the target group (i.e. Khas, Chhetri), the target group may show a dislike. In posting upsetting things against Kshettri, multiple times he puts up photo of Dalit leader Dinanath Bhaskar and Chinese people showing his own ethnic hatred against all three. [18] [19] Against Bahun, he puts up a photo of Adivasi (Aborigines of South Asia) also considering Adivasi as a lowly group and instigating hatred against Bahun/Brahmin group. [20] Thus, he considers both as the lowly groups showing the attitude of tyrant Hindus. Also, he wrote Khas means a swear word. Here: [21] He hates Khas people, Chhetri and Bahun.
User:Damien2016 has been confirmed sockpuppet of User:Burbak and Burbak has following suspected sockpuppets: [22] One of the sockpuppets showed hatred against Yadavs here: [23]
In future, he may bring another account to show hatred against Khas people, Chhetri, Bahun, Yadav, Dalit and Adivasi. He is a major threat to ethnic harmony in Nepal and Bihar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.34.104.214 ( talk) 03:27, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, you blocked Michael Curnow ( talk · contribs) as part of a sockfarm earlier today. Among their contributions was the creation of Caste conflict in Bihar, which has not been substantially edited by others. It doesn't "read right" to me but I do not have the time to check all of the sources. Given that the farm has been pushing a POV on Bihar-related caste matters, what do we do about it? I don't think CSD G5 applies because they're blocked now but you indicated that it was not possible to tie them into the Burbak sockfarm due to things being stale. - Sitush ( talk) 17:50, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
I've noticed that you've closed several of the most recent SPI's into Catcreekcitycouncil's sockpuppets with general "already blocked" close reasons. Most of the accounts are indeed blocked quickly by AIV, and normally I'd just leave it at that ( WP:RBI is usually best in these cases), but this particular user has proven to be prolific with his account creation and has been shown to operate a number of autoconfirmed sleepers, sometimes letting them sit for months at a time before using them. Additionally, when CheckUser has been run, we've been able to catch a number of them before they're used, as seen here, here, here, and elsewhere in the SPI archive. Generally, I feel like taking care of these quietly would be preferable to brute force solutions like 30/500 (even it has proven to be ineffective, since they just find another article on a small town in that area and vandalize it instead). Is there any specific reason why doing a full SPI with CheckUser is a bad idea in these cases? -- Nathan2055 talk - contribs 23:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I was just going through Some of Indian Films Articles, I just noticed about Tu Maza Jeev The page is written and portrayed in Advertising format, I was thinking to put Advert Tag but before out of curiosity thought to check logs, after scanning it, I have noticed User Tiven2240 is more concerned and interested in editing and keeping this article as he wrote! Looking at its edit pattern & logs, Its noticed that the Image had been deleted by 'CommonsDelinker Bot' prevously, also this page has been Nominated for deletion twice . Also this page has been marked for {Notability},{POV},{Advert}, which has been reverted or deleted without explanation by Same user. It seems he have Rollback Rights and he is misusing same. After doing detailed research about film and IMDB link given in page I found, that his name is included in credits social media marketing manager.

I didn't want risk raising multiple cases trying to fix it, so I described the problem rather than providing diffs; I'm sorry if the report I sent isn't up to scratch, I'd be happy to add diffs to the investigations page if you require them, since another editor let me know that I can use nowiki tags to avoid the blacklist problems.

Jytdog asked a rhetorical question about the block status of Cirt at AN: "why is Cirt not indefinitely blocked, and why is there nothing in their block log or user page showing the egregious socking even to the point of going to AE? (I just checked their global contribs and they've edited wiktionary, the commons, and wikidata as recently as Oct 2018.)" [25]
In the SPI you stated that I see no reason to block Cirt unless he resumes editing using that account, in which case I will block him indefinitely if the matter is brought to my attention
. I didn't really care about that account being blocked or not, but now that Cirt has switched back to his original account to edit Wiktionary and Commons according to global contribs, that is worrying. Someone suggested that he could edit in other projects and then take the standard offer, but I believe he was supposed to do this with the Sagecandor account. It makes no sense that he's apparently trying to return as Cirt. Is there still a reason not to block him? --

Hi Bbb23.

I'm not sure what the version you deleted looked like and whether the recreation is an improvement. There also seems to have been some undisclosed paid editing just made by someone claiming to be the station's operation manager. FWIW, I think these edits were made in good faith by someone who's just not familiar with WP:COI or WP:PAID. Anyway, if you think this latest version is an improvement over the one you deleted, then I'm wondering if a histmerge or something is needed to combine the two versions, or at least let others know the article had been previously deleted. I know that {{ Old prod full}} and {{ Old AfD multi}} are used when an article is kept per those two deletion processes, but I don't know what done for recreations of speedy deletions. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:32, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm the project coordinator for Wikimedia Community Ireland, and I am working with a group of students in UCD working on Irish biographies. I've just been alerted that you have blocked all the student editors that were working on Neillí Mulcahy. While I agree that some of their edits left a lot to be desired, they all appear to have been blocked without any discussion on their talk pages. They are not sock puppets, and it seems a shame to remove everything they added and return Mulcahy back to a stub. Their projects are coming to an end soon, and will be taking part in an in-person editing event tomorrow, is there any way to work around this? Thanks! Smirkybec ( talk) 17:53, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
You recently blocked Hellishscrubber. That account had a tendency to add puffery to Columbia University, while trying to demote similar universities such as Duke University, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford University etc. Before getting blocked he was ediwarring at NYU article for same reason. Bluemu314 account was created soon after, and his 9th edit summary proves he's not a new account [28]. Like Hellishscrubber, he tried to demote articles of similar colleges such as Case Western Reserve University, Emory University, University of Rochester etc. And right after his 10th edit he went to NYU article to continue from where Hellishscrubber left. And he also promote Columbia University vehementy [29]. Could you please look into this.

Hi. While doing my daily NPP, I noticed this article tagged for deletion, so I put it on my watchlist. But I forgot to note the username who created it. After they created the article, they created quite a few redirects, which should now be deleted as well. But I can't see the article history since its deletion, so if you could provide me with that username, (and the date the article was created), I'll go back through their history, and mark the redirects for deletion.

Hi. I saw that you edited Frank Berman to remove "Sir" from his name. MOS:HON states that "The honorific titles Sir, Dame, Lord and Lady are included in the initial reference and infobox heading for the subject of a biographical article", As far as I know this is universally followed on Wikipedia, and indeed in the secondary literature Berman is invariably referred to as "Sir Frank Berman", so I've added it back.

I see that there has been some discrepancy and confusion on the delta fleet page. The article provided is dated and contains speculative information regarding the retirements of the Boeing 717-200 aircraft. I can tell you as someone in the industry delta has no active plans of retiring the aircraft. Furthermore, the notion that the A220 is the planned replacement is also incorrect. The A220 is replacing regional jets in the SLC and JFK markets. The 717 serves primarily ATL and MSP so the notion that the A220 is replacing it is wrong. Delta instead has been talking with Southwest Airlines the actual owners of the 717s that Delta leases about the creating of a lease to own program for the 717s so that they can operate them longer. Delta also has invested in a multimillion dollar engine rebuild facility for the 717s engines. Not something an airline does unless they plan on keeping a fleet type around. The simple fact is the A220 is added capacity and upgauging of regional jets only. The 717 will be around for quite some time and certainly no replacement exists for it as of this time. Something Ed Bastian even claims in the article provided for those who wrongly belive its being retired at this time. Thank you for your time and I hope that you make the decision to remove the incorrect information as I know Wikipedia prides itself on accuracy. Anonpilot ( talk) 03:18, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey, I don't want to dig up the diffs, but if I recall correctly I attempted to fix this some time ago and you reverted me, and when I asked you how it should be fixed to address my concern you waved it off as not being a problem since the editors in question are gone one way or the other (or something to that effect).
But since then I've noticed that it actually does lead to misunderstandings like this. I'm not sure if AGF is for or against amending blocked user page templates based on the possibility that tendentious editors will make arguments based on how they are worded, but I believe AGF forces us to assume that wasn't a tendentious editor making a disruptive comment with the intention of triggering a traumatized stalking victim, but rather a good-faith misunderstanding based on a plain reading of the template. And I was just reminded of the whole affair because I happened across this tag that was placed on the talk page of another user who probably would have been indeffed for hounding/harassment had JBW not stumbled across the SPI two months late.
I really think the misleading wording of has been blocked indefinitely because the account owner is suspected of abusively using multiple accounts
has been blocked indefinitely because CheckUser evidence confirms that the operator has abusively used multiple accounts
(emphasis added) needs to be addressed, preferably by a new parameter that allows for has been blocked indefinitely and the account owner is also suspected of abusively using multiple accounts
and has been blocked indefinitely and CheckUser evidence subsequently confirmed that the operator has abusively used multiple accounts
. What do you think?
Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 02:57, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
This user is claiming that the account checkuser pinged as their sock actually belongs to their spouse and the CU was a false positive because they use the same network.

Special:Contributions/Jimjames35 has some rather odd bookspace edits. Not sure if this is sockish, but I figured since you were an admin anyway you might have some idea of what to do.
I'd say it was likely to be EC perm gaming even if it's not some sort of sock, but it was a year ago and the account hasn't done anything else since.

Thanks for cleaning this up a bit. It's still rather promotional in my view, complete with cherry-picked praise quotes. I've had my eye on it since cleaning up the copyvio in Brunel (opera project) in 2010, one of a whole suite of articles devoted to the composer and his works, some of which are barely notable. There's yet another one in the making. I'm rather concerned about three SPAs ( [1], [2], and [3]) who have been assiduously "tending" his article (and ones related to it). Coincidentally and somewhat unusually for the main editors to a single article, they all use the names or parts of the names of deceased real people, e.g. Conlon Nancarrow (who like the subject composed for piano) and Leila Rendel and James Frederick Lowry [King]. The latter two have close connections to each other [4] and potentially the article's subject [5]. All 3 seem to be editing in tandem. I'm also wondering how one of these users was able to (a) obtain and (b) claim to hold the copyright to this image and how another one knew this obscure information which as far as I can see is published nowhere online. I've left COI notices on their talk pages. Any thoughts? Voceditenore ( talk) 10:26, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey, just a quick question. At User talk:71.178.34.108, I noticed an odd set of blocks; I had warned the user earlier today for edit warring. With no intervening edits by that IP address, they were blocked by @ Ferret:, reblocked by you for 1 month, and then when they asked for an explanation, TPA was revoked. I'm just trying to figure out what lead to that. They were edit warring at the Video Game crash article, but did not continue the edit war, then in rapid succession comes the two blocks and TPA access revoked. What's up? -- Jayron 32 17:15, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

I know at least two are related, but the first I can't put into any sock drawer, and the last seems to have a good-faith explanation and I can't find abusive editing from any of them; they have been used serially and don't seem to be disruptive on their own. If you could perhaps elaborate on the first and fourth, it would help me respond to their unblock requests, and the middle two also have an innocent explanation, though I would ask for assurances they would avoid COI editing. -- Jayron 32 18:01, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23. This user just tripped some filters and showed up at AIV. While I am not seeing any obvious vandalism they do seem to be unusually well versed in things like citing references and the like for a brand new editor. Some of their attempted edits blocked by the filter are on Public image of Narendra Modi, a subject which has been controversial.

I admit I was harsh and broke rules, though my first ban was about "unreliable sources" which Hornetzilla78 and his sockets reported and was the theme against me. Later on he usedmy permabanning to remove reliable sources. So I was targeted by socketer and got trolled hard to the point of rage and desperation, he manufactured consent and deceived people to further owns views while projecting on me.

On September 6, 2017, you changed the block on Wikigirl97 to a checkuser block. I came across the editor's work on one of her creations, Atherton House, which needed quite a bit of work, and I see that in less than a month they created several articles, of which the majority, on NRHP properties in California, survive and for the most part need even more work. Can you tell me whether she was a sock of anyone else whose article creations also need to be checked and fixed? It's possible that this sock had their own specific focus different from that of the sockmaster, or that the person's other work has been adequately checked and fixed up, but in case it hasn't ...

Hi B, I indeffed CorrectHai as a ducky sock of Dimpletisha, based on my knowledge of GracyM. CorrectHai is denying sockpuppetry, proclaiming their innocence as a brand new editor. CorrectHai has 17 articles of intersection with GracyM, especially at Bepannah, a frequent haunt of GracyM's. Also a considering factor, 8 edits in, this "brand new editor" reverts three of Barunology2's edits at Barun Sobti. How does this brand new user know that there's a problem with the article in need of reversion? Any chance you can look into this?

Hi. As the page OpenID is a mess and full of inaccurate/untrue/irrelevant/unverifiable information, I started to fix the page by trimming etc., but you reverted it. (I actually was in the process of moving things around...)
To start with, OpenID is not a decentralized authentication protocol. It is a mark that is used to IPR protect the series of specifications created by OpenID Foundation Working Groups.
Even if it is meant to be an acronym for OpenID Connect or OpenID Authentication 2.0, it is an identity federation protocol that relays the result of user authentication from one site to another among other claims and not user authentication per se (despite its name in the case of OpenID Authentication 2.0). If you talk about "user authentication" protocol, then it is something like FIDO 2.0.
So, the first line is inaccurate, unfortunately.
Subsequent paragraphs also are full of problems. They can and ought to be greatly simplified. -- Sommermann ( talk) 16:45, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

What's unencyclopedic about it? If you find some sources to be false, take only that information away. You're just rejecting the whole thing because you disagree with it.

This guy User:Glory2Suriname has posted exactly (point2point) same edit as User:Damien2016. Here; Glory's edit [16] and Damien's edit [17]. Please revert the change by this racist person.
This sockpuppet is known Dalit hater who also considers Adivasi (aborigines) as a lowly group. He thinks if Dalits and Adivasi are associated with the target group (i.e. Khas, Chhetri), the target group may show a dislike. In posting upsetting things against Kshettri, multiple times he puts up photo of Dalit leader Dinanath Bhaskar and Chinese people showing his own ethnic hatred against all three. [18] [19] Against Bahun, he puts up a photo of Adivasi (Aborigines of South Asia) also considering Adivasi as a lowly group and instigating hatred against Bahun/Brahmin group. [20] Thus, he considers both as the lowly groups showing the attitude of tyrant Hindus. Also, he wrote Khas means a swear word. Here: [21] He hates Khas people, Chhetri and Bahun.
User:Damien2016 has been confirmed sockpuppet of User:Burbak and Burbak has following suspected sockpuppets: [22] One of the sockpuppets showed hatred against Yadavs here: [23]
In future, he may bring another account to show hatred against Khas people, Chhetri, Bahun, Yadav, Dalit and Adivasi. He is a major threat to ethnic harmony in Nepal and Bihar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.34.104.214 ( talk) 03:27, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, you blocked Michael Curnow ( talk · contribs) as part of a sockfarm earlier today. Among their contributions was the creation of Caste conflict in Bihar, which has not been substantially edited by others. It doesn't "read right" to me but I do not have the time to check all of the sources. Given that the farm has been pushing a POV on Bihar-related caste matters, what do we do about it?

I've noticed that you've closed several of the most recent SPI's into Catcreekcitycouncil's sockpuppets with general "already blocked" close reasons. Most of the accounts are indeed blocked quickly by AIV, and normally I'd just leave it at that ( WP:RBI is usually best in these cases), but this particular user has proven to be prolific with his account creation and has been shown to operate a number of autoconfirmed sleepers, sometimes letting them sit for months at a time before using them. Additionally, when CheckUser has been run, we've been able to catch a number of them before they're used, as seen here, here, here, and elsewhere in the SPI archive. Generally, I feel like taking care of these quietly would be preferable to brute force solutions like 30/500 (even it has proven to be ineffective, since they just find another article on a small town in that area and vandalize it instead). Is there any specific reason why doing a full SPI with CheckUser is a bad idea in these cases? -- Nathan2055 talk - contribs 23:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Looking at its edit pattern & logs, Its noticed that the Image had been deleted by 'CommonsDelinker Bot' prevously, also this page has been Nominated for deletion twice . Also this page has been marked for {Notability},{POV},{Advert}, which has been reverted or deleted without explanation by Same user. It seems he have Rollback Rights and he is misusing same. After doing detailed research about film and IMDB link given in page I found, that his name is included in credits social media marketing manager.

Jytdog asked a rhetorical question about the block status of Cirt at AN: "why is Cirt not indefinitely blocked, and why is there nothing in their block log or user page showing the egregious socking even to the point of going to AE? (I just checked their global contribs and they've edited wiktionary, the commons, and wikidata as recently as Oct 2018.)" [25]
In the SPI you stated that I see no reason to block Cirt unless he resumes editing using that account, in which case I will block him indefinitely if the matter is brought to my attention
. I didn't really care about that account being blocked or not, but now that Cirt has switched back to his original account to edit Wiktionary and Commons according to global contribs, that is worrying. Someone suggested that he could edit in other projects and then take the standard offer, but I believe he was supposed to do this with the Sagecandor account. It makes no sense that he's apparently trying to return as Cirt. Is there still a reason not to block him? --

Hi Bbb23, I just got a message about a speedy deletion of yours, of the page [Kataoka Corporation Ltd.] I am a 100% sure why it was speedy deleted before one even had time to add material. It's a company leader worldwide in its sector, and most EV batteries are being tested by its equipment. How could I get the material back for improvement?

Hiya, I noticed you removed the tables regarding Noel & Sue Radford’s children and grandchildren why did you remove both tables HospitalHistory ( talk) 20:59, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Fair enough but I’m the only user that people pick on. I’ve been bullied since I joined Wikipedia last year and yet you people don’t care. And it’s because I have learning difficulties. HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:20, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
So why do I bother editing on here if you people tell me off all the time espically Rach0851 HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:21, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
So why do you not care that I get bullied nand not do anything about it. No one on Wikipedia likes me and you lot never say thing nice to me. HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:23, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
See what I mean you people never say anything nice to me and Rach0851 has been bullying me. HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:24, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
You don’t understand Bbb I have been bullied on here no one will do anything about it no one likes me. The reason I have been bullied is that I have learning difficulties. You don’t believe me that I have been personally attacked by Rach0851. Why do I bother with Wikipedia 95% of the time if get told off all the for any edit that I do. For once all I want is for you lot to be nice to me and yet you lot are bullying me (I know you haven’t Bbb). Why can people get away with bullying me and nothing gets done about it HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:29, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
It’s Rach who has been bullying me AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:31, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
See what I mean. I do want to edit on Wikipedia but I always get blasted for it. What do you expect me to do. It sounds to me you are protecting Rach and Rach has never apologised to me. Why shou I move on Rach has been doing this to me since I started on here last year. And year no one will tell Rach off HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:38, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
And this is classed as cyber bullying and cyber bullying is illegal yet Rach0851 is getting away with it and won’t apologise to me. HospitalHistory ( talk) 18:43, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
@ Bbb23, Following is what I posted on the Talk page of 103.255.6.68:
Hi Bbb23. It seems you deleted this once on May 27, 2018 per A7, but it was recreated on the same day by Unknown User1234, who left Talk:KVCB-LP#This page should not be speedy deleted because... explaining why. I'm not sure what the version you deleted looked like and whether the recreation is an improvement. There also seems to have been some undisclosed paid editing just made by someone claiming to be the station's operation manager. FWIW, I think these edits were made in good faith by someone who's just not familiar with WP:COI or WP:PAID. Anyway, if you think this latest version is an improvement over the one you deleted, then I'm wondering if a histmerge or something is needed to combine the two versions, or at least let others know the article had been previously deleted. I know that {{ Old prod full}} and {{ Old AfD multi}} are used when an article is kept per those two deletion processes, but I don't know what done for recreations of speedy deletions. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:32, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
Bbb23, this is PowerRanger200. I think that "List of Cartoon Network crossovers" should be on this information website because "Nickelodeon" and "Disney Channel" have a list of their crossover episodes and events, so Cartoon Network should have a list too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PowerRanger200 ( talk • contribs) 13:26, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

On his user page, he claims that he has an "old (suspiciously blocked) account", which is 627544editor ( talk · contribs). Is a block needed for sock puppetry? ― Abelmoschus Esculentus 04:18, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
No, 627544editor didn’t do anything suspicious or whatever—at least not on purpose! K J 2574 09:02, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Thought I would add to the thank you I gave you on the Speedy sock investigation and note that I have prodded for deletion all the pages both of the latest socks created. There's a mess of images as well. Hopefully I'll pick this up every time this one comes along because it's not clear they've got the message yet. We'll see. Thanks again.

Hi there, I'm the project coordinator for Wikimedia Community Ireland, and I am working with a group of students in UCD working on Irish biographies. I've just been alerted that you have blocked all the student editors that were working on Neillí Mulcahy. While I agree that some of their edits left a lot to be desired, they all appear to have been blocked without any discussion on their talk pages. They are not sock puppets, and it seems a shame to remove everything they added and return Mulcahy back to a stub. Their projects are coming to an end soon, and will be taking part in an in-person editing event tomorrow, is there any way to work around this? Thanks! Smirkybec ( talk) 17:53, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
You recently blocked Hellishscrubber. That account had a tendency to add puffery to Columbia University, while trying to demote similar universities such as Duke University, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford University etc. Before getting blocked he was ediwarring at NYU article for same reason. Bluemu314 account was created soon after, and his 9th edit summary proves he's not a new account [28]. Like Hellishscrubber, he tried to demote articles of similar colleges such as Case Western Reserve University, Emory University, University of Rochester etc. And right after his 10th edit he went to NYU article to continue from where Hellishscrubber left. And he also promote Columbia University vehementy [29]. Could you please look into this.

Hi. While doing my daily NPP, I noticed this article tagged for deletion, so I put it on my watchlist. But I forgot to note the username who created it. After they created the article, they created quite a few redirects, which should now be deleted as well. But I can't see the article history since its deletion, so if you could provide me with that username, (and the date the article was created), I'll go back through their history, and mark the redirects for deletion.

Hi, Bbb23. Sorry to disturbe you. I just detected two obvious socks for SacredGeometry333 and BDMKK. Here, making threats in my talk page, and here, using the same wording and editing the very same way (with a obsession with "weasel wording", as he describes). He is even arguing that "having multiple accounts is allowed", and we heard that before. Can you take a look? Thanks. Coltsfan ( talk) 09:19, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I saw that you edited Frank Berman to remove "Sir" from his name. MOS:HON states that "The honorific titles Sir, Dame, Lord and Lady are included in the initial reference and infobox heading for the subject of a biographical article", As far as I know this is universally followed on Wikipedia, and indeed in the secondary literature Berman is invariably referred to as "Sir Frank Berman", so I've added it back.

I see that there has been some discrepancy and confusion on the delta fleet page. The article provided is dated and contains speculative information regarding the retirements of the Boeing 717-200 aircraft. I can tell you as someone in the industry delta has no active plans of retiring the aircraft. Furthermore, the notion that the A220 is the planned replacement is also incorrect. The A220 is replacing regional jets in the SLC and JFK markets. The 717 serves primarily ATL and MSP so the notion that the A220 is replacing it is wrong. Delta instead has been talking with Southwest Airlines the actual owners of the 717s that Delta leases about the creating of a lease to own program for the 717s so that they can operate them longer. Delta also has invested in a multimillion dollar engine rebuild facility for the 717s engines. Not something an airline does unless they plan on keeping a fleet type around. The simple fact is the A220 is added capacity and upgauging of regional jets only. The 717 will be around for quite some time and certainly no replacement exists for it as of this time. Something Ed Bastian even claims in the article provided for those who wrongly belive its being retired at this time. Thank you for your time and I hope that you make the decision to remove the incorrect information as I know Wikipedia prides itself on accuracy. Anonpilot ( talk) 03:18, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
