I have no idea why you feel the need to undo my edits, those are various fixes, for example, tweaking of words, fixing references, nothing that I wouldn't do myself. Undoing it just leave the article a worse state than it needs to be, whether the person who asked me to do is a sock is of no relevance. Hzh ( talk) 19:20, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

I just wanted to tell you that every time I go on Wikipedia with a thought to editing something, I get a sick feeling in my stomach. People do not ask to be born into certain groups, and I was raised in public schools to believe that everyone's story, everyone's history, is legitimate, it happened. It can be interpreted it different ways, as can anything; points of view change. You have basically told me that my history, my point of view of my history, is illegitimate, because I as a Jew met the wrong person on a train. I hope you have a happy life destroying other people's lives. I will not communicate with you again and will not have anything further to do with editing Wikipedia.

Berean Hunter, I've seen that you have blocked the group of IP addresses represented in 130.126.255.0/24 stating that they are all sockpuppets. The group of IP addresses are actually those of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, so the IP addresses represent roughly forty-thousand students and faculty, rather than a single person.

Hi
I’m afraid that I have no idea why you have banned me. I was simply trying to update my late father’s page, given that his uncle was also a professional footballer and has a page. I was asked to undertake this by members of my family at a funeral yesterday.
I have no idea what squelch socking and these various other terms mean. I simply tried to set up an account and was repeatedly told that my selected user name was too similar to others. Finally upon trying 6 times Wiki locked me out and you have banned me.
I am not a troll/serial mis-information editor. I am simply someone trying to update my late father’s page with family and relevant information.
I respectfully ask to be unbanned and if you can provide guidance on setting up a proper profile it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.174.144 ( talk) 23:17, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Would you please submit a global block for all Tirgil34's sockpuppets (both confirmed and suspected). Some of his socks are still active and he uses them; e.g. a case like Special:Contributions/Hirabutor (blocked on EN WP) but still active on Wiktionary and uses his sockpuppet for personal attacks like this. The odd thing is Wiktionary admins and some other users of that project are aware of his LTA case & non-stop sockpuppetry BUT they still allow him editing there. As you already know, Tirgil34's case is not limited to EN WP and it's global. That nationalist troll has infected other projects too; from others WPs like German and Russian to Wiktionary and Commons. Thanks. -- Wario-Man ( talk) 05:17, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Berean Hunter. Happy holidays! I'm reaching to you regarding a sock question. I wanted to create an article about an ancestor of mine who was notable several centuries ago (mentioned in several books and held leadership roles in founding a city). I'm quite experienced with biographies on Wikipedia, and I've done a lot of research this past year in the topic but haven't written anything yet. Since he shared my surname, I didn't want it to be linked to this account for privacy reasons. Based on my past interactions with you and the community regarding previous socking, how do you advise I proceed? My idea was to create a new account (with your approval), let you know which one it is, and then create the article in a draft and submit it to WikiProject Articles for creation. If you think it's better from me to abstain from creating an article, I'm fine with that too and can continue with my other initiatives. Thank you. MX ( ✉ • ✎) 17:34, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Berean - why did you block my IP address which is not a registered user? I can't look up the IP as I'm logged in. It was due to expire Jan 24.
Smacks of a witch hunt to me. I haven't even edited an article in maybe months. And of course, if I can't edit, I can't request help, get the block reviewed, or any of the things WP suggests.
Blocking is pretty serious stuff. Explain yourself please.

My IP Address Is: IPv6: 2605:8d80:4c0:5b0:e1fc:f9e7:a446:dbb0 IPv4: 24.114.40.67

Hey there, how's it going. I have a super super strong suspicion on a user, pretty much 100%, but I wanted it to be above board and have a checkuser done on them first.
I've recently blocked User:Ffrrrrgus and User:Myrhonon as being socks, tagging Ffrrrrgus as the master. However now, upon a pointer from User:Seb az86556 via the Navajo wiki (the editor in question has been jumping all over every Wiki pushing their new maps and changes), I've been directed to look at User:Borders are imaginary. And yes, pretty much 100% sure they're the same user.
Reason.
There could well be other accounts, and it wouldn't surprise me. The editor tried to keep them separate but frequently forgets which one they're logged in with and creates overlap.
So could you check User:Borders are imaginary against User:Ffrrrrgus and User:Myrhonon? I don't know if you're able to see if there are any other accounts out there as well. Fairly certain, but want to do it right.
Many thanks in advance. Canterbury Tail talk 16:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

This does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a banned editor (obviously helpful changes, such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism, can be allowed to stand), but the presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert.The spirit of that clause is to prevent banned editors from gaming the system by submitting a bunch of obvious typo corrections or vandalism reverts. To me, allowing banned editors to make edits to other editors' user talk pages falls clearly outside of the spirit of what a ban is and how we enforce bans. Since it's your talk page, I'm personally fine with you doing whatever you want, but I do think that your opinion on this is rather idiosyncratic. Mz7 ( talk) 21:03, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

This IP address and range is used by one of the UK's major ISPs and is highly dynamic. Blocking the range will affect a large number of people, but will have limited or no effect on the sock account. Indeed, I logged on via this IP, and apart from not being able to edit, I had to clear my cache before I could edit using my current IP address. Cache clearing had further knock-on effects, which then led to other problems. Not to put too finer point on it, your blocking of this IP range caused a significant number of issues for me outside of Wikipedia.

"Editing from 1.46.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by Berean Hunter." Unfortunately, this is a IP range used by a major Thai mobile internet provider, Dtac. Apparently, I can edit while logged on, but this range block might prevent too many newbies to start WP-ing. No need to reply, just for your information and to deal with at your leisure. Btw, I discovered this because I had intended to merely view a source code, for which I had not logged on.

I was wondering if you could maybe drop the protection level to Extended Confirmed protection because Full protection stops editors like me from making helpful edits such as fixing typos or adding sources. I recognize sockpuppetry is a problem on this article, but since you protected that article indefinitely, no change has ever been made to it. A a s i m 20:26, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

I noticed your comments on the Wikipedia article Kentucky Colonel and know you understand the commission and the honor well. I am one of the editors for the page and a commissioner for Kentucky Colonels International, we started in Berea in 1998. There has been a lawsuit filed against us for using the term "Kentucky Colonels" as part of our name, the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels has trademarked the term as their own and are making its use exclusive for their commercial use and profit (the purpose of trademarks right?). There is more information about this on our website Kentucky Colonels International and information can also be found in the Google news headlines. You may also like to know we uncovered more history about Kentucky Colonels that discredits current understanding based on research of the Courier Journal and the State Archives. The information is also on our website. I cannot edit the page because I have been enjoined in the lawsuit and mentioned in the Herald Leader as being responsible for removal of their information, which I did not. We will appreciate your objective perspectives and vigilance, I have also notified BarrelProof about this. Problemsmith ( talk) 02:44, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, the recently unblocked user Krish! seems to be back to his old ways of whitewashing the page of his favourite subject Priyanka Chopra by adding unsourced puffery which I removed in this edit and removing negative critical notices of her performance. When reverted and asked to maintain stasquo, he resorted to his usual edit-warring instead of starting a talk page discussion, as he was advised to do. Also pinging Cyphoidbomb -- do you condone such reverts mere hours after the person has been back on the standard offer? Krimuk2.0 ( talk) 18:20, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Berean Hunter, you helped a few months ago with this ANI report: [18]. The user seems to be back again today on one of the same IPs, 79.8.104.141, after the three-month block expired. They're making the same kind of unsourced and obviously false changes to numbers from genetics studies.
They also made a couple of edits from 87.16.124.190 and 62.19.83.88. Maybe you have time to take a look? Thanks. -- IamNotU ( talk) 03:48, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
I did some edits on Priyanka Chopra's article. He reverted all of my edits even the non-controversial ones. I tried discussing with him and he reverted me again. He has also not replied to my last posts on the discussions we were having on Chopra's talk page. So how am I supposed to edit wikipedia? He keeps reverting me and is not ready to discuss. WP rules clearly says no one WP:OWNs any article and anyone can edit. That editor did not stop at that. He went on to remove a lot of stuff from Andaaz, an article I started working on today. He removes this which has been there since last six years and accuses me of favoring one actress. How am I suppose to edit and work on anything here? Krish | Talk To Me 08:07, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
I am confused by this edit in an AfD. In the end, it basically was reverted.

Can you block 176.88.97.149? He is an idiot who thinking never released versions of Windows is real. I think he watched Windows Never Released too much.

Hi! Since you previously blocked Special:Contributions/175.38.0.0/17 from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Srinesh.saravanan and I'd rather not backlog SPI with more obvious IP cases, would another longer block be appropriate? They returned exactly after block expiry to the exact same articles doing the same type of edits (and some exactly the same). I don't think it's likely that they will ever stop or desist. While they were blocked (and another prolific sock who is still blocked), these articles saw significantly decreased disruptive editing. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 22:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Good Afternoon Berean Hunter.
Something quite strange has happened. This morning I was surprised to discover (by chance) that my IP address (62.19.128.0/18) has been blocked by you in April, citing "persistent addition of unsourced content". I cannot explain myself how this could have happened, since I usually don't edit Wikipedia without logging in and if I do it is mainly because I do not remember to check if I am logged or not. You can see from my contributions that I always source what I write on Wikipedia and that I prefer discussing things on talk pages before adding any possibly problematic content. Moreover I have never received any warning regarding that issue.
So I came here to ask you for some explanation. Sincerely,
FilBenLeafBoy ( Let's Talk!) 16:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
I was looking over some tags, and noticed that last year you created the "rollback" tag, do you recall the reasoning?

People do not ask to be born into certain groups, and I was raised in public schools to believe that everyone's story, everyone's history, is legitimate, it happened. It can be interpreted it different ways, as can anything; points of view change. You have basically told me that my history, my point of view of my history, is illegitimate, because I as a Jew met the wrong person on a train.

Berean Hunter, I've seen that you have blocked the group of IP addresses represented in 130.126.255.0/24 stating that they are all sockpuppets. The group of IP addresses are actually those of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, so the IP addresses represent roughly forty-thousand students and faculty, rather than a single person.

Hi
I’m afraid that I have no idea why you have banned me. I was simply trying to update my late father’s page, given that his uncle was also a professional footballer and has a page. I was asked to undertake this by members of my family at a funeral yesterday.
I have no idea what squelch socking and these various other terms mean. I simply tried to set up an account and was repeatedly told that my selected user name was too similar to others. Finally upon trying 6 times Wiki locked me out and you have banned me.
I am not a troll/serial mis-information editor. I am simply someone trying to update my late father’s page with family and relevant information.
I respectfully ask to be unbanned and if you can provide guidance on setting up a proper profile it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.174.144 ( talk) 23:17, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Would you please submit a global block for all Tirgil34's sockpuppets (both confirmed and suspected). Some of his socks are still active and he uses them; e.g. a case like Special:Contributions/Hirabutor (blocked on EN WP) but still active on Wiktionary and uses his sockpuppet for personal attacks like this. The odd thing is Wiktionary admins and some other users of that project are aware of his LTA case & non-stop sockpuppetry BUT they still allow him editing there. As you already know, Tirgil34's case is not limited to EN WP and it's global. That nationalist troll has infected other projects too; from others WPs like German and Russian to Wiktionary and Commons. Thanks. -- Wario-Man ( talk) 05:17, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Berean Hunter. Happy holidays! I'm reaching to you regarding a sock question. I wanted to create an article about an ancestor of mine who was notable several centuries ago (mentioned in several books and held leadership roles in founding a city). I'm quite experienced with biographies on Wikipedia, and I've done a lot of research this past year in the topic but haven't written anything yet. Since he shared my surname, I didn't want it to be linked to this account for privacy reasons. Based on my past interactions with you and the community regarding previous socking, how do you advise I proceed? My idea was to create a new account (with your approval), let you know which one it is, and then create the article in a draft and submit it to WikiProject Articles for creation. If you think it's better from me to abstain from creating an article, I'm fine with that too and can continue with my other initiatives. Thank you. MX ( ✉ • ✎) 17:34, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Berean - why did you block my IP address which is not a registered user? I can't look up the IP as I'm logged in. It was due to expire Jan 24.
Smacks of a witch hunt to me. I haven't even edited an article in maybe months. And of course, if I can't edit, I can't request help, get the block reviewed, or any of the things WP suggests.
Blocking is pretty serious stuff. Explain yourself please.

My IP Address Is: IPv6: 2605:8d80:4c0:5b0:e1fc:f9e7:a446:dbb0 IPv4: 24.114.40.67
This is, of course difficult, as I can't edit with that IP. Quick fix appreciated. Ben
Hey there, how's it going. I have a super super strong suspicion on a user, pretty much 100%, but I wanted it to be above board and have a checkuser done on them first.
I've recently blocked User:Ffrrrrgus and User:Myrhonon as being socks, tagging Ffrrrrgus as the master. However now, upon a pointer from User:Seb az86556 via the Navajo wiki (the editor in question has been jumping all over every Wiki pushing their new maps and changes), I've been directed to look at User:Borders are imaginary. And yes, pretty much 100% sure they're the same user.
Reason.
There could well be other accounts, and it wouldn't surprise me. The editor tried to keep them separate but frequently forgets which one they're logged in with and creates overlap.
So could you check User:Borders are imaginary against User:Ffrrrrgus and User:Myrhonon? I don't know if you're able to see if there are any other accounts out there as well. Fairly certain, but want to do it right.
Many thanks in advance. Canterbury Tail talk 16:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

This does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a banned editor (obviously helpful changes, such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism, can be allowed to stand), but the presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert.The spirit of that clause is to prevent banned editors from gaming the system by submitting a bunch of obvious typo corrections or vandalism reverts. To me, allowing banned editors to make edits to other editors' user talk pages falls clearly outside of the spirit of what a ban is and how we enforce bans. Since it's your talk page, I'm personally fine with you doing whatever you want, but I do think that your opinion on this is rather idiosyncratic. Mz7 ( talk) 21:03, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

This IP address and range is used by one of the UK's major ISPs and is highly dynamic. Blocking the range will affect a large number of people, but will have limited or no effect on the sock account. Indeed, I logged on via this IP, and apart from not being able to edit, I had to clear my cache before I could edit using my current IP address. Cache clearing had further knock-on effects, which then led to other problems. Not to put too finer point on it, your blocking of this IP range caused a significant number of issues for me outside of Wikipedia.

"Editing from 1.46.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by Berean Hunter." Unfortunately, this is a IP range used by a major Thai mobile internet provider, Dtac. Apparently, I can edit while logged on, but this range block might prevent too many newbies to start WP-ing. No need to reply, just for your information and to deal with at your leisure. Btw, I discovered this because I had intended to merely view a source code, for which I had not logged on.

I noticed your comments on the Wikipedia article Kentucky Colonel and know you understand the commission and the honor well. I am one of the editors for the page and a commissioner for Kentucky Colonels International, we started in Berea in 1998. There has been a lawsuit filed against us for using the term "Kentucky Colonels" as part of our name, the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels has trademarked the term as their own and are making its use exclusive for their commercial use and profit (the purpose of trademarks right?). There is more information about this on our website Kentucky Colonels International and information can also be found in the Google news headlines. You may also like to know we uncovered more history about Kentucky Colonels that discredits current understanding based on research of the Courier Journal and the State Archives. The information is also on our website. I cannot edit the page because I have been enjoined in the lawsuit and mentioned in the Herald Leader as being responsible for removal of their information, which I did not.

I did some edits on Priyanka Chopra's article. He reverted all of my edits even the non-controversial ones. I tried discussing with him and he reverted me again. He has also not replied to my last posts on the discussions we were having on Chopra's talk page. So how am I supposed to edit wikipedia? He keeps reverting me and is not ready to discuss. WP rules clearly says no one WP:OWNs any article and anyone can edit. That editor did not stop at that. He went on to remove a lot of stuff from Andaaz, an article I started working on today. He removes this which has been there since last six years and accuses me of favoring one actress. How am I suppose to edit and work on anything here? Krish | Talk To Me 08:07, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
I am confused by this edit in an AfD. In the end, it basically was reverted. Looking at the contribution history of the two claimed editors, and taking into account the way signatures are usually attached to edits, this looks like abuse of multiple accounts by a single user. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 11:57, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello Sir. This page Syrian Turkmen got semi-protected because of IP sock puppetry invasion. Then after the protection, similar block evasion activity appeared again to escape the rules.

See these IP contribs: [19] This exact IP had been blocked for 3 months as part of Pedrovariant's ANI case. It's obviously them (resuming activity on the same subjects, e.g. [20], shortly after the block expired), and they need to be blocked again. Thanks. Crossroads -talk- 15:19, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
I have a T-Mobile device and I’m blocked from editing? I’m curious as to whom gave you the power to block an entire carrier of people from fixing mistakes in Wikipedia articles, especially when said mistakes included saying someone died in 2017 of corona virus on an anonymous account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.122.178.227 ( talk) 21:55, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
I found this edit through the Wikibaji SPI. The editor was welcomed by one of the Wikibaji socks. It's a rather unusual type of spamming. Any ideas? ☆ Bri ( talk) 19:21, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, BH - this evening, I received the failed login attempt notice in my alerts. I changed the password to the point I may not be able to remember it, and got the notice again. Same thing is happening at Commons. Should I be concerned? Atsme Talk 📧 23:06, 29 March 2020 (UTC) Adding - just got another alert - this time it stated 6 failed attempts.

I noticed that you removed an edit on Benelli m4 that I made to a review aggregator as being promotional. This would be the same type of website as /info/en/?search=Rotten_Tomatoes which has over 10,000 links on wikipedia. It seems like wikipedia values these type of critic review sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlongley7 ( talk • contribs) 13:20, April 12, 2020 (UTC)

Hi, My IP address has been blocked as of March this year for apparent 'shock puppetry'- I don't think I've edited anything on Wikipedia since creating the Historia Normannis page. Have I just been hit by accident in a range IP block or done something I should be aware of? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:3430:2200:E153:ED6:3C75:C72C ( talk) 08:29, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Can you block 176.88.97.149? He is an idiot who thinking never released versions of Windows is real. I think he watched Windows Never Released too much. He added a load of bullshit (sorry if this word is disallowed on Wikipedia) including Windows 3.51 (not NT), Windows 4.0, Windows Server 2000, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2006, Windows 7.1, etc. I wouldn't really be surprised if this was a 13 year old kid that just wants his attention. This is probably YusufT19 who've also vandalized BetaWiki and BetaArchive Wiki using accounts with names of fake Windows versions (like Windows NT 8.1).

Hi, You blocked me yesterday saying that someone named Shivamroy22 was logged in with my IP. May be, because i bought this computer system second hand from a person named Rahul. Sir, My name is Hamid and my username is FIH_bone whose full form is 'FILM INVESTIGATOR HAMID_boy of naughty eyes'. So yeah, i started to use Wikipedia for exploring my knowledge and i really would like to contribute to Wikipedia. I am a student from Mumbai and i am much interested in acting that's why i mostly chose films related articles for editing. Thanks a lot! FIH bone -talk- 09:20, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
This user has been harssing me since the day I came back. He goes everywhere to harass me. See this. He is again at harassing and intimidating me.

Hi BH, could you please take a look at the edit history at Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone Limited. There's been a lot of back and forth with some large content submissions in the 8k range. The most recent account to resubmit it is an SPA. The whole thing is fishy. I only find one article intersection between Invisiblelibrarian and Andrew nyr, but why are they both so adamant to keep that 8k block? If you look at the text, it's totally copy/pasted from somewhere, although I can't figure out where, and it is totally promotional. Let me know what you want me to do, if anything. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 14:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey Berean Hunter, hope you are well. I saw some personal attacks by 111.65.35.10 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) on their talk page.

Hi! Since you previously blocked Special:Contributions/175.38.0.0/17 from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Srinesh.saravanan and I'd rather not backlog SPI with more obvious IP cases, would another longer block be appropriate? They returned exactly after block expiry to the exact same articles doing the same type of edits (and some exactly the same). I don't think it's likely that they will ever stop or desist. While they were blocked (and another prolific sock who is still blocked), these articles saw significantly decreased disruptive editing. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 22:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Dear Berean, could you please have a look at why Editing from 82.132.192.0/18 is being blocked.

Hi Berean Hunter, this user:Semsûrî keeps vandalising tons of Assyrian-related pages, adding irrelevant information and spreading his Chauvinistic view on minority pages.

Hi Berean Hunter! I became aware of his behaviour through Twitter it went viral. This is pure vandalism of Assyrian pages and we will not accept him re-writing our history and portray it in a Kurdish manner. Please, lock him from the pages he has edited related to Assyrians.

You've blocked my IP address @ user_talk:45.72.156.102 even though I've never made an edit from this computer without being logged in, my IP address page has no edit history and I've never made a deleterious edit to Wikipedia in 20 years. What's the meaning of this? Please remove this block.

I am impeded from contributing anonymously, which I prefer to do. As the page linked to my IP address page doesn't contain any history of malicious edits from other people, either, I again request this block is removed. Blocking my IP address can't have nothing to do with me, because it affects how I use this encyclopedia. I do not like to be logged in.

Hi Berean Hunter, you blocked 62.19.128.0/18 for three months (see this ANI report) but they're back to vandalizing DNA haplogroup articles again. Do you want to re-block it?

Hi,
Is it legal to report a sockpuppetry investigation after 3 weeks+ from the time when it was done? Eg: sockpuppetry was done on 24th April but today is 12th May.

Hey Hunter,
I'd appreciate if you could clarify something for me regarding this check. You're suggesting that several accounts are using the same ISP, but only some use the ISP's proxy servers. What does this mean with respect to the locale of both those that use the proxies, and the one that doesn't?

Good Afternoon Berean Hunter.
Something quite strange has happened. This morning I was surprised to discover (by chance) that my IP address (62.19.128.0/18) has been blocked by you in April, citing "persistent addition of unsourced content". I cannot explain myself how this could have happened, since I usually don't edit Wikipedia without logging in and if I do it is mainly because I do not remember to check if I am logged or not. You can see from my contributions that I always source what I write on Wikipedia and that I prefer discussing things on talk pages before adding any possibly problematic content. Moreover I have never received any warning regarding that issue.
So I came here to ask you for some explanation. Sincerely,
FilBenLeafBoy ( Let's Talk!) 16:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
I was looking over some tags, and noticed that last year you created the "rollback" tag, do you recall the reasoning? It's been largely unused — the are just two instances, I couldn't find them — and appears likely to cause confusion with with mw-rollback, which is defined by the software. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 18:01, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to adjust a spelling error when I noticed this IP got blocked on March 4th. I noticed that it said "anon only" but when i log in I still see the block. Clicking on the IP address does not show anything but a error message.
Therefore I have two questions first would be what lead to this block.
Second, if this logged in block could be corrected. Brandtair ( talk) 12:35, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
