In case you are around (no bother if not) your eyes over the current infestation from sock and serial railway editor User:D47817, it seems the ed just doesnt want to give up. JarrahTree 11:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
I understand where you're coming from with what you wrote on the article's talk page. I was wondering, could we talk over some more direct method, Skype or regular calling or something? I have a good amount to say on the matter, but can't easily translate that into a written statement like I'd have to here. Thank you. ɱ (talk · vbm · coi) 07:07, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Please look into user 98.228.153.99 a self-identified internet troll named "neoconshooter@live.com", who according to my Google search, is actively trolling dozens of web-sites. This IP user left his email address on my talk page about his Assault rifle page edits, and expects me to response to by email. I'm afraid there is more to this than just being a new user. I have since removed his edits to my user and talk pages-- RAF910 ( talk) 18:08, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Not long off a block (3rd or 4th for the year, also) and now we have [2], [3], then [4], [5], and [6], followed by [7]. Seems the lesson wasn't learned. You may want to monitor contribs for a bit longer, perhaps? Montanabw (talk) 04:54, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
this edit history came to my attention after I got this odd bible-related post to my talk page, for no apparent reason. That IP is featured in the edit history. Have you seen lots of users editing a user's sandbox before? Is it commonly a sign of socking? Or OK to ignore?-- Elvey( t• c) 02:46, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Can you please look into the Grenade Launcher article and talk page. Herr Gruber apparently that believes that the nick-name of "knee mortar" is the correct name for the Japanese Type 10 & Type 89 Grenade launchers. He refuses to accept any source or reference to the contrary, and has repeatedly removed said info from the article (edit warring). I have provided 16 references to support that they are grenade launchers. He has provided none to support his POV and gleefully misrepresented one of the references that I provided. -- RAF910 ( talk) 06:50, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Berean Hunter. I believe I've spotted yet another puppet of Lgfcd, this one - Wimaraens. The behavior seems identical, editing the same articles in the same manner, and popping up right after you banned his last sockpuppet. Is this worth opening up yet another investigation? Kyteto ( talk) 20:12, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello Berean Hunter,
You were of aid to Twofortnights and me when an unknown user engaged with us in an edit war over an indisputable case. Well eventually this happened again with a used called "Dr.Majdiii" over an issue related to an article with the name of "Visa requirements for Tunisian citizens". He reverted by appropriate edit 3 times and I'm aware that an edit war is prohibited on Wikipedia. It's not the first time he's done this. He had engaged with Twofortnights in the past over the same issue however I'm not aware if TwoFortNights had or had not decided to take the matter to you or other moderators at that time.
The issue was basically that he wanted to include Lebanon as a VoA for Tunisian citizens however we didn't agree on that as it's not a straight forward VoA. Tunisian citizens can only obtain a VoA if they posses a non-refundable circle or round trip, a 3* or over hotel reservation, and 2000USD in cash. It's only granted after an approval from the GDGS personnel at the airport. It's as the VoA given to the 79 other countries namely the US or the UK for example who can simply just show up and get the visa stamped without the need for proof documents, cash in hand, approval, exct...
I hope I'm contributing in making Wikipedia a better place, and hope for the most rightful decision to be taken regarding the issue. Thanks & Regards, Joseph Sakr JoeSakr1980 ( talk) 15:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
It seems like Egaplaicesp is not an independent sockmaster, but rather a new sockfarm of Tirgil34. Egaplaicesp's sock MagnificentMehmet inserts at Urheimat [8] the same content as an IP at Proto-Turkic language. [9] Back in May 2015 you blocked the range of this IP as belonging to Tirgil34. [10] Egaplaicesp restores [11] Tirgil34 sock Weftsbuddy [12] at Haplogroup R1b, and Swathmafia creates the article Pazyryk rug [13] based on content added at Pazyryk burials by Tirgil34 sock Osgoem. [14] I already adressed this issue at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tirgil34 a month ago, but this obvious evidence seems to have been ignored. I'm notifying you because of your decisiveness in dealing with other sockpuppeteers, like WorldCreaterFighter. Krakkos ( talk) 23:00, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the plot tag bomber, do they regularly create accounts or mostly edit via anon IPs? You have this range hard blocked; would it possible to switch it to anon-only with account creation blocked instead so that valid users could request an account via WP:ACC?

hi there,i wonder how do you find enough time and motivation for wikipedia? Your job is easy or taking short time? :)-- Kamuran Ötükenli ( talk) 12:30, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello, my name is Tice Estes and I have been an avid wikipedian for many years but have never really edited or added content to a page before. Recently I have become quite knowledgable about the trees in my area (souther Indiana), and on my very own twelve acres farm I recently had an approximately 50 year old black cherry tree (Prunus serotina) that toppled over in the forest due to a bad spot about 10 meters up. While mushroom hunting (Morchellla season) I happened upon said fallen tree. The stump was three meters high and solid at two and a half meters was a beautiful cherry burl. As a rare hardwood woodworker who specializes in awesome bangles made by hand, I was really excited because I knew with a little time I would have a beautiful piece of wood to work with. By happenstance, today I was reading the wild black cherry page on wikipedia and one of the pictures shows a really nice burl exactly like mine, a bit bigger actually on a much smaller tree, but the same thing in fact. Then I notice it is labeled as a black rot which has a link and upon linking to view the black rot page, I read and learn and see about a totally different thing than the previous picture shows. The person has mistaken what is actually a big beautiful burl (which is caused by a very small wound in a very young tree and is in effect simply a scab that increases in size every year the tree live and does not hurt the tree at all) for black rot infection. I have lots of pictures of my cherry burl before and after i cut it in half to dry it for use in my woodworking projects. I would love to see this little error fixed especially because I am so certain I am one of the few people on Earth who would be able to spot the mistake. Sorry for rambling, but it would mean the world to me if you could give me some help. Tice Estes ( talk) 02:25, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
There's an unblock request at User talk:Gharouni, relating to a six month range block which you placed in November. The block log can be seen at Special:Block/103.251.67.0/24, and you stated that the block was because of the editor whose history is at Special:Contributions/A_Pizzon_Lamb. I can't see any resemblance of the editing by the editor requesting the unblock to either that by A Pizzon Lamb or anonymous editing from the IP range. I suggest that the block, which has already run all but 18 days of its six months, can be lifted now, or if not at the least it can be made anon-only. Any comment? The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 11:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
Would you take a look at the new user Strgzr1? This person's first few edits have a striking similarity with those that we saw from User:69.1.22.120, who you blocked last fall for disruptive editing. Billcasey905 ( talk) 13:42, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Elections for the Military history WikiProject Coordinators are currently underway, and as a member of the WikiProject you are cordially invited to take part by casting your vote(s) for the candidates on the election page.

Hello, Berean Hunter. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
There is/has not been/never will be/ a slow edit war with the Spector page.
One can be a fan of someone and still make edits to their page! I don't have to exclude myself from enjoying his legacy while also making edits to the page!
There is misinformation, there are links that aren't credible, and there's nothing wrong with fixing them. No "slow edit war" going on here. You should list the man as a convicted murderer, or at least a convicted felon, but i've tried to put that, and it's removed, says it's a violation. You list OJ Simpson as a convicted felon, but not Spector. Why are convicted felons and murderers selectively listed as such in the opening paragraphs of their wiki? Shouldn't it be across the board??
It's about getting the facts out there, it's about getting the proper wording & sources to those who want to be educated about Phil Spector- and I've corrected many inconsistencies! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:9FC0:58:3C38:A4BE:488D:2A94 ( talk) 21:51, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Berean Hunter.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. — xaosflux Talk 01:37, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

Some time ago you blocked [16]. This user resurfaced a few months later as an IP and then created the account HLY. At least since this account got blocked indefinitely the user is active as a notorious sockpuppeteer [17]. Only recently I found that in fact the user blocked by you is the puppet master behind the socks of HLY, see [18]. I wanted to inform you because I saw in the archives that there was some discussion about the block. Also I would expect that this user uses other socks for the Armenian genocide denial which haven't been linked to the HLY socks that avoided this topic. This might be worth further investigation. 84.187.151.195 ( talk) 19:55, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them.
Editing from 162.219.176.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by Courcelles for the following reason(s): Banned proxys.svg The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you are using an open proxy you will need to turn it off to edit Wikipedia.

Hi Berean Hnter. I followed up on a link I blacklisted recently, and found it listed here: User:Berean Hunter/References (last added item). There is quite some material there that seems typical spam. Are these for you to follow up?
If so, are you aware of user:COIBot/Poke, COIBot picks up the links requested there, and saves reports. Always a good reference to decide further, some deserve no follow up. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 12:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I urge you not to take a deletionist stance on food articles like St. Louis cuisine. I'm one of the most active/recent contributors to the food sector of Wikipedia, and yes, the majority lack citations on perhaps a majority of content. It's not dissimilar to many other topics on Wikipedia. Yet if you read WP:Verifiability, it maintains what you see at WP:MINREF. You really should only remove content if you truly, respectfully, doubt the veracity of the content. Otherwise we'd have editors blindly deleting enormous swathes of content on Wikipedia, which is really the opposite of helpful here. Please revert your edit. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 00:15, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Food articles already are some of the least developed, with bare bones for content. Please don't reduce this further. When editors develop an article like the one on St. Louis cuisine, it's also enormously helpful to have actual content to start with and cite. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 00:20, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
I want to improve the article. I think it should be more obvious in the article that there is an extra article with the adaptations. If it had been more obvious, I would have found it right away.

Hey please block me already plz User:Lj 03:07, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
Hey, there, Berean Hunter. I see that you have blocked the IP in question, but at the time the original case was posted, and at the time I reverted the delete, it was not blocked. Isn't the block supposed to happen before it can be used as a rationale for deleting a post? Or have I misunderstood the process (which is certainly possible). Newimpartial ( talk) 15:00, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
I've noticed some strange IP behaviour on Meta over the last few months. IPs from four to five different ranges requesting locks of old accounts, voting on other requests, and generally performing non-useful or time-wasting edits there. These IPs do similar things on enwiki, tagging old blocked accounts, leaving block notices on talk pages for accounts blocked years ago, etc. 66.87.68.228 is the most recent example of this, and I've linked to the global contributions there.
2602:306:36D5:5690::/64 is one range where this behaviour is coming from, and you mentioned that I had blocked it on Meta. Do you have any idea who this is, or why they do this? Or if there is a list of ranges that I can globally block for a while?
Thanks, -- Ajraddatz ( talk) 00:28, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Howdy! Yes, it is I. I occasionally update my bibliography of books that I own because it is very convenient to have Wikipedia format it for me into a PDF. However, I am not planning to resume significant editing. I am too busy with my cartography business and general retirement. I hope all is well with you and that the Civil War section of Wikipedia is reasonably intact.

Maybe I am missing something, but as the account was banded for 6 months in 2009 why ban his new one? Do not get me wrong, I warned him about his likely ban, and his response is just stupid. But I can see why (this time) he is (over)reacting the way he has.

Hi Berean Hunter, just a passer-by from someone who has seen a lot of these socks (lots of them getting reported to WP:AIV, etc). I thought I'd take it upon myself to find a way to calculate a possible rangeblock here for their IPv6, since you have already blocked their IPv4 here: 174.192.13.0/24 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial)). Anyhow, this is the result that the default rangeblock calculator brings up for some of their IPv6 addresses.

So, the final output of this calculation appears to be 2600:1000:b000::/41 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial)), which has notably, been blocked before for one week, which took place just short of a year ago. With that in mind, they very likely have had access to this IP range for a very long time now, so a nice long block. Would you be willing to block 2600:1000:b000::/41 for 6 months?

Greetings from the Military history WikiProject! Elections for the Military history WikiProject Coordinators are currently underway. As a member of the WikiProject you are cordially invited to take part by casting your vote(s) for the candidates on the election page. This year's election will conclude at 23:59 UTC 29 September. Thank you for your time. For the current tranche of Coordinators, AustralianRupert ( talk) 10:39, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for quieting the latest episode of odd editing re VN War weapons. I'm not actually sure the fellow is trolling; it could also be good-faith with unadmitted problems with English, for instance, but either way his work isn't an improvement.
On the principle that no good deed goes unpunished, I'd like to ask that you take a look at Doublet (linguistics). There appears to be a small crop of new accounts, all named to the same pattern -Wordword1234, two words, followed by four numbers- with an edit each. Might just be a class assignment, but it looks like a great way to build a sleeper sock farm. Anmccaff ( talk) 13:41, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

I understand where you're coming from with what you wrote on the article's talk page. I was wondering, could we talk over some more direct method, Skype or regular calling or something? I have a good amount to say on the matter, but can't easily translate that into a written statement like I'd have to here. Thank you. ɱ (talk · vbm · coi) 07:07, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Please look into user 98.228.153.99 a self-identified internet troll named "neoconshooter@live.com", who according to my Google search, is actively trolling dozens of web-sites. This IP user left his email address on my talk page about his Assault rifle page edits, and expects me to response to by email. I'm afraid there is more to this than just being a new user. I have since removed his edits to my user and talk pages-- RAF910 ( talk) 18:08, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

this edit history came to my attention after I got this odd bible-related post to my talk page, for no apparent reason. That IP is featured in the edit history.

Can you please look into the Grenade Launcher article and talk page. Herr Gruber apparently that believes that the nick-name of "knee mortar" is the correct name for the Japanese Type 10 & Type 89 Grenade launchers. He refuses to accept any source or reference to the contrary, and has repeatedly removed said info from the article (edit warring). I have provided 16 references to support that they are grenade launchers. He has provided none to support his POV and gleefully misrepresented one of the references that I provided. -- RAF910 ( talk) 06:50, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Berean Hunter. I believe I've spotted yet another puppet of Lgfcd, this one - Wimaraens. The behavior seems identical, editing the same articles in the same manner, and popping up right after you banned his last sockpuppet. Is this worth opening up yet another investigation?

Hello Berean Hunter,
You were of aid to Twofortnights and me when an unknown user engaged with us in an edit war over an indisputable case. Well eventually this happened again with a used called "Dr.Majdiii" over an issue related to an article with the name of "Visa requirements for Tunisian citizens". He reverted by appropriate edit 3 times and I'm aware that an edit war is prohibited on Wikipedia. It's not the first time he's done this. He had engaged with Twofortnights in the past over the same issue however I'm not aware if TwoFortNights had or had not decided to take the matter to you or other moderators at that time.
The issue was basically that he wanted to include Lebanon as a VoA for Tunisian citizens however we didn't agree on that as it's not a straight forward VoA. Tunisian citizens can only obtain a VoA if they posses a non-refundable circle or round trip, a 3* or over hotel reservation, and 2000USD in cash. It's only granted after an approval from the GDGS personnel at the airport. It's as the VoA given to the 79 other countries namely the US or the UK for example who can simply just show up and get the visa stamped without the need for proof documents, cash in hand, approval, exct...
I hope I'm contributing in making Wikipedia a better place, and hope for the most rightful decision to be taken regarding the issue. Thanks & Regards, Joseph Sakr JoeSakr1980 ( talk) 15:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
It seems like Egaplaicesp is not an independent sockmaster, but rather a new sockfarm of Tirgil34. Egaplaicesp's sock MagnificentMehmet inserts at Urheimat [8] the same content as an IP at Proto-Turkic language. [9] Back in May 2015 you blocked the range of this IP as belonging to Tirgil34. [10] Egaplaicesp restores [11] Tirgil34 sock Weftsbuddy [12] at Haplogroup R1b, and Swathmafia creates the article Pazyryk rug [13] based on content added at Pazyryk burials by Tirgil34 sock Osgoem. [14] I already adressed this issue at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tirgil34 a month ago, but this obvious evidence seems to have been ignored. I'm notifying you because of your decisiveness in dealing with other sockpuppeteers, like WorldCreaterFighter. Krakkos ( talk) 23:00, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the plot tag bomber, do they regularly create accounts or mostly edit via anon IPs? You have this range hard blocked; would it possible to switch it to anon-only with account creation blocked instead so that valid users could request an account via WP:ACC?

hi there,i wonder how do you find enough time and motivation for wikipedia? Your job is easy or taking short time? :)-- Kamuran Ötükenli ( talk) 12:30, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello, my name is Tice Estes and I have been an avid wikipedian for many years but have never really edited or added content to a page before. Recently I have become quite knowledgable about the trees in my area (souther Indiana), and on my very own twelve acres farm I recently had an approximately 50 year old black cherry tree (Prunus serotina) that toppled over in the forest due to a bad spot about 10 meters up. While mushroom hunting (Morchellla season) I happened upon said fallen tree. The stump was three meters high and solid at two and a half meters was a beautiful cherry burl. As a rare hardwood woodworker who specializes in awesome bangles made by hand, I was really excited because I knew with a little time I would have a beautiful piece of wood to work with. By happenstance, today I was reading the wild black cherry page on wikipedia and one of the pictures shows a really nice burl exactly like mine, a bit bigger actually on a much smaller tree, but the same thing in fact. Then I notice it is labeled as a black rot which has a link and upon linking to view the black rot page, I read and learn and see about a totally different thing than the previous picture shows. The person has mistaken what is actually a big beautiful burl (which is caused by a very small wound in a very young tree and is in effect simply a scab that increases in size every year the tree live and does not hurt the tree at all) for black rot infection. I have lots of pictures of my cherry burl before and after i cut it in half to dry it for use in my woodworking projects. I would love to see this little error fixed especially because I am so certain I am one of the few people on Earth who would be able to spot the mistake. Sorry for rambling, but it would mean the world to me if you could give me some help. Tice Estes ( talk) 02:25, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
There's an unblock request at User talk:Gharouni, relating to a six month range block which you placed in November. The block log can be seen at Special:Block/103.251.67.0/24, and you stated that the block was because of the editor whose history is at Special:Contributions/A_Pizzon_Lamb. I can't see any resemblance of the editing by the editor requesting the unblock to either that by A Pizzon Lamb or anonymous editing from the IP range. I suggest that the block, which has already run all but 18 days of its six months, can be lifted now, or if not at the least it can be made anon-only. Any comment?

Hello, Berean Hunter. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
There is/has not been/never will be/ a slow edit war with the Spector page.
One can be a fan of someone and still make edits to their page! I don't have to exclude myself from enjoying his legacy while also making edits to the page!
There is misinformation, there are links that aren't credible, and there's nothing wrong with fixing them. No "slow edit war" going on here. You should list the man as a convicted murderer, or at least a convicted felon, but i've tried to put that, and it's removed, says it's a violation. You list OJ Simpson as a convicted felon, but not Spector. Why are convicted felons and murderers selectively listed as such in the opening paragraphs of their wiki? Shouldn't it be across the board??
It's about getting the facts out there, it's about getting the proper wording & sources to those who want to be educated about Phil Spector- and I've corrected many inconsistencies! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:9FC0:58:3C38:A4BE:488D:2A94 ( talk) 21:51, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Berean Hunter.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. — xaosflux Talk 01:37, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. — xaosflux Talk 02:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Some time ago you blocked [16]. This user resurfaced a few months later as an IP and then created the account HLY. At least since this account got blocked indefinitely the user is active as a notorious sockpuppeteer [17]. Only recently I found that in fact the user blocked by you is the puppet master behind the socks of HLY, see [18]. I wanted to inform you because I saw in the archives that there was some discussion about the block. Also I would expect that this user uses other socks for the Armenian genocide denial which haven't been linked to the HLY socks that avoided this topic. This might be worth further investigation. 84.187.151.195 ( talk) 19:55, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them.
Editing from 162.219.176.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by Courcelles for the following reason(s): Banned proxys.svg The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open or anonymizing proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you are using an open proxy you will need to turn it off to edit Wikipedia. If you believe you are not running an open proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer using your IP address who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy.

Hi Berean Hnter. I followed up on a link I blacklisted recently, and found it listed here: User:Berean Hunter/References (last added item). There is quite some material there that seems typical spam. Are these for you to follow up?
If so, are you aware of user:COIBot/Poke, COIBot picks up the links requested there, and saves reports. Always a good reference to decide further, some deserve no follow up. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 12:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I urge you not to take a deletionist stance on food articles like St. Louis cuisine. I'm one of the most active/recent contributors to the food sector of Wikipedia, and yes, the majority lack citations on perhaps a majority of content. It's not dissimilar to many other topics on Wikipedia. Yet if you read WP:Verifiability, it maintains what you see at WP:MINREF. You really should only remove content if you truly, respectfully, doubt the veracity of the content. Otherwise we'd have editors blindly deleting enormous swathes of content on Wikipedia, which is really the opposite of helpful here. Please revert your edit. ɱ (talk) · vbm · coi) 00:15, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Food articles already are some of the least developed, with bare bones for content. Please don't reduce this further.

I want to improve the article. I think it should be more obvious in the article that there is an extra article with the adaptations. If it had been more obvious, I would have found it right away.

Hey, there, Berean Hunter. I see that you have blocked the IP in question, but at the time the original case was posted, and at the time I reverted the delete, it was not blocked. Isn't the block supposed to happen before it can be used as a rationale for deleting a post? Or have I misunderstood the process (which is certainly possible). Newimpartial ( talk) 15:00, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
I've noticed some strange IP behaviour on Meta over the last few months. IPs from four to five different ranges requesting locks of old accounts, voting on other requests, and generally performing non-useful or time-wasting edits there. These IPs do similar things on enwiki, tagging old blocked accounts, leaving block notices on talk pages for accounts blocked years ago, etc. 66.87.68.228 is the most recent example of this, and I've linked to the global contributions there.
2602:306:36D5:5690::/64 is one range where this behaviour is coming from, and you mentioned that I had blocked it on Meta. Do you have any idea who this is, or why they do this? Or if there is a list of ranges that I can globally block for a while?
Thanks, -- Ajraddatz ( talk) 00:28, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Howdy! Yes, it is I. I occasionally update my bibliography of books that I own because it is very convenient to have Wikipedia format it for me into a PDF. However, I am not planning to resume significant editing. I am too busy with my cartography business and general retirement. I hope all is well with you and that the Civil War section of Wikipedia is reasonably intact.

Maybe I am missing something, but as the account was banded for 6 months in 2009 why ban his new one? Do not get me wrong, I warned him about his likely ban, and his response is just stupid. But I can see why (this time) he is (over)reacting the way he has.

Hi Berean Hunter, just a passer-by from someone who has seen a lot of these socks (lots of them getting reported to WP:AIV, etc). I thought I'd take it upon myself to find a way to calculate a possible rangeblock here for their IPv6, since you have already blocked their IPv4 here: 174.192.13.0/24 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial)). Anyhow, this is the result that the default rangeblock calculator brings up for some of their IPv6 addresses.

So, the final output of this calculation appears to be 2600:1000:b000::/41 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial)), which has notably, been blocked before for one week, which took place just short of a year ago. With that in mind, they very likely have had access to this IP range for a very long time now, so a nice long block. Would you be willing to block 2600:1000:b000::/41 for 6 months?

Hi Berean Hunter. Remember the investigations of JournalmanManila and his/her sockpuppets? Now he/she's back once again as User:Dashcam and User:Xpose09. I was about to open another SPI investigation but this post by Xpose09 and this level of edits made by Dashcam akin to the sockpuppet who created that very article confirms it.

Hi @ Berean Hunter:, remember JournalmanManila and his sockpuppets? I think he has came back again (well that's fast), this time as Enervonsyrup. My hunch is because s/he retieved most of Philippines-related edits here that I think was added by his previous socks before. Thank you in advance. Cheersǃ — Gunkarta talk 16:01, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for quieting the latest episode of odd editing re VN War weapons. I'm not actually sure the fellow is trolling; it could also be good-faith with unadmitted problems with English, for instance, but either way his work isn't an improvement.
On the principle that no good deed goes unpunished, I'd like to ask that you take a look at Doublet (linguistics). There appears to be a small crop of new accounts, all named to the same pattern -Wordword1234, two words, followed by four numbers- with an edit each. Might just be a class assignment, but it looks like a great way to build a sleeper sock farm. Anmccaff ( talk) 13:41, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
