What the heck, DoRD? The malicious user Huon says that you've convicted me of sock puppetry. I have not done ANYTHING wrong, nothing wrong at all! Whoever "Glorious Japan Forever" is, he is a vandal hooligan and he may be using sock puppets, but I'm certainly not one of them! I've never written a vandalising article in my life!

Just so you know, 2sc945 has been evading the block imposed in the latter half of February: compare the master with the following four edits. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee welcome!" 23:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Took me a while to catch on with this one - they had to vandalize my user page before I got clued in: User talk:DramnAce1234. See what you think. BMK ( talk) 00:27, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
User:126.4.217.89. Not sure if you're allowed to do anything about it, though. BMK ( talk) 01:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
To all members of Wikipedia that have been involved in this case, especially Bgwhite: I'm sincerely sorry for everything: I want to apologize for always giving you guys a hard time with my edits and contributions to any articles here on Wikipedia regarding Jordanian footballers and teams and I sincerely apologize for always ignoring your rules and warnings. I admit I was being selfish, thought I could always get away with it and always have it my way, as well as being too lazy to listen to any of you by ignoring the reasons you provide me as to why some of my edits violate the rules here on this website and ignoring your warnings. I apologize for my rude and selfish behavior. I just wanted to help, and I thought I could by adding more links and references to such articles, but I seriously did not know that using double brackets and this | in the links and references I add was a violation, I thought it wouldn't matter. With all due respect, what's the big deal with that exactly, what harm could be done? Is it only because it's totally unnecessary or what? And what's wrong with providing Arabic links and references here on Wikipedia? I mean, there are lots of articles here on Wikipedia, besides ones regarding Jordanian footballers, that include Arabic links and references. The only reason why I like to provide Arabic links and references to articles of Jordanian footballers here on Wikipedia is because they are the only ones that back up the information of these footballers and make a lot of sense, and there are hardly any English ones out there that help back up the info. Trust me, the Arabic ones are much better because they contain much more, or better yet, all sources of the info I provide. So I provide these links and references as sources to back up the info I provide. And as for all the Facebook links I've been trying to provide for the past few months, which I have also just removed myself for the past few days after I found out why providing certain Facebook links is inappropriate here on Wikipedia, I thought it was completely fine to do that after I saw Lionel Messi's Facebook page provided as a link on an article of him here on Wikipedia, so I thought I could help by doing the same to articles of Jordanian footballers here on Wikipedia, and I thought it wouldn't matter, in fact I thought the same was allowed to be done for any article here on Wikipedia of a footballer. So if it's really the links and references you guys have a problem with, just remove them yourselves from now on without having to revert my recent edits, like manually. As for me, I promise to never ever do this again. I really didn't mean to cause you guys any trouble with all I've been doing, I just wanted to help because I enjoy doing this, and I've been doing all this because I'm the one who created most articles/pages here on Wikipedia of Jordanian footballers, national teams, and clubs and improved all others created by other people. You see, I used to be the only one here on Wikipedia who had access to all the information of Jordanian footballers and teams until I tried to help everyone else here on Wikipedia, like readers and members, giving them access to this information by providing it here on Wikipedia.
So as of for now and from now on, please accept and leave my recent edits and contributions that I have made for the past few days because they are all now totally accurate and I tried to make it easier for you guys by removing Facebook links and the | symbols from the references I've been providing. Will you guys please forgive me, not get me into anymore trouble and not try to stop me from contributing by blocking me. Please let's just forget about all this and allow me to continue contributing because I want to help, is that so wrong? :(

Hello, first of all; I have the right to have another account, second not created to avoid any locks or anything like that, I do not understand why you block my account. If when the problem that was generated with the user Ricardo80 I did not use that account. Now my one wonder if it was my business the Chema account, so that would not explain nor lied about who he was. So I request you to unblock my other account. This user Ricardo80 is only upset because I'm enforcing the rules of wikipedia.-- GeorgeMilan TALK2ME 16:13, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello, sir. Given the present confusion at User:HoshiNoKaabii2000's SPI, can I please revert the redirects I placed in the SPI archives of both HoshiNoKaabii2000 and WangsDaringsFun? Thank you. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 20:37, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Fram closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natalie White because it was full of socks (for example, you blocked the nominator, King Nebuchadnezzar II), but it was promptly reverted by another user; his contributions show that this was his first edit outside of userspace, and made less than an hour and a half after he registered. Is more checkuser activity warranted? I'd like to block the account immediately, as this is a duck-with-megaphone situation in my eyes, but I'm not familiar enough with the case and might mark him as the sock of the wrong person or make some other confusing statement. Nyttend ( talk) 03:13, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Part of what makes for a confusing case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/D62943 is the bicoastal activity of the accounts. The original D62943 grouping appears to be based in New Jersey while the Geoffrey100 grouping appears to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The topics of interest include TV and (mostly) radio stations, shopping malls or retail districts, and various Chinese-related topics. Rschen7754 can probably offer some insight, having early experience with the socks. Binksternet ( talk) 18:37, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
You did the CU on the above report. Another report has been opened at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AmirSurfLera. Does the second report make any sense in light of the first?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 20:55, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
After a period of quiet, it looks possible that Dd1234 has returned, this time as User:DinFin. The suite of articles editied is slightly different but overlaps with Dd1234's interest in Matt and Kim, and the pattern of editing (i.e. additng unsourced dates, creating articles about borderline notable people, always editing from a mobile device) is the same. I think it's worth a look, if you agree. BMK ( talk) 18:31, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Just FYI, I'm keeping on eye on User:MichaelBatch, just created, whose only edit has been to remove the sockpuppetry tag from Dd1234's user page. BMK ( talk) 20:50, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

I stumbled to a user who says that he retired from his original account, and opened a new one, which would constitute a clean start per WP:SOCK#LEGIT. He then says that he edited under an IP, and now he is returned from retirement on his original account, and the second account he created claims that the user is on a wiki-break. If I read the clean start section correctly, this is illegal, correct? He could have abandoned the second account only if he went and created a fresh third (or fourth, fifth...) account?

Callanecc had also forgot to tag once, so it might be natural but shouldn't be overlooked. Can you tag all users that have been confirmed on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/L'Aquotique? Thanks OccultZone ( Talk • Contributions • Log) 15:51, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Can you explain to me why I have been blocked. This happened right after I asked for help with a problem I am having with individuals removing uploads I put on Category:Bud Uanna on Commons. I started Category:Bud Uanna on Commons and the Wikipedia listing for William Lewis Uanna - who is my father. My question about Commons is: Is there an appeal to removing uploads? It appears that someone can claim Copyright infringement and remove uploads without having to prove if an actual Copyright infringement exists. What exactly did I do to be blocked. Did someone try to contact me through Email? I recently had my Email hijacked. I cannot access it any more. I now have a new Email address. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CIC7 ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC) Sorry, I am not blocked! I just made an edit on William Lewis Uanna. I guess I was not logged in! But, can you give me any advice about the Commons upload deletions? Is there an ombudsman? CIC7 ( talk) 21:50, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

You blocked DABustersBar based on block evasion of User:Daveandbusters1345. Callanecc tagged DABusters as a puppet of Daveandbusters1345. However, Daveandbusters1345 is a puppet of David Beals, so I changed the tag. I just blocked Gregory, and I tagged him as a suspected puppet of Beals. Are there two masters here or just one?

Hi, thank you for dealing with the sockpuppet, you are much more useful than that other... user doing nothing but making sarcastic remarks. If I have anymore concerns about a sockpuppet I will directly ask you if that's OK. BTW I noticed a bit higher up the page that a user asked you about me being a sockpuppet, I am very upset/annoyed/frustrated about this as I am not never have been and never will be, and you can check every inch you need to if you want, that user had a disagreement with me a long time a go and was very controlling, anyway thanks again.

Could you take a look at this? I'm not concerned about the block of the creator of the SPI, but I'm not sure if I have the right master. I'm making the most obvious recent connection, but based on some of the comments by others at the SPI, it could be someone else. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your action on this page. I've indefblocked the user in question, and semiprotected the page for a short while to prevent them from coming back with a new account to vandalize it again. -- The Anome ( talk) 19:14, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
The correct master is Jazzman49 ( talk · contribs · count). Other than the extra work, is there any reason not to correct the SPI accordingly?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:28, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
I think you should poke a bit more at the connection you seem to be building between MariaJaydHicky socks and Jazzerino socks. I've dealt with MariaJaydHicky extensively, and I'm confident that she and Jazzerino are separate individuals. I was watching VanillaGreek, having discarded the idea that it was a MariaJaydHicky sock, and was beginning to wonder if it was Jazzerino taunting Dan56 again. This morning, I see the account has been confirmed as MariaJaydHicky.
Obviously, with all that magic pixie dust at your disposal, you can see more than I can, but I worry that there's a BT residential proxy involved here that is blurring your results.— Kww( talk) 14:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Did you mean to suppress all these edits to AN/I? If so, why? - Nick Thorne talk 13:16, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
I just indeffed this account as a troll, although I also suspected sock puppetry. I then looked at one of the articles the user edited, Egged, and his edit was pretty much the same as that of User:FQ Examiner, a suspected puppet of User:Shalom Yechiel. If you feel like looking into this, let me know.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 21:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Since you're an admin with checkuser, I was wondering if you could check these three accounts out: Dariusjcarter15 ( talk), Dontrell380 ( talk), and Facundopinto ( talk). All three strictly edit BLP articles; the first two were the earliest and have been blocked for vandalizing BLPs, particularly Cari Champion, where they made the same exact edit repeatedly-- this revision to the infobox which was just done by Facundopinto. All three have been warned repeatedly, and this article has been protected in response to their edits. Dan56 ( talk) 06:49, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Can you block the ip vandal (86.129...) that corrupted the article of Haplogroup P-M45 and many other articles? ArordineriiiUkhtt ( talk) 00:42, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
I am right that a CU is not possible in this case, aren't I? If for some reason I'm not, I'll endorse it. Based on the ANI discussion, in my view the two accounts should be indeffed based on the egregious deception. Why no one at ANI took that action is beyond me. I'm willing to do that on my own, though, but I'm unconvinced that the accounts are socks of Afro-Eurasian. They might be socks of someone, and they might even be socks of Afro-Eurasian, but the evidence isn't there despite poor Saroko's best efforts and many points. Anyway, let me know about the CU issue. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 00:04, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello. It's been quite a while. As per the new conditions I outlined on my talk page, I will bring all edit requests related to SPI pages to an admin before carrying them out (and only if they comply). Can I please remove the excessive sock/sockmaster tags added by another IP? When I'm done, only the confirmed tag will be remaining, based on the Checkuser results at User:Altimgamr's SPI archives. I believe that the extra tags are unnecessary, and only serve to clutter up the page, and possibly cause some complications in the categories to which they link. However, I will await your permission before taking any action. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 00:31, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, can you tell me what happens ?, not understand the truth; I myself have long said that the account "Chema" was mine, I do not understand because they take this again, I know it has to do.-- Damián (talk) 13:12, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Can I please delete the first "13 July 2014" log from User:Altimgamr's SPI archives? It is nearly identical to the second copy of the report, minus an additional statement that is present in the second version only, so the first version is basically redundant.

Hi DoRD, noticed your rearranging of those SPI archives (thanks!). Just to give you the heads up, we noticed some oddities in the CU results on that one which I'll write into a security bugzilla later today when I have a chance. Also, several of these accounts seem to have either been created on Meta or have stuck their nose on other projects (not sure quite what they're doing) so maybe we need to consider alerting CU-L and/or having the accounts globally blocked? Thoughts would be appreciated. Risker ( talk) 18:20, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello DoRD, since the check user on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Monterrosa indicated that User:Spartacus905 was not related to the sockmaster, is this edit warring here not extremely inappropriate? In my own opinion is it pretty clear they are separate people, yet the user will not give it up. STATic message me! 05:37, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Reminder: The C/U stated User:Spartacus905 didn't appear to be related to Monterossa. It was not a conclusive finding. I still believe strongly based on several factors that the Spartacus account is, indeed, Monterrosa. There is still a suspicion, hence, the tag on Spartacus' page. And may I remind you both that Spartacus has ceased editing and has never come to the SPI to plead his/her case that they aren't a sockpuppet. This is a typical behavior of Monterossa socks. All that, plus the User Comparison Report (here: [5] gives a very strong case for WP:DUCK. That is why I believe the suspicion of socking tag should stay. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 05:45, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I can see you added tags to some of the user pages on blocked sockpuppet accounts from Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Aldota.

Hello, first of all; I have the right to have another account, second not created to avoid any locks or anything like that, I do not understand why you block my account. If when the problem that was generated with the user Ricardo80 I did not use that account. Now my one wonder if it was my business the Chema account, so that would not explain nor lied about who he was. So I request you to unblock my other account. This user Ricardo80 is only upset because I'm enforcing the rules of wikipedia.-- GeorgeMilan TALK2ME 16:13, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello, sir. Given the present confusion at User:HoshiNoKaabii2000's SPI, can I please revert the redirects I placed in the SPI archives of both HoshiNoKaabii2000 and WangsDaringsFun? Thank you. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 20:37, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Fram closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natalie White because it was full of socks (for example, you blocked the nominator, King Nebuchadnezzar II), but it was promptly reverted by another user; his contributions show that this was his first edit outside of userspace, and made less than an hour and a half after he registered. Is more checkuser activity warranted? I'd like to block the account immediately, as this is a duck-with-megaphone situation in my eyes, but I'm not familiar enough with the case and might mark him as the sock of the wrong person or make some other confusing statement. Nyttend ( talk) 03:13, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Part of what makes for a confusing case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/D62943 is the bicoastal activity of the accounts. The original D62943 grouping appears to be based in New Jersey while the Geoffrey100 grouping appears to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The topics of interest include TV and (mostly) radio stations, shopping malls or retail districts, and various Chinese-related topics. Rschen7754 can probably offer some insight, having early experience with the socks. Binksternet ( talk) 18:37, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
You did the CU on the above report. Another report has been opened at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AmirSurfLera. Does the second report make any sense in light of the first?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 20:55, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
After a period of quiet, it looks possible that Dd1234 has returned, this time as User:DinFin. The suite of articles editied is slightly different but overlaps with Dd1234's interest in Matt and Kim, and the pattern of editing (i.e. additng unsourced dates, creating articles about borderline notable people, always editing from a mobile device) is the same. I think it's worth a look, if you agree. BMK ( talk) 18:31, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Just FYI, I'm keeping on eye on User:MichaelBatch, just created, whose only edit has been to remove the sockpuppetry tag from Dd1234's user page. BMK ( talk) 20:50, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

I stumbled to a user who says that he retired from his original account, and opened a new one, which would constitute a clean start per WP:SOCK#LEGIT. He then says that he edited under an IP, and now he is returned from retirement on his original account, and the second account he created claims that the user is on a wiki-break. If I read the clean start section correctly, this is illegal, correct? He could have abandoned the second account only if he went and created a fresh third (or fourth, fifth...) account?

Callanecc had also forgot to tag once, so it might be natural but shouldn't be overlooked. Can you tag all users that have been confirmed on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/L'Aquotique? Thanks OccultZone ( Talk • Contributions • Log) 15:51, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Can you explain to me why I have been blocked. This happened right after I asked for help with a problem I am having with individuals removing uploads I put on Category:Bud Uanna on Commons. I started Category:Bud Uanna on Commons and the Wikipedia listing for William Lewis Uanna - who is my father. My question about Commons is: Is there an appeal to removing uploads? It appears that someone can claim Copyright infringement and remove uploads without having to prove if an actual Copyright infringement exists. What exactly did I do to be blocked. Did someone try to contact me through Email? I recently had my Email hijacked. I cannot access it any more. I now have a new Email address. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CIC7 ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC) Sorry, I am not blocked! I just made an edit on William Lewis Uanna.

You blocked DABustersBar based on block evasion of User:Daveandbusters1345. Callanecc tagged DABusters as a puppet of Daveandbusters1345. However, Daveandbusters1345 is a puppet of David Beals, so I changed the tag. I just blocked Gregory, and I tagged him as a suspected puppet of Beals. Are there two masters here or just one?

Hi, thank you for dealing with the sockpuppet, you are much more useful than that other... user doing nothing but making sarcastic remarks. If I have anymore concerns about a sockpuppet I will directly ask you if that's OK. BTW I noticed a bit higher up the page that a user asked you about me being a sockpuppet, I am very upset/annoyed/frustrated about this as I am not never have been and never will be, and you can check every inch you need to if you want, that user had a disagreement with me a long time a go and was very controlling, anyway thanks again.

Could you take a look at this? I'm not concerned about the block of the creator of the SPI, but I'm not sure if I have the right master.

I think you should poke a bit more at the connection you seem to be building between MariaJaydHicky socks and Jazzerino socks. I've dealt with MariaJaydHicky extensively, and I'm confident that she and Jazzerino are separate individuals. I was watching VanillaGreek, having discarded the idea that it was a MariaJaydHicky sock, and was beginning to wonder if it was Jazzerino taunting Dan56 again. This morning, I see the account has been confirmed as MariaJaydHicky.
Obviously, with all that magic pixie dust at your disposal, you can see more than I can, but I worry that there's a BT residential proxy involved here that is blurring your results.— Kww( talk) 14:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Did you mean to suppress all these edits to AN/I? If so, why? - Nick Thorne talk 13:16, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
I just indeffed this account as a troll, although I also suspected sock puppetry. I then looked at one of the articles the user edited, Egged, and his edit was pretty much the same as that of User:FQ Examiner, a suspected puppet of User:Shalom Yechiel. If you feel like looking into this, let me know.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 21:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Since you're an admin with checkuser, I was wondering if you could check these three accounts out: Dariusjcarter15 ( talk), Dontrell380 ( talk), and Facundopinto ( talk). All three strictly edit BLP articles; the first two were the earliest and have been blocked for vandalizing BLPs, particularly Cari Champion, where they made the same exact edit repeatedly-- this revision to the infobox which was just done by Facundopinto. All three have been warned repeatedly, and this article has been protected in response to their edits. Dan56 ( talk) 06:49, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Can you block the ip vandal (86.129...) that corrupted the article of Haplogroup P-M45 and many other articles? ArordineriiiUkhtt ( talk) 00:42, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
I am right that a CU is not possible in this case, aren't I? If for some reason I'm not, I'll endorse it. Based on the ANI discussion, in my view the two accounts should be indeffed based on the egregious deception. Why no one at ANI took that action is beyond me. I'm willing to do that on my own, though, but I'm unconvinced that the accounts are socks of Afro-Eurasian. They might be socks of someone, and they might even be socks of Afro-Eurasian, but the evidence isn't there despite poor Saroko's best efforts and many points. Anyway, let me know about the CU issue. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 00:04, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello. It's been quite a while. As per the new conditions I outlined on my talk page, I will bring all edit requests related to SPI pages to an admin before carrying them out (and only if they comply). Can I please remove the excessive sock/sockmaster tags added by another IP? When I'm done, only the confirmed tag will be remaining, based on the Checkuser results at User:Altimgamr's SPI archives. I believe that the extra tags are unnecessary, and only serve to clutter up the page, and possibly cause some complications in the categories to which they link. However, I will await your permission before taking any action. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 00:31, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Can I please delete the first "13 July 2014" log from User:Altimgamr's SPI archives? It is nearly identical to the second copy of the report, minus an additional statement that is present in the second version only, so the first version is basically redundant.

Hi DoRD, noticed your rearranging of those SPI archives (thanks!). Just to give you the heads up, we noticed some oddities in the CU results on that one which I'll write into a security bugzilla later today when I have a chance. Also, several of these accounts seem to have either been created on Meta or have stuck their nose on other projects (not sure quite what they're doing) so maybe we need to consider alerting CU-L and/or having the accounts globally blocked? Thoughts would be appreciated. Risker ( talk) 18:20, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello DoRD, since the check user on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Monterrosa indicated that User:Spartacus905 was not related to the sockmaster, is this edit warring here not extremely inappropriate? In my own opinion is it pretty clear they are separate people, yet the user will not give it up. STATic message me! 05:37, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Reminder: The C/U stated User:Spartacus905 didn't appear to be related to Monterossa. It was not a conclusive finding. I still believe strongly based on several factors that the Spartacus account is, indeed, Monterrosa. There is still a suspicion, hence, the tag on Spartacus' page. And may I remind you both that Spartacus has ceased editing and has never come to the SPI to plead his/her case that they aren't a sockpuppet. This is a typical behavior of Monterossa socks. All that, plus the User Comparison Report (here: [5] gives a very strong case for WP:DUCK. That is why I believe the suspicion of socking tag should stay. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 05:45, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I can see you added tags to some of the user pages on blocked sockpuppet accounts from Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Aldota. However, it would appear that one-by-one throwaway IPs are vandalising these user pages by removing or amending the tags so the account no longer appears in the category.
I have restored all the tags on all the account I have found, however, you may wish to add the userpages to your watchlist to monitor any potential future vandalism or protect the pages, thanks take care. Tanbircdq ( talk) 21:25, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
