I know it's like, 2 weeks after my initial report of Kafkabade and Mintbolas2 in an SPI ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Bodyoaken2/Archive), but I recently looked through CentralAuth and noticed that some of the socks have been engaging in some cross wiki abuse shortly after they were blocked ( /info/en/?search=Special:CentralAuth?target=Mintbolas2), ( /info/en/?search=Special:CentralAuth?target=Hamsasia). They seem to be making the same types of edits on the other wikis (replacing text with text from Lithuanian Wikipedia).
Just wanted to notify you as you were the checkuser who blocked these socks earlier. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 04:00, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
I saw you have mentioned me on ANI, but you seem to have missed what I was reverting. Alt News and The Print are frequently removed by Indian-far right editors who wish to create false balance between those 2 with OpIndia and Swarajya (magazine) the black listed sources. [1] I had asked the user why they made this edit which seemed like whitewashing and I had no response. Abhishek0831996 ( talk) 13:54, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Good to see you on my page. Hope all is well. That edit by "Not welcome at da SD" was totally bizarre, I was going to write "I have no idea who you are, but #1) I wrote the article and #2) my edit removed a hidden error message. I have never performed any action that vandalized the encyclopedia. Clearly, you do not know what you are speaking of", but I see they have been indefinitely blocked.

Kyle Idleman was created today. Their first two edits were to blank their userpage and Talk page. Then they made a slew of edits at WP:RFPP asking for protection of political bios, none of which had any merit, apparently under arbitration enforcement (see the user's Talk page). The only other edits also had to do with protection of yet another political article on MelanieN's Talk page. I don't know if this rings any bells for you, but even if it doesn't, it screams sock for me and is enough, IMO, to justify a check.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:14, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

What is the difference beween the tags "Mobile edit Mobile web edit" and "Mobile edit Mobile web edit Advanced mobile edit"? Is there a difference in the UAs? I never edit with a mobile; nor do I understand what "web edit" means in this context, although I vaguely recall editors mentioning some sort of special website for editing Wikipedia with a mobile.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 18:13, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

This sockmaster is now sockpuppeting as Theeditpolice ( talk · contribs), and when the discussion got brought up by Pauline Muley on AukusRuckus' talk page, they got incredibly defensive and started disruptively blanking the conversation. This behavior is also identical to Buger677 ( talk · contribs) on the same talk page ( 1, 2 and 3), a confirmed sock of Jacobkennedy. After being reverted twice by Johnbod and Pauline Muley, a single purpose account by the name of Ikipi ( talk · contribs), which is almost definitely yet another sock, appeared to reinforce and disruptively blank the conversion as well. 1.53.222.123 ( talk) 03:04, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Girth Summit (or any friendly talk page stalker). Could I get a second opinion on my block of Special:Contributions/49.237.0.0/18? I don't normally do non-/64 rangeblocks, so I just want to make sure I haven't done something especially boneheaded. The individual I'm trying to block has been floating all around this range ( 49.237.13.190, 49.237.39.216, 49.237.33.219, etc.) and I can tell from [3] that the /18 is the narrowest range possible, but I know it's a wide range with a fair number of other people affected—some of them constructive, some of them not. My instinct is that the tradeoff is worth it given the substantial disruption and the fact that any innocent editors can just go to WP:ACC, but this is way out of my wheelhouse, so I just wanted to run it past someone more familiar with these things. Hope you're well! Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 07:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
On 30 April 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rutherford's Monument, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 56-foot-tall (17 m) monument (pictured) to the theologian Samuel Rutherford near his parish church in Anwoth was badly damaged by a lightning strike five years after its construction? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rutherford's Monument. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Rutherford's Monument), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for your kind words. I have been writing and expanding articles on WP since 2006, and I include infoboxes where, for example, a Wikiproject prefers them, but I do not include them in bios where the Lead section does a much more nuanced and contextual job of introducing the subject. You are correct that it is very frustrating to have worked hard to create and maintain an article, and then have people shove an infobox into it who actually have no interest in the article at all, and merely want to insist that all (higher quality) articles mush have them. As I noted in the discussion, this proposed infobox is particularly bad. It includes supposed "associated acts", when this person does not have any such thing, and the inaccurate and ultra-trivial "creator awards". Also, the "subscriber" number is silly, as nearly all of her vlog fans also subscribe to her main channel, and most of them also subscribe to her Miranda Sings channel. The main argument given by the other editor is that he can't be bothered to figure out her age from her birthdate, which is shown in the first line of the article. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 20:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2023).
Yesterday I blocked DaveDagnaw, mainly for promoting Draft:Henok Wendmu. Today Newac333 was created and edited the draft and its Talk page (I've reverted the edits). Based on the unclarified comments on Dagnaw's Talk page about the relationship he has with Wendmu ("I know him from work"), and the fact that they use different editing platforms, I suspect this is meat puppetry rather than sock puppetry, but I was hoping you could check to see. I can open an SPI if you prefer. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 11:15, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
I know the accounts are stale, but you've apparently found the CU data helpful based on the last entry in the archive. I suspect Atingle. Many edits to existing martial artists, creation of new ones, a bunch of newcomer tasks, cross-wiki edits, and clearly focused, although not exclusively, on Muay Thai. Here's a page intersection between Atingle and a JRM2018 sock. As an aside, I've seen other sock farms that Atingle might be a part of, but JRM2018 seems to be the best fit.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:30, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
Working on the backlog at CAT:UNB and came across User talk:Theonetwoandthree which has been sitting around unactioned for a few months. Before I decline, do you have any commentary?

I noticed Angerxiety because they just voted at the RfA. I was struck by the edit summary (they use these apparently gibberish edit summaries frequently - possible it's some weird dialect but, if so, I can't identify it) and the username itself. I then looked at their userpage and saw all those alternative accounts. As for their edits to spaces other than userspace, where they spend far too much time, they have created some very odd drafts. Maybe it's just a kid or a troll, or a combination, but it's downright weird. And, regardless, they should stop creating alternative accounts, declared or not. Up to you whether to look deeper.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:16, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Girth Summit,
I hope this finds you well. I've recently filed a sockpuppet investigation on a group of editors I am very suspicious of socking, meatpuppetry, paid editing, and/or building seeming consensus with multiple accounts in AfD. There have been cases of even fishier comments by IPs or logged out editors. Even just a few hours ago, a random IP casted WP:ASPERSIONS on an editor who noted possible sock/meatpuppetry. Could you take a look at this case? I am sure there are more urgent sockpuppetry cases, and reaching out to admins like this may not be fair, but it kind of makes me uneasy to see that it may be too late. Either way, thank you for your time. Aintabli ( talk) 19:24, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

You may want to look at the edits of AnaphoreJT. AnaphoreJT is copying your deletion rationales ( you, AnaphoreJT) and nominating MoroccanEd's articles for deletion.

I only edited the talk page of Display name 99 only because they replied to me, so I replied back. Had to explain myself and then finally just quit talking.

Hello Girth Summit - hope you're doing well. Sorry for bothering you, but I thought it would make the most sense to write to you regarding this. Basically, it's about Solavirum. This IP range 5.134.48.0/20, which was being used by them and as a result blocked by you [4] has been pretty active since the block expired. I have interacted with this range a few times myself, and even after its recent block expired, the majority of their edits have still been reverted. In other words, the disruption is still at large, and the IPs in this range are still too much smart for their own good, displaying the behaviour of one who is pretty familiar with Wikipedia [5] [6]. I would greatly appreciate it if another block could be made to this range. HistoryofIran ( talk) 19:20, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi, saw your note about using AIV rather than reporting socks the way I've been doing it. I have been using Twinkle for that. Is there a way to report via AIV with Twinkle? If not, what you recommend as the best way to report the IP addresses on AIV? Wes sideman ( talk) 16:24, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Girth Summit: I was trying to set up my doppelganger Aafi on this Wiki but it appears that the underlying IP has been blocked. I get an error: "Auto-creation of a local account failed", "The IP address or range 2409:40D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/35 has been blocked (disabled) by Girth Summit".

I noticed that a few weeks ago you edited Dorian Rhea Debussy. I've been editing that article for a while, and have been cleaning up after the multiple socks and IP socks. At this point, I'm considering nominating the article for deletion and wonder if you could give me your opinion. Most of the the article is sourced by campus magazines, or by a local magazine called The Buckeye Flame. When national publications are cited, it is just for a quote by this person, and often that is because of their professional role. Any biographical info is from campus magazines. I'm not sure this article passes WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. Your opinion would be appreciated. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 18:59, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay, time to atone for your sins. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shāntián Tàiláng and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Eleutherius. Similarities: (1) Filers are both new users whose only edit is to create an SPI; (2) Filers have no edits at other projects; (3) Filers have colorful usernames. Dissimilarities: (1) The Eleutherius report is long and complex, whereas the other is quite short; (2) CU was requested on the Eleutherius report and not on the other. One other note: the filer of the Shāntián Tàiláng report chose a username similar to the suspected sock. Don't know whether you'll find this enough to compare the two users, but, if nothing else, it permits me to use the word "gallivanting" again.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:51, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hope all is well. I was working on an article on Nasta Rojc, which led me to Vera Holme and then to her partner, Margaret Ker. Ker is Alice Stewart Ker's daughter. According to this she was born about 1893 (mother's article says 1892), was a student at Liverpool University, and suffragette. Apparently she did manage to get her degree, despite being locked up. She then joined the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service and was abroad until 1923. Maddingly, I only know what this says (I have the full chapter via e-mail from the RX), which is she helped build the orphanage after the war with other SWH veterans and returned to Scotland with Holme and Greenlees in 1923. And there is a tiny bit here after she left the ménage à trois. Just curious if you can find anything on your side of the pond or in the lochs nearby? SusunW ( talk) 18:55, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Whoever's editing from the /64 of 2402:800:6344:2A73:0:0:0:0 seems to have identical obsessions and behaviors to Haiyenslna, aka the Akane Yamaguchi spammer whom you've blocked (or maybe just checked?) in the past.

Thank you for finding all these sock puppets. This editor has a long standing problem with creating hoaxes. That said, their recent edits often contain good stuff - I am unsure if they have changed their ways or if they are just trying to lull us into accepting their presence. That being said, if you see me restoring some content that you reverted, such as at Bedford CF, it in no way means that I am opposed to these blocks or that I am part of the problem.

Sorry to mither but I am at the end of my tether. It's certainly WP:TE, arguably WP:CIR, when I am repeatedly having to make the same points. The entire thread, as with so many others involving them, just becomes a merry-go-round of IDHT behaviour. And although they retracted at ANI their claim that I am being racist, they're still banging on about how I seem to be deleting all things Sindhi, which is ludicrous. - Sitush ( talk) 14:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi User:Girth_Summit, thanks for your comment at AIV. It looks like that was definitely the wrong place to report this kind of thing, and it looks like maybe no such place exists? Let me know if there's some place I should leave a comment like that in the future! Obviously, I'm not able to revert multi-page vandalism, but I assume it will get naturally cleaned up by future editors. You mentioned talking to them: is that still the recommended strategy for "old" vandalism like this case? I don't see any evidence they're still editing or would look at their talk page, but I can certainly point them to MOS:BOLD. Suriname0 ( talk) 20:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
And at an Admin's talk page User talk:Abecedare#Fayninja. I've been meaning to say that one of my pet peeves is that when you blank your talk page it looks as though no one has ever posted on it. So a casual visitor to their talk page would assume they weren't blocked. Doug Weller talk 07:45, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Howdy,
While I understand normally this is the sort of thing that would be taken to ANI and the like, to put it bluntly I'm inexperienced in regards to ANI and saw it fit to ask you (an active admin there) for advice/input before pursuing any sort of case.
User:Baratiiman seems to have issues that, at least to me, fall under WP:CIR; the bulk of their edits, to a wide variety of pages, seem to indicate a less than stellar handle on English (to the point of needing significant cleanup; I've personally dealt with it semi-frequently at Portal:Current events. Many are poorly-worded/formatted, and they often seem to lack enough relevance for inclusion on the pages affected; they also seem to rarely properly format their sources, instead leaving bare URLs (if a source at all). The same effectively goes for the articles they've created and drafted, with a laundry list of CS1 errors on their talk page serving as further evidence. It also seems they've been blocked once for edit-warring.
In short, am I being far too paranoid on this, or is it worth bringing it to ANI at any point? The Kip ( talk) 17:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey Girth Summit. You closed and blocked the previous SPI on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Andrew5, so I wanted to let you know that I just reported five of the possible socks again. One possible sock commented in a DYK nomination, which is why I am alerting you, so a SPI can be checked before DYK nomination would proceed. The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 04:24, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Zrhardesty01? Thus far, they've only done fires, including some edited by other socks, so without other earmarks of this master, I'm reluctant to block without technical confirmation. Also, the account registered last January, so they could have been discovered when you ran checks (they didn't edit until yesterday). You're probably gone for the day, but it can wait until tomorrow - something fun to do when you first get up. :-) -- Bbb23 ( talk) 21:52, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).
Interface administrator changes
Hi there! My apologies for creating an account - I only wanted to use this to talk to you, that's all. I have no other option to the best of my knowledge.
As you may know, I was labelled a sock puppet of a user named @WorldWar1989. There was indeed sock puppetry on my part (after I was blocked on July 16th), but I am not a sock of WorldWar1989. .
I believe I was linked by Checkuser to WorldWar1989 in the first place was because the User “Yue” first presented my case under the WorldWar1989 sock puppet investigation page, linking tenuous similarities between my accounts and WorldWar1989. Therefore, that was how admins got check-user to link me and WorldWar1989. However, later you said “Not sure who this is, but I don’t think this is WorldWar1989.” Another says: “I generally agree with your findings that this is a different user.”
All of those accounts in that investigation page are mine - except for WorldWar1989, Starfish12342, and TheGreatMan1969. I can't comment on the IPs due to privacy policy.
Additionally, when @Yue first raised my case to the WorldWar1989 sock puppet page, he wrote this:
"A few days after TheGreatman1969 is blocked, the user Jumopil is created and makes several edits." He went on to say that account and my mine was about the topic of Viet reunification on a certain page.
However:

Further to your closure of this SPI, you asked for a report back if there were further accounts.
There was another user who also participated in the repetitive restoration of the unsourced content at Zurich. Of course: it could be just an astonishing coincidence that they have a very similar account name to ORT5000 and that they both self identify as Swiss, but I doubt it. The relevant diffs are [13] and [14]. The account name is ZH8000 in case I screwed the diffs up. It has to be at least worth a look. 86.177.26.80 ( talk) 15:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
The parade of socks has been continuing awhile with actions from various admins, but now there is a new twist with a User:Mission Q8 sock, User:Bravo Basel reinserting the offending unreferenced paragraph at Culture of Switzerland (now blocked as part of the sock parade).
The twist is that yet another sock, User:DuncanHill has taken up repeatedly restoring the offending paragraph (without providing the obligatory referencing, of course) here, here and here. Although I did state that I originally believed that they were making a good faith mistake, they resorted to that other give away characteristic where they accuse others of being a sock because they are deleting the paragraph. 86.177.26.80 ( talk) 13:30, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

I know it's like, 2 weeks after my initial report of Kafkabade and Mintbolas2 in an SPI ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Bodyoaken2/Archive), but I recently looked through CentralAuth and noticed that some of the socks have been engaging in some cross wiki abuse shortly after they were blocked ( /info/en/?search=Special:CentralAuth?target=Mintbolas2), ( /info/en/?search=Special:CentralAuth?target=Hamsasia). They seem to be making the same types of edits on the other wikis (replacing text with text from Lithuanian Wikipedia).

Kyle Idleman was created today. Their first two edits were to blank their userpage and Talk page. Then they made a slew of edits at WP:RFPP asking for protection of political bios, none of which had any merit, apparently under arbitration enforcement (see the user's Talk page). The only other edits also had to do with protection of yet another political article on MelanieN's Talk page. I don't know if this rings any bells for you, but even if it doesn't, it screams sock for me and is enough, IMO, to justify a check.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:14, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

This sockmaster is now sockpuppeting as Theeditpolice ( talk · contribs), and when the discussion got brought up by Pauline Muley on AukusRuckus' talk page, they got incredibly defensive and started disruptively blanking the conversation. This behavior is also identical to Buger677 ( talk · contribs) on the same talk page ( 1, 2 and 3), a confirmed sock of Jacobkennedy. After being reverted twice by Johnbod and Pauline Muley, a single purpose account by the name of Ikipi ( talk · contribs), which is almost definitely yet another sock, appeared to reinforce and disruptively blank the conversion as well. 1.53.222.123 ( talk) 03:04, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Girth Summit (or any friendly talk page stalker). Could I get a second opinion on my block of Special:Contributions/49.237.0.0/18? I don't normally do non-/64 rangeblocks, so I just want to make sure I haven't done something especially boneheaded. The individual I'm trying to block has been floating all around this range ( 49.237.13.190, 49.237.39.216, 49.237.33.219, etc.) and I can tell from [3] that the /18 is the narrowest range possible, but I know it's a wide range with a fair number of other people affected—some of them constructive, some of them not. My instinct is that the tradeoff is worth it given the substantial disruption and the fact that any innocent editors can just go to WP:ACC, but this is way out of my wheelhouse, so I just wanted to run it past someone more familiar with these things. Hope you're well! Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 07:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
On 30 April 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rutherford's Monument, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 56-foot-tall (17 m) monument (pictured) to the theologian Samuel Rutherford near his parish church in Anwoth was badly damaged by a lightning strike five years after its construction? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rutherford's Monument. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Rutherford's Monument), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for your kind words. I have been writing and expanding articles on WP since 2006, and I include infoboxes where, for example, a Wikiproject prefers them, but I do not include them in bios where the Lead section does a much more nuanced and contextual job of introducing the subject. You are correct that it is very frustrating to have worked hard to create and maintain an article, and then have people shove an infobox into it who actually have no interest in the article at all, and merely want to insist that all (higher quality) articles mush have them. As I noted in the discussion, this proposed infobox is particularly bad. It includes supposed "associated acts", when this person does not have any such thing, and the inaccurate and ultra-trivial "creator awards". Also, the "subscriber" number is silly, as nearly all of her vlog fans also subscribe to her main channel, and most of them also subscribe to her Miranda Sings channel. The main argument given by the other editor is that he can't be bothered to figure out her age from her birthdate, which is shown in the first line of the article. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 20:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2023).
Yesterday I blocked DaveDagnaw, mainly for promoting Draft:Henok Wendmu. Today Newac333 was created and edited the draft and its Talk page (I've reverted the edits). Based on the unclarified comments on Dagnaw's Talk page about the relationship he has with Wendmu ("I know him from work"), and the fact that they use different editing platforms, I suspect this is meat puppetry rather than sock puppetry, but I was hoping you could check to see. I can open an SPI if you prefer. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 11:15, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
I know the accounts are stale, but you've apparently found the CU data helpful based on the last entry in the archive. I suspect Atingle. Many edits to existing martial artists, creation of new ones, a bunch of newcomer tasks, cross-wiki edits, and clearly focused, although not exclusively, on Muay Thai. Here's a page intersection between Atingle and a JRM2018 sock. As an aside, I've seen other sock farms that Atingle might be a part of, but JRM2018 seems to be the best fit.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:30, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

I noticed Angerxiety because they just voted at the RfA. I was struck by the edit summary (they use these apparently gibberish edit summaries frequently - possible it's some weird dialect but, if so, I can't identify it) and the username itself. I then looked at their userpage and saw all those alternative accounts. As for their edits to spaces other than userspace, where they spend far too much time, they have created some very odd drafts. Maybe it's just a kid or a troll, or a combination, but it's downright weird. And, regardless, they should stop creating alternative accounts, declared or not. Up to you whether to look deeper.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:16, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Girth Summit,
I hope this finds you well. I've recently filed a sockpuppet investigation on a group of editors I am very suspicious of socking, meatpuppetry, paid editing, and/or building seeming consensus with multiple accounts in AfD. There have been cases of even fishier comments by IPs or logged out editors. Even just a few hours ago, a random IP casted WP:ASPERSIONS on an editor who noted possible sock/meatpuppetry. Could you take a look at this case? I am sure there are more urgent sockpuppetry cases, and reaching out to admins like this may not be fair, but it kind of makes me uneasy to see that it may be too late. Either way, thank you for your time. Aintabli ( talk) 19:24, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Girth Summit - hope you're doing well. Sorry for bothering you, but I thought it would make the most sense to write to you regarding this. Basically, it's about Solavirum. This IP range 5.134.48.0/20, which was being used by them and as a result blocked by you [4] has been pretty active since the block expired. I have interacted with this range a few times myself, and even after its recent block expired, the majority of their edits have still been reverted. In other words, the disruption is still at large, and the IPs in this range are still too much smart for their own good, displaying the behaviour of one who is pretty familiar with Wikipedia [5] [6]. I would greatly appreciate it if another block could be made to this range. HistoryofIran ( talk) 19:20, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi, saw your note about using AIV rather than reporting socks the way I've been doing it. I have been using Twinkle for that. Is there a way to report via AIV with Twinkle? If not, what you recommend as the best way to report the IP addresses on AIV? Wes sideman ( talk) 16:24, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Girth Summit: I was trying to set up my doppelganger Aafi on this Wiki but it appears that the underlying IP has been blocked. I get an error: "Auto-creation of a local account failed", "The IP address or range 2409:40D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/35 has been blocked (disabled) by Girth Summit". Is there a way to bypass this error and have the local account auto-created here? Regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 08:21, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

I noticed that a few weeks ago you edited Dorian Rhea Debussy. I've been editing that article for a while, and have been cleaning up after the multiple socks and IP socks. At this point, I'm considering nominating the article for deletion and wonder if you could give me your opinion. Most of the the article is sourced by campus magazines, or by a local magazine called The Buckeye Flame. When national publications are cited, it is just for a quote by this person, and often that is because of their professional role. Any biographical info is from campus magazines. I'm not sure this article passes WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. Your opinion would be appreciated. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 18:59, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay, time to atone for your sins. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shāntián Tàiláng and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Eleutherius. Similarities: (1) Filers are both new users whose only edit is to create an SPI; (2) Filers have no edits at other projects; (3) Filers have colorful usernames. Dissimilarities: (1) The Eleutherius report is long and complex, whereas the other is quite short; (2) CU was requested on the Eleutherius report and not on the other. One other note: the filer of the Shāntián Tàiláng report chose a username similar to the suspected sock. Don't know whether you'll find this enough to compare the two users, but, if nothing else, it permits me to use the word "gallivanting" again.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:51, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hope all is well. I was working on an article on Nasta Rojc, which led me to Vera Holme and then to her partner, Margaret Ker. Ker is Alice Stewart Ker's daughter. According to this she was born about 1893 (mother's article says 1892), was a student at Liverpool University, and suffragette. Apparently she did manage to get her degree, despite being locked up. She then joined the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service and was abroad until 1923. Maddingly, I only know what this says (I have the full chapter via e-mail from the RX), which is she helped build the orphanage after the war with other SWH veterans and returned to Scotland with Holme and Greenlees in 1923. And there is a tiny bit here after she left the ménage à trois. Just curious if you can find anything on your side of the pond or in the lochs nearby? SusunW ( talk) 18:55, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Whoever's editing from the /64 of 2402:800:6344:2A73:0:0:0:0 seems to have identical obsessions and behaviors to Haiyenslna, aka the Akane Yamaguchi spammer whom you've blocked (or maybe just checked?) in the past.

Editors at this ANI discussion have expressed concern about the possibility the user of concern is a previously blocked editor under a new account name.
I provided a summary of issues here. Looking for advice - is WP:CHK warranted? Zefr ( talk) 05:44, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for finding all these sock puppets. This editor has a long standing problem with creating hoaxes. That said, their recent edits often contain good stuff - I am unsure if they have changed their ways or if they are just trying to lull us into accepting their presence. That being said, if you see me restoring some content that you reverted, such as at Bedford CF, it in no way means that I am opposed to these blocks or that I am part of the problem. I am reading the sources first. Best, Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:18, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Sorry to mither but I am at the end of my tether. It's certainly WP:TE, arguably WP:CIR, when I am repeatedly having to make the same points. The entire thread, as with so many others involving them, just becomes a merry-go-round of IDHT behaviour. And although they retracted at ANI their claim that I am being racist, they're still banging on about how I seem to be deleting all things Sindhi, which is ludicrous. - Sitush ( talk) 14:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi User:Girth_Summit, thanks for your comment at AIV. It looks like that was definitely the wrong place to report this kind of thing, and it looks like maybe no such place exists? Let me know if there's some place I should leave a comment like that in the future! Obviously, I'm not able to revert multi-page vandalism, but I assume it will get naturally cleaned up by future editors. You mentioned talking to them: is that still the recommended strategy for "old" vandalism like this case? I don't see any evidence they're still editing or would look at their talk page, but I can certainly point them to MOS:BOLD. Suriname0 ( talk) 20:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
And at an Admin's talk page User talk:Abecedare#Fayninja. I've been meaning to say that one of my pet peeves is that when you blank your talk page it looks as though no one has ever posted on it. So a casual visitor to their talk page would assume they weren't blocked. Doug Weller talk 07:45, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Howdy,
While I understand normally this is the sort of thing that would be taken to ANI and the like, to put it bluntly I'm inexperienced in regards to ANI and saw it fit to ask you (an active admin there) for advice/input before pursuing any sort of case.
User:Baratiiman seems to have issues that, at least to me, fall under WP:CIR; the bulk of their edits, to a wide variety of pages, seem to indicate a less than stellar handle on English (to the point of needing significant cleanup; I've personally dealt with it semi-frequently at Portal:Current events. Many are poorly-worded/formatted, and they often seem to lack enough relevance for inclusion on the pages affected; they also seem to rarely properly format their sources, instead leaving bare URLs (if a source at all). The same effectively goes for the articles they've created and drafted, with a laundry list of CS1 errors on their talk page serving as further evidence. It also seems they've been blocked once for edit-warring.
In short, am I being far too paranoid on this, or is it worth bringing it to ANI at any point? The Kip ( talk) 17:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey Girth Summit. You closed and blocked the previous SPI on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Andrew5, so I wanted to let you know that I just reported five of the possible socks again. One possible sock commented in a DYK nomination, which is why I am alerting you, so a SPI can be checked before DYK nomination would proceed. The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 04:24, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Zrhardesty01? Thus far, they've only done fires, including some edited by other socks, so without other earmarks of this master, I'm reluctant to block without technical confirmation. Also, the account registered last January, so they could have been discovered when you ran checks (they didn't edit until yesterday). You're probably gone for the day, but it can wait until tomorrow - something fun to do when you first get up. :-) -- Bbb23 ( talk) 21:52, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).
Interface administrator changes
Hi there! My apologies for creating an account - I only wanted to use this to talk to you, that's all. I have no other option to the best of my knowledge.
As you may know, I was labelled a sock puppet of a user named @WorldWar1989. There was indeed sock puppetry on my part (after I was blocked on July 16th), but I am not a sock of WorldWar1989. .
I believe I was linked by Checkuser to WorldWar1989 in the first place was because the User “Yue” first presented my case under the WorldWar1989 sock puppet investigation page, linking tenuous similarities between my accounts and WorldWar1989. Therefore, that was how admins got check-user to link me and WorldWar1989. However, later you said “Not sure who this is, but I don’t think this is WorldWar1989.” Another says: “I generally agree with your findings that this is a different user.”
All of those accounts in that investigation page are mine - except for WorldWar1989, Starfish12342, and TheGreatMan1969. I can't comment on the IPs due to privacy policy.
Additionally, when @Yue first raised my case to the WorldWar1989 sock puppet page, he wrote this:
"A few days after TheGreatman1969 is blocked, the user Jumopil is created and makes several edits." He went on to say that account and my mine was about the topic of Viet reunification on a certain page.
However:

Further to your closure of this SPI, you asked for a report back if there were further accounts.
There was another user who also participated in the repetitive restoration of the unsourced content at Zurich. Of course: it could be just an astonishing coincidence that they have a very similar account name to ORT5000 and that they both self identify as Swiss, but I doubt it. The relevant diffs are [13] and [14]. The account name is ZH8000 in case I screwed the diffs up. It has to be at least worth a look. 86.177.26.80 ( talk) 15:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
The parade of socks has been continuing awhile with actions from various admins, but now there is a new twist with a User:Mission Q8 sock, User:Bravo Basel reinserting the offending unreferenced paragraph at Culture of Switzerland (now blocked as part of the sock parade).
The twist is that yet another sock, User:DuncanHill has taken up repeatedly restoring the offending paragraph (without providing the obligatory referencing, of course) here, here and here. Although I did state that I originally believed that they were making a good faith mistake, they resorted to that other give away characteristic where they accuse others of being a sock because they are deleting the paragraph. 86.177.26.80 ( talk) 13:30, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
