More complaints about your handling of this case at the SPI seems like overkill to me. Your Talk page is a little less public, which is why I'm here. Frankly, I think you should drop your request for blocks and close the case. Your change to a block of the IPs for socking because I said you couldn't do it for edit-warring sounds like an end-run around my pronouncement. If you sincerely felt that the IPs were being operated by the named account, you would have said so earlier, and as Rob says, you would have also recommended some action against the named account, even it were only a warning. You should reconsider your actions.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 12:49, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

IP editor 204.126.132.231 is static IP, which belongs to Howard Community College. geolocate and University.
This IP also overlapped with the four editors in multiple AFDs.
I found this IP from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mdtemp/Archive.
And Astudent0's first edit in Wikipedia was in the article Howard Community College. -- Marvellous Spider-Man 14:13, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
And the "Hyperbole" can explain why three editors Astudent), Jakjr and Mdtemp stopped editing in August 2016 with no unblock request. Previous SPIs didn't stop them from editing? Marvellous Spider-Man 16:24, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Bbb23's "excuse" is not "bogus", it's just that CheckUser data purges automatically after 90 days, and Mdtemp has not edited in that time frame so there's nothing to check. To PRehse's point about Mdtemp stopping editing, I'm not terribly convinced of that. Mdtemp's history shows quite a few regular gaps of several months at a time that don't seem to have anything to do with anything in particular, and they had stopped editing before the sockpuppet investigation in this case. It has been inconsistent here because this has been a challenging case, with different eyes, different technical results and different opinions over a fairly long time period, and never anything particularly conclusive being found. I certainly expect this isn't the last of it, but just at the moment there's nothing we can really do here. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 20:35, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

"I think it would be a good idea for a neutral reviewer with some knowledge of this topic (I'm not one) to review the substance of the sockfarm's suggested edits, if in fact the material is supported by reliable sources". I agree in principle; my involvement with the article comes only from the fact that I reviewed it at GAC and it stayed on my watchlist. I've tried to act as a mediator, and encouraged Midnightblueowl to make some compromises with the editor(s) in question, but the issue here is not nearly as clear-cut as the IP editor(s) make out; the complaints are often unclear or unsubstantiated, and requests for change are accompanied by edit warring, hounding, and, of course, sock-/meatpuppetry. Any suggestions about finding an amicable way forward here would be warmly received. Josh Milburn ( talk) 17:18, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
No, I'm not trying to persuade you to change your mind.
It intrigues me that you've just made a "political" RfA oppose vote, which is very rare on the English Wikipedia. "I'm opposing because I often disagree with this candidate's interpretation of policy so I don't want them to have more power in policy decisions." It's a fair point and actually I'm surprised why there aren't more of this sort of votes.
I remember being told off many years ago that RfA is not supposed to be an "election". And deletion discussions aren't "votes" either. Often I think this is just hypocrisy. Maybe it's because we see ourselves as a jury rather than an electorate. Perhaps this kind of hypocrisy sets our heart towards a more productive direction as we try to polish an encyclopedia.

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, but self-reverted after investigating the page's edit history more carefully — there actually have been instances of newbies misinterpreting it as the editing-sandbox for any musical topic, and overwriting it with sandbox drafts about other bands, instead of recognizing it as an article about a specific band whose proper name was Sandbox. So I think the dabline actually does have to be there, believe it or not. Bearcat ( talk) 17:48, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector, and thanks for your comment about my edit to the European. road signs page. Perhaps you'd kindly reconsider your revert? Kerb is not an alternative to curb in British English as you suggest, but a completely different word with a different meaning. As the article already includes the British English and American English variants of "Yield" ("Give Way" in British English), I thought I'd be helpful and add a further variant so that the article is clearly understood on both sides of the pond. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.72.220 ( talk) 17:07, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi there Ivanvector. I've just commented in your recent RfD nomination of SCC theory and other redirects, and in the course of doing so I noticed quite a few more redirects that ought to be bundled into that nomination - in my opinion anyway, but I won't change your nomination to add them. Would you take a look and consider adding these similar redirects to the nomination as well? I will expand my existing "delete" comment to cover those if you do so.

What exactly makes the disambiguation "unnecessary"? It doesn't seem to match any of the three examples shown in {{
R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
, which respectively are wholly-unnecessary parenthetical disambiguations, unnecessary natural disambiguations, and overspecified parenthetical disambiguations.
The "wholly-unnecessary parenthetical disambiguation" case would apply if the target article were simply "Pizzagate," but it isn't. -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 02:41, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

There's a user by the name of EthiopianHabesha, who seems to have a conflict of interest on the Abyssinian people or Habesha page and other pages related to Ethiopia. He removes cited additions [2] also has a habit of misinterpreting sources and addition of non sourced material.

Can you tell me what i did wrong? I gathered all the diffs, what do you mean by frivolous? GabiloveAdol ( talk) 15:20, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Ivanvector I haven't been accused of anything, Ms_Sarah_Welch was caught using a quote from another and using it on another source, as it states in the diff. I used a admin template, and Ms_Sarah_Welch somehow knew that Buckshot06 was watching. Buckshot06 ignored it even though she was caught by at least 2 users(in the diffs) On my talkpage i said as soon i figure out how to work with diffs, i would display it nothing else. Then Buckshot06 said that was a unjustified attack, how? I never ever cursed, just said that i would show the diffs. They as a of 6 group didn't came after me, but i saw them on noticeboards working together, and in the Oromo talk page. They are also editing as a group, if you look at the times that they are active.
Please look at the diffs if you want, and if they don't work edit war together, stroll the same pages together you can block my account. GabiloveAdol ( talk) 15:46, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector!
I've decided to take you up on your offer to help me rename my account. How would I be able to do this? I would also like to know how to block me previous account.
Another question, do you know if the user Karst is admin or not? I added three pending releases to Spinnin' Premium and there was a rather blunt request from him. I've also noticed he's nominated a lot of pages for record labels to be deleted (Spinnin' Premium survived, hooray!). Taking a look at the investigation about me it transpires that it was also him who started it. I'd like to know if he's a standard user or admin or something else. If he's a standard user then he needs to change his tone to one that exudes less superiority.

Now I come for your help. With so many namesakes things can get pretty confusing. I'm almost ready to create another article for the first count of Barcelos who appears in sources with the same exact name as the 6th count, the one above. So as to avoid confusion, what would you say if I called them (in the title of the articles) João Afonso Telo, 1st Count of Barcelos; João Afonso Telo, 4th Count of Barcelos; João Afonso Telo, 6th Count of Barcelos?? Later, I could create a disambiguation page to include these and others who have the same name and who will probably have their article in the future.

Hey, just a question - I recently revoked talk page access for Open Source 2.0 since he was blocked and was using his talk page to post some pretty random things, so there wasn't any chance he was getting unblocked. I'm not entirely sure what he was trying to accomplish, but at one point it looks like he was trying to say that he was a sock of Synthelabobabe21 or something along those lines. He mentioned this user, at least under a different spelling. It looks like both engaged in disruptive editing, but I'm not as familiar with Synthelabobabe21's editing as you would be. He may just be posting random nonsense, but I figured that it'd be worth at least mentioning. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:28, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

I didn't want to go off-tangent in the ANI discussion but 1RR is way too strict in many cases. There are thousands of examples of that happening every day, frequently with new editors.

Your change to a block of the IPs for socking because I said you couldn't do it for edit-warring sounds like an end-run around my pronouncement. If you sincerely felt that the IPs were being operated by the named account, you would have said so earlier, and as Rob says, you would have also recommended some action against the named account, even it were only a warning. You should reconsider your actions.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 12:49, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

IP editor 204.126.132.231 is static IP, which belongs to Howard Community College. geolocate and University.
This IP also overlapped with the four editors in multiple AFDs.
I found this IP from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mdtemp/Archive.
And Astudent0's first edit in Wikipedia was in the article Howard Community College. -- Marvellous Spider-Man 14:13, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
And the "Hyperbole" can explain why three editors Astudent), Jakjr and Mdtemp stopped editing in August 2016 with no unblock request. Previous SPIs didn't stop them from editing? Marvellous Spider-Man 16:24, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Bbb23's "excuse" is not "bogus", it's just that CheckUser data purges automatically after 90 days, and Mdtemp has not edited in that time frame so there's nothing to check. To PRehse's point about Mdtemp stopping editing, I'm not terribly convinced of that. Mdtemp's history shows quite a few regular gaps of several months at a time that don't seem to have anything to do with anything in particular, and they had stopped editing before the sockpuppet investigation in this case. It has been inconsistent here because this has been a challenging case, with different eyes, different technical results and different opinions over a fairly long time period, and never anything particularly conclusive being found. I certainly expect this isn't the last of it, but just at the moment there's nothing we can really do here. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 20:35, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

"I think it would be a good idea for a neutral reviewer with some knowledge of this topic (I'm not one) to review the substance of the sockfarm's suggested edits, if in fact the material is supported by reliable sources". I agree in principle; my involvement with the article comes only from the fact that I reviewed it at GAC and it stayed on my watchlist. I've tried to act as a mediator, and encouraged Midnightblueowl to make some compromises with the editor(s) in question, but the issue here is not nearly as clear-cut as the IP editor(s) make out; the complaints are often unclear or unsubstantiated, and requests for change are accompanied by edit warring, hounding, and, of course, sock-/meatpuppetry. Any suggestions about finding an amicable way forward here would be warmly received. Josh Milburn ( talk) 17:18, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
No, I'm not trying to persuade you to change your mind.
It intrigues me that you've just made a "political" RfA oppose vote, which is very rare on the English Wikipedia. "I'm opposing because I often disagree with this candidate's interpretation of policy so I don't want them to have more power in policy decisions." It's a fair point and actually I'm surprised why there aren't more of this sort of votes.
I remember being told off many years ago that RfA is not supposed to be an "election". And deletion discussions aren't "votes" either. Often I think this is just hypocrisy. Maybe it's because we see ourselves as a jury rather than an electorate. Perhaps this kind of hypocrisy sets our heart towards a more productive direction as we try to polish an encyclopedia.

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, but self-reverted after investigating the page's edit history more carefully — there actually have been instances of newbies misinterpreting it as the editing-sandbox for any musical topic, and overwriting it with sandbox drafts about other bands, instead of recognizing it as an article about a specific band whose proper name was Sandbox. So I think the dabline actually does have to be there, believe it or not. Bearcat ( talk) 17:48, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector, and thanks for your comment about my edit to the European. road signs page. Perhaps you'd kindly reconsider your revert? Kerb is not an alternative to curb in British English as you suggest, but a completely different word with a different meaning. As the article already includes the British English and American English variants of "Yield" ("Give Way" in British English), I thought I'd be helpful and add a further variant so that the article is clearly understood on both sides of the pond. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.72.220 ( talk) 17:07, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi there Ivanvector.

What exactly makes the disambiguation "unnecessary"? It doesn't seem to match any of the three examples shown in {{
R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
, which respectively are wholly-unnecessary parenthetical disambiguations, unnecessary natural disambiguations, and overspecified parenthetical disambiguations.

Can you tell me what i did wrong? I gathered all the diffs, what do you mean by frivolous? GabiloveAdol ( talk) 15:20, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Ivanvector I haven't been accused of anything, Ms_Sarah_Welch was caught using a quote from another and using it on another source, as it states in the diff. I used a admin template, and Ms_Sarah_Welch somehow knew that Buckshot06 was watching. Buckshot06 ignored it even though she was caught by at least 2 users(in the diffs) On my talkpage i said as soon i figure out how to work with diffs, i would display it nothing else. Then Buckshot06 said that was a unjustified attack, how? I never ever cursed, just said that i would show the diffs. They as a of 6 group didn't came after me, but i saw them on noticeboards working together, and in the Oromo talk page. They are also editing as a group, if you look at the times that they are active.
Please look at the diffs if you want, and if they don't work edit war together, stroll the same pages together you can block my account. GabiloveAdol ( talk) 15:46, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ivanvector!
I've decided to take you up on your offer to help me rename my account. How would I be able to do this? I would also like to know how to block me previous account.
Another question, do you know if the user Karst is admin or not? I added three pending releases to Spinnin' Premium and there was a rather blunt request from him. I've also noticed he's nominated a lot of pages for record labels to be deleted (Spinnin' Premium survived, hooray!). Taking a look at the investigation about me it transpires that it was also him who started it. I'd like to know if he's a standard user or admin or something else. If he's a standard user then he needs to change his tone to one that exudes less superiority.

Now I come for your help. With so many namesakes things can get pretty confusing. I'm almost ready to create another article for the first count of Barcelos who appears in sources with the same exact name as the 6th count, the one above. So as to avoid confusion, what would you say if I called them (in the title of the articles) João Afonso Telo, 1st Count of Barcelos; João Afonso Telo, 4th Count of Barcelos; João Afonso Telo, 6th Count of Barcelos??

Hey, just a question - I recently revoked talk page access for Open Source 2.0 since he was blocked and was using his talk page to post some pretty random things, so there wasn't any chance he was getting unblocked. I'm not entirely sure what he was trying to accomplish, but at one point it looks like he was trying to say that he was a sock of Synthelabobabe21 or something along those lines. He mentioned this user, at least under a different spelling. It looks like both engaged in disruptive editing, but I'm not as familiar with Synthelabobabe21's editing as you would be. He may just be posting random nonsense, but I figured that it'd be worth at least mentioning. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:28, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
