So these jerks are following me around reverting me. There was another at AIV, haven't looked to see if it's been dealt with. They've reverted me on two really high profile articles (Georgetown Prep and Holton-Arms Schools). What's my plan here? Just get off line to avoid disrupting the encyclopedia? It's getting very frustrating. John from Idegon ( talk) 23:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
Yesterday you blocked 2600:8805:5500:b200::/64 for "Violations of the biographies of living persons policy: persistent addition of unsourced personal info in WP:BLPs". Thank you; I had been trying to clean up their mess and it's difficult because they appear to be quite prolific and hop between IPs.
Their edits are quite easily identified: most obviously they almost always use the name of the subject as an edit summary, but also they often write "He was (Born <date>)" with that peculiar bracket style, usually in the middle of an existing sentence and using "he" regardless of gender.
In addition to the block you've made, could you also look at the following?
There's also this, but it looks like an unrelated editor has also used it since:
Most of these edits have been recent (almost all this month) but the earliest I have seen is this from November last year, so it may be a more chronic problem than so far discovered.
Thanks!

I appreciate the message left on my page, i am new to the platform. I didn't mean to be monotonous or malignant. I don't know how to proceed in resolving this issue considering i have already left a comment on the Ariana Grande talk page. I have provided multiple counts of evidence or Ariana being a songwriter. official sources aren't enough and then third party sources aren't reliable? i don't understand. It seems people are just ignoring blatant facts that Ariana grande writes songs. there is a wikipedia article on it <ref> /info/en/?search=Category:Songs_written_by_Ariana_Grande <ref> . It seems illogical to have a page dedicated to the songs Ariana has written and then not have her listed as a song-writer respectively on the same website? Lenhpia ( talk) 09:42, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo. You blocked in June some socks of Gala19000. In August Mirza1453 was created. Socks of Gala and Mirza must be the only accounts on Wikipedia being entirely focused on changing strength and casualty numbers of wars concerning Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. Mirza has been trying to make POV edits similar to those of Gala, trying to put the number of Ottoman casualties in the Great Siege of Malta at 10000 by ignoring some sources [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. AFAIK no other accounts have tried to make the same POV changes. "Mirza1453" refers to a very important year for the Ottoman Empire, " OttomanWarrior1299" also referred to a very important year for the Ottoman Empire. There might be other behavioural clues to clarify if Mirza is a sock but I am pressed for time. Is there any non-stale sock of Gala to compare Mirza with?

My friend - thank you for leaving such a kind message regarding my most recent entry. I was wondering how exactly I should source a person's birthdate. I see most figures of note have a birthday on their page, but no source. Can you guide me a bit on that?

@Snooganssnoogans has reverted my edits to the Andrew McCabe and James Comey articles -- both protected and one-revert pages -- the grounds that the author Joseph diGenova -- a former US Attorney for the District of Columbia, a former Independent Counsel of the United States, a former Special Counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives, a former Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and a former Counsel to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (the Church Committee) -- is a "conspiracy theorist" and citing him is a possible violation of BLP. I have not found any archived discussion and agreement that diGenova is an unreliable source. I am contacting you as an admin who may still be awake (Pacific Standard Time) to resolve this. Also, you are undoubtedly aware of the political tensions right now in the US, and, as you are fortunate enough to live in British Columbia, I am confident you can review this thoroughly impartially.
Quis separabit? 23:38, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) I find an addition to the Andrew McCabe page [6] very odd as it uses an April 2018 source to say an event hasn't yet occurred. I also see "argument by authority" used to describe diGenova which is something to be avoided, especially as he has his own article - which certainly portrays him as a conspiracy theorist, and I don't see any reason to challenge that. The source is published by Hillsdale College which its article says has worked to build close ties with Trump, ties described by Politico. [7] I don't know why you didn't go to RSN, you know it's not the role of Administrators to resolve content disputes. Speaking purely as an experienced editor, I don't see it as an acceptable source for a BLP.

I'm just letting you know that I extended the block on this IP to be a {{blocked proxy}} block and for a month. This is an LTA that's been continuing this exact behavior for many months now on numerous articles, and he almost elusively hops IPs and ranges by going through open proxies. Let me know if you have questions or concerns (ping me so I'm notified) and I'll be happy to talk about it. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 00:55, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Ponyo.
I see you have been involved in the SPI of User:Micha Jo and User:Wikyam, resulting in both being indefed, and as you are aware Micha Jo is disputing this.
In particular, Micha Jo is claiming never to have used open proxies. I'm guessing that your comment (now at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Micha Jo/Archive) given that Micha Jo is using open proxies may actually refer to Wikyam, is that possible? Or, is there evidence that Micha Jo has used open proxies when logged on as that, despite their denials? I don't need the details, just does this evidence exist?
I'd prefer this on-wiki but if necessary, email me confidentially, and we can take it from there. Andrewa ( talk) 09:03, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
See also my subsequent comment at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Micha Jo. I've decided not to cite this conversation there, but the points you have made above seem very relevant to me. Andrewa ( talk) 02:20, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

I understand and concur that this user should have been blocked, but am a bit confused; I cannot see where / if a request for a Checkuser check was made. Can you fill me in? Buckshot06 (talk) 08:05, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi admin! Wanted to ask for help in the mentioned page, as I saw your edit there. Just a day before that, I edited the page with my edit summary pointing towards my message on its talk page, however, an anonymous reverted my edit for the third time giving invalid reason. This revert came between my edit and your edit; that anonymous hasn't even checked the sourced birthdate which made you to remove it. Please check, Thanks! M. Billoo 04:25, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind response! Well, I know IP range cannot be blocked, that's why I wanted to RPP. For edit summary at Aima Baig, I mostly write "unsourced change in sourced birthday", but anonymous editors……
For edit summary at Momina Mustehsan, I first wrote that not to be mentioned as main heading, it is just critism in the media. Then, I pointed to talk page in my other attempt. On my next attempt, I clarified that I made these edits after admin's check. Instead of reverting that specific one part of "Controversy", that user whole reverted my edits at all time and kept calling me fan, however, you know why Template:fansite was added.
Well, I am sorry, if I didn't gave ES in my last attempt there, where I only wrote ce. I made a check throughout the whole page.
Thank you again for your kind response admin! Sorry if I made a long message. M. Billoo 18:21, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
Can you take a look at this guy? He looks like a obvious sock for BDMKK, editing the same way, in the same pages, talking the same way too (like the over use of shortcuts in the edit summary). This account was created the exact same day the user GiordanoOrion was blocked for being sock puppet for BDMKK. They are even using the exact same arguments for the exact same passages (example: like invoking the WP:Weasel, as you can see here and here). To me is a obvious WP:DUCK. Similarities are there. A "new" guy ( WP:SPU) that knows what to quote ( WP:GAMING) and pushing the same agenda, weird. Can you take a look? This is very tiresome. Thanks. Coltsfan ( talk) 20:34, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo, regading your block of IP 96.249.151.66 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), could you please also have a look at Am149072 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)? This user made the same attack as the IP to article Woolly Mammoth ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs), and moved someone else's user and talk pages. They also came to my user talk page with the message that they didn't do anything. Perhaps this account should be blocked a well? Cheers and TIA. - DVdm ( talk) 19:01, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Ponyo, for a number of reasons I suspect this blocked editor[ [14]] is a HughD sock, not a 72biker sock. HughD socks have a long history of repeatedly posting long diatribes, "please considers", "list of sources" etc. I know 72bikers was blocked and blamed for one recent sock but HughD was responsible for quite a few in the last few days. Of course, if there is CU data saying this was 72bikers please disregard this. Thanks. Springee ( talk) 23:03, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
This new user smells like a sock. Just the speed of their contributions and the things they are editing isn't very new user to me. Or it's a IP that came out of the cold. I'm not sure so I thought I'd ask you. Whispering( t) 21:20, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo. This is probably a long-shot, but do you remember the edits by the IP users you reverted on Amar Bodyguard, one of the number of articles they edited that you reverted? I'm currently investigating the contribs of 92.100.210.232, and while reverting edits that are referenced that the IP removed, I ran into the edits here that you reverted by the other IP users and one of which you blocked for "abusing multiple accounts". Digging deeper, I found these IP users with similar edits to similar articles: 178.66.107.224, 78.37.236.8, 178.66.123.89, and 92.100.210.232. Is there any information that you can provide or shed light on that you know about? Anything would identify this user? Is it an LTA? This pattern, given these IP edits, have been going on for at least a month - and I saw that many of them were reverted by you. Any input or information would be helpful. In the meantime, I'll continue to investigate... Thank you! :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 07:29, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo,
I happened to be on UTRS earlier and had to send the "School block+COI" template. While I was doing this I noticed that this template plus "School (undo account creation" is only signed "Wikipedia administrator" and not "English Wikipedia administrator" like the rest of the templates are. Should they be "Wikipedia administrator" only or "English Wikipedia administrator"? If the latter then someone needs to change it.
Plus it gave me the chance to drop by and say hi to you! :)-- 5 albert square ( talk) 12:44, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo. You blocked in June some socks of Gala19000. In August Mirza1453 was created. Socks of Gala and Mirza must be the only accounts on Wikipedia being entirely focused on changing strength and casualty numbers of wars concerning Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. Mirza has been trying to make POV edits similar to those of Gala, trying to put the number of Ottoman casualties in the Great Siege of Malta at 10000 by ignoring some sources [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. AFAIK no other accounts have tried to make the same POV changes. "Mirza1453" refers to a very important year for the Ottoman Empire, " OttomanWarrior1299" also referred to a very important year for the Ottoman Empire. There might be other behavioural clues to clarify if Mirza is a sock but I am pressed for time. Is there any non-stale sock of Gala to compare Mirza with?

My friend - thank you for leaving such a kind message regarding my most recent entry. I was wondering how exactly I should source a person's birthdate. I see most figures of note have a birthday on their page, but no source. Can you guide me a bit on that?
thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julius1433 ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

They've removed their multiple block notice and I saw there's been issues in the past with restoring it. Just a heads-up (I reverted them on an oddball 'grammar' edit where no grammar issues were present). Nate • ( chatter) 22:32, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi P, do you remember a few months ago Kailash29792 asking a question about a "Mr. Thank You"?. Check out this guy's talk page.

@Snooganssnoogans has reverted my edits to the Andrew McCabe and James Comey articles -- both protected and one-revert pages -- the grounds that the author Joseph diGenova -- a former US Attorney for the District of Columbia, a former Independent Counsel of the United States, a former Special Counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives, a former Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and a former Counsel to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (the Church Committee) -- is a "conspiracy theorist" and citing him is a possible violation of BLP. I have not found any archived discussion and agreement that diGenova is an unreliable source. I am contacting you as an admin who may still be awake (Pacific Standard Time) to resolve this. Also, you are undoubtedly aware of the political tensions right now in the US, and, as you are fortunate enough to live in British Columbia, I am confident you can review this thoroughly impartially.
Quis separabit? 23:38, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) I find an addition to the Andrew McCabe page [6] very odd as it uses an April 2018 source to say an event hasn't yet occurred. I also see "argument by authority" used to describe diGenova which is something to be avoided, especially as he has his own article - which certainly portrays him as a conspiracy theorist, and I don't see any reason to challenge that. The source is published by Hillsdale College which its article says has worked to build close ties with Trump, ties described by Politico. [7] I don't know why you didn't go to RSN, you know it's not the role of Administrators to resolve content disputes. Speaking purely as an experienced editor, I don't see it as an acceptable source for a BLP.

I'm just letting you know that I extended the block on this IP to be a {{blocked proxy}} block and for a month. This is an LTA that's been continuing this exact behavior for many months now on numerous articles, and he almost elusively hops IPs and ranges by going through open proxies. Let me know if you have questions or concerns (ping me so I'm notified) and I'll be happy to talk about it. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 00:55, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Can you take a look at this IP and this one? Clear WP:EVASION by sock. For BDMKK saying i was persecuting him (which is ridiculous), he has very little shame about it.

Hi, Ponyo.
I see you have been involved in the SPI of User:Micha Jo and User:Wikyam, resulting in both being indefed, and as you are aware Micha Jo is disputing this.
In particular, Micha Jo is claiming never to have used open proxies. I'm guessing that your comment (now at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Micha Jo/Archive) given that Micha Jo is using open proxies may actually refer to Wikyam, is that possible? Or, is there evidence that Micha Jo has used open proxies when logged on as that, despite their denials? I don't need the details, just does this evidence exist?
I'd prefer this on-wiki but if necessary, email me confidentially, and we can take it from there. Andrewa ( talk) 09:03, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
See also my subsequent comment at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Micha Jo. I've decided not to cite this conversation there, but the points you have made above seem very relevant to me. Andrewa ( talk) 02:20, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi admin! Wanted to ask for help in the mentioned page, as I saw your edit there. Just a day before that, I edited the page with my edit summary pointing towards my message on its talk page, however, an anonymous reverted my edit for the third time giving invalid reason. This revert came between my edit and your edit; that anonymous hasn't even checked the sourced birthdate which made you to remove it. Please check, Thanks! M. Billoo 04:25, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind response! Well, I know IP range cannot be blocked, that's why I wanted to RPP. For edit summary at Aima Baig, I mostly write "unsourced change in sourced birthday", but anonymous editors……
For edit summary at Momina Mustehsan, I first wrote that not to be mentioned as main heading, it is just critism in the media. Then, I pointed to talk page in my other attempt. On my next attempt, I clarified that I made these edits after admin's check. Instead of reverting that specific one part of "Controversy", that user whole reverted my edits at all time and kept calling me fan, however, you know why Template:fansite was added.
Well, I am sorry, if I didn't gave ES in my last attempt there, where I only wrote ce. I made a check throughout the whole page.
Thank you again for your kind response admin! Sorry if I made a long message. M. Billoo 18:21, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
Can you take a look at this guy? He looks like a obvious sock for BDMKK, editing the same way, in the same pages, talking the same way too (like the over use of shortcuts in the edit summary). This account was created the exact same day the user GiordanoOrion was blocked for being sock puppet for BDMKK. They are even using the exact same arguments for the exact same passages (example: like invoking the WP:Weasel, as you can see here and here). To me is a obvious WP:DUCK. Similarities are there. A "new" guy ( WP:SPU) that knows what to quote ( WP:GAMING) and pushing the same agenda, weird. Can you take a look? This is very tiresome. Thanks. Coltsfan ( talk) 20:34, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo, regading your block of IP 96.249.151.66 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), could you please also have a look at Am149072 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)? This user made the same attack as the IP to article Woolly Mammoth ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs), and moved someone else's user and talk pages. They also came to my user talk page with the message that they didn't do anything. Perhaps this account should be blocked a well? Cheers and TIA. - DVdm ( talk) 19:01, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Ponyo, for a number of reasons I suspect this blocked editor[ [14]] is a HughD sock, not a 72biker sock. HughD socks have a long history of repeatedly posting long diatribes, "please considers", "list of sources" etc. I know 72bikers was blocked and blamed for one recent sock but HughD was responsible for quite a few in the last few days. Of course, if there is CU data saying this was 72bikers please disregard this. Thanks. Springee ( talk) 23:03, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
This new user smells like a sock. Just the speed of their contributions and the things they are editing isn't very new user to me. Or it's a IP that came out of the cold. I'm not sure so I thought I'd ask you. Whispering( t) 21:20, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo. This is probably a long-shot, but do you remember the edits by the IP users you reverted on Amar Bodyguard, one of the number of articles they edited that you reverted? I'm currently investigating the contribs of 92.100.210.232, and while reverting edits that are referenced that the IP removed, I ran into the edits here that you reverted by the other IP users and one of which you blocked for "abusing multiple accounts". Digging deeper, I found these IP users with similar edits to similar articles: 178.66.107.224, 78.37.236.8, 178.66.123.89, and 92.100.210.232. Is there any information that you can provide or shed light on that you know about? Anything would identify this user? Is it an LTA? This pattern, given these IP edits, have been going on for at least a month - and I saw that many of them were reverted by you. Any input or information would be helpful. In the meantime, I'll continue to investigate... Thank you! :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 07:29, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo,
I happened to be on UTRS earlier and had to send the "School block+COI" template. While I was doing this I noticed that this template plus "School (undo account creation" is only signed "Wikipedia administrator" and not "English Wikipedia administrator" like the rest of the templates are. Should they be "Wikipedia administrator" only or "English Wikipedia administrator"? If the latter then someone needs to change it.
Plus it gave me the chance to drop by and say hi to you! :)-- 5 albert square ( talk) 12:44, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
