Dear Ponyo, can you deleted Draft:The Smurfs Movie and Draft:The Pagemaster, when I check it this is fake. There this the link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Smurfs_Movie https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Pagemaster_(film) 142.122.25.19 ( talk) 14:11, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Nice to see you back. In the hope that you will come in later today, could you check Dekhoaayadon against PH? I see a couple of non-stale socks, Kraistag and Scheditia, the former of which was confirmed. There is article intersection between the new account and other socks - the one I've seen most often is IAmAnEditor008. Regardless of anything else, Dekhoaayadon is a suspicious new user, created on March 16, and launching a meritorious SPI, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dunki2024, on March 27; the fact that it was well-presented and had merit makes it more suspicious.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello,
I always appreciate your actions.
However.. sorry but, Is it impossible to take action against IPs?
Once DENOSIO's accounts are blocked, they continue to attack via IP.
I reported it to SPI, but no one resolves it.
Is there no way to take action against IPs that damage WIKI..?

Now that's a band I'd love to join. Drmies ( talk) 20:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
I appreciate you working your admin magic on my talk page. That being said, I would be interested in connecting with that banned user off-Wiki so I can communicate with him without being in violation of the policies myself. I don't like obviously that he is committing so much vandalism, but I know it is out of boredom from what he has said and he honestly seems like a nice person, maybe just a little misguided.
I guess my perspective is that I'm not going to commit any vandalism (in fact my record shows quite the opposite), so I don't see the harm in it and maybe in fact it would be a welcome distraction--I have been in contact with other banned users before like User:Meepsheep and it never affected my conduct. Is there anyway I could maybe point him to one of my emails (maybe one not directly associated with my real name) so he can chat with me without it being disruptive? If that would be a violation too of Wikipedia policies, I will not, but I am just curious what leeway I have here. Thebirdlover ( talk) 20:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo. Regarding my reverted edit 1218545167 on April 12 for the birth date of Ainsley Earhardt, I was wondering why Hollywood Life is not considered a RS. Its wikiarticle reads, “The site covers celebrity, fashion, beauty, women issues, and entertainment news.” While it doesn’t appear on the RSP list, I can’t find where it has been depreciated or noted as having inaccuracies or a failure of editorial oversight. Is there a RfC for it? Although it may not publish what some would consider “hard” news, it does cover news in its bailiwick. I realize we must comply with DOB but I don’t know of Ainsley Earhardt complaining about inclusion of her date of birth, I don’t know that the edit is contentious material, Hollywood Life is popular enough that it may reasonably be inferred that Earhardt does not object, and a simple Google search brings up her DOB top, front, and center. Your thoughts on this matter will be appreciated. Regards, Quaerens-veritatem ( talk) 03:15, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Ponyo,
We have an editor with a little quirk that I wanted to check in with you about and they have had this habit for years now. Every few weeks, about once a month, DinosaursLoveExistence uses their registered account to create a large number of empty categories in really random subject areas but often specific to the UK. And then, after the categories are created, a few days later, they log out and use IP accounts, like User:92.27.37.191 to fill these empty categories. Over the years, I've left probably a dozen messages, on their registered account's talk page and on the IP accounts' talk pages, simply asking them to log in to do all of their editing with their registered account but this habit has persisted for going on years now. I don't want to be a stickler for bureaucracy but as a checkuser, is there anything wrong with this behavior? Their only interest is in creating these large groups of categories and then filling them up a week later so there is no vandalism going on but they have never communicated except occasionally through edit summaries, no talk page responses at all that I have seen over the past few years.
I'm coming to you because I don't know if there is any policy about boomeranging between logged in editing and then logging out to edit, seemingly to do different kinds of tasks. They are unresponsive so I can't get any answer to my queries over the years. The only problem that exists is me tagging dozens of empty categories and then, four or five days later, untagging these categories because they are no longer empty so it's kind of a PITA. But given their lack of explanation, I can see this continuing, indefinitely and thought I'd check in with someone who regularly looks into account data. It's really just bad for them as it reveals their location but they have been alerted to this fact multiple times and they don't seem to care. Any way, I don't want to be looking for problems that aren't there but I thought I'd inquire with you. Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide with this editor's unusual behavior.

Hi Ponyo, I see that you applied extended protection to that page for sockpuppetry. To me, it would be alright at the time it was applied but today, I feel like it should be no higher than autoconfirmed protection because she is just enough to have a Wikipedia page and there are not really any problems anymore to keep this page protected at extended level today.

Hi. I want to resolve this conflict once and for all, I want you to help me. I have a long-standing conflict with Lades2222 because he believes that I am a person who destroys Wikipedia. I don't think so, you can look at my latest edits. I always confirm my changes with links. And I have good faith. Lades2222 is even confused with another user who is from Singapore. Here he is truly violating Wikipedia by not confirming the changes with links. Because of him, you constantly block me. I'm tired of this madness. I want to forget about it and use Wikipedia freely.

I am engaged in an editorial war with an editor named UserBourenane Chahine on the page "Visa requirements for Algerian citizens". In order to resolve the issue through dialogue, a bilateral discussion was held in the section titled "Bourenane Chahine" in " /info/en/?search=User_talk:Lades2222", but rather than being resolved, the conflict grew larger. Moreover, the other editor hurled harsh insults and swear words at me. And he also hurled insults and swear words at my main page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lades2222&action=history). I also violated the "revert" rule to defend the page from the editor. This is unlikely to be effective even through mediation. Since it can't be resolved at all, what should I do so that both me and the editor in question are punished? I am already ready to be punished. Lades2222 ( talk) 21:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Upon reviewing the content of the page, I have noticed that the "Criticism" section appears to be promoting vandalism rather than contributing constructively to the article. As a result, it may inadvertently perpetuate a negative or biased portrayal of Maulana Ilyas Qadri, which goes against Wikipedia's principles of neutrality and verifiability.
I believe that removing this section would help maintain the integrity of the article and ensure that it presents a fair and balanced representation of Maulana Ilyas Qadri's contributions and activities. By doing so, we can uphold Wikipedia's commitment to providing accurate and reliable information to its readers. Khanadir ( talk) 10:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
I started with Neko Lexi. She acknowledges she is MissYandere (see also MissYandere2. Says she wanted a new account. Then in looking at Neko's Talk page she admitted (don't think she's said anything about it before the admission) that she's Quirkykiana (that one's edits overlap) (her userpage says she has Kiana as an alternate account, but it doesn't exist). Then, feeling like Alice chasing the rabbit down a hole, I saw EdenBAnn (you should look at the conversation she has with herself/him (with Quirkykiana) on EdenBAnn's Talk page - now mostly blanked). Eden says he's male, emphatically. There is a good possibility they are classmates or something. Also noticed a couple of suppressed edits. Finally, the conversations on this page between the two users is, well, I don't know how to describe it, you can make up your own mind, I don't know enough teenagers.
Then there's the edits themselves. Apparently, she thinks she's up to counter-vandalism, welcoming new users (and IPs), sometimes when they haven't edited, doing the usual bombardment of the Teahouse (my experience is this kind of editor loves yakking with anyone, Wikipedia, the social media platform), and having some really weird discussions on other users' Talk pages (poor User talk:Marchjuly).
That's enough to go on, but I can't help but believe there are more accounts. Over to you.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey, Ponyo,
I didn't know where to go with this question and I thought, "Hey, I haven't been to Ponyo's talk page in a while so I'll ask you!" So, here I am. If you don't know the answer, maybe you can point me in the right direction.
One of my daily, boring tasks is deleting orphaned talk pages. I've noticed that when admins do a mass page deletion of pages created by a block-evading sockpuppet, the deletion tool doesn't delete the talk pages associated with the articlea. Do you know how to fix this? I've only done mass deletion one or two times so I'm not sure who came up with the tool and where to request an adjustment. As a checkuser, I assume you have cause to use it more than I have so you might know how this glitch could be resolved. These orphaned talk pages eventually do get deleted (we have a nightly database report that sniffs them out) but it seems like it would be easier if they were deleted when the article pages are deleted.
Thanks and have a pleasant weekend! Liz Read! Talk! 02:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Ponyo. I saw you were the admin giving them a block notice. It looks like they've made a personal attack (which I've since removed, saw on my watchlist). I haven't looked into their edit history enough to say that they're NOTHERE, but it was a bit discomforting to read. Not a great way to respond to criticism at all. jellyfish ✉ 03:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo, I pinged you over at Talk:Negasonic Teenage Warhead but I'm reaching out here as well in case you don't see it. This article's history has been a mess primarily as the result of a sock associated with an IP you blocked, 84.220.219.37. I'm not sure if there's an SPI case page for this individual but I'm wondering if you could take a look at all the IPs I listed. I think there's a good case for a rangeblock if there isn't too much collateral damage in doing so. Uhai ( talk) 00:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and I'm here to inform you that Pnnyooszs seems to be copy-pasting all of your user pages. I don't think you are associated with the account, so I'm putting up a heads up here. ABG ( Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm looking at the following accounts: Sssaaraa, Ibaadat Siddiqui, and Perso007. You CU-blocked Sssaaraa in October 2023, so unless there's some login data that I can't see, the account would be stale, although CU log data might be helpful. Your edit summary is "UPE studio spam", which doesn't help me much to identify other accounts connected with them. Anyway the latter two accounts seem to be the same person, even if they're not the same person as Sssaaraa, but I don't think the behavioral similarities are compelling enough for me to block without technical confirmation. Any illumination here?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo. I was asked to take a look at the edit warring since I had done the previous block. Two weeks seems a little long. Would you consider a shorter block or a warning? After considering a week-long block or perhaps a month-long partial block, I was about to leave this warning:
Please stop
edit warring to restore your preferred text on
Fallout (American TV series). You've seen that two other editors disagree and you were blocked for 24 hours for edit warring. If you want to get that text added to the article, it's time to start discussing it on the talk page and see if you get consensus for the change. I would also strongly recommend reading
MOS:ACCLAIMED. Superlatives like "critical acclaim" need to be attributed to multiple sources. Basically, the other editors seem to be following the Manual of Style. If you continue to edit war, the next block will almost certainly be longer than the last one.
The main reason I wanted to try one more warning is that it doesn't look like anyone has actually pointed the new editor at
MOS:ACCLAIMED and the edits were so slow motion that it seemed reasonable to try another warning. Even if you decide against shortening the block, I still want to leave a note so please let me know what you decide. Thanks for taking another look.

Hello, Ponyo,
I think I mentioned this to you before but, to be honest, the past three weeks have been kind of blur to me dealing with a relative in hospice care.
But you did a mass deletion of pages created by a sock earlier today. Unfortunately, whatever tool you use doesn't delete talk pages at the same time so there were 52 talk pages that had to be deleted later (see User:Liz/Test for a list). Is there any way this mass deletion tool could also delete the accompanying talk pages at the same time? I'm not sure who developed this editing tool to make a request on their talk page. Thanks.

I noticed WestVirginiaWX's comments at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lokicat3345, which were made after I closed the report. WVWX was created on June 1, and they've already amassed almost 300 edits, many of which are weather-related, along with a slew of redirects and bothering every user known to man about Draft:list of particularly dangerous situation watches, which they call an "abandoned draft".

Hi, could you check if this account is a sockpuppet /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/Hidolo Its a newly registered single-purpose account who does nothing other than adding "far-right" or similar to political parties, even if the statement is not supported by sources (eg. here, he/she added "far-right" 1, even though it was not mentioned anywhere is the provided source 1 and was describing a completely different party).

Neighhh, my little Ponyo. These two accounts were created six hours apart, and have been taken to WP:UAA by two separate users:
Secretlondon said she didn't think they were bad enough to block since they hadn't edited, which made several people angry. But I've got a different angle: we don't actually see a lot of usernames of this nature. Isn't it likely those two are socks? Is it possible to CU them without contributions? Bishonen | tålk 22:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC).
I would have blocked the Joebiden account as an attack name regardless of whether they've edited or not. Probably would've left the Trump one until they edited, then go from there. <shrug>. As they're both blocked now, any socking aspect is moot.-- Ponyo bons mots 15:46, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Nice to see you back. In the hope that you will come in later today, could you check Dekhoaayadon against PH? I see a couple of non-stale socks, Kraistag and Scheditia, the former of which was confirmed. There is article intersection between the new account and other socks - the one I've seen most often is IAmAnEditor008. Regardless of anything else, Dekhoaayadon is a suspicious new user, created on March 16, and launching a meritorious SPI, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dunki2024, on March 27; the fact that it was well-presented and had merit makes it more suspicious.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate you working your admin magic on my talk page. That being said, I would be interested in connecting with that banned user off-Wiki so I can communicate with him without being in violation of the policies myself. I don't like obviously that he is committing so much vandalism, but I know it is out of boredom from what he has said and he honestly seems like a nice person, maybe just a little misguided.
I guess my perspective is that I'm not going to commit any vandalism (in fact my record shows quite the opposite), so I don't see the harm in it and maybe in fact it would be a welcome distraction--I have been in contact with other banned users before like User:Meepsheep and it never affected my conduct. Is there anyway I could maybe point him to one of my emails (maybe one not directly associated with my real name) so he can chat with me without it being disruptive? If that would be a violation too of Wikipedia policies, I will not, but I am just curious what leeway I have here. Thebirdlover ( talk) 20:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo. Regarding my reverted edit 1218545167 on April 12 for the birth date of Ainsley Earhardt, I was wondering why Hollywood Life is not considered a RS. Its wikiarticle reads, “The site covers celebrity, fashion, beauty, women issues, and entertainment news.” While it doesn’t appear on the RSP list, I can’t find where it has been depreciated or noted as having inaccuracies or a failure of editorial oversight. Is there a RfC for it? Although it may not publish what some would consider “hard” news, it does cover news in its bailiwick. I realize we must comply with DOB but I don’t know of Ainsley Earhardt complaining about inclusion of her date of birth, I don’t know that the edit is contentious material, Hollywood Life is popular enough that it may reasonably be inferred that Earhardt does not object, and a simple Google search brings up her DOB top, front, and center. Your thoughts on this matter will be appreciated. Regards, Quaerens-veritatem ( talk) 03:15, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Ponyo,
We have an editor with a little quirk that I wanted to check in with you about and they have had this habit for years now. Every few weeks, about once a month, DinosaursLoveExistence uses their registered account to create a large number of empty categories in really random subject areas but often specific to the UK. And then, after the categories are created, a few days later, they log out and use IP accounts, like User:92.27.37.191 to fill these empty categories. Over the years, I've left probably a dozen messages, on their registered account's talk page and on the IP accounts' talk pages, simply asking them to log in to do all of their editing with their registered account but this habit has persisted for going on years now. I don't want to be a stickler for bureaucracy but as a checkuser, is there anything wrong with this behavior? Their only interest is in creating these large groups of categories and then filling them up a week later so there is no vandalism going on but they have never communicated except occasionally through edit summaries, no talk page responses at all that I have seen over the past few years.
I'm coming to you because I don't know if there is any policy about boomeranging between logged in editing and then logging out to edit, seemingly to do different kinds of tasks. They are unresponsive so I can't get any answer to my queries over the years. The only problem that exists is me tagging dozens of empty categories and then, four or five days later, untagging these categories because they are no longer empty so it's kind of a PITA. But given their lack of explanation, I can see this continuing, indefinitely and thought I'd check in with someone who regularly looks into account data. It's really just bad for them as it reveals their location but they have been alerted to this fact multiple times and they don't seem to care. Any way, I don't want to be looking for problems that aren't there but I thought I'd inquire with you. Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide with this editor's unusual behavior.

Hi Ponyo, I see that you applied extended protection to that page for sockpuppetry.

I am engaged in an editorial war with an editor named UserBourenane Chahine on the page "Visa requirements for Algerian citizens". In order to resolve the issue through dialogue, a bilateral discussion was held in the section titled "Bourenane Chahine" in " /info/en/?search=User_talk:Lades2222", but rather than being resolved, the conflict grew larger. Moreover, the other editor hurled harsh insults and swear words at me. And he also hurled insults and swear words at my main page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User:Lades2222&action=history). I also violated the "revert" rule to defend the page from the editor. This is unlikely to be effective even through mediation. Since it can't be resolved at all, what should I do so that both me and the editor in question are punished? I am already ready to be punished. Lades2222 ( talk) 21:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Upon reviewing the content of the page, I have noticed that the "Criticism" section appears to be promoting vandalism rather than contributing constructively to the article. As a result, it may inadvertently perpetuate a negative or biased portrayal of Maulana Ilyas Qadri, which goes against Wikipedia's principles of neutrality and verifiability.
I believe that removing this section would help maintain the integrity of the article and ensure that it presents a fair and balanced representation of Maulana Ilyas Qadri's contributions and activities. By doing so, we can uphold Wikipedia's commitment to providing accurate and reliable information to its readers. Khanadir ( talk) 10:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
I started with Neko Lexi. She acknowledges she is MissYandere (see also MissYandere2. Says she wanted a new account. Then in looking at Neko's Talk page she admitted (don't think she's said anything about it before the admission) that she's Quirkykiana (that one's edits overlap) (her userpage says she has Kiana as an alternate account, but it doesn't exist). Then, feeling like Alice chasing the rabbit down a hole, I saw EdenBAnn (you should look at the conversation she has with herself/him (with Quirkykiana) on EdenBAnn's Talk page - now mostly blanked). Eden says he's male, emphatically. There is a good possibility they are classmates or something. Also noticed a couple of suppressed edits. Finally, the conversations on this page between the two users is, well, I don't know how to describe it, you can make up your own mind, I don't know enough teenagers.
Then there's the edits themselves. Apparently, she thinks she's up to counter-vandalism, welcoming new users (and IPs), sometimes when they haven't edited, doing the usual bombardment of the Teahouse (my experience is this kind of editor loves yakking with anyone, Wikipedia, the social media platform), and having some really weird discussions on other users' Talk pages (poor User talk:Marchjuly).
That's enough to go on, but I can't help but believe there are more accounts. Over to you.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey, Ponyo,
I didn't know where to go with this question and I thought, "Hey, I haven't been to Ponyo's talk page in a while so I'll ask you!" So, here I am. If you don't know the answer, maybe you can point me in the right direction.
One of my daily, boring tasks is deleting orphaned talk pages. I've noticed that when admins do a mass page deletion of pages created by a block-evading sockpuppet, the deletion tool doesn't delete the talk pages associated with the articlea. Do you know how to fix this? I've only done mass deletion one or two times so I'm not sure who came up with the tool and where to request an adjustment. As a checkuser, I assume you have cause to use it more than I have so you might know how this glitch could be resolved. These orphaned talk pages eventually do get deleted (we have a nightly database report that sniffs them out) but it seems like it would be easier if they were deleted when the article pages are deleted.

Hello, Ponyo. I saw you were the admin giving them a block notice. It looks like they've made a personal attack (which I've since removed, saw on my watchlist).

Hi Ponyo, I pinged you over at Talk:Negasonic Teenage Warhead but I'm reaching out here as well in case you don't see it.

I'm looking at the following accounts: Sssaaraa, Ibaadat Siddiqui, and Perso007. You CU-blocked Sssaaraa in October 2023, so unless there's some login data that I can't see, the account would be stale, although CU log data might be helpful. Your edit summary is "UPE studio spam", which doesn't help me much to identify other accounts connected with them. Anyway the latter two accounts seem to be the same person, even if they're not the same person as Sssaaraa, but I don't think the behavioral similarities are compelling enough for me to block without technical confirmation. Any illumination here?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo. I was asked to take a look at the edit warring since I had done the previous block. Two weeks seems a little long. Would you consider a shorter block or a warning? After considering a week-long block or perhaps a month-long partial block, I was about to leave this warning:
Please stop
edit warring to restore your preferred text on
Fallout (American TV series). You've seen that two other editors disagree and you were blocked for 24 hours for edit warring. If you want to get that text added to the article, it's time to start discussing it on the talk page and see if you get consensus for the change. I would also strongly recommend reading
MOS:ACCLAIMED. Superlatives like "critical acclaim" need to be attributed to multiple sources. Basically, the other editors seem to be following the Manual of Style. If you continue to edit war, the next block will almost certainly be longer than the last one.
The main reason I wanted to try one more warning is that it doesn't look like anyone has actually pointed the new editor at
MOS:ACCLAIMED and the edits were so slow motion that it seemed reasonable to try another warning. Even if you decide against shortening the block, I still want to leave a note so please let me know what you decide. Thanks for taking another look.

Hello, Ponyo,
I think I mentioned this to you before but, to be honest, the past three weeks have been kind of blur to me dealing with a relative in hospice care.
But you did a mass deletion of pages created by a sock earlier today. Unfortunately, whatever tool you use doesn't delete talk pages at the same time so there were 52 talk pages that had to be deleted later (see User:Liz/Test for a list). Is there any way this mass deletion tool could also delete the accompanying talk pages at the same time? I'm not sure who developed this editing tool to make a request on their talk page. Thanks.

Hi, could you check if this account is a sockpuppet /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/Hidolo Its a newly registered single-purpose account who does nothing other than adding "far-right" or similar to political parties, even if the statement is not supported by sources (eg. here, he/she added "far-right" 1, even though it was not mentioned anywhere is the provided source 1 and was describing a completely different party). The user seems to already be familiar with tagging users and WP:3O ( 1) which leads me to believe that this is not the first time this person has edited here -- FMSky ( talk) 16:16, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Dear Ponyo, Can you explain to me why you returned the notification for the visa agreement with Azerbaijan to the Future changes section?
- I made that change because it has now entered into force as an agreement and it makes no sense to add it as information because it causes confusion among readers.
- One more thing, if it is possible for you to change the color to green on the map "Visa policy of Albania" for the state of Azerbaijan?
Thank you Brizton ( talk) 15:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Who cares how many edits you have? I have WAY more than you do. Like Wikipedia articles, it's not quality but quantity that matters. So stuff that in your you-have-more-hats-than-I-do, and my agent fee is going up by 10% effective 30 days from now. You have the right to cancel the agency with a 165,000+ early cancellation fee.
On a wholly related topic, where did I get the idea that Bishonen lives in Canada? Or at least that other commonwealth country, England?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:08, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
I'll be away for a chunk of July. And now you know why your edit count is less than mine. You still have this ridiculous notion that you should have a life outside Wikipedia. Stuff and nonsense. Have fun, wherever you're off to.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 22:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo, thanks for protecting the Antarpat (TV series) and Abeer Gulal redirects. There's more so I need to put something together at the very least for a RFPP request. I keep coming across them while researching another sock/UPE farm and was planning to file an SPI but set it aside. Do you think an SPI will be useful given these are IPs? Part of me feels like it should be documented but I am also lazy so there's that too lol. S0091 ( talk) 18:45, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Per advice from Nickps, I am requesting the revdel of all edits in User:Immanuelle related to my tagging, since I see you in CAT:RFRD. - Altenmann >talk 21:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Neighhh, my little Ponyo. These two accounts were created six hours apart, and have been taken to WP:UAA by two separate users:
Secretlondon said she didn't think they were bad enough to block since they hadn't edited, which made several people angry. But I've got a different angle: we don't actually see a lot of usernames of this nature. Isn't it likely those two are socks? Is it possible to CU them without contributions?

I would have blocked the Joebiden account as an attack name regardless of whether they've edited or not. Probably would've left the Trump one until they edited, then go from there. <shrug>. As they're both blocked now, any socking aspect is moot.-- Ponyo bons mots 15:46, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I'm pretty sure this is another sock for BKeira930. Doctorhawkes ( talk) 10:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
