Hi Ingenuity, you had blocked several SPAs (among them Damogert) and IP ranges for repeated sockpuppet-based vandalism on Infanticide, but the vandalism has since continued, by 82.76.117.96, Hagesolt, Dasoject: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Hagesolt is already blocked, but maybe you could block the others too? I would also suggest semi-protecting the article, since I suppose that'll be the only way to hopefully stop the vandalism. Thanks, Gawaon ( talk) 13:46, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The other user's been blocked, and I've protected the page for a couple months. — Ingenuity ( t •  c) 14:44, 30 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi, it is regarding this one you recently blocked. I believe this is the original one, same area/similar style. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 19:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Looks like it. I've blocked them, along with Fudo myoo98000. — Ingenuity ( t •  c) 19:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello, I would like to suggest adding a dark mode to antivandal. It would be a lot easier on the eyes. Thanks! GrayStorm^{( Complaints Dept.| My Contribs.)} 21:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the suggestion, @ GrayStorm! That is a feature that I'd like to add eventually, but unfortunately, I don't have a ton of time right now to work on it. I'll try to at some point, though! — Ingenuity ( t •  c) 23:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Cool. Thats understandable that you can't work on it currently, but I look forward to seeing it when it does come out. GrayStorm^{( Complaints Dept.| My Contribs.)} 23:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC) reply

I didn't want to just change the block since you seemed to have made deliberate choices with the settings, but given that the main account had talk pages access revoked, I think maybe the sock should to. We've clearly wasted more than enough time on this person. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 00:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Just Step Sideways: it looks like Scottperry only has email disabled; I just left the settings the same as JPxG's initial block. I'm not opposed to revoking their TPA, though, given that they seem on the verge of making legal threats. — Ingenuity ( t •  c) 00:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Well, I'm dumb. He had it revoked at one point but I see now it was restored later. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 01:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Ingenuity, just to jump on this - thanks for removing the other edit summaries from his attack sock. Needless to say, I didn’t take too kindly to some of those PAs. The Kip ^{( contribs)} 02:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi! Is there a tool I can use to find Wikipedia users who have edited the same set of articles? I have read Wikipedia:Tools/User interaction investigations which is somewhat similar, but not what I want. Polygnotus ( talk) 03:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Polygnotus: I actually created a tool like that, and used it on Hajer (it's a bunch of Javascript code; I can send it to you, if you like). There aren't any other users with significant overlap that the tool found, though. I also went through the history of basically every article they've edited manually, but found nothing. There is one user (AZAA23) who could be related, but they have only made two edits on enwiki. — Ingenuity ( t •  c) 03:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC) reply

If you would be so kind to send me that tool it would be greatly appreciated (you can email it or paste it on my userpage, whatever you prefer). I was thinking of writing something like that myself and sticking it on Github. In exchange I can offer the contribution list tool (press on the Show changes button here to see its output) but its not really finished yet. Without accusing anyone; I think I may have found an account that is very enthusiastic about certain well-known brands. Polygnotus ( talk) 04:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Polygnotus: I've emailed you the code. It isn't super accurate, though, so treat its results with a grain of salt. — Ingenuity ( t •  c) 04:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Interesting, thank you. For the record: there is no indication that the other user is related to Hajer-12 in any way, but they are a lot more excited about certain brands than you or I would be. Polygnotus ( talk) 04:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello Ingenuity.

I just wanted to remind you that a Nothere user (now blocked) asked a question on your AntiVandal.js talk page [5]. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will interfere with the AntiVandal script. 🛧 Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 04:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC) reply

( talk page stalker) I'm not an expert on user scripts, but seeing as that is the talk page, and not the code itself, it should be fine. And anyway, you probably couldn't mess with the code even if you wanted to. Javascript pages are protected so that only the user who's subpage it is and interface admins can edit them (eg. I could edit User:GrayStorm/Lorem.js but not User:Ingenuity/Ipsum.js, however an interface admin could edit both these pages). Hope this helps! GrayStorm^{( Complaints Dept.| My Contribs.)} 05:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC) reply

@ GrayStorm, That's good to know! Anyways, I'll leave the message as it be and let Ingenuity decide. Cheers. 🛧 Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 08:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC) reply
