I've been editting very sparse the last month and an IP has been continuing to follow me Article to Article ever since an MOS issue months ago over a comma placement that another user agreed with me that the MOS was wrong.Im starting to feel like they are stalking me, you can see by their edits Every time I edit a Wrestling Article like this and this they pop up again. They only edit wrestling articles right after I do. Pretty positive they are following me article to article. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" Talk to me 01:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi Yamla - Ben again from UberEATS. I have one more question regarding the image/logo on the UberEATS wikipedia listing: Can we upload the logo to Flickr, set the copyright setting as Attribution-ShareAlike, then upload our new logo to the Wikipedia page? Just want to be sure we're going about things the proper way here; really appreciate your helpful guidance.

Hi,
Season's greeting,
One of the user User:संदेश हिवाळे (English spelling of the name:Sandesh Hiwale)'s User account is blocked here on en:wp. It seems he was mainly blocked for 'constantly adding honorifics', not knowing that he is on encyclopaedia, and being new not aware of the policies, in initial enthusiasm he seems to have got involved in reverts to put those honorifics back. His initials edits were mainly through mobile phone and with initial enthusiasm he did not know importance of talk page messages and either over looked or missed.
Besides during his unblock request, even when he was saying 'sorry' by mistake he seems to have tampered a template placed by you, and that seems to have angered you. He has approached me and another local admin on Marathi language wikipedia to inform you of misunderstanding.
He has informed us on our talk page at mr wikipedia that he has understood his mistakes and does not want to repeat them.
Our experince with him on Marathi language wikipedia has been that he is very much a well intentioned user. Even at mr-wikipedia initially he took time to come for discussions on talk pages since he used to edit from mobile phone. But subsequently over a period of time, he started interacting with the local community in constructive manner. And so far all of his communications have been polite enough, and undersigned can vouch for the same.
So even before making any further attempt for unblock request we regret the inconvinience caused before. I am sure in future he can be mentored for constructive edits. Probably what we can do is, for few more months let him write his most of proposed edits on respctive talk pages first and only after if there is no objection on article talk page or after discussing with some mentor let him include those edits in the articles.
His en wp talk page is also marked for Wikipedia:Standard offer by another admin. It seems his last edits were in april month. We would like to know when again he can make an unblock request.
Thanks and warm regards

Hello, Yamla. SORRY if the syntax of my writing on this talk page is a little awkward, as I am writing this from my IPad. You declined my request for an unblock for Vortex2345 because I did not make my request from that account. The reason why I made my request from the IP address was because that account is indefinitely blocked. I am unable to even edit my own talk page. I got blocked due to sock puppetry and did not get a chance to post an unblock request from that account due to my inability to access my own talk page. I request that you please consider unblocking that account as it is very important. You can keep the other,sock puppet accounts permanently blocked,but please unblock Vortex2345. It is very important to me. My edits made from that account have always been constructive,which you can see for yourself. Please, this is my earnest request. Again, I apologize for the incorrect syntax of writing as my computer is broken and my IPad is all I have. Also, as I am not a native speaker of English, my English may be bad. Please consider my request.

Hi.
I noticed you recently declined the Unblock Request by Joeymiskulin, and I wondered what you think about the text they put in under the notice declaring that their request was declined:
"I'm trying to remove the hidden text that GUtt01 put up that requests Wikipedians to go to the article's talk page about the infobox layout for the two directors of the movie and there are two words in the end credits! They're the only two hidden comments that I tried to remove but it didn't work! These are disturbing, and rather 'adult' requests and now I have been blocked for trying to get rid of the hidden text because the hidden text won't request me to go to the article's talk page about the infobox layout for the two directors of the movie and there are two words in the end credits! That contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeymiskulin (talk • contribs) 22:59, 4 August 2017 (UTC)"
As you already stated about the initial part, you were unclear about whether they understood why their actions were inappropriate, but the rest is... odd. First and foremost, this line "These are disturbing, and rather 'adult' requests" - this a direct copy and paste of something I wrote in a message to another user, Oshwah, in regards to something that had been written out within a message about Joeymiskulin, that had been written by a user that had harrassed Oshwah with something that I won't repeat, but which you can check out on the history log of the Talk Page. The next line, "I have been blocked for trying to get rid of the hidden text because the hidden text won't request me to go to the article's talk page about the infobox layout for the two directors of the movie", doesn't make sense, because within the Infobox for the article, The Lego Movie, I wrote HIDDEN TXT in regards to something that had been regularly changed between two formats, an action that had gotten ridiculous and needed discussion and debate on which format should be used. His argument that it "won't request me to go to the article's talk page" is contradicted by the fact that my HIDDEN TXT states, very clearly, "Please see Talk Page before making any changes, as this section is under discussion over constant changes between two formats".
His next line, "...there are two words in the end credits...", refers to HIDDEN TXT in regards to a character's name in the film; I believe someone did that to ensure that people knew that that was how it was denoted in the film's official credits, so whether there is some weight in the following line "That contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability!", I'm not sure. If he had an issue with it, why didn't he just take it to the article's Talk Page, and see if Wikipedians could confirm that to be the case and provide proper citations, rather than remove it before it could be confirmed? Because if no-one could confirm, he could have been justified in removing that piece of HIDDEN TXT.
Anyway... Your thoughts on this would be most appreciated, so please respond when you are free to do so. Thanks. :-) GUtt01 ( talk) 12:58, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Yo, can you salt the page you just deleted? It's part of a long list of pages created by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Shiwam_Kumar_Sriwastaw with Shiwam_Kumar_Sriwastaw being the "created repetitively" example. Additionally he's just also created Shivam Kumar Shriwastava and I think that is why he had the {{unblock}} template on his mainpage; for his 28 other blocked sockpuppet accounts. — IVORK Discuss 14:10, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Done. I've also sent an email to emergency@ in re to the suicide bit although this doesn't seem to qualify as a direct suicide threat per se. This is an odd time, just a couple of days back a paid farm sent an appeal via UTRS saying that I asked for money via email to unblock them, I'd forwarded a note on that to Arbcom, you may want to do the same here, just so that people in the know can keep watch on the situation to avoid any trouble. cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 14:39, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Interested in making this a real article. My past article creation statistics are pretty strong.

Hi Yamla. It looks as though you declined this user's unblock appeal, but for some reason your response wasn't showing on the live version of the page, only in the edit mode. I couldn't seem to get your reply to show up, so I've replaced it with my own (same reasoning, basically) - just thought I should let you know. All the best, Yunshui 雲 水 07:44, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
You work on unblocks, often for editors wanting a rename, so have you considered applying for global rename permission at m:Steward requests/Global permissions? A number of en.wiki admins have done it, and it makes the unblock/rename thing a lot easier. Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 16:18, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
Hey there, and thanks for helping me out with this. It seems I can't submit a ticket since when I try and submit, a different IP comes up saying it is not blocked. Guess I have no choice other than posting here.
According to Wikipedia block message: 52.206.0.0/16 (blocked by 'Slakr') According to WhatIsMyIp: 52.206.255.145

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Hi. I googled and found a Reddit discussion where a rep from PIA said they added some Logicweb IP addresses to their rotation. For now if I request a new IP from PIA by disconnecting and connecting it seems to work around the block. I still don't understand why a user who is logged in needs to be blocked at all. Oldmedman ( talk) 23:18, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
This is coming from the same person under a different IP address.
The previous block for this IP address (74.88.76.222) has expired, but this IP address (74.88.76.222) still has to stay blocked because the length of the previous block for this IP address (74.88.76.222) seriously should have been extended, and needs to be extended because this IP address (74.88.76.222) has initially made an edit on this talk page that contains death threats before the edit has been undone. 74.88.74.98 ( talk) 09:37, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Reading your comment at WP:ANI. Reading everyone else's comments, it probably is a malicious user ... but given I managed to lock both myself and another non-existent user out, because I couldn't get my password/user right a few minutes ago, I wouldn't always assume malice. (not sure what happened ... as I was right all along, it was only after 2 fails, that I started trying other things ... root cause is probably I'm using a different keyboard today.

Yamla, I recently received an anonymous message here [ [10]] suggesting that HughD may have a new user name. I ran an editor interaction [ [11]] which suggests there may be something here. The new editor does have the blitz of edits style that HughD used when going after the Ford Pinto article [ [12]] (rather than using a sandbox to make a several changes at once). The editor's talk page has been started with the blue "+template" blocked HughD IP addresses ([ [13]], blocked IP socks [ [14]], [ [15]], [ [16]]). The new editor has received two edit related warnings [ [17]], [ [18]].
The area of interest is conservative politics and climate change. Talk page comments read much like HughD arguments [ [19]]. The way the argument was formatted here, [ [20]], [ [21]], [ [22]] and here [ [23]] (less than 3 weeks after joining) seem similar to HughD examples like this [ [24]] and [ [25]]. The editor is "new" (Aug 18th) yet the first talk page edits are project links (Aug 29th [ [26]]) shortly followed by quoting Wiki guidelines ([ [27]], [ [28]]) and commenting on requests for adminship (Sept 18th [ [29]], Aug 31[ [30]]). These sorts of edits suggest an editor who has been around for quite some time.
The evidence that this is a HughD sock is reasonably strong. That said, I don't like that an anonymous IP was the one who contacted me about this issue. I think this probably is HughD but I don't like that someone is asking me to do their search work or dirty work. Not sure what to do next. Thanks Springee ( talk) 02:13, 17 October 2017 (UTC) Looking at a few other edit styles I strongly suspect this is a new account for HughD. Do you have any suggestions? My thoughts are SPI.

Hi Yamla, hope you are doing well. I saw your name here, so that is why I am here. The community had to put up with the disruptor editor Asilah1981 for 2 and a half years, still he was allowed to change his username and delete his record, in a way that makes it more difficult to trace his disruptive activity and present-day investigation.

These are disturbing, and rather 'adult' requests and now I have been blocked for trying to get rid of the hidden text because the hidden text won't request me to go to the article's talk page about the infobox layout for the two directors of the movie and there are two words in the end credits! That contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeymiskulin (talk • contribs) 22:59, 4 August 2017 (UTC)"
As you already stated about the initial part, you were unclear about whether they understood why their actions were inappropriate, but the rest is... odd. First and foremost, this line "These are disturbing, and rather 'adult' requests" - this a direct copy and paste of something I wrote in a message to another user, Oshwah, in regards to something that had been written out within a message about Joeymiskulin, that had been written by a user that had harrassed Oshwah with something that I won't repeat, but which you can check out on the history log of the Talk Page. The next line, "I have been blocked for trying to get rid of the hidden text because the hidden text won't request me to go to the article's talk page about the infobox layout for the two directors of the movie", doesn't make sense, because within the Infobox for the article, The Lego Movie, I wrote HIDDEN TXT in regards to something that had been regularly changed between two formats, an action that had gotten ridiculous and needed discussion and debate on which format should be used. His argument that it "won't request me to go to the article's talk page" is contradicted by the fact that my HIDDEN TXT states, very clearly, "Please see Talk Page before making any changes, as this section is under discussion over constant changes between two formats".
His next line, "...there are two words in the end credits...", refers to HIDDEN TXT in regards to a character's name in the film; I believe someone did that to ensure that people knew that that was how it was denoted in the film's official credits, so whether there is some weight in the following line "That contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability!", I'm not sure. If he had an issue with it, why didn't he just take it to the article's Talk Page, and see if Wikipedians could confirm that to be the case and provide proper citations, rather than remove it before it could be confirmed? Because if no-one could confirm, he could have been justified in removing that piece of HIDDEN TXT.
Anyway... Your thoughts on this would be most appreciated, so please respond when you are free to do so. Thanks. :-) GUtt01 ( talk) 12:58, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

No doubt you will come to the same conclusion but it appears we have yet another new Apollo sock: Special:Contributions/Ian012344. Mabuska (talk) 20:15, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
Yo, can you salt the page you just deleted? It's part of a long list of pages created by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Shiwam_Kumar_Sriwastaw with Shiwam_Kumar_Sriwastaw being the "created repetitively" example. Additionally he's just also created Shivam Kumar Shriwastava and I think that is why he had the {{unblock}} template on his mainpage; for his 28 other blocked sockpuppet accounts. — IVORK Discuss 14:10, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Done. I've also sent an email to emergency@ in re to the suicide bit although this doesn't seem to qualify as a direct suicide threat per se. This is an odd time, just a couple of days back a paid farm sent an appeal via UTRS saying that I asked for money via email to unblock them, I'd forwarded a note on that to Arbcom, you may want to do the same here, just so that people in the know can keep watch on the situation to avoid any trouble. cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 14:39, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Just an FYI. HughD continues to try to disrupt the article and talk page. The article was semi protected but Hugh is now trying to work via the talk page. Today we have a proxy site posting a RFC that is nearly identical to this one by Hugh. [ [6]] Thanks Springee ( talk) 21:18, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Interested in making this a real article. My past article creation statistics are pretty strong. I disagree with the AfD as it was in 2015 because the deletes were claiming Life West is not accredited whereas I've found information stating it's been accredited since the 80's. [7]. It says to ask the user who deleted the page before making a new page with the same content, so here I am! SEMMENDINGER ( talk) 23:05, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi Yamla. It looks as though you declined this user's unblock appeal, but for some reason your response wasn't showing on the live version of the page, only in the edit mode. I couldn't seem to get your reply to show up, so I've replaced it with my own (same reasoning, basically) - just thought I should let you know. All the best, Yunshui 雲 水 07:44, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
You work on unblocks, often for editors wanting a rename, so have you considered applying for global rename permission at m:Steward requests/Global permissions? A number of en.wiki admins have done it, and it makes the unblock/rename thing a lot easier. Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 16:18, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
Hey there, and thanks for helping me out with this. It seems I can't submit a ticket since when I try and submit, a different IP comes up saying it is not blocked. Guess I have no choice other than posting here.
According to Wikipedia block message: 52.206.0.0/16 (blocked by 'Slakr') According to WhatIsMyIp: 52.206.255.145
Thanks again.

You beat me to the unblock request... lol. I just extended the duration of the block on this range and revoked talk page access. It's clear with the edits made to that talk page just now that the user is editing only to troll and be disruptive. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 00:02, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Hi. I googled and found a Reddit discussion where a rep from PIA said they added some Logicweb IP addresses to their rotation. For now if I request a new IP from PIA by disconnecting and connecting it seems to work around the block. I still don't understand why a user who is logged in needs to be blocked at all. Oldmedman ( talk) 23:18, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
This is coming from the same person under a different IP address.
The previous block for this IP address (74.88.76.222) has expired, but this IP address (74.88.76.222) still has to stay blocked because the length of the previous block for this IP address (74.88.76.222) seriously should have been extended, and needs to be extended because this IP address (74.88.76.222) has initially made an edit on this talk page that contains death threats before the edit has been undone. 74.88.74.98 ( talk) 09:37, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Reading your comment at WP:ANI. Reading everyone else's comments, it probably is a malicious user ... but given I managed to lock both myself and another non-existent user out, because I couldn't get my password/user right a few minutes ago, I wouldn't always assume malice. (not sure what happened ... as I was right all along, it was only after 2 fails, that I started trying other things ... root cause is probably I'm using a different keyboard today. Sometimes people's minds are just somewhere else, and use the username for a different website - if it's short and common). Nfitz ( talk) 16:49, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Yamla, I recently received an anonymous message here [ [10]] suggesting that HughD may have a new user name. I ran an editor interaction [ [11]] which suggests there may be something here. The new editor does have the blitz of edits style that HughD used when going after the Ford Pinto article [ [12]] (rather than using a sandbox to make a several changes at once). The editor's talk page has been started with the blue "+template" blocked HughD IP addresses ([ [13]], blocked IP socks [ [14]], [ [15]], [ [16]]). The new editor has received two edit related warnings [ [17]], [ [18]].
The area of interest is conservative politics and climate change. Talk page comments read much like HughD arguments [ [19]]. The way the argument was formatted here, [ [20]], [ [21]], [ [22]] and here [ [23]] (less than 3 weeks after joining) seem similar to HughD examples like this [ [24]] and [ [25]]. The editor is "new" (Aug 18th) yet the first talk page edits are project links (Aug 29th [ [26]]) shortly followed by quoting Wiki guidelines ([ [27]], [ [28]]) and commenting on requests for adminship (Sept 18th [ [29]], Aug 31[ [30]]). These sorts of edits suggest an editor who has been around for quite some time.
The evidence that this is a HughD sock is reasonably strong. That said, I don't like that an anonymous IP was the one who contacted me about this issue. I think this probably is HughD but I don't like that someone is asking me to do their search work or dirty work. Not sure what to do next. Thanks Springee ( talk) 02:13, 17 October 2017 (UTC) Looking at a few other edit styles I strongly suspect this is a new account for HughD. Do you have any suggestions? My thoughts are SPI.

Hi Yamla, hope you are doing well. I saw your name here, so that is why I am here. The community had to put up with the disruptor editor Asilah1981 for 2 and a half years, still he was allowed to change his username and delete his record, in a way that makes it more difficult to trace his disruptive activity and present-day investigation. Is there any way that log can be disclosed for scrutiny in present-day irregular WP activity? Sorry if you are not the person to address. Regards Iñaki LL ( talk) 11:26, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
