Why was he indefblocked? Normally, for first cases of sockpuppetry, we don't block indefinitely unless it's exceptionally egregious (vandal / outing socks). Additionally, I think one should consider how pressured and frustrated he likely was by certain crazed opponents.... Maybe reduce the block to a week?

You were recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Sockpuppet investigation block. Given the legal, privacy and BLP implications of holding the case in public the Committee has decided to run the case completely in camera, to that effect there will be no public evidence submission or workshop. Editors with direct knowledge of the events and related evidence are requested to email their to arbcom-en-blists.wikimedia.org by May 7, 2015 which is when evidence submission will close. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 07:01, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, your Reduncyship. You did a CU at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SCD Fan. Behavioural evidence strongly inclines me to think that Buggydance1972 is another sockpuppet of the same person, but the fact that you did not mention that account in your CU report discourages me from blocking it. Presumably there is no compelling CU evidence against that account, or you would have mentioned it, but I wonder if you would be willing have a CU look at the account, and let me know whether you think it is at all possible.

Hi! I know that you are very busy. I just thought that maybe you forgot about the WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Muktar allebbey case. Just to remind you, I sent you a (somewhat scaled down) copies of e-mails that Hadraa has linked at a discussion page trying to prove his point. They are hard to read, but if you enlarge, it becomes readable (at least I was able to read). The e-mail address and username is a clear evidence of connection between Hadraa and the sockmaster.

Thanks for unearthing
this.
I have interacted for years with some of the accounts, and seen other around on India/Hinduism related pages and while there were clear ideological matches, that ideology was not uncommon enough for me to to suspect sockpuppetry at such a massive scale. Genuinely
shocked and wondering I was the only one walking around with such giant blinkers. Not sure how you go to the bottom of this, but real glad you did.

Hi DoRD, I realise you are limited in what you can say - if you have to reply now with "no comment" then so be it. Is it possible that active accounts were missed when you did the OZ check?

Hello DoRD, The topic pertaining to Speaker Knockerz, a highly notable hip-hop artist and producer with national airplay, has been deleted for some time now. I believe the reason for deletion is outdated and I would personally like to create the article. To deny that Speaker Knockerz is a notable artist would be absurd. He has produced records for such artists as Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, Pusha T... the list of multi-millionaire artists he has worked with goes on. Most of his own music, as well, surpasses 10+ million views on YouTube.

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.
An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.
The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.
Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign
If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.
Thank you,

Is it completely impossible for a CheckUser to connect an account with an open proxy IP? That is, if a named Wikipedia account has been using IPs for the purpose of harassment (strictly defined), can a check user scan reveal a connection between the user account and the IPs, even though they're open proxies? Thanks. BMK ( talk) 14:44, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
@ Bbb23: and DoRD - if I may take up a bit more of your time, given that a CheckUser will not -- and cannot due to policy -- connect an account to IPs (and is that true even in the case of an open proxy, which reveals nothing about the location of the account?), it would seem to me that filing an SPI in that situation is entirely superfluous, since no connection will be revealed, and a block would be a de facto recognition of that connection. Where the open proxy IPs are already blocked for being open proxies, the entire point of getting a CheckUser involved would be to show a connection between the blocked proxies and the account, i.e. to show that the account is responsible for the harassment. In your opinion, does that need to be done via a public SPI or by private correspondence, either with an individual CheckUser or with ArbCom? BMK ( talk) 02:08, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Earlier today, I PRODed MuEv, but when I went to the article's talk page to place the {{Old prod full}} tag, I noticed that you speedy deleted the article in January 2014 per WP:G11. My understanding is that PROD should not be used for articles that have been proposed for deletion in the past. Does this also apply to articles that were re-written after they were deleted? I have a strong sense that this article likely qualifies for deletion (perhaps even speedy deletion), but I want to make sure I follow the proper procedures. Thanks in advance for you help with this!

Hi, I was wondering whether you could run CheckUser on Secretpolice101 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). The account filed a single disruptive AfD on an article that had been unsuccessfully AfD'd thrice prior, and hasn't done anything other than that.

You may have noticed that I kept trying to use the script to archive this case yesterday. It would hang at the archive editing. So I spent far too much time staring at the archive and looking for what was wrong with it as the script is sensitive to certain kinds of problems. It's a long archive, so I operated on the premise that whatever was wrong had to be recent because others had archived it without apparent problem. Because you're not as pig-headed as I am (smile), you just did it manually. I'm wondering though what will happen the next time and whether I should pursue a more permanent solution. It also gnaws at me that I can't figure it out, but that's just one of the small neuroses I collect just as others collect stamps.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:41, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi DoRD, just to say that strictly speaking this case can probably be closed with immediate effect (unless that's not the way things are done of course), as the user concerned has just been indef. blocked for disruption and other matters (see the TP history).

Hi DoRD. I was going to contact User:Bbb23 about this, but it seems he's taking a break. He dealt with a previous sockpuppetry case here:
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Giubbotto non ortodosso/Archive
I've noticed two users with very similar editing patterns as User:Mario Maraschi (one of Giubbotto's sockpuppets) on the Back to Sleep (song) page:
They are both making the same edits as Mario Maraschi on the page, and were both created after he was blocked indefinitely. In addition, Colui che beve la colla vinilica says his name is Giovanni Muciaccia, which bares an uncanny resemblance to the names Giubbotto and Maraschi. And Just editing with a smile spelt the word irrelevant as "irrilevant", which is the exact same spelling that Mario Maraschi previously used for that same word. Is it possible to look into whether these two accounts are related to Giubbotto and Mario Maraschi? Thanks. Maestro2016 ( talk) 23:02, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Quick question. A now-indef-blocked editor indicated that they had also edited under other accounts, though they did not reveal which. Do we have some tool to discover this, and if so block the other accounts? I have in mind this recent matter. Thanks. -- Epeefleche ( talk) 22:25, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Oh, DoRD, I don't know what happened with this edit! I was looking at an old revision of this user page and then Chrome crashed and I just reopened it to find it undid your work. I'm sorry, I don't know how that happened. My apologies to you. Liz Read! Talk! 21:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
The user was brought for spi investigation by you. One of his socks "Fundarise" participated in an rfc on Barelvi article. He commented in defence of Gorge and sounds alot like GorgeCustersSabre because they both edit on South asian related articles. Fundarise's Barelvi ANI post is almost identical to Gorge's post in barelvi rfc, One other thing Gorge has been in conflict with xtremedood looking at his talk page. Can you check if they are related? 50.118.172.89 ( talk) 02:08, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi! I know that you are very busy. I just thought that maybe you forgot about the WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Muktar allebbey case. Just to remind you, I sent you a (somewhat scaled down) copies of e-mails that Hadraa has linked at a discussion page trying to prove his point. They are hard to read, but if you enlarge, it becomes readable (at least I was able to read). The e-mail address and username is a clear evidence of connection between Hadraa and the sockmaster. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for unearthing
this.
I have interacted for years with some of the accounts, and seen other around on India/Hinduism related pages and while there were clear ideological matches, that ideology was not uncommon enough for me to to suspect sockpuppetry at such a massive scale. Genuinely
shocked and wondering I was the only one walking around with such giant blinkers. Not sure how you go to the bottom of this, but real glad you did.

Hi DoRD, I realise you are limited in what you can say - if you have to reply now with "no comment" then so be it. Is it possible that active accounts were missed when you did the OZ check? I've got a couple exhibiting odd behaviour but it would definitely need a CU & there's no point filing if the CU has already covered that ground. - Sitush ( talk) 12:21, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello DoRD, The topic pertaining to Speaker Knockerz, a highly notable hip-hop artist and producer with national airplay, has been deleted for some time now. I believe the reason for deletion is outdated and I would personally like to create the article. To deny that Speaker Knockerz is a notable artist would be absurd. He has produced records for such artists as Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, Pusha T... the list of multi-millionaire artists he has worked with goes on. Most of his own music, as well, surpasses 10+ million views on YouTube. Please let me know how I can go about this, because I feel it is a massive injustice. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Speaker_Knockerz&action=edit&redlink=1 Jaybird42 ( talk) 00:22, 26 August 2015 (UTC) August 25th 2015 8:20PM EST Jaybird42 ( talk) 00:22, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.
An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.
The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.
Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign
If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.
Thank you,

Is it completely impossible for a CheckUser to connect an account with an open proxy IP? That is, if a named Wikipedia account has been using IPs for the purpose of harassment (strictly defined), can a check user scan reveal a connection between the user account and the IPs, even though they're open proxies? Thanks. BMK ( talk) 14:44, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
@ Bbb23: and DoRD - if I may take up a bit more of your time, given that a CheckUser will not -- and cannot due to policy -- connect an account to IPs (and is that true even in the case of an open proxy, which reveals nothing about the location of the account?), it would seem to me that filing an SPI in that situation is entirely superfluous, since no connection will be revealed, and a block would be a de facto recognition of that connection. Where the open proxy IPs are already blocked for being open proxies, the entire point of getting a CheckUser involved would be to show a connection between the blocked proxies and the account, i.e. to show that the account is responsible for the harassment. In your opinion, does that need to be done via a public SPI or by private correspondence, either with an individual CheckUser or with ArbCom? BMK ( talk) 02:08, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Earlier today, I PRODed MuEv, but when I went to the article's talk page to place the {{Old prod full}} tag, I noticed that you speedy deleted the article in January 2014 per WP:G11. My understanding is that PROD should not be used for articles that have been proposed for deletion in the past. Does this also apply to articles that were re-written after they were deleted? I have a strong sense that this article likely qualifies for deletion (perhaps even speedy deletion), but I want to make sure I follow the proper procedures. Thanks in advance for you help with this!

Hi, I was wondering whether you could run CheckUser on Secretpolice101 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). The account filed a single disruptive AfD on an article that had been unsuccessfully AfD'd thrice prior, and hasn't done anything other than that. This feels like a sock created to reprise a notability dispute that had been settled numerous times. Newbiepedian ( Hailing Frequencies) 13:48, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

You may have noticed that I kept trying to use the script to archive this case yesterday. It would hang at the archive editing. So I spent far too much time staring at the archive and looking for what was wrong with it as the script is sensitive to certain kinds of problems. It's a long archive, so I operated on the premise that whatever was wrong had to be recent because others had archived it without apparent problem. Because you're not as pig-headed as I am (smile), you just did it manually. I'm wondering though what will happen the next time and whether I should pursue a more permanent solution. It also gnaws at me that I can't figure it out, but that's just one of the small neuroses I collect just as others collect stamps.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:41, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi DoRD, just to say that strictly speaking this case can probably be closed with immediate effect (unless that's not the way things are done of course), as the user concerned has just been indef. blocked for disruption and other matters (see the TP history). Of course, if you want to complete the case, I'd like to know if I was right.

Please remove the "suspected of using multiple accounts" tag from User:Apteva. Multiple accounts are not only permitted but are necessary. This is an alternative account, that is used in a permissible manner. The accusations of sockpuppetry occurred without my knowledge and while I was blocked so that I could not defend them.

Hi DoRD. I was going to contact User:Bbb23 about this, but it seems he's taking a break. He dealt with a previous sockpuppetry case here:
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Giubbotto non ortodosso/Archive
I've noticed two users with very similar editing patterns as User:Mario Maraschi (one of Giubbotto's sockpuppets) on the Back to Sleep (song) page:
They are both making the same edits as Mario Maraschi on the page, and were both created after he was blocked indefinitely. In addition, Colui che beve la colla vinilica says his name is Giovanni Muciaccia, which bares an uncanny resemblance to the names Giubbotto and Maraschi. And Just editing with a smile spelt the word irrelevant as "irrilevant", which is the exact same spelling that Mario Maraschi previously used for that same word. Is it possible to look into whether these two accounts are related to Giubbotto and Mario Maraschi? Thanks. Maestro2016 ( talk) 23:02, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
