An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mobyjaws56, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Query regarding other accounts[edit]

Hi, Mobyjaws56. My name is Tamzin, and I'm an administrator and sockpuppet investigations clerk here. I've asked a question at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mobyjaws56 regarding your interactions with a couple of other accounts. Please don't make any other edits until you've had a chance to respond there. Thanks. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 21:19, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tamzin, thanks for alerting me. I logged in today to see if there had been a response to the IP unblock request from colleague. Previously sparkles and Moby have identified ourselves as work colleagues and a COI disclosure made with Greyjoy for the Ian Darling page. Neither accounts are sock puppets or meat puppets of others.

There are other colleagues and non-associates in this building on the same wifi system, and it is for them the block lift is requested as currently our whole IPN is currently blocked.

We have not received any feedback from an administrator / admin person about our genuine request at the time of COI disclosure about how edits are made to BLP's in a way that wiki approves of - it does not make sense Sparkles and I are the only people on the planet making edit updates as work achievements and film publications take place, and realistically as Ian is not a celebrity randoms are unlikely to update it - but he is very well connected there are many who read his wiki page - we'd like it to be correct. Wiki is now a primary source for many people. Mobyjaws56 (talk) 02:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PS Due to the block I cannot actually reply to anyone on the SPI page you link to above. I would like to be super clear thought that Sparkles and Moby and Hugh something are all seperate individuals. Thank you : ) Mobyjaws56 (talk) 02:07, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RoySmith, I am unable to reply in the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mobyjaws56 page due to the block, so replying here to you, as I did to Tamzin above, is the only way I can respond. I would like to re-iterate that the IP block is a real annoyance to colleagues working in this building on our network, if the IP block could be lifted it would be appreciated.

I'd also like to reconfirm that the Sparkles user, myself (Moby) and Hugh something are different individuals. The declared COI to our employer is again outlined above, I would sincerely appreciate an Admin's feedback on how one manages the employer requested edits, which are merely factual updates, not trolling, abusive, or dereogatory to anyone. Thank you. Mobyjaws56 (talk) 05:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I note too, as I don't know what tracking wikipedia administrators are now carrying out when I am logged in, that I have had to do more reading to learn what some of the terms above are. A response would be appreciated, thanks - I am assuming we are in very different timezones when I see the timeless to commentary above. Mobyjaws56 (talk) 05:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith - drawing attention to replies, cheers. Mobyjaws56 (talk) 05:57, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A technical analysis indicates that the four accounts I blocked are almost certainly the same person. You are claiming that you are not, but at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mobyjaws56, you were asked by Tamzin to "please explain how you know each other and the nature of your involvement with the Ian Darling article" and you have failed to do so. Instead, you have made veiled references to "our employer" and "colleagues working in this building" which do not answer the question. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:41, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RoySmith I certainly have not intended to make veiled references, I want to be very clear there is not a sock or meat puppetry going on. In previous years I have been rebuked for identifying people, and so now have assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that admins would also just use a search engine to see our associations which are clearly laid out on our company website (shark island institute)in Sydney. I cannot however give you the names of the people in the building who hot desk and work on other documentaries. Sparkles is my colleague Alisha, I am Moby and Hugh is a hot desker in a development project. You or @Tamzin could take a look at our site perhaps?

Almost certainly, and certainly are not the same thing, and we are not the same person, I have one single wiki account and that is this one. Many thanks, Mary Mobyjaws56 (talk) 00:38, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Mobyjaws56 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Please see the ongoing conversation above. The accounts with name Sparkles, Moby and Hugh are not sock or meat puppet accounts. Moby (myself, Mary) and Sparkles (Alisha) are colleagues at Shark Island institute, a documentary firm based in Sydney (www.sharkisland.com.au) . Our Executive Director Ian Darling is an active domestic and International documentary film maker, highly regarded by his peers and member of many associations and documentary inititaives. We are often requested to make updates to his wiki entry, as (especially in America) Wiki seems to be the go to page for people to get information about him. We are required to keep his page updated so that when other organisations are taking onformation from wiki to write, for example, a blurb for a film festival, they have the correct information. Yes, I would prefer editors and writers just emailed us and asked for a blurb, but they don't, they draft it from wiki and then send it for approval.

What is more, the pages we update (Ian Darling and our films) are factual edits, we are not trolling other users, we do not make incorrect claims or falsify information on the pages we edit and we do not waste administrators time in creating pages that are not actually information that the Australian Documentary sector and others find useful.

I would appreciate an Admin to take the time to look at the company website and see the team, realise there are more than one person and account with an association to Ian and reconsider this permanent block. The accounts are not the same person, they are not making abusive edits, a COI has previously been declared and the accusation of meat or sock puppetry is incorrect.

Decline reason:

Note than an admin like me cannot lift this block unilaterally, as it is a checkuser block. Only a checkuser may authorize its removal. You say this is not meat puppetry, but then go on to say exactly what meat puppetry is.- different people at the same place doing the same thing. This is treated as sock puppetry because we don't know who is sitting on the other end of the computer operating any particular account. As such, this is indeed meat puppetry. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I would note outside the context of the block that it's not Mr. Darling's "wiki entry", but a Wikipedia article about him. Though his input is welcome, and we strive for it to be accurate, he has no special rights to it as the subject. We are not concerned with any requirements imposed upon you as his representative to edit it, or in any benefits to him the presence of an article about him here has. If others choose to use potentially inaccurate information to write about Mr. Darling, that's unfortunate but mainly something he needs to address with them. Just as we tell students and teachers that Wikipedia is not a reliable source and shouldn't be used for scholarly work, it shouldn't be used for media/organization inquiries, at least not without checking the sources used in the article itself. This probably sounds uncaring and bad, but we actually do want the article about him to properly summarize what independent reliable sources say about him- not what he wants to say about himself- and any suggestions in that regard should generally be done as edit requests on Talk:Ian Darling. We do have a strict biographies of living persons policy requiring articles about living people to be well sourced and accurate- but it needs to be done properly. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your note 331dot - the explanation re puppetry is a lot clearer in your terms than in the pages.Mobyjaws56 (talk) 02:23, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mobyjaws56 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My thanks to @331dot for the clarity in response, which has enabled me to better understand, in conjunction with further reading, the puppet allegation and how we have unwittingly behaved as such. I apologise, and understand any frustration earlier admins may have had with my written denials and pleas regarding sock and meat puppetry above. I have mistakenly engaged in correspondence about the two staff members without understanding the underlying demonstration of puppetry 331dot has pointed out.

While I continue to believe the edits made were in good faith, factual and non-damaging, I understand and apologise for the way in which the edits were undertaken with the COI in play. Please accept my request to be unblocked in the belief the block is no longer necessary due to the deeper understanding of the multiple accounts of two employees in the editing process.

I undertake not to engage in singular edits to Ian's page but to make such requests to the TALK page for that article, with the appropriate citations if required, and to continue making other contributions to the Australian Documentary entry pages where COI does not exist.

Further, I would like to reiterate that only two accounts from this IP address are in contention - Sparkles and Moby - my colleague (the Sparkles user) and I have made a COI to the page for Ian Darling (our employer) and commit to making edit requests through the TALK page if the block is lifted. I am unsure how I might further convince admins that we are indeed different people, not 4 accounts run by me, I have no information regarding the wiki technical analysis RoySmith refers to so cannot address that. I can say though, that if language style is a part of that then it would seem we are one and the same as the edit requests come from our employer, Ian. I can invite you again to view our company website where both my colleague Alisha and I can be identified along with Ian.

User-multi error: no username detected (help). Hi there, I am Mobyjaws56 and I did write the above after extensive reading about a block appeal - I am frustrated by the IP issue, as yes, we have an IP in the building obviously, and my account is blocked though I can still login - how do we resolve this 'real, not real' issue?
