Hi, thanks for the run, but I think it fell over mid way and only did half the queries. Any chance of another, perhaps more complete run? Ϣere SpielChequers 00:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looking into things, it appears it completed the full run. I can do another one for you, but would like to diagnose any issues before I start it again. Could you point out the issue? -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 22:02, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes about half the queries were not run, including pubic and staring. Ϣere SpielChequers 01:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember seeing any errors last time. I've set it to run again, and log the output to a file for later reading if there seems to be an issue again. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 20:13, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DQ that run stopped after 18 queries, and the previous one after 16. the good news is that they were different queries so if you keep running it we will eventually get a full run. My suspicion is that labs has some limit that the program reached. Ϣere SpielChequers 09:43, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Despite what other sources say, this is still TS. It's been having several issues coping with the increased load (not by me) and the internet failing. If I read correctly, I think that is the issue. It's probably time I do a full run from labs. You ok with a full run now? -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 09:47, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go ahead. Ϣere SpielChequers 09:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, she's running now. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 10:39, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, the extension to template space is now working well, thanks for that improvement. But it stopped after 20 queries, that's certainly enough to keep me busy for a day or two, but it is still only running a few queries per run. Ϣere SpielChequers 13:09, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DQ ready when you are for the next run. If it is now limited to about twenty queries per run, would it be possible to up the maximum size of each exception report from 50 to 100? Ϣere SpielChequers 11:10, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The limit given by the software is 100, and I still don't know what it's catching on. I'll watch it now as I launch it for another run. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 15:09, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that run went OK thanks, ready for the next weekly one tomorrow or whenever suits you. I think there is something in the software that limits each query to fifty articles listed, perhaps 100 is the maximum number of queries? Ϣere SpielChequers 21:34, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hi DQ, any chance of a run in time for this weekend? Ϣere SpielChequers 15:17, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hi DQ, whenever you are ready and it is convenient for you. Cheers Ϣere SpielChequers 21:40, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks DQ. Done those and ready when you are for the next one. Ϣere SpielChequers 20:50, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi DQ, any chance of a run for this weekend? Ϣere SpielChequers 06:48, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ready when you are! Ϣere SpielChequers 10:32, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks DQ, ready for this weeks run. Ϣere SpielChequers 22:58, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - BTW any chance of shifting from the current cap of 50 exceptions per query to say 100? Ϣere SpielChequers 05:43, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi, noticed you around earlier on. If you do have time to unleash your bot it would be appreciated. Thanks. Ϣere SpielChequers 21:40, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi, ready when you are! Ϣere SpielChequers 20:44, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi DQ, ready again. Ϣere SpielChequers 23:02, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi DQ ready when you are. Ϣere SpielChequers 16:08, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi DQ, hope all is well. Any chance of a poop patrol run sometime? Ϣere SpielChequers 16:42, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Hey WSC. Yep I can run one hopefully soon, but with my summer off, I've forgotten how to login to my tools on toolslab :/ I'll be poking around to see if I can find a solution soon. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 21:49, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi DQ, hope you enjoyed your summer off and glad to hear you use "safe" passwords:) Ϣere SpielChequers 06:15, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ta muchly for that last run, now ready for the next one. Ϣere SpielChequers 23:11, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back! Ϣere SpielChequers 21:59, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, do we have a problem with labs? the last run stopped after just 4 tests Ϣere SpielChequers 13:36, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently yours wasn't the only program of mine that had a network failure that crashed the script. I'll run 'er up again tomorrow. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 05:54, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks DQ. Ϣere SpielChequers 09:30, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DQ, how is the network problem going? Ϣere SpielChequers 22:46, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Troll sock series

Hi DeltaQuad, I suppose you are aware of the series of troll socks that have been out for User:Werieth recently, starting with Request Denied Forever (talk · contribs), then Arnhem 96 (talk · contribs) and Formal Appointee Number 6 (talk · contribs). When you blocked the first of this series the other day [1], you said there was a "relation to another account (CU based)". Does that mean you have CU evidence linking the troll socks to a specific, currently active sockmaster account? I'm asking because, in that case, given the persistence of the sockpuppeting and block evasion as well as the impression of a wiki-hounding agenda, it might be time to impose sanctions on the sockmaster account too, don't you think? Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:29, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We can add On the top and under the line (talk · contribs) to the list. Can we get a checkuser done to block any other sleepers and the underlying IP address(es)? Werieth (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know who the actual sockmaster is (as I think these aren't all the accounts) and that is why there has been no particular action against them. I used my administrative discretion at the time to block whoever the first account was, there was no checkuser basis at that time. That said, here is the active list of accounts:

Confirmed:

Arnhem 96 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
Rabbit Massacre (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
Request Denied In Perpetuity (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
Request Denied Forever (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

Confirmed,

Likely to the above:

On the top and under the line (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
Rush the stage (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
Formal Appointee Number 6 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

At this time, a IP block does not appear it will be efficient. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 13:23, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at several of those accounts myself, my thoughts on these accounts are in line with yours, DQ. —DoRD (talk) 15:45, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

he is back HTI 483 (talk · contribs), can we please start rev deling the harassment? Werieth (talk) 17:25, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked an additional account. And the Revision Delete policy does not allow for deleting the content. You may wish to request and edit filter. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 17:43, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldnt G2 or G3 which are often applied to disruptive/harassing vandals apply? Werieth (talk) 17:49, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Attempting to make a case for "Wereith = Betacommand" is neither grossly degrading/insulting/offensive (RD2) nor purely disruptive (RD3). It may very well be a wrong conclusion, and using socks to argue the case is definitely going about it the wrong way, but I agree with DQ that it doesn't fit within the limited confines of what we're permitted to revision delete.

(talk page stalker) Is there any merit to the allegation? — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:02, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the place, nor will I entertain the merit of something like this from someone's very obvious sock. They can come out of the closet, then, I will consider looking at it. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 02:30, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:WikiJaguar Ribbon Small.png

File:WikiJaguar Ribbon Small.png, which had previously been listed at WP:RIB seems to have been edited per CSD G7 (Single author request deletion). Is there any more information available about this deletion before I begin the Undeletion process? Achowat (talk) 07:04, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I know of. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 13:28, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little new at getting things to be no longer deleted. Would you say this (a sole author requests deletion of a useful image) is more the purview of WP:DRV or WP:UND? Achowat (talk) 14:24, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely a WP:UND, but I don't see any issue with me undeleting it here if you wish. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 17:15, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't mind, it'll save me the time. Thanks! Achowat (talk) 09:12, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Curiosity

Out of curiosity, why were the accounts on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Stern_review banned? I had been watching one and their edits seemed constructive, as did many of the other socks. Just curious. EvergreenFir (talk) 02:37, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They were indefinitely blocked. It was due to the violation of several sections of the sockpuppetry policy. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 17:20, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Also note that based on the ANI discussion it was apparent that some of the articles created contained incorrect information. It was disruption on a very wide scale.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 17:50, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
