Hi BBB23

Hi, can you delete Joker (character) per the updated changes at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics) and move Joker (comics) to Joker (character) please? I can move but I can't delete. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 20:42, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Or say no so I know you're not going to so I can ask someone else. Courtesy man. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 21:35, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

@Darkwarriorblake: My apologies. I'm not good at this stuff, so I was hoping one of my Talk page watchers would have done it if it was appropriate.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:44, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Fair enough, thanks for getting back to me. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 22:03, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation of already blocked IP

Hello Bbb23,

After reading your comment I just wanted to clarify that this was my first such allegation, and it apparently took me so long to read the guide and create the diffs that it was all over by the time I created my request for the investigation. I will keep in mind to check a second time, before submitting another such request. Best regards. Lklundin (talk) 17:52, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

@Lklundin: That's nice of you, but what you did happens all the time; nothing wrong with it.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:54, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Likely return of banned sockpuppet

Hi, This user User:FreeTaiwan looks like the latest version of banned user User:Kumasojin 熊襲, sharing similar interest in Altaic, Ryukyuan topics, DNA, Austria etc, has returned to edit warring in Ryukyuan religion (User:X Aterui x [1] is a confirmed sock of User:Kumasojin 熊襲) and also appears to be rather sophisticated for a new user. Can you check if this user is a sock? Thanks, Fraenir (talk) 23:36, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, i think this is a irrational claim. I am no sockpuppet nor do i share interests in altai, ryukyu or austria. Where is a edit war at ryukyuan religions please? Maybe you mean ryukyuan people, but there i made a mistake as you can see on talkpage. And what do you mean with sophisticated? Must a new user be stupid or helpless? Sorry but i do not understand you claim at all.FreeTaiwan (talk) 00:18, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

• @Fraenir:  Confirmed, blocked and tagged. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:50, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

This user is back, currently editing at this IP [2] Fraenir (talk) 02:58, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppets

Hello! I'd like to bring your kind attention to [3] by user:Utk2 and this [4] by user:Akshay23sep where both editors are making the same edits and removing sourced information. These accounts seem to me SPA and there may be canvassing outside Wikipedia. I am unable to open a SPI case so can you please check? Thank you. --45.123.13.164 (talk) 09:12, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Here is another evidence[5] where user:Utk2 again removing sourced information done by user:Akshay23sep. --45.123.13.164 (talk) 09:25, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! I've just re-added an image you removed as being a probable copyvio. Feel free to tag it for deletion after providing support for the copyvio claim - I have no problems with that. Cheers! Jon Kolbert (talk) 16:01, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Removed SPI report

You removed a report I filed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rajeevkr224 & requested it be refiled at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Authorincharge. Fair enough - but pedantry cuts both ways.

When GeneralizationsAreBad moved the report to Authorincharge, and Rajeevkr224 was supplanted as master, Rajeevkr224 was not added to the list of socks. Even though Rajeevkr224 has been blocked it wasn't for puppetry or anything to do with the SPI case, but for copyright violations. Rajeevkr224 still hasn't been tagged as a puppet.

Had Rajeevkr224 been tagged as a puppet of Authorincharge I'd have logged Authorincharge as the master for my report and this would not have arisen.

As my report indicated, I can tie Rajeevkr224 to Rajeev224kr & to Heart of India. There's nothing I can see to tie them to Authorincharge. If someone wants to finish up the move and tagging properly then I'll play along. Until then, I'm not making a report I can't defend at Authorincharge. Cabayi (talk) 20:44, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Sergio Lamensa

Irvicelli (talk) 02:02, 18 April 2017 (UTC)could you please give me the text that you delete? This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference. 01:05, 18 April 2017 Bbb23 (talk | contribs) deleted page Sergio Lamensa (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)Irvicelli (talk) 02:02, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

The article is now in your userspace: User:Irvicelli/Sergio Lamensa. After working on the article, I strongly urge you to submit it for review by experienced editors rather than moving it directly to article space where it runs the risk of being tagged and deleted again.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:28, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Just wondering

Is poor English is a problem rather than the content? Just wondering since your sudden revert in Zakir Naik article with that edit summary seems harsh to me. Night Lantern (talk) 13:22, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

A combination. If I had thought the content was more important, I would have fixed it. I know of no way to say another editor's English is not good without being mildly offensive. Having subpar English says nothing about a person's intelligence and may not be a problem in their real lives, but on Wikipedia it can be a problem when creating content. I don't mean it to sound "harsh", just plain speaking.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:33, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Alright. I will refrain myself from editing such articles about controversial people from now on. I take your words as a reminder. Thanks btw. Night Lantern (talk) 13:41, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Recent block of Whydah Pirate Museum Docent...

Nothing in the account's editing history points to the blockable editing that has been happening exclusively re: Passover article edits. In my opinion, their entire editing interests, editing style and attitude have completely changed. I am most concerned that the account has previously (in its previous/former incarnation) openly connected itself to a living person... Perhaps the account is completely blockable on naming grounds because it is a named account connected with a business, the "Whydah Pirate Museum" at http://www.discoverpirates.com. Shearonink (talk) 17:25, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Actually, there are similarities. He was approached by Huon for adding unsourced material to articles, and his reaction was aggressive and inflammatory. Plus, he was clearly spamming the museum itself, which is hardly something an editor should be doing. If his username didn't have "Docent" attached to it, I could indefinitely hard-block the account, but it gets a little dicier with the username he chose. Perhaps other administrators would be less lenient. I must confess that I almost blocked him indefinitely as NOTHERE, but I decided that was too big a leap. If he persists, though, after the block expires, that's where he's headed. Given his sporadic history, there's also a good chance he won't be back for many months.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:40, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

I guess I had been thinking that all his other edits had mostly to do with the Whydah but now I see there were some interesting edits to Zircon - nothing about THE TRUE DATE OF PASSOVER. That previous reaction was aggressive. The whole thing just seems...well, how about interesting - to veer between pirate articles and creationism/religion interests.

Topic banned editor logging out = IP editing?

Sorry to bother you with this, but I have noticed a pattern.

User:Xtremedood was indefinitely topic 9 December 2016 from, "Religion, broadly construed; India and Pakistan, broadly construed".[6]

I noticed on List of converts to Christianity from Islam that IP 156.223.200.214has done mass deletion of information;

• 09:51, 16 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (-6,058)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (→‎M) (Tag: section blanking)
• 09:50, 16 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (-2,318)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (→‎D) (Tag: section blanking)
• 09:50, 16 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (-5,954)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (→‎C) (Tag: section blanking)
• 09:50, 16 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (-7,071)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (→‎B) (Tag: section blanking)
• 09:49, 16 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (-8,814)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (→‎A) (Tags: section blanking, blanking)

Whereas 156.223.49.53 uses similar wording and nominated the article for deletion;

• 15:58, 17 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (-12)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (This list may be inaccurate and has questionable references. It contains a lot of conjectures, bias, and has discriminatory references.)
• 15:57, 17 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (-13)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (This list may be inaccurate and has questionable references. It contains a lot of conjectures, bias, and has discriminatory references.)
• 15:54, 17 April 2017 (diff | hist) . . (+60)‎ . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam ‎ (This list may be inaccurate and has questionable references. It contains a lot of conjectures, bias, and has discriminatory references.)

Nominated List of converts to Christianity from Islam for deletion.[7]

Oddly enough, Xtremedood also has done mass deletion of information from this article:

• 06:39, 28 October 2016 (diff | hist) . . (-3,537) . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam (Undid revision 746571818 by Jobas (talk) sources do not indicate that.)
• 06:28, 28 October 2016 (diff | hist) . . (-3,537) . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam (Undid revision 746571428 by Jobas (talk) no you did not)
• 06:27, 28 October 2016 (diff | hist) . . (-3,752) . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam (sources do not indicate a conversion from Islam or weak source ie "blogspot")
• 06:21, 28 October 2016 (diff | hist) . . (-3,387) . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam (sources do not indicate a conversion from Islam)
• 06:12, 28 October 2016 (diff | hist) . . (-6,118) . . List of converts to Christianity from Islam (sources do not indicate a conversion from Islam)

AND, Xtremedood has nominated an article for deletion as well. Probably not a coincidence.

Since you handle sockpuppet cases, I was curious if you thought the edits of the IPs would be considered duck, and that the IPs are actually Xtremedood violating their topic ban by editing logged out. Your thoughts? --Kansas Bear (talk) 05:26, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

As a CheckUser, I can't comment.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:09, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

POTUS

The POTUS is the most powerful person on the planet. Business Insider, Forbes even some of the links to the information support this and these are based on measurements. Redom115 (talk) 23:53, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Make your case at the article Talk page, not here. From your edit history, this isn't the first time you've edit-warred with other editors about who's the most powerful whatever. I'm surprised you haven't been blocked so far. Your edits are disruptive.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

In reference to the block you placed on Special:Contributions/108.52.100.147

You blocked Special:Contributions/108.52.100.147. Please refer to the back and forth I had with him over the last two days, User talk:108.52.100.147 I have been making infobox changes across the articles of Article III United States judges, working backward from Obama appointees, a project I started in late January of this year. The user was inadvertantly, reverting some of the articles from appointer back to nominator, a position which was incorrect for reasons I explained on the IP's userpage. I notice the IP was a bit too aggressive in following my guidance. Given that he was following what I suggested to him, his initial changes were not disruptive, though he might have improperly reverted you on one or more edits. In telling him what I did, I didn't intend to get him temporarily blocked. While it is your call, perhaps you could at least cut down the length of the block a bit. I will explain to the IP what the deal was and tell him to back off on his over enthusiastic editing. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 02:53, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppets

Hello, The account User:Dr_Thaane_Wala and blocked users Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Randikasyap/Archive edits are same as blanking page here from User:Dr_Thaane_Wala and here from User:Mahul kashyap which is push me to inform you here coz im unable to create SPI, Pls have a look if they are related to each other, Thanks --119.30.38.226 (talk) 09:44, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Actually, an IP can create an SPI. You need to look at the instructions at WP:SPI as it's a little different than the usual for a registered account. However, no need, you're correct and Dr Thaane Wala is now blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:40, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

hi i am user:Dr Thaane Wala i bought a second hand mobile, so idk about previous accountsDr Thaane Wala (talk) 13:59, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Starcitizen socks

Hey Bbb23, would you be willing to look at these two users as possible socks for Renamed user nnnnnnnnnn/Nobeaches? The focus on Star Citizen and the frequent marking of most edits as minor are hallmark behaviors, but the article has been canvassed on reddit before. -- ferret (talk) 17:09, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

@Ferret: You know, I had been checking new accounts at that article until a little over a month ago. However, because they were always  Unrelated, I stopped. Nonetheless, I checked these two, and they continue the same theme: unrelated.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:49, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, appreciated. -- ferret (talk) 17:54, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Maurerkopf

I'm assuming that User:DKJIAJNEIF is a sock of User:Wali-e-Mewat Raja Khanzada Akleem Khan, Bahadur. Can you take a look at this page and the users? Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 22:08, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Also there was some editing invoving a suicide hotline? 173.13.189.193 may be the IP they're using, as it's the commenting IP on Talk:Maurerkopf. Thanks again for your time and endless assistance. Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 22:11, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

The two named accounts are  Confirmed, blocked, and tagged. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:53, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

No, thank YOU. Next time I'll go to WP:SPI rather than bother you here, but their vandalism and socking was so bad I had to go to you direct this time. Have a nice day/evening. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 23:02, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
