Moneytrees' Money Tree, day one

Possible sockpuppetry

Hello, Moneytrees. It is possible that Madame Necker (talk · contribs) (a WP:NOTHERE troll that you indef blocked some months ago) is back, this time as Cssdixieland (talk · contribs), judging by this comment, which Cssdixieland posted as a brand new account, praising an earlier post of Madame Necker. — Sundostund mppria ^{(talk / contribs)} 21:38, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Mister Sundostund, Your dilligence in trying to unmask old Wikipedia editors who may be posing as new ones is laudable, but it fails in one important detail: the supposed 'brand new account' is not really new. CSS Dixieland is an old account, nothing less that from the year 2012, starting in Wikitravel. When Wikivoyage forked from Wikitravel, all content existing in Wikitravel was copied to Wikivoyage (the licence permits that copy), including content written by CSS Dixieland. Then Wikivoyage was made one of the official projects of the Wikimedia Foundation. CSS Dixieland is still the name registered in Wikitravel, until today.

In Wikivoyage and Wikipedia, however, the name has recently needed to be changed to the simpler one of cssdixieland (rendered as 'Cssdixieland' by the Mediawiki software), because the old name CSS Dixieland contains four capital (upper case) letters and one space, presenting problems when using command-line tools. In Linux, for example, it needs to be surrounded by double speech marks. Thus the change from the name CSS Dixieland to the name cssdixieland (or 'Cssdixieland') has had to be requested. The change has been granted by one Administrator of Wikipedia and another of Wikivoyage. Similar change has not been requested in Wikitravel yet, there the name still is the old one, CSS Dixieland.

Thanks for Your efforts in policing Wikipedia, Sir, we certainly need some level of control, or our wiki might become the target of various kinds of undesirable persons. Like any other wiki, but especially Wikipedia, being as it is the biggest wiki currently existing in Internet. I do not know who is Madame Necker (in History, Monsieur Necker was an important Minister of Finances of the French Government, immediately before the French Revolution of 1789), but I found her comment in favour of the Confederate States of America relevant to the subject being discussed, and I copied part of her words verbatim.

You inform that Madame Necker was blocked months ago. I do not know the reason, or how justified the blocking was, but blocked or not, if I consider a contribution to be valuable then I praise it, or also I quote it.

Receive, Sir, a Strong Confederate Salute. Cssdixieland (talk) 22:46, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sundostund Hmm, I don't actually think Cssdixieland is a sock of Mme Necker (I would've pegged Beaneater00 instead) but I've blocked them because I don't see them having a productive future here. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 17:08, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I would say that your pick of Beaneater00 as a sockmaster is more probable than my first thought about Mme Necker. Anyway, your decision to block this WP:NOTHERE troll is more than correct and justified. — Sundostund mppria ^{(talk / contribs)} 23:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

And, I almost forgot – do you think that Cssdixieland's user page should stay as it is now (as they created it, before being blocked), or should it be deleted (or tagged somehow, with its content removed)? — Sundostund mppria ^{(talk / contribs)} 19:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sundostund I'm not sure what deletion criteria it would fall under; I think it's best just ignored. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 01:29, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Copyright

Hello @Moneytrees I hope you're doing well. Can you do the revdel Baalveer 3. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 16:07, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

@C1K98V I've now revision deleted this, in the future you should use a revdel template instead of a Copyright Problem one. User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel fills out revdel templates quickly. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 16:49, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Yeah sure, will do the needful the next time. Thanks for the quick response C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 16:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Barrister Babu you missed the episode 31 summary. See voot, you can check the Earwig tool for copyvio percentage, also do a revdel again. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 17:03, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Done. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 17:05, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Block of AndewNguyen

Not sure if you were having a bad day/moment, but it seems to me that the said block is pretty egregiously inappropriate. I am willing to admit I'm wrong if I missed something, but AndewNguyen is about the furthest thing from an SPA. On top of that, his last edits prior to this week were in September of 2022! I realize you two are on different sides of the same debate, but AndewNguyen certainly contributes positively to wikipedia, and rarely even makes edits to article mainspace - he always discusses his edits on TALK first. So I just don't see the reason for the block. I wanted to approach you first before taking this elsewhere. Thank you. 2600:1700:1250:6D80:947A:51E4:EB45:1FB4 (talk) 23:05, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

• I am reverting this, as it appears to be a blatant case of admin overreach against an ideological opponent. I will take no further action in this, and I implore you to seek input from other admins before taking further action. See user's talkpage for my rationale. --dab (𒁳) 10:21, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
