An old friend might be back

You may have useful input at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Soccermeko.—Kww(talk) 02:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I feel stupid

This is the first time I've been on wikipedia when I'm not tired, stressed, or otherwise mentaly incapacitated. And lo! I get the reference in your name now!Drew Smith What I've done 10:22, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

User:Hoopy1

Hi Kurt Shaped Box. I noticed you blocked User:Hoopy1 from editing. I feel this user may have been inappropriately warned - see talk page. The final warning on their talk page was given in April of 2008. Perhaps another warning instead of a block may have been more fair. Just saying... -FASTILY ^(TALK) 02:54, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I had a look through his contribs before I blocked - they're all vandalism. He was attacking that Ahmad person in his edits a year ago and he was doing the same thing tonight. FWIW, I don't think that we really need to keep long-term intermittent vandals like this around for any longer than it takes to detect them.... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 03:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

IP block

Thanks for the block on 76.161.111.218. Of course, the Network is coming after you next... Drmies (talk) 01:56, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

So, what's the story with these guys/one guy with access to various networks? Is there a Long Term Abuse page? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 01:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I don't know. It sounded like what the little Greek boys on the Alabama campus might have hollered--nothing to worry about, just irritating, this conspiracy chatter. Then again, you never know... Seriously, is there a story? Drmies (talk) 02:02, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

BTW, if you are in a vandal-fighting mood, there's also IPs 70.71.166.217 and 24.94.7.135, for your consideration! Drmies (talk) 02:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Both blocked. As for the Network guy(s) - I seem to remember encountering him/them a few months back but I forget where now... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 02:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! So there is a story. I'll keep my eyes open, and I'll keep your funky (and cool) username in mind. Drmies (talk) 03:37, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

User created anybot article issue

This article was created by anybot's owner, but, from the text it is one he created from material gathered by the bot, just the article was posted by the bot owner, not the bot. It probably has the same problems as the rest of anybot's edits. But I'm not sure you should just delete it because of the creator in the edit history. Maybe you could ask plant editors to check it, or something?

• Bossiella: (1 edits, 1 major, +144) (+144)

I post it here, removed from the list. --69.226.103.13 (talk) 20:43, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Hasn't stumped me, I just don't have time to check. I'm keeping redirects that I can reference, or that are really common. It's 10X as much work checking on the bot's edits as to do them correctly in the first place. Still, for some reason I did not want to just delete this article, so thanks for posting at plants, also the few up on top with notes should be added there. I'll add them. --69.226.103.13 (talk) 02:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
