Anthony Hudson page and sock puppetry

Hi Ponyo I see you did something in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Hudson_(footballer) page around sock puppetry. There is a bit of ongoing changes being made to the page and it appears the changes are being made on both sides one from people inside NZ Football to make this persons record look better and other from people that are a fan of the manager but are trying to make his record show how he is actual tracking with his manager record.

What change does the sock puppetry do? Can it stop some users making edits (Sorry I'm new to wiki editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yakcall (talk • contribs) 21:42, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Yakall: Many of the edits being made on that article were actually being made by a single person who had created multiple accounts against Wikipedia policy. This is what we call socking and it's why I protected the article briefly. The semi-protection prevents anonymous IPs and new users from editing the article directly in order to help prevent ongoing disruption. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:55, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

On this page again, NZwhiteout keeps removing a line that they see as unflattering to the person however the article is public knowledge and has actually run in national news paper and should stay there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.110.123 (talk) 08:21, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Please use the article talk page to discuss concerns you have with the article content.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:53, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo, what is the evidence that there was sock puppetry here? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.59.107 (talk) 11:12, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo! Please check the article created by me, if there's something wrong. Contreiras45 (talk) 20:23, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Contreiras45; there are some minor grammar fixes that could be made, but that can always be improved over time. I'll work on it a bit for you. Thank you for your contributions! --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:27, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. I don't write and not speak very well the English language. I'm using translation tools, to translate from Portuguese into English, and vice versa. Contreiras45 (talk) 20:35, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

I would like some advice

I am a new editor here on Wikipedia. I am hoping to contribute constructively the encyclopedia, so that we can help people out and improve Wikipedia for editors and non-editors alike. Since you have been on this site for around a decade now, I would really like to know how I could help out Wikipedia. I await your response. Thanks. --RockMusicFan 2002^| 16:34, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal

Those cases are regularly linked in the UK, due to the issue of fear of being branded as racists affecting police and local authority action in them. It seems odd to just link to a far more general grouping that includes cases from other countries and ones in the UK that do not have that common thread.

For example, see this BBC article http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28934963 with the relevant paragraph "Rotherham was not the only community in the North and the Midlands to have uncovered such abuse. There have also been arrests or prosecutions of groups of men in 11 towns and cities, including Oldham, Rochdale and Derby."

These cases as a whole created a huge scandal in the UK, as it stands the page does not reflect that, with only a link to the Rochdale case left, therefore I will revert back to my change.

More socks at Puthandu?

Hello my little pony. After I blocked Dipendra2007 for disruption and sock puppetry at Puthandu, see [1], three newly created accounts and some IPs, that you can see in the article history, have edited it in similar ways. The article is topical — the new year is today — so they're not necessarily all socks of Dipendra2007, but I would guess some of them are. Check, please? I've semi'd the article, but I still believe it's of interest, because if Dipendra is socking yet again, it's surely time for indef. Bishonen | talk 15:47, 14 April 2017 (UTC).

@Bishonen: Ponyo is on Easter holiday. I'm her poor substitute. I can't tell who Dipendra2007's sock was triggering the block. I also don't know which specific accounts you're suspicious of. So, I just picked the recent new accounts in the article history and checked them against Dipendra. That would include Tharun 0203, KJ sivakumar, and Prakash Balasubramaniyan. They are  Unrelated to Dipendra2007.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:57, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Those were the ones I meant, Bbb23. Thanks very much. Bishonen | talk 20:05, 14 April 2017 (UTC).

Category:Upcoming video games

I have a quick question if you are available. When a video game that has been in the"Upcoming video games" category has been released, how soon should the category be updated accordingly? I ask this because the"Upcoming video games scheduled for 2017" category has a good amount of articles in it for games that have since been released, some for about a month now, and nobody seems to be updating them. I understand that categories aren't a high priority, but it feels more like nobody is doing it at all. Sorry for any inconveniences this causes. (Chocolatejr9 (talk) 15:37, 16 April 2017 (UTC))

@Chocolatejr9: What I would do is add a line and a reliable source within the article that verifies the game has been released and then update the category accordingly.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

A quick question

Is this related to the user mentioned? RockMusicFan 2002 (talk) 9:25, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

I would suspect so, it's an odd edit to make otherwise. That being said, they were blocked at the time and no edits have been made from that IP since.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:24, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

User Pakistanpedia

Hi Ponyo - I see you have been off for several days - hope it is an enjoyable break, and nothing serious.
On 13 April you left this message at User talk:Pakistanpedia. That user has ignored your message and continued to promote ARY Digital - including creating several new, unsourced, articles such as Bewaqoofian to promote individual ARY programmes. - Arjayay (talk) 13:55, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

@Arjayay: There is no way this is not part of the same promotional and paid editing sockfarm I've tripped across again and again. Given that they completely ignored my explicit warnings to start communicating I have blocked the account. I expect they'll pop up again in short order, they always do.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:27, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the block, I know these TV promoters well - I have battled similar problems at Astro TV, MediaCorp and HUM TV in the past and now have one at GeoTV. I tried WP:AIV but was told it was not vandalism, I started Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ANASKHAN777 but that has just sat there.
As with User:Pakistanpedia, the promoters seem to be playing a slightly improved game, rather than just making promotional edits to their main pages, (Programme guides, unsourced "coming soon" additions, and information on the cost and content of TV packages) which are easily reverted, they start numerous articles on individual programmes. These articles are usually poorly referenced, or unreferenced, with promotional content and claims, but SPEEDY A7 does not cover TV programme (although some admins turn a blind oye), unless the promotional content is excessive allowing a claim of G11. Provided the promotional content can be removed, and references provided, I suppose it benefits the project, but it is hard work chasing them around and rewriting the stubs. - Arjayay (talk) 16:54, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Anyone working in these areas rife with promotion deserve unending baskets if kittens and beers, so thank you!--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

• The two users claim they are friends, not relatives. There is no page overlap between the two except in their userspace and one other editor's Talk page. I don't necessarily accept the friend claim based on my check, but, even if so, it's unacceptable. I've blocked Not-a-parted-haired-libertarian indefinitely and Mr.Election for one week. We'll see if he can behave.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:15, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Question: Is it OK to delete another editor's comments from my own Talk page?

Another editor and I often debate edits on various articles in the relevant Talk pages. Sometimes, he decides to scold me for edits I have made to an article and does so at User talk:Peter K Burian

Is there any obligation for me to retain such items on my own Talk page? Or is it ok if I delete them? I have already told the other editor to debate edits on the article's Talk page, not on my own Talk page.

What is the actual protocol in this regard? Thanks, Peter K Burian (talk) 17:57, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

@Peter K Burian: You are free to blank just about anything from your talk page - see WP:BLANKING. You may want to consider including a summary as to why you're removing it (e.g. "remove discussion more appropriate for article talk page") or something similar.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:02, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Commander1987

Hi Ponyo. While checking on some non-free images, I came across Draft:Commander1987. The creator User:Commander1987 has been indefinitely blocked as a sock account, so I wondering if this draft needs to be kept. I don't see it ever having a chance of becoming an article per WP:NOT. Sending it to MFD seems unnecessary, but perhaps speedy deletion is an option. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:21, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Padma

Hi P, any chance you could do a basic check for Padmalakshmisx socks, or is that so vague that an SPI needs to be set up? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:42, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb:, I don't see any new accounts since the March 8th SPI on their typical IP range. That being said, they do often resort to webhosts, so I would need a specific suspected account(s) to be certain.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:34, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Kannadigey is a possibility, with a user page that is identical to this and this. Lots of one word edit summaries that fit the general shape of Padma, and though he's been around since only April 9th, he seems aware of "POV" jargon (note edit summary). Padmala has edited at N. T. Rama Rao Jr.[2], so has Kannadigey[3]. I can look for more later if that's not enough. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:49, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ms. P. This guy is a sock of someone, but I'm not sure who yet and I don't have time at present to dig around, but I thought I'd drop the seed of inspiration...

• Exasperated edit summaries
• Full mastery of citations despite being a six-day-old account.
• Lots of mobile edits.
• Lots of "box office" summaries.
• Mix of Indian and US films.

The reasonable money is on Joseph Fanai per the edit summaries here. If you get a chance to look at it, sweet. If not, I'll try to dig up more dirt later. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

...aaand blocked.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:06, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Seems neverending but this reversion is questionable, given the crappy POV it restores. User has a fair amount of pissy edit summaries, and happens to go way back to 2008. I don't see the Indian intersection, and overall I can't say I have a very strong feeling about this one, but it is a suspicious reversion. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:40, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: I don't think there's enough overlap to consider running a CU. They seem to more of an SPA with a long-term interest in a very limited set of articles.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:44, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks boss! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:47, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Maybe a sock, but

I still felt compelled to restore most of their edits [4] to this film. The fact is their additions were fixing bad grammar, as well as adding up to date content written more or less how I would have written it. It felt a lot easier than writing basically the same thing myself in a few days. If you still wish to remove it per WP:DENY I won't stop you. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 18:22, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Vanamonde93: If you can verify the content (including that the sources used in the "Release" section actually support the material added) then you can restore the material. Note that by doing so you are taking responsibility for its accuracy.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:34, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, the content checks out. Like I said, I'd come across it elsewhere (on the BBC, in fact) just earlier in the day. Vanamonde (talk) 04:35, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Cptmrmcmillan (talk) 19:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Cptmrmcmillan: Are flags not used in settlement infoboxes? Or are your bringing this to my attention as its recurrent behaviour that has led to previous blocks?--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:52, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Needs to be blocked. He's dropping random flags onto pages (more than 100 so far) that have nothing to do with the article, e.g. a town in Kenya may get a US Department of Energy flag. The vandalism bots will probably catch this, but that tags the talk page with a "needs to be checked" message. Thanks Cptmrmcmillan (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

For this [5]. This could make an impressive SPI; it began at least in the fall of last year with edits to Idaho schools and drum-related articles. On occasion the user follows and reverts my edits. Some of the accounts can be gleaned from this edit history [6]. But you may already be up on all this. Cheers, 2601:188:180:11F0:D0A6:5E03:5171:548F (talk) 00:13, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm certain they're popping all the time--I'll forget for months, then find an edit from one of dozens of the block evasion accounts. The first ones I encountered hailed from the University of Idaho, so that's probably still home base. Mostly I'd like to get the most commonly disrupted articles on the radar/watchlists of several administrators. It's fairly easy, if time-consuming, to follow the multiple trails from there.

Poorna

Poorna: Courage Has No Limit has been deleted because it was created by a banned user. However, I was the one who initially created the page as Poorna (film) and I am not a banned user. I assume the banned user moved it to its Poorna: Courage Has No Limit name. I think the whole article should not be erased when I actually was the one that created it originally. Can't it just be moved back to version I created? I typically just edit and do not involve myself in the administrative bits of Wikipedia so I have no idea how this works. Yamada Taro (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

@Yamada Taro: The article has been moved from various titles and somehow was caught up in my deletion of similar articles.

I only vaguely know how rangeblocks work, but it was worth a shot. Though maybe it's better not. I'm doing a search in my watchlist of 2600:1000:B0, and finding other articles they've been editing. I'm undoing that damage too. If they edited one or two articles occasionally, they would probably not be noticed. But they just can't seem to help themselves.

Football at the 2017 Summer Universiade

I would like to create a new page for "Football at the 2017 Summer Universiade", because the draw for the team sports had already come out on May 11, 2017, according to the FISU official website. So can you reopen this page? WE WANT TO CREATE THIS PAGE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Younis7435 (talk • contribs)

@Younis7435: The page isn't protected, there should be no issue with you creating the article.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:23, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Block evader...

Not sure if you want to issue a block here as well - this IP appears to be in the same group as the others. Home Lander (talk) 22:59, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

I saw it but they'd already cycled to a new IP. The semi-protection should help.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:01, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Good enough, thanks. Home Lander (talk) 23:03, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Wayne Allwine

Could this page be blocked as well? As I suspected, they are posting there about the changes they cannot make on the article page. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Opposites Attract ‖ 22:04, 15 May 2017 (UTC)`

Look what's back...

Draft:Graduation... CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 23:44, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Yikes. Official steps after graduation!?!? I think I stumbled before I could take the first one. Please Note: This post is an attempt at humor. It could be moved to WP:BJAODN except for the fact that it isn't funny enough. MarnetteD|Talk 01:22, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Good Lord. I've applied a bit of IAR and deleted it again. I have a feeling they think it's all a bit of fun, but an individual's personal essay and musings regarding post-graduation are not encyclopedic and that draft has zero chance of making it through an AfD or MfD.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:02, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Biographical source question

Hi, Ponyo. Does this source adhere to WP:BLP? It seems so to me, but I thought I'd ask before adding it because of recent debates. Franzboas (talk) 16:28, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

@Franzboas: I would say that's a good source as it demonstrates the importance of Soloway's religion with regard to her life and works (meeting the "defining characteristic" requirement) in her own words (self-identification).--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:41, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Great, thanks. Franzboas (talk) 16:49, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Acbraughlerauthor

Hi Ponyo! It's a pleasure as usual to run into you once again ;-). I saw that you revoked talk page access from Acbraughlerauthor - was there a specific reason for this? Just making sure I'm not missing something that I should have caught ;-). Thanks - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:28, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

*Sigh*, neeeeeverrrrmiiiiiinnnnddd...... I just now noticed this... lol ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:47, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

That was indeed the show stopper. There's venting and then there's using the unblock template to attack others.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:10, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Sandbox

Hello! Could you take a moment and check my talk page discussion? I would like to have my material back. NocteAnime (talk) 15:38, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I've replied at your talk page.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:11, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Please don't report me to the checkuser goon squad

We'll look the other way. This time. ;) To be honest, though, the first CU should have recognized the account for what it is. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:06, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Sock?

I indeffed Masoomulla in March, after they had been doing literally nothing but promoting Makau W. Mutua ‎in 8 [sic] years of editing. Is the new editor Barack Muluka the same person? Young Bbb23, it seems Ponyo is away for a few days, hint hint. Bishonen | talk 19:31, 19 May 2017 (UTC).

@Bishonen: The new account is  Unrelated. There's a small possibility that the person moved from one continent to another based on some of the technical details, but you'd be hard put to block based on the technical evidence.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:54, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Cool, thank you, Beeb. Bishonen | talk 19:59, 19 May 2017 (UTC).
