Do you hear any quacking?

? Thanks, GAB^gab 22:15, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

I do indeed. Favonian (talk) 05:33, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Krajoyn sock?

User Hornetex restoring Ectegrap/Krajoyn sock edits. --Kansas Bear (talk) 05:16, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, that's him. Blocked. Favonian (talk) 15:42, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you sir. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:22, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks

• Hello. there... You have been helping me with this 'WHAT' guy..lol. I must have really pissed him off. The only issues I've had recently, was with a 16 year old boy from Germany calling himself: "The Ultimate Boss", now he is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BlueJoshua300 Perhaps he is doing a sock puppet revenge thing. Sorry for the hassle my friend. Perhaps if these IP addresses are from Germany, you will put two and two together. I hope it's not him. I have no clue why all the hate. Oh well...thanks again.→ Pocketthis (talk) 21:09, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

@Pocketthis: The two blocked vandals could be the same as the account you refer to, but the evidence is a bit thin. Apart from a certain dislike for you, the only overlap is the Dawn article, but their edits are completely different. Only a CheckUser (which I'm not) can unearth the connection, if any, and they usually require stronger evidence before unsheathing their mighty tools. For now, it looks like the suspect is going on WikiBreak, so we may have to wait a bit for further development. Favonian (talk) 10:16, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

• Whoever it is, has been trying to log into my username. So far, 4 failed attempts. Put all this together with the childishness of it all, and it would lean toward an adolescent. That's why I thought about the person mentioned above. I thought I gave him pretty good advice on the Twilight talk page, after he was tweaking the sky articles daily. He said he would stop, and then the very next day he was back. I then went to his talk page, and got tougher with him, as his insolence continued, and I could see that he had authority figure issues. He is a smart kid. Maybe too smart...lol. Thanks for your efforts.→ Pocketthis (talk) 15:26, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Fawcett baronets

Hello, I see that you deleted the above page a couple of times. The person who keeps trying to "create" this fake baronetcy does seems to be oddly persistent (see my reverts at List of baronetcies in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom: F), including unrelated London Gazette refs to make it seem like its sourced. The only connected account I can see as a non-admin is [1] which you blocked for sock puppetry. Could you provide some context as to who this is, or what the original account is? –72 _(talk) 09:22, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Oh yes! The wannabe peer, Baronofashford (talk · contribs), has been around for a long time. I've blocked one account and one, apparently static, IP. Favonian (talk) 09:29, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks very much – nice to be able to see a list of connected accounts! Really very strange considering the years spent on all of this... –72 _(talk) 09:36, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Cocainaenvenenada

Hello. Thanks for protecting Las Acevedo, but would you mind protecting Ezili Dantor and The Weather Smells Like Oranges too? See page history of the articles for why. Cheers, - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 11:14, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 Done. Favonian (talk) 11:17, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. Ogando seems to have spent most of the past 24 hours trying to get his name into Wikipedia... - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 11:27, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Look familiar?

Hi, self explanatory probably In ictu oculi (talk) 07:19, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/77.77.216.185 ...

... who you just removed TPA from is yet another sock of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bosnipedian operating on a frequently used range (see the latest report in the SPI, where the whole 77.77.216.0/24-range was rangeblocked for a month). They also edited as Special:Contributions/77.77.216.183 a couple of days ago, so may I suggest another rangeblock? - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 19:17, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Quite so. Off again, this time for three months. Favonian (talk) 19:19, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

RollingWhitmore appears to be another HC sock, pushing the same tired old trope that Japan declared war before Pear Harbor. [2] Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:06, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: I rate it  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) and perform the ancient Wikipedia rope trick. Favonian (talk) 18:03, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

OK, sounds like a plan. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:32, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

(tps) Nah, that's him alright. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 19:36, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

50.207.48.154? Comment

Hullo. Just curious, how did you identify that IP as coming from a school when I get a different listing (cable company) via whois? Again, just curious. Ifnord (talk) 18:42, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

I got the host name from this lookup, and then it was a simple matter to identify the name of the school. Favonian (talk) 18:44, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank-you for sharing. Ifnord (talk) 20:08, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

146.198.31.68 (aka 146.198.31.73 ??)

Hi Favonian ..think this is another instance of our friend 146.198.31.73 and 146.198.27.192 editing Leicester with no edit reason. He's mostly concentrated on Leicester Urban Area Regards JRPG (talk) 11:03, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

@JRPG: I've upped the ante a bit by putting in place two range-blocks. Should at least make this person's career more complicated. Favonian (talk) 17:02, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Favonian. No idea of the psychology behind this behaviour though he wastes a lot of people's time. Regards JRPG (talk) 20:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for again being proactive and reactive on this one, folks. The Equalizer (talk) 01:56, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Yet another sock?

Seems to be the season. I didn't notice this, another editor Hzh did here, but interact tool suggests Hzh's suspicion correct. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:33, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

fuck you Favonian.
