Indian socks

Wow - you've done some insane work on the cutting down the socking around Indian film (and other topics). I really, really appreciate the effort! Ravensfire (talk) 23:59, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, Ravensfire but I'm guessing that it is the checkuser team as a whole and not just my own efforts. :)

UTRS

It's quite possible this user is being truthful here. I saw a similar clumsily-worded request earlier that had me fooled for a second; it was purportedly from an autoblocked user in good standing; they claim they were never blocked and never made a UTRS request. I think we still have some spoofing vulnerability at UTRS. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:50, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, Ohnoitsjamie. Normally, DeltaQuad was working on that, I believe, but she has retired. Do you know of someone else that needs to be informed of this so the UTRS system may be improved?
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 14:47, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I am still here with UTRS as it's a global project. This was faked appeal. It will be better on UTRS 2 as it will require actual account verification, but we are not there yet. I'll see if I can find the time to add the one domain to the blacklist code. (@SQL: can you take a swing at this as all?) -- Amanda (aka DQ) 16:28, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

DeltaQuad, Looking at it. Should that be a local change to appealObject, or push to git (or, I have it completely wrong?) SQL^{Query me!} 16:37, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you, glad you're still around, DQ! OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:28, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Range block

Hi there! In October you range-blocked 20.138.0.0/16 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), now the user is back as 86.186.109.124 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), adding the exact same unsourced changes on Garry's Mod as they did under the old IP(s). Could you also block this IP or its respective range? Regards, Lordtobi (✉) 15:00, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Lordtobi, I've blocked the IP address and semi-protected the article.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 15:28, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

In October you blocked 95.83.249.0/24 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), now the IP is back as 95.83.249.65 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), who exactly the same genre warring under its range. Could you keep an eye of the range? 2402:1980:824C:9E66:38BA:270C:4F2A:2436 (talk) 07:02, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

objection to remote blocking

Why have you blocked my mobile phone from editing wikipedia ? Ive only made two edits, one to reverse the first. I have no idea what squelch sock account means . I cant even sign in on my mobile until your blocking expires. I dont think I have broken any rules so Im asking for a full explanation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hmcst1 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Hmcst1, Do you expect me to know what IP address that you are talking about?

That range is blocked because there is a prolific sockmaster that uses it. Good block. You are able to edit on that range provided that you are signed into your account which you should be anyway. Clearly, you can edit when using your account or you wouldn't be able to edit my talk page. Obviously, you can sign into your account with my block in place, too.

Precious anniversary

Five years!

Do you know my little questionaire, talk before you block? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:56, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you Gerda. I have seen that before and parts of it are more applicable for new editors, those that do not know certain policies, or editors that are acting out of character because they may be having a bad day or something along those lines. It should never be used to excuse those who are behaving as divas and have been warned/blocked many times before. They would seek to game the system believing that they have some margin in their favor.

• It is also best to not talk where enablers would arrive to offer arguments of absurdity and to harass and harangue. Those discussions bear no fruit and only serve to embolden the divas to their own detriment.

• Per Pavlov and Skinner, when the diva does A they should come to expect B to happen like clockwork.
   — Berean Hunter (talk) 23:49, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

I am an opera person, and for me, diva is derived from divine, see? - I haven't been blocked, so can't tell from my experience, but I doubt that a block has a positive influence, especially on a person with character, acing in character. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:35, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

What Is Going On?

Hello:

I’m contacting you because I don’t understand what’s happening with respect to “Socking”. What is “Socking”? Whatever it is, why has it raised an issue with my Wikipedia account? I’m a legitimate Wikipedia user & I’ve had an account with the user name “PittsfieldPete” for several years. I’m completely in the dark as to why my account is suddenly being considered suspicious or counterfeit as some called it. I don’t know what to do about the problem, largely because I don’t understand what’s wrong with it in the first place.

Do you understand the problem? If so, will you kindly write back with an explanation & what steps I need to take to fix it? If you like you may contact me via email at:

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Pete Wilson “PittsfieldPete” — Preceding unsigned comment added by PittsfieldPete (talk • contribs) 04:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Berean Hunter,

can you please explain your undo of my edit? Wasn't it just a misunderstanding? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Midway&oldid=prev&diff=921804331

I've explained my motivation in the comment: Fixed grammar (plural The few aircrafts)

The original sentence is incorrect, because it's plural: The few aircrafts on the Japanese flight decks at the time of the attack were either defensive fighters... (emphasis added) But the aircraft is missing the plural suffix, so I added it. Am I right? If yes, please undo your miscorrection.

Thank you, regards, Peter Ivan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivanpeter5o (talk • contribs) 22:04, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

(by talk reader) @Ivanpeter5o: In English, the word aircraft is both singular and plural. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
