  • I'm not sure whether I've "unretired" yet, but it seems wrong to say I'm retired when I've been editing so much lately. I'm still deeply disturbed by the governance at Wikipedia and the WMF, and I doubt that will ever change. I could say more but don't think it's appropriate.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:16, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Charli_250 et al

Hello, I'm referring to User_talk:Bbb23/Archive_54#Sockpuppets. Right now he's active as 89.12.2.174 (talk · contribs). I'm listing his banned and blocked accounts an various IPs in de WP: de:Benutzer:RoBri/Charli, maybe this is helpful. --Roger (talk) 11:12, 26 August 2021 (UTC) ...IP was blocked by Schniggendiller (talk · contribs), thx --Roger (talk) 18:38, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... 77.183.98.114 (talk · contribs), was blocked globally this morning, now again in deWP --Roger (talk) 21:34, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Contributions/0306kev is another sockpuppet, fits even in the naming-pattern. --Roger (talk) 13:04, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RoBri: I'm embarrassed. I noticed 0306kev yesterday, I don't remember how as I don't pay attention to sports articles, and the obvious connection just sailed right over my head. Good thing someone's paying attention. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:15, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Curious (2)

There's a new sock, ECN001 (of Curious boy km I mean), There was another but it only made a few edits and I've forgot the details. Even with the new account allowed to edit for so many days, they continue to edit with IPs. So, letting them do their little things until they start causing trouble, which I briefly considered, does not seem palatable. But they seem to be able to change IP at will. And I don't know how drastic we can be in handling one abuser. Can we block all ranges of the ISP, maybe leaving account creation enabled? I don't think they can easily switch ISPs; they could switch to mobile data, but at least it would be costlier for them. Or do we block IPs as they appear (I could list them day to day as they appear)? Nepali Congress and Bimalendra Nidhi are two articles that they target for their advocacy. Could we semi those for 3-12 months, and see where they move on to next? I need guidance. Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:23, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked and tagged ECN001; if you remember the other named account, regardless of how many edits they made, please let me know. I believe the ISP used is Vianet Communications Pvt. I have no idea how big they are, but I've never heard of blocking all ranges of an ISP, especially not because of one user. There are problematic ISPs where often wide ranges are blocked, but that's not usually done preemptively. Proxies, of course, are a different matter. If, OTOH, you can let me know if individual IPs that are in the same range, I can look at blocking those ranges. I've done so before with this user. As for semi-protection, the same rules apply to pages this user edits as any page. There has to be enough recent disruption to justify protection.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:48, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sensible. Will do. Thank you! Usedtobecool ☎️ 14:48, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've blocked that one and one other. I've G5'd the draft. There were others, but they haven't edited in a few days, and the user uses so many different ranges, it's hard to keep up. They've always used mobile networks. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:06, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Protection request

Thanks for the RV. Can you protect my talk page from IPs again? Thanks. Flix11 (talk) 04:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Flix11: It looks like the individual has stopped, and you don't have a history before of IP disruption. Why don't we wait? I have your Talk page on my watchlist, and if it happens again, I will semi-protect the page.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:11, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was on June 2020. Flix11 (talk) 12:12, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have been vandalized by another IP from Palembang. Flix11 (talk) 09:01, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And again today. Flix11 (talk) 04:34, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hello Bbb23! As the blocking admin of the suspected master, would you please have a look at this SPI? The user in question is disruptive, so some form of action at least is needed. Thanks! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 11:10, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bbb23!, I have one question? , Hamaredha (talk) 15:46, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Novrogod2

Is this guy a sock or something? I noticed some odd behaviour just now from my watchlist and when looking at the guys contrib. Something felt fishy... Govvy (talk) 16:55, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A problematic editor has returned

Greetings Bbb23, I write to inform you that unfortunately the disruptive editor and block evader I told you about last week [1] is back, repeating the same behavior, just in a different article[2][3] (notice that once again is using multiple IPs). As I mentioned last week, this person is likely a sockpuppeter that has already had socks blocked (very likely the editor Php2000/Huasteca whose case is here[4]), in fact there may be another sock in that article right now: The editor Lonerism20. As said editor supports the edits of the IP accounts [5] and actually tried to reduce the number of White Mexicans personally some months ago [6], and must also be noted that both editors always lower them to the same number, that of 13 million (compare [7] with [8] for example). Thanks in advance. Pob3qu3 (talk) 02:23, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is anything I can do here. The two IPs you mention above are in different ranges. Assuming that Lonerism20 is related to those IPs, I doubt that they are related Php2000. As I glance at the somewhat complex history of Php2000, it looks like he edited from Spain, not Colombia.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:12, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. Things have calmed down recently, but I think one must remain vigilant in case a conflict resurfaces as we are dealing with a recurrent disruptive editor. Additionally, I’ve remembered a previous conflict that involded the editor Huasteca [9] on which his edits [10] were conveniently assisted by IP accounts[11][12] that hailed from Indonesia of all places. Nowadays there’s many easy ways to obtain dynamic VPNs and given the proficiency of this sockpuppeter I think said scenario is a plausible possibility.

Sockpuppet

Hollybs8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is clearly a sockpuppet of Hollybh (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) whom you blocked earlier for other sockpuppetry. Just so you know. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:53, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article restore

Sir, article i created Ume Samuel Ikeogu was deleted long time ago, please can it be restored so that i will work on it to improve it or should i start new article on it Samnaija (talk) 00:37, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, I won't restore it, and no, I don't think you should start a new article.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:53, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
Thank you for blocking jason perla, now i won't have to deal with that disruptive editor anymore now that you blocked him! peace is restored in the Wikiverse thanks to you! SomeWhatLife (talk) 01:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to create this page, but in spite of a "hangon" template on the main page I never got much of a chance and the talk page was apparently deleted as belonging to a deleted page, but the article page hadn't been deleted yet because of the hangon template, unless it was deleted so fast that my post crossed with the deletion

Am I accidentally breaking some kind of procedure or is there something going on here?

From what I can tell I seem to be cross-posting mid-air collision style with an active attempt to delete the page. I'm not aware of a deletion discussion involving this page.

Shentino (talk) 20:13, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wolf's Search was deleted. It was the second time you created the article, and this time was hardly an improvement on the first. If you believe there should be an article on the book, do it in draft form. Creating it in article space is disruptive.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:17, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
thanks I was actually unaware of the drafting process. I've actually done "bold skeletons" before, like "The Profit (TV series)" and I was amazed at how quickly the wikipedia community developed the article. Btw, why was it deleted the first time and was it ever deleted before my first creation of the article? Shentino (talk) 20:19, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was deleted the first time per WP:A3. Unless you created it under a different name, those were the only two times it was deleted. By the way, for drafting, see WP:AFC.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Consultation

Hi, Bbb23. i am nelson --NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 07:07, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

i want to ask you, can i re insert my image of the victim into the page Anthony Ler, which i created? because i thought of providing identification of the victim, since some standalone biographical pages of murderers like jeffrey dahmer have their victims' photos uploaded --NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 07:07, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

if cannot, please remove it and give me a reason here --NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 07:10, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell?

Why did you delete my draft on Hopper? It was not "Unambiguous advertising" by any stretch and I was in the middle of improving it. FailedMusician (talk) 00:38, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Who is paying you to write this and the other travel-related drafts you are quickly creating?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:54, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quizplus Draft

Hi Bbb23, why did you delete my draft? I was in the middle of improving it. I was allowed to have six months period to improve it. --RidAndia (talk) 02:25, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
