Blocked user Kingcutie under new sockpuppet HDClear

It appears that user Kingcutie is once again vandalizing his brother's wikipedia page under sockpuppet HDClear, for which he was previously banned by you.

It's not entirely clear to me how to proceed with bringing attention to this.

Potential sock

Looks like User talk:FeldmarschallGneisenau is a sock of Urabura: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Urabura/Archive

They were previously SPI'd, but was too soon to say. The overlap in pages edited is suspicious now. Some of them are very niche.

Zenomonoz (talk) 11:33, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another piece of evidence since the SPI: FeldmarschallGneisenau was edit-warring to keep the phrase "prime minister" in the lede of Donald Tusk without capitalization [1]. This formatting appears to have been originally introduced by Urabura's sockpuppet HetmanWL. [2]. NicolausPrime (talk) 11:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to explicitly add these two now-blocked accounts to the list of sockpuppets during the SPI investigation: User:Shqian User:Retois. This comment made me suspicious: [3]. NicolausPrime (talk) 11:48, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even more obvious is that they decided to return to my talk page to troll there.[4]. I never interacted with FeldmarschallGneisenau before but I have interacted with Galehautt who left personal attacks due to the same article that got them indeffed.[5]. Mellk (talk) 11:51, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More evidence: FeldmarschallGneisenau is now edit-warring in Czech Republic, reinserting changes to the infobox [6] that have been previously placed there by HetmanWL [7]. NicolausPrime (talk) 23:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even more evidence: FeldmarschallGneisenau edited Serbia to make it not be Central Europe [8], which was what HetmanWL attempted earlier but was reverted [9]. NicolausPrime (talk) 03:27, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't even know who Urabura is or where from. I'm autistic about country pages. There's nothing more I can add.FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 11:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how an article, cited only to primary sources, for a chairman of a regional branch of a business unit of a larger company is not an A7 case. AusLondonder (talk) 15:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:European Coach of the Year

There is no such thing as European Coach of the Year, so the template is false in a way, 100% rubbish hoax. Surely that's covered by WP:G3? Govvy (talk) 20:16, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to delete the template as a hoax when it's transcluded in so many pages. Work it out at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/European Football Coach of the Year.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:28, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya Bbb, I've removed the template from those pages, is it viable for G3 now? Govvy (talk) 19:44, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent, aren't you (smiling)?

Done.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:44, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I am not sure smiling is always the answer, but the answer could be the smile!

Please see Draft:Articles for deletion/Wrightspeed X1

This appears to be an attempt to create an AfD for Wrightspeed X1 which the editor has attempted before in several ways, at least one of which you have reverted. I was considering moving it to the correct place. There is some merit in the (potential) nomination because of lack of sourcing, but the topic appears to me to have notability. Your thoughts would be welcome. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted the AfD, removed the tag, and blocked a wider IP range than last January, and this time for 3 months. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good call. I think it is a borderline qualifier for an article but I have no strong feelings about it. if someone feels strongly then they may create a fully formed deletion discussion, or ask for help in doing so. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 12:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted User Page

Hey Bbb23, I am trying to undelete my user page, but it say I should contact you before creating my user page again. Is it okay to edit it, or does something need to happen on your end first?Unbiased6969 (talk) 06:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should be able to create a userpage. If you have technical problems, let me know.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you. I believe I can, but it just provided that notice on top, so I figured I'd check in before making changes. Unbiased6969 (talk) 15:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About Draft:Protests to Japan's New Immigration Bill 2023

@Lebenton and Bbb23: @Bbb23: Could you possibly specify which "entity, person, product, or idea" your CSD G11 tag on this draft refers to? @Lebenton: this draft is quite frankly a huge mess. A "WP:BEFORE" for "Protests to Japan's New Immigration Bill 2023" yields only that draft. Presumably the "New Immigration Bill" you refer to is a 2023 Bill (law) of the Japanese National Diet. Could you possibly link that particular bill? Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 11:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see the law doesn't even have an article, and isn't even mentioned in Immigration to Japan which this article mostly duplicates. Black Kite (talk) 11:53, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shirt58, it looks like a poorly written advertisement for the downtrodden.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lebenton, Bbb23, Black Kite, and Deb: To be honest here, my initial (emotional, not rational) response to this is: "I don't know what to write about this." On further reflection... please see the "VTEC just kicked in, yo!" meme and replace "VTEC" with "CBT". Sort of.--Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the article (if that's what you're asking) seems to be "protests". Deb (talk) 10:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline g-11 speedy

Hello. Why did you decline this speedy request [10]. The sources are promotional and promote the trailer. The filter for this article said it was Spam and I agree. What is your opinion? ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What matters is the language of the article, which was not promotional. Sourcing is irrelevant.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to disagree but - where in our guidelines, policies or essays might it say sourcing is irrelevant when it comes to potentially promotional content? Or, what are you basing that assertion on? ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:43, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion."--Bbb23 (talk) 01:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks for your time. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 01:57, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Follow up on User_talk:Bbb23/Archive_61#Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/UniBrill/Archive and User_talk:Bbb23/Archive_61#New_Simon_Ekpa-org. You feel like admin-deleting Prime Minister of Biafra and Who is the Prime Minister of Biafra?. I've been agf-ing that this user is maybe not a sock, but it's harder now. Possibly related: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Democratic Republic of the Yoruba. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:02, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! I'd been watching this user a while ago trying to decide if they were a sock, but at that time, they'd only edited Simon Ekpa a little and nothing that I found smoking gun-like, so I let it alone and stopped watching them ("watching" users on Wikipedia is a pain in the butt, something I've complained about for years). Anyway, they are now blocked and tagged, and all their creations deleted per G5 - thanks! --Bbb23 (talk) 13:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. FYI, Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Increase#Simon_Ekpa. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let another admin evaluate the protection request.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rachana Shah

Hi, I see you G5'd Rachana Shah yesterday, and now it's back. Btw Santhosh? Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 14:12, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed Brosscreater when they removed the AfD, but then, as now, I was reluctant to block without technical confirmation, mainly because I don't believe any of the socks has ever used the mobile platform for editing. Do me a favor and file a report at WP:SPI requesting CU. FYI, the Shah article created by Bross is almost identical to the one created by the recent sock. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:13, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added to existing report, thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 15:43, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If only everyone were as cooperative as you - it's a pleasure.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

News to me

…been away for a bit but it’s news to me that non admins can officially decline a G5. I knew about contesting, so I guess thanks for your “attempt” to inform me. :) GRINCHIDICAE🎄 19:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
