Strange sockpuppetry case for User:Dalai lama ding dong?

Hi, I just recently checked the sockpuppet (stated in title) and am curious to know, that without an investigation of sockpuppetry, how you managed to block another user User:Upper lima 65 and managed to relate him to the above stated account? I can't seem to find the investigation of a clerk admissioned checkuser. Numpty9991 (talk) 00:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Same way I blocked you. I have no idea what a "clerk admissioned checkuser" means; if I am presented with reasonable suspicions from reliable sources, I investigate and if necessary act. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 02:33, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jpgordon, is there any particular reason why that didn't happen here? (See [2]). Andreas JN466 13:10, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a particular reason, I've no idea what it might have been; that was six years ago, and I have enough trouble remembering why or why not I did something six days ago. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:02, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, as to why I didn't block Qworty there and then: at the time, when I was doing what's now SPI work, I kept my hats separate; I always left it for another admin to do the actual blocking before closing the case. I'm surprised that nobody followed up on this one. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:36, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It looks like it was simply closed, and no one ever followed up. Andreas JN466 17:35, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Steven Soderbergh

Hi, you've just deleted an edit I did to the Steven Soderbergh page, and IMO your justification is just not up to snuff. You say that the table is "real hard to read -- a lot harder to glean information from. The list is easier". Well I happen to disagree completely. I personally find the table is a lot easier to read and gives more information more quickly than the list which I found appaling, or else I wouldn't have spent hours making said table. For you to delete such an edit based solely on your personal opinionis in my mind, contrary to what Wikipedia is all about. I will however refrain from reinstating my edit until you have a chance to reply. Happy Evil Dude (talk) 09:36, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's exactly what Wikipedia is about. We're all editors, and we're all equal here as editors. Your opinion that that table is a userful addition is as valid as my opinion that the table is difficult to read, difficult to use, and aesthetically unattractive. That's why the guideline WP:BRD -- bold, revert, discuss -- is useful. I'll happily engage with you on the article talk page about this, should you desire. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 12:58, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jpgordon...

In the Danny Elfman article you reverted my edit of an "ska" band to a "ska" band. My question is: do you say the names of the letters when saying "ska" = ES KAY AY, or do you say it like the word "scat" without the "T"? Cheers, Shir-El too 15:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More like "scar". It's intermittently popular in the UK (big in the early '60s and early '80s). Definitely "a ska band", not "an". Andy Dingley (talk) 15:46, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, exactly. It's not an acronym or anything. Of course, looking at ska would have shown just that. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 16:52, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vrghs Jacob (a master sock) is back!

Hello Sir,

User:Vrghs jacob is back and is again using multiple socks to:

1. Broadcast his personal opinion using Wikipedia.

2. With some accounts he's violating copyrights, with some putting up notable articles for deletion, putting irrelevant tags to articles, making unconstructive edits, plagiarising, reverting constructive edits by others, swearing and calling them vandals while he's the one who's vandalising Wiki.

3. He's using multiple accounts and uses them to interact with his other accounts as if they're used by different persons, a pretence he's been using ever since he was caught for the first time.

4. He loves to edit pages from the Government of India particularly Indian Revenue Service.

5. He claims to have an MBA from IIM Calcutta and PhD from Nanyang and on the top of it, has cleared Civil Services Exam with an All India Rank of 67 and joined CRPF (no one in his stable mind would do that, if he gets that high rank, since CRPF officers are stationed at extremely remote places fighting naxals and terrorists). No scholar or admininistrator/bureaucrat has so much time to sit all day on Wiki.

6. The made up name of his doesn't show up in google results.

KSince you've been dealing with this sick, demented mind, I thought to inform you. I tried to open an SPI case before this, but he got away with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Uncletomwood/Archive

I know he's the one, I can smell him from a mile. I shall continue to blow his cover until he's gone for good.

Please have a look at Indian Ordnance Factories Service. He's saying that IOFS officers are trained at National Academy of Direct Taxes! Why would they learn taxation? Thay have NOTHING to do with taxation. I added citations from the official website of the President of India, LBS National Academy of Administration, IISc Bangalore, Times of India, Metal & Steel Factory, IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management) at Ahmedabad and Indore which he reverted. How can revert citations from these sources? Instead, he should be putting references to back his claims about NADT which he has not! On the other hand he has accused me of being a sock and a vandal and has semi protected the article.

Notice plagiarism at [[3]] which he totally copied from [[4]], It was his previous sock.

Please take time to lead the investigation thoroughly since edits made by editors like him take time to be rectified and until then many readers get misinformed. Please don't let him know about the investigation until a check user is complete as he would try to evade like he did before. Hoping that the truth shall prevail. Thanks! I think signature was necesaary, sorry! --117.219.227.60 (talk) 04:59, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
