Dear King of Hearts

I truly appreciate that at least this part of witch-hunt is over. I'm being bashed on another incident that was caused by my adding of one-sided links to fashion sites I love. I apologized there but also argued in a nice way , why I believe the links must be on Wikipedia [1]. I love fashion more than anything in the world and I love to share my passion with other users. In this case I probably shared to much, but I thought that after the links to FMD (the site in question) made of half of the references in the profiles, it should be legit to offer the wiki-user a more specific and neutral profile about a designer/model or whatever. Now imagine, you love a couple of websites like crazy - I for example spend a lof of time on style.com, models.com and of course FMD, and because you are so much into this, you want to provide the users much more information about a designer like Dries van Noten (like in my example in the defense linked above), and you link it of course. I linked it because on FMD you have besides much more biographical information also an image of him, but also over 600 fashion works of him. Isn't this a good reason to link to it (and the links are in compliance with WP:EL and RS). The most terrible thing is actually, that they are now talking about punishing a fashion database - which besides has delivered Wikipedia so much information - just because of my behaviour. This is pure injustice. Sorry for flooding you with my concern, but you were the first to something good to me in proving that I am not a sockpuppet (this was part of the withc-hunt that came from there), and I would truly appreciated if you could have a look at the issue there. ► robomod 15:20, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I also wanted to add that after reading the talk's page of user Vituzzu , who is an official Wikipedia administrator and also the accuser of me being a spambot/spammer, the language he is using there, especially the Italian , is so much below a serious and educated (he is calling users dickheads and other real bad things!), that I would love to file a complaint on a superiors Wikipedia-entity. Could you guide me to a website that allows the de-administration of users? I couldn't find one so far. ► robomod 15:26, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doctornickel

Hi, Your Majesty. I re-opened the Doctornickel thread that you had closed ("Boomerang"), because I'd discovered it was a sock and have indeffed the account accordingly. Anybody can re-close it, but maybe you'd like the honour? Bishonen | talk 23:34, 4 April 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Where has it moved to?

Morning I wish to ask where the content of the latest enquire has gone to? ie dated March 2014 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/FanforClarl I have looked at the notes and it suggests it was moved to here but that is not the case since it wasnt; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/FanforClarl/Archive Fanforclarl so where has the details been moved to? Thanks --Crazyseiko (talk) 12:58, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Detroit Joseph

Could you have another quick look at this please? I've added diffs. The question isn't whether they are sockpuppets (they pretty much admit as much, and both accounts were created the day after the master was topic banned from the subject), but whether a CU would be useful to see if there are any more. Black Kite (talk) 22:10, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah; it's just that CU's tend to be pretty inflexible about the diff requirement regardless of the case. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:13, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, thanks for doing that. Black Kite (talk) 22:18, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IP socks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/124.179.85.140

I saw this. I thought you might want to know that there is definitely IP socking by DJFryzy at chiropractic. I think the chiropractic page should be semi-protected. QuackGuru (talk) 19:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:35, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I just remembered because of the persistent problems the status quo was semi-protection. QuackGuru (talk) 02:36, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:38, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. There was another suspicious account that might be a sock. I'm not sure if it is DJFryzy or another chiropractor fan. QuackGuru (talk) 02:42, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to open a new SPI, and be sure to include relevant diffs from both the master and the suspected sock. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:47, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Since I'm not sure on this one I will move on for now until there is hard evidence. QuackGuru (talk) 02:50, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sally Kellerman.

King of <3. Could you please assign me a mentor to assist in making the Sally Kellerman article worthy of GA consideration. I have been hard at work in gathering legit sources to provide information on her career. In addition, I did take apply the assessor's comments to the article. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avario87 (talk • contribs) 03:32, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

You can look on WP:GAN for users who have made many reviews. They would likely have a good understanding of how to get articles up to GA status. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:42, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SockPuppet Investigation Immediately closed by an administrator when the accused requested him to close it- Need Immediate attention

Hi User:King of Hearts ,

I had opened a sock puppet investigation on two users Shriram and Lihaas on India General election page- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Shriram. One of them suddently made a request to another Administrator ( RequestMadeHere ) to close the investigation and the page was immediately closed.

Excerpt- User:JamesBWatson, I would think canvassing around for his view is turning disruptive. (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shriram) How about a topic ban?Lihaas (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2014 (UTC)


The immediate closure of topic looks suspicious. Please do the necessary.


Thanks Soorejmg (talk) 15:52, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Soorejmg has sent this message to six different administrators. See User talk:Soorejmg#Canvassing. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:30, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Hi KoH, The accused user Lihaas asked another Amdinistrator JamesBWatson to close the SockPuppet INvestigation and he immediately did that. This is supisicios. Please have a look. As the page Indian general election, 2014 is a high profile page in India now due to ongoing election, there is very high chance of paid editing in WIkipedia by political parties to make page look advantage for them. I would request your kind intervention in this case.

Excerpt of request made by the accesed Lihas to JamesBWatson- "User:JamesBWatson, I would think canvassing around for his view is turning disruptive. (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shriram) How about a topic ban?Lihaas (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2014 (UTC)"

Sockpuppets of Techastrax

Hi, I would like to point you back to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ichek where I have provided diffs as requested. The currently suspected puppets are those of Techastrax, the mastersock. It seems you have moved the mastersock to Ichek, but I would say that Techastrax is a different sock despite sharing similarities with the currently suspected socks and Ichek. The main aim of the current socks are to revert the prevailing consensus of legitimate users' concern to use PPPs instead of exchange rates on List of countries by average wage, where they seem to use hit and run guerrilla tactics with random IPs that have no edit history.
