Andrew U. D. Straw talk

Your reverts are protecting the defamatory statements against the subject, comparing him with a person under investigation by the FBI for porn. Leave the comments I made alone unless you are going to ban Kablammo from that page that he is vandalizing.Hindtoad (talk) 14:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Pepe.is.great account

Hi, I noticed you put a notification on the main pages but not on the talk pages (User talk:Pepe.is.great User talk:Free Pepe), should the talk pages get the update too? Also I think the way you did it might let the Pepe.is.great one write on their talk page again? Morty C-137 (talk) 17:33, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I often don't put block notices on account Talk pages. As for Talk page access revocation, it's a little weird in Pepe.is.great's case because Boing! said Zebedee had revoked Talk page access but only for the duration of a one-week block, not an indefinite one as I imposed. I put the account on my watchlist, so I can always revoke Talk page access later if it's warranted. Any admin can revoke Talk page access if they believe it's needed.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:02, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, would it be ok if I left a brief note pointing people to the user page side and linking the sockpuppet form, or would you or another admin prefer to do that? Morty C-137 (talk) 18:27, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please leave it alone. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:37, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stop reverting

If You have a Question about a source, than post a citation needed. Reverting is incredibly rude.Wjhonson (talk) 21:25, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting World Lethwei Championship page

Hi, I noticed you deleted the page for World Lethwei Championship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Lethwei_Championship This organisation is the biggest promotion for the sport of lethwei in the world and I provided citations from news articles to prove that. Not sure why it was deleted if I already proved the significance.

If you needed any more evidence, here are some of the top stories from many news sources around the world.

Does it appear notable? No. However it might not have been a CSD candidate. I suggest restore and AFD? GiantSnowman 17:23, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: How about if I restore it (my problem in the first instance) and you AfD it? You don't have to, of course, but I don't feel comfortable AfDing a sports-related article. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:28, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that works for me! GiantSnowman 17:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese military possible sock

Please check User:Akanns who has been editing the same way User:Skanba. Look at Skanba's edit and Akanns' edit which are very similar. Airkeeper (talk) 16:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please protect and guide the page Sino-Nepalese War where multiple socks like User:Nerdboi123, User:Aalnqb,etc did multiple edits without edit summary as User:Akanns. The page should be protected as many Chinese accounts are created to vandalize (editing without justification). Airkeeper (talk) 16:53, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Airkeeper: Did you know you were included as an alleged sock at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Born A? Perhaps you'd like to comment there.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:01, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Check user required

Bbb23, you may recall closing down Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/RebeccaTheAwesomeXD a few hours ago, following a quack from an IP. I have a sneaky suspicion that RebeccaTheAwesomeeXD may have created a new user account. This account was created April 16, and posted this question on my talk page asking why I had changed my user name. Strikes me as odd, when my name was changed March 31 (16 days before the new user created their account). And even more peculiar when another IP (who was later blocked for being RTA) posted this same question - again days after my name change. Neither the IP or ZoriAlexandra08 have had prior interactions with myself. It is looking like Rebecca has become WP:LTA, and I'm not familiar with the action to take to handle long-term abuse accounts. Any chance on checking if the new account does belong to RTA, to save time submitting another SPI? Many thanks, Wes Wolf Talk 01:10, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The account is Red X Unrelated.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:56, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for checking into that. How bizarre though that a new user knew that I had changed my username, and worded the comment as if they have known for years. Wes Wolf Talk 02:05, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eurygaster confidens

Why do you insist on removing my requests for deletion? It's a blatant hoax - the species was never described and doesn't exist (also the text is full of nonsensical lines). Remove the darn thang already. keeping it in Wikipedia is just being ridiculous!! You've been suckered into presenting the article for a long time and even having the article translated into Spanish. Take your losses and clean up. Now. - Pudding 20:40, 25 May 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arp (talk • contribs)

@Arp: If you re-add the tag, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:45, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Thanks for deleting Eurygaster confidens. Do you have access to the starting date of the article? If so, it could be worth putting the article up at Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia for documentation purposes. I faintly remember the start date being 29th September 2013, but I could be way off. Jiten Dhandha • talk • contributions • 18:52, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jiten Dhandha: Your memory is spot on.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:23, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/688809 Memory

Based on their name and edits, Nfyfe826276 (talk · contribs) (and possibly Elinahh (talk · contribs)) seem to be related to this sockmaster. Are they? --Calton | Talk 13:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Both blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:38, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alexandre Gilbert Lévy

Hi.

This page (Alexandre Gilbert Lévy) looks to be possibly a recreation of deleted page Alexandre Gilbert. I bring it to your attention because you seem to be currently active and I am not sure if it should be a CSD. Thanks. Dan D. Ric (talk) 13:25, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly created by a sock of User:AlexLevyOne. Dan D. Ric (talk) 13:32, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe, but I'm not familiar with that case and the data is  Stale.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:40, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. Dan D. Ric (talk) 14:44, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rangeblock?

Hi, Bbb23! Any chance of a rangeblock here? These are socks of blocked users RP singh love and Rahul singh love, and they are spamming something (we're not sure what it is, possibly a phone number) into articles about Indian technical schools. They are doing it faster than we can protect the pages - at least 10 such articles so far. Some of the IPv4s are:

  • ‪2405:204:c28f:2585:3ee6:14ca:f42:fab6‬
  • ‪2405:204:c08a:1e76:543b:41fe:f541:20e3‬ (blocked by Oshwah)
  • 2‪405:205:a0eb:d68:3065:6e37:2ba9:c768‬

Thanks! --MelanieN (talk) 15:00, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MelanieN: Although it makes me dizzy to look at it, it's a wide range and in my view too much collateral damage. Sorry.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:20, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for checking. --MelanieN (talk) 15:57, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PhiladelphiaMan2007 / checkuser

Was this anyone I know? Probably one of the more bizarre acts of vandalism on its own. Toddst1 (talk) 15:01, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddst1: I don't know whom you know. It's a sock of VHSVideos2006 (talk · contribs · count).--Bbb23 (talk) 15:21, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew U. D. Straw

It was not me that made personal attacks, but Kablammo. Lie about it all you want, but he compared the subject of the page to a dishonest lawyer who promotes PORN. There is no evidence that Andrew Straw is dishonest or that he promotes porn and I suggest that you look at Kablammo for the defamation, not me. Wikipedia has a policy against defamation, right? My complaint was fully justified and your warning is misplaced, sir. Hindtoad (talk) 04:28, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kablammo's defamatory comparison is still on that talk page. Why don't you remove it? Hindtoad (talk) 04:30, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable good faith edits

24.178.29.47 (talk · contribs) There is this IP who is making inaccurate changes in hip-hop related articles. I been keeping an eye on this IP edits for awhile now, and the edits don't generally helping the articles at all, they don't seem to have any concept of proper grammar or the Manual of Style. The IP make very awkward grammatically incorrect edits in album pages and have been warned by several other editors about these edits, but continue to making questionable good faith edits. If you look closely at the talk page of this IP, I try to explain quite a bit why I have a problem with their edits, but they appear to never explain their edits and they have returned to restore the same changes as before without explaining why, and that's not a good look. Is this behavior is disruptive? TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 19:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about the subject matter. Some of the edits I looked at struck me as more weird than anything else.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But isn't it disruptive if the IP make unnecessary changes to articles like this without explaining why, and doesn't get a response from the editor when you try talk to them why edits are a problem? It's seems like the editor is ignoring these warnings and keep restoring these changes. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 19:58, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to take any action. If you wish, you can report the IP to ANI. If you do, stress the conduct issue, not the content issue, and make sure it's clear that it's over multiple articles, not just one, which would probably be construed as a content dispute. Or you can talk to another admin who is more familiar with the topic area.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:00, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 20:06, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page gnome) @TheAmazingPeanuts: I hope Bbb23 doesn't mind that I also reply here. Of interest may be the essay Wikipedia:Responding to a failure to discuss. Many consider the failure to communicate disruptive, because it prevents cooperation (essential to build consensus) and can encourage edit warring. — PaleoNeonate — 01:33, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@PaleoNeonate: I think that might help. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 20:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merging some SPI cases

Hi Bbb23. There are some SPI cases which I think they belong to one sockmaster. How can I submit a merge request? --Wario-Man (talk) 05:33, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

e.g. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Blahhhas and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/EMr KnG --Wario-Man (talk) 07:13, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Next time you file an SPI in either case, or if you see that one has been reopened by another editor, you can request a merge at that time with evidence as to why you think the master is the same.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:17, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. --Wario-Man (talk) 18:01, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Antichristos

Hello, at that SPI I mentioned that the socking is obvious to anyone familiar with the sockmaster's particular brand of nonsense, and that I left a note to an admin who has dealt with the case before. Rather than spending time presenting evidence from square one, as if the person reviewing the SPI had no knowledge of the history, I had hoped to leverage existing knowledge. So I didn't expect the checkuser request to be evaluated before the admin weighed in. Now that the admin has affirmed the sockpuppetry, would you please reopen the checkuser request? It is hard to underestimate the extent of the disruption coming from this sockmaster in Saint Petersburg. It's likely that there are socks we don't know about, and that's where checkuser can help.

On the technical side, it's about time these SPIs were merged into Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Antichristos.

I would do this myself, but (1) maybe an admin needs to affirm the sockmaster first and (2) maybe history merging is preferred anyway. Manul ~ talk 11:50, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of the SPI because it's on my watchlist. I am not going to run a check; please stop harping on the issue. Given EdJohnston's comments, I'm not sure why he hasn't blocked the named account. As for the merger, that probably won't happen. Once the block is in place, the SPI should be closed and then archived.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:14, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I overlooked that User:Attractor321 wasn't blocked yet. Now done. EdJohnston (talk) 14:46, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know who this is?

I blocked the account for a week after the nuisance edits on Ponyo's and other talk pages, now I got this warning from him after the block expired. I see you've warned the account before. Wondering if there's some sockmaster that I'm missing here as the behavior is unlikely to be that of a long standing good account. Maybe you or Cyphoidbomb know something I don't, it's likely to be an incredible waste of time here, now thinking that just a one week block was a mistake. —SpacemanSpiff 14:27, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SpacemanSpiff: No, I don't know if he's had another account. Unless he changes his approach, which seems unlikely, it's just a matter of time before he's indeffed.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:43, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CU request

Few days ago I sent an email to you concerning opening a sockpuppet investigation involving accounts which are indef blocked for socking. I wonder if you plan to initiate it? --Saqib (talk) 15:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:56, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
