Yacoub Shaheen

May I ask you something? You deleted the whole article of Yacoub Shaheen in March because it was created by a sock puppet, but is there any way to review the deletion and return the page? I am mainly working in the Japanese Wikipedia, and the Japanese article ja:ヤクーブ・シャヒーン was translated from the English article Yacoub Shaheen, which was a proper article when it was translated. Now the English articles is gone, and it is impossible to see where the Japanese article comes from.

And if we translate the Japanese article of Yacoub Shaheen into English and upload it as an English Wikipedia article, does the English Wikipedia regard the new article as a page created by a sock puppet, because the original version was translated from the article created by a sock puppet? --saebou (talk) 06:16, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First, any editor can recreate an article that was deleted per G5 as long as that editor is not a blocked sock. Obviously, the article shouldn't be recreated unless the subject is notable per our notability guidelines. Second, if the article on ja.wiki was translated from English to Japanese, couldn't you translate it back to English? That said, if it will help you, I can restore the article to your userspace and you can do what you want with it, including moving it into mainspace if you think it's ready. Let me know what you wish me to do.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:46, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry on João Vale e Azevedo (again)

Please block 212.243.217.45 (talk · contribs) again. Another IP address was used by the same blocked editor: 193.83.9.5 (talk · contribs). SLBedit (talk) 20:58, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The 212. IP and one other IP have made only one edit each. If the disruption continues, let me know. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:08, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ongoing. SLBedit (talk) 22:47, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
78.141.189.1 is the same person as 81.12.209.58. SLBedit (talk) 23:55, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I semi-protected the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:07, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Continued harassment

Hi, since you blocked the Israelpetersen account, you should be aware there is another account spouting the same nonsense, now on my talk page, and using the same name as a Reddit user at WikiInAction libeling me and other editors. Also pinging Oshwah, who performed a rangeblock earlier today for what is almost certainly the same individual. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 04:28, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The other account is blocked. I also suspect that Elektricity is another account as well. See the editing behaviors at EU Business School - perfect timeline, same use of edit summaries, and same removals. It's like the person put down one account and immediately picked up the other to resume... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:35, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the fast response Oshwah, thanks much. WWB Too (Talk · COI) 04:41, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Always happy to help lend a hand ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:44, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid it's still happening, again from an IP address with a suspicious history, and now on the article Hilary Rosen, a client of mine last year. This time, the tactic is adding warning templates to the top of the article. Some more context: in April, the now-blocked user Inlinetext abruptly deleted significant content on this page, and I believe the same person is behind all of these accounts. Like all of these pages I worked on (FWIW, EU Business School is not one) I have never once made a direct mainspace edit to Ms. Rosen's article, instead any changes I've suggested were implemented by volunteer editors. These two tags, one of which is barely a week old, are being used as a "scarlet letter", in the words of Cullen328. Is this enough for the IP to be blocked? Will someone consider removing the templates? Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 15:01, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

The Checkuser's Barnstar
Thank you for quickly handling my request at WP:SPI. Hrodvarsson (talk) 13:08, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Hrodvarsson: Thanks!--Bbb23 (talk) 15:07, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the same case, an IP editor has appeared on Eoin O'Duffy (not to make the same edit but minor POV and adding spelling errors) and has also edited Rank-Raglan mythotype, making an identical edit as Apollo The Logician made. Hrodvarsson (talk) 01:47, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Central Dibs

Central Dibs (talk · contribs) was reported at AIV as a block-evading sock of User:Albagobragh. The connection seemed reasonable to me, per WP:DUCK, so I blocked. Central Dibs is now asking to be unblocked, claiming not to be related to Albagobragh. Since you checkusered and blocked Albagobragh, I thought maybe you could shed a little light here. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:48, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Edgar181: Central Dibs appears to be Red X Unrelated.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:17, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles being used to build up user rights

Hi Bbb23, I have a suspicion that a certain article is being used by a content farm to build up new users so that they get editing credibility and the right to create articles. Obviously this does not fit immediately into categories to raise a sockpuppetry investigation as there is no tangible evidence. The article in question is for Merz Akademie. This is a tiny arts college in Germany, yet the article on EN wiki has gained almost as many edits in the last year as the (native language) German article has in the last 10+ years. What sticks out is that many new editors seem to have chosen this one for their very first or one of the very first edits, often just tiny formatting or wording changes. This strikes me as very odd. Would this be something of interest do see if there is any connection between the users? pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at this and then contact Zzuuzz to see what they think.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:32, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question

Hi I have a question about the investigation. That I am in conflict with the contributor does not contradict the fact that there is evidence that they can be the same person. What should I doing ? --Panam2014 (talk) 22:16, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Work on the content dispute and not file cases at SPI.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But why ? The "coincidence" is disturbing and it is possible that it is true. And it is not egalitarian for a debate that a contributor can possibly express himself twice. --Panam2014 (talk) 22:48, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And olive branch & holiday wishes!
Bbb23, please accept these holiday wishes :)

I've caused this year to end on a chord of disappointment for many, but I hope that despite my mistakes and the differences in opinion and perspectives, and regardless of what the outcome is or in what capacity I can still contribute in the coming year, we can continue working together directly or indirectly on this encyclopedic project, whose ideals are surely carried by both of our hearts. I'm hoping I have not fallen in your esteem to the level where "no hard feelings" can no longer ring true, because I highly respect you and your dedication to Wikipedia, and I sincerely wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2018.

Hello Bbb23: Enjoy the holiday season, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 16:16, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AN/I section you may want to post in

I was just writing to GodwinCollins when I saw you'd indeffed them as a sock. There's an AN/I section about them where I'm the only responder so far; you may want to point out my folly tehre to make the OP feel better—they happened to use as their example someone who is relatively clearly notable. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:43, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yngvadottir: You're a thoughtful person. Done. BTW, although you can't see them, many of the articles created by GC were speedied under G12 and/or A7. Good luck improving any articles worth saving.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:50, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ellis and Eastern Company: Work

Before I say anything, Happy Holidays.

About six months ago the page i created, Ellis and Eastern Company, was tagged for speedy deletion and deleted. I have learned alot in 6 months, and i have been editing various pages, and today i checked my talk page and saw the deletion talk still there. I ask that if it is possible, a copy of Ellis and Eastern Company be sent to me so that i may work on it and add references, and making it creditable. I will make it much better than when i made it six months ago, when i had no idea what i was doing. I will respond on my talk page once you can respond back to this message. Thanks, xXCooksterXx XXCooksterXx (talk) 20:27, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I moved it to User:XXCooksterXx/Ellis and Eastern Company.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:06, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JournalmanManila

Hi Bbb23. Regarding the SPI, we missed the account of Reign05 who is more likely turned up as another sockpuppet of JournalmanManila, as shown in his/her edit here and here. (N0n3up (talk) 23:52, 22 December 2017 (UTC))[reply]

That account is  Stale.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:06, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User Redirecting his page to yours, update: this issue has been resolved

A user named Bbb23 smells like armpit and bullies innocent people has redirected his User Page to yours. If this other account belongs to you, then please (of course) disregard this notice and delete it or whatever. But I just wanted to let you know.
