Question regarding one account restriction

Hey Berean Hunter,

With regards to the conditions on my standard offer (diff), I've thought of a bit of an issue. In order to pursue some technical tests over on Test Wikipedia regarding this, I will need to create a second account without +sysop to test the edit filter (some of the filters I have in the works use user groups and edit count as an automatic threshold to identify non-abuse). While the one-account restriction is on English Wikipedia, I believe now that logins are unified, an English Wikipedia account will be automatically attached, thus meaning I can't go ahead with my tests without violating the conditions of my standard offer. You said in the diff above that I could appeal the one-account editing restriction in a year, which is three months from now, and I plan on doing so (to split out most of my AutoWikiBrowser contributions like I did on my old account because it's difficult for edit analysis and it stops every time I get a talk page message), however, what I'm querying in this message is, until then, would it be acceptable to create an account which will not make any edits to any project other than Test Wikipedia for the purposes described in the second diff?

Many thanks,

Yes, that is alright to create the test account, StraussInTheHouse. After you create the account, make your next edit to your userpage here to identify it per WP:VALIDALT. This should also make it stand out to any CU or steward that happens to find themselves in your ranges and hopefully prevent any confusion. Good luck with the tests.

Berean Hunter, I'll do that. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 09:23, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wow

That is a good one. Obviously concert footage + the Voice :P - FlightTime (open channel) 20:39, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I had to watch it several times before realizing it was a hoax. 8^D.

Thanks

I glad someone appreciated it, anyway. Cheers, ——SerialNumber54129 16:20, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IP question

Why did you undo my edits to Greek government-debt crisis? Just to jog your memory I edited the page to reflect the historical consensus, which is that extensive worker benefits for Greek state employees helped balloon the deficit, contributing to the debt crisis. How is this inaccurate? And how does this "constitute vandalism"? Please explain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.29.175.94 (talk) 00:26, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IP Berean reverted this edit which is vastly different from the one you claim to have made. MarnetteD|Talk 00:35, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

block

I notice you blocked 103.214.223.46. This and 49.181.231.154 and Pacificus all seem to be sock puppets from the same source. Why: same editing content, though not current. Hmains (talk) 17:08, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hmains, Pacificus is Red X Unrelated to those IP addresses (wrong continent). They have, however, IP socked elsewhere though.
I've re-blocked the /17 range that 49.181.231.154 belongs to.

Thanks, there seems to be an industry devoted to keeping the Category:Far-right politics in Brazil empty. Or maybe just one editor. Hmains (talk) 03:13, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS 24200

Hi,

Could you please take a look at this UTRS request? It's a CheckUser block and I'd really appreciate some input. You blocked the user. Is this user likely to be the sock that you blocked the IP range for?-- 5 albert square (talk) 22:15, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

5 albert square, this request has already been closed so I didn't check.

Sock of Druckmaschine

Hello Berean Hunter. I think Jahmalm is sock of banned Druckmaschine.

  1. Focusing on the same topics and making similar edits. Please see their edits.
  1. Creating similar articles regarding villages. Compare Druckmaschine: [2][3] [4][5] and Jahmalm [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
  1. Editing same articles which are not known by many Wikipedia editors. See these articles for example [18][19].
  1. Jahmalm moves pages accordingly draft pages created by Druckmaschine [20][21]
  1. Both are from the same country and socked with the ips from the same county. Jahmalm’s main account [22] and ips [23][24][25][26][27]...

IMO, Jahmal is obvious DUCK of Drucksmaschine . They are probably related to this account and this case. 186.156.25.147 (talk) 09:27, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS: They are currently active as an anon [28]. The same location with the sockmater. Moreover, just a few hours before the ip’s edits on language, Jahmalm were editing some pages regarding languages and after the ip’s edits, Jahmalm linked the same article on a page[29]. Blocking (to prevent further block evasion & disruption) and rollbacking (to discourage further sockpuppetry) the ip would be an appropriate action too-they have been socking for a long time and it seems that, that was among their favorite topics [30] Thank you in advance.186.156.25.147 (talk) 07:16, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This should go into an SPI report for proper record keeping and to allow any admins the ability to take action. I don't know if it will be me as I have a few things that I'm looking at and not much time.

SPA IPs

IP 37.138.235.128, 85.16.226.58 and 91.248.142.3 all geolocate to the same area. They are participating in an RfC, so if it is determined to be sock activity, can they be blocked and their comments removed? Atsme 📣 📧 12:23, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those are all me. My ip changes every day, nothing i can do about that. I could make an account, but i don't have to and so i won't. 91.96.118.79 (talk) 13:00, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And also, could you please look at Atsme's behaviour in that RfC while you are at it? Massive battleground behaviour, misrepresenting and twisting of sources, making bogus arguments and just a general wasting of time. All that makes a very toxic atmosphere. 91.96.118.79 (talk) 13:04, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
