Bias and Abuse of Moderator Status wrt to Alleged Douma Chemical Attack in Syria

I'm sorry, but how are you qualified as a moderator with the ability to lock down a page by disputing a source, when the source is the SOURCES OWN WEB PAGE which provides a list of their funding channels. Bellingcat is a self-admitted United States propaganda channel.

Are you on the payroll of the State Department or one of its numerous Think Tanks? I question your objectivity. 173.230.187.144 (talk) 06:51, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • You are engaging in original research and a bit of synthesis there. The consensus on the talk page is to leave the Bellingcat sources alone and that doesn't include some conspiracy theorist IP coming along and trying to manhandle that page. You haven't really produced any sources to convince the other editors there of anything...and it will take consensus to effectuate any changes that you are trying to make. Produce proper sources and discuss with the other editors there.

You are engaging in pedantry and trying to obscure the fact that Bellingcat is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, a US federally funded propaganda tool. Is Bellingcat's own "ABOUT" page not a direct and relevant source? Why are you happy to publish their articles and accept them at face value, but not willing to accept their own "ABOUT" page. Defend your bipolar actions. I'm not convinced your qualified to objectively manage this page. Who do I contact to review your moderating actions? 173.230.187.144 (talk) 07:06, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There was an RFC that the source should stay and I'm an admin that is enforcing that consensus. You don't get to undermine that source without some form of consensus. There was also a RSN thread that formed a consensus that it is reliable. You are claiming something against that on the talk page and that is where you will need to discuss with your fellow editors and if you can convince them then you will have consensus. I moved your thread to the bottom where it belongs. Your sharp POV editing and edit warring (I now see that you are blocked for that) is unwelcome.

User:Kansascitt1225

Hello, a suspected sockpuppet of User:Kansascitt1225 has asked me to refer to you for his claim that he was unblocked previously and should not receive a block for this new sockpuppet. Can you weigh in? Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:19, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what he is talking about, Eagles247.

This new sockpuppet of the usual Mexican TV hoaxer has just mde an appearance on eswiki. He is yet to do something anywhere else but I'm sure he's more than ready.--MexTDT (talk) 04:56, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

86.24.216.121

Further to this ANI disucssion, 86.24.216.121 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is still refusing to update dates when updating stats... GiantSnowman 10:46, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GiantSnowman, I hardblocked for six months. If he starts to communicate and gives assurances that he won't repeat the behavior then we can consider unblocking him.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 11:28, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lovely, many thanks. GiantSnowman 12:26, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock please.

Fried baloney

I just wanted to tell you that every time I go on Wikipedia with a thought to editing something, I get a sick feeling in my stomach. People do not ask to be born into certain groups, and I was raised in public schools to believe that everyone's story, everyone's history, is legitimate, it happened. It can be interpreted it different ways, as can anything; points of view change. You have basically told me that my history, my point of view of my history, is illegitimate, because I as a Jew met the wrong person on a train. I hope you have a happy life destroying other people's lives. I will not communicate with you again and will not have anything further to do with editing Wikipedia. MatildaQ22MatildaQ22 (talk) 14:33, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, the unblock "condition that you will not edit Israeli/Palestine conflict or Zionist/Anti-Zionist material" has destroyed your life has it? Exaggerate much? Your persecution complex is a bunch of baloney as well. You sound like a sock and if you veer away from the conditions of the unblock, you will be blocked. Further, I can rescind my unblocking of you if you are dissatisfied with the terms that you agreed to.

Tirgil34's activity on Wiktionary and other projects

Hi. Would you please submit a global block for all Tirgil34's sockpuppets (both confirmed and suspected). Some of his socks are still active and he uses them; e.g. a case like Special:Contributions/Hirabutor (blocked on EN WP) but still active on Wiktionary and uses his sockpuppet for personal attacks like this. The odd thing is Wiktionary admins and some other users of that project are aware of his LTA case & non-stop sockpuppetry BUT they still allow him editing there. As you already know, Tirgil34's case is not limited to EN WP and it's global. That nationalist troll has infected other projects too; from others WPs like German and Russian to Wiktionary and Commons. Thanks. --Wario-Man (talk) 05:17, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may make the request yourself here, Wario-Man. I recommend that you only list the active accounts (within the last 90 days) and link back to the SPI case as was done in this request. By listing active accounts, the stewards may find other active, undiscovered accounts including those that haven't edited here. I would not list all of the old accounts. If older accounts go active at some point then make new requests at that time.
I'm a bit busy but it is better to teach you how to fish anyway.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 13:21, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late reply. Wiktionary is not my concern especially after the recent incident and the way they treat that sockmaster. If they think he's good for their project, then they can do whatever they want. My concern is not even blocking him because he will return to EN WP as usual. Also I'm sure that many of his accounts are still unblocked; e.g. see [1][2]. My main concern is WP & WMF should take a threat like him seriously. Have you seen how he attacks WP via his website, YT channel, and some internet forums? He's not a typical sockpuppetry or LTA case in my opinion. It's a dedicated agenda/quest and he may be a paid shill. It's even possible that there is a team or organized group behind that account. I think that's the reason why he's angry and frustrated that he's exposed on EN WP. Why he never stops? Have you seen someone who comes here and always repeat same things again and again which are already exposed? It's a non-stop nationalistic agenda/project/quest without a doubt. --Wario-Man (talk) 07:22, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Tirgil34/Hirabutor has been mocking you at Wiktionary too, Berean Hunter.[3] He's continuing his attacks on other Wikipedias such as myself, and has declared his intention to "restore all of my edits".[4] I for one do not have the permission to file a request at Steward requests/Global. If anyone with permission to do so would be filling to file a request, i'd be happy to prepare the request in advance. A global lock for Hirabutor would sufficent at the current moment. Krakkos (talk) 10:38, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wario-Man and Krakkos, my apologies as I didn't realize that because of your low edit counts at meta, you lacked the confirmed status there to be able to edit the global requests page. Both of you should make your userpages and talk pages there and other edits so that this won't be an obstacle to you in the future. See m:User talk:Wario-Man and m:User talk:Krakkos.
  • I have made the request to lock Hirabutor on the checkuser mailing list. He was indeed confirmed as a sock and I didn't realize that was Tirgil34 that made the comment on Oct 28 on my user talk page at wiktionary. That follows my Oct. 25 report of his sockfarm in our Tirgil34 SPI case here and so it makes sense now.

About the IP addresses in 130.126.255.0/24

Berean Hunter, I've seen that you have blocked the group of IP addresses represented in 130.126.255.0/24 stating that they are all sockpuppets. The group of IP addresses are actually those of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, so the IP addresses represent roughly forty-thousand students and faculty, rather than a single person. Arlene Foster (talk) 21:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Hmm that's a lot of CU blocks... are you competing with Bbb? Good work--and thank you for being accessible and answering all my questions. Drmies (talk) 02:51, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Drmies. No, I don't think that I make as many as Bbb23...I haven't looked actually. There are just that many socks needing to be blocked.

Les Green

Hi

I’m afraid that I have no idea why you have banned me. I was simply trying to update my late father’s page, given that his uncle was also a professional footballer and has a page. I was asked to undertake this by members of my family at a funeral yesterday.

I have no idea what squelch socking and these various other terms mean. I simply tried to set up an account and was repeatedly told that my selected user name was too similar to others. Finally upon trying 6 times Wiki locked me out and you have banned me.

I am not a troll/serial mis-information editor. I am simply someone trying to update my late father’s page with family and relevant information.

I respectfully ask to be unbanned and if you can provide guidance on setting up a proper profile it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
