Did you know that F5 is the "generate drama" key? Try it! Every time you press it, more drama is auto-generated on Wikipedia.
I hope you find my addition to your talk page aggravating and stressful, just the way you like it! :) Natureium (talk) 20:14, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent editor (11)

They're back again, as can be seen in this edit. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:28, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a little collateral on that IP address, but I blocked it for a month. Hopefully, it won't cause problems. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:30, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quick check on duck

Would you be willing to check RyanSonic2002, who is on their second block for using Grammarly disruptively, against OpenDesignsInOfficial? While the second is already blocked on promotional username grounds, which would be an odd twist, all of their edits appear to be the same pattern as Ryan, against a scattershot of topics. -- ferret (talk) 19:06, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Different continents, though OpenDesignsInOfficial has a couple other accounts (OpenDesignsIn, Opendesignsindai). The OpenDesigns stuff is probably paid editing, for what it's worth. I don't see how these accounts could benefit them, but they tried to create an official "SEO" account or something on the same IP. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:20, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
At least more paid editing sock/meat was found. It felt weird he'd block evade as a clear promotional account, but the timing was oddly lined up as well. -- ferret (talk) 14:12, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly recreated article

Can you check to see if The Assent (film) is a recreation of the deleted The Assent? Seems fishy to me... BOVINEBOY2008 14:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it does seem fishy. It's inescapably similar, but it's not a copy-paste. The original was created by RandomHaiz, a sock puppet of FilmLover2016. FilmLover2016 is usually not too difficult to spot. There's usually a heavy burst of article creations about non-notable films, actors, etc. Most of the citations go to random user-generated websites, self-published blogs, social media, stuff like that. A one-off wouldn't be FilmLover2016. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:17, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks for looking into it! BOVINEBOY2008 15:27, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:BillieLiz

Is it not possible that users like this could be using VPNs or proxies? I still find the coincidences, right down to the usernames, mobile editing, repeated edit summaries of "Unnecessary", the same targets, and image uploads for artists like Taylor Swift very telling. Thank you for checking, anyway, and I'd just like to clarify that I know the correct place to report socks. However, I usually try to avoid SPI unless it's a last resort as when I have posted there in the past, it had taken a week to get an answer from anybody. I guess I'm just used to more immediate answers as from when Ad Orientem was still active here. Ss112 15:22, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you can't avoid the proper noticeboard simply because it's backlogged. And, for what it's worth, people generally don't use proxies. Most editors can't even figure out how to make a ping work properly. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:09, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I understand a lot of users are inexperienced, but Billiekhalidfan was caught out using another account after their main account was blocked, so I don't think they are so inexperienced. Anyway, I suppose you already would have seen if they were using a proxy or VPN when you checked. Ss112 16:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like I was wrong about who they were, but still a sock and now blocked: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joveal George Joshua. Ss112 13:47, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Octoprey

You can take a look at the contributions made by the user, a certain Octoprey that, just registered at the end of December 2020. He has been adding much of the opening sentences of the US voice actors without indicating references that say that one of them appeared in television series and movies in real life, since some of which have a minimum of at least 4 o 5 guest roles. You should also compare the IPs that use which they used their operandis mode to add a term for example actor and voice actor in same sentence and the infobox as if they have one or two occupations if they are to be separated and put together, that for example my recent edition here. In addition, I noted that Octoprey rarely updated or corrected the information tables of the voice roles, live action series and movies, also added the term singer to the actress Ashley Johnson without somewhat news sources (see also here and here).

I think it has the same pattern of IPs of unknown origin or I'm wrong. 179.52.201.223 (talk) 04:18, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I should have recognized Octoprey earlier, but that's TyMega (talk · contribs). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:55, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pulisi

I go back and forth with thinking they're paid or just the subject (their poor spelling doesn't make it any clearer) but Tunedly.com was created by one of the socks you mentioned on their talk, which was part of the Bullaiytro farm. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 20:36, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It could be coincidence, I guess, but my guess is a paid editing ring or something similar. Tunedly was one of the things that made me suspicious. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:02, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

Question

Hi NinjaRobotPirate, maybe you can help me? I feel like being hounded here, there and elsewhere on Wikipedia by a group of users. Since you have experience with this user, perhaps you can give me an advice? Thank you,--Chip-chip-2020 (talk) 18:12, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note, this question was also asked on WP:TEA and answered in detail.[1] Now User:Chip-chip-2020, apparently dissatisfied with the answer, appears to be using the strategy of WP:OTHERPARENT. The edits in question occurred today on Waltzes Op. 70 (Chopin) and its talk page. User:Chip-chip-2020 has subsequently disagreed with the title "scherzos" on Frédéric Chopin. A fortnight or two I created Scherzos (Chopin), where the Library of Congress spelling is used. Smerus[2] has also described User:Chip-chip-2020 as One-track, single-issue, repetitive, editor who objects to other editors disagreeing with him/her. And failing to convince them seeks to present self as victim in the hope that this may advance his/her cause. aka WP:SPA Mathsci (talk) 18:55, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really understand how I fit in. But WP:ANI would probably be the best place to go if someone feels that there's hounding or other disruption going on. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:56, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

24.170.255.67

The IP 24.170.255.67 insists on putting the singing occupation back to the voice actors without indicating exactly the necessary references to demonstrate that they will release their first musical theme (eg Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey) obviously the work of a sockpuppet of a certain TyMega. 148.101.45.208 (talk) 16:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the IP just got off a block for the same thing. Reblocked. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:50, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The IP returns to the attack by repeatedly trying to add the occupation of some voice actors without indicating any type of source as if they had ever sung in animations and accompanying some IPs that appear in different editions, evading the original blocking of the mentioned IP:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/97.33.64.181

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2600:1000:B05D:F2AB:3007:587C:1A8E:3730

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/97.33.106.17

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/97.33.65.27

Those are the ones indicated for now and is there a way to revert all the edits that the IPs made or ask for protection. 148.101.45.208 (talk) 16:41, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Geolocation is a bit off from the other IP, but that's not unusual for a mobile network. The obsession with identifying people as singers looks pretty similar. I range blocked the 97.33 IPs for a week, which should help. I can semi-protect pages if they come back with other IPs. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:16, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanna clear my name on all this, that ip user 97.33.64.181 isn't me. I wasn't invading any sort of block on who ever was using the previous IP's, you got the wrong user. 2600:1000:B043:2CFC:1C0B:E6FF:6689:A913 (talk) 18:17, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is up with editor's edit summaries...

I noticed that you've edited Jeepers Creepers (2001 film) and have also warned this editor. What is up with their edit summaries? Like at this edit summary. They're hiding links within their edit summaries. Seems like this could be a possible opportunity to hide malicious code on WP, etc. I can't think of a good Wiki-reason to do this. They've received notices/warnings about their edit summaries in the past, such as here. They're doing it all over Avengers Infinity War: here & here. I just don't get it. Shearonink (talk) 19:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just weird edit summaries, I think. I haven't any idea why anyone would use edit summaries like that, either. The editor doesn't seem to be a native English speaker, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:16, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I like how they don't answer the question when it is asked... I guess I just don't understand why they do this sometimes-misleading piping within edit summaries. Shearonink (talk) 07:30, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent editor (12)

Yep, still going unfortunately, as seen in this edit. Despite it seeming pointless, I think we've disrupted them enough to force a lot of effort on their part. Plus, I can go several days (sometimes a whole week) without cleaning up any mess. To me, that makes it totally worth the effort on our part! Thanks again! --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:56, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked six months this time. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid MasonKim has popped up again as 2601:5C4:4301:56D0:656D:2A98:A003:79CB (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) as seen with this edit [3].—JlACEer (talk) 22:28, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How dare you block public Wifi IP Addresses!

How dare you block public Wifi IP Addresses during the pandemic! You must not be "Notable". I hope all your internet Censorship attempts result in the Streisand_effect. 68.186.47.251 (talk) 22:51, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
