Grammeteo818 Sockpuppet questions

Can you please start the Sockpuppet investigations page / SPI of Grammeteo818 since you were the one who blocked the user first? Snyn7 (talk)

Bothiman

Hey there, is there any chance you could check for Bothiman sleepers? Is that super-vague? I saw Lisvanna show up at an article on Vijay to emphatically demand the removal of a source that suggested the latest Vijay film might not have made as much as other sources were claiming. Since our chief Vijay fan is Bothiman, that's got me thinking. They also created a user page, as socks often do, but it's not exactly the same format as Bothiman, so I'm not 100% confident that there is a behavioural match. Any help would be appreciated, as usual. Thanks! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:59, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Page deleted

So I created a page for the technical fest of my college but after being accepted it was deleted. Reason being it's an event but the problem is that there is a category page for these events, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Technical_festivals_in_India There are 30+ pages of the same kind as my page was and there are some pages with hardly any content. The page that I created has citation and was informational but it got deleted anyway. So, I wanted to ask what exactly is different in those pages and my page... I can't link to the page because it's deleted but it was "Titiksha (Fest)" Thank You Shoaib Ahmed 00 (talk) 12:27, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

User:Apples&Manzanas

Hi, suspect this account is a sockpuppet, they started an AFD in their first few edits. Just asking if it reminds you of anyone before I look closer, it reminds me of several blocked editors such as Sheldybett (talk · contribs), regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:01, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Abuse of my in AfD

Please point to any rules in Wikipedia that prevent my perfectly reasonable vote on AfD that you are harassing and abusing me over.MarcelB612 (talk) 05:09, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. BD2412 T 05:31, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

I did not disrupt anything. I engaged appropriately in the AfD voting process, I did not disrupt it. My participation was then disrupted, by Bbb23, to make a point by the way. Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point DOES NOT apply at all to this case. I was not protesting the AfD process. I was not using the AfD process "in a way I felt was consistent, with the aim of making it changed". I am not protesting for any sort of change to Wikipedia's AfD process. Indeed, as I've already stated: I was NOT making a "protest vote". MarcelB612 (talk) 05:40, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

You're more or less on your own there. Doug Weller talk 16:50, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Page wrongly deleted - entekrishi.com

Hi. Why you deleted entekrishi.com page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entekrishi.com that article was deleted in 2015 and restored in 2015 due to the value of that portal. See the news in Indian TV channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFQD-8GJHYU . See the news in NEWS paper https://www.manoramaonline.com/environment/green-heroes/new-gen-agriculture.html . if you want more than I can search and share the links of many news papers. If you dont understand the languages in local news then dont think that the page(entekrishi.com) has no value. I am a Kerala person. I belong to that NGO. We know the value of their portal and the use of that portal in Kerala. That portal is not owned by any privet company or group. That portal is controlled by a NGO of farmers. Please help them to modify the content if they written that page like advertisement. Please restore and if you take issue with any of the content, post in Talk and revise rather than delete. Please please please help farmers in Kerala — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaisonje (talk • contribs) 07:09, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

My page got deleted for "Blatant hoax"

So after making my page of my fictional country (even precise it was, no harm was done), it gets deleted for "blatant hoax". The worst part is that I never said it existed IRL, I said it was fictional. I find this removal very unfair as I also spent hours of work on it. I'd like to appeal this deletion, please. Thank you for your understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brice Tavan (talk • contribs) 14:28, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Exactly so Drmies. You wouldn't see that kind of anarchy in any of the fantasy countries at nationstates.net or iiwiki.us. Cabayi (talk) 17:14, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Q

Hi Bbb--I'm dropping this here because you placed a CU block on Franny3249 (talk · contribs), who I see now was a sock of DinoP5568135 (talk · contribs). I checked an IP that Binksternet suspected was evading a block on Glam metal fan 5150 (talk · contribs), and it's very duckish, but CU led me to Franny. Can you maybe have a look at both accounts, and figure out what's going on? Is Dino clever? Thank you so much, Drmies (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Unless they've moved or on vacation, Glam is  Unrelated.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:38, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Right. But maybe they're cloned. Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes, Bbb. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

More Bothiman crap

Hey man, I just discovered Dindotas who is an obvious Bothiman sock. I don't know why this one didn't show up in recent CU checks, but it's been alive since late November. Could I please ask you to look around for others? I'll block this one. Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:39, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

I didn't see any others. CU checks are not foolproof, particularly when socks use different ranges.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:54, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Request for temporary protection to my user talk page

Would it be possible to request to have temporary protection to my user talk page? Because I've received quite a few messages recently, and none of them were of any value. (If you check the last ones that I've received, you'll know why I've labelled them as not having any value) I was thinking of requesting that my talk page be temporarily protected so that only users with autoconfirmed status and up can post messages on my user talk page. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 11:59, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Same person?

I was looking at Talk:Inter Milan#THE LOGOOOOOO!!! and for some reason my gut was telling me that Kalabio and Super Mirai Trunks might be the same person. Today, Super Mirai Trunks popped up again asking the same weird question! I don't know what's going on, just thought it was weird and let you know if you wanted to investigate, cheers. Govvy (talk) 12:39, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Kalabio hasn't edited since October 15. Super Mirai Trunks didn't start editing until November 7. Other than the intersection on the Talk page, in what other ways have the two users been disruptive? If they were editing at the same time, it would be different.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:17, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

It's more of what is written and how it's written, "I'm an Italian Inter Milan fan, watch out for trolls!!!" written by Kalabio, and "and since I'm an Inter fan, it really bothers me." written by the other guy. Same type of writing style to me, kinda makes me think it's the same person on two different accounts. That's about all I can say. Govvy (talk) 14:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

You're not grasping my point. Assuming they are the same person, is what they are doing sufficiently abusive to constitute socking, particularly since the older account stopped editing before the newer account began?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:36, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Not much on the English wiki contrib... Okay.. nm then! :/ Govvy (talk) 15:58, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Icewhiz

Hi, I noticed some users claimed I may be a sockmaster of Batbash or JoeZ451. Can I initiate a sockpuppet investigation of myself, and if I can, how can I do that?--Paul Siebert (talk) 04:59, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Who besides My very best wishes is accusing you? You can respond at the SPI if you wish, although that kind of back-and-forth is usually unproductive. You cannot request an investigation of yourself, though. "On some Wikimedia projects, an editor's IP addresses may be checked upon their request, typically to prove innocence against a sockpuppet allegation. Such checks are not allowed on the English Wikipedia and such requests will not be granted." (WP:CHK).--Bbb23 (talk) 14:00, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

I'd be surprised if there is a connection, but someone may want to frame you (I don't think MBLV is trying to do this, but maybe someone else has created a sock to make a connection, perhaps just to throw more chaos into this). There is a new account which was discussed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/LoganTheWatermelon/Archive which someone observed may look like someone's attempt to suggest I am socking (a lot of their edits are effectively copying my votes at AfDs with virtually the same rationale). Coincidence? Shrug.

Anyway, I came here to ask Bbb23 about 1) the usefulness of behavioral analysis. In recent SPIs I was involved in it didn't seem to matter; and checkusers don't seem to even comment on whether it is useful or not, it seems simply ignored, with comments limited to 'different IP/proxy=inconclusive'. And if so, 2) what recourse is there when new account that looks behavioraly like an old one to several users use proxies? Are they immune to SPI, despite behavioral evidence? What behavioral evidence is sufficient, outside of the sock plainly saying they are a sock of an old account? And why aren't the proxies they use blocked? TIA. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:52, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Behavioral evidence is mandatory at SPI. The analysis of it vis-a-vis technical evidence varies from report to report, and I cannot give you a one-size-fits-all answer. Proxies are not always blocked; that too varies based on the proxy.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:03, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

I only replied with comments to the ping by Piotrus on SPI. This is probably Batbash. If I wanted to submit an SPI request about any user, I would do it. Not at this point. My very best wishes (talk) 16:15, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

But you also accused Paul of violating policy. If you're not prepared to follow through on that, you shouldn't have done so: it constitutes a personal attack.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:19, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

OK, I clarified my statement on SPI. I do not accuse Paul of violating the policy, and my comments are mostly related to the Joe (the SPI subject) who I think coordinate his activity with editing by Paul; all my comments were made in proper place and supported by diffs. My very best wishes (talk) 16:35, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Amrik Mondal

A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Amrik Mondal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Edit war

Hey there, Bbb23. Thank you again for your response to this report. However, I do have a question on which I'd like to hear your take.

One of the disputed matters was the inclusion of a Hollywood Reporter (THR) citation. As it exists, the article in question, which chronicles the subject's career, contains two citations of two different reviews of two different films from THR–which is a reliable source per WP:RSP. Krimuk2.0 and I could not agree on whether or not another citation from THR that reviews another movie is appropriate. During the discussion, they stated to me: If there are already two THR reviews in the article, find a different one. There are reliable sources apart from Variety and THR, who publish reviews, so I fail to understand this THR obsession other than a need to make a point.

Regardless of whether there are other sources that could verify the disputed information, I'd like to be clear on the topic, thefore, I was wondering whether you could provide guidance regarding whether there could be too many citations from one reliable source in an article. This would clear up a lot of what's being disputed and help our discussion greatly. Thank you again! KyleJoan^talk 07:12, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

I have no interest in getting involved in the content dispute.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:59, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Understood. In that case, I'll see if the other editor would like to request dispute resolution. Thanks again! KyleJoan^talk 14:24, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Firdaus Kharas

Hi Bbb23 hope you are well. I am requesting your assistance with this user Special:Contributions/Vinlev since he's an SPA that seems to be creating, editing, and defending articles about himself (Firdaus Kharas), but I have no way to prove that. Can you please have a look at the situation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Firdaus Kharas? Thank you. Dr42 (talk) 08:59, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
