Spi

[edit]

Hello. I saw this Spi and had some things to say. While it's possible this is one user, doesn't it appear more likely a case of having additional undisclosed accounts or simply forgetting passwords? Because the first account hasn't even edited since June, and the second one with questionable username hasn't edited since August. I think they just forgot passwords, assuming it's the same user. It's interesting I had reported a similar case of socking and while in my case it was clearly same person (as confirmed/blocked in a different project Spi), the clerk of en-wiki decided to not block the accounts because "Simply using multiple accounts, even if not disclosed, is not automatically sockpuppetry" and "evidence of misuse on this project is required".

I think this principle applies here too because I don't think there is evidence of misuse in Armen888 Spi (again assuming this is one person). And while I agree one of the usernames is problematic, is it enough to block for POV pushing all 3 users? And lastly, "native_name" additions did seem a bit excessive, but again is it enough to indeff users? It's not like they were adding it to random articles, looks like they were just adding it to Armenian articles and in several cases the actual names were already there, they just added missing templates [1].

They're welcome to make an unblock request. Armeniansarebest received a number of warnings shortly before switching their account, and Nakhararakan has denied that they are the same user (even though it's extremely obvious). This does not look like a case where they forgot their password. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Armen888 SPI

[edit]

Since this SPI is closed, I was wondering if I should file a new SPI due to an IP editing(46.71.234.8) along the same articles as users Armen888, Armeniansarebest, and Nakhararakan.


A similar IP address (46.71.135.207) posted on my talk page continuing a conversation started by user:Nakhararakan. Both IPs geolocate back to the same place. I believe this is Nakhararakan avoiding a block.--Kansas Bear (talk) 01:46, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked the more recent IP for a week. If they continue I may have to make a wider range block. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same behavior profile from another IP: 46.71.89.45 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). No one else is obsessed with replacing links to Armenia with links to Armenians. He's not going away easily. Let me know if there's a better place to report these. Daask (talk) 17:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]


A similar IP46.71.29.196 has canvassed Yevevantsi, concerning the ethnicity of David the Invincible. Two socks of Armen888 had previously edited this article.[2][3]
This IP is blocked user:Armen888. David's ancestry was removed initially by Srnec. Which was reverted by a sock of Armen888(Armeniansarebest). --Kansas Bear (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October music

[edit]
story · music · places

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today brought a timely promotion of Helmut Bauer to the Main page on the day when pieces from Mozart's Requiem were performed for him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:16, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made Leif Segerstam my big story today. -Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:13, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates

[edit]

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
  • October 22–24 - Discussion phase
  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
  • The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list.

Unblock pls

[edit]

The last guy blocked me from editing cause I wanted to help And now u extended it cause apparently I use vpn when I don't use vpn. This is either a mistake or u guys just can't accept the simplest challenge to ur authority 103.242.20.171 (talk) 18:09, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I'm going to assume that you are accidently using this IP instead of the IP/account you are blocked from. You should use the {{unblock}} template on the talk page of the account/IP you are blocked on while using that account/IP, and try to understand and communicate with the blocking admin about why you were blocked, instead of guessing that the blocking admin is responding to a challenge to their authority with a block.
