Beauty pageant LTA

You blocked 2001:4455:42F:F200:A504:BF36:56D4:DA45 as a beauty pageant LTA. His twin iplinks|2001:4453:1e9:7a00:d5d6:d8f1:45b0:7e35 just started editing. I will add to the SPI when I get a chance. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:01, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Striking sock comments

Hey, BH - I vaguely recall a discussion about discussions & socks, but have no clue where to look for it so I'm hoping you can answer my question. When a user participates in a discussion, and is later discovered to be a sock, are we supposed to strike their contributions in that discussion? I know that we don't count their iVote in a survey or RfC but can't remember if we dismiss and strike their contributions in a discussion. Atsme Talk 📧 09:54, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Atsme, very late to the party but you're looking for WP:SOCKSTRIKE. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:47, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, GeneralNotability - interesting that SOCKSTRIKE is only an essay and not one of our PAGs. Do we not have an actual policy or guideline, or official procedure that allows for striking, removing or hatting a comment by or in response to a confirmed sock? What policy or guideline says we should not call a particular user a sock "on an article or user talk page or in any edit summary" because doing so can actually get you in trouble? In the past, when I cited an essay it was completely ignored because essays are not vetted by the community and are merely opinions. Why are these procedures not included in Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry or WP:CIVILITY, especially the instances I mentioned? They certainly are important enough for inclusion, don't you think?

Hope you're doing well

I know that I've emailed you about this, but, again, I hope you are doing well. And if anyone deserves a long break, it's you.

Thank you for all that you have done for Wikipedia. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 02:49, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Blocked?

Hello,

Why did you block me? Something to do with “long term abuse” on a page that doesn’t exist?

Here: 107.77.173.0/24

I would appreciate if you removed the block as I rarely edit anything and certainly don’t abuse anything.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.89.20.230 (talk) 04:41, 5 October 2020 (UTC)


Yes, it also happened to me. But strangely, I can edit articles, I just can't create a new account. It is about sockpuppets... I'm not even a sockpuppet! --テリヤキ (Talk With Me) 20:02, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

You and Martinevans123 are the project's October mysteries. Both of you have gone missing within 2 weeks of each other, and n'er a word to your Wikifriends that you'd be taking a break, not that you have to tell anyone anything, but some of us are fretting quietly in the background. On an optimistic note, enjoy your Wikibreak!! Atsme 💬 📧 23:20, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

New sock of User:Pacific497 ?

Hi, I stumbled across your efforts involving the sock Pacific497, whom you have blocked. I just found something interesting in the history of Internationalist Theatre, the recent edits by Special:Contributions/Volut. What caught my attention was a string of edits at (for me) a very early hour, and the citing of a primary source in an edit that did not seem encyclopedic. As I have no dog in this fight, I'm referring it to you to do with as you will regarding Volut.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:23, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Hoping all is well

The discussion linked just above noted that you've been away for a while. Remembering all of our friendly chats about aquarium fish and other things, I'm just stopping by to say that I hope all is well with you, and I hope to see you around here again as soon as you are ready. Best, --Tryptofish (talk) 19:53, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

I just heard from a post from Dennis Brown, that you're OK and just busy, and I'm very happy to hear it (the OK part, not the busy part, wink, wink). When you have more time, it'll be great to see you back here. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Request to remove move blocks by User:BereanHunter

I have no idea what the IP is on about, User talk:CambridgeBayWeather#Request to remove move blocks by User:BereanHunter. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 12:02, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

There is a never-ending stream of socks trying to promote the work of Angelique Rockas. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Amfithea/Archive, where new socks were blocked just last month. The garbled paragraph where a lot of items are run together is also noted from these socks. (See the SPI for an example). EdJohnston (talk) 20:51, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

to @EdJohnston User:BereanHunter has not operated since October 1 , 2020. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:Contributions/Berean_Hunter How can his administrator`s blocks on proposed articles still hold, or even request his approval? I am not a sockpuppet and want to submit an article on Theatro Technis . Under the suggestion of User talk:CambridgeBayWeather`s I have now opened an account, and when I wanted to submit my draft , Wikipedia suggested that I request permission from User:BereanHunter . If the articles on Theatro Technis that User:BereanHunter deleted were by sockpuppets but had already been approved by the editors , it means that Theatro Technis merits a Wikipedia article . So what is the solution to this problem? Can I submit my draft to you EdJohnston Thank you {Panayotmarkou (talk) 14:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)}

Hello Panayotmarkou. Wikipedia already has some coverage of Theatro Technis as you can see from this search. In particular, see George Eugeniou#Theatro Technis. If you can provide new material that is reliably sourced and seems notable enough to justify a separate article, you can try creating draft of the article in your own user space. Steps for creating an article are given at WP:AFC. If you are actually a sock, a new investigation is likely, due to all the problems we have had since 2017. We still do WP:G5 deletions for articles created by socks. EdJohnston (talk) 15:28, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Good afternoon EdJohnston (talk I took up your suggestion and have posted a Draft:Theatro Technis on my user page for your attention. Thank you {Panayotmarkou (talk) 14:04, 6 March 2021 (UTC)}

Block

Why did you block ‪2600:387:B:982:0:0:0:0/64‬ Ostensibly for “vandalism,” but my only edit was to remove vandalism: someone going around the pages of Mortal Kombat characters and randomly adding the word “bisexual” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.185.205.164 (talkcontribs)

As you can see here [1] there's been a lot of vandalism and threats from the /62 range. You are editing from an IPv4 range right now [2], so thank you for the additional data point. Acroterion (talk) 00:43, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
