An obscure previous block
[edit]Hi Izno. You know how sometimes an old block can turn up again like a bad meal? I was reviewing Special:Diff/1267232330 at EFFPP, and couldn't help but notice that the last time this filter struck in this way was with RickRolled76 - obviously related. That doesn't look like an excellent block to me. Further, I notice that it was reported at AIV here. I'd recommend viewing the CU log (and related) for this IP - it's notorious for poor AIV reports. Could you revisit this block to undo any potential complications with the current account? Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 05:11, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- That block does look bad, yes. Unblocked shortly. Izno (talk) 19:29, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Query
[edit]Hello, Izno,
I was just wondering about your block of the very new account Moopaz. For two day old account, they seemed to know a lot about editing on the project but their edits didn't seem that promotional to me. Did you think they were a sock or a paid editor? Thanks for any additional information you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 23:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Liz, we have at least one sock group running around lately that will do that kind of AFD editing with a clear spread of topics otherwise (all BLPs though). The editing is a UPE tactic to appear legitimate before attempting to save target topics of their own. I couldn't pin the Moopaz account directly to an existing sock farm technically but they had a confirmed sock doing the same thing at Wagdar, so I issued the promo block. It would have been a sock block if I could point to the exact SPI where I've had to go over the same behavior. There is in fact a filter tracking this behavior now (see Moopaz's filter log), so it ended up at AIV via bot report, which is how I found it. Izno (talk) 23:25, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello Izno, I need your help
[edit]Hi @Izno, We have interacted before.
1) I am a good faith editor whose start on Wikipedia might have been not that good but I am getting better and now editing the space in good faith.
2) The enforcement started as a retaliation as mentioned by me in the discussion here.
3) I have edited on Wikipedia and in the past month, we can not find a single instance where I indulged in vandalism or POV pushes as mentioned in the enforcement.
I request you to Kindly share your opinion in the discussion.
Note: I am currently undergoing my semester exams in university till 15th jan, might not respond swiftly. I respect your fair-mindedness and have a good faith that you will take side of Justice.
Thank You ! PPicazHist (talk) 07:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
...but you don't have to check it, you can just delete it. Apparently someone finally did it and I should have checked one more time. Sorry to bother you. mftp dan oops 16:41, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
