Deleonsneedbyrd suspected socking

Hi Ponyo, I suspect LINK ENERGY is a sock of Deleonsneedbyrd given User:LINK ENERGY/sandbox is the same non-sense. If you prefer an SPI report, just say the word. Hope you are enjoying the holidays! S0091 (talk) 22:55, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Adding AUSTIN LAKES HOSPITAL and COVERT BUICK AUSTIN, see User:AUSTIN LAKES HOSPITAL/sandbox and User:COVERT BUICK AUSTIN/sandbox respectively. S0091 (talk) 23:22, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

@S0091: I've been away for a while and will only be available for brief bursts this week, so best to put it all in an SPI. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:12, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protect?

Hello, Ponyo! I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you think Elizabeth Peratrovich should be at least semi-protected? She featured as today's Google Doodle, and I'm seeing a lot of editing by non-registered users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coffeesweet (talk • contribs) 17:19, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

I was away when you posted this. For future requests WP:RFPP is a better venue.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Oversight request

Hello Ponyo, Wish many HAM your way in 2021! Could you please revdel the following couple of diffs: 1 2: Thank you! Infinity Knight (talk) 13:35, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Why?-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:14, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Per WP:OUTING. There is a reason why CU is a small group of trusted Wikipedia users. I have never publicly disclosed personal info. Still, in diff #1 CU comments publicly on geo location of the account comparing it to the one of the IP. And diff #2 demonstrates this info could be used for harassment. Thank you, Infinity Knight (talk) 06:06, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Oshwah wasn't comparing your account to the IP, he was commenting on your possible relationship with the suspected account Galkalam. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:26, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Interesting, how about diff #2 then? Guess the combative account misunderstood Oshwah? It appears your interpretation of the Oshwah's statement is not the only one, based on the provided evidence. Infinity Knight (talk) 11:21, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Checkusers don't link IPs to accounts in SPIs; if that's what Saucysalsa30 thinks happened there, they're wrong. If you think there has been a privacy violation then this is where you should make the request.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:39, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I see, thank you, Infinity Knight (talk) 18:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the tag Ponyo, but I don't have much to input on this. While it is a little suspicious that the user is requesting Oshwah's CU comment that the accounts under SPI were in the same geographic location to be deleted, I guess that's another matter. As for the comment I made in the second diff, it was to an admin that had direct experience with combative behavior by the user in question, basically to query any insight they may have had on the matter. Thanks! Saucysalsa30 (talk) 02:27, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Block evasion / sock?

user:InsulinRS popped up on my watchlist recently as a "new" user who seemed to know a lot about Wikipedia policy and procedures and who instantly found his way into multiple edit wars and copyright violation issues. He's already been issued dozens of warnings and been blocked twice since registering as a new user only a month ago, with a steady stream of personal attacks and rudeness in for the bargain. A little research leads me to believe that it's the same person who was blocked at user:2601:447:4100:C120:0:0:0:0/64 and has also edited at user:2601:447:4080:10:38A5:3EE9:89C3:DD76 - the edited articles & article topics overlap quite a bit, and the combative style is the same.

Just an FYI since you were the admin who blocked the IP user back in July... Zeng8r (talk) 20:20, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

The IP address blocked is not mine.InsulinRS (talk) 20:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I've blocked InsulinRS as a sock of JoeScarce. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:35, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Ponyo, might want to look at 75.72.37.65 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Elizium23 (talk) 00:07, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

There's nothing to be done with old dynamic IPs.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Ponyo, OK, where shall I report the new ones? Elizium23 (talk) 00:19, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

I started Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JoeScarce to make it easier for everyone.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:27, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Multiple accounts

I very recently saw two identities and one IP that I suspect are the same person, writing about himself in part. Could you please take a look? I don't know how to proceed with guidance, considering BITE/AGF - the first username's creation (Draft:Angelist101) could be a spoof. Angelist101 (talk · contribs), Danny-brooks101 (talk · contribs), 81.102.225.130 (talk · contribs). Thx.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 02:12, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Is there a Doctor in the house? Oh yes, there is. Thank you Drmies for taking care of this.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:54, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Haha sure thing! Ponyo it's cooooooold here! Drmies (talk) 17:01, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Does it get cold there?! Maybe a nice hot bowl of ramen to warm the insides?-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:15, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm out of ham. :( Drmies (talk) 17:24, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

MadhavEsen

Hello Ponyo, I noticed that you CU blocked MadhavEsen yesterday. Sorry to bother you, but would you be able to tell me the master of the account since that was one of the accounts mentioned at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/EunikaSylviane? Thanks, Pahunkat (talk) 09:47, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I don't know who the master is, I just blocked it as another one of the sock accounts targetting User talk:Realjamesh. There are no possible ranges to check as they're using dynamic (and dodgy) ranges on multiple ISPs to create the accounts. These are the cases where WP:RBI and liberal protection are the best tools.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:59, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Possible vandalism

Hello, could you please do something about this user: read here? It's not the first time he's doing this kind of thing. Thanks. Taurus Littrow (talk) 13:47, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Not vandalism, but such unsupported ethic categories do violate various policies and guidelines, of which they are well aware. I've left a clear reminder on their talk page.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks much. They (various users, not just Sanya3, who's a man, btw) keep adding this category to Ivanishin's page, and I can't possibly understand why. Theoretically, he could have Ukrainian roots (millions of Russians do), but so far I found no source backing this. His only connection to Ukraine is that he tried to enter a pilot school in Chernigov back in the 1980s, but that's all. Best regards. Taurus Littrow (talk) 17:24, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Tranny

Thank you for locking the page. That lengthy history of disruption you noted consists of promotional content copied again and again from [1]. Someone from Manila really wants to hype this movie. I'm happy to ask for rev/deletion at ANI if you suggest. Cheers, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:53, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I already revdeleted a couple of harassment/threat edit summaries. I didn't realize that the content included copyvios, I'll take care of those too.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:57, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. As far as I can tell it goes back at least to November 11 [2]. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:01, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

block question

Would you move Yang Yang (scientist, educator) back to the correct dab? And my technical question is if you block an editor from an article and then it moves, are they still blocked? Hadn't thought about that. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 20:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Where do you want me to move it? No problem doing it, just want to make sure it goes where you want it to. I'll modify the block as needed once it's moved.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:12, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I believe Yang Yang (scientist) is the correct title. Thanks! GRINCHIDICAE🎄 20:13, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Nick got to it first. He must be a newer model admin with shinier buttons than me.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:15, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Can you please revision delete revisions 999246990 to 999257530 on Usernames for Administrator Attention?

Hi Ponyo. I would like to let you know that on WP:UAA there is a series of revisions that contain a username that is blatantly racist, antisemitic and Neo-Nazi and openly calls for violence. When I checked, the user has likely been deleted from the user creation log for being extremely violent. Can you please delete the following revisions: revision 999246990 to revision 999257530 on WP:UAA. I removed the terrible username from UAA. Train of Knowledge (Talk) 08:06, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

 Done-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

User:108.88.82.1 not likely to self-correct

I've been watching this IP since December 2020, He is recalcitrant, belligerant and ignorant of how Wikipedia works. He seemed bad back in December, but lately is much worse, attempting to block another user. I cannot imagine the decision process which gave him yet another go at Wikipedia. Not pleasant to contemplate the further volunteer effort to be frittered away on this loser who erases his Talk page daily.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:29, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

108.88.82.1 is an complete troll Gpshshdhe (talk) 15:13, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

You must be mistaken, Gpshshdhe. User:108.88.82.1 attempts to improve Wikipedia in subject areas which fascinate him, but has a profound problem with understanding the point of view of entities other than himself. In fact, I would say that his personal deficiencies render him WP:CIR. In need of a diversion, unintentionally wrecking Wikipedia appears to be his latest preoccupation. He creates work for others wherever he goes on Wikipedia, without (usually) intending to do so. He validates himself through changing Wikipedia, and, sadly, is 100% resistant to accepting that others take strong issue with the manner in which he does so.--Quisqualis (talk) 16:10, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

dude it was a joke Gpshshdhe (talk) 16:25, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Pretzel / Chocolate Butterfly

Hi, I saw you looked into "Pretzel butterfly" and "Chocolate butterfly"; there's an odd account going around accusing people of personal attacks and generally WP:POVPUSHing in the same category area that was just created two days ago? [3] Thanks, IHateAccounts (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

@IHateAccounts: If you believe the accounts are related, please open an SPI.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:53, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

The accounts are related but fall into WP:VALIDALT. See my explanation in User_talk:Pretzel_butterfly#Courtesy_vanishing. In essence, I deleted my password because I wanted to leave Wikipedia forever, and changed my mind. As I can't get into Pretzel butterfly, and Chocolate butterfly is now blocked, I am editing from this account. Feel free to let me know if there's anything else I should keep in mind to stay above board with the community. Benevolent human (talk) 02:11, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I misread. The account IHateAccounts linked to above is _not_ mine. Pretzel Butterfly, Chocolate Butterfly, and this account are mine. Benevolent human (talk) 04:03, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Possible sock?

Could you take a look at this diff? The user says they are circumventing a block, so naturally I was wondering if a CU could confirm.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 23:56, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

User:AutoJosh1

Hi Ponyo, can you keep an eye on this user edits? It seems the only reason he/she is here is for promoting his/her website by adding links across articles and templates. He/she may get bored, as it isn't a very active account. I'm on the fence about the username, it may considered promotional as it's combined with linkspamming, but maybe not... Regards. --Urbanoc (talk) 22:00, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

That's just blatant spam. I've given a stronger worded warning than the templated one you left; let's hope it ends there. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:08, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

That's Evlekis

Yeah, I figured it out pretty quick and yanked talk page access.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:21, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Ponyo. I don't know where or how they formed that image of me, but it does make identifying them really easy combined with their username. Pahunkat (talk) 13:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Possible IP for Evelynkwapong539

The user history of this IP address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2.25.166.100 seems very similar in tone to User:Evelynkwapong539, who has sock puppeted twice as User:Kof4490 and User:Memeacus. Just thought I'd bring this to light since they've been a constant editor over at Looney Tunes Cartoons.

Noelephant (talk) 04:16, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Update, it's definitely them. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Looney_Tunes_Cartoons&diff=prev&oldid=1002199701
