Earl of Sutton Coldfield
Hello, regarding the investigation request I raised at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mr Hall of England/Archive, I just wanted to note that the content of the user's deleted page List of peers retired and removed under the House of Lords Reform Act 2014, was taken from the edit history of House of Lords Reform Act 2014, including both Mr. Hall of England's edits as well as others with that list being removed following the talk page discussion Talk:House of Lords Reform Act 2014. I just wanted to bring it up because, though I feel there is enough similarity between their editing patterns to suggest a link, I'm not sure the content of that deleted page alone is enough to determine whether they're a sock puppet. I just wanted to bring that up in case I accused something who may have been innocent of what I suspected them. Since you have better resources to determine whether or not this is the case, I trust your output on this, it's just something I wanted to get off my chest. 98.228.137.44 (talk) 19:11, 22 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this. I still think the overlap, tenacity, using the talk page as a sandbox and general "I didn't hear that" behaviour is enough to consider them a sockpuppet. DatGuyTalkContribs 22:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for blocking. Being the sock is using my real name, per WP:OUTING I would appreciate it if there's some way to change the account name permanently. oknazevad (talk) 22:18, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Also is an obvious sock and needs a revdel edit summary. oknazevad (talk) 23:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Sorry
Hi DatGuy, I'm sorry about this one. I had already come to the same conclusion and was just going to revert my report. Usually the cases of this particular master are so straightforward, but here I failed to observe due diligence before reporting. Thanks for the quick response anyway! ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 14:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries. DatGuyTalkContribs 14:03, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
I am sure you know this already but y'know, awareness and all that. Selfstudier (talk) 19:09, 17 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Heh, I've probably protected a multitude of pages under I-P, but no worries. DatGuyTalkContribs 19:12, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

New message from Jo-Jo Eumerus
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/あすぺるがあすぺしゃりすと. &#x0020;Mostly in case it changes anything. The editing pattern is somewhat generic and I don't know if the LTA case alluded in the lock reason is the same as the SPI case. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Why did you block me?
I have just found out that you may have blocked me for no apparent reason. Why? 31.185.240.156 (talk) 19:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Well you're writing here then you seemingly aren't blocked are ye? Regardless, when I block an account a template is added to the user's talk page explaining the reason for the block. DatGuyTalkContribs 19:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
