Help needed on SPI

 * WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Alex79818
 * Hello D, please see above, note that a couple of us regular editors (including 2 Admins) are quite sure that this is the real mcoy but T had stated it is stale, thus denying a CU, which is understandable. Problem is, the behavioural pattern are too similar for us to ignore and so is the IP range/exact expiration of block on IP for Alex with the immediate resumption of WP:Disruptive editing/WP:Tendentious editing by Aben. Could you or any patrolling Admin/CU please give it a wee bit of look into, as it has been dragged out long enough. Thanks~! -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 23:46, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure exactly what it is that you're asking me to do. Can you be a bit clearer about that, please? --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 09:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Apologies for my cloudiness, TNXMan had turned down the CU but could you take a look and give it a second then comment? IMO, the drama has dragged on for too long. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 10:16, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The checkuser was declined because there is no data there to check. It is simply not possible for the sockmaster account to be checked. That's what the tag means. --(ʞɿɐʇ)  ɐuɐʞsǝp 10:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)


 * That I understand perfectly but what about blocking the accused based on the strong behavioural evidence? -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 11:05, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Since I am a checkuser, I prefer for admins to handle things like that. Separation of powers. I only act as an admin on an SPI case if it is strictly necessary. An admin will get around to it soon. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 11:07, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Roger that, clear as a whistle now. Thanks~! -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 11:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)


 * On another note, I'm not really sure what to make of this? Would you actually entertain such strange request? -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 12:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * No. To quote the checkuser policy, "On some Wikimedia projects, an editor's IP addresses may be checked upon his or her request, especially to prove innocence against a sockpuppet allegation. Such requests are not accepted on the English Wikipedia". If you know what you're doing, it's more than possible to completely fool and evade the checkuser tool and then ask to be checked knowing that the results will be a false negative. As such, we do not accept these kinds of requests. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 14:50, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigations/TheREALCableGuy
Since the sock is "proven", shouldn't the main account be blocked for sockpuppetry? -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 10:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It's just my job to comment on the request for checkuser. It's better for a normal admin to handle non-checkuser requests, and I'm someone will get to it soon. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 10:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Might want to archive your talk page some, it is really slowing down when typing and saving. -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 10:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was just being lazy. Your comment finally convinced me that I should do it. ;-) --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 10:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I let my talk page go for a couple months too. Gotta keep on myself to keep it clean. :)  As to the other thing, I will find the admin who blocked the user's IP last (making it a sock) and ask him/her what should be done.  Have a Good Day... Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 10:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a quick follow-up, I checked the block log and have contacted the admin who first connected the two accounts. You can comment on what I wrote here.  Take Care... Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 10:34, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

My userpages
Could you restore them, as they are being randomly deleted. I would also like my userpage back to what it was before it was removed. ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 21:46, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Imperial College, London
Please explain to me why Imperial College, London, is not yet hardblocked, indef, until such time as it gets it's network under control. Provide examples of collateral damage that outweigh. Thanks.
 * Please be a bit more polite. I do not respond to queries with such tone. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 13:31, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Please don't assume tone, as I don't intend tone. I'd like you to explain, as the most recent checkuser to have reviewed Imperial College, London, the home of outrageous racist troll and vandal MikeMikeV, why you left Imperial College, London, totally free to edit and create new accounts. I assume you found example of new accounts being created by Imperial College, London that are contributing positively, or anonymous edits from Imperial College, London, that are non-vandalistic. I'd like to see some examples, because, honestly, defaming the recently dead is amongst the most offensive things possible. Hipocrite (talk) 13:47, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, no tone assumed. I assume you are referring to this checkuser case? I actually was not acting as a checkuser on that case and did not run any checks. I was simply closing the case as it was submitted with the intention of putting something on record only. When I have run any checks, I make it quite clear on the case. I can investigate the possibility of placing a range block later, but for now I'm a little busy doing something else. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 13:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Your assumption is correct. Is the appropriate place to ask for a range block WP:AN? Shitting on the biography of the recently dead is offensive - shitting on the biography of a recently dead wikipedian should have serious repercussions. Imperial College, London, has allowed Mikemikev access to this site for far too long - there is no reason why it's lax policies with respect to computer access make it's entire network any different than an open proxy. Hipocrite (talk) 13:53, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Given the potential collateral damage, I think this should really be left to a checkuser so they can investigate the potential collateral damage, and possibly see if a smaller range can be found to block. I am happy to do this, but it will have to be this evening, as I'm working right now and only get a couple of minutes between running my simulations. One thing you could try, however, is to contact the ICL IT staff and see if they'll do anything about it. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 14:07, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Have you looked into this? Please review Sockpuppet_investigations/Mikemikev, the most recent abuse by Imperial College, London. Hipocrite (talk) 11:42, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Can we not contact Imperial College with the IP address, dates and times so they can work out who is doing this? The edits about Slrubenstein were beyond the pale. SlimVirgin (talk) 14:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I did actually suggest as much in my message above. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 14:36, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't see that. SlimVirgin (talk) 14:47, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Review . Hipocrite (talk) 14:52, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Er, yes? I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 14:55, 15 March 2012 (UTC)


 * (passing comment) I'm of the opinion that Slrubenstein's user & talk pages as well as his article should be semi-protected to deny the disruption. I don't think that those edits should even have the chance to get into the edit history. <b style="color:#00C">⋙–Ber</b><b style="color:#66f">ean–Hun</b><b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b>  15:47, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I've blocked 155.198.0.0/16 anon. only, account creation blocked for 1 month. You should probably still get on to Imperial College London about getting his access to the internet revoked though, because I can't just block the IP range forever, and I'm probably not going to be willing to extend the block should it expire. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 19:34, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll take that silence as gratitude, then... --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 21:40, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Deskana, I'm sorry, thank you for doing that. He has been back since as, currently blocked for 48 hours, and , blocked for three months as a proxy. But your range block will have made a big difference, so thanks again. SlimVirgin (talk) 21:58, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Improvements on SPI filings
Hi Deskana, I had been following along in your conversation on WT:SPI about users not proffering a wall of text but rather making concise reports. How am I doing in that regard? I'm open for constructive criticism on making improvements. Along the same lines, it may be a good idea to have examples of good reports and bad reports (even if fictional) for filers to see and understand what they should be doing. A FAQ may also help. <b style="color:#00C">⋙–Ber</b><b style="color:#66f">ean–Hun</b><b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b> 15:41, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Your report was pretty much spot on. It kind of illustrates my confusion with people complaining that compiling diffs takes "too much time" but then they write several paragraphs of text on an SPI report; your report was almost certainly quicker to compile than the time it takes to write a quite detailed amount of text. I'm in agreement with you on providing an example case. I think I may use that one you just wrote and perhaps the Mikemikev one that Mathsci wrote as examples of just how easy it really is. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 20:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Cheers. Your feedback is appreciated. If you see something in a future report that can be improved just let me know. <b style="color:#00C">⋙–Ber</b><b style="color:#66f">ean–Hun</b><b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b>  15:39, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

ConfirmAccount extension
Hey :). You're being contacted because you are involved in the ACC process, or participated in the original discussion in '08 about the ConfirmAccount extension. This is a note to let you know that we are seeking opinions on switching this extension on, effectively making the ACC process via the Toolserver redundant. You can read all the details here; I would be very grateful if people would indicate how they feel about the idea :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigations/Richard Daft
Hi, Deskana. My apologies for my part in the argument which you have quite rightly deleted from the SPI talk page. Please note that I have already raised an SPI about the troll who posted that section under Sockpuppet investigations/Richard Daft. He is a long-term offender and is yet again evading his block. I would like to have his current IP blocked (I realise the geolocation problems with British IP addresses) as he is very active at present and I am now his primary target for abuse. Kind regards. --Jim Hardie (talk) 12:20, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Abuse Filter on the Article Feedback Tool
Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.

For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:13, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Dannyboy1209
Hi Deskana. As the admin who blocked User:Dannyboy1209 2, I'm a little disappointed about this, to be honest. If someone was indeed impersonating the guy for laughs, it's simply wrong of us to leave the sockpuppet banner on Dannyboy1209's userpage, regardless of the fact that he earned himself a competence/immaturity block. That's the difference it makes. I hope you will reconsider. 28bytes (talk) 16:10, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand your predicament and I share your opinion that if it is an impersonator then it's not fair to the user being impersonated. That said, our opinions are irrelevant, as checking an account to decide whether or not a sockpuppet banner should be on the userpage of an account is not an appropriate usage of the checkuser tool and does not meet the criteria of the checkuser policy. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 17:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed this, and just wanted to say "thanks." I'm glad Floquenbeam was able to point to an aspect of it I hadn't considered. 28bytes (talk) 15:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:StarTrekArmadaIICaseArt.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:StarTrekArmadaIICaseArt.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

IP check question
Do you have the ability to check whether a particular IP address has been used by a registered user if you have sufficient probable cause to do so? (I've already checked for IP user contributions from the address in question - there weren't any.) mwalimu59 (talk) 14:37, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I do. However, it is almost certain that I wouldn't be able to tell you the results of the check. I would be able to act on the results of the check myself though, if I saw fit. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 14:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay... I made this edit on 6/8 a 04:11 UTC, to which a reply was posted at 04:22 UTC.  At 04:27 UTC I received a highly derogatory and profane reply to a post at my LiveJournal account.  The post was anonymous but the IP address was visible.  The post screened and therefore not publicly visible but I'm willing to temporarily unscreen it if you wish to verify it and see what was said, although I don't know if the IP address will be visible to anyone but me.  The IP address on the post is 76.74.158.171.  While I can't prove a correlation, the timing is highly suspect.  mwalimu59 (talk) 20:52, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * As a general principle the off-site behaviour of users is not actionable on the wiki. Adding in that Badmachine is currently indefinitely blocked, there's no need for a check at this time. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 20:57, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for closing down the spectacle at User talk:Badmachine. What do you think about removing that post you just replied to? Whether the claims are accurate is not relevant as they are not actionable here. I am confident that the claims are just trolling (regardless of the content of the claimed chat) and would recommend replacing them with a diff link showing the post so those interested can see it. It is likely that a lot more WP:DENY will be required before this incident is forgotten. Johnuniq (talk) 01:37, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Denying him the attention would be completely ignoring the post. Removing the post shows that you've read it and consider it objectionable, which is actually giving him more attention than ignoring it all together. Besides, from what I know of Ironholds, I doubt he actually cares. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:48, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
