checkuserblock-account
Hi, you recently blocked Special:Contributions/HammerKinFan per "checkuserblock-account". Could you confirm that it was a AndresHerutJaim sockpuppet so that I can tag/categorize the account (which helps with identification of other socks) ? Would you also be able to have a look at Special:Contributions/Jurrikarsen. Article overlaps with previous socks and repetition of edits such as this, repeating this and this sock edit suggests it's AndresHerutJaim. Thanks.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 16:46, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ as AHJ and blocked. Elockid  ( Talk ) 03:25, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. AndresHerutJaim appears to be racist extremist judging from a search in google. They were blocked in Spanish Wikipedia back in 2010 and unfortunately they have already said they are not going to stop socking in English Wikipedia. If you have any ideas about how to provide better protection from people like this please let me know because I see their IP and registered socks almost everyday in the ARBPIA topic area.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 07:33, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ...like Special:Contributions/SILtmediaup for example.
 * IMO, the best protection right now is to protect the pages with PC2 protection and semi-protection, but PC2 use is still in limbo. I did make a filter to stop autoconfirming sockers but that's only a short term solution. Although rangeblocks slow them down considerably especially when I blocked their main ranges, he appears to get friends to help him out. Elockid  ( Talk ) 13:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Silmeter looks like it might be AndresHerutJaim's latest sockpuppet. AndresHerutJaim is certainly active now e.g. Special:Contributions/190.232.74.112 an IP sock. Silmeter is already showing overlaps with previous socks. Their user page is a bit suspect (and they didn't respond to a question about it), this edit is indicative of AndresHerutJaim and the edit warring here is a bit odd. I don't know whether he is edit warring with himself there (I've seen that before).  Sean.hoyland  - talk 17:10, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Silmeter is ✅. The IP isn't from his established location though. Elockid  ( Talk ) 17:17, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Different location, true, but I've seen these Telefonica del Peru IPs re-implement his sock edits many times e.g. here where 190.232.74.241 re-implements sock Elirhann Oraz89's edit, or here where it's 190.232.207.217 or here where it's 190.234.164.168. He seems to have access to the network or perhaps it's a meatpuppet.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 17:47, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Was thinking the same thing. It's probably another "friend" that I mentioned earlier. Elockid  ( Talk ) 02:21, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Gene Hubbsar might be his latest - typical first edit, focus on proxy war with Iran, edited Iran–Israel relations as did recent sock Jurrikarsen (edit was shortly after 2.138.224.112, a Telefonica de Espana sock/meatpuppet/"friend"...the behavior of these Telefonica de Espana IPs is similar to the Telefonica del Peru IPs), already edit warring at Neturei Karta and linking to an essay.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 18:22, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

✅ and blocked. Elockid  ( Talk ) 19:23, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Frentsin looks like their latest registered sock (editing 2006 Lebanon War for example like many of their previous socks) and Argentina based 200.89.185.220 looks like their latest IP sock.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 04:01, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Could you take a look at L'Yfabrusewela when you get a chance please ? There are edit summary similarities with previous socks and they are making inferences based on a comparison of the same 2 articles that a previous sock has cited. The chance of another editor also picking these 2 completely unrelated articles (Battle of Jenin and Gilad Atzmon) strikes me as near-zero. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 15:37, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Here is support for your "friend" theory for interest. Two edits ( and ) by Israel based IP 109.64.160.175, which include the instructions, presumably sent by AndresHerutJaim in Spanish. Both articles have been targeted by AndresHerutJaim socks before. I left a warning for the IP. Not sure whether that is enough. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 18:07, 20 August 2013 (UTC)


 * We could start looking into semi-protections if this keeps up. This could be just as effective. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 21:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not really a fan of semi-protection for various reasons but I've requested it for some of the recently targeted articles to help deal with the IPs e.g. History of Israel...although the Crandmeipait sock still managed to edit the article soon after protection had been imposed despite having only been created the same day. I'm not sure why that would be the case. Semi-protection in ARBPIA would probably be more effective if it took something like 500 edits and 3 months to get autoconfirmed. What tripped that filter, the repeated sandbox edits ? <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 17:36, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * No problem. Comsaick appears to be his latest registered sock. Sparkling Princess is also possible in that they are making AndresHerutJaim-like edits to an article previously edited by numerous AndresHerutJaim socks. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> Sean.hoyland  - talk 04:47, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Sweet Micuchi appears to have carried on where Sparkling Princess left off. They are also continuing to edit from the Telefonica del Peru IP 190.233.206.191 and now 200.121.177.251.

In a different, yet related manner
Hello Elockid! I was looking over the DRN and had noticed that you had CU-blocked PISCOSOUR786, a user listed as involved in a dispute that I ws going to pick up. Another user in this same dispute has been blocked for socking (since expired), and I wanted to know, without necessarily disclosing protected information, if PISCO was another sock, as you left no note on the user page about them being blocked. If I did not have a script enabled on my account, I would not have known about the block. The sockmaster in the dispute is Ali Aff. Thanks! Ham tech  person  17:38, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

move Hungarian people to Hungarians
Can you move it to Hungarians? Seems I cannot do so. GEORGIANJORJADZE 16:04, 4 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Perhaps ask for input again before moving? <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 16:19, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * What's the point? This is the standard form for an ethnic groups. GEORGIANJORJADZE  16:26, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Not really. There is no one standard. This can be seen with many ethnic groups such as Punjabi people, Arab people, Japanese people or British people. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 18:23, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's different because those ethnicities end up on different letters. Same can be said about Portuguese or French people where "s" cannot be added. But in case of Hungarians that is standard. GEORGIANJORJADZE  19:09, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Still not really. There's Moroccan people, Persian people, Catalan people or Lithuanian people. If you're willing to consider multi-ethnic nations, there's Brazilian people and Mexican people. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 20:23, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Brazilians and Mexicans are not the ethnicities they are the citizens of those countries where Hungarians are an ancient nation. Hungarian people should be moved to Hungarians. I would say the same about Persians. What do you suggest? I think there won't be anyone against such move. GEORGIANJORJADZE  16:48, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I would suggest creating a discussion. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 23:37, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

L'Origine du monde has another registered account?
Going by L'Origine du monde's signatures in his edit summaries, even when he used this, this and this IP, is there any doubt that he is also this editor (DavidMCEddy)? I don't know about you, but I think that L'Origine du monde is the only editor I've seen consistently sign his edit summaries with four tildes. L'Origine du monde has posted at the Penis article's talk page, as seen here, here and here, for examples. And so has DavidMCEddy (today). Seems to be a suspicious coincidence...if this is just a coincidence. Flyer22 (talk) 21:29, 8 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, signing with 4 tildes in edit summaries is not really rare. I see one person do it probably every two weeks or so, mostly from new editors getting used to the signing thing. I don't have a doubt that the IPs were used by L'Origine du monde and they probably just registered after editing anonymously for some time. I see one big difference with L'Origine du monde and DavidMCEddy in their edit summaries is that DavidMCEddy uses the 4 tildes in almost every single edit summary while L'Origine du monde/the IPs do use the 4 tildes in a much lower frequency. I'd say probably just coincidence. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 23:21, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback, Elockid. Perhaps signing edit summaries with four tildes is not as rare as one would think (I've also seen at least one or two other editors do that), but I'd still categorize it as rare. And it's even rarer that an editor who has been editing Wikipedia for as long as L'Origine du monde would still consistently sign the edit summaries with four tildes. I also noticed the difference between L'Origine du monde and DavidMCEddy that you mention, but I've seen L'Origine du monde sign that way often...much more than I've seen him not sign that way. I also think that L'Origine du monde is aware that signing that way is a dead giveaway to who he is, and so he sometimes tries not to sign that way. But it's one of his habits. That, combined with his attention to phallus topics, and to then see the same type of signature from DavidMCEddy at the Penis talk page, was enough to make me suspicious of DavidMCEddy. I'm slightly less suspicious of the matter now, though, considering your feedback. Thanks again. Flyer22 (talk) 23:47, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

delated page
Hello, you delated my page about Czech architect Svatopluk Sládeček because of "No explanation of significance ". But he is one of the most importnat Czcech architects what is clear from the long list of architectural awards, projects and exhibitions. Can you re-examine you decision? Thanks Petra — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petrahl (talk • contribs)


 * The awards need to be notable. They don't appear to be notable here. If the awards were notable, they would usually have a page on them. For example, the Archiweb prize. If I search "Archiweb" on both the Czech and English encyclopedias, I don't get any results. The projects and exhibitions itself should be notable, like he designed a notable building. I don't see any notable projects either. Number of exhibitions don't show notability either. Many people have numerous exhibitions based on their work, but that doesn't necessarily make them notable. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 13:50, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Can you please see the sources of those articles and tell me if there is anything wrong with them? GEORGIANJORJADZE  21:28, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi; I'm the editor who has made the changes that GJ objects to (mostly reverting to a version by another editor last month, plus rewriting the leads, that were very messy). The sources I took off were an accumulation of footnotes in the first sentences of the articles, used mostly to support the mention of the Georgian character of the states in the very first words of the article. Not only does this make the lead cluttered and unencyclopedic but most of those sources are not in any way authored by specialists of the subject at hand, they mostly come from disparate works that mention ancient Georgia marginally. Consequently, I defend my edits as necessary cleanup, and would like GJ to at least acknowledge that he needs to collaborate more in his editing behaviour, and to discuss instead of revert and accuse. In any case, I am ready to pursue any dispute resolution venue that could help us out of this situation, as editing with GJ can often be very frustrating. Susuman77 (talk) 21:52, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * What resolution do you think we can get when you destroy the Georgian history. Fact is Colchis and Iberia were always Georgian states, ethnically and linguistically and you're not even mentioning them or you mention it just with one sentence. How would I react to that? GEORGIANJORJADZE  22:02, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Taking a look at the lead for example, the amount of sourcing there in my opinion was getting a tad bit excessive. While this may be great to further support possibly controversial statements, I think a good amount of sources to support a statement should be at maximum around five. One or two reliable sources IMO is good enough. Otherwise, we're getting to get those long spaces of just sources in the article. This could negatively affect the readability of the article. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 22:19, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

User:Sthubbar
Elockid, I'm hoping to close User:Sthubbar's unblock request / IP block exemption request one way or the other. The user claims proxy editing is required to edit from China, which sometimes allow for this flag when editing from proxies (as per WP:PROXY. I'm just concerned about granting it in this case to allow for proxy editing with this user's recent block history.  As a more experienced administrator who has also been dealing with this request, I'm wondering if you don't mind finalizing this request (either by granting the request or denying it)? Thanks. Singularity42 (talk) 16:13, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't want to step on your toes so I'll just say what's on my mind. I was unable to verify that Sthubbar was editing from a place with government restrictions/firewalls. All of the users so far who I have granted IPBE due to government restrictions were indeed found to be editing from places with government restrictions/firewalls. As IPBE is considered an admin right, I want to be absolutely sure before handing out such a right. For me anyways, I need the hard proof/evidence. I would have declined the request until further evidence can be presented. But some may perceive it as not AGFing so as a result, I haven't granted or denied their request. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 22:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Scroll to one that says Bureaucrat (the name will change according to how Bureaucrat is said in a different language).

Look familiar?
Do you recognize and ? From their editing history it is clear that they are not new editors, and they recently subtly trolled the Hinduism article in concert (eg, see cited sources here). Revealing edit sequence: Leopatra added some information to the page, and then removed it two edits later, with edit summary "reverted some edits by blolay...", which makes me suspect that they are socks of the same user. I haven't reviewed their complete editing history, but do have other articles in common such as Yoga. Also pinging who may know the puppetmaster.

This is Critism12345 speaking. I have not listed any incorrect information on any articles. In fact all can be found on list of metropolitan areas in Europe under the heading of OECD, a very reliable up to date source. Ihave noticed that you have successfully deleted my new article of the largest metropolitan areas of the European Union, which took me two hours to create. This data was reliable and from a recent cencus. All information had references, so I do not see why you deleted my information. I would appreciate it if you approved of my article and could enable it to public viewing, as it is better information and more up to date. Please reply as soon as possible because I have been discouraged to edit and improve Wikipedia because of you deleting my edits. Hope for a reply soon Critism12345

Why Manila is the world's first Global City
According to the book entitled, The Prize of All the Oceans. by Williams, Glyn published by Viking, New York. ISBN 0-670-89197-5, p. 4. Manila is the worlds' first global city because the Manila Galleons marked the first time trade truly became global, wherein goods from the Western Hemisphere (The old world and the Americas) where traded for goods from the Eastern hemisphere (Asia), as what exactly happened during the Manila Galleons. I cannot allow people to denigrate and remove this from a the City who hold's this title originally. It is the city of our affections, the city which almost all great empires tried to fight over and then you come waltzing in and say oh! And remove it a say oh it's not even a global city at all? Lol it's the original global city. Thank You.

But you haven't even replied to my defense and then boom! You warn me. Is that fair? All the other reverters, I have also explained this issue in their talk page yet they haven't refuted me at all. So why warn me over this?

Is this fair? If you ban me without even replying to my posts in your talk-page. (And reverting my edits even after the fact that I talked in your talkpage) You are guilty of subverting due process, and it is an OFFENSE.

 * This is complete POV pushing. I recommend you read what a global city is. Cities have been trading globally even before the Manila galleons were established. Reinserting your edits will land you straight to WP:ANEW or to WP:ANI. They have been marked as either disruptive or violation of NPOV by multiple people. You also need to ping in Howard the Duck who has reverted your additions regarding the City of Man and LogX who also reverted your addition of the global city info and as well as other edits. <b style="font-family:Chiller; font-size:x-large; color:#8B0000;">Elockid</b><sup style="font-family:Chiller; font-size:large;">( Boo! ) 03:44, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

You Blocked The Local Host!
The IP 127.0.0.1 is the Wikipedia local host and as stated on User:127.0.0.1, it should never be blocked! I know it's been making vandal edits but I just thought you should be aware of this in case you didn't realise. Oddbodz (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Even unblocked, it's already preventing multiple editors from editing. One user has already been blocked twice today because of that. It's being blocked regardless. Given the two options, block all users due to the autoblock or block to prevent the autoblock so at least logged in editors can edit, I'd take the latter. <b style="font-family:Chiller; font-size:x-large; color:#8B0000;">Elockid</b><sup style="font-family:Chiller; font-size:large;">( Boo! ) 00:35, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

A known sockpuppeter is back
I want advice you that an editor who has been blocked for evading a block is back now with a registered account, the user name is JJJNosay, here are his contributions: and here are the contributions of the IP you blocked 4 days ago:  note how the edit summaries and what he/she edits is identical, , he/she also tends to link articles that are personal sites or that don't say what he/she says that these say.

Finally, i think i found other two IPs from the same user: and. Edits the same things, similar edit summaries. Almasur (talk) 01:20, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * The quacking is loud, so I've blocked the account. Those 166.147 IPs are allocated to mobile ranges and they are highly dynamic and very busy. So there's no long-term solution for those IPs, I'm afraid. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 02:43, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I suppose you could go to WP:USURP. If someone else owns the SUL account, you could run into some problems. Also, considering that you've already made two username changes in a relatively short period of time, I'm not sure if Bureaucrats will be so willing to change your username again. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 20:40, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism from an IP that leads to a mail server
Hello. I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's rules regarding using "non standard" IPs for editing, but when making a reverse DNS check on, an IP with a very long history of vandalism, to see if it was a school IP I found that it is a mail server (mail and Outlook) belonging to "PACE Center for Girls" in Jacksonville, Florida. Which seems a bit odd to me since people usually don't edit Wikipedia from the company mail server. So I thought you might want to take a look at in case it's against the rules here. <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">Thomas.W <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">talk to me  16:08, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocked by Materialscientist. I'm willing to bet that the IP is more likely an organization IP rather than a mail server. <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 21:36, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The check I made showed that they have multiple servers, including a separate web server, so it's not an organization with a single server. <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">Thomas.W <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">talk to me  11:01, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Couldn't they route all traffic to a single IP though? <b style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:14px; color:#4682B4;">Elockid</b>  ( Talk ) 22:17, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * They could, yes, because the IP could lead to a router that forwards different protocols to different servers behind the router/firewall (according to a DNS check the web server is at a web-hosting place in Brea, CA, BTW, so they don't handle that themselves). IMHO it's not a smart way of doing it, though, because I would keep the students/inmates (according to the web site PACE Center is some kind of rehabilitation center for juvenile delinquents) as far away from the company/staff network as I could. Anyway, thanks to Materialscientist we won't have any problems with that IP for the next six months. <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">Thomas.W <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">talk to me  22:55, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * (Additional comment: Only a very incompetent system/network administrator would let the company/staff mailserver share external IP with a network of student computers since student activities could get the IP blacklisted as a spam IP, preventing company/staff email from reaching their intended destinations. And a limited budget is no excuse, because even systems with a single router to the Internet can easily handle multiple external IPs, one for the mail server and one or more for the rest of the local network.) <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">Thomas.W <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#164D0B">talk to me  10:27, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Gday. Via stewards we have had someone caught by a global block on 23.88.0.0/16, and I softened that block, though found that you had an enWP block in place too. I umm'd and ahh'd and have softened the local block with my local admin right and a little bravado, commented why and mentioned the ticket. As you have local CU rights, always feel free to retighten that block as you know the local conditions better than I. Anyway, I hope that all suits.

Bagrationi edit warring again
Please review and monitor recent contributions to the articles and talk pages of the various articles on members of the Bagrationi dynasty. There appears to be a renewal of the pattern of violations which led to reduction from an indefinite block to a 6 month block on 27 January 2013, and now a pattern of violation of the commitments made on this talk page here, commitments which appear to have contributed to your lifting the indefinite block. In light of these patterns, please take whatever action you deem appropriate to protect Wikipedia from further disruption. Thanks. FactStraight (talk) 02:17, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

User:Jaqeli
has reverted to their old edit warring in their changes tactic, even after the 1RR discussion you had with them. Clearly the Standard Offer has failed. CMD (talk) 12:39, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:EW. Jaqeli (talk) 13:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Indeed, Jaqeli is engaging in edit-warring again on Bagrationi dynasty-related articles, as I reported to you here and he is in full and open defiance of his commitment not to do so. Please follow up on your prior commitment to correct this pattern of behavior. FactStraight (talk) 06:30, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Elockid you can see that it is quite the contrary as he's the one who edit wars. Please see this here. His edits are very disruptive and please do everything possible for him to stop edit warring. He was warned to not edit war but still he's ignoring it so far. Jaqeli (talk) 06:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I warned both Jaqeli and FactStraight last night (see User talk:Richwales and User talk:FactStraight) that edit-warring is not acceptable as a way of handling a content dispute, even if an editor is convinced he is right and others are wrong. They may not like what I said and may be upset at me for not upholding the obviously correct side in this dispute, but that's not what admins are supposed to do.  I've had a lot of contact over time with Jaqeli (formerly GeorgianJorjadze), but none with FactStraight until now.  I've also done some editing and content discussion in the past in various articles pertaining to Georgia, so I am probably too "involved" by now to take any admin action here.  If you have a wider experience with both Jaqeli and FactStraight and feel more comfortable handling this latest spat, please be my guest.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 17:35, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
