Socks
Hi

The template on User:Phil2334 isn't pointing at any confirmed socks - is there something wrong with Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Phil2334? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pablomismo (talk • contribs)
 * I've checked the category now and the sockpuppets are appearing. Sometimes it takes a while for all pages in a category to appear and I presume that is what happened. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 21:52, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Muscovite99
Hey. I saw you templated User:Muscovite99 as blocked indefinitely. Since he hasn't been blocked indefinitely, I've reverted this. I'm leaving this note to explain. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 23:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, I've added a new parameter to the template (|timeblocked) to allow it to be more accurate and have readded the template. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 07:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

sock template
Hi - the template on User:Phil2334 still doesn't seem to be right, (I was comparing it to User:Rapalot203) - is there a difference between the two? pablo hablo. 22:46, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, there shouldn't be a difference, I'd messed up the parameters. All fixed now. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 03:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Unblocked sockpuppets
Hi, the two IPs (76.79.179.55, 76.91.204.240) you said you had blocked, at Sockpuppet_investigations/MartinMusatov/Archive, are still around and making the same pattern of disruptive edits, e.g. creating duplicates of existing pages. Are IP blocks temporary? Should they be blocked again? Shreevatsa (talk) 14:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * There were blocked temporarily (as we generally do for IPs) and PeterSymonds has now reblocked 76.79.179.55 for an extra week. 76.91.204.240 was blocked again three days ago. Happy editing! Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 22:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information! Shreevatsa (talk) 00:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

WP:SPI
Hey with the template changes you did... when I meant fix them on IRC, I meant set the template to simply transclude without the show/hide box. In other words transclude everything. That was the behavior on the subpages before. ——  nix eagle email me 03:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 03:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * We have archived some 10 cases today which should reduce the parser function usage back to acceptable levels so I went ahead and undid your changes. If it breaks again we can revert back to your version. :) Hopefully it won't be if we can keep the backlog under control. Thanks for the work on it. ——  nix eagle email me 18:27, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Those 10 cases had a bit in them ;), here is the NewPP report now on the page:
 * NewPP limit report
 * Preprocessor node count: 13449/1000000
 * Post-expand include size: 1386860/2048000 bytes
 * Template argument size: 41326/2048000 bytes
 * Expensive parser function count: 15/500
 * Again thanks for fixing it yesterday if we run into problems again we will be going back to your fix. ——  nix eagle email me 18:30, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, no problem. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 22:34, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

tagging templates
I've responded on my talk page to your comments, detailing a major weakness I see in the combined template. - TexasAndroid (talk) 04:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dessiedolan
Hey FoxyLoxy, just spotted your comment on the above SP page, I'm new to these investigations -- what do you mean by diffs? And were you asking me, or the original poster? Thanks :-) - Fattonyni (talk) 12:15, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * By diffs, I mean this; basically behavioral evidence to suggest a relationship between the different. The message really was directed at anyone willing to provide them, particularly Nja247. Happy editing! Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 12:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Mwalla SPI
Things seem to be getting out of control with this Mwalla person. I don't know if you are an admin or not but saw that you were involved in the discussion. It seems the admins or regulators have forgotten about the sock investigation of Mwalla. Sockpuppet_investigations/Mwalla.-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  11:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It is unfortunate that mwalla continued to edit disruptively, although it should be noted that as of 02:33, 20 March 2009 (UTC+9) that mwalla has been blocked for a week, so that should calm things down a little bit. As of now there is only 15 cases currently needing processing, the mwalla case should be processed soon and appropriate actions taken. In the mean time, if any more disruption by obvious socks occurs, list the socks on the case page and contact me and I'll try and take care of it. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 01:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. The 1 week block did not work, as there have been two new socks created and an old sock "resurrected" today in order to file a bogus edit war report on me in a feeble attempt to get me blocked. I understand that there are other cases that also need attention. I will wait patiently for a conclusion. Thanks. By the way just to let you know you left the letter "s" out of endorsed template so your endorsed template is a broken link on the mwalla sock page.-- Literature geek |  T@1k?  19:24, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Because of the continious disruption by these sockpuppets, I tried to flag a clerk on IRC this morning to get some eyes on the case (I'd do it myself but I'm going offline in a couple of minutes) but I'm not sure if it worked. I'll try again tonight and have another look myself. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 23:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Could they be the same?
As per your comment, I am wondering if one might not be a school/work/café account while the other is a home account. Note the lack of movement on the SPI. Is that typical? - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  22:47, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've extended upon my comment on the casepage, suggesting that the IPs belong to the same home or business. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 23:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've replied there as well. Of you feel I've gone too far in my comments, please let me know, and I will redact them asap. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  00:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Please conduct the full IP investigation before you finalize your decision. If you need to speak with me over the phone or you want some other form of third party proof, I'll give it to you to prove that Marfoir and I are different people.  Erikeltic (talk) 02:52, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Template:Wi
Due to breakage of pages transcluding Template:Wi, I've moved the old template back in place. Can you explain what you were trying to do with it? --- RockMFR 17:54, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * People forget to subst a longcomment after the template name and this clogs Special:Shortpages, I was trying to make it that substuting the template would place a longcomment there automatically. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 06:15, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

BM/NVI talkpage
Are you trying to tell me current RFC will disappear when the talkpage is archived ? Seeyou (talk) 10:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Not at all, the last post in that thread was posted today, threads will only archive when there have been no posts for 14 days (2 weeks) straight. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 10:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for pointing that, I ll stop that and I will remove the warnings Maen. K. A. (talk) 13:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
