How does English Wikipedia deal with sockpuppets?
Hello, I'm Minhngoc25a, an active user from the Vietnamese Wikipedia. Recently, the check users from our wiki found a wave of sockpuppets. Those accounts affected heavily the result of page deletion and high-class user group election votings in our community.

So, I'd like to ask, how are sockpuppets in your wiki handled? Could you please list the function of your bots used against these accounts?

Was my account hacked?
Recently, I've received welcome notifications from 6 other Wikipedias. Note that I've never touched or interact in those wikis. Could an admin check my account if this account was taken over by another person? Thanks. Minhngoc25a (talk) 04:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC).

 * There's no admin who can check that info for you. You should compare the wikis from which you received the notifications and this list; if they're there then you indeed visited them knowingly or not. If they are not and it still bothers you, then file a bug report – Ammarpad (talk) 05:33, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

On assuming good faith
Just wanted to say, regarding User talk:2A00:23C4:9DCA:9000:914F:CB58:253E:D4DA: I do appreciate that you're looking out for over-the-top templating. There definitely are people who jump to a level-3 or -4 or -4im too fast, and it's good for people to police that. That said, if I can give you a tip: If someone responds to a user's first edit (especially if they're an anonymous user) with a level-4 or -4im warning, they probably have a good reason—usually that the user is a sockpuppet, or is hopping between multiple IPs and has already picked up warnings that day on another IP. And as a matter of assuming good faith, you should assume that that good reason exists. If you see something like that and are not sure, the best thing to do is to leave a message on the talk page of the person who sent the warning, asking "Is there a reason you started with a level-4 warning on that user?" Otherwise, challenging someone in plain view of the disruptive editor can be a form of feeding the trolls. -- Tamzin (she/they) &#124; o toki tawa mi. 07:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
