Evidence this is a shared account: you, yourself, have repeatedly used "we" to refer to multiple people who have access to this account. "It would be quicker to create a new account and start over I guess" No. You are not permitted to do this, it would be a violation of WP:EVADE. I also don't believe for even one second your ludicrous claim that an administrator, Favonian, took over this account. --Yamla (talk) 15:15, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

It is not a shared account. My husband and I are at the very same desk, this is why 'we' was used. As for the taking over and/or compromised, I can only assume that this was a poor choice of words for how you have understood this. All that happened is this user took our account from us in that he apparently blocked it. A message to this effect came up in red on the contributions page. This is why 'took over' and 'compromised' was chosen to describe this, as I was astounded to find the account blocked and labelled as an account having links to other persons' accounts when logging back in this morning! It took me a while to understand what all of this actually meant. I contacted the helpdesk-chat who kindly pointed out the Favaonian user is simply the one who took 'editing' rights away and blocked the account. However, I have no idea why this has been done or who these other users are. The account is neither hacked, nor compromised, nor taken over, nor logged in by anyone else, nor is it shared. The password has not been changed and the account is logged in on our home computer. What remains unclear is why the account is blocked and what dubious connections to these other users there supposedly are. Who are the other users exactly? Are these other users' accounts blocked? And if so why are these blocked and what exactly has all of that to do with this account? TVFilmFirst (talk) 15:26, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Can you say what evidence there is that this account is a sockpuppet? (By email if there is information you can't make public.) It doesn't look to me obvious. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:04, 18 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Nothing confidential about it. User creates an account and jumps straight into some of The Penguin's favorite articles: Kate Robbins and List of One Foot in the Grave episodes. Eric Sykes hasn't been targeted before, but he was in Dinnerladies (TV series) and that one is on the hot list. Finally, edit-warring on Rubus chamaemorus to add poorly sourced content. Dopenguins has been very active of late; in fact, the Kate Robbins article was edited by one of their proxies (193.235.207.33) earlier the same day. I could be wrong of course (have we had this conversation before?) Favonian (talk) 20:52, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
