Block of Mcrfobrockr
Hi Tiptoety

I noticed your block of Mcrfobrockr, ostensibly as a sock of AtlanticDeep. While I have questions this editor's contributions in the past and am no fan, I wonder how you drew that conclusion. There is no mention of that user (or indeed anything recent) in Sockpuppet investigations/AtlanticDeep/Archive.

Regards, Bongo  matic  16:43, 11 June 2010 (UTC) Should you wish to reply, please do so here. I will watch this page for a few days, so no talkback or other comment on my talk page is required.


 * I am a checkuser on Wikimedia commons and confirmed this as a sock of AtlanticDeep. I also spoke with a checkuser on this project who confirmed my findings. Tiptoety  talk 04:41, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Grab some glory, and a barnstar
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. mo no so ck  03:57, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigations/DjJosh
I do not know if this is worth opening a full case or not, but this editor seems to be swapping between accounts rather quickly. One named sockpuppet in there is and it is to do with "Constant creation of Salt & Light Radio (and similar articles)". Since then there has been who created the Josh Fernandez article (apparently the "founder" of Salt & Light Radio, and it does not take much effort to work connect the names of DjJosh and Jfernan to that) which was deleted at articles for deletion, and it has just been recreated by. There do not seem to be any active blocks on DjJosh so I am unsure whether a case is needed or any action needs to be taken, so I thought it simpler just to ask you here. Thank you. O Fenian (talk) 10:04, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and indef blocked all the accounts (including DjJosh). Bringing the issue here is fine, but for better documentation (and for possibly faster results if I am not around), filing a SPI case is probably the best idea. Cheers, Tiptoety  talk 17:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of others' on-point comments in a discussion
Please don't delete my completely on-point comments from a discussion. Perhaps you misunderstood. The nom, in the sockpuppet investigation he brought, is relying wholly on what he claims is "significant behavioral and circumstantial evidence".

A primary component of the gravamen of his complaint -- indeed, what he refers to as a "smoking gun" -- is his assertion that the two editors he is accusing both edited a particular article on an author who the nom characterizes as a "little-known author from Maine". He also characterizes that author as "'little-known', outside of very specific circles related to mining in Maine."

My entry directly addresses nom's contention that these are socks because they both edit an article of a little known writer, not known outside mining circles. This is nom's "smoking gun", and my entry directly addresses that.

You, in deleting another editor's comments from a talkpage (which is generally considered a stark wp violation), wrote as your reason "Unless you are presenting evidence or discussing the specifics of a sock investigation, do not comment." I assume good faith, and that you did not apprehend fully the above. For of course, without question, I was presenting evidence and discussing the specifics of the nom's "smoking gun" in his sock investigation allegation. My comment is precisely on point.

Under the WP:VAN discussion page vandalism rule, blanking the posts of other users from discussions is generally considered vandalism. My completely, without-question, on-point response to the "smoking gun" at the heart of the SPI nom's circumstantial case does not fall into any of the exceptions to the discussion page vandalism rule, which are removing internal spam, vandalism, etc., moving posts to a proper place, and removing personal attacks.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * You missed my point entirely. But, that is alright. If you want to sit and argue with a single user on an SPI case page, then have at it. Just do not expect the case to be resolved in a quick manner. Remember WP:TL;DR. On, and by the way. As an SPIclerk I have the ability to remove any comment(s) I deem to be off-topic, so enough of that "vandalism" nonsense. Tiptoety  talk 04:48, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I know that your deletion was no doubt a good faith misunderstanding, and not intentional vandalism by any means. We've seen each other around to know that the AGF is well deserved in both our cases, I would hope.  But the effect is of course the same as the effect of an intentional vandal -- it deletes pertinent discussion by others from a conversation, with the inimical effect of inappropriately tilting the conversation by depriving editors of the ability to see those comments.  I agree that you can remove inappropriate comments (though I would say that that clerks do no have the right to remove completely on-point comments, that directly addressing what the nom has identified as the "smoking gun" at the heart of the nom's case.  Anyway, I appreciate your forebearance.
 * I have an off-topic question, btw, as to an idea I've been working on (with the nom in that SPI, actually) for expanding SPI. Would you be open to me running it by you, for your input?  Many thanks.
 * Happy Friday. Respectfully.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:56, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Great, tx. I'll update what I/we have (partly this is from a conversation I had with George in which he expressed support for the general concept, but don't hold him to any particulars in it, as I've developed it a bit).

Your thoughts ...
My personal (completely non-scientific) sense is that wikipedia editors include a disturbingly high percentage of socks. The percentage in contentious areas (such as those subject to arb sanctions) would presumably be much higher.

What might your thoughts be as to the following possibilities? Assuming technological feasibility (you may have a view on that). (There may be gradations here, such as "we can tell you if the same computer has been used within the past three months for more than one wikipedia account, and what those accounts are, but we don't have time to do more than that if dealing w/massive numbers of accounts):

Alternative approaches:

1) Check-user all editors.

2) Check-user all editors who "opt-in". And display a tag on their user page saying:
 * a) that they opted in,
 * b) were checked,
 * c) the date checked (and that the check went back 3 months), and
 * d) the results (if no other accounts were found, if other accounts were found but they were all deemed administrative and (if user agrees) what their names are, or if sockpuppetry was discovered).


 * If nothing else, this would serve as a stamp of approval that the editor was willing to submit to the cu, and reflect the cu result.


 * Perhaps, on highly controversial articles during controversial periods, we could restrict editing to editors checked within the prior three months. Much as we now often semi-protect articles during those times, restricting who can edit them to a certain "more trusted" group, such as non-IPs and established editors.

3) Check-user all editors who have been blocked or banned x number of times. Or, alternatively,  blocked or banned x number of times in controversial arb sanction areas.

Because wp relies on consensus, socks are poison. In controversial areas of wikipedia, socks have an even more deleterious effect.

I expect edit warriors who have been banned/blocked, and who are running puppets, will be against proposal 3. But I think something needs to be done to decrease the socking.

Thoughts? Many thanks for taking a moment.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:30, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * For starters, most of this would violate the Foundations Privacy Policy which all users with advanced permissions must follow. As for your overall idea that there are a lot of users sock, I would concur.


 * Secondly, we simply do not have enough active CheckUsers to be able to perform checks on that many people (even if we just did it on people who were involved in some kind of opt-in program).


 * Lastly, a number of CheckUsers already do perform checks on banned/blocked users a a regular basis to ensure they are not continuing to evade said blocks or bans. Tiptoety  talk 07:00, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Removed comment
Hi Tiptoety, you removed my comment in an SPI case, and I was wondering if you could explain why. My comment was made in response to a comment by Epeefleche, in which they questioned why I described the author as "little known". My response was meant as an explanation for why I viewed the coincidence of them editing that article as extremely unlikely. Because the author is not well known, the odds of the two accounts in question being two independent editors, who randomly happened to edit it, is exceedingly unlikely - especially in lieu of other, distinct editing patterns they both display. Epeefleche re-added their commentary after you removed it, but (unsurprisingly) neglected to re-add my response to it. ← George talk 07:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The comments, both yours and his, appeared to be more content related than SPI related. Hence my removal. I will say though, that continuing to bicker back and fourth is, and will not accomplish anything. Often times less evidence is better evidence (WP:TL;DR). I think that the evidence that is currently there is sufficient, and that fighting over how many books a particular author has written adds no value to the case. That said, seeing as Epeefleche is insistent on re-adding the comment, you can re-add yours if you like. Tiptoety  talk 07:58, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Tiptoety. That seems fair, and I agree with you regarding brevity, so I've re-added the essential reasoning in a much shorter version. I actually suspect that a lot of the talk page commentary is meant to make the page so long that nobody will read it and consider the actual merits of the case. ← George talk 08:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I am Slidr3
Sorry but the only way for me to respond to your message was to create another account. Let me explain the whole sockpuppet thing.

A long time ago (like almost 2 years ago or something) I made a bunch of different accounts on here (i often forgot my username/password, or sometimes I would use different accounts to edit different articles). Well I didn't know this was against the rules, but someone caught on and blocked me for six months or so. When the block date expired, I returned, but someone recognized the edits and blocked me again for sockpuppetry. Surely they don't expect to block me forever just for something like that....I am perfectly willing to stick to one account.

And as you can see my edits on these past couple accounts have been contributive. A while ago however I did get into a major fight with another user regarding information about Natalie Wood's death - I kept posting that Lana Wood wants her death case re-opened and cited her interview with CNN. It was reverted because it is against policy to make accusations against living persons (I assume he/she was referring to Robert Wagner). I also uploaded some photos that were copyrighted and deleted, but I don't see how could could be reason to block me.Rooac (talk) 18:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tiptoety I see that you just added reviewer permissions to Ash with the comment can be trusted with this. I'm curious what due diligence you did before adding this right bearing in mind that they abandoned wikipedia after being faced with a RFC accusing them of misrepresenting sources including to a BLP - please see Requests_for_comment/Ash. Are you sure that this is the kind of editor we should trust with reviewer permissions? Spartaz Humbug! 19:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

CAT:TEMP
I'm not sure if you reviewed these pages before you deleted them (or if Tim Song has already talked to you about these off-wiki) but you should keep in mind the warnings at the top of that category. A handful were not indef blocked, or had been subsequently unblocked, etc. Using a script to simply mass-delete large swaths of the category is probably ill-advised. Personally, I think we should probably just get rid of that blasted category altogether - to properly clean it would be mind-numbingly tedious and of little benefit. – xeno talk 20:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, Tim and I spoke. And I made sure to go back through and check for ones that were mistakenly deleted. Please note that of about 10,000 deletions I/Tim only undeleted 50. I would say that is pretty good. As for the category itself, I could not disagree more. Many of those userpages and/or talk pages contained hateful attacks, spurts of vandalism, and needless information. Not only that but 10,000 talk pages takes up server space, space that could be better used elsewhere. As for the deletions themselves, I am aware of the rules around CAT:TEMP and had a list generated that contained pages that did not include the words "sock", "abusing multiple accounts", "historical" and more. Cheers, Tiptoety  talk 20:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Those can be deleted per G10. And surely you realize that deleting these does not save space (and in fact causes more space to be used)? That being said, since you're not deleting them indiscriminately (or are deleting them somewhat less indiscriminately), my concern is moot and further discussion can be done at the CFD. – xeno talk 20:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not sure why it matters so much. You do not have to do the deletions if you do not want to. It is not like I am deleting anything of value or use here. Tiptoety  talk 20:48, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

SPI case
I'm not going to file an SPI, especially not in this obvious case. He would create another account and continue... "Daccono" is User:Bonaparte and/or User:Iaaasi. The latest — very recent — blocked accounts are User:Karpatia1 and User:Zzzsolt. Additional note: the ethnicity of John Hunyadi was one of the favorite topics of User:Iaaasi/User:Bonaparte/User:Umumu.

By the way, I didn't revert his edit. This time. Squash Racket (talk) 15:15, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * For clarification, I was approached by Iaaasi who insisted this user was not their sock, and that reverting their edits as such was wrong. As such, they requested I pass along that they are more than willing to have a CheckUser ran on their account to confirm this. Seeing as he made such a statement, I thought it was worth checking out. That said, you clearly have more experience dealing with this user than I, so I will defer to your judgment. Cheers, Tiptoety  talk

 * Darn :( Well, if things get to hairy on my talkpage (I will be going to sleep soon), feel free to indef semi-protect it and I will create a "IP talk page" (seems to be the rage of late) when I get up. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 07:37, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh and if you could, I would also watchlist User:PMDrive1061‎'s talk page. This Pez guy seems to like hitting that page often. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 07:40, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for handling Pez and Mickey. Though when I saw the SPI by Pez, I just had to laugh.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 12:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Knock knock Whoes there ? Ben Alekzsander Williams again !!!!!!! Ben Alekzsander Williams ? the one whose page got deleted in December 2008. The same only now known as Kameelion

Sorry, not much of a joke but it was the best I could do. ..and I wasn't sure how to handle Kameelion but it looks total self promotion, non-notable etc. etc. - not even a debut album.  Velela  Velela Talk 13:35, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

SPI
Here's that SPI I was chatting with you about yesterday. Be warned that it's a bit on the long side, but this guy is good at covering his tracks CU-wise, and he got off last time because I didn't present nearly enough behavioral evidence. Cheers, Athenean (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Okey Dokey, I will keep an eye on it. And yes, that is on "the long side." Cheers, Tiptoety  talk 04:05, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, if you look at Special:ListGroupRights, you will see that there are additional rights assigned to the "reviewer" usergroup that are not assigned to the "administrator" usergroup. That said, it didn't seem any different when I gave myself reviewer. *Shrug* Tiptoety  talk 21:17, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

If you want to go ahead and unblock him, then that's fine with me. –MuZemike 13:23, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * User was still "on hold" today. As Mike is ok with it and you seem to be on a break I went ahead and unblocked them. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:46, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the block
Thank you for blocking User:66.4.233.14, I stumbled upon their quick mayhem of multiple vandal-edits and was having trouble keeping up. Always learning new things re:Wikipedia and am curious about the Wiki-rationale for blanking previous warnings on an account-page when the IP is blocked.

Rollback...
Hi Tiptoety, I saw that you were one of the administrators willing to grant rollback requests. I would like to have rollback as I think that it could help my edits. I have plenty of edits and I feel it would help me a lot. Many thanks, Rock drum Ba-dumCrash (Driving well?) 19:24, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Recent unblock request
I try to keep an eye on my recent blocks in case someone requests unblock, but I do appreciate the notification of others to help make sure I stay abreast of that. I've taken your consideration up and given the user another chance. It looked to me like an attempt to dodge WP:3RR, but honestly the user's explanation doesn't seem unreasonable and they were quite up-front about it. - Vianello (Talk) 23:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet case - Graham1973
You just classified or at least marked and blocked indefinitely Graham1973 as sock-puppet of King kong92, can it be possible you had a false positive? He is known already for many years inside the Orbiter community, and there actually no overlap in the contributions of greengobby92 and him, as you have usually for sock-puppets of one and the same person & brain. The evidence chain appears very weak from what I can see, but I also have no access to the full evidence data as non-administrator on WP, that you based your decision on. Would you mind taking a closer look at the case? Urwumpe (talk) 16:42, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. It is possible I made an error. I will take another look. Tiptoety  talk 17:23, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Why did you delete this SPI?

I opened a SPI case against a topic banned user who had repeatedly created several socks to violate his topic ban, this was at least his third sock he used to violated his topic ban, and now everything is gone. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 09:17, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
