Sockpuppet investigations/Tobias Conradi
You had asked for more evidence on the SPI (I wasn't the filer), and I'd provided some when I was about to block the account -- which I didn't do as it was active at SPI. Can you take a relook please? &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  13:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Account creation interface!
I understand you're an account creation interface administrator. Do you believe I can be trusted with access to the tool?— cyberpower Chat Online  12:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Am I? I haven't used the ACC interface for years, so I couldn't comment, sorry. WilliamH (talk) 17:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I was told that you are by the other interface administrators. They told me to consult you because they are hesitant to say yes to granting me access because of my block where I oversighted.  They believe that because I was disclosing information that needed to be oversighted that I am unfit to handle private information.  I and they want your input.— cyberpower  Chat Offline  17:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello, WilliamH I thought I would point you to this disccussion and yes you are still an ACC admin.  Mlpearc  ( powwow ) 18:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * William, sorry for the confusion. Being the blocking admin and an ACC admin it seemed so convenient to have you weigh in. Given your surprise i took a look. AGK reactivated your account at ACC about 2 months ago and a month ago promoted you to admin. My guess would be it having something to do with you also having CU rights here and CU access at ACC. We aren't supposed to be just randomly reactiving accounts so maybe AGK spoke to you and you forgot about it. ;)   delirious  &amp;  lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 20:59, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I recall I might have tried to access ACC again, but didn't have any success due to my account having been inactive for a long while. Perhaps AGK saw this, reactivated my account, and made me an admin on it because of my other permissions. I'm off now, this is just to say that I'm aware of the discussion and will post a response tomorrow. In the mean time, Cyberpower could also consider contacting the other functionaries who reviewed the context of the block and the eventual unblocking. WilliamH (talk) 21:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Have you come to a conclusion yet?— cyberpower Chat Online  21:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

edit
OK. Was about to but someone beat me to it. Soupy sautoy (talk) 19:41, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi William, you unblocked User:Lewi6400youtubeChannel on 24 January 2012 to allow for a change of username. However their username has not been changed, obviously I'm not aware of any other circumstances, but I thought I would left you know anyway. Regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 08:45, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, however it now appears the user's account was compromised, and it has been blocked indefinitely. WilliamH (talk) 22:23, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Light current CU
Did you offer any opinion on whether DriveByWire or Bred Ivy were related to Light current? I saw that you said that DBW and BI are unrelated to each other, but if you said either "one is LC and one isn't" or "neither of them are LC", I completely overlooked it. Nyttend (talk) 23:12, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * All the data for Light current is extremely, so any connection would have to be drawn on a behavioural basis. WilliamH (talk) 23:19, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, didn't realise that at all. Thanks!  Nyttend (talk) 23:44, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

User:Bluesman3145
Hi. You blocked this user today as a sock of User:MooshiePorkFace, was this a checkuser thing? They've appealed via UTRS. Thanks Secretlondon (talk) 22:25, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If you have UTRS access it is #2645 - presuming this is connected to paid editing. Secretlondon (talk) 22:38, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Have you looked at
the other edits of ? Looks like the sort of edits I'd expect from his namesake - in fact, we may have a username problem here given his racist edits (we have Don Black (white nationalist) although that title underestimates Black's racism). Dougweller (talk) 18:47, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps worth keeping an eye on, but only three edits very justifiably revertable - I wouldn't say there's much to worry about at the moment. WilliamH (talk) 20:25, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree - if he carries on like this he's not going to go far. I'm still thinking that there may be a username problem. Dougweller (talk) 20:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

My RfA
Hey William, would you mind making the closure of my RfA official? I withdrew it and added the "unsuccessful" RfA templates to the page myself, but I'm pretty sure I need a bureaucrat to do the honours as a formality. Thanks, and take care. =)  Master&amp;  Expert ( Talk ) 22:06, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks all fine to me, nothing else to do. If you want to withdraw it, that's fine, it's your RFA. Good luck for a possible future one. WilliamH (talk) 22:14, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Request an Account
Hi WilliamH, when you have time, there is a request (https://toolserver.org/~acc/acc.php?action=zoom&id=79462) at Request an Account which Elockid suggested you might be able to shed some light on. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 17:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I can't log in though, for reasons that aren't clear. Is my username WilliamH? I've tried all the passwords I use and none of them work, and it says my e-mail address is invalid when trying to reset the password - perhaps I didn't include one. Could you point an ACC admin in the direction of this? Thanks! WilliamH (talk) 17:39, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep WilliamH. Will do. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 17:42, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

First ever Reading Wiki Meetup
You are invited to the first ever Reading Wiki Meetup which will take place at Copa, 76-78 Kings Road, Reading, RG1 3BJ on Sunday 23 September 2012 from 1.00 pm.

I hope as many people as possible will be able to attend so that we can make this a regular event. If you have never been to one, this is an opportunity to meet other Wikipedians in an informal atmosphere for Wiki and non-Wiki related chat and for beer or food if you like. Experienced and new contributors are all welcome. This event is definitely not restricted just to discussion of Berkshire related topics. Bring your laptop if you like and use the free Wifi or just bring yourself. Even better, bring a friend! Click the link for full details. Looking forward to seeing you.

Rob Ford
Hello WilliamH. I've just noticed a request for the Rob Ford article to be unprotected, and it seemed like a reasonable request to me, so I'm forwarding it on to you as the protecting admin. Maybe things have died down enough to change it to semi-protection? In any case, you can see the request at Talk:Rob Ford. Best regards — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 08:17, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Nomination to RfA
Good morning William - I noticed you are willing to nominate a user for Adminship. I'd like you to consider me for the position.

 * Certainly, I shall take a look right now. It has been waiting on a response from the other side, but yeah, it doesn't look like that's coming, and I suspect that the answer they give would endorse the block anyway. WilliamH (talk) 21:42, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

TutterMouse
This user appears to be caught in a rangeblock which you placed (although he has incorrectly applied for auto-unblock ). He has been here since 2008, with no apparent problem except for a couple of autoblocks for which he appears blameles. Would you see a problem in granting him IP exemption?--<b style="color:red;">Anthony Bradbury</b><sup style="color:black;">"talk" 16:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Someone got there before I did, but yep, IPBE granted fair and square. WilliamH (talk) 18:47, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

ip block lift
the ip 82.101.5.49 is inside a block that is statically assigned to people, it doesn't change, so it makes sense to remove the block and just block that single user that actually did vandalism...
 * It does make sense to do that, however it is not possible. The individual concerned uses many IP addresses, and blocking lots of them is the only way to deal with his disruption. Follow the instructions on your talk page - specifically the To edit, please log in box - and you will be able to edit with an account. WilliamH (talk) 21:13, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
