Weird user
Hi Yamla, I haven't asked you to run a check in a while, so I figured you might miss it. :-) I came across because of a complaint against them at WP:ANI (closed since I started researching the user). Their topic interests appear to be road signs (I doubt they are  - they've been around too long without being detected, including at Commons) and food userboxes - strange interests, but it takes all kinds, I guess. What grabbed my attention sock-wise is their creation of userpages for other users and editing of userpages (they created one userpage of a non-existent user). The two other users who I think are likely Levi Kambai are  and  based on the road sign topic. This is the article intersection of the three. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Pretty weird coincidence, if that's what it is. What is it with road signs and, for different users, tornados and hurricanes? I'll take a look. --Yamla (talk) 20:28, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Sockpuppet investigations/มองโกเลีย๔๔, highly (and not Jermboy). I'd have put money on one catch here, happy to see I was mistaken. --Yamla (talk) 21:03, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking at it, and thanks for doing all the paperwork.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

You are mentioned here but not pinged

 * Thanks, I'll take a look. --Yamla (talk) 11:10, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

ExclusiveEditor
Hi Yamla, I'm sure you're aware of the discussion at ANI about unblocking. As I've made clear, I'm strongly opposed to it, but, unfortunately, if the consensus is to unblock them, there's nothing I can do about it (except stew a little - I'm good at stewing). Anyway, given the behavior at issue here, I just wanted to make sure that you or someone else has run a check of the user to make sure they have not been evading their block or socking in the time leading up to their block. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look. Thanks. --Yamla (talk) 13:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * There's but that was a declared alt and hasn't been involved since ExclusiveEditor was blocked. Nothing else in the logs. Let me know if you think this information belongs at WP:ANI and I'll post there. --Yamla (talk) 14:01, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I think it's fine, no one's mentioned it. If they do, you can chime in. Thank you for checking.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

CheckUser
Hello,

On the article Hatha yoga, there is an IP user and a newly created account which appear to be the same person making the same edits (removing content with no explanation). I'm wondering if you could take a look at that and what would be my next steps?

Thanks,

My real namm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Also, for some reason, the logged in user "thanked" me, likely by mistake. I am puzzled... My real namm  (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, review 2409:4073:2E81:1097:0:0:644B:4301 and 2409:4073:2004:512b::d2c:f0ac to be the same people (or related) because they keep making same/similar edits to the article. Thanks. My real namm  (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 01:19, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Revdel on Favonian's talk page?
Hi, Yamla. The BKFIP that you blocked today for 6 months had also posted that same message on Favonian's talk page with the 1,436 bytes. Can you revdel those revisions in the revision history? I assume Favonian is busy right now and can't do it himself. Thanks. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 17:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I forgot to inform you this morning, so I'm doing it now itself. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 17:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Done! --Yamla (talk) 18:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Though they phrased it incorrectly, their appeal is based on attacks made on them by, not me. They traded the insults tit-for-tat and both ended up indefed. -- Ponyo bons mots 22:24, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Ha! Thanks for the e-mail. I do care, although not a lot, even more interesting/mysterious being the user who posted to my Talk page has now been CU-blocked by. Your e-mail was so thorough. I wish everyone connected the dots as well as you do. Thanks! --Bbb23 (talk) 17:59, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

GauMutra
I have trouble with those two masters. I usually get the socking right but not always the master. Thanks for fixing.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:55, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem at all. I often wonder if we actually have fewer sockmasters than we think. Good catch on this one. --Yamla (talk) 18:00, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

SPI
Hi Yamla. Is there any chance that this SPI could be looked at-. The disruption caused by this sock-master is off the charts, and includes brazen vote stacking in AFDs and creating poorly sourced POV pushing articles that promote religious heroism. 2 admins have expressed concerns that the first account, Historian2325, is a SPA-; both accounts aren't even trying to hide their links to the sock-master and are openly trying to see how far they can take their DUCK edits. You also dealt with one of the SPAs before- where he promised you that he would never block evade again, and then subsequently went on to create dozens of more SPAs. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 18:08, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll try to take a look later today. The problem is, these are extremely time-consuming given the specific nature of the IP address(es) involved. Any idea if there's perhaps a set of 10 - 50 articles we could just protect instead? I'm wondering if that might be a better approach. --Yamla (talk) 18:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks Yamla, I'm not looking for any action against the IPs, it's just that this sockmaster extensively uses proxies to block evade, so I thought that listing some of the ones I've come across may help CUs establish a connection or CU findings might reveal that the sockmaster was operating with these proxies. But just to be clear, I'm only asking CUs to look at the 2 accounts, not the IPs. Would it be easier if I removed the IPs from the socklist? Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 18:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed the IPs. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 18:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Nauman335
Thanks for the work here as always. I see you closed it but was hoping we could open so it can be evaluated for a behavior block. I think the evidence presented shows they are related and that the main SOCK understands not to use the same IP to avoid a CU. CNMall41 (talk) 18:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. Done. --Yamla (talk) 18:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You are awesome. This is one we knew likely would come down to behavioral evidence. Thanks again. --CNMall41 (talk) 06:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Tangential ANI mention
Well, the instructions tell me to do it, so ...

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Disagreement about blocking of 2601:646:201:57F0::/64. Thank you. Graham87 (talk) 08:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Acknowledged, thanks. --Yamla (talk) 11:30, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Special:Diff/1222755351, it might be WP:LTA/SGK, might be another generic LTA though. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 22:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, maybe. A bit more generic a username, though. Still, definitely plausible. --Yamla (talk) 10:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Haploidavey block
The block lifted for a short while, then was re-imposed. This is why I didn't remove the notice. I'm able to edit when I turn off my VPN, but that leaves me vulnerable. Haploidavey (talk) 10:50, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, you need to disable your VPN if you wish to edit here. If you have a compelling need to use a VPN, WP:IPBE may be available to you. Note, though, that simply a desire to hide your IP address is not enough to be granted IPBE. --Yamla (talk) 11:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Ha! It might not come to that. You helped me out on a prevous occasion (see my talk, halfway up); I disabled my VPN and the block was cleared a few hours later. I turned the VPN back on, and it has stayed that way, fully protective, for a year or two. Here's hoping for more of the same.Haploidavey (talk) 12:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

IP Block
User:Yamla I'm here to give an explanation that My IP address is blocked and I'm unable to edit Draft Articles. I'm only able to edit the Articles in the Main Space. I didn't understand the problem I'm facing. Please unblock My IP address. I'm not using any proxy or VPN. I'm using my Mobile Data Internet. I follow the instructions when i show the warning that Ask the Administrators to give Wikipedia:IP block exemption right because I'm using Mobile Data. SoryThank (talk) 11:58, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I already explained your next step in your UTRS request. --Yamla (talk) 12:02, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Frankly, we've been much too much spam from your IP address range, spam that looks very much like User:SoryThank/sandbox. I don't think you should receive IPBE. But it's not up to me. --Yamla (talk) 12:03, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * So What do I have to do ? SoryThank (talk) 12:14, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I am unable to Create a Draft Article. Please unblock my IP address.
 * My IP Address is : 223.123.8.30 SoryThank (talk) 12:16, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Please reread the directions I gave you via UTRS. --Yamla (talk) 12:51, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Yamla: this account is a sock of Nauman335 and has been blocked. In case they are still appealing to UTRS. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:11, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much! I did wonder (but didn't check); the sandbox matched the same topic and same approach as other Nauman socks. --Yamla (talk) 14:32, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

2600:1017:B49C:6DD6:9845:484:EFDF:157
Thank you for taking the measures you did, although I am still wondering: Why was I being pinged? I cannot see what I had to do with the block. Maybe a registered user thinking I'll know exactly what they're talking about? Or someone whose unblock I declined at UTRS, maybe ... Daniel Case (talk) 17:48, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If you take a look at some of the specific blocks such as this one, you can see you are the blocking admin on a /40 range. Pretty sure that's why you are being tagged. I want to strongly emphasize that the next bit is not based on CU data. This could be . It's certainly one LTA or another. They have an obvious tell which I'm happy to email you about if you wish. :) --Yamla (talk) 17:59, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Guidance regarding personal attacks, slurs.
Hi there.

I found an IP user who immediately resorted to personal attacks in Talk:Yasuke, to where/who can I report it?

User is @103.6.150.184, in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Yasuke&diff=prev&oldid=1224107290 Abandonee (talk) 14:50, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * WP:AIV is probably the right place. In this case, the editor has already been blocked for that inappropriate personal attack. --Yamla (talk) 15:46, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Roopsha Dasguupta
Hi Yamla. I saw in the log for Draft:Roopsha Dasguupta that you recently blocked for promotion. The draft has been recreated today by new editor - likely a sock? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, likely. I'll take a look. Thanks for pointing it out to me! --Yamla (talk) 21:20, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅, blocked and tagged. --Yamla (talk) 21:27, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Block evasion
Hi Yamla, almost a week ago you banned User:The Penfield Homunculus for repeated block evasion. A new sock has turned up and edited e.g., the FC Barcelona article today, which definitely belongs to that user (same manner of writing, restores the previous version of the article). What do you think, is a further increase in protection level of the FC Barcelona article an idea (since the sockmaster keeps coming back there), or is it a bit extreme? Thanks, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 07:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Which account are you referring to? for example was registered on 2024-05-05 so possibly isn't part of the same set of socks. --Yamla (talk) 10:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm referring to "Déu-n'hi-do" (sorry, should have been clearer there). I'm 100% certain that that account belongs to The Penfield Homunculus. They have the same style of edit summaries/writing, the same interests (FC Barcelona/Catalonia) and at the FC Barcelona page "Déu-n'hi-do" restored the version of the sockmaster (odd behaviour). Going by the history of the FC Barcelona page, it is clear to me that "The Penfield Homunculus" has often had multiple accounts at the same time; Pròssia was used from 11 to 28 April, but during that time there was also an account called ONLY-BARCELONA from 21 April to 1 May, followed by A Crocodile in Bed from 1 to 5 May, an account from 2 May and "Blow.ofmind78" from 13 to 16 May. The sockmaster (and thus "Déu-n'hi-do") seems to understand that by making small edits, one can easily rack up the amount needed to edit such pages. It wouldn't surprise me if there is another sock of him already out there, which will have at least ten edits in three weeks, starting this process all over again. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 11:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Please file an WP:SPI and I'll take a look. If the account matches, I strongly agree it's time for article protection. --Yamla (talk) 12:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks Yamla, I've re-opened the investigation here: Sockpuppet investigations/The Penfield Homunculus. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 12:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks
thank you yamla for removing the speedy deletion of my user page Iqoq (talk) 16:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem. :) --Yamla (talk) 16:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Must finish the show of socks
accused to me to be a sock of other user. It's obsessed. Mucchia (talk) 13:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you again, Yamla. This message, however, and this user trying to boss my talk page, throwing his toys out of the pram (although they claim "to be neutral"), is just a bit annoying... Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 13:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Stop accusing others to be a sock. You are reverting in FC Barcelona page a lot of contents with the reason: sock. I don't know if Deu-nido its a sock but you are vandalizing wikipedia. Mucchia (talk) 13:37, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Improve wikipedia pages and stop to revert content by claiming sock. Mucchia (talk) 13:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ sock, handled via SPI. --Yamla (talk) 13:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks a bunch, Yamla! Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 13:43, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

SophieHadifz promotional tone editing: block evasion?
I noticed that you indefinitely blocked SophieHadifz on April 29th 2024 for 'Using Wikipedia for promotion or advertising purposes'. I have been attempting to make good faith improvements to a page that this user created Craig Considine that was(/is?) highly promotional in tone, and I continue to have to address edits by unregistered IP users that are repeatedly inserting promotion/advertising into the article. Quite honestly, I am unconvinced by this article's notability and am considering submitting to AfD. I am uncertain whether this is the article's subject or SophieHadifz, but either way the results are the same. I wanted to call this to your attention because it may be block evasion from an account that you blocked. Please could you advise how to move forwards with this? For now, I have requested protection on the article. Thank you! Boredintheevening (talk) 10:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Favonian thankfully added protection to that page so hopefully this properly tackles the inappropriately promotional editing. --Yamla (talk) 11:30, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

User:SGaurier
I am curious, two edits on AfDs for a new user, is this not suggestive of a possible sock? Should it be checked out? Regards Govvy (talk) 10:34, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * There's not much to go on there yet. It certainly is unusual for a new editor to find their way to AfDs, though. --Yamla (talk) 11:24, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Unblock
My Account (Caxwax) is not directly blocked but the IP address is blocked. I'm unable to edit or create Draft articles. I'm also unable to edit my Wikipedia User Page. My IP address is blocked so I'm also unable to edit my talk page and to post the Unblock request. I didn't use any Proxy or VPN. I'm using my Mobile Data Internet connection. When i click on edit tab, the notification said that ask for IP Block Excemption. Please unblock my account IP.

Thank you Caxwax (talk) 12:00, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * As I have previously told you, I'm unwilling to grant you WP:IPBE and I've explained why. Additionally, your IP address is not currently blocked as you are able to edit this page. --Yamla (talk) 12:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The Page was Expired and the I did not see the reason. I'm explaining that I'm can edit others Talk page and Articles in the Main Space. I'm unable or not able to edit my own talk page, draft creation and to edit draft articles. Please explained here that why you can't give me WP:IPBE. Thanks Caxwax (talk) 12:37, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The IP address range you are occasionally using is blocked for making exactly the same sort of edits as you are making with this account. You are free to request IPBE from another admin, but this is my final word. --Yamla (talk) 12:42, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

LB&SCR E2
Thanks for blocking him. Funnily enough, I'm pretty sure he is being truthful that he's not related to Aecws. I'm fairly confident he's actually the community-banned Australian railroad IP (which matches his insistence that he's from Australia). In any case, Sockpuppet investigations/LB&SCR E2 can be closed now, it's currently still open (I imagine you blocked the account independently of the SPI). Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:05, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oops, I saw you just reviewed the unblock, and Bbb23 did the initial block. I checked his contributions on the locomotive fandom wiki and they directly match creations by the Australian railroad IP so I'm now fully confident that's who we're dealing with here. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:12, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * While I cannot comment on CU findings (and you aren't asking me to), this does indeed track. They've self-disclosed they are editing from Australia and based on behaviour, this sounds like a close match to that. Thanks! --Yamla (talk) 15:39, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Bbb23 closed the SPI, so we're all done for now. I doubt we've seen the last of him, but I'll keep my eyes open. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Italian
Sometimes I like the vandalism targeting me in Italian. It makes me feel like I'm the subject of Message to Harry Manback. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Transphobes
I blocked as NOTHERE and POV editing after deleting their userpage as a WP:G10. BSR has made an unblock request. Could you please check, the creator (today) of Party of Women? They may just be two transphobes/members of the party (some apparently think so), but I think there's enough evidence to warrant a check. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * ❌. They are geographically close, but the CU data doesn't even point to in this case. Based on gut instinct and not on CU data, I suspect two people from the same off-wiki forum somewhere. --Yamla (talk) 17:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

 * You do not currently have IPBE. And as you are able to edit this page, don't need it at this time. --Yamla (talk) 17:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

About block evasion by User:Vishal Kandassamy
Hi. I saw that you declined an unblock request at User talk:117.252.145.54 (part of the recently blocked IP range Special:Contributions/117.252.144.0/20 and I agree with the decline. From the history of that talk page, Special:Contributions/59.93.10.170 made that unblock request strongly suggesting User:Vishal Kandassamy is probably using that IP to evade their original block as well. Can you please look into this? Thank you. ~ SG5536B  ( talk ) 15:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, they obviously are. For those following along, that's based on behaviour, I haven't looked at the CU evidence. --Yamla (talk) 16:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Contentious Topics User
Hi, could you take a look at User talk:SelfStarter2? I don't know what to do... My real namm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 20:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm leaving shortly. Please contact another administrator or WP:AIV (I'm not sure that noticeboard is appropriate). --Yamla (talk) 21:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Query
Hello, do these edits by on his user page  violate his | topic ban on editing about Vikings? I'll note that the original text he's adding to appears to predate the topic ban.--Ermenrich (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would agree those are violations. I sincerely hope Dan Koehl self-reverts. --Yamla (talk) 11:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Please check
Please check my draft page, I was banned from editing. So make a draft to unblock my account,Draft:2024 Myanmar Women's League and Draft:2024 MNL League Cup final. Please help me to get edit. If i need something, reply me. Thanks (talk) 16:51, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Replied
I've replied that one. Thanks. -Lemonaka 00:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I wonder...
Given the IP range overlap(s), the undiscussed page moves and redirect creations, and the wiktionary edits, I wonder if is /. With the sock you uncovered it doesn't matter much, but the overlap is interesting.-- Ponyo bons mots 19:35, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't have the IP ranges in front of me right now. The timing on that account certainly makes this a possibility and this account made a significant number of low-quality edits to get their edit count up. --Yamla (talk) 20:06, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't run a check myself, I just peeked at the ranges you ran on the Par âpre account and looked at the logs for previous checks on those ranges. That's where Wahakadha popped up. If it is them, they seemed to have become fed up with trying to game EC to edit PIA topics and are now just outright trolling. -- Ponyo bons mots 20:24, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation
Hi Yamla :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 17:23, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Tomasz1123
Hello. Does this and this look like another sock of Tomasz1123 to you? Want me to file an SPI? Thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 22:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hard to see how that could be considered constructive. I'm not immediately convinced they are Tomasz1123, but it's definitely worth an SPI. --Yamla (talk) 22:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No it's not because of a different name not with Tomasz prefix and creating non-disruptive edits Ritchie7473 (talk) 23:22, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * And because of different iP address Ritchie7473 (talk) 23:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It looks like they are to me. I've blocked and tagged.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Bbb23. Pretty straight-forward once they admit it here. --Yamla (talk) 09:41, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Murmayo
Hello, I saw that you rejected this user's appeal. I'd recommend revoking talk page access, given that they are using it to make trolling editing requests to pages. Thank you. JeffSpaceman (talk) 10:01, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Already done by another admin. --Yamla (talk) 18:44, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

IP 8
If you feel I went too far, feel free to restore Talk access. That was just already ridiculous with the joe job on IP5 (who was socking) and it was clear they just wanted to toy with us and weren't going to stop. Will be offline for a few hours, sorry to leave you with the mess. Star  Mississippi  22:51, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem, I think that was a good move on your part. --Yamla (talk) 09:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
