Questions from Kolya Butternut

 * I'm confused about why this question is not seen as within community norms. This is connected to a case which I was involved in, so candidates' responses to this question will help to inform my vote, unlike the answers to topics I am unfamiliar with. I am not particularly concerned if this person continues to edit Wikipedia at this point (when the edits are constructive, as opposed to !voting in RFCs for example); I see socks that pop up as similar to an article on my watchlist that has bugs. I am concerned, however, that this topic seems to be treated differently than any other potential LTA. I think that documenting a stale sock on an SPI page is helpful, if not for behavioral evidence than as a history of socking timelines. Beeblebrox's comment was I fail to see any point to an investigation of any kind. I would expect at least a five minute lookover. As a followup, do you feel that documenting a stale sock on the SPI page of a potential LTA is helpful? Kolya Butternut (talk) 12:20, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Much of what is informing my opinion of "not within community norms" is historical, so I won't go further into that now. Regarding your direct question - I'm all for documentation - adding the stale potential sock to the SPI page is a useful thing to do for a number of reasons.
 * It can show the pattern of socking, if future socks are discovered.
 * It can show the potential extent of socking.
 * It shows what similarities have been found and the result given. In this case the result is "May or may not be accurate, not worth further investigation".
 * It can show who has been doing the investigation, what level of investigation they have put and what level of interest they have.
 * I saw absolutely no issue with you filing that report, that action was a good one. I also see no problem with the outcome of "stale, nothing more to do". WormTT(talk) 12:54, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
