I suspected as much. See here. What convinced you (putting aside the technical details)? And how are you, btw, long time no talk?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:49, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

I ran a check on User:Denmark's Great Dane and then on the blocked ranges they were using to suss out the master. Your two accounts popped up in one of the ranges, I sorta tripped over them. I have a crazy work update for you, I'll email you soon. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:56, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Well? No fair teasing and then not following through. You managed to welcome those new poor schnooks to our little group.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:00, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

But that was just a single word and exclamation point! Anyhoo, email sent.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:21, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Cagatay Ulusoy article

Dear Ponyo,

I thought It would be helpful for the readers to know the reason why the show's ratings was bad, which is why I added those sources. Anyway thanks as always, and don't work too hard! 02:19, 1 October 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1810:3812:AD00:8D7E:ED49:4474:491E (talk)

As it's sourced it would be relevant for the article on the program itself, however the poor ratings have nothing to do with Ulusoy's appearance on the show so it's not relevant to his article. Does that make sense?--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:51, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Ring-a-ping-ping

Corecting a ping does not notify the pingee. Pings only work if they are done in one edit. So, you need to repost it completely (re-sign, etc.).--Bbb23 (talk) 20:54, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

I pretty much knew that but thought I'd throw caution to the wind regardless as I was too lazy to repost it. This is a common theme with me.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:57, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Huh. I never think of you as lazy. I do sometimes think of myself as lazy.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:20, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Nope, I'm definitely lazy. @Courcelles: tell Bbb23 how lazy I am.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:21, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

She's not lazy, she's just conservative with effort! Courcelles (talk) 04:23, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Or in other words efficient. You lose, Ponyo, two against one.--Bbb23 (talk) 04:37, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Revert

Can you tell me why you revert my edits? Alexander Iskandar (talk) 21:58, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

I did. Also note I've requested help with the clean-up here.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:01, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

So what you expect from me? You expect me to put sources? Alexander Iskandar (talk) 22:03, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

I expect you to not add categories regarding an individual's ethnicity or religion into an article unless it is supported by reliable sources that demonstrates the subject identifies with the given ethnicity or religion, which is what I explained on your talk page. Could you also explain what relation you may have to the account Edi344? You returned from a very long break and picked up editing the same subjects within a week of my blocking that account for WP:BLPCAT violations.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:08, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

In Malaysia, the Malaysian citizen who are constitutionally recognized as Malays is expected to be a Muslim no matter if he/she is pious person or not, speak Malay language although he/she only able to speak informal Malay language, and follow the Malay customs although it may seem unclear since the Malay customs may varied according to the places. That's how constitution works. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 22:13, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

If the individual does not self-identify as Muslim, we do not force the categorization upon them. Similarly, you need to consider whether the religion or ethnicity is a defining characteristic of the individual. If not, it shouldn't be added. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:17, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't have relation with the account Edi344. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 22:20, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) AI please read WP:CATDEF as much of what Ponyo is referring to is spelled out there. MarnetteD|Talk 22:22, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Although the person is recognized as Muslim on identity card (Mykad), it does not guarantee that he/she is proud with his/her religion. I highlight your advise, "unless it is supported by reliable sources that demonstrates the subject identifies with the given ethnicity or religion," and "If the individual does not self-identify as Muslim, we do not force the categorization upon them.". I do agree with your advise and have to reconsider and spend time to recheck my latest edits. Thanks for reminding me. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 22:31, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

If you could help in reviewing the edits it would be very much appreciated. It's time consuming as I have to read the entire article and evaluate the sources to see if the edit can be restored. This article is an example of where the religious category would be applicable, if reliably sourced, since his religion is part of his political stance.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:35, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

First step, I already added five reliable sources for justifying the Kitingan's self-identifying religion and ethnicity. I hope that you don't revert my edits, give me time to recheck my edits and provide reliable sources. Your co-operation is my pleasure. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 23:08, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Category:Malaysian people of Hokkien descent

And a couple of others - you deleted them, but they had been newly-created by category moves, and as a result some history got deleted as well. I'm not sure they're all the best-named categories - I think a couple are certainly not - but in those cases I would have moved the categories back to their original names, to preserve the history. If you don't mind I shall do that tomorrow, I think. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:37, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Please fix them as you see fit, with an eye to WP:BLPCAT.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 05:40, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Will do. I'm off to bed for now, but I shall do it upon my awakening. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 10:10, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello sir

You blocked user:NewMutants but he is still able to send mails. I recently received one from him saying that "he'll be back and no checkuser will ever be able to catch him" (can send you a screenshot if you want). Apropos, I request blocking his email rights too. Thanks.—TripWire ^talk 08:48, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

@Bbb23: as Ponyo is away, can you please look into this matter as this blocked user is still sending me useless mails. Though I couldnt care less, but he shouldnt be allowed to abuse this privilege. Thanks —TripWire ^talk 10:46, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@TripWire: You shouldn't get any more. Ponyo, I checked but feel free to reverse my action.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:01, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Bbb23. TripWire I'll make sure to yank email access for any future blocks.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:56, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Walter Görlitz

You're probably doing something selfish like enjoying your weekend. What is the world coming to? Whenever you see this, let me know what you think should be done with the SPI. It's unusual and I'm failing to come up with a Solomonic decision.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:23, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

I agree with the comments you made at the SPI; if he doesn't want others to be concerned about his edits he needs to stop flipping back and forth between the IP and his account, especially if he's editing the same topic area. Obviously the undisclosed logged-out edits were similar enough and caused enough concern to raise alarm bells for at least one other editor. As the connection has now been disclosed via the SPI, perhaps the entire issues is moot?--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:13, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't think the SPI disclosure is enough because there are too many editors who would never think to look there. I realize it's unusual, but what about a disclosure on his user page, just like any alternative account except in this case it's an IP?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:55, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

That's an option if they still want to mix logged-in and logged-out edits given that they have admitted it is indeed their work IP.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:36, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Odd first edit

Hi! I don't do much sock stuff anymore, but [1] is an odd first edit, at least to me. --Rschen7754 21:28, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Ponyo will know more about this than I, but based on the IPs used and the kinds of edits, I suspect William Pina. I can't confirm it because all Pina's socks are stale. BTW, that's not the only odd edit this user has made. It's the first of many.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:19, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Definitely William Pina.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

It's amazing to me when editors can suss out an editor who is socking, even from relatively few edits, and link it to another editor who might have edited months or years ago. I guess you have to know their "tell" or maybe there is some secret sock instinct. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:50, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Unsuccessful socks are creatures of habit and always return to the same articles/topics/arguments and are spotted eventually due to their familiar behaviour. If they would just edit other topics in a constructive manner we would never think of connecting them to their old accounts and they wouldn't be blocked. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

@Liz: In this case, the first edit was to identify one of their blocked socks... sadly, the number of blocked accounts becomes some sort of bragging right with quite a few LTAs. --Rschen7754 20:36, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

@Rschen7754: I don't get what motivates them. I suppose that sometimes an editor receives a block and then decides, "Hey, if I can't edit, I'll cause trouble because, hell, I'm bored."

But there have been thousands of identified sock masters and most only come back a few times and then, the person moves on. Relatively few sockpuppet masters end up becoming LTAs so I guess it's easy to keep tabs on the regulars. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:11, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Signa Vianen

No, I cannot possibly fight over my own content. I deleted my content as it was mine to delete. Do I need to explain myself on this.

TheRedPenOfDoom intentionally ignored my valid arguments and even used insults to address my edits. I am Vianen, and I wish my content to be DELETED. Nows how do I go about this!

The return of Comic Relief

Hi P. These brought me the chuckle that you enjoyed few days ago. I'm glad that some of us get to smile in the face of the drahmaz that goes on around here. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 20:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm happy to return the favour.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:06, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

My talk page

Hi Ponyo—I see you just revdelled the grossly insulting material on my talk page. However there have been revisions to the page since then on which the said insults remain. I'm actually quite happy for this to remain so people can see what this guy said (and how I replied), but if you'd rather remove it, the revisions since then need to be revdelled as well. Thanks, —  Cliftonian (talk)  16:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

@Cliftonian: It's your call, I can revdelete the remainder (which I obviously missed - sorry!) or un-delete what is hidden. It was disgusting, I'm sorry you had to see it at all, and I've blocked the IP.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:32, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

I think I'd rather have it undeleted so people can see it, if that's okay. Thanks for your help Ponyo, and I hope you're having a good week so far. —  Cliftonian (talk)  16:36, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I've undeleted it per your request. Let me know if you change your mind at any time. Cheers, --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:47, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Ponyo, I appreciate it. —  Cliftonian (talk)  16:47, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

He's posted again on my page from a different IP: [2], [3]. This I would like revdelled, please. Thanks —  Cliftonian (talk)  04:37, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Done. Please let me know if I missed anything.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Third World Centre for Water Management

So, Ponyo (by the sea!), I have this OTRS ticket VRTS ticket # 2015092610018353 from the creator of this page, which you deleted as a blatant hoax. She claims to be a representative of a legitimate think tank, and would like her page undeleted. I told her I would contact you and ask for some elaboration on the blatant hoax reasoning. She seems rather sincere... Check out the ticket if you want to learn more. Ping me with questions or any other response you may have. THX! KDS4444^Talk 09:49, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

@KDS4444: The article was created by a prolific and disruptive sock master and included sentences such as "its pork and objective analyses indicate that some of the most popular paradigms" "dams are absolutely essential for the regional pigs of all countries at a certain time" and "international institutions or private sector chipped marshmellows". The institute may be real, however the article that was created (and subsequently deleted) was a hoax.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:11, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I see. Now, the person requesting undeletion claims to be the creator of the page, and stated in her OTRS ticket that the page was subsequently modified by someone else and then deleted. As a non-admin, I can't see the original edit history of the page to see what accounts were used to create or modify the file prior to deletion, nor what content it had along the way, I can only see that it was deleted and the reason for deletion. Could you fill me in on what I can't view? I can then take this back to the OTRS client and go over it with her. Thanks! KDS4444^Talk 23:55, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

@KDS4444: The excerpts I provided above are from the very first edit/creation of the article, which also included "Furthermore, in spite of the current global rhetoric, they are unlikely to work in most countries at macro- and meso-level policies, programmes and baked beans". The sockpuppet/creator of the article was Denmark's Great Dane.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 04:01, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

LondonTurk

Thanks for locking the page down - I could've sworn that I'd done that myself at one point. (sighs) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:00, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

There was no benefit to anyone in leaving that page open after today's edits. There's venting and then there's outright disruption. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 04:03, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Cruks

Ponyo, I note that you have already visited User talk:Cruks in the past. I just saw that this relatively new user is throwing templated warnings around at other editors, even as he reverts constructive edits that are being made pursuant to standard MOS provisions, etc., to his favorite articles. See, e.g., the recent edit history of John Cryan. I don't want to see anyone get blocked, dragged to ANI, beaten with a wet noodle, etc., but someone needs to take this guy in hand and explain the way of the wiki-world (or at least its basics) to him. Since you already have prior history, I nominate you for the job! Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 12:03, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I had the perfect storm of family and work obligations over the past few days that have kept me completely offline. It looks like Philafrenzy has told them to stop adding inappropriate warnings, and Cruks has barely edited since then. I'll keep an eye on the situation, but the warning to Edwardx was absolutely unwarranted.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:37, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words of reassurance! Edwardx (talk) 12:02, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Ponyo. I was really just a passerby when I saw the situation and thought the whole thing was a little odd. I mean, it's not like Wikipedia doesn't have it's share of characters, but, well, this one stood out . . . Thanks for keeping an eye on it. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 12:11, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

User:39.55.171.195 Is a vandaliser.

Dear Ponyo,

This user with an ip address 39.55.171.195 (talk · contribs) from Pakistan is a vandaliser. Would you check it out? Thank you much (2A02:1810:3812:AD00:BDF7:E0DF:66F7:72D5 (talk) 12:11, 9 October 2015 (UTC))

First, this appears more to be a content dispute as opposed to outright vandalism. Second, they are no longer editing. If you believe that an editor is engaging in outright vandalism (according to WP:VAND) then the best place to report them is WP:AIV.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:51, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

I see! Thanks anyway. By the way, welcome back! (2A02:1810:3812:AD00:3DA8:5407:7D4:611 (talk) 17:09, 14 October 2015 (UTC))

User: 208.54.38.175

Hello Ponyo, Apologies for contacting you again, but I wonder if I could ask for your advice/action? In the last 24 hours 208.54.38.175 (talk · contribs) has embarked on a torrent of personal abuse, per WP:NPA on myself and two other editors on the Ted Bundy Talk page and edit warring on the article page, although they have - so far - not exceeded 3RR. I and the other two editors have presented the evidence for the statements made on the article and asked, via the Talk page, that personal comments should not be part of any discussion. However, they have continued the personal abuse in the latest reply to DoctorJoeE. Is this a case for, at least a warning, or a temporary block? Do have a good weekend. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 19:44, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Since the above, user has been blocked by another admin for being a sockpuppet. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 22:50, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Looks like the socking continued on for a while until the page was ultimately semi-protected. There seem to be plenty of eyes on the situation should it flare up again. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:54, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Nair redux

Hi Ponyo, As you've handled the recent Nair related CU stuff and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Rabt man, can you take a look at 106.51.20.13 (talk · tag · contribs · count · WHOIS · ip details · trace · RBLs • http • logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · spi · checkuser · socks ), the exact same articles and now "do not meddle with the identity of an entire community" which is sort of duckish for me. I had issued Rabt man a final warning to mend ways or an indefinite block after a BLP vio in addition to all the other stuff, then this IP started editing Talk:Nair and Talk:Ezhava as well as the other haunts of St Thomas Christians, Caste in Kerala etc. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 16:28, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

It's Howdy Doody Day! Nope, that's not right. It's Thanksgiving Day in Canada, and my good guess is Ponyo won't be back until it's over (she's been off-wiki all weekend).--Bbb23 (talk) 16:50, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

A wonderful time to retreat up north from Vancouver I guess, perfect for a drive up and down Highway 99, but I've waited so long on this IP that a bit longer probably won't matter. —SpacemanSpiff 19:27, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Unless there are undetected proxies at work (which is a possibility), the IP is unrelated to Rabt man. A strong behavioural overlap can trump CU data however. If the IP is being disruptive then they should be warned accordingly; either something productive will come of the warnings or they may end up blocked regardless of any connection to the proposed sockmaster. Now I'm off to continue digesting my Thanksgiving feast! --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:04, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

ACT is a relatively new ISP and only picking up subscribers and are laying cables based on who signs up, don't think there's any proxying involved. There's a behavioral connect, but that's been there across sock farms. The AE sanction will kick in on the article and talk page soon, so I guess we won't have this problem in a few days. Enjoy the rest of the turkey! —SpacemanSpiff 17:53, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Reminder: Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

I wanted to follow-up on an message I sent you in September regarding the need for you to sign a confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 31 December 2015) in order to maintain your access from Wikimedia to nonpublic information.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 31 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015, you will lose your access to nonpublic information.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 31 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,

Your comment

Hello Ponyo. About your recent comment. Are you suggesting these two editors might be related? At first sight they have little in common. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:32, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: The two users made nearly identical back to back unblock requests to UTRS via the same IP (link here). I'll take another look...--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:44, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: Ok, what apparently happened is that Simpleabd wanted to post multiple unblock requests via UTRS. As he already had an open request the system (correctly) blocked him from doing so. In order to circumvent the programming he used the same IP and email address to post a subsequent appeal, but used the name of another currently blocked user (Bog5576) to do so. In the thousands of requests I've handled at UTRS I've never seen a user attempt this. I've blocked them from making further appeals through this route and pointed them to WP:BASC. I've also removed my invalid comment from Bog5576's talk page. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, you learn something new every day! --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Aboobackeramani socks

Hi Ponyo. I was working on an update to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aboobackeramani but you're so wonderfully quick! I am pretty sure that SunnyCJoseph (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) is a sleeper judging from [4]. Sriharitvm (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) is also involved, they edited the Calicut Review incarnation that was a soft redirect to now deleted ml:കാലിക്കറ്റ്‌ റിവ്യൂ according to Liz. Do you want me to file that based on behavior? Should I contact a steward in regards to the remaining articles on .ar, .ks, .tr, and .ur? -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 21:28, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam, it's always a pleasure hearing from you. I've blocked SunnyCJoseph and added him to the SPI. Sriharitvm is certainly  Possible based on geolocation, however I'm not confident enough in the results to CU block the account. I've salted Calicut Review, however if there is cross-wiki disruption it certainly wouldn't hurt to give the Stewards a head's up.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:50, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Removed our Content

Hi Ponyo. I have removed the paragraph that had been authored by us on the dredging page. If it is OK for others to plagarize OUR content, but not Ok for us to list the right source, just not interested in contributing the content.

Wvonmayer (talk) 23:03, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

If the content itself was previously published by you then it's correct to remove it altogether as it is likely a copyright violation. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:10, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

————

Yes, indeed. Especially since we are the ones who created and contributed the content in the first place. Ironic to see how it was Ok for someone to plagiarize our work as their own for so many years, yet now that I try to credit the correct source.... I am not allowed.

Wvonmayer (talk) 00:04, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

What is your problem with the KURDS?

What is your problem with the Kurds? I see that you are chasing the Kurds all over the Wikipedia day and night and erase everthing related to them, don't you have a life?!!!Salar Kamangar is Kurd and the source that you want is his Kurdish tribe Kamangar which is very famous in Iran and he is related to Farzad Kamangar who has been executed by the terrorist persian islamic regime in Tehran. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chawimin (talk • contribs) 21:50, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Could you add a protection(pc or semi) to the article. Too many editors(Ips and non-confirmed users) are vandalising this page. Chander 09:05, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I semi-protected it as readers and editors were adding their own personal names and info to the the article. It's too active for Pending Changes in my opinion, but we can switch it if the activity level drops.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:31, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

User:Pbfreespace3 SPI which you finished yesterday

Hi. I see that you have finished yesterday the SPI relating to User:Pbfreespace3 (which I filed) and Bbb23 archived it. But I just found another sockpuppet: User:Hogg 22. It is probably the original sockmaster since it is a relative sleeper. It had 28 edits from 13 October 2012 to 10 September 2015. And suddenly became very active a few days after User:Pbfreespace3 was blocked, making 64 edits from 5 October 2015 to today, on completely different topics from before… Could you do a quick checkuser on it (I am 100% sure it is him)? Or do you want me to file a new SPI? 82.123.247.27 (talk) 04:54, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

IP-Blocked

My IP 103.27.171.54 has been blocked (disabled) by ProcseeBot. Can you please help me out as to how to apply for IP-Block exemption rights as i am unable to submit an appeal. Lakun.patra (talk) 10:01, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

The IP is correctly blocked as an open proxy; Port 80 was still open when I checked it just now. Given that you posted here, you are obviously able to edit without the use of a proxy so you're not eligible for IP block exemption as you don't meet the "extraordinary need" criteria as outlined at WP:IPEC. Note this doesn't mean that you're not a trusted user, only that you don't qualify for IPBE as you are able to edit through other means than the blocked proxy.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:56, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Re message re block

I believe I got a blind email from you regarding a block lift request; is this the proper place to discuss that? Anmccaff (talk) 18:04, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Did you make an unblock appeal via WP:UTRS perhaps?--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:17, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Yupper....no, that'd be "no, actually. Just the the unblock template. Anmccaff (talk) 18:21, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

I just double checked your request and it was indeed made through the WP:UTRS email system. The only message from me was to advise you that the block had already expired so I'm not sure what there is to discuss.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:26, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Interesting. All I used personally was the on-page. More to the point, though, I wanted to discuss the substance, not the mechanism. Anmccaff (talk) 18:28, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

The appeal originated from your email address, that's the only way I could have replied to it. The substance of your content dispute isn't relevant to me as an administrator, however there are multiple dispute resolution methods available to you. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:34, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Not according to me, or, perhaps more reliably, my outfolder, it didn't. That aside, I understand that you, like other admins, do not deal with content disputes, and don't see where I raised that question. Anmccaff (talk) 18:57, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't believe it would show in your out folder because it's sent internally via this interface. Regardless, you said above you wanted to talk about the "substance" of your appeal, which I took as you wanting to discuss the content dispute you were involved in. At this point I have no clue what it is you want, so go ahead and illuminate me.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:21, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Well, that's a tall order; I thought Miyazaki already took care of that better than I ever could. No, my question was about blocks, possible mistakes about blocks, and how they are reviewed, as well as about my own minor example. Since a good many "editors" -and even a few admins- make decisions about filing, or who to block based on previous blocks, and apparently even on resoundingly declined AN requests, there really oughta be a mechanism for noting which actions were borderline, which were, in retrospect, wrong, and which reflected incompetence or malice by the filer. It appears, however that there isn't a way of dealing with this, except case by case? Anmccaff (talk) 19:39, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

A late reply as I'm battling a head cold and, at approximately 20:00 UTC yesterday, the head cold won. If you still believe that the block was in error and wish to pursue the matter the I suppose WP:AN would be the most appropriate venue. If you would like to receive broader input as to the blocking policy and block review process as a whole then the village pump would be the way to go.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:09, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh, no hurry was or is needed; the personal stuff is stale, and any changes to the big picture would probably be glacially slow. I think, though, that the system is slightly broken, and that gives a real advantage to....less useful?... wikipedians who know how to game the system. Good luck with the sinuses et al; when I get one a' them head cold thingies, the majority of my upper teeth feel like they are abscessed at the roots. Nothing to take lightly, these "minor" viruses. Anmccaff (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Agreed.

Thank you for letting me know. It won't happen again. I will assure that all accepted revisions are sourced. CLCStudent (talk) 17:36, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Perfect. You can always research and add a reliable source, if you can find one, prior to accepting an edit. Most DOBs and stats added to the infobox without a source are coming from IMDB or other "bio" compendia-type sites that don't meet WP:RS.

Hello

Hello,

I noticed your concern here about this user. I just wanted to leave him a warning too for still using constantly fake edit summaries, and as well as continuously adding unsourced/uncited content (mostly pov-related), but hes had already so many warnings. Any opinion what to do? I can drop 50 diffs if needed that show that he still uses fake edit summaries, as well as drops no-brainer content. Most of his edits are very problematic.

The EZ Life

Hi, you recently removed my page called The EZ Life I feel that it was wrong and would it be possible to put it back online? The page is about two YouTubers (a couple) they have over 130,000 subscribers and there channel is growing very fast. I understand it may not seem important but to their fans it is. Zach and Emily ( The EZ Life ) both have a pages on Famous Birthdays ( http://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/zach-lawhead.html ). Lots of different YouTubers have Wikipedia pages ( that might not seem important but to their fans it is ) and I feel The EZ Life should have one too. I know that the page will have people look at it and edit it. I appreciate you reading and considering this! Thank You very much!! Eroncam3 (talk) 10:21, 7 November 2015 (UTC)eroncam3

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia on notable topics; it sounds to me what you really want to create is a fan page. There are a multitude of websites and social media venues where you can pursue that goal, but we don't create articles on random YouTubers who do not meet the notability criteria. 130,000 is not that significant, in comparison to those who do meet the notbility criteria (e.g. PewDiePie and Rhett and Link). --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:33, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

The not-so-EZ Life

Hello again Ponyo, you helped me get someone unblocked a few months back, which I appreciated. In return for your kind assistance, I bring you nothing but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. User:Drmies has thrown you to the Alabama Alligators, with the suggestion that you run for arb. [7] My sincere condolences, for I agree with the good doktor's prescription. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

I like to dedicate the time I have available on Wikipedia to trying to make things a little better and easier for those who are building the encyclopedia, whether through their content creation, gnoming, or BLP monitoring. I prefer taking action as opposed to talking action. I don't think I'd be a good fit for ArbCom; all that work only to come up with proposals and results that satisfy no one. While I certainly appreciate the trust that you and the Good Doctor have placed in me, I believe my strengths lie elsewhere.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:08, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Well, from my perspective that is an excellent nom-statement, for an arb-run. Yes, there is a lot of talking. Yes, sometimes it seems precious little of the talking leads to results that satisfy (either inaction, or worse, counterproductive action). So although I won't twist your arm... much ... I do think that your keen desire to make things better for building the encyclopedia, is very much an arbcom-member-trait I'd like to see, in as much abundance as can be managed. There are good people on arbcom, and they are trying very hard to Improve The 'Pedia, but it is not so E.Z. to accomplish in practice! Please keep the idea in mind, to cogitate upon a bit further, and if you seen an opportunity where your skills and work ethic could be used to make wikipedia better overall, by making arbcom better, I would urge you to carpe diem.  :-)     Thanks for all you do, 75.108.94.227 (talk) 22:29, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Since this is the first edit to this userpage maybe a simple deletion would be easier/better than Rev Del, but the edit summary [here] seems to qualify as "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material." Thanks, Meters (talk) 23:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Untitled

Hi, you have undone a lot of the GENUINE content from the Armeena Khan page. She starred in Bin Roye which released all over the world and it made history. Her pictures are constantly removed and her page vandalised by both admins and regular bad users. Armeena is a star in Pakistan, there is no doubt. DAWN news in Pakistan is a huge newspaper and you cannot discredit it. http://www.dawn.com/news/1196406/bin-roye-getting-overwhelming-response-worldwide Google bin Roye if you have ANY doubts about who starred in it and how it did at the box office. We need to find a solution here because you can't just discredit a star like this. We need to insert a picture and we need to update her projects without proper removing them. You need to advise on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cabbagepatchdollkids (talk • contribs) 02:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Well if the individuals behind the giant paid editing marketing push wasn't using multiple accounts (hello brand new account!) to add blatantly promotional material to the article on a daily basis, then there wouldn't be an issue. If Bin Roye is popular, that is something to add to the Bin Roye article. The incessant inclusion of promotional copy full of puffery, peacock phrasing and reference spam is a detriment to the article and the BLP subject herself. Have you read Wikipedia's terms of use regarding paid editing? How about our policies regarding neutrality, abuse of multiple accounts and promotion? Who is this "we" you speak of? The company being paid to puff up the article into a promotional mess?--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:54, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Page Removed - Skydive GB

You marked Skydive GB, Bridlington for speedy deletion due to A7, however this is in the similar layout to other British Parachute Association dropzones, with no lesser or greater content. For example, London Parachute School.

Please reconsider?

BPA Drop Zones

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Yorkshire-rus (talk • contribs)

The article was tagged for deletion by another editor, though I was indeed the admin who acted on the speedy deletion request. The article itself consisted of only three sentences essentially noting the existence of the organization; there was nothing in the content that demonstrated why the company was notable in any way. Please review WP:ORG, and if you believe that Skydive GB, Bridlington meets the notability criteria for inclusion outlined therein, I would suggest starting an article in your user subspace using the article wizard which will guide you through the creation process. This will give you extra time to work on the article at your leisure without worrying it will be immediately deleted. Once it is complete it can then be moved into article space if sourcing and notability guidelines for inclusion are met.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:00, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Privacy

The message you left on my page. I know your saying that we don't have to put everything we see on an article. What else that you typed mean? How much community's vitalines did I break? (WikiEditor905 (talk) 00:01, 12 November 2015 (UTC))

Don't put everything you see on an article, even if's it's a reliable source. If it's for privacy, then why would celebrities put their babies full names and birth dates. TMZ.com got a hold of Adam Brody and Leighton Meester's daughter's birth cerficate. But they blocked out their address and other signatures. (WikiEditor905 (talk) 00:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC))

We err on the side of caution when it comes to protecting the privacy of minors. It does not matter what a gossip website has done to obtain and publish such private information, we don't propagate such rumours and gossip at the expense of the children and family members involved. I've pointed to the policies that support removing the full names and exact birth dates of minors unless they are independently notable from their parents; you can disagree with those policies, but you must abide by them if you would like to edit such articles. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Sock

Hey Ponyo. Our friend appears to be back in the form of this user. A recent article creation was a direct copy and paste from nbafamily wikia, where User:Lilk846 does most of the editing [8]. Also, Kelly Murphy (volleyball) was edited by the IP address and the new account in a very similar way. Also, when communicating with User:Bagumba, the user edited the last section on the talk page to start a new section, rather than pressing "new section" on the top of the page – both User:Lilk846 and all their socks have done this in the past. What do you think? I think it's very obvious. Frustrating, but obvious. DaHuzyBru (talk) 05:22, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I've blocked for evasion. The talk page edits made it a cinch for DUCK. The older socks are probably stale now, but is it worth a CU to rule out any sleepers, based on the history on multiple socks?—Bagumba (talk) 06:24, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Privacy of minors__Due to privacy concerns, please do not include the full names and birth dates of minors unless they are independently notable. WP:DOB and WP:BLPNAME touch on some of the reasons why we err on the side of caution regarding this information. Thank you,--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:41, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

What is not true? The policies I noted in my message to you? That's hardly an argument as they clearly exist. If there are other articles that contain the information then it can be removed unless there is consensus for the inclusion of the full names and exact birth dates for that specific article; you don't keep privacy violations in all articles because they might appear in some articles.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:25, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Dear Ponyo,

So basically what you're saying is this > "No Way A PICTURE" can be obtained from the web and added to the article, period. Even the ones with the source to english wiki... am I right!? (2A02:1810:3812:AD00:7460:598A:81F5:9414 (talk) 01:04, 23 November 2015 (UTC))

No images can be added to the article that do not meet the appropriate licensing criteria for inclusion. The Free Use criteria used in some articles cannot be used when uploading images of living persons for their articles.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:05, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Referencing style

Hi Ponyo. Can you please take a look at this article? The references are unclear and I'm not sure about which tag I should use on top of the article. Besides the "External links" section also seems to have a problem, because it includes all of her official accounts' links. The other actors' articles seems to not have such links. Keivan.f^Talk 06:43, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I've done a bit of clean up and tagged it for a copyedit and for full references as they are all bare urls. Hope this helps!--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:14, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Great, thanks. You also corrected the form of links. But as I just want to know, which tag should I use for an article with unclear references? For example, these two articles (1 & 2) have such references. Keivan.f^Talk 13:04, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The bare urls tag is probably the most relevant.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:02, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the Edit in Manasi Parekh's Page

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Actually, the information earlier I provided was 100% correct. But I don't have any strict proof to prove that. But I will request you to please Refer her Instagram and Twitter Account and some more third-party News Articles.

A brief explanation regarding the precision of the information provided earlier: Check the two surnames, Parekh belongs to her, Gohil belongs to her husband Parthiv Gohil. Please have a look.

Thank You..

The issue here is that the other editors who were adding birth dates that conflict with the one you provided also likely believed that the information they were adding was 100% correct. This is why we insist on the inclusion of reliable sources in such situations as it allows readers to verify the validity of the content they are reading. The Instagram and Twitter accounts you linked to are unverified and therefore cannot be used as a reliable source (see WP:SELFPUB). --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Checkuser request

Hi, I wasn't sure how to request a new report and there's no suspected socks to compare it with. I wanted to know if a a checkuser be done for 7uperWkipedan as suggested by NeilN here. 7uperWkipedan was incorrectly tagged as a sock of AndresHerutJaim when he was actually topic banned from WP:ARBPIA and then indefinitely blocked for not complying with it. However, as pointed out here by Jeppiz action needs to be taken against the sockmaster, who had not been identified and there may also to sleepers still in operation. Tanbircdq (talk) 23:11, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant to go to your talk page to chat but I got caught up in another sock check after reverting. Elockid ran the checks with regard to that particular SPI. I'm not sure how much information they will be able to divulge, but they would be the right person from which to request clarification.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:16, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Retired template

I missed the section in the "template usage" box as otherwise I would have got rid of that as well. However given that you clearly seem to object to the edit I've started a talk page discussion. Dpmuk (talk) 23:57, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

The entire point of the template is to denote users who no longer edit the project. You may disagree with it, however blanking the template usage instructions and documentation that have been in place for years in order to continue to use it incorrectly on your own user pages is wholly inappropriate. I have no idea why one would want to use a template that is blatantly misleading to other editors when there are readily available alternatives that more accurately reflect reality, but that's neither here nor there I suppose. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

That's not the reason I blanked it - I blanked it because I believe, and I still do believe that that instructions shouldn't be used to remove the retired template from other people' user pages as WP:UP gives latitude. I would not have made such a change just to use it on my own page. You'll note that I didn't remove the definition as there was no reason to remove that, as I say I strongly disagree with the definition, but it has been there a long time and there is no contradictory guideline or policy, so I agree removing that without discussion would be wrong. However, in my opinion, I believe suggesting users removed it from other users pages is a different situation as it goes against the WP:UP guideline and so I did not feel it inappropriate to boldly remove it. Dpmuk (talk) 00:18, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

OK, on a second look at my edit, I did remove a bit that was quite definition like and I may have erred a bit there - I might have been better rephrasing the first sentence I removed. But I assure you my purpose was to try to stop people removing the template from other people's user page - I probably could have done that better. Dpmuk (talk) 00:22, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

I've noted my opinion on the talk page. While I wouldn't edit war to remove the template from a user page where it doesn't apply, I reiterate my concern that the template documentation should not be removed in order to allow for the template's use in a misleading fashion and in a manner that allows for gaming the system.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 00:29, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

That's fair. As I explain on the talk page I don't think using it the way I do is generally misleading - it may be to the small percentage of editors that have read the template documentation and/or WP:RETIRED but not to editors in general. In fact I think using "semi-retired" in this circumstance is likely to be more misleading as it implies I may actually respond to their copyright or admin issues. I thought carefully about what template to use and decided retired was the less misleading, which is why I thought it inappropriate for someone to use that statement in the documentation to remove it from my page. I don't feel it was necessary for a specific statement about gaming the system is necessary as that applies to all user templates and that was part of my reasoning in deciding to be bold.

Obviously the appropriate place to discuss the template is on its talk page. I just didn't want to leave you with the impression that I made the change I did just to have it on my pages. My intent was to try to stop that statement being used as a basis for edit warring the removal of the template. I don't feel that there is, currently, consensus for such drastic actions especially given the leeway explicit in WP:UP. Dpmuk (talk) 00:39, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

NI Rape addict

Hello Ponyo, Regret to inform you that our Northern Ireland Rape addict has again surfaced with a mass of same style edits under the IP 31.54.250.128 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Can I, once again, leave this with you?

I only see 1 recent edit from them on The Searchers (film) article, and talk pages are generally left unprotected except in cases of extreme disruption (and even then only for a short period). Although frustrating, the best way forward is to simply block on sight.

Okay. That is clarified, that G5 only applies if the author was already banned or blocked, either a sock-puppet, or in violation of a topic-ban. In this case the author was blocked for blatant promotion after legally writing the article. Many such articles, created for blatant promotion, can also be G11'd. That one cannot.

If the subject meets Wikipedia's notability criteria the article will be kept. The best way to demonstrate notability is through the inclusion of reliable sources. On a not-so-related note, Legacypac, please don't refer to a 24-year-old woman as a "girl". --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:07, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Sandbox deletion

Why is it that my sandbox would get deleted? I had been told by administrators that sandboxes were allowed to be posted as long as there wasn't inflammatory material. Some recent edits have prejudicially made me a wider target recently. (ScreenJunkiesMovieFightsandTVFights (talk) 23:13, 11 December 2015 (UTC))

See WP:NOTWEBHOST. Looking at the page, it was at such a level of detail that it was more suitable for a fan site, not Wikipedia. It was in no shape to be a Wikipedia article and sandboxes are for working on articles, not for hosting non-related information. That's my opinion and I'm not speaking for Ponyo. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:23, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict) As was explained to you here, that is incorrect. Wikipedia is not to be used as a webhost for content unrelated to article creation and related collaboration. There are many websites that you can use to host your tens of thousands of bytes of material and laundry list of youtube links on your favourite program; there is zero benefit to Wikipedia in providing you with a free webhost to keep it here. I can email you the content so you can post it elsewhere if you're so inclined. I have no clue what "Some recent edits have prejudicially made me a wider target recently" refers to, so I can't help you there.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:24, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Well it's obvious that you don't need the content emailed to you as you just restored it wholesale. It has again been deleted.

I didn't expand the references at Nur Fettahoğlu. I think there's a gadget that some editors use to expand refs, but I don't use it. I've tagged the reference section as using bare urls so that others who are so inclined can expand them.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:07, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

About the warning on User talk:Chica7776

Hi, I've seen that you have placed a warning message on User talk:Chica7776. While the message is valid, the editor receiving the warning seems to have just lose a friend/relative, hence their creation of a memorial page for them. Please consider replacing the warning with a less strongly worded one. Thanks, Darylgolden^(talk) Ping when replying 00:40, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

You are incorrect. As you cannot see the deleted article that they (and their sock) created that was very obviously a mix of vandalism and threatening material you would not know that, however. The material has been oversighted and both accounts blocked.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:22, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Yet another

Hi P. yet another of our NI IPs has popped up as 31.49.26.115 (talk · contribs). So far this one has only posted at the "refdesk entertainment" so, other than the block evasion, they haven't gone to their obsession (yet) but I thought I'd let ya know just for the record. I hope that you and yours are proceeding through the season of tinsel and mistletoe in fine form. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 19:43, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Which one is this again? Sorry, they all blur together after a while.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:54, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry P. I should have been more explicit, This is out Northern Ireland IP hopper. This User talk:109.151.65.218 is the page where we have been tracking the various IPs. MarnetteD|Talk 21:28, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Ah yes...now blocked.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Sock of returned Shulinjiang

Handled at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shulinjiang

You blocked this IP before, he has returned now, and disrupting many pages.[10][11][12] For match see[13][14], still operated by same person.

Capitals00 (talk) 07:04, 17 December 2015 (UTC) ___________________________________________________ Admin, please do not listen to him. I am not a sock, I got blocked for unjust reason and I do not know whom shulinjiang is. Capitals00 however, is a proven sock. Just go take a look at his block log. He has the exact same name! He has at least 6 accounts dedicated for vandalizing trolling and spreading pro Indian propaganda. Here are some of his other socks: User:D4iNa4, User:OwnDealers, User:Littleboygenius, User:Chipperdude15, User:D4iNa4, and urser:122.170.132.127 Here is his block log: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3ACapitals00 My guess is that he got block many time back in 2013 with this account user:Capitals00, and recently his main account got blocked for a long period of time and that he is back using this one again. Look at who is the real sock here. Capitals00 is a real nasty proven sock whom try to use you to block me for sock which I am actually not. After that he can then go on vandalizing, disruptive edit, edit warring and spread his pro Indian propaganda. Please do not be fooled by him and be used by him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.74.52.147 (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2015 (UTC) --162.74.52.147 (talk) 14:01, 17 December 2015 (UTC) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Capitals00 is back vandalizing on multiple articles with his pro India propaganda and lies.

User: Connerdn

Hello Ponyo, Trust you are well? Could I please bring to your attention the activities of Connerdn (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) on the Bow Group article. This user is reverting sourced links on the article and has done so for over five times in the past 48 hours. The previously unexplained reversals have been reverted by ScrapIronIV and myself. Additionally, this person is now making threats of legal action against editors for reverting their "edits". Can I leave this with you please for action? Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 18:49, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

They stopped after the 3RR warning. If they continue they can be reported at WP:3RN.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:12, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

An SPI/AIV kitten for you!

@Ponyo and Ohnoitsjamie: Hi guys. I only just recently started using AIV and SPI, a few weeks ago, after years of dreading it. I have had pretty much all very good experiences and I am surprised at the efficacy and swiftness of the service. The user interface is a nightmare until I figured it out (and now it's merely bad), after having failed repeatedly over the years. Anyway, this baby kitty right here is hoping for the day of real quality assurance and reputation for the Wikipedia userbase someday. Until then, he's extra extra grateful for your service.

Don't worry, it will eventually get easier as you get used to it, at which point someone will make radical changes to improve it and you'll have to relearn everything. Percival is cute, thanks! OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:05, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure User:Coast Bridge is a sockpuppet of Janagewen

User:Coast Bridge made only one edit before being blocked, and 1) the edit was correct (see my comment when reverting your reversion) and 2) the edit summary is clear, correct English and doesn't profanely rant, so it doesn't sound all that much like Janagewen. User:Sir.Mot is pretty clearly Janagewen, but I'm not so sure about User:Coast Bridge. Guy Harris (talk) 01:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

@Guy Harris: It's definitely Janagewen. They are technically indistinguishable from the Sir.Mot account and they admitted that they were Janagewen on Meta (resulting in a global block).--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:28, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Not entirely sure who I'm married to...

Hey Ponyo. I hope you don't mind but I hid those two revisions because I'd rather not have the area I live in plastered all over talk pages. I hope that's ok. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 17:23, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Template talk:.NET Framework version history

Hi.

I noticed you reverted one instance of inappropriate archiving of talk page. You might want to be comprehensive and delete this as well: Template talk:.NET Framework version history/Archive 1.

But of course, feel free not to trust me and double check; you know, the old "look before you jump" principle.

Maithili language

Hi Ponyo. After you protected the article, a new user again changed the language box by adding Madhesh next to |states= and by replacing the link to Terai, Nepal. Madhesh is not a state nor country, and the region's name is Terai, both in Nepal and India. Not only Madheshi people live in the Terai, but several other ethnic groups as well. So naming the region Madhesh is misleading and moreover a highly political issue at present, in view of the conflict going on since end of Sept 2015. Therefore, I suggest to revert the links to Terai and stay out of politics in regards to this article. -- BhagyaMani at 113.199.245.25 (talk) 09:10, 22 December 2015 (UTC) because I forgot my password while travelling.

If the information added or changed is obviously incorrect then please correct it, however be mindful of edit-warrring and ensure your open a discussion and follow Wikipedia's dispute resolution suggestions.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:00, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Consider visiting the user's SPI who you recently blocked

As these are IP addresses there is nothing I can add to the SPI (per our Privacy Policy), though Xtremedood's block should be extended if the reviewing Clerk or Administrator believes there is continued socking.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:03, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
