Possible sockpuppet User: MrsIrinaO'Konnell

Hello. I think the sockpuppet User:Bostongarden1942 is back in another incarnation. Or maybe another sockpuppet. This time the sockpuppet appears to be User: MrsIrinaO'Konnell. There is discussion (or attempts) here:

• User talk:MrsIrinaO'Konnell
• Talk:List of countries by wealth per adult

User:Bostongarden1942 was reverted by you on 11:25, 11 September 2018‎ in this article history:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_countries_by_wealth_per_adult&offset=&limit=250&action=history

Edit summary of "Protected "List of countries by wealth per adult": Persistent block evasion". -- Timeshifter (talk) 11:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Timeshifter, I've blocked and tagged the sock as  Confirmed. Thanks for reporting it.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Bbb23. Thanks! I am adding you to my sockpuppet wrangler bookmarks. -- Timeshifter (talk) 16:20, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Oh dear, no good deed ever goes unpunished. BTW, Ponyo is usually available on weekdays. She has this cockamamie idea that she's entitled to a RL on weekends.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:26, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Amen to that! -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:35, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Long-time problem user back

Hi Ponyo. It seems our old pal is back at it again [1], and it appears for a while now. They are still adding unsourced, dubious dribble. Does block evasion still apply? DaHuzyBru (talk) 11:06, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Sigh. Yup, that's very obviously them, DaHuzyBru. The IP is static, so blocked for 6 months for block evasion. Thanks for the heads up.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:17, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Padmalakshmisx again

Hi P, happy new year. This guy seems to fit the general Padmalakshmisx mold. Meaningless user page, typical edit summaries, intersections at Chiranjeevi, Thomson Scientific, Truven Health Analytics, all weird areas of interest. (I've found interesections with various Padma socks there.) Can you please look into this, P? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:21, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: I see you've already blocked. Just as an FYI, they are editing from the same ranges/ISPs as previous Padma socks.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:10, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! Were there any other accounts open? I suspect there will be shortly... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:18, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Whatever their intent, they're certainly going by it the wrong way.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:02, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

They certainly are, whatever their intentions. More proved by the fact I undid their edit and explained why and then I got reverted. I'm expecting an appeal at UTRS. Hope you're well Ponyo!-- 5 albert square (talk) 19:49, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

"Treated like dirt by many admins since 2016"

Concerning the two accounts that vandalized the page Rat (disambiguation) BalkyRATS! and The Lazy lady, I just noticed that they repeated just about exactly what was on Flooded with them hundreds's latest signature. I kinda feel that ANI discussion, his "retirement" and this vandalism being just days apart sounds kinda fishy to me. Do you think it would be wise to run a CU to see if this is a case of a long-time editor turning his back on the community? Or do you think this is just an LTA that happened to see his signature and/or ANI thread? funplussmart (talk) 15:48, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

The conversation appears to have moved over to User talk:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz#"treated like dirt", if you are interested. funplussmart (talk) 02:30, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

It's not uncommon for LTAs to roam about looking for a pot to stir, which appears to be the case here.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:09, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Your block of 74.12.120.0/22

Just so you know, they're likely socking for 184.147.31.254. [2] –Skywatcher68 (talk) 23:13, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Skywatcher68; they've been at this for ages across a number of ranges. I reblocked 4.12.120.0/22.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:19, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

I saw you mentioned it seemed familiar, it did to me as well and I kept trying to remember who it was that they reminded me of (well before they got blocked) and my first thought was train master but their location focus was a lot different. Praxidicae (talk) 16:36, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

@Praxidicae: Apparently the whole mall update obsession is a "thing". See this range for example.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:51, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

If you think I am a user named Hiding Tempo, which I can only guess is meant by your lame joke, then file a proper SPI. Gossip is damaging, childish, and encourages the kind of disruptive behavior you hope to prevent when soliciting moderators in the first place. It enables trolling. Itself, is a form of trolling.~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luciusfoxx (talk • contribs) 23:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

A proper SPI? Man, you're fantastically well versed in the byways and acronyms of Wikipedia for such a new user. I'm impressed. Bishonen | talk 23:34, 19 February 2019 (UTC).

Never claimed to be new. A returning editor who retired years ago for admitted internet addiction, which regrettably fuels other more dangerous addictions. Been dry for 3 years. Coming back in a more formal form. Have edited on and off here and there without an account. Made an account when I found I couldn't edit certain pages without one. Encouraged by the main page. If you can help me locate my old account from 2006-08, will be more than happy to resume editing from there. How much of this has to do with me being a proud Trump supporter astounds me. Your sarcasm proves to be as benign as your wit. Surprised I'm not being trolled more for my rustiness. I'm a hyperbolic mess for sure.Luciusfoxx (talk) 23:58, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

A proper check is difficult as all the Hidden Tempo in the SPI is stale. I see a ton of logged-out edit warring unrelated to D'Souza but no obvious abuse of multiple accounts from the data available to me. Clearly not a new user and the account is flailing about disruptively but I don't know who they edited as previously. -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:41, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

I made one material edit on the D'Souza page. For which I was attacked with sexually derogatory language and frivolous threats of pre-emptive ANIs for my personal views on the article's talk page about that great conservative filmmaker IMHO. If you consider that "disruptive" but place less of a priority on the horrible attacks against me, you are just enabling harassment against users with unpopular opinions.

Albanisation

The claim is not unsourced, the Serbian wikipedia article claims that Skanderbeg was an albanised slav. 185.187.2.73 (talk) 19:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

It's irrelveant whether the information appears on another language Wikipedia. Per our policies on en-wiki, it's a potentially contentious statement and should only be included by consensus, in a neutrally-toned fashion along with a reliable source.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:34, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

About Edit war

There in Bandaranaike International Airport page, the Turkish Airlines Destinations have been given as Istanbul and Male. That guy always removing Male Velena International Airport from Turkish Airlines Destinations from Colombo. Turkish operates daily flight between colombo and male under flight number TK730-TK731. Ref: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/tk730 So why someone removing such content from a wiki page? Does he (and you) say that the above mentioned resources are false? Now I am going to reverse that again as Male is a Turkish Airlines Destinations from Colombo. Same for Travel Service Polska flight 3Z7630 from RKT to CMB. I'm tired of those foolish editions minute to minute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SLAviationLover (talk • contribs) 21:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

• You, as well as JCC199, clearly both believe you are correct in your edits, which is why you need to go to the related article talk pages and actually discuss the changes you would both like to see in the article. At this point you are both just mashing the revert button, which will only lead to both of you being blocked. Please review these guidelines for how to resolve disputes.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:57, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! I was thinking Child in time 123 could be another sock of theirs, as the account was created after someone added a rename request, and the username is same as the requested target username (and it isn't too hard to compare their contributions to make the link).
