If I have made a mistake of any kind, please let me know so we can discuss it. |
I swing between periods of extreme activity and inactivity on Wikipedia. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. |
I have heard from many sources that valwood is hated.
it is not irrelevant and you had no right to take it down.
I agree with you, broadly speaking, that generalizations are bad. However, dragonfruit is excessively nasty and that's the generalization that proves the rule. Please have mercy. Bad Dragonfruit Yuck (talk) 22:15, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi GAB. Thanks for adding that evidence to the The kyle 3 SPI. Since you seem to be good at that sort of thing, do you think you could have a look at the edits of another, more subtle potential sockpuppet whom I've been watching quietly bias a whole bunch of articles for a while now?
The suspected sockpuppeteer here is a well-known Palestine-Israel POV-pusher and system-gamer and the recipient of a whole bunch of sanctions in this area. Unusually, the master is neither blocked nor sanctioned and I suspect this is either a new sock created to avoid previous scrutiny, or a throwaway sock intended to eventually end up topic banned without affecting the master account.

The suspected sockpuppeteer has been accused of sockpuppetry several times in the past. He is a technically inclined user who undoubtedly has the ability to evade a basic CheckUser. Thus I wanted to run the behavioural evidence past you to ensure it holds water before I submit an SPI. Do you think this is worth persuing? AnotherNewAccount (talk) 14:15, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Wikicology. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Wikicology/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 22, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Wikicology/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Howdy, indeed IPs are allowed. But in time, you'll discover that that IP is a ban evader. Anyways, I'll leave it with you :) GoodDay (talk) 17:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
For correctly identifying the amplified ultimate quack of ultimate destiny!

Hello: I see you were involved in bringing this article to GA some time ago. Recently, it has been undergoing some revamping and editing. You may want to take a look at the issues raised and work on the article accordingly. This is an important article, as you know, which receives a lot of views per year.

Sad to see you withdrew your Admin nom. You'd be a good one. Maybe next time. TimothyJosephWood 00:32, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm currently putting together behavioral evidence in the SPI on Joseph Prasad as the user GeneralizationsAreGood12 (see SPI case and CU evidence here). Because the account has only three edits [25], I'm locking in on the user name chosen as it seems to be a play on your own user name. The comments at the user space regarding their choice of handle states, "I am against the idea of generalizations I just wanted to show something to someone that I don't like so I did my name like this" [26]. You and Prasad have 47 articles in common and several talk pages/noticeboards, and the like. I think it's very possible he's referring to you with the above statement so, in order to collect evidence, can you recall anywhere specifically the two of you have clashed significantly, to the point of where he would want to make a statement against you through a user name? Thanks,-- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, just pinging again after I thought about your query. I found your short question on my talk a bit suspicious. I really hope I'm not overthinking it, but did want to elaborate and possibly clear some things up.
For this case, as you know, finding 1 sock at a time is not the way to go. The offending accounts have usually been right on the first page of the new users log (until today). It was 3 days ago (not 2) when I first found this user on Special:Log/newusers, and posted to WP:UAA with Special:Diff/715348167. The log showed about a dozen users with similar names (you know what I mean). He began attacking Oshwah and admins, including me with Special:Diff/715353858.
If you were wondering how I got a big batch (7) of non-English usernames, they had all individually just vandalized my talk page, e.g. Special:Diff/715957997. I observed one account's creation time, scrolled 18 hours back, and found about a dozen more. I think this guy has a grudge on me, especially my string of about 30 reversions on this sock and this sock a few days ago.
Recently for me, the other egregious extreme vandalism case is this, where we have a defecation-obsessed user from Maryland posting obscene pictures at WP:Sandbox (see its history and talk history) and attacking users who revert. That (ongoing) case has had me prepare for outstanding vandalism cases, such as this one. These past 2 weeks, I have sunk deep into vandal/new user patrol, more than I ever expected.
Let's please be transparent. If there's anything I should know that I don't, please don't keep it that way. Cheers, — Andy W. (talk · contrib) 04:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
