== Just a heads up ==


== Opinion on Zhoban predecessor ==
Hi Ponyo, hope you are doing well. I noticed your edits to ] reverting edits made in violation of a ban. I then noticed an IP reverted them and you also reverted them and protected the page. I have looked through the editing history of this IP address and the habits seem very similar to an unrelated user who was recently blocked indefinitely for disruptivly editing. I don’t want to publicly add their username as that could be seen as a personal attack, although since you are very experienced with this behaviour, maybe I could email you the user and IP and you could have a look? That is if you are still not busy of course. If not, no worries, I will take to SPI instead. Have a great day! ] (]) 20:38, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Hey, Ponyo. Happy holidays! I was wondering, would you be able to take a look at a now-archived query I brought up on the ]? I remain fairly convinced that because of the IP ranges and editing styles that before he created his Zhoban account, this vandal was JohnRamirez. RoySmith opined in 2021 that it wasn't really relevant to merge the pages as neither case is active nowadays, but I believe that consolidating it to one investigation could be helpful, in case he rears his ugly vitriol once more. What do you think? ''']'''<sub>&nbsp;(]•])</sub> 19:57, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Blanchey}} You don't need to email me. If I'm reverting an IP due to block evasion, I know which (if any) accounts they are linked to. -- ]<sup>]</sup> 20:41, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
::Oh, wait. This isn't the case I thought you were talking about. Go ahead with the SPI.-- ]<sup>]</sup> 20:46, 4 October 2022 (UTC) :Or, perhaps we could merge everything ''into'' the JohnRamirez investigation, given it preceded his Zhoban days?

== 2030s ==
:::I’m just scared of making a personal attack because all I have got is editing habits are slightly similar, when this happens, I tend to go directly to an admin (like I did here) but if you think that my suspicions on the editing habits warrant an SPI report, I’ll go ahead. Or I can tell you here on talk page? {{smiley}} ] (]) 20:55, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
::::Making unfounded accusations of socking can be seen as a personal attack; making evidence-based connections between accounts/IPs based on behavioural overlap isn't. Such connections are literally the basis of our SPI system. As a checkuser I don't want you sending me evidence linking accounts and IPs because I can't explicitly link them publicly due to the privacy policy; you could send me the info but I couldn't act on it as a checkuser. SPI is your best best.-- ]<sup>]</sup> 21:00, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

:{{ping|Sai Raghavendra Puranam}} As noted on your talk page, and by you above, ] is used to delete overly-promotional pages. "content is not relevant and is encyclopedic" and "cited all the necessary info" is unrelated to the actual deletion rationale. The page didn't just have a promotional tone, it was practically an advertisement. A small sample of the completely inappropriate content:
::''"Revolutionizing the Indian street-side tea experiences, The Chai Walah focuses on hygiene and quality with their every cup of freshly brewed handcrafted tea"''
::''"Faisal picked up the ropes of tea-making, fuelled by his nostalgia and passion to trace his Indian roots"''
::''"His friends and family noticed the zeal and enthusiasm behind his love for tea"''
::''"Smart and Mobile, THE CHAI WALAH popup cart is a stunner"''
::''"With a vision to transform the way how India drinks tea from a roadside tea stall by serving the most hygienic cup of chai on-the-go and disrupt the industry with cutting edge tech, The Chai Walah is striving hard to bring the best for the tealovers"''
:These aren't cherry-picked, the ''entire article'' was written this way. The sources are all pretty much paid placements, followed by a spammy external links section with a list of social media sites. There is nothing salvageable and the entire page was a violation of ]. I don't understand how an editor who has been here as long as you have, with so many edits, could write such a blatant advertisement. Do you have a ] with regard to the topic? ], which you uploaded, is a copyright violation, which I will be deleting as soon as I hit save on this post. It fails ] number 1, specifically "'''No free equivalent'''. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose."

== UPDATE: Editwar on ] ==

Hi,I'm here to update you on the situation, since the report has been made (we are still awaiting an outcome) the IP user continues to insist with the inclusion of a source not inherent with what the table says. So, I'm a native Italian speaker and the source with which they "states" his facts actually simply links to a section related to the show on how and where to watch it in streaming (things that if you think about it have nothing to do with the competitors' hometowns).

I tried to explain the situation to them on wiki.it as well, where they have the same modus operandi and it led to the partial blocking of the page for "Editwar", the problem is that after 7 IP addresses changed (since they change every time I left a message on the Talk page) and with as many edit warnings as well, they continues with their recidivist behavior without being opening up to dialogue at all.

== Hey ==

I think that ] needs some work, but before making a proposal, I'm trying to find out what causes people to choose this one, instead of a different template. I notice that you posted it at ] a while ago. Do you remember why you thought that this person was specifically being paid, rather than having a non-paid COI (e.g., a friend or family member)?

(I'm in no rush; an answer next month is fine.) ] (]) 06:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
:{{ping|WhatamIdoing}} I use the COI warning the (vast) majority of times unless there are specific signs that it's paid editing rather than a more general conflict of interest (e.g. recreation of articles linked to paid editing and UPE sockfarms, creation of multiple spammy articles that have been written and saved in one go with full wiki markup by a brand new editor, gaming autoconfirmed to move their own drafts directly to mainspace and a general rush to publish) . With the example you mention, it's likely the latter two indicators that let to the paid warning.-- ]<sup>]</sup> 17:00, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
::Saving articles in one go suggests writing them offline, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Being in a hurry (it's "published" as far as we're concerned as soon as they click the "Publish pages" button, even if it's in Draft: or User: space) could be enthusiasm, but I'd expect to see that from someone who's getting paid by the piece (until they read this and decide that being slow is a way to trick us). Anyone using the visual editor (this particular editor was) will always have correct wikitext markup, so that's only a possible ] if the editor isn't using the visual editor.
::I don't know if it's still true, but when the ACPERM limits went into effect in 2018, we saw a lot of spammy articles being posted on the 11th edit, always in the old wikitext editor.
::How would you describe the difference between "gaming autoconfirmed" to move a draft to the mainspace, and "following the rules" to move a draft to the mainspace? Last I checked, it's officially okay for editors to do that. ] (]) 22:54, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
:::{{U|WhatamIdoing}} my response to your question was a very general explanation as to why I may choose to use the paid editing template vs the conflict of interest template. There's also the element of intuition developed from dealing with UPE sockfarms for nearly a decade. I'm comfortable with my decisions. -- ]<sup>]</sup> 23:41, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
::::I've got no reason to believe you're wrong, in this case or any other, but my goal is to update the template and its documentation so that it's helpful to editors who don't yet have a decade of experience. I find that it's often difficult for less experienced editors to know whether they're responding to "intuition" or "bias". I think a checklist approach would be a disaster (e.g., the article I created most recently was "written and saved in one go with full wiki markup", though I hope you won't think it spammy, and I doubt I'd be mistaken for a brand-new account for very long), but surely there is something we could say that provides a little more support to editors than telling them to trust their guesses. Do you remember the "sting operation" about a decade ago, when experienced editors pretended to be newbies creating their first article? It turned out that our intuition about what was notable had a lot more to do with the ] and ] than was really comfortable to consider. Consequently, I was hoping that I could learn from you something more solid than that. ] (]) 03:42, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Dear Ponyo,


]
I hope you are having a good holiday season if you are celebrating. If you recall a user named SamRathbone that was active between 2015 and 2019, that's me. I last used that account when I was 12, having made it when I was 8. I'm now nearly 16 and I have today made a new Misplaced Pages account with the intention of making constructive edits/being a more mature human being this time.
I've been through my talk page's edit history, looks like you dealt with me a lot around that time-frame before I got globally locked (says a lot.) I want two things from you; A) your forgiveness for sixth-grade me being such a mentally sick and disturbed human being, and B) you to read the new section of SR's talk page I made a few minutes ago.


]
I would like to offer you my sincere apologies for how often I must've gotten under your skin and would like to start afresh now that I am somehow more than six feet tall. It would be appreciated and respected if you accepted such an apology given the scale and nature of exactly what I was doing on Misplaced Pages around then.

Hello there, I'm writing this to thank you for the relief that the block of Holiptholipt's IP range has brought me! If the block expires and the topic returns, well, I suppose we will worry about it then (another admin suggested edit filter to me, which seems like a great idea). However, there is an IP range that was missed and which the ban evader continues to use - it has been mentioned by me and ] on ]. If you have time, would you be willing to extend the block to that range as well?

Opinion on Zhoban predecessor

Hey, Ponyo. Happy holidays! I was wondering, would you be able to take a look at a now-archived query I brought up on the Zhoban SPI page? I remain fairly convinced that because of the IP ranges and editing styles that before he created his Zhoban account, this vandal was JohnRamirez. RoySmith opined in 2021 that it wasn't really relevant to merge the pages as neither case is active nowadays, but I believe that consolidating it to one investigation could be helpful, in case he rears his ugly vitriol once more. What do you think? BOTTO (T•C) 19:57, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Or, perhaps we could merge everything into the JohnRamirez investigation, given it preceded his Zhoban days? BOTTO (T•C) 14:00, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
I agree with Roy. There are enough active cases that reaching back a decade+ to evaluate and re-tag accounts is not a great use of volunteer time. Thank you, though, for keeping tabs on this LTA.-- Ponyo 17:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

2030s

Can you add 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 2036 2037 2038 2039 years on their own page I think it's time to add those years because we are like near the 2030s by 5 years sorry for asking you Chenkens (talk) 21:25, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Chenkens  Not done: it's unclear what you're referring to. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 04:45, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
@Chenkens: Any pertinent info regarding individual years can be added to 2030s until there is enough notable and reliably-sourced information to create standalone articles on the individual years.-- Ponyo 17:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Didn't 2025 have an article back in like 2010 I looked on its edit history goes way back to 2006 why dont y'all do that to 2030 to 2039 as standalone articles and we are 5 years from 2030 just saying I will stop bothering you after this Chenkens (talk) 17:29, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
The article was created in 2002, however it's important to check the article diffs from the past and to note that things have heavily changed on Misplaced Pages since the time frame you're talking about. / RemoveRedSky 23:43, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

You've got mail

Hello, Ponyo. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template. Elliyoun

I explained you the situation, I'm not sure why I've been blocked. There's a user named 'Sinclairian' who repeatedly deletes edits from others, including mine, without providing any explanation. I'm sure you would agree that a proper explanation should accompany the reversal of any edits. Otherwise, what distinguishes a responsible editor from a dictatorial approach in this context talk 00:16, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

You are blocked because you continue to edit disruptively despite much advice on your talk page in March 2022 as to how to discuss your concerns with the article on the article talk page. You have multiple unblock requests on your talk page (you should have only 1, please delete the extra one), another admin will review the block.-- Ponyo 00:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Æ's old account wasn't working

Hi Ponyo, I rarely disagree with your administrative actions. Although I understand why you chose to pblock the user rather than block them sitewide, based on these edits, AN3 and this one, plus their history, I think an indefinite sitewide block is in order. In addition to their repeated disruptive behavior, I don't think the user is mentally competent to edit the project.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:33, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

They reinstated their edit to Misplaced Pages:Lamest edit wars.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
@Bbb23: It was near the end of the wiki-work day for me, so I did what I could to start the immediate disruption but admittedly didn't look deeper in the history of the account. If you think an indef or timed site-wide block is more appropriate in this case, then please take whatever action you think appropriate.-- Ponyo 16:42, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Do you think the edits I reverted at Misplaced Pages:Lamest edit wars makes me WP:INVOLVED?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for blocking the sockpuppet...

I've suspected since PonapsqisHous first appeared that it was a sockpuppet for Spooninpot but they seemed to be behaving and making useful edits before their latest meltdown. Did I shirk some responsibility by not reporting my suspicions? G. Timothy Walton (talk) 00:40, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

It could be that any SPI would have been closed without action of the evidence wasn't strong enough to make a determination. All buttoned up now though.-- Ponyo 16:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

The Holiptholipt Saga

Hello there, I'm writing this to thank you for the relief that the block of Holiptholipt's IP range has brought me! If the block expires and the topic returns, well, I suppose we will worry about it then (another admin suggested edit filter to me, which seems like a great idea). However, there is an IP range that was missed and which the ban evader continues to use - it has been mentioned by me and User:JayCubby on Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Holiptholipt. If you have time, would you be willing to extend the block to that range as well?
