Can you please move this Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Zindahtohpyalabharde

Dusrapehelu is tthe oldest, so the sockmaster. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 16:18, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@Doug Weller:  Done. :) --Blablubbs (talk) 16:29, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Btw, I never notice RfAs, but I can ask you now to please notify me when yours takes place, asap I hope, as I rarely notice them. As I've requested notification it can't be called canvassing. Doug Weller talk 16:46, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. If and when it happens, I will let you know. :) --Blablubbs (talk) 16:58, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Doug Weller, a page doesn't have to exist for you to add it to your watchlist. You can watch in anticipation. Cabayi (talk) 22:00, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@Cabayi: thanks, I actually do that frequently - the problem is I don't pay enough attention to my watchlist of 23,751 pages not including talk pages. :) Doug Weller talk 13:33, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

@Doug Weller: The time has come – Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Blablubbs. ;) --Blablubbs (talk) 13:26, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Your close

• Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Ajhenson21/Archive
• Gardo Versace 16 (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Menia97! (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

As you can see from the archive, you closed the report on August 22 because the filer had presented insufficient evidence of socking. I have no problem with your close. However, I had independently noticed a possible connection between Menia97! and Ajhenson21. The best comparison is to Gardo Versace 16. Both edited storm articles and the Ang Probinsyano season articles, which is a telling combination. Both are using a similar mobile device. Neither uses edit summaries (more's the pity for behavioral cues). The timing of the Menia97!'s creation (July 17, 2021) seems about right as there were no checks (that I know of) after June.

The evidence is not a slam dunk, but I think it's enough to justify a CU. What do you think?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:06, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Comment Menia97 editing and probinsyano which is same edit of Gardo Versace 16 (sorry I'm busy now) -- HurricaneEdgar 16:26, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@Bbb23: The Ang Probinsyano edits that came after my close do make this highly suspcious (I might have endorsed if those had been there at the time I looked at the account) – I have no objections to a refiling with better evidence by you or anyone else, I just didn't have the time and energy to go diving for diffs that tie the hurricane edits to the archive (it's a large topic area, one I understand little about, and one ripe with socks of various masters) and hence closed on procedural grounds. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:36, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Being tired (and therefore more lazy than usual), let's see if I can avoid refiling: {{checkuser needed}}.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Badgers

Hi @Blablubbs: Its good to know that badgers, which i'm particularly fond of, don't engage in sockpuppetry. scope_creep 17:29, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

@Scope creep: They truly are excellent animals! I only discovered that fairly recently (not sure how I managed to stay ignorant of that particular fact for decades), and have since started spending an excessive amount of time watching badger-related Youtube videos. I regret nothing. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:59, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Wolfdietrich Schnurre

The article Wolfdietrich Schnurre you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Wolfdietrich Schnurre for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

SPI disposition

I am bringing this to you at the recommendation of the involved SPI closer, User:TheresNoTime, who indicated they were "not going to be around much longer."

An SPI was recently closed that was started at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Thetranslaterofhistory, suggesting that User:Polynoir was the same as established sockmaster, User:Thetranslaterofhistory. An argument was made that while Polynoir was indeed a sock, it was not a sock of Thetranslaterofhistory but instead was one of a list of accounts belonging to a different master, the earliest of which was User:Mazulu1010. It was concluded that the whole set of proposed Mazulu1010 socks were ducks, while a CheckUser returned a 'Unlikely' diagnosis (I assume for the original proposal, that Poynoir/Mazulu1010 were the same as Thetranslaterofhistory).

As I understand it, the appropriate disposition should have been to create a new SPI master page, Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Mazulu1010, and the latest dicussion relocated to that page, while the history of SPI/Thetranslaterofhistory should have been retained as that of a distinct master.

However, when User:TheresNoTime closed it, they renamed the entire SPI/Thetranslatorofhistory and its archive of CheckUser-confirmed socks to SPI/Mazulu1010, making this CheckUser-unlikely match the new sockmaster for the older confirmed sock. I am concerned this might confuse future sock investigations of Thetranslaterofhistory, who will undoubtedly keep coming back for more. I raised this with TheresNoTime as the closer, but as I said, they reported their pending departure and recommended I raise it with you or another SPI admin

What I think needs done is simply for SPI/Thetranslaterofhistory to be restored to its pre-move state with its archive, while leaving the newest discussion at the newly-created master account for SPI/Mazulu1010 and the current post-rename archive of SPI/Mazulu1010 (which belongs to Thetranslaterofhistory) removed. Agricolae (talk) 00:52, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Update - the new case has now been archived at SPI/Mazulu1010, so it will now require deleting all but the most recent entry there with the remainder restored to SPI/Thetranslaterofhistory/Archive. Agricolae (talk) 18:45, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

@Agricolae: Thanks for the heads-up, I've been meaning to take a look; I had actually started archiving the case when I noticed the same weirdness and self-reverted. If undoing the merge requires use of the delete button, we might need help from an admin clerk, though. Best, --Blablubbs (talk) 10:58, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

I am unfamiliar with how to 'split' when a move has resulted in combining two data streams that should have been separate, but it seems to me it may be possible to just go back to before things got messed up. If the Mazulu pages were moved back to Thetranslaterofhistory and its archive, they could be reverted to when the latest discussion closed. Then the newly-created Mazulu1010 redirects could be retasked for stand-alone main SPI/Mazulu1010 and Archive pages, and the latest discussion moved there and archived just as would have been done at the original close of a case of 'not a sock of this master, but a sock of that other one'. I say this on a theoretical level, as I don't know if there are any admin limitations that would block this from being a possibility. Agricolae (talk) 19:34, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Looks like it has been resolved, I assume through your intervention. Thanks. Agricolae (talk) 17:39, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion for user page "Things I need to disclose"

I thought I'd point out a typo (a missing letter b) in User:Blablubbs#Things_I_need_to_disclose, but then thought that I could make the whole thing look nicer. After spending perhaps more time than necessary, here's my suggested replacement:

• BlabIubbs (BlabIubbs)
• BIablubbs (BIablubbs)
• BIabIubbs (BIabIubbs)
• Blabblubs (Blabblubs)
• Blabbiubs (Blabbiubs)
• BIabblubs (BIabblubs)
• BIabbIubs (BIabbIubs)

Also, if you have all of those doppelgänger accounts, aren't you missing one combination, BlabbIubs? The corresponding line for that would be:

• BlabbIubs (BlabbIubs)

Yours, – Anon423 (talk) 14:08, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks Anon423! I've implemented the formatting suggestion. (BlabbIubs) is covered by the (Blabbiubs) account – the AntiSpoof extension catches the i/I thing, but not I/l substitution. Best, --Blablubbs (talk) 14:49, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations Blablubbs !!

I’m way too excited about this that I’m not sure I have the right words to correctly express how happy I am for you. I’m thankful to the community and you yourself for stepping up and taking up this arduous task. It’s 55 minutes before it’s official, but yup! you are in. Congratulations once again, I know the collaborative project is indeed in safe hands with brilliant minds like yourself taking up administrative duties.

Your request for adminship

Hi Blablubbs, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations for both your successful, landslide nomination and for your place on WP:RFX200 - both are incredible achievements! As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin help pages are most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project. Good luck! Acalamari 13:18, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks!

A few minutes ago, Acalamari closed my RfA as successful (thanks!), and brought an end to what was the most exciting – but also the most stressful – 168 hour-period in my time on Misplaced Pages. This may be cheesy, but I think some thanks are in order: To my noms L235 and Risker for investing their trust and time in me (I owe you both), to everyone who participated for making my RfA a far more pleasant experience than I expected, for the many thought-provoking commens people left, and to TheSandDoctor, Eostrix, JavaHurricane, Celestina007, TheresNoTime and DanCherek for their congratulations above. Finally, I want to follow the advice of my handler and clearly state in response to this that I am definitely not a CIA asset.

Off to new (and old) adventures. Thanks again. --Blablubbs (talk) 13:25, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Very pleased that this all worked out well. I was happy to co-nominate you. Keep up the good work! Risker (talk) 14:08, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

  • Aaaactually, given that Dihydrogen Monoxide's RfA was withdrawn, we can accurately state that Blablubbs' RfA is the bronze medal winner for the 3rd most support successful RfA in history. Also; you might want to take a look at User:Hammersoft/monobook.js; the last two lines there contain an import link for User:Animum's extremely helpful easyblock.js. This makes blocking for most standard blocking reasons as easy as one click. You'll be glad you installed it. It saves an awful lot of time from fumbling around looking for the right block notice, etc. Congratulations on getting the tools! Now, get in the cesspool of adminship and get to work! :) --Hammersoft (talk) 15:53, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Oh geez. You're one of those vector people, eh? That's not compatible with adminship. Time to turn in your mop. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:54, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

• Congratulations, Blablubbs! Looks like I missed another RfA which is what happens when you check your Watchlist infrequently. But it looks like it was successful. My only words of advice are to not think twice about checking in with another admin if you have questions about taking an action. We all have our strengths and areas where we have less experience and wisdom is knowing that we don't know everything. Oh, and every admin occasionally makes a mistake so when it is pointed out to you (and don't worry, someone will!), don't double down, just take it as a learning experience. Good luck!

Notes on your RfA

KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:01, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations

Congratulations on your RFA! I knew you'd pass. I'm sorry I could not be the first to support you as I promised. I was in the hospital. I have a feeling that you are going to be one of Misplaced Pages's most prolific CUs of all time when you get the permission. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:57, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

I too was on a little break when the RfA happened. Apart from conveying my best wishes and the obligatory congratulations, I would also like to ask you to be heedful for a potential burn-out: admins get a lot more abuse than regular editors, and the area where you like to work obviously is one of the worst. It will probably be more important than before to take a break from time to time, or to consciously focus on less controversial areas to uplift your spirits. I too am hoping you will go for the CU rights when the time comes, but much more than that I'm hoping that you are here to stay! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 13:15, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Challenging SPI

Hello Blablubbs! IF you have some time (and only if, because this one's a real piece of work), would you have a look at this SPI? Since the suspected master here is really persistent (I'm perhaps not experienced enough, but I'd say they're on the verge of becoming an LTA), it would be good to have a more SPI-oriented admin become familiar with their behavioral patterns. Since the CU check wasn't conclusive here and there's a longish analysis of the behavioral evidence, this would be a good opportunity to do so. But yeah, only if you have a lot of time to spare. Thanks! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 11:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

• 2409:4052:817:C1B5:9C4C:4A6A:E54A:CCD2 (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (active last night)
• 2409:4052:2E92:81F0:CD40:9B1D:F8EC:54F7 (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (active now)
• Prashantmeena12 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (active last night), clearly the same as the IP editor based on this, and similarity between this and this (more content is removed in one obviously), and this edit and this edit. In fact the recent history of Vidyadhara (Chandela king) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) shows it's one of their regular targets for disruption.

Any chance of some blocks/protections where appropriate please? FDW777 (talk) 11:55, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

@FDW777: Blocked the account and the most recently used IP. The underlying range is huge and hence tough to block, though it might be worth considering if this continues. I don't have the time to look into protection right now, apologies – you may want to consider making a list of frequently targeted pages and taking it to RFPP. --Blablubbs (talk) 12:15, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Perfect, thank you. A blocked account with IP details in the block log makes life much easier for dealing with future IPs, so I'm not having to say "well this edit was similar to this edit by a similar IP...". FDW777 (talk) 12:29, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Superdeterminism - Request for Guidance

I have spoken to Mr.Ollie and Tercer. We are in a stale mate. I have proven that Wiki considers "Physics Essays" a reliable source. They disagree. You tell me who is right? Wiki itself has a page for "Physics Essays" which says it's a peer reviewed journal, and Wiki has at least 4 articles which cite Physics Essays. https://en.wikipedia.org/Physics_Essays

Tell me please - who do I contact about getting a ruling on this issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnbannan (talk • contribs) 12:32, 15 September 2021 (UTS) (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hello Johnbannan! We have a special noticeboard where you can discuss the reliability of sources with other editors: see Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. Before posting there, please read the guidelines in the blue box above. Thanks! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 12:41, 15 September 2021 (UTC) PS: please don't forget to sign you posts on talk pages with four tildes, as follows: ~~~~

I considered getting a Google translation, with a view to taking it into consideration for deciding on the block length, but decided not to bother. I might have done the same as you if I had seen it. Same outcome in the end, though. JBW (talk) 23:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Wow!

Hey, I've just found out that you only recently got the mop. I'm sort of surprised 😮 to realise you hadn't already got it. I would certainly have supported if I'd noticed the RfA was going on, but luckily you somehow managed without my help. Welcome to the corps. Here's somewhere to store the mop when you aren't on Misplaced Pages. 🪣 JBW (talk) 23:29, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, JBW! Regarding the section above: Not sure I would've bothered either, I checked because someone requested revision-deletion on IRC and I figured someone who jumps to a threat like that over a TV series stub probably isn't going to be a net positive to the editing environment. I presume they'll return, though. --Blablubbs (talk) 10:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

I think your range may be off

I think you were looking for Special:Block/81.177.3.0/24 or perhaps Special:Block/81.177.0.0/16? Anyway it's time for me to get some shut-eye so the timing is actually pretty convenient. I hope you'll forgive me for not linking tomorrow's IP to today in anyway. Since clearly that's the best way to avoid complications. Don't worry I'll stay well away from discussions I participated in on this IP to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. And yes I know posting here like this may seem a tad impertinent, which is not at all my intent, just trying to ease things along. Best Regards, 81.177.3.8 (talk) 19:57, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
