At present I am editing at a very much reduced rate. I am unsure whether I will eventually return to editing regularly or not. I will try to respond to messages here, but you may have a long wait for me to get back to you. If you need any help with administrative matters that can't wait, I suggest trying another administrator. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:27, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply] If I left you a message on your talk page: please answer on your talk page, and drop me a brief note here to let me know you have done so. (You may do this by posting {{Talkback|your username}} on this page, or by writing your own note.) (I make only limited use of watchlisting, because I have found otherwise I am unable to keep it under control, and soon build up such a huge watchlist that it is unworkable.) If you leave me a message here: I will answer here, unless you request otherwise, or I think there are particular reasons to do otherwise, and usually I will notify you on your talk page. Please add new sections to the bottom of this page, and new messages to the bottoms of their sections. New messages at the top of the page may be overlooked.

Hi... I notice that you recently blocked IP editor 104.7.21.84 (talk · contribs). Just letting you know that the anonymous editor is persisting with similar behaviour. Thanks.--Jeffro77 (talk) 11:33, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Jeffro77: If you want IP blocked again, check WP:AIV, you can report there. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 13:12, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In view of the recent 'hijinks' on the Trevor Graham page and your protection of it, you may be interested in Trevor G Graham, created by The Trevor Graham (talk · contribs). FYI, --220 of ^Borg 20:11, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I took care of it.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 20:31, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ponyo: Thanks, but they came back and re-created the page as Trevor G, Graham. :-\ I'd watch out for T. Graham, T. G. Graham, TG Graham etc etc.--220 of ^Borg 01:56, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that and deleted it as well. He's been given a final warning against creating any additional articles under alternative spellings.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 15:30, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@220 of Borg: Yep, and I got Trevor G. Graham and User:The Trevor Graham/sandbox. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:08, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So they came back again. (I suppose to be an Olympic level athlete you have to be er... stubborn?) I tried to determine what the middle "G." stood for (to search for possibly related pages like T. 'George' Graham), but couldn't find it online.
Thanks all for your Administrative-ness. --220 of ^Borg 20:07, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you read my comments at User talk:5.223.184.21. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:01, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Watson, I am sorry to bother you with this matter but you have had previous involvement with the editor Irongron and he seems to be at it again. He very strongly appears to be another new editor that is showing the same uncivil behavior and disrespect for other editors and and admins. His new sock has already been temporarily banned and threatened to be permanently banned for his behavior and disruptive editing. Here is the case I spent a couple of hours putting together:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:220.236.1.216 17&18 APR 2014 IP research:OPTUSNET.COM.AU Result: Blocked for this vulgar entry as Irongron http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Moriori&oldid=604546136#irongron

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/122.110.69.113 18 APR 2014 IP research:OPTUSNET.COM.AU Accussed James B. Watson's of malicious editing for revert of his previous sock and was subsequently reverted by James B. Watson who then protected the page because of Irongron's persistent block evasion. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lockheed_A-12&direction=prev&oldid=604708499

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/58.108.147.54 19&20 Apr 2014 IP research:OPTUSNET.COM.AU Performed 3 edits that were reverted for being a sock of User talk:IRoNGRoN and IP hopped again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Insolent-fuka 19 APR-6 May 2014 Result: Blocked after 2 A-12 edits.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/114.73.60.98 4 May 2014 IP research:OPTUSNET.COM.AU http://www.iplocationtools.com/114.73.60.98.html 1 Edit @ Gary Gabelich Probable IP Hopping Sock based on same subjects and IP is same location and provider.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/&offset=&limit=250&target=178.216.122.254 Probable IP Sock of Irongron based on editing the same articles, immediate deletion of warnings from editors (same thing Irongron did) here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:178.216.122.254&oldid=613332466, Restoring a deleted post of claiming to be from AUS and using the same hammer and sickle as Irongron to sign his post as "Soviet" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Putin_khuilo!&oldid=613332282 IP research:Ukraine http://www.reputationauthority.org/lookup.php?ip=178.216.122.254&d=rdsnet.ro

This all leads to demonstrate that User talk:Иронгрон a probable sock of Irongron. Warned here and he immediately blanked his talk page as Irongron did: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:%D0%98%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD&oldid=613333653 Again he claims he is from AU here and now living in the Ukraine which also explains the above Ukraine IP "I'm from Australia and I have been living here for the last few months. ☭Soviet☭ 20:26, 17 June 2014 (UTC)" He signs this claim as ☭Soviet☭ very similar to ☭Irongron☭ and not as his user name here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Putin_khuilo!&oldid=613331287

User talk:Иронгрон is editing the same articles as Irongron and his documented socks, shows up right after other Irongron socks are discovered/blocked, claims to be from Australia as was Irongron but now living in the Ukraine. A Check User would determine if the IP being used is Ukranian and if the same or similar to the above. The above editor exhibits the same uncivil behavior and misuse of editing as ☭Irongron☭ after being properly warned and temporarily blocked here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:%D0%98%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD&oldid=613579988

Additional Information: It is possible that User talk:ИДИОТ ХУЕВИЧ ПОМОЙКИН was also a sock ofUser:IRoNGRoN based on his asking for you to be banned here as an act of revenge: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=613666289#JamesBWatson Also his knowledge of the Russian and slavic languages is the same as ☭Irongron☭User:IRoNGRoN and ☭Soviet☭ User talk:Иронгрон.

I can post this to others who have had crossings with above editor if your time does not permit you to consider this matter. Thank You for your consideration. 208.54.35.169 (talk) 23:08, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have had a quick look at some of this. Иронгрон is clearly a blatant sockpuppet, and I have blocked the account. I shall try to find time to look in more detail at the other aspects within the next day or two, if I can. Unfortunately, if my understanding is correct, the IRoNGRoN account became stale for checkuser purposes a few hours ago, but it may be worth asking a checkuser to look at Иронгрон and the IP addresses, to see if there are any other sockpuppets. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:48, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Иронгрон is Irongron written in the Cyrillic alphabet... Thomas.W ^talk 12:49, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to both of you. I spent a great deal of time and effort putting together the case. I was hoping all my effort was not in vain. I had no idea about the cyrillic translation. That seems to be the smoking gun here. It as if they like the cat and mouse game of getting caught. 208.54.35.169 (talk) 18:02, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have now received two emails from this editor. The first one requested that I delete both user pages, which I have done, and also said that he/she "thought the ban expired on the 4th of June". I don't understand that, as I can't see any block or ban relating to this editor that was due to expire on that date. Maybe one or other of his/her IP addresses, or some sockpuppet account that I don't know about, was blocked until then. However, if IRoNGRoN ever reads this, he or she can see at Special:Contributions/IRoNGRoN that he or she is blocked indefinitely. There is a link on that account's talk page to instructions on how to request an unblock, and unless and until the account is unblocked, he/she does not have permission to edit any Wikipedia page at all, whether from any account or without logging in. The second email denied being ИДИОТ ХУЕВИЧ ПОМОЙКИН. Well, all that I can say about that account is that it was a single-purpose account made for the sole purpose of attacking me, that it was made by someone with a knowledge of Russian, and that it was almost certainly made by an editor whom I had blocked. Whether it was the same person who used the IRoNGRoN and Иронгрон accounts, I don't know, and don't particularly care either. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:23, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not buy their argument that they thought it was ok to start a new sock account. They will likely do it again. Please keep their contributions and talk pages so when they appear again in the future their will be some evidence to go off of. I hope their email was civil which their previous communications sorely lacked. I was not sure about that SPA either but it sure seems to fit the pattern. Thanks again for your diligence and time. 208.54.35.169 (talk) 21:10, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
