Hello, it appears that someone with very similar editing patterns to a sock you blocked a few month ago is editing under the ip Special:Contributions/94.29.124.250—blindlynx 13:59, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Month off for the IP. Courcelles (talk) 22:16, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey sorry, now Special:Contributions/83.242.180.62 is editing the same pages in the same way—blindlynx 17:55, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about Kyrgyz romanization though—blindlynx 18:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neither do I, and the geolocation is a ways off (both IPs are in the Russian Federation, but not near each other). I don't have a chance to do a deep dive right now, either. Courcelles (talk) 18:42, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i noticed that too, sorry i didn't mention—blindlynx 19:33, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

		The Mediator Barnstar
		I wanted to personally thanked you after taking an action on WP:ANI [1]. Honestly, I confused between Integrity or Helping Hand, but in the end I choose to give this one instead. Thank you very much for your actions. I really appreciate it. Best regards, EdhyRa (talk) 14:48, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Hopefully they discuss issues. Courcelles (talk) 13:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Courcelles hi, sorry to bother you, I have reapplied to the arbitration, can you take a look if you don't mind. My old application 1. Товболатов (talk) 12:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you do the honors yet again? Please see the stuff I just reverted here. Thanks. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 15:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

...and, now they are spamming my Talk page. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 15:14, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already blocked. (I didn’t look at WP yesterday). Protected your and JPSs talk page for a while, this shit is getting old. Courcelles (talk) 13:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, and thanks for the protection. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 15:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In the case of suspected meatpuppetry (that includes the creation of articles with made-up content), do we file a SPI report as usual or de we take the issue to ANI? Best, M.Bitton (talk) 12:27, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Either works just fine, because meatpuppets can be treated like sockpuppets. Just be careful that if there is of-wiki evidence that outing can be an issue, so it may be better to send things off-wiki to a CU privately. Courcelles (talk) 13:35, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 18:17, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just blocked Intracall as a sock of Known Rod, whom you blocked as a sock on July 28. Is there an earlier named master?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:02, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No one ever figured it out. Reference Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1135#User:Known_Rod Courcelles (talk) 16:30, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. I saw the ANI notice but was too lazy to hunt it down. I suspected, though, that there was no known master from the comments on KR's Talk page. I will tag KR and the new one. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

With the proxy use, not likely to find much of use technically, either. No sleepers, but not shocking. Courcelles (talk) 17:47, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proxies: the bane of a CU's existence. Thanks for checking.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:06, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Only way three continents in 3 hours is possible! Courcelles (talk) 19:01, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I have found yet another. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/UniBrill. Not yet prolific, they have total similarity of style in my view with the author of the draft and article they have in common. I have a firm suspicion of UPE. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:13, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Checked, marked for a behavior double-check. Courcelles (talk) 10:47, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They are "clever" using noisy IP ranges. Thank you for the fast response. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 11:17, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IP CIDR ranges are strange. A single /16 for a small town, or a (smaller) /20 for an entire country... Courcelles (talk) 12:19, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I had to look CIDR up! IP was no problem 😂 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:03, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think is was... Qatar (?) that at one time was routing its entire traffic through a /20. Not exactly a small place. Of course, it got blocked. Drama was the result. Courcelles (talk) 13:24, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Qatar was probably using one wealthy bloke's WiFi. 😈 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:31, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You've done quite a blitz on the SPI this week. Thanks! Wikishovel (talk) 14:19, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's nice to get some work done before I start the 12 busiest weeks of my life soon. Courcelles (talk) 15:00, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• A PhD in History
• The wisest fool in Christendom

PhD was blocked on August 12. The Fool created an account on September 18. They both intersected at British Isles naming and its Talk page. Of the Fool's 48 edits, 37 of them have been on those two pages. Fool fancies themself an historian based on his comments about Ptolemy and other subjects. On the flip side, PhD is much more aggressive and attacking; otherwise, I would have blocked behaviorally, but I think there's enough to warrant a check. Your call, of course.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) When I saw this section title, I thought Bbb23 had just won the 'Describe Serial Number in three words' competition... ;} Serial 21:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know you had a PhD. :p --Bbb23 (talk) 21:43, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Technically the only connection is both are on the same continent. Courcelles (talk) 22:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough to block, IMO, thanks for checking. If I may ask, why are the next 12 weeks going to be so busy for you (in RL)?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Been following the updates on article Hardeep Singh Nijjar due to the current news on his murder and also following discussions on talk page of the article. New user Wrythemann has raised curiosity as this user account was created on Sep 5, 2023 [2] and instantly jumped right into noticeboards discussions (prompting me to think that he might be admin), nothing like a new user would do with comments to other users about wiki policies (something a new user wouldn't know about right away). It felt like this user isn't new. I mean there is nothing that indicates this user is new. Could be one of the user who was blocked and created new account or could be a duplicate account of another user. This below is my finding which I thought might be of interest. Again, this is just curiosity, I might be wrong. [3] [4] 199.81.206.151 (talk) 16:21, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That’s Prince Of Roblox. Blocked and tagged. Thanks. Courcelles (talk) 16:26, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
