Blocked user Kingcutie under new sockpuppet HDClear

It appears that user Kingcutie is once again vandalizing his brother's wikipedia page under sockpuppet HDClear, for which he was previously banned by you.

It's not entirely clear to me how to proceed with bringing attention to this.

Adelsoft

If you examine their user talk page on the Persian Wikipedia (I used Google Translate) you will see that their interactions there are similar to those here. I have also found wikiversity:Adel shirazy, which I have asked to be deleted as out of scope. I see a determined attempt at (probable self)-promotion. You view may differ. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:46, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at their global contributions, I wonder whether the threshold has been reached for global locks for spamming/advertising. I hesitate to request such a stringent measure without a second opinion. I am pretty sure they are Shirazy, or are paid by Shirazy. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:54, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Further research has shown the extent of cross wiki spamming. I have made the request to the stewards. They are wiser than I am so will decide what is appropriate. On fawiki they have already admitted to sockpuppetry on their talk page. It is the cross wiki spamming that concerns me though. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:23, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And so it proved. Ah well. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And so it proved. I'm a bit lost. What proved what?--Bbb23 (talk) 18:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That the stewards are wiser than I am, 🤡 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be more direct: what action, if any, did the stewards take?--Bbb23 (talk) 12:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry for being obtuse. None. They had received a prior report which they deemed non actionable, and set mine aside because of that. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're forgiven, but only because I'm fond of the word obtuse. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 16:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Related to this editor and person, please may I have your opinion on the following:
  • This website has a wikipedia logo at its foot
  • Clicking that logo leads to https://wiki.sts.ir/Adel_Shirazy.html which purports to be a WMF site
  • While it has most of the lookj and feel of a Wikipedia, that is incomplete, thus I feel it may be "Passing an Off" as a true WMF site. I am aware that any text on a real WMF site is able to be used under the the CC BY-SA 4.0 License and GFDL, but WMF may have technical reasons for objecting
I have no idea where to go with this information. I'm asking you because I trust your opinions. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 10:33, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not an expert on what the Foundation considers legal, and I have no opinion on whether you should report it to the Foundation. My mixed experience with the Foundation is they may not even respond, but if that doesn't bother you (I'm not fond of it personally) ... --Bbb23 (talk) 12:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also have a jaded opinion of the foundation. I'll have a hunt and just fire and forget I think. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:48, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tiyyar article protection

hello Bbb23, the article at Tiyyar keep getting vandalized by anonymous IPs. Sources added by other editors have been deleted by this anonymous IP and they move the current status of the community to the history section, which is not a suitable place for it. The IP also not using Talk Page, only reverting. So I request Extended Page Protection for the page. Piyush Chekavar (talk) 09:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked Special:contributions/2600:4040:4521:900:0:0:0:0/64 for one month for block evasion. Your request for protection is at WP:RFPP, and another admin will evaluate it.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Potential sock farm

Hi Bbb23. You blocked Richweller10 recently for spamming... I am certain that they're the latest sock in a group I reported at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DannyEddy20. Every one of them has edited about this "Concordium" cryptocurrency company. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:58, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. We'll see what the CU says.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel

Bbb, I'm wondering--this is pretty disruptive and I kind of take it personally. Will you consider revdeletion under RD2 or 3? Thanks. Oh, happy birthday to your country! Drmies (talk) 13:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, I probably should've done it when I reverted them. Hey, you're really going to town with that article - well done you! I think the nation's birthday cake is getting very moldy.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Now I feel like wrapping some hotdogs in bacon. We should have a football game today, per the constitution. Drmies (talk) 13:44, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong document. We should not have a football game today...per the bible: Thou shalt not commit footballery! (Most people don't know that god used exclamation points - no edit filters in those days.) --Bbb23 (talk) 13:49, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Drmies Hey, don't tell anybody, but I'm secretly rooting for Alabama. ;) NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:46, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck on your game. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:47, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Every person in their right mind supports Alabama; Bbb will confirm. "My game" is Saturday, of course. Bbb, you're coming over, right? If you do, I'll make bitterballen. Drmies (talk) 14:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You should try making manchurian; oh my god, the flavor just explodes in your mouth. Trust me, you won't regret it. On top of that, use chutney to make it even better. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 14:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A little question

Hey, I've looked at your edits. I am not a sockpuppet of any account whatsoever, I just want to get into editing Wikipedia. Normanhunter2 (talk) 22:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I looked at your edits. I am a sockpuppet of many accounts altogether, I just want to get into editing Wikipedia by repeatedly evading my block in blazingly obvious fashion. (fixed it)-- Ponyobons mots 22:25, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I wish it had been "blazingly obvious" to me. I almost came to you in the first instance, but I thought you might not want to stick around. Just curious: did Norman's post here attract your attention or something else?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:58, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ponyo, lucky you, you've given me time to come up with another question: did you recognize the account behaviorally?--Bbb23 (talk) 17:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recognized the behaviour in general, not specific to the master though. -- Ponyobons mots 17:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think it would help if I were to file an SPI for the record; they have quite a few socks not to have one.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:38, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, if you'd like. -- Ponyobons mots 17:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article for the Bulgarian domain register

I saw that my article about the Bulgarian top-level domain registry "Register.BG" has been deleted. The reason given is that the article appears to be about web content that does not credibly state how or why the topic is important or significant. My desire was to create an article about the 20-year history of the organization, which has actively participated in the development of the Internet in Bulgaria. For the country of Bulgaria this is very important topic and has a significance for the Bulgarian community.It is a history that is important to preserve and make available to the public. Any help from you on how to get the article published would be greatly appreciated. The article is saved in my profile page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nickpetersen2023/Register.BG I tried to publish the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register.BG Please help me !!! Nickpetersen2023 (talk) 10:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help you how? The page was not ready for article space and was deleted accordingly. You still have it in your userspace. I suggest you move it to draft space and go through the WP:AFC process where experienced reviewers can give you feedback.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing revert

Why did you do this? The template documentation says to use it if someone has been gone for 3+ months and someone may plausibly post to that person's talk page looking for a response. Sure enough, you wrote exactly that: "He hasn't been here for three months, so he may not respond". Why remove the template? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 00:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the language that the template generates about "leaving Wikipedia". Drop it.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:35, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per the template, parameter 1 could have any arbitrary text. Do you have a proposal of what language would be better? Or after x period of not editing you would stop reverting adding the template? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 00:37, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Courcelles is a long-term administrator and functionary. This is not the first extended break they've taken. If they choose to announce their break, as some do, that's their business, but it's not your job to do it for them. My last response.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:46, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea why you are being so rude to me and what you wrote in no way answers my questions. You may want to review Wikipedia:Civility. I guess I'm glad that I won't see more comments by you on this topic. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 01:24, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
