[00:26:01] Don't speak Italian or what it is in. Imma run it through a translator [00:27:08] THE STUDY TELL ME THAT THE LICKING VANDALS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ARRESTED TELL ME NOW THAT LICKING VANDALS ARE ALREADY IN PRISON I WARNED YOU [00:27:27] ??? I am genuinely confused about this [00:27:43] What "licking vandals"? [00:29:23] But still, kinda spammy [00:35:59] That's just an LTA from Nonciclopedia. [00:36:20] Yeah, makes sense. [00:36:33] Seems like an alternate acc [00:36:45] Especially the "I WARNED YOU" part [01:03:07] https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Billandtedisbetter [01:03:10] [url] User contributions for Billandtedisbetter - Rotten Websites Wiki | rottenwebsites.miraheze.org [10:06:59] <لوريم.إيبسوم> @Bukkit | Justin in case you wanna have the translation: (I tried to avoid really using some of the heavier swaerwords) yeah some terms aren't really translateable, it's just a long list of insults saying: the stuff in caps reads: ||go and fuck yourself, you brown noser! you do not even know what the fuck you delete. ah right I remember, you weren't even born when this article came into existence. next time [10:06:59] you do a piece of bullshit you'll be banned in eternity and I'll call Maurizio Mosca and the private "delpiero" police [one is a famous TV show presenter, the other a footballer]. verdict and execution! pay attention, last warning.|| the first contribution said: ||I'm fed up! go and vandalize in another place, casuse you are a fucking vandal who cancels stuff arbitrarly and who does not even read that this stuff ehre is part of the [10:07:00] article. Look there the stupid sycophantic noobs, chosen by the holy, filthy as his vice-admins. go on, try again, I will call maurizio mosca who will arrest you with his personal delpieropolice. [same thing as before] || [10:08:11] <لوريم.إيبسوم> judging by the way he writes it could be Utente:Depresso_Caspico not sure about that tho [10:10:54] <لوريم.إيبسوم> licking is used as "ar**licker" here, so brown noser essentially, google translates it weirdly [10:14:35] I've asked Reception123 to globally block it if he's somehow active. [12:56:27] https://meta.gyaanipedia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/103.105.209.250 And this IP is massively advertising Farhan Rana Rajpoot. I think this may need a global block. [12:56:29] [url] User contributions for 103.105.209.250 - Meta | meta.gyaanipedia.com [15:54:58] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Farhan+Rana+Rajpoot+Verified Yay, lock evasion of a cross-wiki spammer. [15:54:59] [url] Global account information for Farhan Rana Rajpoot Verified - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [15:58:03] That same user seriously advertises on FAMEPedia Articles. [15:58:25] that user has so many usernames [15:58:27] He also tried to advertise on Commons and got banned [15:58:33] (account) [15:58:50] There is a large influx of self-promoters on Commons, just like him, all from FAMEpedia [15:58:52] Th IP needs a global lockout [16:00:43] Yeah, That's why I don't give them that chance at all. Thanks to @Mazzaz as he has joined me on FAMEPedia in fighting them [16:00:48] lol [16:02:47] This is the same user https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Farhan+Rana+Rajpoot [16:02:50] [url] Global account information for Farhan Rana Rajpoot - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [16:04:40] Speaking of FAMEpedia and no chances, Josephwcarrillo tried to self-promote on Commons and I see that on FAMEpedia, he inserted himself into the "Celebrity" article [16:04:41] I think this very username was globally locked out by @Reception123 about 2 days ago [16:04:48] Indeed, it was [16:06:52] Maybe I missed that, lol I'm pretty sure that I didn't watch that [16:07:01] You actually saw that? [16:08:19] Yes, he inserted his image in the Celebrity page, it's the second image on there, and he used that as a reference point for his fame while trying to self-promote on Commons [16:08:20] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443926951292567562/862726804652556298/unknown.png [16:08:42] He also copied the entire Wikipedia "Celebrity" article just to insert himself under Nicki Minaj [16:09:49] Oh wow, this got me. Lol [16:09:56] He per se isn't anyone notable, all he's done is release about 2 songs so I don [16:09:59] 't know [16:10:13] Please share a link to that article [16:10:21] https://en.famepedia.org/wiki/Celebrity [16:10:22] [url] Celebrity - FAMEPedia | en.famepedia.org [16:10:34] Yeah, I think so [16:16:02] Hahaha, I went through that article and saw how he self-promoted himself with some keywords "Celebrity", "Notable", "Famous" and so on. [16:17:14] Indeed, he self-proclaimed himself as "The World Famous Singer-songwriter" [16:17:46] This got me, Swrs. Hahaha [16:18:52] You think this could warrant a CheckUser? I mean, they have created so many duck-like accounts and kept quacking into the megaphone. [16:20:06] Yes. [16:21:04] Especially the IP this user uses https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Farhan+Rana+Rajpoot [16:21:06] [url] Global account information for Farhan Rana Rajpoot - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [16:21:45] If Void wants to (that is, if he's in better spirits than yesterday), he could look. Otherwise, maybe another Steward could look. [16:22:36] That account was globally locked for cross-wiki spamming. [16:23:17] Yeah I saw that [16:24:02] and now this https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Farhan_Rana_Rajpoot_Verified [16:24:03] [url] Global account information for Farhan Rana Rajpoot Verified - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [16:24:50] Locked [16:25:04] Do you get alerted when you're globally locked? I thought you simply just couldn't log in [16:25:13] Thanks @Reception123 [16:25:48] @Agent when you try to log in there should be a message [16:26:13] Yes, this is the raw message: {{GENDER:$1|You}} cannot log in because {{GENDER:$1|your}} account is globally locked. Please contact cvt[at]miraheze.org for more information or to appeal. [16:26:13] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/GENDER:Template:%241 [16:26:15] [url] GENDER:Template:$1 - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [16:26:31] However, you won't get a specified reason for the global lock. [16:27:23] yeah, unless you know how to see CentralAuth, though I'm sure the vast majority know very well why they've been locked either way [16:27:27] Oh, I see. I thought you just couldn't log in and I thought maybe they didn't know why their credentials didn't work but now I see that you get a message when you login so they know they've been locked and are purposefully evading [16:28:23] yeah, it wouldn't be good if there was no specific message definitely [16:29:18] They have been constantly creating accounts to evade locks. [16:29:42] Reception123: it used to be that way [16:29:55] Used to just say password or username incorrect [16:30:38] oh did it? [16:30:46] Yep [16:30:52] Yeah, that's what I thought, I had read this Phabricator task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T17294 which stated "Global accounts currently cannot be blocked, [...]. This is very user-unfriendly, as it does not give an error message. From the user's perspective, their session simply disappears and their password no longer works." so I got confused [16:30:54] [url] ⚓ T17294 Allow blocking of global accounts | phabricator.wikimedia.org [16:30:55] It's not great but at the same time I still think most users will understand why they've been locked [16:31:10] though there will be some who will genuinely not know [16:31:59] @Agent: yeah that's a very old task [16:33:27] RhinosF1: I see that now but I failed to see that when I first glanced at it that it was a task made in 2008, all I saw was that it was still open so I got confused [16:39:29] @Agent: it probably won't get worked on unless a volunteer does it as an extension [16:40:02] Tbh AHT's last two projects haven't been completed so I'm not sure it'd be worth them doing it [17:49:11] @Stewards This page is violating the code of conduct and content policy and needs to get deleted: https://sephspace.miraheze.org/wiki/Reception_Wikis [17:49:13] [url] Permission error - Seph's Space of Craziness | sephspace.miraheze.org [18:01:20] The wiki is on private. [18:01:26] I know [18:01:42] Someone else sent me the source code, you can have it if you want [18:04:14] Okay, [18:09:37] Are you sure that what they sent to you is accurate and not a forgery? [18:12:03] That's an important question @MarioMario456 [18:12:18] yes [18:17:28] The page does appear to be libelous in nature, I do believe it would be wise for a Steward to review it [18:17:54] Is it possible if I could see it? If not, that’s fine [18:21:17] Well after going through the source, I I'm sure @MarioMario456 is right [18:22:43] :this: [18:56:30] I can't even see it, especially since the wiki is private and I've been blocked there. [18:57:51] Do you need the source code of the page? [18:58:17] Yes, since I have no idea what's happening, since they're private. [19:47:26] Just had a look, and that article about the Reception Wikis they had up on the sephspacewiki are extremely biased and the points are either nothing new, or is just pointing out the obvious, and is just mooching off points from other users.
