[01:27:22] darkmatterman450, looking at your Jackson sock case now [01:36:38] Okay, good. [01:40:28] darkmatterman450, :BanCatMH: [01:41:58] @Doug Very good, but now for this one. Be sure to also check the companybumperswiki too. [01:42:49] Oh, it seems like you're finished with the closinglogosgroupwiki investigation. Which case will you look through now? [01:43:22] Which reports do I have left to do? Can you remind me which users were involved in each report? [01:44:53] You still have the GuessWhosFromBasedLands case to look through, and that other batch of ThePBSArchive2020 sockpuppets that aren't stale as of yet on the companybumperswiki to look through. [01:46:44] Given the obvious evidence of the guy is from above, and the quacking similarity in usernames. [01:49:40] oh, ok [01:49:47] let me try and find your original report [01:49:56] were they since Thursday at 1:22 pm? [01:50:41] darkmatterman450, found them I think [01:52:30] I believe so. But that specific time you added was when I reported a Jackson sockpuppet that you have locked up not too long ago. [01:53:13] darkmatterman450, I'll do the `reallifevillainswiki` one first. The user's edits don't seem that problematic, other than this one (https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Benito_Mussolini&diff=prev&oldid=137700), but my concern is that they might be continuing to create accounts in order to appeal their block and discuss controversial edits [01:53:15] [url] Difference between revisions of "Benito Mussolini" - Real Life Villains Wiki | reallifevillains.miraheze.org [01:53:26] what was the `companybumperswiki` report though? [01:54:12] Remind me again who the suspected master of GuessWhosFromBasedLands was? Was it NAZ? [01:54:20] Just another batch of non-stale ThePBSArchive2020 sockpuppets that were found. I'll go into detail if I can keep myself awake and not confuse myself. [01:54:34] oof, https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Abdullah_%C3%96calan&diff=prev&oldid=137703 [01:54:35] [url] Difference between revisions of "Abdullah Öcalan" - Real Life Villains Wiki | reallifevillains.miraheze.org [01:54:38] No, the master account was BasedGuy123. [01:56:12] okay, thanks [01:56:21] oh [01:56:28] I don't remember BasedGuy123 [01:56:34] did I lock him? [01:56:42] .mhca BasedGuy123 [01:56:42] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/BasedGuy123 [01:58:00] oh [01:58:01] To reiterate, these 2 particular diffs were enough to convince me that they are the same person, even if the older accounts from back in June are stale: https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Jorge_Rafael_Videla&diff=prev&oldid=130221 (ManFromLeastBasedLands2006) https://reallifevillains.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Jorge_Rafael_Videla&diff=prev&oldid=137707 (GuessWhosFromBasedLands) [01:58:04] [url] Difference between revisions of "Jorge Rafael Videla" - Real Life Villains Wiki | reallifevillains.miraheze.org [01:58:06] [url] Difference between revisions of "Jorge Rafael Videla" - Real Life Villains Wiki | reallifevillains.miraheze.org [01:58:07] I was thinking of Omar Bongos [01:58:16] that was a sock of a different user on that wiki lol [01:58:24] Yes you did. [01:59:02] this is a case where the master account was never used to edit, but the socks were [01:59:37] Have there been more recent confirmed socks of BasedGuy123? [01:59:49] BasedGuy123 was locked quite awhile ago [02:00:24] yeah I agree [02:00:31] the behavioural evidence is compelling [02:01:21] No, just GuessWhosFromBasedLands. And that username shares a resemblance to older usernames of the sockpuppets, including their master account. [02:10:38] Hmmm? So it seems like you are finding out a bit more than what I've realized, it seems. [02:53:33] Yes, I have to investigate this further, but will aim to finish it tonight. For now, though, I need a break for a couple hours [02:53:40] Going to go watch a short-ish movie [02:55:17] dmehus: Enjoy :) [03:01:46] Okay then @dmehus. [03:08:33] Agent, darkmatterman450, ty [15:35:44] dmehus: please ask before undoing my actions [15:35:55] Also what constructive edit is gonna happen there [15:36:05] ? [15:36:43] I'm guessing this is likely going to be private, as I am quite confused here. [15:37:04] No [15:37:09] I'm confused why RhinosF1 would ping me in -cvt for a local TestWiki matter [15:37:23] #miraheze-feed-test and #miraheze-testwiki exist [15:37:36] dmehus: my brain is half asleep [15:37:42] RhinosF1, ack [15:37:47] The reason why I made that assumption is mainly because I'm just being cautious with the questions I might ask that aren't appropriate. [15:38:43] Pinged here for easy reach maybe :p [15:38:57] But seeing as though this was related to the Public Test Wiki, I guess I won't have to worry about that being private as that seems to not be the case here. [15:41:17] If it was private [15:41:23] I'd ask for a P/DM [15:41:56] Oh yeah, that's true. That's why I was being cautious of any questions that might've been private. [15:42:26] Did he really revert the edit action though? There doesn't seem to have been protection before and dmehus made a tweak including rationale, and in neither case there seems to be definitive local policy on its protection; plus if there wasn't protection before the edit protect was not done entirely, just slackened [15:42:32] Raidarr, I mean I do check my pings in all the channels I follow (which is about 20 or so channels [15:42:49] But if that's a discussion I'll avoid what I did yesterday and only pursue in the appropriate relay :p [15:48:12] We try and avoid Consul protection on TestWiki, where possible, in keeping with the TestWiki ethos that users are free to test and make constructive improvements. It's an interwiki soft redirect, with no inlinks, so isn't technically a "policy page." It's questionable whether it's even a high traffic page, given the lack of inlinks. That being said, RhinosF1 and I discussed the redirect's utility anymore (since the Terms of Use footer link [15:48:12] links to m:Terms of Use now) and it seems that deletion and creation protection would also work [16:18:08] dmehus: check PMs when you've the time [16:18:11] thanks [16:18:22] Agent, sure [16:34:11] https://polcompball.miraheze.org/wiki/Council_Communism#comment-16734 https://polcompball.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=44746 I'm seeing more inappropriate comments here.
