| Hi {{ping|Bbb23|Abecedare}} I have no issues with the closure of this ] or wish to pursue any other action against the user. However, I do have some concern about the users understanding of the copyright policy on Misplaced Pages.

I don't think this was out of malice or with wrong intent but because the user may not, even now, correctly comprehend it. From my memory, I do remember that one needs to clearly state their understanding about Wiki's CR policy on you talk page after you have been tagged with violating it multiple times.

I'm sorting two sockdrawers. Could use a confirmation on new probable sock.
Metcalf89 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
Mr. Young at Heart (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) - already indeffed as a sock of User:Emmy Expert, but most recent edits were with this account.
Higher Ground 1 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) - already indeffed as a sock of User:Chitt66; most recent use.
Let me know if this would be better sorted at SPI. We've already got an ongoing investigation at ANI: Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Long-term disruption, copyvios, trademark-vios, plus 8 solid months of total refusal to interact with other editors (Permalink) and have a pretty solid assessment of the behavioural patterns that have given all of these away. But it would be helpful to know which drawer to put this one in. Would you mind glancing at this one to see which match, if any? I don't know if we're dealing with dynamic or static IPs, or if this may actually be the missing link that means this is one big sockdrawer. Thanks. - CorbieV ☼ 19:23, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
- I don't believe I can help much. Nor do I see that it matters which drawer you put them in. They're all blocked, so it's more academic at this point. Filing a report at SPI will probably get you nowhere because it will likely be summarily closed.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:06, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
- I just blocked them. The patterns are clear at this point. One drawer or more, doesn't really matter. - CorbieV ☼ 23:31, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
Tirritating
Can we put SineBot on delay? 30 seconds or a minute would make a big difference. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 00:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

I think these two users are connected
Johnhexer and Vijayabhaskar02 seem to have same vocabulary and style of writing. I noticed it in a recent interaction at an AfD where both of these users used exact phrase "As a member of Misplaced Pages" and Johnhexer's first statement in Afd matches the statement on Vijaya's first line of user page "to contribute verified content to the community." Thanks! Dial911 (talk) 17:52, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Links would be helpful.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:02, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- See Johnhexter's comment in this discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/StuMagz and user page of Vijay https://en.wikipedia.org/User:Vijayabhaskar02 Dial911 (talk) 18:05, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- The two accounts + Tanneruvenugopalam (talk · contribs · count) are
Confirmed, blocked and tagged. I would normally drop a note at the AfD, but that thing is a mess!--Bbb23 (talk) 18:48, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, leave the note. Thanks for the help! Dial911 (talk) 19:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- No, I meant I am not leaving a note. It would get lost in all the clutter anyway.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:45, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Haha, even I meant the same. Leave (dropping) the note. Dial911 (talk) 19:55, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

More for your drawer
Regularfinn (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
No clue who this is, but pretty clearly Bookwormboy2 (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) you CU blocked yesterday. Just letting you know in case its one you run sleeper checks on. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:58, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- @TonyBallioni: None I could find on a quick check (I want to sign off for the evening). BTW, Bookwormboy2 is WhenDatHotlineBling (talk · contribs · count). Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:18, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
More sock puppets on Patrick Treacy page?
You blocked some sock puppets on the page Patrick Treacy and I reverted the page to the pre-sock-puppet content (although I suspect that some of the earlier contributors might have been sock puppets too). Someone swept back in (using a similar sort of naming convention to a previous sock: Mcmanusbr as compared to Oliveroc) and reverted and now someone else (again adopting a similar naming convention as previous socks: Tariqsaeed2018 as compared to Joyland2017) has come in and made further edits that burnish the subject's reputation. I suspect it's socks again. If you look at the discussion on the talk page, you'll see that pages about this particular subject have a "history".

Can't log in
Hi Bbb23, it's User:Prisonermonkeys here. I'm having a bit of trouble with my account and I'm told you might be able to help.
A few weeks ago, I got a notification that someone had tried to log into my account. As it tured out, I wasn't alone; hundreds, if not thousands of accounts were affected. I changed my password as a precaution and didn't think much of it until this week.
I edit exclusively from a mobile device and this week I got a new phone. I tried to log in, but realised I had forgotten my password. I then tried to recover it, only to be told that no e-mail address is registered to my account. At this point, I'm more stoopid than lyin', so I'm wondering if there is anything thst can be done short of creating a new account (or if not, if I can create a new account and have my old editing privileges restored). 1.129.106.204 (talk) 09:00, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
- As far as I know, there is no way to recover your old account unless you had an e-mail address associated with it, which I don't believe you did. Ajraddatz, assuming you're a good person to ask, am I right about that? That means your only recourse is to create a new account. Once that's done, you should put a notice on the userpage of the new account and of the old account establishing the relationship between the two accounts so other editors know. Once you've created your new account, let me know, and I'll be glad to give you the same permissions you had with the old.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:10, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Bbb. Seems odd that I don't have an e-mail tied to the account; it's so common that I just assumed that I did. Anyway, truth be told, I could probably use a break from Misplaced Pages. I've been editing almost non-stop for nine years now and while there's one or two articles that I'd like to see through to GA or even FA status, I don't have any long-term projects in mind. 1.144.107.161 (talk) 20:27, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
CU-blocked user Canadianji
Hello. There's also another account, Skarduji (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), that you might want to block, since it's obviously related to Canadianji, and tag-team vandalized Skardu with them a few days ago (Canadianji, Skarduji). Cheers, - Tom | Thomas.W 13:42, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I already know about that account and others, but I haven't yet blocked them. There are enough of them I need to reopen the SPI to list them. Plus, I wanted to eat breakfast.
--Bbb23 (talk) 14:04, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Faizanali.007
In case my message is ignored, I am informing you here that the connection of Faizanali.007 with International Editor Shah was largely believed by admins, and had been used as basis to decline unblock requests of International Editor Shah. Kindly re-open the SPI if its possible. Lorstaking (talk) 18:34, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Question
Since you are an expert regarding what is appropriate ;-), I have a question: As you know, I am banned from editing anything related to automobile; now, the article Automobile redirects to car. Does that mean that I can safely create articles on rail transport vehicles? Best regards, --Johannes Maximilian (talk) 23:43, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Another sockpuppet early-today
Breaking news on Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/FrancoLeymas - Early today:
ArgosBeta24, currently is one of the fourteen sockpuppets by FrancoLeymas. I check early today in the Spanish Misplaced Pages, this user was blocked indefinetly for abusing multiple accounts. Overall, 14 sockpuppets was blocked indefinetly since January 31, 2018. --Ikeone 00:38, 12 July 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ikeuno (talk • contribs)
Regarding Faizanali.007
Hi @Bbb23 and Abecedare: I have no issues with the closure of this SPI or wish to pursue any other action against the user. However, I do have some concern about the users understanding of the copyright policy on Misplaced Pages. I did check their current talk page and the talk page of their earlier accounts and IMO this issue has not been resolved correctly. Thus, the user has continued to upload images with CR violations even after being on Misplaced Pages for 5+ years. I don't think this was out of malice or with wrong intent but because the user may not, even now, correctly comprehend it. From my memory, I do remember that one needs to clearly state their understanding about Wiki's CR policy on you talk page after you have been tagged with violating it multiple times. I am not doing this out of retaliation or trying to get back at the user, but ensuring that they continue to contribute positively. I am pinging Diannaa my go to admin for CR advice. @Diannaa: In your recommendation is this required for this user? I will defer to whatever you guys decide. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 17:15, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
- I had seen that SPI since Nauriya has been also filing frivolous SPIs against me and I have no interaction with him. I was blocked for my 2nd or 3rd copyright violation, but why Nauriya is still surviving regardless the deletion of 52 out of 118 uploaded images deleted for being copyvio and the SPI comments were showing lack of understanding of copyvio. Furthermore, the blocking policy (Misplaced Pages:Sock puppetry#Blocking) on sock puppetry say "If a person is found to be using a sock puppet, the sock puppet account(s) should be blocked indefinitely." Nauriya should be asked to use his main (Faizanali.007) account, not Nauriya according to that policy. Thanks. My Lord (talk) 17:25, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
- Not sure I much to add beyond what I said at the SPI. I won't speak for Bbb23, but I believe User:Nauriya would qualify as the "main" account for the user given that it is most current and most active; in short, I believe the current set of accounts blocked is appropriate.
- And while the copyvio uploads are a concern and something to keep an eye on, I'll note that the issue with the most recent violation was a relatively subtle one that many users misunderstand and even disagree on. Additionally, the previous upload that was deleted was deleted at the user's own request (since they had uploaded another version of the poster). Therefore, I will step-in only if there is any future socking/copyvio/proxying or similarly disruptive activity. Of course, if another admin examines the evidence and decides that immediate blocks are needed, that would be fine with me. Abecedare (talk) 19:00, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
