I've been asked by someone connected to them to look into it as they didn't know what the problem was - which appears to be a combination of role/organisation accounts (they didn't know were a problem) COI (which they didn't understand) and the requirement for secondary sourcing (which afaik never got to be explained to them because of being blocked for being an org account....) regards ] (]) 14:29, 30 November 2018 (UTC) | |||

| == ClassifEYE: A7 does not apply to a Product or Service/requesting AfD == | |||
| While researching & writing ClassifEye "Eye" (the software product) I encountered Google hits for "EYE" (Baader's hardware-based product); both involve using cameras for classifications- | |||
| * "Eye" for fingerprint authentication | |||
| * "EYE" for filtering out damaged chicken wings, bruises, other unfavorable situations. | |||
| My original goal was to write "Eye" but I started "EYE" so others could help it along if I didn't do enough to make it Wiki-worthy. | |||
| A7= No indication of importance (people, animals, organization, web content, events) | |||
| That makes the A7 seem like a mistake. | |||
| As for G11 (G11= Unambiguous advertising or promotion), it is not unambiguos, and I'd like to be given an AfD opportunity. Wiki even has WP:HEY to prove the value of AfD. | |||
| Speedy, from the little I've read, is for lightening the load at AfD. | |||

| :::You still make no sense, but I assume you want the article restored so it can go through the AfD process. That's not how things work. You haven't justified restoring the article in the first instance. As for the A7 issue, I construed the article to be in fact an article about the non-notable company that makes the product and that your focus on the product was an attempt to game the A7 issue.

| ::You know -- that's a really long story. I'm not sure why the "GRP" name stuck. One of his idiosyncrasies is that he wants to be perceived as a group of different people, and keeps renaming himself -- "no, I'm named George! No, Goran! No, Gogi! No, Goorge!" etc. One of his early obsessions was with George Reeves and it kind of stuck. "BoxingWear" was the sock that got the most name recognition though. He's still quite active, on various Wikimedia projects, harassing and spamming links to various junk he has splattered around the internet.

| == Close challenge == | |||
| Bbb23, I object to your close of the ]. Serious concerns about GiantSnowman use of mass rollback have been raised and have not been adequately resolved. Contrary to your close statement, he explicitly said that he would continue using it in greyer areas (such as this incident and some others highlighted by other users). I am seeking input from the community about this issue, regardless of whether you think that administration action is going to be taken. This reminds me of the time six years ago when you did the same thing when I reported an admin for edit warring. | |||
| Please re-open the discussion and <s>quit being so heavy handed</s>. Thank you.- ]] 🖋 15:07, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| :{{yo|MrX}} {{tpw|safe=yes}} Bbb23's close is entirely appropriate. {{ul|GiantSnowman}} has acknowledged that their use of the mass rollback script was inappropriate and has promised to discontinue using it in light of the complaints. The rollback permission can't be removed from administrators, so keeping the thread open to harp on it more is just harassment at this point. If you want to bring this to Arbcom to pursue having GiantSnowman's admin permissions removed then do so, but I think you know how that's going to go. ] (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 15:41, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| ::Actually, I said I'd ''stop'' in grey areas - my exact words were "I'll continue to use mass rollback against clear vandalism/socks etc. However, I'll be far more careful about using it in greyer areas." Like Ivanvector says this is beginning to feel like harassment now. ]] 15:44, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| :::"be far more careful" is not semantically equivalent to "stop". How do you not realize that? And no one is harassing you; they're asking you to use the tools responsibly from now on. You have given flippant responses that don't address the magnitude or seriousness of the concerns. You should only be using mass roll back for unambiguous vandalism or sockpuppetry, and you consult with others otherwise. - ]] 🖋 16:04, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Yes it does. Numerous editors/admins have closed/said to move on, and the editor in question accepted my apology and explanation ''hours'' ago; you're basically just piling on at this stage. ]] 16:11, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| :::::<s>You're being defensive and avoiding what I actually wrote.</s> You were asked if you would stop using mass rollback, and you answered that you would be far more careful about using it in the gray areas. That's not good enough. - ]] 🖋 16:18, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::If you'd like to propose that GS should be banned from use of the mass rollback tool, you should start a new discussion (below the closed one would be a good place) proposing that as a formal sanction.

| *{{ec}} I'm going to jump in here. The only reason I didn't respond to MrX was because of their approach, not because of the facts they set forth. MrX is correct that GS did not say he would stop using the script in gray areas, only that he would be more careful. My closure should have been better worded to reflect that, and GS should either acknowledge that's what he'll do henceforth or say, no, he'll stop using the script except for socks and vandalism. From my point of view, I would have closed the discussion anyway because I believe that GS's being more careful in the future is good enough. I see no reason to throttle GS's use of the script as it sounds like he has already taken to heart comments by others.--] (]) 16:38, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| I have nothing against GS but this abuse of rollback and his flipant excuses and offer to be more careful in "grey areas" (this was not a grey area) would be treated much differently if he was a regular user. For example - blocked users have to fully admit wrong doing and promise not to repeat to get an unblock, regardless of the truth of the matter. A non-Admin might have been blocked or at least topic banned - it has happened to me on far less evidence. Another case of Admin privilege, a too quick close and no sanctions to prevent further abuse. ] (]) 17:07, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| :Like I said to MrX, the approach here is the same whether admin or not: propose a restriction and have the community debate. There are plenty of administrators who are under editing restrictions imposed by the community because of issues with their editing or their use of this-or-that non-sysop tools (as the massrollback script is - you can use it if you want to), and based on how that discussion was going, if you were to propose that GS should be banned from use of massrollback, you'd find some support. But chasing an editor (admin or otherwise) demanding that their acknowledgement of the issue isn't "good enough", particularly when the user who was ''actually'' harmed has already moved on, is just plain harassment, and no editor (admin or otherwise) should have to tolerate it. That's my opinion regardless of whether you invited me to the party. ] (<sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub>) 17:20, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| *I apologize to Bbb23, {{u|GiantSnowman}}, and {{u|Ivanvector}} for my rudeness, and if I came across as harassing, aggressive, or just annoying. That was not my intention. It's quite likely that my perspective on this issue is distorted, so I'm going to disengage and let cooler heads prevail. Please accept my apology.- ]] 🖋 18:21, 5 December 2018 (UTC) | |||

Hey, Joeypike2021 you blocked but they are using their talk page inappropriately afterwards so may need a talk page revoke. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:55, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Socking at Moorgate tube crash
At Moorgate tube crash I see only one user - 81.111.22.107 (talk) - expunging the term "motorman", but one revert by yourself with the edit summary "revert sock". Who are they a sockpuppet of? --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 09:49, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- It says who in the block log.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:55, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
Possible sock?
Not sure if this would be prefer to have a new SPI page created or not, but I've stumbled across the account 'Harold19289' which (at least to me) appears to be similarly-named to the blocked account 'Jake18288'. Along with that, both have a similar, "I am ______ and joined Misplaced Pages on _______" opening intro, Harold's on the userpage and Jake's on their talk page. It also appears that Harold attempted editing Untamed1910's talk page, which Jake has previously edited.
I also decided to report it here rather than make an SPI page as I see Jake's block is for sockpuppetry, but from what I'm seeing, it's not to avoid a block on another account (unless I'm missing something). Thanks. Magitroopa (talk) 10:22, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- Also looking a bit more into it, there appears to be both a 'Knowledgeseeker2828' and 'Knowledgeseeker1928' account. Also not 100% sure here, but this looks a bit similar to this... so maybe it is a possible block evasion case altogether? Unless my mind is playing tricks on me at 5am, lol. Magitroopa (talk) 10:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- If you haven't already, you should look at that tortured conversation I had with Jake on his Talk page. I've blocked Harold as a sock of Jake, but I see no point in blocking the other accounts, even if they're obvious socks, who haven't edited in a while - that would include the two Knowledgeseeker accounts. However, if you're interested in finding more, you could file an SPI and request a CU. It's highly unlikely I'll find them on my own because I don't pay any attention to the articles they edit. Feel free to come here, though, if you see a new one. Thanks! --Bbb23 (talk) 15:06, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
Notice of noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrative action review regarding an action which you performed. The thread is I just followed the instructions on https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrative_action_review and it listed the request for Administrator Action Review on that page. This is with regard to you blocking me over what I perceive as a content dispute, your refusal to discuss matters or comply with Misplaced Pages's principles even on request, your revocation of TPA, and disparaging statements / personal attacks (from my perspective) you made during content consensus discussion and on my talk page..
