A possibility of the return of Kim Cardassian

Hey Tiptoety. I seen that you participated in the SPI investigation involving the above mentioned blocked editor. I know it was a long time ago, but I was curious as to your opinion to if Power~enwiki is a sock of Cardassian. I don't want to ping them into this converstation, as they have a tendency to exhibit battleground behavior when confronted. I notice that "~enwiki" was a reoccuring theme in the aformentioned SPI case, and since Power~enwiki came about, I've seen a large uptake in accounts with this phrase. Thank you for taking the time to read my comments, and in advance for your response. Boomer Vial 03:45, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Since this editor has been inactive for two years (I really should've checked before leaving this), I'm bringing administrators that I know are active to the conversation. Boomer Vial 03:49, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Well I'm not familiar with Kim Cardassian but that doesn't strike me as at all likely. Power~enwiki has been registered since 2003, which would be very long lived for a sockpuppet. The "~enwiki" thing was added as part of the introduction of SUL, if I remember correctly if users on two wikis had the same username then the most active one got to keep it and the other one had the wiki name (this one is enwiki) added to it to disambiguate. This means it isn't surprising to see old accounts with few edits with "~enwiki" after the username. And you don't seem to have any other evidence. Hut 8.5 07:47, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) @Boomer Vial: I was pinged here from . I'm not familiar with this sock master, as they were last active before I started editing actively. However, I can confirm that the ~enwiki is actually a result of WP:SUL finalization. When two accounts on different Wikimedia projects had the same username, they were unable to be unified globally, so what the WMF did was force those users to rename their accounts, and OriginalUsername~enwiki happened to be the default template for English Misplaced Pages accounts. Due to this, I don't think the username can be used as a behavioral idiosyncrasy for the purposes of identifying sockpuppetry. You'll have to find more specific behavioral evidence.

Mz7 Hut 8.5 As well as moving articles without an explanation, they seem to focus on AfD, and their subsequent logs. Looking at the creation logs for the sockmaster, and the sockpuppet shows that a lot of the socks were created before the deemed sockmaster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boomer Vial (talk • contribs) 7:58, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Unblocking indef'd IP

Just as a heads up, I think you accidentally indefinitely blocked 73.9.140.64 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) back in mid 2015. I've gone and unblocked them, but let me know if there was a good reason for it. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:26, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
