Question regarding the page on Tratayenia
I was curious as to why the page regarding the megaraptoran theropod Tratayenia was deleted. Is there any way to restore it and have it cited in a better format? Saberrex-Strongheart (talk) 00:04, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay. It was deleted per WP:CSD#G5 in a "mass deletion", meaning I don't examine every article before deleting. In this case it is appropriate to restore it, and I have.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:00, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help. And while you're at it, can you also restore Anomalipes, please? Atlantis536 (talk) 03:01, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- I don't know anything about dinosaurs, but the sock involved has a history of creating dubious articles. Unlike Tratayenia, Anomalipes clearly qualified for deletion. Also, its only source is not something I can easily verify. Is there another editor who has a more extensive history on Misplaced Pages than you who could corroborate that a restoration is appropriate? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:38, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- I've followed your advice and talked to User:FunkMonk, an editor with a good editing history on prehistory-related articles. I've showed him that Anomalipes was a real, scientifically-described dinosaur, and said that we can definitely recreate the Anomalipes page. Atlantis536 (talk) 09:37, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
Done --Bbb23 (talk) 11:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of Schöma
Hello,
Instead of deleting Schöma, you could have called a "stub". Extensive information is available in de: Schöma. The deletion caused a red link in Rail transport in Iceland#Kárahnjúkar light railway. I made a temporary fix. Peter Horn User talk 17:36, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- You're not going about this in the correct way. You shouldn't have created a Talk page of a non-existent article. I don't much care about the redlink in the other article. That has nothing to do with whether the article should be deleted. However, if you wish to work on the article to bring it up to par, I can move it to your userspace or to draft space. Let me know.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:42, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Please move it to draft space and if possible provide me with the deleted text. Peter Horn User talk 18:47, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Done --Bbb23 (talk) 19:21, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Please move it to draft space and if possible provide me with the deleted text. Peter Horn User talk 18:47, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher)There's a template, {{ill}}, to use for the temporary fix of making a redlink in English wiki while linking to de wiki. I've used it in the article. PamD 21:42, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
User:ChaoticKappa
Hi Bbb23. Just a courtesy note to let you know I've unblocked this user; their explanation checks out. Additionally, it appears that the en-wiki domain is now barred on Bugmenot, so this issue should not arise again in the future. Yunshui 水 12:01, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Athikkadai
Hi, Bbb23. Could you help me with an IP account? It is about 83.110.220.113, which has been spamming the Athikkadai article for a long time. Me and Marquardtika have been reversing him, but he does not give up. I await your response, thanks in advance. Super Ψ Dro 13:35, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- You haven't warned the IP. Nor have you taken the issue to the article Talk page. Regardless of the lack of quality of their edits, don't you think you ought to at least try to talk to them before asking for administrative action?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:39, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- Done, and he has not stopped. Super Ψ Dro 07:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
SPI close
So... that's it? - WOLFchild 21:47, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, but you can refile if the IP resumes editing.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:52, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- This parricular user is using this IP account much like a registered account. In fact several editors have suggested they register. They have used alternate IP addresses before to give the impression of others supporting their edits during disputes. This has also been noticed and commented on by another admin. After this latest instance, along with a 7RR-in-one-hour edit war, with 2 IP addresses, I figured enough was enough. I filed at 3RRNB and it was suggested I file an SPI as well. Kind of frustrating... all that effort for nothing. - WOLFchild 23:23, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Corageon1
I had a feeling this would be the case but you might be interested in this. Perhaps a merge and some denial? :P CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:07, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Dunno about the denial, but a merge yes. Good for the IP and for you. I'll request the merge.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:19, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
User:Icandothisonmyown
Hey, I'm just trying to figure out what happened with my SPI regarding User:Icandothisonmyown. It looks like you deleted it, but your deletion message mentioned a merge—did this get merged into another SPI? Thanks, IagoQnsi (talk) 14:55, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- No, the account belongs to a master who already has a case, and I decided that a merge for one blocked account was unnecessary.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:56, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Sock
Hi Bbb23. This account was created just hours after the last SPI on VJ-Yugo was closed. Their username, like in the case of VJ-Yugo and some of the blocked socks, contains military terms ("army"), and they are removing Albanian names of some settlements outside Albania, sth countiuosly done by VJ-Yugo (examples: ; ; ; ; ). Furthermore, Rotor is editing a great variety of topics (unusual of newbies), a trick VJ-Yugo has tried to make use of before. Since you said in the last SPI that a CU is not needed for every new sock of VJ-Yugo, is CU needed in this case? Ktrimi991 (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Active little bugger, isn't he? CU-blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks Bbb23. Yep, he is trying to escape detection but can not figure out how to do it. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 11:35, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Small request
Hi. Could you please semi-protect User talk:CommotioCerebri for the long-term, so the redirect is not removed by IP's (who I suspect are the user)? I have locked that account, and the one it was renamed to, but I’m not allowed to use my superpowers for this purpose. Cheers. Green Giant (talk) 19:41, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Green Giant: Ooh, I get to do something for you for a change. Done for six months. If that's not long enough, let me know.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:25, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Cheers, much obliged. That should dissuade the user. Green Giant (talk) 20:30, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Vidal 1077
Thanks for the help. Is there a SPI report? Vidal 1077 is a very strange account that I've repeatedly encountered while cleaning up poor refs, which I wrote up at ANI. --Ronz (talk) 00:13, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- No report. There's no need to file one unless you want to "for the record".--Bbb23 (talk) 00:15, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- I wanted to know if other editors and ip's were found, or even looked for. --Ronz (talk) 01:38, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- Only the two accounts. I can't comment on IPs.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:55, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- Very strange. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 03:05, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

User:De la lombertie
Hello Bbb23, thank you again for your continuing work at SPI, it is appreciated. Could you re-look at the accounts in your close of Raymondskie99? While the IPs were indeed stale, the sock-puppets User:Loopy30isgay and User:Delanlay 69 should actually be associated with a different sock master, De la lombertie. Thanks, Loopy30 (talk) 21:21, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- There is no relationship between De la lombertie and Raymondskie99, and the two accounts I blocked were without question operated by Raymondskie99. The reason Loopy30isgay attacked the De la lombertie SPI was because of you.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:07, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Littlemixfan! IPsock
IPsock Special:Contributions/59.100.215.150 geolocated to Australia. Continuing edit after August 2017 block. See here and here. Soft pop (talk) 16:09, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- The IP is remains possibly inactive. Soft pop (talk) 05:00, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- Also, filing an SPI means that you're not relying on one CheckUser, all CheckUsers would then see it and it's likely to be dealt with quicker.
- In this case I've raised the SPI for you and I've requested CheckUser evidence as I'm assuming that's what you would have done if you had raised the SPI yourself. I've also blocked the IP you mentioned above. I've also tagged you in the SPI that I raised so you can see what happens with it, add any additional evidence you might have etc, but just in case the tag doesn't work, you can find it here--5 albert square (talk) 22:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Lokesh1699
Looks like a checkuser comment may be needed at User talk:Lokesh1699. The blocked editor is claiming that there is no relationship with two other accounts that have made substantially the same edits. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:46, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Mike Pompeo
Hi Bbb23 I was trying to make it like this https://en.wikipedia.org/Rex_Tillerson#Nomination_and_confirmation If you know how to do it that would be great. Thanks:96.36.68.29 (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- I think it's premature to add it until there's something to put in it.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:15, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- I did put it. the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Voted 10-996.36.68.29 (talk) 23:25, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hehe, with the mess you made of it (no offense), I couldn't tell. I actually didn't know the Committee voted until just a moment ago. I think the vote, though, was 11-10, although it unfolded procedurally in a rather unusual way. In any case, if an editor wants to put it in and properly source it, fine. I don't feel like doing it, honestly.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:31, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) According to this, it was 11-9 (with one Democrat voting "present"). --MelanieN (talk) 00:23, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23 some users are saying we are in an edit war I watch C-SPAN every day here is what it say and you can read it and watch the whole video to your self
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Meeting on Mike Pompeo Nomination The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a meeting to vote on the president’s secretary of State nominee, current CIA Director Mike Pompeo. The Committee initially voted 11-10 to support the nomination. However, Senator Isakson’s (R-GA) vote was by proxy and by Senate rules could not be used to move a nomination to the floor. After some discussion, Senator Coons (D-DE), who opposed the nomination was recorded as voting no, voted present to allow the nomination to go forward by a vote of 10-9.

Thanks:96.36.68.29 (talk) 02:17, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- The vote was 11-9. Senator Isakson's proxy vote did count. But per Senate rules, a proxy vote can't be THE vote that makes the difference. Once it was no longer the deciding vote, it counted. BTW it's interesting to see all the amazement in Washington that a senator would do something nice for a fellow senator as Coons did. The nomination was going to be approved anyhow, but it would have required Isakson to jump on a plane and fly to Washington that night. And yet in today's partisan atmosphere, it seems to be astonishing to the PTB to see a courteous gesture like this to a member of the other party. --MelanieN (talk) 03:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Lord & Taylor
As you are most familiar with the activity of LTA / sockpuppetry on this page, I would appreciate if you would look at recent history. It looks like the same old stuff here, and I know what I am seeing, but I don't want to get myself into trouble here. Many thanks in advance! Scr★pIron 13:11, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- I can't comment on IPs. If you think the IPs (the range) is a sock, please take it to SPI.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:50, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you; I have done so. Have a great day! Scr★pIron 14:32, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Deletion of Paani Foundation
Hey, Why did you delete the page I created about the NGO Paani Foundation. It is important to convey about this organization as it is involved in public outreach to a huge audience across a big state in India. Please reinstate the page - by Paradoxs (talk) 16:38, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Paradoxs: I restored the article and re-deleted it based on g7, g11, and g12 (copyright violation). It's nothing but an ad for a non-notable organization. Copyright is taken seriously at Misplaced Pages, and if you violate copyright again, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Adjustments were made
I did make adjustments to my comment. It seems you did not even read what you were reverting and just acted upon Capital00's orders. What attack did you see in the following text? Don't you think you are overreacting?
As for Mblaze Lightning's supportive comment is concerned, there is no substance in it, saying "Yeah it's him" and putting a megaphone next to it does not make him, him. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 18:37, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- It's unnecessary to make the comment regarding the other editor. So, don't.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:41, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- Read it again, it’s not about the other editor, it’s about his supportive comment. Who is talking about the editor? All I am saying is that there is no substance in his comment. I never said there is no substance in him. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 18:47, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Draft: Bhurit Bhirombhakdi
Bananabacon (talk) 02:55, 25 April 2018 (UTC) Hi Bbb23, I need help about submitting for reviewing AFC process. At the moment, I have a draft version of https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Bhurit_Bhirombhakdi and I would like to send this draft to review by AFC process before the article publish. So, How can I submit this article?
Thank you
Belligerence
Hey, you asked me not to use the word "belligerence" , can you cite a policy or point me to the list of prohibited words which contains "belligerence" as one of them?
You are kind of putting curbs on my freedom of expression by these maneuvers. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 15:17, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, and I'm going to put a further "curb". I'm reverting your last edit and I don't want to see you post any more to that SPI. You've made a few good points despite some of the language, but at this point you're being disruptive.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:42, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
