== The Aftermath of ]'s Block ==
==Another sockpuppet==

Vagrdyuy9's sock ] (]) 12:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
Good afternoon, Favonian.
:{{user-blocked}} – ] (]) 12:23, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

I have recently come across a help request for a user you have blocked. Ten minutes after seeing a user reply to the IP user's help me template request, xe reverted the response with snarky comments. I have spoken to an administrator on IRC, who is considering revoking talk page access. I thought I might keep you informed about this matter. Please leave me a talk back (preferably) or ping me if you need me. --] (]) 22:03, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

:{{ping|JustBerry}} The latest outburst was quite in line with the general battleground attitude, which was a contributing factor in my decision to put my admin foot down and block. I did weigh the BLP aspect, and a more conciliatory attitude from the IP might have swayed me towards a less drastic response. Revocation of talk page privileges seems a likely outcome at this point. It's now past midnight in my time zone, so I'm calling it a day. Best regards, ] (]) 22:11, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

::{{ping|:Favonian}} Thank you for your swift reply. I understand it is late in your time zone; therefore, I will contact another administrator if substantial action is needed. For now, goodnight! {{smiley}} --] (]) 22:14, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

== Request for comment ==

Hello there, a proposal regarding pre-adminship review has been raised at Village pump by {{noping|Anna Frodesiak}}. Your comments ] is very much appreciated. Many thanks. ] through ] (]) 06:47, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

== Sonici ==

You were the first to block {{user|Sonici}} - I took him to ] this am, no one has commented. ] (]) 17:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

:Enough is enough! I've blocked them indefinitely per ]. Some pretty convincing arguments will have to be provided before they are unblocked. ] (]) 17:45, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

::Thanks. I agree but at this point I wanted someone less involved. ] (]) 18:04, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

== Block of Akocsg ==

Hi Favonian. I think the apparent sock of Akocsg was an impersonator of him which was not created by him. I have an idea who the master might be but per DNFTT I prefer to email the name to you, if you wish. Please ].

== Requesting Zidane page protection ==
Hi there Favonian. The ] article is repeatedly vandallized by ip users and new users, its tiresome having to constantly check it. The article was fine until the last protection ended. The article itself is busy and it's only going to get worse with the World Cup. Im requesting a more permanent protection (perhaps a Pending changes protection). Thanks. ] (]) 10:01, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
:I opted for pending changes; let's see how that works. By the way, requesting protection at ] would probably have produced a quicker response. ] (]) 18:50, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

== Thank you for your support ==

Favonian, I would like to take this moment and thank you for the trust you had placed in me and for your support in my RfA that happened a while ago. Although it didn't turn out as I had planned, I certainly appreciated all the comments and suggestions given by you and other people. I will learn from all of them and will hopefully run again someday when I'm fully ready. Thank you. ] (]) 13:17, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
:You're welcome! I'm sure your next RfA will fare better. ] (]) 14:20, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

==Jaguar XF==
*That guy is me. The car is very clearly visible in the photograph, and the photograph has been on the page for some time. Please leave it alone once I return it to the page. It is the only picture of a 2012 Jaguar XF Sportbrake on Misplaced Pages. Thanks, and go with God. <span style="font-family: Script MT Bold"><span style="color:#800080">'''Lord Laitinen''' (])</span></span> 16:32, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
:We really don't need pictures of you in our articles, and you already seem to be in trouble for edit warring. ] (]) 16:34, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
*I am not "in trouble" for anything. Another picture of mine was erased by some IP user, and then someone else joined in. I have already taken care of the problem. P.S. - Misplaced Pages could ALWAYS use more pictures, especially of something it has no pictures of. <span style="font-family: Script MT Bold"><span style="color:#800080">'''Lord Laitinen''' (])</span></span> 16:41, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

== Mikemikev sock ==

Any suggestions as to what to do about these? I'm inclined to at least semi-protect Maunus's talk page. I don't know if we can ask for a range block. ] (]) 08:27, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
:I agree that semi-protection is in order at this point. A range block would probably have to be done by a CU – too much SNAFU potential for me to do it. As far as I can tell from the SPI archives, substantial ranges (/16) have been blocked in the past. ] (]) 11:07, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
::I was told that the new IPs are too widespread for a range block. Is there a template for article talk pages to redirect to a subpage for IPs? I'm sure that's what is done when things get really bad. ] (]) 18:14, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
:::It ''is'' the standard operating procedure, and so there really should be a template to guide the bellowing herds of IP editors to the open sub-page, but I haven't been able to locate one. Guess a bit of well-crafted and -formatted prose at the top of the protected talk page will have to do. ] (]) 18:49, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting me, my rollback was unintentional and I had no idea that I had done it.] (]) 18:40, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
:No problem! Same thing happens to me with worrying frequency. ] (]) 18:42, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

== Sock of an indef banned user ==

Hello Favonian, you may remember ] who was indef banned by you. Well, he had returned a few times as IP but now he has made an account, ] (see: ]). Its the same old edits where he removes sourced historical content and replaces with a text preending Macedonia was never part of Yugoslavia. He has been also creating a lot of seasonal artcles with absolute no source, and that is another major problem. ] (]) 16:54, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

:No role model for constructive editors, I agree, but are you sure it's the same guy? That region has an inexhaustible supply of "enthusiasts". I'll try and keep an eye on his activities. ] (]) 17:03, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
::Hmm, the more I look at the edit histories, the more I'm inclined to agree with you. Let me mull it over a little longer. ] (]) 17:27, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

:::Its him, that article ] is not much edited, and only he tries allways the same things: ignoring Yugoslavia, pretending some sort of independent vice-kingdom of Macedonia, then atributing old titles of disbanded clubs to current teams, and edits like this one: which leave me no doubts its him. ] (]) 17:49, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

::::Yep, I'm convinced. Laxer is off to the drawer. ] (]) 17:55, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

:::::Many thanks. I´ll try to see if I can find sources for the articles he created, if not, I´ll ask the WP:FOOTY community to help me. Regarding him, if he returns I´ll let you know. Best regards, ] (]) 04:17, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

== Edit revision ==

Hi, thanks for reverting on ] article as of a revision I reverted it the correct way. If you see ] user was inserting false information and removing content from pages, just block him if he did it the last time. --{{User:AllenHAcNguyen/Signature}} ''00:36, 14 June 2014 (UTC)''

:I just simply want to revert their edits that was vandalism or if you want, then do it and I make it a correct way to fix it. --] <sup>]</sup> 17:59, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

== Seven the General deletion ==

I noticed you had deleted the ] page and I thought you should know that it was recreated under the name ]. ] (]) 13:02, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

:Thanks! Looks like it already joined its predecessors. What utterly pointless persistence. ] (]) 14:16, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
==SPI==
Many thanks for your continued vigilance with various puppeteers. Can I ask for a favour, can you take a quick look at ] and make sure I have set the defaults correctly? Many thanks. ] (]) 19:03, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah, that looks like fowl alright. Commented at the SPI – and whacked yet another Kauffner sock. Good heavens! ] (]) 16:46, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

== Thanks for lifting the ban for 188.238.14.238 ==

I just wan`t you to know, have nothing to do with any kind of harrasment. I just signed here few days ago to correct some errors conserning articles "sivuventtiilimoottori" and its english equivalent "flathead engine".

Thanks again, hope the harrasment ends.

] (]) 16:38, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

:My pleasure, and happy editing! Incidentally, your (wise) decision to create an account enables you to go on editing in case the range block gets reinstated, as it only affects anonymous editing. ] (]) 16:42, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

== Seventhegeneral redux ==
Hello Favonian I was instructed by another editor to create this account with my real name. If proof of my identity is need please feel free to contact me. The username I was using was Seventhegeneral yet, I am NOT the person known as Seven the General. The article i was attempting to write I was still working on, My issue was that I didn't know the forum had real editors here, i thought you were trolling me, as a simple user who knew how to use the forum! Lasty, i apologize for any misunderstanding or confusion i may have caused as I thought i was doing things correct. I have since studied the policies and the neutral point of views need along with the proper citations. I believe I now have corrected my errors and I wish to unblock the topic for the chance to show that I understand the forum as well as my wrong doings.

Respectfully,

== Childish vandalism by obviously connected accounts and an IP ==

Hello. I'd appreciate if you took a quick look at the contributions of these obviously connected users: {{IP|217.230.73.89}}, {{user|Yourname1}}, {{user|Your_Mother123987}} and {{user|KKppYYmmOO}}, because I'm tired of their childish vandalism (vandalism that makes it clear that it's a case of ]). Exemplified by and edit on ], repeatedly changing the names of the villages of ''Langscheid'' and ''Stockum'' to ''Lange scheide'' ("long/deep vagina") and ''Stock dumm'' ("dumb as a log"). The IP geolocates to the same part of Germany as the subject of the article they have vandalised, showing that it's a bunch of local kids. Yourname1 has returned three times now since the 16th, making the same kind of silly edits each time, while the others were only active on the 16th and haven't been seen since. ] ] 18:08, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

:Jeez! This is one of the times I wished I didn't understand German. Blocked the named accounts indef; as for the IP, either he's moved on or it will be hit by the auto-block. ] (]) 18:16, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
::Thanks. Being multilingual helps a lot when looking for vandalism, so don't wish you didn't know German. If I hadn't known German I might have thought that those edits were correct, or at least made in good faith. But since I do, they didn't get away with it. ] ] 19:34, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

== Another problem editor ==

Hello. Please take a look at the contributions of {{user|123et4}}, a user who seems to have a very poor grasp of English, but still insists on adding home-made "translations" to various articles about weapons (such as these: , , , ), in spite of repeated requests for them to stop (see user's talk page). The way the user just carries on with the disruptive editing, without engaging in a discussion about it, also seems to indicate a competence problem, in addition to their poor English. And it's not a case of not knowing that they have a talk page, because the difference between diff #1 and diff #2 clearly shows that they have read my first message to them. ] ] 14:26, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

:Definite ] issues. but the terminology in this belligerent field doesn't make life easy for international editors. This one seems to have stopped after the latest warning, but I'll keep an eye on the case and do what's necessary, should it become necessary. ] (]) 16:09, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

== Requesting Maradona page protection ==

Hi Favonian. The ] article is repeatedly vandallized by ip users and new users messing around, so I'm requesting Pending changes protection for the article. Thanks again. ] (]) 14:25, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

== John Marshall High School (Los Angeles) ==

I undid your revert of ]'s edit to ]. I have no issue with your block, but his last edit to this article seemed to be returning the article to what the school's official website says . Without another source to say the principal has changed, I think we have to leave it. ] (]) 18:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Would you be interested in protecting "''List of Turkic dynasties and countries''", there appear to be about 4 IPs(most likely logged out users) and a "new user"(user:1sasdasd, most likely a sock) that continue to revert other editors after adding ] to the article.
