Hi. I think {{IP|217.149.166.67}} is {{IP|217.149.166.11}} evading his ban. Could you please have a look as an enforcing admin? Thank you. ]] 09:53, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring accusation

User:Underthemayofan is now blocked indef for undisclosed COI. EdJohnston (talk) 22:19, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

I believe the edit warring accusation aimed against me was not fair. Do I have any recourse to an appeal, or can I request further explanation?--Underthemayofan (talk) 05:49, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Your best plan is to follow the steps of WP:Dispute resolution. You will be able to get changes made to the article if you are able to persuade the other users that your material is better. EdJohnston (talk) 15:17, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
They are still reverting despite the lack of any consensus. This is a behavioral problem—with Underthemayofan, seeing only those comments which he interprets as supporting his edits and ignoring the rest—and a page-block will probably do good. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:51, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
I've now blocked Underthemayofan 48 hours for continuing to revert. EdJohnston (talk) 16:51, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
That user is now blocked indef by another admin for undisclosed COI, per ticket:2021122810008593. EdJohnston (talk) 22:19, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I need help with an user that's constantly engaged in edit wars and I don't know how to act.

It's in the page Climate of Greece. I have filled the proper report already in the Administrator's Noticeboard but it seems after all kinds of warnings (even admin issued ones) this user doesn't change his disruptive behavior. In this case, he first made an edit without any kind of source, after I've recalled him for that, he inserted a random source in Greek that doesn't back up anything he claims. I've inserted the official Hellenic National Meteorological Service Greek Climate Atlas map and he ignored that official source putting again his source that doesn't even back up anything he says. Now he says that's "content dispute" but isn't this disruptive editing? He also broke the WP:3RR even if I warned him several times today. --TechnicianGB (talk) 13:01, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

See a recent AN3 case for how this ended up. Since Weatherextremes is now blocked three months I don't plan to look into the dispute further. EdJohnston (talk) 16:23, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Rogue "Mosquito Coast" guy is back

Hi Ed, belated happy New Year. This guy just won't give up. The latest socks are BTGOG12 and IP 186.77.132.0. Carlstak (talk) 04:05, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

I've now blocked BTGOG12 (talk · contribs) indefinitely and 186.77.132.0 (talk · contribs) two months for sockpuppetry. This edit to George Frederic Augustus I was sourced to Lulu Press, a vanity press. The edit even produced a self-published tag in the edit history! EdJohnston (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, Ed. Yes, I saw that tag, it was new to me as well, and I think it's great.;-) Carlstak (talk) 22:08, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Can User Khan Bababa's edits be removed?

Can you restore the Bajaur Campaign page back to my version, cause my source clearly states 1,000 rather then what he is posting, there was also U.S and soviet involvement, and even in the talk page provided I showed him where to check, but he has ignored this. The page was protected for 1 week in turn of this, but its access was only listed to Misplaced Pages administrators only, could you restore it back to my version? Noorullah21 (talk) 16:51, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

The page protection was by User:Amortias. See if they are inclined to roll back the changes. But in the mean time, you could give a clearer explanation at Talk:Bajaur Campaign of the changes you want to make. EdJohnston (talk) 21:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
Per WP:WRONG I protected it on the current version. Chuck an edit request on the talk page and drop a message here when its been done so we can make sure were ticking all the boxes. If its as obvious a request as I'd hope the turn around should be fairly quick. Amortias (T)(C) 21:54, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

vandalism by PolishBoyInUK and her puppets

From 8 januar 2022 he vandalizes and trolls "PolishBoyInUK" again. His "creativity" is only harmfulness and poisonous deep vandalism. Can't such imbeciles be finally blocked? 2A01:C23:903A:8800:6161:BBB6:7C36:39FF (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

I've proposed a one-year block of the 82.25 editor. I can't quite figure him out. He works on a lot of Polish topics making changes that are hard to understand, and the changes usually get reverted. If you notice any articles that deserve semi-protection, let me know. EdJohnston (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
IP now blocked six months. EdJohnston (talk) 05:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

User:Rgalo10

Any way you could block 64.251.32.252 and 174.197.128.0/20, perhaps? Much appreciated, thanks! wizzito | say hello! 06:24, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Blocked Special:Contributions/174.197.128.0/20 for two months. EdJohnston (talk) 15:29, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Bengaliwikipro/Archive

Hi Ed, yesterday I blocked Miller110 as a suspected sock of Bengaliwikipro. The topic area (caste warring), article intersection, and username similarity (see Safron710 and others) were the basis for my block. The user is screaming bloody murder, which, as far as I can tell, is not typical of Bengaliwikipro socks, but it's also been a while since any was blocked.

Now at ANEW, TrangaBellam, who filed the original SPI report, says that another user, Satnam2408, is reinstating Miller110's edits. Satnam2408's username is also similar to other socks (e.g., Josua4533), but they are different in other ways. First, they've been around a long time, including in August 2021 when you ran your checks but did not uncover them. Second, they seemingly had a disagreement with a sock, Sourav431, back in June 2021.

I was hoping that you could check both accounts. Obviously, they can be checked against each other, and I don't know about UA information, but the CU logs from August might be helpful in connecting one or both to the confirmed socks. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:54, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

I'll try to work on this Wednesday. Still have some notes from the CU work last August and will see if they suggest anything. EdJohnston (talk) 05:48, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
See my results at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Bengaliwikipro. No technical evidence against Satnam2408. EdJohnston (talk) 19:35, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks a lot, Ed.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:33, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

A ridiculous cat

Information icon Please excuse my erroneous edit, likely a mistaken rollback or revert caused by my fat fingers, hypnagogia, or one of my ridiculous cats. I have likely self reverted or noticed the mistake after you corrected it. Again, my apologies. Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:57, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

It's Taharka155 and me again

Hi Ed, I'm not sure whether to take this to you or to ANI. In December, you blocked Taharka155 (talk · contribs) following my complaint at User_talk:EdJohnston/Archive_52#It's_African_Americans,_Taharka155,_and_me_again. After that, we had no interaction except for one edit at my talk page by them which I reverted. Today they made this edit to my talk page and these edits at Talk:African Americans comparing me ("a white German man" - that's clearly me) to David Duke of the KKK. Can't really say that I'm happy that they no longer compare me to Hitler.

@Taharka155: Pinging them. --Rsk6400 (talk) 15:53, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Left a note for Taharka155. EdJohnston (talk) 16:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
