I don't think it matters much if they're a paid editor. They've got just over 50 edits and pretty much all of them are either direct personal attacks, in contravention of arbitration sanctions regarding the Israel / Palestine conflict or both. I don't think they'll be around for long. Simonm223 (talk) 13:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Also a non-trivial number of deleted edits of a clearly promotional nature. --Yamla (talk) 13:50, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

UTRS appeal #97655

Would you like to tackle this one? You might want to check on the assertions of off Wiki co-ordianation by others, -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:53, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I'll grab it and take a look later this afternoon. --Yamla (talk) 18:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

The CU evidence is strikingly clear. Let's see how she responds. I tried hard not to make anything a trick question. --Yamla (talk) 22:51, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Continued issues from KindHorta

Hi Yamla,

Sorry to bother you with this, but wanted to lyk @KindHorta has been hounding me (in addition to leaving transphobic forumy comments and pledging to edit a page in a WP:PROFRINGE way). I left him a message on his talk page pinging you, which he characteristically blanked, so I'm letting you know here with a link to the pre-blanked copy of the page and discussion there. I'd report at ANI or something, but given the IPs/sockpuppeting considerations which you're already aware of, I thought this made more sense. There's been years of homophobic/transphobic/downright weird problematic editing by this guy, think it's a straightforward WP:NOTHERE.

I'm not the right admin to tackle that, it would be better if another admin took action. That way, it's clear that it's more of a community thing rather than just a single admin targeting that user. --Yamla (talk) 00:36, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Sock?

Hello, Yamla,

After the new editor attempted to recall me, I looked at the date they mentioned (Oct. 8, 2023) and I did soft redirects from 3 alternative user pages for User:Alpoin117 after that user page was deleted. That is what we do when editors delete their User page and so a User page from Meta shows up in its place. But it doesn't look like this editor has been socking recently and I don't know why they would hold this grudge for other a year when my actions had nothing to do with them being blocked. Thanks for dealing with this. Liz 23:54, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm very, very sure they are a sock of someone. I suspect some sort of LTA, though, rather than Alpoin117. I'd be surprised if Alpoin117 had kept up to date enough to know about the admin recall process. --Yamla (talk) 00:01, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, then I'm mystified at why I was targeted. But every time I try to understand sock behavior when I participate in a SPI case, I am told that I'm wasting my time and to just shrug my shoulders and move on. Liz 04:02, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

The ways of the trolls are mysterious and pointless. --Yamla (talk) 10:55, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
