Sockpuppet has returned

Hello, I just thought I'd let you know that a sockpuppet has returned, and is editing articles in Quranism, Alexander Skarsgård and Cynthia Rothrock again. I'm informing you on your page, as you previously dealt with this individual, and I didn't want to engage in an edit war. The sockpuppet that was editing in the Cynthia Rothrock article was EnigmaticStale, who was blocked. This new sockpuppet account is MonkeyKing73619 and the IP address 148.252.144.218, which was partially blocked before. Dsaun100 (talk) 12:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There were a bunch of socks and sleepers, all blocked now: RepoMan73619, TheRunningMan8261, MightyWaysss, MusicalGeniuses, MonkeyKing73619, Phantomia837 and ShaolinMasta.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My heart was sinking...

At the prospect of 3rr or Admin noticeboard report! It's not easy on a mobile. Thank you. Knitsey (talk) 20:33, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing like someone obviously in the wrong calling the other guy a dumbass. Looks like they talked themselves into an indef care of The Professor.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:47, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don't think people should talk like that, yes. Professor--well, seven more years, Ponyo, unless I win the lottery first. Drmies (talk) 20:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People have been talking like that to me for days; the trolls have been nastier than usual. Water off a duck's back!-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:54, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lemme at 'em. Knitsey (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ponyo, I want Knitsey to be an admin, but I'm going to pronounce the "k" every time I see her name. Drmies (talk) 21:04, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's one way to get me off someone's talk page. Knitsey (talk) 21:07, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But we kneed you! Drmies (talk) 21:13, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kuck off. Am I blocked now? Knitsey (talk) 21:18, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that escalated quickly. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 22:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'm worried that Drmies is sat in a corner crying. I went too far didn't I. Knitsey (talk) 22:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, it's pretty much the same reply I give whenever anyone suggests I throw my hat in the ring for Arbcom.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should do though. Knitsey (talk) 22:43, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kno way, kno how, Knitsey.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:45, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pfft. Touché Knitsey (talk) 22:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I always get terrified if I ever were to drop the F-bomb on Wikipedia. I keep thinking that the site is elementary school and the administrators are teachers, because back in my day, if you were to say the F-bomb, you would be considered a legend (but at the same time you might get sent to the principal's office).NoobThreePointOh (talk) 22:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I swore at my dog last week.

Then spent an hour telling her I was sorry and that she was a good girl, a very good girl. Knitsey (talk) 22:56, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch. Hope you reconciled with her. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 23:01, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She has been giving me the side-eye since then. Knitsey (talk) 23:07, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correctly The Smurfs Movie

Hi Ponyo, can you do me a favour, please? When I put correctly in The Smurfs Movie, the genre and the release date but someone put unsourced cite, and it's vandalism, can you correctly please? 173.177.20.244 (talk) 02:19, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I need you to do me a favour first: stop socking.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:28, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-41

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration. [1]

Updates for editors

Translators in wikis where the mobile experience of Content Translation is available, can now customize their articles suggestion list from 41 filtering options when using the tool. This topic-based article suggestion feature makes it easy for translators to self-discover relevant articles based on their area of interest and translate them. You can try it with your mobile device. [2]
View all 12 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

It is now possible for <syntaxhighlight> code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if the copy=1 attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [3]
Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [4]
Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools Gerrit and GitLab to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping. Clients that open too many concurrent connections will be restricted for a few minutes. This rate limiting is managed through nftables firewall rules. For more details, see Wikitech's pages on Firewall, GitLab limits and Gerrit operations.
Five new wikis have been created:
- a Wikipedia in Komering (w:kge:) [5]
- a Wikipedia in Mooré (m:mos:) [6]
- a Wiktionary in Madurese (wikt:mad:) [7]
- a Wikiquote in Gorontalo (q:gor:) [8]
- a Wikinews in Shan (n:shn:) [9]

I was doing the same but you got there first! Doug Weller talk 19:02, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm rarely first at anything these days, so I'll take it!-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:03, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Laundry

Thanks for figuring out Ditestic. In the blocklog, you mentioned "User: User:TotalTruthTeller24"; is it actually "User:TotalTruthTeller24"? DMacks (talk) 17:40, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the double user was just a typo.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We're having trouble with our dryer this morning; is this where we come to get it fixed? Maybe we shouldn't be drying socks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:09, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do throw the socks in the laundry. You know fewer will come out than what you put in!-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:30, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But they're throwaway socks. BTW, the problem we're having is the vent is, um, blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:35, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I actually don't know if clothes shrink in the dryer or washer. On one hand, I assume it's the washer because everybody says it, but on the other, I think they shrink in the dryer because the lint usually gets caught in the lint trap. To this day, it's still a mystery in my mind. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:33, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you serious? The dryer at my house doesn't even dry my clothes properly, even after putting it for a 70-minute timed dry, which means I have to do another cycle. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:23, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even if it doesn't dry at all, your dryer could have other uses, such as music[10]. DMacks (talk) 18:49, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I would love to have a laundry machine that could play lots of tunes. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:55, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was a Sesame Street segment about laundry, where the characters danced around a washing maching singing "Do the Wash". DMacks (talk) 22:35, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abusive IP

Thanks for blocking, I'd suggest revdel for the edit summary at Gossip Girl per RD2. AusLondonder (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops, don't know how I missed that. Done now!-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:19, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that! AusLondonder (talk) 23:28, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Potential sockpuppets

Whatever this is, it belongs at SPI-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:24, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ponyo! I may be wrong about this, but I'm almost 100% sure that HurricaneMilton2024 (talk · contribs) and HurricaneKirk2024 (talk · contribs) are the same person. The former only has one edit, but the naming convention is exactly the same. Apologies if this is the wrong place to report this! :) Sir MemeGod  14:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to say this, but HurricaneMilton2024 and HurricaneKirk2024, me, are not the same person. We probably live in different countries. Ask HurricaneMilton2024 for confirmation. HurricaneMilton2024 did probably use the exactly same naming thing, and the name might have been inspired by my name. Please, for I do not own any alternate accounts. Ask the scratcher [[11]], aka me, for more information about HurricaneMilton2024, the fraudulent person, and HurricaneKirk2024, myself. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 18:18, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

^{Hurricane-ception} Babysharkboss2!! ^{(Trout me, pull the trigger.)} 18:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

was it you? HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 18:20, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not own any circumstances of @HurricaneMilton2024. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 18:24, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneMilton2024* HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 18:25, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What? No, I am not "HurricaneMilton2024" if that is what your asking. I'm just a Talk Page stalker trying to inject humor into this situation by referencing popular culture. Babysharkboss2!! ^{(Trout me, pull the trigger.)} 18:26, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

😐 I realized what you said HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 18:27, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Smatteo499

Hi! I'm an user from it.wiki (and I don't speak English very well). Thank you for the protection of my user talk, he is a vandal on it.wiki, but when administrators block him, he comes here... Thank you, bye bye! :) Smatteo499 (talk) 15:24, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fayetteville, Arkansas edits

Hello,

Please stop removing relevant information on the Sports section of Fayetteville, Arkansas' page. If you continue doing so, further action will be taken. Afcnwa (talk) 19:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You continue to edit war to restore unsourced content that has no demonstrated relevance to the article. You are the one running afoul of our policies and guidelines, so if any further action is taken I have no concerns that it will be against me.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi Ponyo, do you remember who RedParrot is? You CU-blocked them in July and they were locked in August for long-term abuse. Thanks. C F A 💬 14:39, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CFA: see this SPI.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification on 10-10-24 SPI on myself

When is my SPI going to be closed? If you are not the person I should contact, then contact the person I should contact. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 04:04, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I left a talk page message on Bbb23 talk page. Got no response, and just found out, he’s on vacation till the 1st of November (so I likely won’t hear back from him anytime soon); have since pinged Ponyo over to that discussion. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 06:39, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's been closed now.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:46, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Offer to block still good?

You might want to take a look at User talk:Sdfghuij where you noted BLP violations and said they would be blocked if it continued. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:19, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bri: I've blocked them for vote stacking at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss Teen USA 2004.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
