Creating user right rollbacker at el.wiki

Hi Sotiale, this is FocalPoint from el-wiki and el-wikt. I saw that you assisted Sarri.greek on behalf of el-wikt for the rollbackers. I would appreciated if you could do the same for el-wiki. The discussion was done here from 4 to 12 July, were consensus has been reached to activate the user right. --FocalPoint (talk) 07:22, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

@FocalPoint: Good to see you :D Thanks for the message to me. Because I don't know Greek, was there any oppose opinion? If so, I wonder if it has been discussed enough. If I submit a request and someone claims that there was no consensus in the middle, this puts me in a very difficult situation. So I would like to ask you again if consensus has formed. Thank you for answer :) --Sotiale (talk) 08:30, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Nice to be here Sotiale :) Consensus has been declared already since July 8 from another admin. We just waited for 8 days to go through on my suggestion. There was no oppose opinion. PS: You can see that the discussion continues as we have to settle on the proper translation in Greek (LOL) and practical issues as who will recommend / apply and at which page. --FocalPoint (talk) 09:08, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Oh, good. I'll submit this request today. The function of the translator is very poor(/uh), but I hope that the discussion on the name will resolve well. --Sotiale (talk) 09:45, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

@FocalPoint: The request is at the code review stage now, and upon approval, it will be applied to elwiki site immediately. However, if it takes a long time, this approval will take a month. I will notify you immediately of any changes :D --Sotiale (talk) 09:44, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Site settings have been changed. From now on, your community can grant or revoke rollbackers. Congrats and have a good time :D --Sotiale (talk) 00:03, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Cross-wiki spam

Hi there! I've recently added a SG request (it will open in the edit of that particular request, sorry not sure how else to differentiate my edit) The article has been re-created across many wiki projects, which have been deleted by their respective admins by now (except for KO). As I've noticed you speak Korean, I was wondering if you probably help look into the request when you get a chance? It was already flagged as spam. It's no rush at all, but hope you can help look into it when you have some time as I'm not sure whether they have any active admins there. Thanks a lot. — Infogapp1 (talk) 17:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

UPDATE: Looks like they already took care of it, so please don't worry about the KO article anymore :) — Infogapp1 (talk) 20:24, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Oh, thank you for letting me know :) --Sotiale (talk) 02:00, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
No problem. I recognise you and other admins/stewards got so much on your plates, I owe it to you guys to update when something's already done so you can tick it off your lists :) Quick question: if an item is already deleted (say Wikidata), is there any archive of the history of who edited it at all? I'm asking because I wanted to gather diff evidence about a COI case, but since the item was already deleted, the links I had saved during my info gathering now result to 404. — Infogapp1 (talk) 22:26, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Sadly, if you want to know the editor of the deleted item, it should be in the deletion log summary or you should ask admin. --Sotiale (talk) 22:45, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for troubling you, please respond when you find a minute. This request asks for not typical signs and letters. Would I be in the right if I refused this request? Thank you! Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 16:35, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm busy these days and only handled requests with IRC, but I'll check your question soon. --Sotiale (talk) 13:58, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Sometimes happens, I recommend you consider whether this is actually easy to type on keyboard. Because they will ask to change the account name again when it is difficult to hit the keyboard. Even the unallocated characters can be easily typed on the keyboard. For example, a dot in Japanese. After many thoughts, it is your discretion to choose. --Sotiale (talk) 13:16, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

CheckUser of Luong Trung Minh@zhwiki

I apologize if any misunderstanding occurred, but not many people are interested in CU here on zhwiki, except for a few admins, me, MCC214 and a handful of users, which leads to the question of "if there's enough consensus". You were right, no oppose can be translated as "consensus" in some cases. Given the Great Firewall's block, sockpuppetry investigation has always been complicated in zhwiki, I thank you for your continous work to keep our community a better place. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 00:31, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I'm glad if my little help would benefit your community :D I don't think it's a big deal if there are few participants. The problem is, if within a day after the discussion begins, the request comes to SRCU, I feel burdened when there are not enough participants. Of course, if someone makes a request even though there is not enough consensus, the user who made the request should be the problem, but I can't avoid the mistake of not knowing the consensus properly. This is your freedom, but unless it is the case of well-known LTAs, I recommend that you post requests on SRCU after a period of more than a day. Of course it depends on the individual case, but it is just my wish :) --Sotiale (talk) 06:24, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

A question on IP blocked ranges

Hi, Sotiale! Sorry for bothering you but I was trying to recruit a few people to ku.wikt but apparently they can't create accounts due to the block on IP range 5.24.0.0/18 as well as other ranges. Shouldn't this blocks work in a way allowing people to create new accounts? Thank you! --Balyozxane (talk) 14:19, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

@Balyozxane: Hello. Sorry for the inconvenience of your project. The range was blocked due to the famous Polish wiki terror LTA. They do automated wiki attacks at a very high speed, and they attack on multiple projects. So I don't think unblock the global block is a good option. Global block basically prevents account creation, but I also don't have the ability to disable it in the interface.. :(
But there is way to choose from for your project. That is to exempt the global block from kuwikt only. Using this feature, you can unblock the range on kuwikt. However, please consider the risks to this. In my personal opinion, I don't think it will attack kuwikt, but if that happens you should be prepared to react. --Sotiale (talk) 14:32, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick reply! I disabled that block using the feature you mentioned and then enabled it again after the User created an account. Is IP block exemptions only granted by the stewards or can we, admins, give exemptions, as well? --Balyozxane (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
@Balyozxane: If your newcomers create an account and later reactivate the global block, users who already have an account will not be affected because the current global block is anonymous only. local IPBE flag can be granted to them by you(local admins), but in this case it is not necessary. You don't need to do anything other than revive the global block. Users who create new accounts are not affected as long as they log in to their account. --Sotiale (talk) 14:47, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Great! Thank you. Have a nice day :) --Balyozxane (talk) 14:49, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
@Balyozxane: No problem :D I hope the problem is solved well. Have a nice day! --Sotiale (talk) 14:51, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Abusive username

제게 말씀을 해주셔서 궁금증이 들였는데 SRG에서 abusive username 으로 들어오는 잠금 요청처럼 ko:백:계정 이름에 위배되는 (광고나 단체 계정 이외의, 한국어로 된 계정명과 영어를 포함한) 계정명을 가진 계정도 Lock 요청을 넣어도 되는 것인가요? --Gomdoli (talk) 02:26, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

SRG는 기본적으로 반드시 사무장이 행동을 취하여야 하는 계정들과 관련하여 요청할 경우 사용하는 공간입니다. 각 로컬위키의 계정명 정책은 모두 다른데, 한국어 위키백과의 정책을 근거로 전역계정 잠금(Global lock)을 요청한다는 것은 말이 안 되겠죠? 그러므로 한국어 위키백과 정책을 근거로 글로벌 잠금을 할 수는 없습니다. 게다가 한국어 위키백과에서 누군가 기록보호(Oversight)가 필요한 계정명을 만든 경우는, 사무장에게 요청하는게 아니라 로컬위키의 기록보호자(Oversighters)에게 기록보호를 요청해야 합니다. SRG에 보통 게시되어 처리되는 것들은 '위키간'(cross-wiki) LTA가 특정 사용자를 공격하거나 성적으로 희롱하는 경우, 그리고 누가 보더라도 특정 사용자를 성적으로 희롱하기 위한 경우, 또는 어느 기준으로 보더라도 폭력적인 계정명(나치, ~는 자살해라 등)에 해당할 경우입니다. 이건 모든 위키에서 어차피 사용자명을 숨기는 것이 적절하므로 사무장이 계정명을 전역으로 숨기는 것입니다. 언어를 불문합니다. 하지만 하나의 로컬위키에서만 활동하고 그러한 언어를 사용한 계정들은 위키간 장기 남용 사용자(cross-wiki LTA)가 아닌 이상 사무장이 아니라 로컬위키의 기록보호자에게 요청하는 것이 맞습니다. --Sotiale (talk) 03:10, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
그렇군요. 자세하게 답변해주셔서 감사합니다. 다음에 요청할 때 유의하겠습니다. --Gomdoli (talk) 03:20, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

編集するたびにノートふくめブロックされてしまいます。

私はAso789として、荒らしとみなされているようです。もっとも私はwikipediaの権威を貶めるようなことはしておらず。たしかに編集を始めた初期は不適切な編集（主に編集合戦）はありましたが、明らかなガイドライン違反はしておりません。しかし、荒らしの基準を十分満たしていないにも関わらず荒らしとされ、その後Bsxなどとの編集争いをへて結局管理人にノートを含めブロックされてしまいました。私に対しては独自の研究と批判しておりましたが、私を批判する編集者も独自の研究をしており、私だけがブロックされる理由は見いだせません。議論を重ねるごとに私の状況は悪くなっていきました。

しかたなく、別IDで意見を主張したのですが、それが私をよく思っていないひとたちにチャンスを与えたようで、いまは、ブロック期間が終了しても、新たに何かを欠けばさらにブロックされるという状態です。ノートも含めてのブロックですから、管理人などとは連絡が取れません。最近は編集合戦にはならないように控えておりますし、勿論荒らしに該当する行為はしておりません。たしかに別IDというお点はありますが、それを理由にブロック期間が終了したのに、何か編集すればそれが小さな編集でもブロックされてるという状態です。私はwikipediaが百科事典としてより良いものであってほしいと心から願っています。しかし、おそらく悪意のあるベテランの編集者から、編集をさせないよう常に監視されている状態です。

日本のWikipediaでは、ベテランの管理人が新人の編集者を排除する動きが問題になっており、とくに日本のスタッフでは解決できないことが指摘されています。日本には調停委員会がなく、いまの状況になればスチュワートさんに頼るしかありません。私が再び編集者として活動できるよう、よろしくお願いします。--14.13.83.193 14:20, 14 October 2020 (UTC)、

Yes, that person used public facilities. So I just haven't come to a technical conclusion. There were users who used the same facilities and devices, but I think they weren't the ones your community was looking for. --Sotiale (talk) 13:04, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Unless otherwise indicated that VPN/OP was used when I published the results to SRCU, you can assume they used regular IP ranges. If necessary, it blocks when VPN/OP is abused. --Sotiale (talk) 08:37, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Please help

Hi. Will you please block 114.4.0.0/17 (talk · contribs) and reblock 114.5.0.0/16 (talk · contribs) since IPs in these range have been persistently harassing and vandalizing pages I edited and my talk pages for months. It has the same behavior like the blocked 120.188.0.0/17 (talk · contribs). Not only in enwiki but also across several wikis like idwiki and commonswiki. The wider (114.4.0.0/16 (talk · contribs)) is now blocked on enwiki only for some time so he moved to commons and IDWIKI. I have filed to Steward requests a week ago and still no actions. Please help. Thanks. Flix11 (talk) 08:47, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Also,User:堯舜垂衣裳 is 冏?

@MCC214: Fighter Lance is HBN, and other socks are アマチュアキックボクシング, 我在故宫修文物, 千葉與千尋. All locked now. The another one seems to have used a public place, so it is difficult to draw any conclusions. --Sotiale (talk) 12:29, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks your help,also,I need to said sorry to you,if you got trouble to my speech in 6 January,and you have misunderstanding to me,I am feel so sorry,because I saw Camouflaged Mirage said something in 5 January,so I don't calm and said some speech when you feel not good,as for this case is what happen,I don't convenient said in here.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 10:12, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

In case of Q1112emm, seems to have seen it in the range I investigated yesterday. It could be 冏 as you say. FYI, because 冏 uses quite volatile and crowded ranges, technically differentiating this user requires some know-how. Therefore, when making a request to SRCU, it is important to clarify the target you are asking for investigation. --Sotiale (talk) 12:42, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

SRCU for Ca11ist0

According to the admin on zhwiki said in SRCU,the admin on zhwiki was not obvious objection to this request locally,please decide check this or not quickly.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 08:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Old SRCU request

I need you to check this again,please see zh:WP:RFCUHAM,because in zh:Topic:Vwyztnkwnqyufibr,user said '其實我早已認為T君(Thomas 1120)應該開了很多傀儡，只是我近來工作忙碌，加上查sleepers有很嚴謹的理由才能查核，故此才暫且放棄，暫時只好見一個才舉報一個吧。',this means user feel Thomas 1120 not only these socks,and possible have sleepers,in community opinion,I feel you should check this,because this user possible is new zh.wiki LTA.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:06, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Please make a request to SRCU via HAM. --Sotiale (talk) 12:16, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Continued Old SRCU request

Your opinion (or for that matter, zhwiki consensus) does not override OC. — regards, Revi 12:17, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
You know zh.wiki have find new LTA every day?In zh.wiki,some users need check sleepers in SRCU and help local after,but your limited was too more,I feel,more limited are not help local communities,we submit request in SRCU,because we don't waste many time,and we can do more things to others.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
That does not change the fact that 'zhwiki consensus cannot override OC ruling'. If they say 'doing this is not allowed', that is not allowed, and if any of us do that, we will face removal of permission. — regards, Revi 12:35, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
I only said oppose,because I believe Sotiale only need to help our community when Sotiale do the steward,and I think Sotiale doing is correct,also,I don't think ignore when zh.wiki community agree submit request in SRCU,and zh.wiki community have consensus in HAM before zh.wiki submit request in SRCU.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
OC's investigations and resolutions cannot be overruled by local community consensus. If OC admits that there were serious problems with my checkuser as a result of their investigation, I should quit steward. I have never had a serious problem since I first became a checkuser to this day, and that's because I adhere to the general standards and policy. Local consensus is the minimum criterion for progression on zhwiki and is not a sufficient condition. I know what you mean, and I'm grateful for what encourages me. But please keep in mind that I have a duty to comply with the policy. --Sotiale (talk) 12:28, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
I believe you,but I don't feel all OC's investigations and resolutions are correct,imho,SRCU set a lot of limited and conditions are not good things,and don't help our community,also,I don't think you should quit steward.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 11:17, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Proxy?

Hi Sotiale--you blocked 46.19.138.122; a well-known en-wiki sock used that to create an account. Would you mind checking if 31.141.91.41 and 188.58.105.181 need attention, and if account creation needs to be checked? The sock is also active on 5.24.0.0/16, but that range is so big we can't do anything more, I think. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:05, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Today's IRC chat

Hi Sotiale. I just checked out the crazy vandalizer who registered hundreds of accounts that we've talked about earlier - I wasn't paying attention to this case yesterday, so I wasn't quite aware of it. I don't think I have addressed your main concern - There are some IPs from carriers such as China Mobile Hong Kong (CMHK), HiNet, and Taiwan Mobile being blocked pretty much all the time due to active LTAs on the range, so feel free to block any of them as you wish. Besides, since a considerable amount of proxy IPs are blocked due to vandalism, mainland Chinese newcomers need to write to admins to create an account for them anyway, so our mailing list for block appeals is flooded with account registration requests, and we all know how to handle them. There are several admins including Tigerzeng and WhitePhosphorus who take active care of the mailing list and also active on IRC. New account requests/IPBE requests will be taken good care of no matter they are from mainland China or people on blocked active ranges. It would be more helpful if you can append this message to the regular logging to help the newbies find the guide to apply for an account, but I'm not sure if this complies with stewards' guidelines: 您所使用的IP地址因跟破坏维基者重合，被管理人员封禁。如您需编辑中文维基百科，请参照此处网址所写内容，向管理员发送邮件申请账号：https://w.wiki/Jyi . --Techyan（Talk） 14:19, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

@Techyan: Thank you for caring me. I have refrained from blocking zhwiki crowded ranges for several reasons. I've been doing it even more carefully, especially if this is an xwiki abuse, one of which is why you said it. This is because I didn't want zhwiki admins to do more work.. But your words relieve me ;) Thank you. --Sotiale (talk) 23:57, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Explanation

If you want my explanation, text me on discord if you have one. Tempus_CHT#2674 is my tag on discord. Liberalus homo universalus (talk) 23:23, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

CCF

Sorry to disturb you on your user talk page, but as you have mentioned in Chinese Wikipedia, one of our administrators 蟲蟲飛 has been suspected of using sockpuppets. I am here to ask privately (at least not on local zhwiki) that what will stewards suggest us to do if the zhwiki community think that she may have a certain possibility of abusing sockpuppets? Thanks, and take care! —〚 Arronwan 〛 08:25, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

@Arronwan: I'm getting tired of many inquiries, and I hope this is a good explanation for you. It's something you didn't ask for, but I'll cover it all. The principle is simple.
  • Assume the following: Some users, even if they have an account, use their IP to participate in discussions and criticize other users.
  • This is technically clear confirmed. And it's not just one case.
  • You can examine several possibilities. Consider the following possibilities:
    • User was accidentally caught in public IP: One IP is only occupied by this user for 3 months.
    • Someone secretly used her device: Perhaps this is a scene from the Mission Impossible movie. It's hard to logically believe that someone used her device and she logged in again in 5-10 minutes. At least she should have known.
    • She was automatically logged out due to technical issues: You may have already seen the post left on Wcam's talkpage. It's hard to think that an admin will write such a posting. I don't know how the she usually speaks. However, I can imagine admins to go to another admin's talkpage and not use criticism or blame without detailed explanation. This can also be explained from what will be described later.
    • Chances are it's not her, though: Yes, but it is very unlikely that use the same IPs, the same unique device, the same OS, and the same browser with same version at the same time. How likely is this to appear more than once? Wouldn't it be less likely if it were public IP? If the coincidence continues, it is because it is not a coincidence.
  • What are you proposing to our community?
    • Nothing. It's up to you to decide whether you will trust her, forgive her, take another action, or no take action. Did I take any action after I declared someone's account on SRCU? My role is to provide information.
  • Can I trust you?
    • You don't have to trust me. This is because it can be verified at any time.

--Sotiale (talk) 09:25, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Anyway, thank you for dealing with such a large amount of enquiries from our community! I would be transferring the answer to the zhwiki community, and probably translating that in Chinese. Once again, thanks! —〚 Arronwan 〛 10:11, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

About 蟲蟲飛

In zh:Wikipedia:互助客栈/消息#Questions_to_Sotiale_and_answers, there are still some questions needing stewards to answer. Some of them will be helpful in a planned desysop request.--GZWDer (talk) 12:56, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

For clarification: They are many IPs commented on various thread in zh:Wikipedia:互助客栈/其他, some of them (1500+ revision involved!) are oversighted. Are these IPs related to 蟲蟲飛? Another page involved is zh:Wikipedia:申请解除权限.--GZWDer (talk) 21:22, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Even if I want to answer you, it is something that cannot be answered regardless of my thoughts. I hope for your generous understanding. --Sotiale (talk) 07:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
I think other stews have already given enough answers to this case. Regardless of this case, if they had some validity in the claims made by some users, they would have stated that the claims were reasonable. I am under so much stress about this case, there are limits to the information I can disclose, so I am refraining from further intervention. --Sotiale (talk) 07:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

CCF 2

How can you be sure that the device is unique? UA can be easily spoofed with little technical knowledge required. Besides, in her statement, she said that it’s her workplace’s IP address shared among co-workers, and they used devices distributed by their company. If that is true, wouldn’t it decrease the chance that the devices are indeed unique (as in physically the exact same device)? 2605:8D80:442:AFB5:DC7E:CF62:50CB:36B5 07:51, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Erm... this is a bizarre hypothesis. I will answer you, given that my answer is not related to her case. First, please read your claim again, do you know what device she is using? Of course, it's not just device, but if you don't even know the information, I'm curious how to spoof an unknown device. As for IP, I think that what has already been provided by other stews is enough for you to understand. --Sotiale (talk) 12:11, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Well, if it was indeed done by a bad actor physically in the proximity of CCF, it is possible for them to know the exact browser and device CCF was using. That would mean their IP addresses would be identical too. Also, I apologize if my comment above brought any stress. I was just curious about the reason behind the claim made by you and other stewards. 2605:8D80:444:BEE9:29D2:34AC:6FA5:1AF9 10:25, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

More about CCF

I am sorry to bother you, but recently, a user (I will refer to them as User A) of Chinese Wikipedia claimed that CCF abused several IPs in March 2019. His claim is as follows:

  1. CCF used IP 1 to question a deletion review which had been handled by an admin (Admin B).
  2. After Admin B responded to them, CCF used IP 2 to blame Admin B to be "inexperienced and unable to handle DRV".
  3. After several other users discussed in the review, CCF used IP 3 to criticize them as "ignorant and shallow".

I looked at these IPs. IP 1 was used between August 2018 and Sept 2019. The contributions of IP 2 seems to have been removed by local admins, banned for 2 years since Jan 2021. IP 3 was used between Dec 2018 and May 2020, banned for a week by CCF for harrasing other users in Jan 2020, and banned for another week for being used by LTA w:zh:wp:LHKS in Feb 2020.

I would like to know whether these IPs have been used by CCF, and whether these IPs were used by CCF alone. IP 1 is 58.177.252.225, IP 2 is 118.140.135.130, and IP 3 is 221.124.27.71. Itcfangye (talk) 03:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Some questions for SRCU via HAM

When last time we only request check relationship for LTA,but now we need to check their sleepers and use original object for last check,you will accept it?--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 11:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm busy today, so I'll get back to you soon. --Sotiale (talk) 23:58, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello. For accounts that have already been investigated, it makes no sense and is not allowed to do same investigation to find out who they are. This is because it is the same result as doing the same investigation twice. --Sotiale (talk) 12:29, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
If first time we only need to check relationship(e.g.1,2 relationship),but new request we need to check sleepers(e.g.1,2 sleepers),you will accept it?--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 06:25, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
In the first investigation, the sleeper investigation was completed. So re-doing the sleeper investigation with the same account group is {{fishing}} and processing is not allowed. --Sotiale (talk) 09:33, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

That mean is,

In the first investigation,we only request check relationship,but you check sleepers at the same time.

In the second investigation,we request check their sleepers via LTA,this is fishing.

Is it?

--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 14:10, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

In short, it means that it is inappropriate to do multiple investigations over a period of time on the same accounts. --Sotiale (talk) 05:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
But data only keep 90 days,if I don't find any sock in local,we can use the same accounts request check before the same accounts stale?--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:25, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Also,I hope you reply my email,as for this case is what happen,I don't convenient said in here.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 09:38, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
It may vary from case to case. Please ask me in advance whether it is possible to investigate or not. And I've read your mail, but I'm not sure what to reply to. --Sotiale (talk) 12:38, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
I will send new email to tell this.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 14:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
I read your email,I know I should do what,I would send new email to you.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 11:19, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
The answer is late because I am busy. I know that your appeal is a process being reviewed. --Sotiale (talk) 11:04, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks you send this notice for me,because I feel their review have not any transparent. --MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:05, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

CRHK128 and South Africa No.1

I'm a bit confused. So what to do then? An RfC on Meta or this should only be decided in a per-wiki manner? --Techyan（Talk） 01:51, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

In general, a global lock is an obvious case, and in the case of a global lock for normal users(not spambots, simple LTAs, etc), it must be included in the requirements of global ban. However, the account you requested does not even meet the requirements of the global ban. And in this case(CRHK128), global ban is more suitable than global lock. --Sotiale (talk) 03:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

SRCU request

Because the reason you know,so I only reply in your talk page.

In SRCU#Sikakah800@zh.wikipedia,first two users and two IP 14.161.8.97,223.197.33.75 vandal in zh:User Talk:CRHK128[4][5],and 223.197.33.75 edit summary (Wrong infomation.) same to ชนไดร้ท์ฆ่าเอ็มซีซี214 (Comfirmed in January request,Yage Wu),in history via 母親,you can see WOO124 edit on it (Confirmed Yage Wu sock in last year),also,红细胞3803 edit similar to 223.197.33.75,and you can see 223.197.33.75 write edit summary is ㄎㄎㄎㄎ,白细胞3806 user name similar to 红细胞3803,+ㄢ user name similar to ㄎㄎㄎㄎ.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 11:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

What you describe to me should be posted on SRCU page, not my talkpage. This is necessary for the record. Ask the user who forwarded your request to SRCU appropriately explaining it there. --Sotiale (talk) 12:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
If you see my email,that means 'I don't have any edit in SRCU page',this is the decide by steward team,when they accept my appeal before,I forgiveness to you.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 08:59, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
OK. Thanks--Cmsth11126a02 (talk) 15:02, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
It is not appropriate for you to move MCC214's comments. MCC214 is currently banned from SRCU posting, keep in mind that copying and using his comment can be a circumvention of this ban. This may seem like you are helping MCC214 avoid bans, regardless of your intentions. Please note that MCC214's posting ban is a consensus of the steward team and is not my personal opinion. --Sotiale (talk) 12:15, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
When a representative for steward team said supplementary note for to Camouflaged Mirage,I feel Cmsth11126a02 was not have any problem.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:31, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
That means it doesn't matter if you post on another talkpage or HAM. Cmsth11126a02 copied your comment and posted it directly on SRCU. It's the same as you wrote it yourself. --Sotiale (talk) 12:39, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
I think steward team means 'Only I don't have any edit in SRCU page',but their not said 'Other people don't copied my comment and posted it directly on SRCU',also,this edit not edit to me.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
We call it evasion. I will send this to stew-I if you wish to clarify this issue. --Sotiale (talk) 12:50, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the IP range you suggested has to do with it, but it seems that the user has used an IPs and then registered the account, and hasn't used an IP ever since. --Sotiale (talk) 13:20, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Long term abuse (cross wiki and Globally) / Mr,p balçi

Hello. Please close this user and all related accounts Globally.

All of the following accounts, which are closed locally and globally, belong to him. In addition, some of them in different languages probably do not make good sense. In all wikis, in addition to sabotaging articles, he insults different users of different ethnicities.

If he finds out that a user has reported him, he will insult him. If he had found out, I would have reported him insulting and harassing him for a long time. That's why I came here. Has given many users with insults and threats .

Many users left Wikipedia forever with insults and threats made by him.

Hi, Sotiale ! If you can, please check user for ウィキ編集初心者 (talk · contribs).

If you have careful in HAM,you will find some SRCU request from zh.wiki HAM is request for me,such as HBN,瓦爾加,Thomas 1120,Wen Ng Ng,Albert20009,坦帕灣光芒460,Dragoon17cc,Niki0327,PXD,絆愛0630,110.29,林建祥,R125463268 etc.,many sock for them is request block for me in VIP,and limit many LTA active (Imho,this request is request for me in HAM,so you can find other and new LTA),so,I feel my request in HAM,other user hand in my request in SRCU,this action natural have their sense.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 13:16, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

When you leave a message, you tend to give no context at all. I handle requests from multiple users besides yours, so if you just send me your words without giving context, I will not be able to understand. And what's important to me is a good reason for handling the request and the basis for which I am convincing. Unless it is convincingly presented to me, I cannot process the request. Also, the benefits that are gained from it are only the result, not an up-front matter for processing the request. --Sotiale (talk) 13:38, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Imho,if you mark not done in this request,I don't think I can find A28485268dddd (create in November 2020) in local,so,I think you check this is very important,also,if you see request (archive) discussion link,you will understand I say what.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 13:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Basically, checkuser request isn't a function to find sleepers you can't find. That's just an additive result. The sleeper investigation itself is conducted only under very limited conditions and cannot be done in general. That is, prohibited in principle and allowed exceptionally. Therefore, if you wish to process your request, you must provide stewards with a compelling evidence and generally accepted reasons. --Sotiale (talk) 14:06, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

That's proof that checkuser tool isn't a magic wand. This is a tool to review relevance between accounts, not to find sleepers like magic. And finding sleepers requires quite a bit of skill. --Sotiale (talk) 10:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

In local,community request hope to blocked IP/IP(s) when 冏 sock used (根据本地CU方针第一款，“检查已封禁的账户所使用的IP，便于延长自动封禁”),so,I think this request is hope to blocked IP/IP(s) when 冏 sock used,because 冏 bery active in cross-wiki,we think 冏 only use a IP/IP range when it is fixed and concentrated.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 10:17, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
It is not to say that such action has not been taken or that such action is not necessary. That means you don't have to tell me again.

Above.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Well, they(Copyangry7fcvc and Zon6_zon6_fi1) have nothing to do with just comparing the data. For recent CCF-related requests, it is difficult for me to say who they are. Some may be existing LTAs, however, since OPs/VPN is used, and in some cases, the data may have been fake, it is impossible to distinguish it. All accounts that I did not list in the result of the request can be considered Inconclusive Inconclusive. For other accounts you presented, if you need additional investigation, please make a request to SRCU through HAM, not my talkpage. --Sotiale (talk) 12:28, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Global lock request

Can you please lock and hide this user? Aeschylus (talk) 14:37, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Global lock summary message

Hello Sotiale. I've got an enquiry on the Cantonese Wikipedia Telegram group regarding the global lock on 202.40.137.0/24. This IP address is used by Hong Kong Public Libraries and so the block affects many users.

The editing interface message is rather unhelpful as it doesn't immediately explain the scope of the block. When the editor making the enquiry saw the block summary "Cross-wiki abuse", she didn't try logging in as they (incorrectly) worried that logging in would cause her account to be blocked as well.

I wonder if you could edit the block summary to something like, "Anonymous editing from this public IP is currently forbidden due to recent abuse. If you are an existing editor, please log in to edit"? Deryck C. 19:16, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

I just modified the block reason, hope it helps. I know that it is the IP range of the public libraries, so I have been delaying the block since last year, but the global abuse has continued to be too serious. The block period is 3 months, but it is likely to be extended further. Anonymous editing will likely be difficult going forward. --Sotiale (talk) 01:17, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
I don't think the block reason change was copied across correctly - can you check? (e.g. User talk:202.40.137.0 just shows "Cross-wiki abuse") Deryck C. 11:47, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Just checked again - it seems to show the new block reason when I go to Special:Contribs/202.40.137.0 but the old block reason when I go to User talk:202.40.137.0. What is the interface doing? Deryck C. 11:48, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Well.. this is because metawiki blocks and global blocks are separate. Users affected by this 'global block' will see message that has already been changed. --Sotiale (talk) 12:06, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Global lock request

I can't post on the official request page because my account has less edits. Thus requesting here:

Can you global lock Nimesh_Pathora and Mealiyta?

The confirmed socks are evading their global lock per checkuser verified sockpuppetry on Wikidata.[14] They are blocked on Wikidata and now they need global lock.

Uhhhh, hey there:

Could you lock Calirose546, if you're somehow around? Here's what I'm talking about, and I've provided some context on why. It's clearly Vanessa566, an account I requested a global lock on for adding racial slurs in an article, and the misuse of multiple accounts. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:22, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Sotiale Wait, what does Augustina67 have to do with Calirose546? I'm probably assuming you ran a scan on the user? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:29, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
If the same editing pattern, same page editing, and technical data match, we call it a sockpuppet. --Sotiale (talk) 12:33, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, I knew that, but I'm guessing Augustina67 was a match with Calirose546, Vanessa566, and Mia34985. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 12:35, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Steward requests/Permissions#7elteven@nawiki

Really, this SRP request needs your inputs.

This user is confirmed as Mikhaliov ~ ltwiki by your 2020-12 SRCU, but still requests to be an administrator and some users support them, telling me that I shouldn't cite this user as sock for several reasons. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 08:28, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

I just dealt with the checkuser request of the ltwiki sysop. I don't have any particular opinion on the SRP request. However, I leave a comment that might be helpful to the requester. I don't have a firm opinion on done or not done for the request, but I think what I've pointed out in the comment needs to be addressed. --Sotiale (talk) 11:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Global RFC

Hello Sotiale, could you send me a page about global rfc? I will learn about it. Sorry for my ignorance.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 02:11, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Please see Requests for comment. By default, local processes take precedence over global ones. With some exceptions, the Wikimedia project respects local processes. Therefore, a global RFC is considered a last resort; it must be supplementary. It is only appropriate to file an RFC if all local means cannot resolve it, otherwise the RFC will fail. I guess that's all I can explain to you. Please browse this page for more details. --Sotiale (talk) 12:17, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Thank you, 감사합니다!--Zhxy 519 (talk) 18:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

When I request block IP/IP ranges (Steward requests/Global/2021-08#Global lock for cross-wiki abuse and LTA sock 3,Steward requests/Global/2021-08#Global lock for cross-wiki abuse and LTA sock 4,Steward requests/Global/2021-08#Global lock for cross-wiki abuse and LTA sock 5),they don't block it ([15],[16],[17]).--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 11:55, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

That's a decision they made after review. It differs according to the characteristics of the ranges and is comprehensively reviewed.

Recent IP abuses

Mys 721tx suspects some recent IPs editing w:魏鵬展 (disputely) are operated by 蟲蟲飛, which is recently banned by WMF (see zh:Wikipedia:2021年基金會針對中文維基百科的行動). Please investigate and globally block the IPs if necessary.--GZWDer (talk) 17:11, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

If it's really necessary, I think Mys 721tx will explain this well. I don't think I've heard enough why it has to do with 蟲蟲飛(Whether the user has edited 魏鵬展 before, or there was a related dispute, or the same edit was made?) --Sotiale (talk) 10:59, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
"蟲蟲飛" itself is a line from Wei's poem. We suspect there is a more direct connection. CCF, whose user name was 屈原蟲 at time, was created immediately after another sock was blocked. There should be CU logs still there on User:大撚 if memory serves. Furthermore, CCF claimed to be from Taiwan in the very beginning and then somehow claimed to hail form Hong Kong. It is entirely possible that the woman from Taiwan identity was forged by Wei. Mys_721tx (talk) 16:44, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello,please lockw:zh:U:Sima's Dog,because he is Walter Glassroot’s (WMFBAN)Sockpuppet. CreeperDigital1903 (talk) 11:40, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

You can see the discussion here: zh:Wikipedia:2021年基金會針對中文維基百科的行動/其他相關討論#再談蟲蟲飛用傀儡的可能性. In short:
  1. In Feb 13-15 2016, a large number of new accounts edited zh:魏鵬展 (article of a Hong Kong poet), which is an article newly created. The accounts are reported to CU; in Feb 15, Mys 721tx, then a CU in zhwiki, confirmed all accounts and block all of them.
  2. In Feb 22, 蟲蟲飛 (then named 屈原蟲) was created. Somebody point out 蟲蟲飛 was one of sentences of a poem by 魏鵬展.
  3. The newly created 蟲蟲飛 account immediately starts to edit 魏鵬展 article.
  4. Soon after 蟲蟲飛 is banned by WMF, there are new IP edits of the article and someone suggests the IPs (which have also edited in 2020 in various wikis) are 蟲蟲飛 based on edit pattern; they also suggests the socks used in Feb 13-15 are also 蟲蟲飛 (such accounts are long stale).

안녕하세요.

굉장히 수상해보이겠지만 방법이 이것밖에 없어 남깁니다. 제가 계정이 없는 관계로 메일 보내기가 안 되고 메일을 알려주시기는 어려우실 거 같아 nazagarira 지메일로 메일 하나만 보내주시면 글을 남기게 된 경위를 설명 드리겠습니다. 감사합니다. --2001:2D8:E30A:837F:0:0:BA:AD7 23:37, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

그 메일주소로 계정을 등록해서 저한테 메일 보내기 기능을 사용하면 용건을 보낼 수 있지 않을까요? --Sotiale (talk) 10:46, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
위키에 기부도 하지 않는데 메일을 보내려고 쓰지도 않을 계정을 만드는 건 너무 비효율적인 거 같아서요. 많이 수상하겠지만 부탁 드리겠습니다. 이 말을 하는 시점에서 제가 봐도 훨씬 더 수상하긴 하네요. --2001:2D8:E996:9469:0:0:1EBC:60B1 13:27, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
위키에 기부하지 않는 사용자가 대부분인 위키미디어에서 비효율을 굳이 생각할 이유는 없어 보이네요. 말씀드린 방법을 쓰시거나, 그렇지 않으면 이 곳에 말씀하실 내용을 써 주세요. --Sotiale (talk) 00:56, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
여기에 쓰지 않으려 한 이유는 여기와 관련이 없기 때문이었습니다. 그럼에도 남겨 달라고 하셔서 씁니다. 아래의 레파토리는 한국어 위키에선 너무 흔해서 식상한 모양이지만 저에게는 진지한 부분이니 참고해주세요. 한국어 위키에 남겨도 될 걸 여기에 쓰는 게 정말 수상해보이겠지만 거기에는 크게 3가지 이유가 있습니다. 권한을 남용한 사용자의 권한 회수를 주장하다가 다른 사람으로 오해 받아 차단(사용자토론 편집 금지)을 받아 글을 남길 수 없고 차단 회피라는 말을 듣기 싫기 때문이며 한국어 위키에 실망했기 때문입니다. 저는 27.35.45.144라는 아이피를 썼고 개인적으로 과거 고려 사용자에 대한 불만이 있었지만 차단될만한 발언은 한 적이 없습니다. 아이피라는 이유로 제 스스로가 이용자 증명을 하겠다고 했음에도 다른 사람과 착각되어 차단당하며 나잇값 하라는 소리를 들을 이유도 없습니다. 협박이나 법적 위협조차 한 적 없지만 단순히 아이피 대역이 같다는 이유로 동일인으로 판단 받으며 반론의 기회도 빼앗기며까지 모욕을 받을 연유가 없습니다. 한국어 위키가 이렇게 심각하다는 걸 안 이상 더는 기여하고 싶진 않지만 제가 그 오해 받는 이들과 다른 사람이란 사실을 증명하고 오해를 풀며 사과를 받고 싶습니다. 저도 한 인격체로써 그럴 권리는 있다고 생각합니다. 어떻게 하면 저를 증명하고 오해를 풀 수 있을지 좀 도와주세요. 모바일이 익숙치 않아서 비문이 있다면 죄송합니다. --2001:2D8:EA2D:9CAB:0:0:38A3:50B0 05:11, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
본인께서 동의하지 않는 이유로 차단당한 것은 안타까운 일이지만 제가 사용자께서 동일 대역의 다른 아이피 사용자와 다른 사용자인지 판단하거나 또는 입증하여 드릴 방법이 마땅히 없습니다. 현재 한국어판 위키백과는 중재위원회도 운영되고 있지 않은데다, 저 또한 한국어 위키백과 외에도 다른 일이 너무 많아 모든 경우를 도와드리기 어려운 형편에 있습니다. 제게 연락을 주셨지만 송구하게도 사용자께서 관련된 건을 검토하기가 시간상 부담스러운 상태입니다. 다른 좋은 관리자분들이 계시니 그분들께 연락을 하여 도움을 요청해보시기를 권해드리고 싶습니다. --Sotiale (talk) 04:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
그래서 메일을 보내 달라고 한 거였습니다. 그리고 차단 재검토나 다중계정에 관해서 가장 많이 담당하시기에 요청을 드렸습니다. 확인도 제대로 안 하고 차단에 토론까지 막고 비난까지 들어서 몹시 납득이 안 갑니다. 토론 차단으로 공식적으로 요구할 경로가 막혀 구제가 안 된다면 그건 정말로 말이 안 된다고 생각합니다. 곧바로 해달라고는 안 하겠습니다. 그저 차단 기간 내로만 요청 드립니다. 이렇게 요청 드리는 이유가 제가 이걸 전문적으로 담당하는 관리자가 또 누가 있는지 몰라서요. 앞에서 말했지만 필요하다면 제가 누구인지 이용자 증명도 하겠습니다. 감사합니다. --2001:2D8:6572:CEEB:0:0:D3F:E716 07:20, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
전문적으로 담당하는 관리자가 누구일지는 저도 잘 모르겠으나 기본적으로 모든 관리자는 차단 재검토를 할 수 있고, 그마저도 안 된다면 사용자께서 한국어 위키백과에서 무언가를 주장할 수 있도록 토론란 해제 결정 또한 가능합니다. 관리자 목록에 있는 관리자 중 사용자를 도울 수 있다고 생각되는 사람에게 연락을 해 보시기 바랍니다. --Sotiale (talk) 11:07, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
이미 일부 관리자를 방문했는 걸요. 다들 기존의 다른 관리자의 판단을 재검토해야 한다는 부담감과 저를 신뢰 못하는 점 때문에 답변을 하지 않는다는 최선책을 고른 거 같지만요. 물론 저라도 그럴 거 같네요. 하지만 차단 사유는 말씀하신 아이피 대역과는 상관 없이 단순히 제 기여가 여전히 알 수 없는 누군가와 비슷하다는 이유였고 그 오해를 불식시키려고 본인 증명을 하고 싶다고 계속해서 말했지만 돌아온 건 비아냥과 하지도 않은 법적 협박을 근거로 한 차단이었습니다. 이 상황에서 저로서는 이 부조리함을 헤쳐나갈 자신이 없네요. 위키백과는 원래 이런가요? --2001:2D8:6F2B:E97:A808:D207:28B:5BCB 06:59, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
제가 현재 시점 기준으로 한국어 위키백과 문제를 주의깊게 볼 여력이 없다보니 딱히 무어라 드릴 만한 말씀이 없네요. 다만 지나가는 말씀을 드리자면 이용자 증명이란게 의미가 있는건지 의문이 들어요. 가령 사용자의 신원만 밝힌다고 한들 상대방 아이피가 다른 사람이라고 하더라도 귀하인지 타인인지 구분하는 데에는 하등 도움이 안 되니까요. 문제가 잘 해결되기를 바랍니다. --Sotiale (talk) 11:41, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Would a checkuser between different projects be possible?

The Chinese community is suspecting if User:Tmc210523 (registered in Zh but not in Commons) is a sock of User:Adad01023 (registered in Commons but not in Zh), as Tmc210523 continuously tried to add a file commons:File:自拍11.jpg (uploaded by Adad01023) to w:zh:林芙芙. I would like to know if it is okay to make such cross-wiki checkuser requests without violating any rules, and possible to perform such checkuser technically? Thank you. Itcfangye (talk) 04:06, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Local checkusers can request data from checkusers on other wikis if necessary to prevent abuse of their own wikis. They have their network. If stewards are asked for data for a wiki that doesn't have a checkuser, they can, at their discretion, send the data to a local checkuser. So if a user on zhwiki uses commons for abusive purposes, the checkuser request should originate from commons. This may be initiated by the steward first if they are overtly abused on several wikis. Either way, it must be sufficiently proven that this user is doing the abuse. Otherwise, the investigation cannot be conducted. --Sotiale (talk) 10:54, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

안녕하세요.

외람된 일이나 요청 드릴 부분이 있어서 글을 남깁니다. 위에 비슷한 글이 있는 걸 봤는데 그럼에도 불구하고 염치 없게 의견을 남기니 가능하시다면 도움을 주시면 좋겠습니다. 한국어 위키백과에서 정책에 의거하지 않은 무기한 차단을 당했고 그에 대한 이의 신청을 했더니 다중계정으로 몰렸습니다. 이 말을 쓰는 자체로 상당히 수상하다고 느낄 수 있겠으나 필요하다면 과거에 다른 사용자가 하였듯 한국 위키미디어 협회를 통해서라도 다중계정과 전혀 관계 없음을 증명하고자 합니다. 본론으로 돌아가서 본래라면 사용자 토론 문서에서 이의를 이어갈 예정이었으나 초보 관리자들의 오판이 반복되면서 토론 문서까지 막혀서 어디에도 의견 개진을 할 수 없게 되었습니다. 한국어 위키백과에 기여를 많이 하지 않는다는 것은 위에서 봐서 알지만 다중계정 검사를 주로 담당하시고 상황을 객관적으로 파악하실 수 있을 것으로 보여서 요청을 드리고자 합니다.

그리고 가능하다면 위키백과를 위해서라도 부디 한국어 위키백과의 사용자 관리 요청에도 관심을 가져 주셔서 초보 관리자들만이 처리를 하게 되는 일이 없게 힘 써 주시면 고맙겠습니다.

더불어서 아마 알고 계시리라 생각돼는데 근래에 다중계정들이 일반 사용자나 IP 사용자를 따라하는 일들이 늘어나고 있습니다. 역오리실험을 실행하는 걸로 생각되는데 이 이야기를 했더니 다중계정으로 단정 짓는 불상사가 발생하더군요. 가면 갈수록 다중계정이 나날이 악랄해짐에도 초보 관리자들은 악으로부터 선을 구한다는 신념(위키백과 중독)으로 기여에 대한 명백한 구분 없이 일괄적으로 차단을 실시하고 있고 계속 이러다가는 지속적인 IP 대역 차단과 더불어 한국어 위키백과에 사용자들이 남아나지 않게 될지도 모릅니다. 신규 사용자를 유치하려 하는 상황에서 아이러니 합니다. 이걸 안지 2개월이 되었는데 누군가에게 말한다고 해서 바뀔 문제는 아닌 거 같아 말하지 않고 있다가 답답한 마음에 홧김에 말했던 것뿐인데 괜한 사족을 붙였던 것인지도 모르겠네요. --Minjunojo (talk) 13:18, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
