Reporting socks

user:Tranhaidang2009 (has edits in English Wikipedia) and user:Juntran2009 are suspected socks of user:Tranhaidang1993, same topic same name. Both are blocked in Vietnamese Wikipedia. I suspect that he uses a different set of IPs now to evade detection. A thorough check of all his IPs may be necessary. Thank you! Nguyentrongphu (talk) 09:27, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Nguyentrongphu: consider making a Steward requests/Checkuser request on meta-wiki, or a Steward requests/Global lock request. 0xDeadbeef (talk) 09:32, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't like interaction outside of Vietnamese Wikipedia. Frankly, that is my main concern. He will be dealt with if he pops up in Vietnamese Wikipedia again. I'm informing you to raise awareness in case he is doing cross-wiki abuse again. Should you wish to pursue it further, please do. Thank you! Nguyentrongphu (talk) 09:38, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Home wiki

Note that you are free to choose any home wiki you prefer for the elections. It does not need to be the first or the one with the most edits. MarioGom (talk) 09:45, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@MarioGom: Per this I don't think so. 0xDeadbeef (talk) 09:52, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Interesting, thanks. MarioGom (talk) 10:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiAuthBot on the Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia Discord server

Hello dbeef! It has come to my attention that the bot is no longer functioning properly on the Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia Discord server. I'm also noticing that the bot is being decommissioned and that you should be contacted for the replacement. Can you help us out? Thank you very much in advance, and have a nice day! –Vipz (talk) 17:07, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

(note that I have already reached out privately and the bot is running on the server, forgot to note this here) 0xDeadbeef (talk) 04:15, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

WikiAuthBot2 on the Italian Wikipedia Discord server

Hello dbeef (from today :) I want to add the WikiAuthBot2 to the Italian Wikipedia server that I'm building (with a small group of other poeple) and this is a needed step before the public disclosure of the access link. I requested this also on the related topic in the Discord Wikipedia Comunity server. Thank you! -- ZandDev (talk) 19:25, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

UC4C Election 2025

Hi @Dbeef,

I am a candidate for the just concluded election.Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2025/Results - Meta I want to know what will happen to the vacant seats? Is there going to be another election or something else.

Best, Uncle Bash007 (talk) 05:52, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

@Uncle Bash007: We're looking for ways to get more people on the committee, but it won't be through an election (that will have to be in 2026). We're currently discussing the application process for non-voting members. Stay tuned as I believe we will notify past candidates once we have everything figured out. dbeef (talk) 14:38, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

@Dbeef Alright, thank you for the info.

But I thought you guys will recognize candidates who are close to 60% votes. I think it will be easier since they may seem more interested and familiar with the expected roles and responsibilities. Just a suggestion though.

Best. Uncle Bash007 (talk) 16:17, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

Special:Diff/29470904

感谢您愿意回答了此案的核心问题！关于2月的封禁，正如我在相应陈述中指出的是，“没有一个清晰的标准，任由管理员随意认定不文明行为，是在给管理员的随意封禁找借口”，同时，Midleading封禁我的直接依据是我说的这句“请你停止你的阴谋论行径。”，我也指出了该留言与维基文库的既有罐头留言存在一定相似，等。我在陈述中列举出了多处不合理，我想这无法用“不同管理员对于是否、如何实施封禁可以有不同的衡量标准”来解释。至于7月的封禁，我想我需要强调的是时间问题，Special:Diff/29408620，正如我在这条留言中指出的那样，Midleading在短期内与我本人存在多次言语不合的情况，阁下认为这样的情况仍然不符合避嫌的条件吗？还望您能解答，谢谢！ 红渡厨 (talk) 12:04, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

2月封禁，本人认为有不妥不假，但是有关此封禁也需在本地首先讨论之后无果才可能由U4C受理，例如此留言是否为无端指控，如果不是无端指控，是否可以作为不文明行为封禁，等。不过需要本地讨论，且在我看来没有严重到需要直接由U4C处理。

7月封禁，你的行为构成管理员看到就基本可以同意需要封禁的情况，而关于与你的言语不合是否影响衡量轻重，我个人认为，或许有一些，也仍然不足以怀疑Midleading的管理员操守，并且考虑到封禁也仍然是一年有效期，因此本人不认为上升到了滥用权限或需要U4C插手处理的程度，就这样。 dbeef (talk) 19:24, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

好，关于7月的封禁，你要这么说那我没话讲。但2月的封禁，我沟通过的，《s:zh:User_talk:Midleading#re_Special:Diff/2532112》这次在Midleading讨论页沟通的，沟通失败；之后，在我自己讨论页，《s:zh:User_talk:红渡厨#投诉管理员Midleading不正当使用管理员权限》再次沟通失败；再然后，《s:zh:User_talk:红渡厨#对管理员Midleading对我本人的两次封禁提出的申诉》我提出了申诉，到现在没有一个管理员处理。你说让我怎么弄？我不找U4C你还能让我找谁？ 红渡厨 (talk) 08:53, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

这个也让我们很难办，因为你不仅可以和Midleading沟通，你也可以和其他管理员沟通，或者和其他社群成员沟通。目前来看你在本地的沟通方式没有穷尽。 dbeef (talk) 15:05, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Maybe, but 红渡厨 is blocked for a seemingly unwaitable amount of time on Chinese Wikisource without email access and talk page access, so there is virtually nothing that 红渡厨 can do on that wiki. If there is reason to believe that the accused user is unwilling to change their perspective, it may be better to interact with other users on the wiki in question (per BRPE's new stance on Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2025/Suspected abuse of power by Asamboi but I'm leaving that in the past provisionally).

你这么一说我还真想起来了，我当时（2025年2月）真的有沟通过：

1. 《s:zh:User talk:氧烷#关于XsLiDian》，这个是跟之前的案件相关方沟通的，以与2月封禁息息相关的XsLiDian案件的名义，对方没反应；
2. 《s:zh:User talk:Kcx36#关于XsLiDian》，这个是跟之前的案件相关方沟通的，以与2月封禁息息相关的XsLiDian案件的名义，对方没反应；
3. 《s:zh:User talk:Zhxy 519#关于XsLiDian》，这个是跟管理员沟通的，以与2月封禁息息相关的XsLiDian案件的名义，对方没反应；
4. 《s:zh:User talk:Ericliu1912#关于XsLiDian》，这个是跟管理员沟通的，以与2月封禁息息相关的XsLiDian案件的名义，沟通中有提到“我在与XsLiDian的沟通中，是否存在不当行为？XsLiDian在与我的沟通中，是否存在不当行为？”，然而Ericliu1912在4月21日才回复，而且他跟我打太极，不正面回复。我认为从他这个回复时间以及回复内容来看，他不愿意掺和此事。

以及，我在《s:zh:User_talk:红渡厨#对管理员Midleading对我本人的两次封禁提出的申诉》找其他管理员申诉，到现在没人理，我认为这也从侧面说明其他管理员不愿意掺和这件事。不知这样符合你们U4C的接受条件否？——红渡厨 (talk) 15:45, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

补充一个，当时User:银色雪莉有说过这事，他的意见是“留意到本件中提报者所提及之第一件事项（2024年4月事）似乎涉及到包含对本人在内的指控，事去已久，我本来对此不感兴趣，对红渡厨阁下在此件中被处理之结果也不持异议（我看的不是阁下引的那一句话，而是“你离被封禁不远了”；至于我的观点，大概类同Eric Liu阁下在此件中的发言，即表达形式确实应是被注意的一环，相关发言的语气存在不必要的激烈威胁态度），但在此件中红渡厨阁下被处理所依其发言中，存在与Special:diff/2531813XsLiDian​阁下发言的问答关联（“小团体投名状式的潜规则”与“阴谋论”），而XsLiDian阁下此后以其曾与含本人在内的其他用户的交互作为提报中第一事项依据，则导致此逻辑上的关联具象化（因为这是提报者自身提及，并非他人）至其他特定事项并牵涉含在下在内的未参与第二事项（即模板事）讨论的用户”（s:zh:Special:Diff/2532453） 红渡厨 (talk) 16:05, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

@红渡厨：本人意见，首先，要举报管理员操作不当，很大部分上要求举报方是此管理员所在社群的一员。因为你已经被封禁，已经很难认定你是社群的一员。我认为你目前应该首要关注的是如何重返到你的社区。 dbeef (talk) 00:22, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

你这么说就让我很费解了。其一，在本地穷尽沟通方式的事情，是由你提出的，我对此作出了详细的回复，告知了你我有进行过相应的沟通，并列出了详尽的证据，你现在为何要对此事避而不谈？其二，我没听说过哪里有“要举报管理员操作不当，很大部分上要求举报方是此管理员所在社群的一员。因为你已经被封禁，已经很难认定你是社群的一员。”这样的要求，如果有什么我不知道的方针指引的要求，还请指出，如果没有，那我无法遵此行事。其三，我已经一遍又一遍地告知了你们U4C，沟通我也沟通了，申诉我也申诉了，我在本地已经没有可以继续做的事情了，为什么你们要一次又一次地让我到本地处理呢？你们U4C不愿处理到底是有什么难言之隐？ 红渡厨 (talk) 13:51, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
