Steward_requests/Username_changes#EpicDream86.40enwiki[edit]

Hi! I noticed you did this rename on kowiki locally. Because of this, we are not able to do the global rename, so it would be best if the rename would be undone, and his account unified. This would permit us to usurp the remaining accounts and rename him globally. Is that possible? Savhñ 17:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I will ask him about it. Thank you for notifying! --Sotiale (talk) 06:45, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Superprotect status[edit]

Dear Sotiale, since you are an administrator on a wiki from which no user participated in this discussion, I'd like to make sure you are aware of some recent events which may alter what the Wikimedia Foundation lets you do on your wiki: Superprotect.

Global renamer[edit]

Hi Sotiale. You have been granted the global renamer right some time ago. Can you please email me so I can subscribe you to the global renamers mailing list? Thanks. :) Trijnsteltalk 23:54, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No renaming between November 20 and November 27[edit]

Hi,

You’re getting this because you’re a steward or global renamer. The Community Tech team are working on cross-wiki watchlists. We need to add a couple of fields to the localuser table in centralauth database. In order to be able to do this, we’d need to run a script that will get in the way of renaming users. Our apologies – we realize this is getting in the way of your work.

We ask that you do not rename anyone between 00:00 November 20 (UTC) and 00:00 November 27 (UTC).

(UTC means that if you live in the Americas, it will be on the evening or afternoon of November 19 when the script starts running, and if you live in Oceania or eastern Asia, it can be closer midday on November 27 before we can be sure the script is no longer running.)

Phabricator task.

If there are any problems related to this, or you have any questions, please write me on my talk page. /Johan (WMF) (talk) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:42, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

URGENT: Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information now[edit]

This is a reminder to acknowledge and sign the new Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. As you know, your volunteer role in Wikimedia projects gives you access to secure and sensitive information.

The new version includes one major change.

  • There is a change regarding the way personal data may be released. Accordingly, functionaries must notify the Wikimedia Foundation at check-disclosure(_AT_)wikimedia.org before releasing data, in order to obtain a written approval for doing so. The Foundation will respond within 10 days. However, for emergencies, such as cases involving threats of violence, functionaries may release the personal data without such explicit permission, but they should notify the Foundation immediately following the disclosure. If they choose not to disclose the data, the request for disclosure should be forwarded to the Foundation's emergency email address (emergency(_AT_)wikimedia.org).

There are also some wording changes that were made to more closely align the language with evolving industry norms, best practices and laws. The most notable of these has been the change of the term "nonpublic information" to "nonpublic personal data". None of these changes are intended to make fundamental changes to the scope or practice of the policy but we know they could appear as such, hence wanted to flag them.

The aforementioned changes require users that have already signed the previous version of the policy to sign the new version as well.

We therefore ask that you to sign the updated version. Signing the agreement is tracked on Phabricator's Legalpad. An online guide is available to help you with signing the agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign. If you wish you can sign it directly at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/L37. The exact policy is located here: Access to nonpublic personal data policy. The text of the confidentiality agreement is located here: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information

If you have already received this message and signed the updated agreement, you need not sign it again. Once is sufficient. In this case, we ask that you respond to Samuel (WMF) letting him know when (date) and how (method/process of signing) you have signed it so that we can update our own records.

Note: please bear in mind that if you still haven’t signed the updated version of the Confidentiality Agreement by February 13, 2019 your rights will be removed.

Thank you for your understanding,

Samuel Guebo (User:Samuel (WMF)), Wikimedia Foundation

LPP/ko needs update[edit]

As changes applied for 12 days. --125.36.185.11 02:49, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to manage my own talk page[edit]

I have a preference that unless someone has admin rights, that they do not play with the trolls that wish to attempt to bother my talk page. I prefer that we don't feed these trolls, and get rid of them first prior to reverting their edits. They will just continue to try and play, and this one will just swap IP addresses, and they have a series ready to rock and roll. If they are attacking my page, they are leaving others alone.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:41, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Q[edit]

Hi Sotiale, do you know any LTA cases that is related to 김괘걸? Minorax (talk) 14:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Minorax: Can you tell me what he did? There are many LTA cases in Korean Wikipedia. --Sotiale (talk) 14:21, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can't specifically say name it but if you take a look here, there are several accounts (26-ish) created with 김괘걸 in the username. Minorax (talk) 14:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... There are guys who keep creating accounts. Korean Wikipedia has a filter to block them. But.. that case(-- '김괘걸' pattern) is the first pattern I see. --Sotiale (talk) 14:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, I will inform Commons administrator(maybe -revi). --Sotiale (talk) 14:36, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'll let him know the list for easy access. Thank you. Minorax (talk) 14:41, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About re-renaming[edit]

Dear Sotiale, thank for your help with my last renaming (here), but if I would like to rename my account and my bot again, would it be possible? Would it be a big task to accomplish renaming work due to my huge bot editing numbers? Thanks.--Lamchuhan (talk) 14:10, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If it's possible, I will think twice this time before I make the request.--Lamchuhan (talk) 14:12, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lamchuhan: Hi, Lamchuhan. Username can be changed up to two times(That is, next change is final). So you can change it once more. However, there is a requirement that six months have passed since the last change. The same applies to bot account. As you know, your bot account has too many edits. Therefore, to avoid potential problems, we must inform the system administrator before making the change. In general, we recommend that do not change bot account with too many edits. --Sotiale (talk) 14:46, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sotiale: Hi Sotiale, thanks for answering my question. I am recently working on creating more articles on nanwiki using my bot account, so it's obviously that the editing number of my bot will keep enlarging in the near future. Thus, could it be possible that the renaming team makes an exception for me, ignores the six-month rule, and change my account name soon? Sincerely.--Lamchuhan (talk) 15:29, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because edit count is already high enough, it is the same to notify system admin after 6 months option and Immediate option. I personally think there is no difference between two options so I don't think we can ignore 6 months rule. But if you want, I will discuss it within renamer team. If you want, please tell me again. I will send an email to renamer team to start discussion. --Sotiale (talk) 14:02, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I would like to change my name as soon as possible. Should I tell you the name I would like to change to?--Lamchuhan (talk) 00:47, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First, discussion should end. When the discussion is over, I will inform you of the results. --Sotiale (talk) 04:38, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lamchuhan: Hi, good Monday. Email me username you want. It has not been finalized yet, but there seems to be the possibility of accepting your request. There is plenty of time, so please consider carefully before deciding. --Sotiale (talk) 02:09, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, good day for you too. I have three accounts, one manual and two bots; namely User:Lamchuhan, User:Lamchuhan-bot, and User:Lamchuhan-hcbot. I would like to change their names into Taigiholic, Taigiholic.bot, and Taigiholic.adminbot respectively. Thanks for helping me, hope request being accepted. Best regards.--Lamchuhan (talk) 06:45, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, should I stop editing during renaming?--Lamchuhan (talk) 06:45, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, when rename is started, you are automatically logged out and you cannot log in until rename is complete. --Sotiale (talk) 14:44, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry on Marathi Wikisource[edit]

Dear steward,

Thank you for your technical analysis of Socks on Marathi Wikisource. Since two users are found confirmed I thereby request you to immediately place a block on these accounts so they do not further vandalise that project. The project at current has no administrator and thereby I request you to take action. Thanks and Regards --Tiven2240 (talk) 05:26, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Could you please give me the details of abuse? And I wonder if mrwikisource has an editor community. Thank you. --Sotiale (talk) 05:59, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As per normal Wikisource procedures an editor first does OCR than the OCR are proofread and then it's validated. In this process atleast 3 users needs to be involved. कल्याणी कोतकर (Kalyani Kotkar) with its sock accounts have done it all. Kalyani or the sock account (दिपक कोतकर) Deepak Kotkar makes the OCR and than with another account proofreads and validates its own edits. As an example रूप पालटू शिक्षणाचे is created solely by Kalyani Kotkar and its socks. On random page edits the same patterns can be seen (As an example). Also on both user pages there are declaration which translates to (I Deepak Kotkar work in the Social entrepreneurship department at Jnana Prabodhini Institute, Pune.) And on Kalyani Kotkar's userpage (I work in Jnana Prabodhini. I'm a computer expert.). The books that are OCR'd by these users are pertaining to the institution (Jnana Prabodhini) they work and are self uploaded on Wikimedia commons (For example this one). Also seems and smells like undisclosed paid editing/promotion. These accounts are also used to getting concensus as seen here and here . These accounts are also seen to increase participants counts for various Wikipedia projects organised for example this and this however no contribution to the project or event had been found. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions if needed. Regards. --Tiven2240 (talk) 09:30, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiven2240: Thank you for reply. I think this is a complicated problem. After reviewing it with other stews, they are likely to be relatives. Because their last name is the same, they can be relatives. If so, this is difficult to see as a simple sockpuppets case. If they use internet in the same space, they will have to come out technically the same. Would you like to discuss this in mrwikisource community? --Sotiale (talk) 11:22, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is no such active actual Marathi Wikisource community. As since Similar pattern is observed at Marathi Wikipedia the local 'crat has asked them for explaination of these edits there. They are asked to respond in 3 days. Let's wait until they respond. --Tiven2240 (talk) 16:23, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, let me know if they have any conclusions from mrwiki. --Sotiale (talk) 02:01, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sotiale: We are married to each other and share one machine to edit. Thank you!--कल्याणी कोतकर (talk) 08:52, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@कल्याणी कोतकर: Hello. Thanks for your response. If there is any misunderstanding about you, I believe that it will be resolved. I have already stated that technical confirmation does not prove that you are sockpuppets. I hope the problem on mrwiki will be solved well. --Sotiale (talk) 09:12, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Dear Administrator![edit]

Deutsch | English | español | français | italiano | 한국어 | Nederlands | português | Türkçe | русский | العربية | Tiếng Việt | edit

Congratulations, Sotiale! You now have the rights of an administrator on Meta-Wiki. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-adminconnect. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta. Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List of administrators and the Template:List of administrators. You're also allowed to subscribe the metawiki admins private mailing list. Again, congratulations and welcome to the team. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:40, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming[edit]

Hello Sotiale, thanks for the rename, but the reason why I wanted the rename was not served well. I though everything will be renamed, but talk pages comment and article page history signature remains with my old name. Can anything be done about it? Drat8sub (talk) 21:32, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The rename function does not change the signature left in discussion pages. It just redirects from your old account to your current account, and clicking on the old signature will take someone to your new account. --Sotiale (talk) 00:22, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

zh wiki new user seeking advise[edit]

First of all, I am a new wiki user, and English is not my native language, please do accept my apologies in advance in case I have done anything inappropriate.

I was misidentified as a sockpuppet user, and is banned in zhwiki permenently. I swear to God or whoever you want that I am not any form of sockpuppet user. The problem is that I had filled in the unblock template and provided sufficient evidence and/or arguments proving I am not a sockpuppet user, but no one seems to believe so. I would like to have a 'Steward requests/Checkuser' performed but do not know how to start one. I would like to ask 1)can I start that 'Steward requests/Checkuser' on metawiki myself? 2)if no, could you help start it or does it have to be a zhwiki user? 3)more importantly, I personaly think that the zh admin who banned me had not been using his/her power and rights properly, as I notice that he had banned at least one other user for being sockpuppet but doesn't seem to have valid evidence or prove, what can I do about so?

Thank you in advance.--Stupidbuteasytoremember (talk) 13:42, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Because you have already been investigated on SRCU, making a new request does not help you. Based on the technical data, it has been shown that you have not used another account, but this technical investigation is very limited, so it is only a supplementary basis. Also, I think it's not an important factor in proving your innocence in zhwp. This is because zhwp blocked you based on your behavioral pattern or edit type. It appears that the unblock request you have made is already in progress. Unless you're actually an abuser, you can claim your innocence in unblock requests. Please explain enough about how you differ from the abuser. I can't intervene in zhwp without special circumstances. So the advice I can give you is to explain on enough of your innocence to admins and other users. --Sotiale (talk) 03:10, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply, but things might be a bit more complicted than you think. I believe the SRCU you mentioned is about me(stupidbuteasytoremember) and 'Bowie Cheung'(he seemed to have changed his user name). I was suspected as the sockpeppet account of 'lovehksinger'(or "lhks", as they prefer this shortform). 'Bowie' was at first suspected to be my sockpuppet acount, so according to them, all these three accounts are under lhks(bowie(spp)->me(spp)->lhks(master)). The SRCU only proved that me and bowie were in fact technically non-related, but I am still considered as a sockpuppet of lhks. Therefor, I think that having one more SRCU on me, but with lhks, could solve all problems and minunderstandings completly.
Moreover, regarding 'explain enough about how you differ from the abuser', I have atually had 20 arguments to prove so, 6 of them were based on 'Triggers of a sock puppet investigation', 11 being 'habitual behavior' of lhks, and finaly 3 in responce to the questions/similarity other users suggested. But no one seem to belive that I am innocent, therefor I am seeking advice on what I can do other than explaining to some arguably irrational users.
Thank you once again.--Stupidbuteasytoremember (talk) 09:40, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Investigating someone's account does not mean a simple comparison with another user. Based on the data at the time, it doesn't make any sense to investigate you again. As already mentioned, I cannot intervene in the local process. Unfortunately, there is no way I can directly help you. If you think you are innocent even though your unblock request has been fully reviewed by other admins, and if you can't go through the block review process anymore(ex. talkpage revoked), open Global RFC as a last resort. --Sotiale (talk) 14:53, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Vanished user 24kwjf10h32h[edit]

Hello, Sotiale,

This is the second time this week I've seen an editor who was blocked, years ago, get a courtesy vanish. That seems strange to me. What is the thinking behind renaming an inactive editor who is blocked? Thanks for any information you can provide. Liz (talk) 22:42, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you, @Liz: May I ask what made you feel strange? I would like to know if you thought it was strange to accept a blocked user's request, or something else was strange. And sorry in advance. The answer may not be fast because I am a bit sick now.. --Sotiale (talk) 00:01, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry you are unwell. What seemed strange is this is the second name change I've seen this week for a editor who has been blocked for years and is inactive. It's not like the editor is going to be editing ever again. Why give an editor a courtesy vanishing when they have been guilty of sock puppetry in the past? It's like erasing their previous account names, leaving no record of their older user page or user talk pages.
Also, on a different note, this name change resulted in me deleting over 100 pages of redirects from their previous username pages since you didn't leave redirects from their old name to their new name so they were all broken redirects. So, that was time-consuming.
I hope you feel better soon. Liz (talk) 04:41, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz: I have a little fever but fortunately it doesn't seem to be corona. Thank you for your concern! and I'm sorry to hear that, Liz. I want to tell you that I'm sorry to bother you unintentionally. In the case of Vanished, this happens sometimes because it suppresses redirects, and I also have that experience on my local and I understand the discomfort you may have felt.
As you said, he is blocked on enwiki with sockpuppet. However, he had edits outside of enwiki and was sysop of some content wiki. I contacted him to get rid of his sysop flag and made it clear that he was thinking of leaving entirely. I have accepted the request for that reason. Before accepting this request, I checked the category to see if he recently suspected using another sockpuppet, but couldn't find any other logs except blocking 2 years ago. And since the template and category created by his old account name on his userpage already works, I thought there was no problem finding him for administration purpose.
I've generally rejected requests from users who were blocked on charges of sockpuppets. At this moment, I am also pinged that sockpuppets have been created that harass me and other users and now log-in wiki for checkuser. Nevertheless, I accepted his request because I thought he really wanted to leave. At least he was trusted as a sysop on some content wiki, so that's not completely impossible.
This is why I accepted the request, but I don't want to make the administration activity of enwiki difficult or confusing. Also, I don't want to go against the will of enwiki community. No one wants it. If you think his main account should still be in the old state for administrative purposes, I don't want to object to it. He has already told me that he has randomly generated the password and mail for the account, so if that is true, then the status of the account will be a matter for the remaining people to decide by comparing his interests with the interests of the community. --Sotiale (talk) 06:16, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Creating user right rollbacker at el.wikt[edit]

Hello Sotiale. As you advised so kindly about creating a user right, a Vote took place in el.wiktionary, from 2020.06.04. to 2020.06.11. The right of rollbacker was endorsed unaninmously (6/6 votes), with the following five permissions:

  1. rollback
  2. Delete pages (delete)
  3. Undelete a page (undelete)
  4. Edit pages protected as "Allow only autoconfirmed users" (editsemiprotected)
  5. Edit pages protected as "Allow only administrators" (editprotected)

The text of the vote includes translated text in English.
Might be useful:

We all thank you very much. It would be very helpful for a small wiki to have editors who will be able to patrol easily. Thank you again, Sarri.greek (talk) 09:52, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, Sarri.greek. I'm glad your community has done well! However.. there seems to be an expected problem. Permissions are too strong for rollbackers. Perhaps it's closer to eliminators (Q10862160) than rollbackers. For this level of permissions, the bureaucrats will grant this flag, and the admins will not be able to grant it. And it's difficult to predict whether Sysadmin will agree with this, because large communities generally make this when they want to separate delete/undelete permissions with less permissions than admin(Also, I'm not sure if undelete is possible if it doesn't have permission to view the deleted history and text[deletedhistory and deletedtext).
It is up to Sysadmin to create a new user group. I am only in the role of forwarding your request, so a definitive answer is impossible, but I am not sure that your request will pass. Please note that this is based on my experience, not what I think, but what I have seen in general. I know that the community has already decided, but I think the current request will be difficult. How about putting suppressredirect except delete and undelete? --Sotiale (talk) 10:56, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sotiale, thank you: too complicated. I have no knowledge of what 'eliminators' are (the title sounds a bit frightening). Our response would be:
«Whatever permissions are admissible, would be helpful and we are thankful.The directors of wikiprojects have the experience to grant whatever permissions of the above ad libitum. Our rationale (as for a small wiki) is: facilitate patrolling to the highest possible level»
Sotiale, we thank you in advance: please do not pursue the most complicated path for you. We will be happy with whatever permissions. After all, you volunteered to help us. Indebted, Sarri.greek (talk) 11:14, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, after I ask Sysadmin, I will tell you again :D --Sotiale (talk) 11:29, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sarri.greek, as I expected, it seems unlikely that your community's proposal will be accepted. If you want to deal with vandalism, I would like to suggest you a proposal.

  1. Quickly rollback the edits of the last user who edited a particular page (rollback)
  2. Not create redirects from source pages when moving pages (suppressredirect)

It will be enough to do anti vandalism. In addition, it is possible for admin to grant and revoke. suppressredirect is something you can discuss. This is useful when dealing with vandalism with page move function, but it may not be necessary for your community. If I had provided you with basic information, you would never have discussed it again. Sorry to you in that regard. If the proposal changes, you will have to go through the process of getting consensus again. So if you have any questions and want information for decision, please ask me enough and ask for information. --Sotiale (talk) 13:42, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ΟΚ! These are fine, they are already (the rollback) voted. I shall inform everyone. And add the change to the voting page. No problem: thank you very much for your effort. Sarri.greek (talk) 13:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your generous understanding :) If you need anything else, please tell me at any time. And let me know again after the discussion. --Sotiale (talk) 14:06, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sotiale, thank you, second vote is done, I hope that's ok, because nobody else is around. Thanks very much Sarri.greek (talk) 14:45, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Sarri.greek. Thank you for your effort. I applied for your request on behalf of your community. The request may take a month if it takes too long. I'll let you know as changes occur :) --Sotiale (talk) 15:12, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sotiale, thank you, thank you for all your trouble to help el.wiktionary! we are all very grateful to you for all your effort which concluded so successfully! Sarri.greek (talk) 13:04, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sarri.greek, it is my pleasure :) What I did was nothing special. It's all possible because your community has gathered opinions. I'm glad you seemed satisfied. I'm not sure if there is anything else I can help, but please feel free to contact me anytime. Have a good day! --Sotiale (talk) 14:23, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please globally block these ranges[edit]

Hi. Will you please block 120.188.80.0/16 (talk · contribs), 114.5.0.0/16 (talk · contribs), and 114.4.0.0/16 (talk · contribs) since IPs on those ranges have been persistently harassing and vandalizing pages I edited and my talk pages for days. Not only in enwiki but also across several wikis like idwiki and commonswiki. Thanks. Flix11 (talk) 12:59, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for reporting. Could you please let me know the relevant editing links or accounts you think are relevant? Doing global rangeblock requires a rationale, so I want to get some information. --Sotiale (talk) 13:06, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flix11 (talk) 13:58, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm a bit busy lately, so I'll review it as soon as it's time(I think it will be a weekend). If there is vandalism during the review, please let me know the link as well. --Sotiale (talk) 14:25, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I reviewed these bands. These bands are the mobile bands in Indonesia and very crowded, hundreds of people use them. If these bands are blocked, nearly 1,000 users are affected, and the side effects are so big. For this reason, this global rangeblock is not allowed.. :( When he appears, I think we should respond by blocking each IP or the adjacent band briefly. --Sotiale (talk) 14:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Irisvalverde1[edit]

Hello! I realized that you blocked the latest puppet from this account. This account never made a valid contribution to the Portuguese Wikipedia.

There was even a daily abuse of puppets and I had to take strict measures. Because of this, she began to abuse Spanish and English Wikipedia. All blocks by ranges and ips that I performed on pt.wiki are circumvented since it registers the new puppets in the other projects. Believe me, a user with global tools will need to globally block the tracks on this account, as it will not stop. I can pass the ranges by email, but all data is available for any checkuser. Edmond Dantès d'un message? 14:09, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Conde Edmond Dantès: Hello. Thanks for the message. Can you tell me the account that I locked? I don't remember right away. Irisvalverde1 doesn't appear in CentralAuth, but there seems to be a typo. --Sotiale (talk) 14:34, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Irisvalverde1! I'm sorry, this person created so many puppets with names of Brazilian actors and actresses that I often get confused with Ísis Valverde. I question if it is not valid to block globally the ranges and ips of the account. As I mentioned, she has been registering puppets on en.wiki and es.wiki to circumvent the blocks that I applied on pt.wiki. Records are available at checkwiki, but I can send them by email. Edmond Dantès d'un message? 14:42, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Conde Edmond Dantès: Ah, you mean Manu.Gavassi15. But as you know, Irisvalverde1 is exploiting the mobile bands. Gblock is basically not a good solution for mobile bands. The IPv6 band blocked on ptwiki was last used by Manu.Gavassi15 on 9 May. If Irisvalverde1's exploits are heavy, we might want to consider band gblock, but I think it is difficult now. Are there any other accounts you know? --Sotiale (talk) 15:18, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll try to explain the case: the IPv6 bands that the account uses have no significant side effects on the PT-Wikipedia. In view of this and the daily abuse of puppets on the account, I applied sanctions on the bands used. After that, she started creating puppets on other projects to get around the sanctions on pt.wiki.
So I would like a second opinion, I can strengthen the blocks in the bands already applied in pt.wiki and prevent accounts from editing the project through the ips allocated in the IPv6 bands. I believe this will discourage the person as their focus seems to be pt.wiki. However, she has been abusing other projects as well. If you think this can be a solution, I will apply. Remember that the bands used by the account will not significantly affect pt.wiki if they are blocked.
Irisvalverde1 cannot edit projects, she can easily achieve 200 editions in two days, almost all of which are invalid, requiring editors to revert a high number of editions. The damage potential of the account is high. And she just isn't abusing daily because the sanctions I applied seem to have worked (I can't answer for the other projects, so I need other opinions). Edmond Dantès d'un message? 04:09, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the explanation :) I understand that she creates and exploits accounts outside of ptwiki as you explained. What I am curious about is her recent activity. What type of activity has she been doing recently, and if she is using accounts, what is the most recent account? I reviewed the IPv6 band globally, but her last account was on 9 May. If so, it means she is hard-blocked on ptwiki in the IPv6 band and is no longer active. And if you know her activities in other bands, please let me know. If you are having trouble talking here, you can also use my talkpage on checkuserwiki :D Thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 10:31, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
