  • Administrators: Please make a note if a report is dealt with, to avoid unnecessary responses by other admins.


Unprotect Category talk:1 person

Billinghurst deleted and salted Category talk:1 person for the following reason, "see Category_talk:1_people". I've checked the latter and found that Joshbaumgartner pinged the admin to move back Category:1 people to Category:1 person, which is contrary to the action of the admin. I've recently moved Category:1 people to Category:1 person as per a CFD, but the talk page does not get renamed due to the protection.

@Sbb1413: I have carried out the move. Is anything else needed? Regards, Aafi (talk) 18:00, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for moving the talk page. This completes the process of moving Category:1 people to Category:1 person. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 18:01, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Marking ✓ Done (for the archviving bot) Regards, Aafi (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protect User talk:Qcne

Proxy-abusing sockpuppets of User:MidAtlanticBaby (see w:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MidAtlanticBaby) have been repeatedly leaving harassing messages for this user on English Wikipedia, and since Qcne's talk page is protected there they have now resorted to leaving messages here and pinging Qcne on random talk pages. Please protect for a bit. Ivanvector (talk) 21:39, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Semi-protected for 2 weeks. Yann (talk) 21:43, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: Reported to m:srg.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:36, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks both, I also had a section up on m:srg. They are flipping proxies quickly enough that logging there is probably not going to be of much effect, but thanks anyway. Ivanvector (talk) 00:44, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have the technical know-how to set it up, but we should be able to block that with an abuse filter. @Elcobbola and GPSLeo: You come to mind as the most active recent abuse filter managers. Can you assist? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think that it is possible to create a useful filter here that does anything else than what a protection of the page does. GPSLeo (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Prima Manufacturing

Block request: User:Asifaliam (sockpuppetry)

Asifaliam (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  is a fairly obvious sockpuppet of Azamali1 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) , who has been blocked for uploading a whole ton of images of their head photoshopped onto copyrighted celebrity photos, and using Commons for self-promotion. The user has continued similar uploads with the new account. Adeletron 3030 (talk) 15:50, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sock block request

Hi. Please look into and block the following sock accounts:

Thanks. Wcam (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should go to com:RFCU. @Krd, can you handle this, or should I file a report? All the Best -- Chuck Talk 17:27, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alachuckthebuck, RFCU are not needed. The usernames are similar and there's no need to waste a CU's time. Regards, Aafi (talk) 18:23, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
but I'd want to hear another opinions. Regards, Aafi (talk) 18:25, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Aafi, Can you block them per behavior and usernames? All the Best -- Chuck Talk 18:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Impersonation / block evasion

User has just been indef blocked for checkuser block evasion on enwiki (en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Vanderpumpstan). They've uploaded five photos to Commons claiming to be actress Sally Jane Spencer uploading images of herself and her father, but per this Commons AN post about a previous sock they are presumably just taking images from the press and social media and claiming them to be personal photos. File:Me (Sally-Jane Spencer) and my father (Norman Spencer), 2020.webp was posted to https://facebook.com/10157962325026434 several years ago, File:Sally-Jane Spencer as Linda Patterson, 1976.jpg is a still from a copyrighted TV show. Belbury (talk) 17:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done indefblocked. Bedivere (talk) 18:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yuonn

For your information, I just blocked Yuonn (talk · contribs) indefinitely as sockpuppet. I created one month ago a request for checkuser, which was inconclusive, but user talk:Taivo#Missing categories and user:Taivo/Archive24 Jan–Mar#File:Yamamoto Heikichi.jpg are too similar. They must be the same person. Taivo (talk) 17:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

Protect the following pages:

Long term abuse target, blocks simply not enough. ToadetteEdit (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I protected the categories, but I do not want to protect user talkpages currently. Taivo (talk) 15:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
