Hello General Notability, referring to a problem about "using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Anna Margherita Donà (talk · contribs)". I would like to disclose my connection with this account. Indeed, I've created it at first without linked the Anna Margherita Donà account with an email adresse and then I forgot the password. So I've created a new account and I'm not using Anna Margherita Donà anymore, indeed I tried to delete it (even if I'm aware this is not possible on Wikipedia). Do you know how I could solve the problem without have my Cleo_18 (and unique active) account be blocked from editing ? Thankyou for your help.Cleo 18 (talk) 17:44, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Cleo 18, you won't be blocked. I would recommend that in the interest of transparency you mention that Anna Margherita Dona is a past account on your userpage, but that is your choice. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:38, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you General Notability, ok, I will mention it in my Cleo 18 user page if it's needed. Best Cleo 18 (talk) 20:18, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for protecting Ben Bova. His death's been sourced now, so the protection can be removed. Schazjmd (talk) 21:43, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Schazjmd, unprotected. GeneralNotability (talk) 22:42, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

In the News! The ISS has been continuously occupied for the last 20 years! Expedition 1 arrived on 2 November 2000 with the first long-term residents. That’s longer then Wikipedia has existed. Crew-1 successfully launched from LC-39A on 16th November 2020, at 00:11:15 (UTC). Later, on 17th November 2020, 04:00 (UTC) Michael S. Hopkins, Victor J. Glover, Soichi Noguchi and Shannon Walker joined Expedition 64 and the crew of MS-17 on the ISS. Arianespace had a launch failure after liftoff of its Vega rocket on the 17th November. Two satellites were lost due to an integration error of the fourth stage.
Article of the month. Apollo 12 Apollo 12 was the sixth crewed flight in the United States Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon. It was launched on November 14, 1969, from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, four months after Apollo 11. Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad and Apollo Lunar Module Pilot Alan L. Bean performed just over one day and seven hours of lunar surface activity while Command Module Pilot Richard F. Gordon remained in lunar orbit. The landing site for the mission was located in the southeastern portion of the Ocean of Storms.	Image of the month. This is an image of the ISS from December 9, 2000. Almost 20 years ago, this image is one of a series of 70mm frames taken onboard Space Shuttle Endeavour. With the ISS being continuously occupied for the last 20 years, this shows how the space station has developed over the years.

Regarding Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Elliotthomaspotts/Archive, they have another IP, which has vandalised past final warning too. 2.31.78.90 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – DarkGlow (✉) 21:03, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

DarkGlow, I think you're right, and that IP is on the same range as one I blocked before. Blocked them and another IP they seemed to be using. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Do you think it would be relevant to perhaps add this to WP:LTA? – DarkGlow (✉) 20:05, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

DarkGlow, don't think so - a few block evasions isn't enough to earn a place there in my opinion. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Another of their IPs here: 2.24.14.73 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – DarkGlow (✉) 13:05, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

DarkGlow, blocked, thanks. Wish I could rangeblock but this is a huge range and there would be a lot of collateral damage. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:36, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

That's a shame. I don't know much about IPs – how many users would be affected by a rangeblock? – DarkGlow (✉) 15:48, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

DarkGlow, the network they're editing from contains 65,536 IPs and they could potentially be assigned any of those, plus they've previously been on a different network with the same number of IPs. I can't tell you how many people are actually on that range, but for ranges that big we usually won't block unless we're dealing with a really bad vandal or LTA.

It looks like they are using a proxy to editing the page .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/MarquinhosWikipediano/Archive#21_November_2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_war_crimes&diff=989942043&oldid=989936206 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_war_crimes&diff=992662261&oldid=992277578 looks like the page needs protection.2601:81:C400:DC30:C0BF:DCE:5AAE:ECC6 (talk) 14:50, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

They are adding the same material that was deleted by another admin that they put https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_war_crimes&diff=990060344&oldid=989995557 and they admit to being MarquinhosWikipediano just like they did on the ip talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_war_crimes&diff=991022492&oldid=990892804 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:187.39.129.78#block.2601:81:C400:DC30:C0BF:DCE:5AAE:ECC6 (talk) 14:58, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

16:14, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for your help on Gary Ridgway. However, I noticed that the protection you put in place is significantly shorter than the previous protection, which expired only a couple days ago. Would you please take a look at the page's protection history and consider making the semi-protection longer? The page has been a vandalism target for a long time. Thanks. Dunley (talk) 18:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Second that request. The IPs belong to LTA CalebHughes and he'll just keep going for lack of something else to do with his life. Favonian (talk) 19:00, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Dunley, Favonian, done - wasn't aware this was an LTA so I was just trying to stop the immediate damage. Protected for three months. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:04, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

GeneralNotability The three month protection you put in is still significantly shorter than the one year protection that expired only a couple days ago. Are you absolutely sure you don't want to go longer? Dunley (talk) 19:28, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Facepalm I saw El C's block and was like "why did they do a <1 day block from Dec 2 to later on Dec 2?" Nope, that was a year block. Reading is hard, okay? Amended. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:30, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Pro-tip: SOP, Dunley's also blocked. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 16:24, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

After further investigating, I have come to the conclusion that the text may actually be a copyright violation. I copied and pasted the text into Google, and searches from 2010 came up. Dutchy85 did not add the text until 2012. I am well aware that these search results do not necessarily mean that the text was copied, but I do think it can be a good indicator. Sorry if I'm wasting your time. Again, the film is The Duel at Silver Creek. Scorpions13256 (talk) 19:53, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Scorpions13256, if you do think it's a copyvio, go ahead and use the {{copyvio-revdel}} template (User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel is a great tool for generating the template). I just wanted to make sure that you'd considered the possibility that it was a reverse copyvio since the source looked a little iffy. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:32, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for recommending that script. I did not know it existed. I guess I no longer have to use IRC. I'll wait for someone to delete the revision. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:16, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I recently saw a investigation of sock puppetry regards to that specific user. And I was put under suspicion. I am telling you and I felt like that I Just need to say I am 100% not trueman31. I would never vandalise the Wikipedia ever. Especially not after the last times. The edits I reverted was the ones that Trueman31 vandalised. I know that case closed but I’m just letting you know I’m not trueman31 or any sock puppet of him. Thanks WikiFlame50 (talk) 22:04, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello GeneralNotability/Archives/2020,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

See this, which itself links to my talk page and another deletion forum. Not sure what this editor is up to, keeps being told it's irredeemable spam Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:51, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Jimfbleak, thanks, I'll keep an eye on this...for someone with 100k+ edits they seem distressingly unfamiliar with some basic policies. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:53, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

The page on Rufus (software) is semiprotected due to vandalism, despite having a low amount of edits, vandalism or not. I personally think that pending changes would be a better form of protection for the remainder of the current protection. Computerfan0 (talk) 20:17, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Computerfan0, sure, why not. Dropped to PC protection. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:03, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

This is follow up to SPI case you closed. I would have taken this to User:Ad Orientem, but that editor retired. Because there were other issues (what to do with standing cases when an admin retires, plus long-term edit warring, disruptive unsourced editing, and WP:IDHT), I tried ANI, but failed to get a coherent response. The SPI subject did respond promptly with an unsigned post from another IP in the SPI case. Despite a clear warning to avoid mixing static IP and account edits which was received a half-hearted response, there was an ongoing mix with IP and logged-in edits over the following months: account and IP. Not all, but many of the logged-in edits were on partially protected pages. My threshold for action was reached with the account repeating the same factually incorrect (basic arithmatic) edit: IP (October)-account (December) that had been reverted by another editor. The IP that replied on ANI, had not made other edits between the SPI and the ANI, but has only made one unsourced edit that has been reverted at Chain letter. It follows the same theme as prior unsourced edits from a defunct IP ([9], [10]) from the SPI case. That IP had been reported for sockpuppetry and there was an unsigned IP reply that argued against the need for sources since some unsourced edits had not been reverted. I hope I am not out of line coming to you. If I am, please refer me to the appropriate venue. BiologicalMe (talk) 18:56, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

BiologicalMe, acknowledging that I've seen this, but it's been a busy couple of days. I'll try to take care of this tomorrow. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:54, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. This is a case measured in edits per week, so there is no rush. Thank you for for the status update. BiologicalMe (talk) 01:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

this, in your capacity as an SPI clerk? My concern is that the reported sock is editing articles which the master has been topic banned from. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:33, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Beyond My Ken, replied at the SPI and on the editor in question's talk page, and if they don't give a satisfactory answer there will be indefs. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

The User:EnPassant is attempting to claim that I am the subject of the article and is referring to me this way here.

I'm not just attempting, I'm openly stating my suspicion. And yes, I deleted the puffery [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18] that you spammed all over Wikipedia. ♟♙ (talk) 22:27, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm apparently late to the party (seeing as how you're CU-blocked), but I consider myself far too involved in this situation to act as a neutral admin. Ask someone else. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:13, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Wow, Pudeo has a good nose. I'm developing a "beginner's nose" for dirty laundry but this amount of research is several orders of magnitude above what I will ever see myself doing, not to mention the presentation. I've only been following SPIs for a few months and don't follow all of them, but I don't think I've seen anything that comes close to this level of digging except maybe for persistent, known, last-sock-was-fairly-recent LTA cases. In a word, just... wow.

The case is marked "closed" so I'm not going to add to the SPI, but it looks like Mathpianist93 is the new "oldest account," from 2006. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 15:19, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

@Davidwr: Sometimes there are good tips who to check for... Still, it is pretty tedious and if you are wrong, it's been a complete waste of time. I recommend going to a user's contribs, setting it to 500 -- then modifying 500 to 5,000 or so in your browser's URL. The software allows you to see 5,000 of their contribs on the same page, and if you open both users' contribs in different tabs, it's fairly easy to CTRL+F for similarities. I find that more useful than the editor interaction tool. --Pudeo (talk) 17:00, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

@Pudeo: that makes sense once you have a sockpuppeteer in mind, but I'm very confused/amazed how you thought of LoM in the first place? Matching "trying to get people blocked and edits in the China topic area" to a sock from 6 years ago is an incredible deduction. I figured you maybe remembered them from prior interactions but afaics you never interacted with LoM when they were around? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 17:45, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Hey there, I just blocked Flyingcolouredbutterfly for 2 weeks for persistent overlinking, most recently here, but prior to that, here. While I feel justified for the block, I didn't immediately recognise their name as the editor I'd previously come to you about, and it was my intention to avoid blocking them directly. Thus, I have removed the block. They were indeffed at Commons for copyright infringement, and this persistent effort to go out of their way to make bad edits, along with their deafening silence, is starting to feel an awful lot like trolling to me. I'd appreciate if you'd consider adminning here, please. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:08, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Cyphoidbomb! I've reinstated the block you made; as an uninvolved admin I think two weeks off for disruptive editing (particularly the lack of communication) is appropriate. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:19, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks mate. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:20, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
