User talk:ST47: Difference between revisions

There is no need to reopen the case, as one of the accounts is stale and there is no violation of policy alleged. ST47 (talk) 00:00, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ST47 The concern is that the previous account ceased operating because of a conflict of interest. Drwillow seems to have the same kinds of conflicts and seems to be the same person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyderabad22 (talk • contribs)

@Hyderabad22: Why do I have five pings from you leaving me one message? ST47 (talk) 00:10, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ST47: Cause I'm a newer contributor and don't understand how to always correctly link to user pages. I edited them to link to the correct page. I'm sorry. Hyderabad22 (talk) 00:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ST47: It appears that this user has a new account and is again participating in disruptive editing as F&INerd. I have again requested a SPI investigation this time I believe I have marked evidence better. Hyderabad22 (talk) 22:40, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Block of User:DeniseWhite

I am not sure how you became aware of the odd PR behavior of DeniseWhite, but I appreciate your actions regarding this account. I posted a warning to this account's Talk page about this, and saw this odd message on my talk page requesting I not undue these edits. Thanks for your assistance. --- FULBERT (talk) 23:59, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ArthurCurry70/Archive

Hey ST, is it possible to check for any potentially active ArthurCurry70 socks? I've had my eye on TamilMirchi for a little while because he sprang out of nowhere and in the span of a month and a half has made about 8700 edits. I didn't have any behavioural markers to go on, but I notice that he recreated this article, which was created by ArthurCurry70. It could be a coincidence, but it's a bit odd, and most of the article was dropped in one dump, which tends to look like UPE. I'm happy to type something up at SPI if you think it necessary. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:01, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: I think that's just a coincidence given that this seems to be a very prolific contributor. They are

Unrelated to ArthurCurry70. ST47 (talk) 21:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Surprisingly prolific. Unsettlingly prolific... Thanks for looking, mate. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit filter

Hi ST47, edit filter 1050 has been working well, but unfortunately missed a recent edit that it would ideally have stopped. I'm testing an improvement for it at edit filter 2 and would appreciate edits or feedback before implementing it. — Wug·a·po·des 01:34, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Purge edit by Jewishadminstrators2

The vandals seem to be reverting to this version https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Sony_A-mount_lenses&oldid=954224168. Maybe worth to purge that version? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:41, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tyw7: That isn't likely to stop them, and in any case, it's not allowed under the revision deletion policy. ST47 (talk) 12:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ST47, fair enough. I thought they keep reverting to that version. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 14:23, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I semi protected that AFD. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Hi ST47 - not sure why I'm stalking you, and didn't even identify that this report was on your talk page until I looked at it again after protecting. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:57, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Xaosflux. Kingshowman socks have been messing with a few different AfDs today, in fact. ST47 (talk) 14:03, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why block this IP?

Hello ST47: Your bot has blocked this IP:

202.9.123.109

Can you explain me why was he or she blocked? Abdullah Al Manjur (talk) 17:05, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That IP address was blocked because it is an open proxy. It was operating on port 35481 at the time of the scan. ST47 (talk) 17:48, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@David J Johnson: Now I'm extra confused - you just did edit wikipedia, by posting to my talk page! If you get any more errors, please send a screenshot to the ticket as an email attachment and I'll see if I can figure out what the deal is. ST47 (talk) 20:51, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redlink at centralized discussion

Thanks for fixing that redlink I created at centralized discussion. I also missed adding the actual discussion link in the edit summary so I wasn't on my toes today. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:10, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
