Huh. There are reasons my picture appears nowhere on Wikipedia. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:55, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I tried to post an SPI, but it went straight to the discussion page. Can you help? [1] 62.74.14.48 (talk) 14:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what you are asking for. You are linking directly to an SPI page, not a discussion page. --Yamla (talk) 12:51, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
The IP couldn't create an SPI report, so they posted it to the SPI Talk page, and another user created it for them.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:58, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ah! Thanks, Bbb23. --Yamla (talk) 13:00, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure which specific sock you think this is. I'm not permitted to use WP:CHECKUSER tools for general concerns like this. --Yamla (talk) 14:47, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding Autisticeditor20's continuous block evasion

edit

Dear Yamla,

We recently managed to catch a (I'm pretty sure) VPN IP that's confirmed to be a sockpuppet of Autisticeditor20, despite the last time they used an IP sock they wrote an "apology letter" apologizing for their wrongdoings (the one that you replied to).

That apology was a lie. They didn't stop. They still continue to sock this time making edit requests like they said in their fake apology that they want to recommend other users to edit for them.

Considering we're dealing with a user with a confirmed neurological disorder, this is going to be hard as they are borderline obssessed with editing and they will go out of their way to break through the authorities to get what they desire.

How do you plan on dealing with this in the future?

Best Regards,

So, I have no plan on dealing with this in the future. :) In general, WP:SPI is your go-to. Checkusers can't tie IP addresses to specific editors, but we are permitted to block IP addresses without comment and that's really easy to do if the IP address in question is a proxy. More generally, dealing with users who are unable to stop editing can be challenging. Often, if we block the new IP address and revert 100% of the edits and do that a few times, they get the message. Some users just don't, though, and sometimes even escalate as far as death threats for literally years at a time. --Yamla (talk) 14:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeap. Not the least bit subtle. I'll take care of it. --Yamla (talk) 17:10, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
