Sock?

You recently blocked USER:Beaver's Library Book as a sock. Looks like USER:Gd45ciq84303321 is their new sock. O3000, Ret. (talk) 18:40, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Checkuser isn't helpful, though. But if they're consistent, they'll start socking there too. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 18:56, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

And indeed, they did. Four others blocked. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:43, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Surprise, surprise. O3000, Ret. (talk) 19:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Re-protect Bhumibol Adulyadej

Hello, could you protect the Bhumibol Adulyadej page again? I think a longer period than 7 days is wanted now. FredTC (talk) 09:31, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Protected for 3 years. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 13:58, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

User:Adaki2019

Hi Jp, confirmed to whom?--Bbb23 (talk) 12:56, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Seems to go back to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Karanshrivastva through Ritesh748. More recent use of interest to you would include Levi Kambai and M P tyagi. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 14:43, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Huh. Any objection to my tagging the untagged accounts as suspected socks of Karanshrivastva?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

No objection to tagging ever. I just don't often do it myself. Thanks! --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 16:16, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm not asking only about whether to tag at all but what level of tag (suspected, proven, confirmed). As always, thanks for your help.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:25, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh ho. I thought this might be the case, but now I've got evidence that this is part of Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Liamb2011. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 00:26, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Haha. Behaviorally, that makes much more sense. I'll change the tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

You know why I'm here

അദ്വൈതൻ - what other accounts?--Bbb23 (talk) 18:06, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Avran Ninan. Nobody I've seen before, but as soon as അദ്വൈതൻ said "I haven't abandoned this account and started a new one to cover up these history", my radar immediately said "who even asked?" so I checked. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 21:45, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Where did the user make that comment? I must've missed it. It's interesting that they created the new account before my block. Naturally, I'm going to tag - confirmed, proven, or suspected? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment: right here. CU is quite unambiguous. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 22:11, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Not very bright, are they? I've tagged as confirmed.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Somali clans

Hello admin, @Garabnimo has evaded their block after being blocked under their previous account @Samirlalas for restoration of questionable content at various articles related to the Somali people and their history. The account is now restoring content at the Somali clans article and is insulting with very bad language at the edit summary. Please have them blocked immediately. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 15:26, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, JP, just do it!--Bbb23 (talk) 15:37, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

I have also added a report at [2] Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 15:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Which I've reverted because it's malformed again.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Good moorning. Done. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 16:07, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
