Guidance regarding personal attacks, slurs.
Hi there.
I found an IP user who immediately resorted to personal attacks in Talk:Yasuke, to where/who can I report it?
User is @103.6.150.184, in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Yasuke&diff=prev&oldid=1224107290 Abandonee (talk) 14:50, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- WP:AIV is probably the right place. In this case, the editor has already been blocked for that inappropriate personal attack. --Yamla (talk) 15:46, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Draft:Roopsha Dasguupta
Hi Yamla. I saw in the log for Draft:Roopsha Dasguupta that you recently blocked Sayantansadipur for promotion. The draft has been recreated today by new editor Sadipuriya - likely a sock? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, likely. I'll take a look. Thanks for pointing it out to me! --Yamla (talk) 21:20, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Block evasion
Hi Yamla, almost a week ago you banned User:The Penfield Homunculus for repeated block evasion. A new sock has turned up and edited e.g., the FC Barcelona article today, which definitely belongs to that user (same manner of writing, restores the previous version of the article). What do you think, is a further increase in protection level of the FC Barcelona article an idea (since the sockmaster keeps coming back there), or is it a bit extreme? Thanks, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 07:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Which account are you referring to? Déu-n'hi-do for example was registered on 2024-05-05 so possibly isn't part of the same set of socks. --Yamla (talk) 10:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm referring to "Déu-n'hi-do" (sorry, should have been clearer there). I'm 100% certain that that account belongs to The Penfield Homunculus. They have the same style of edit summaries/writing, the same interests (FC Barcelona/Catalonia) and at the FC Barcelona page "Déu-n'hi-do" restored the version of the sockmaster (odd behaviour). Going by the history of the FC Barcelona page, it is clear to me that "The Penfield Homunculus" has often had multiple accounts at the same time; Pròssia was used from 11 to 28 April, but during that time there was also an account called ONLY-BARCELONA from 21 April to 1 May, followed by A Crocodile in Bed from 1 to 5 May, an account from 2 May and "Blow.ofmind78" from 13 to 16 May. The sockmaster (and thus "Déu-n'hi-do") seems to understand that by making small edits, one can easily rack up the amount needed to edit such pages. It wouldn't surprise me if there is another sock of him already out there, which will have at least ten edits in three weeks, starting this process all over again.

- Please file an WP:SPI and I'll take a look. If the account matches, I strongly agree it's time for article protection. --Yamla (talk) 12:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Yamla, I've re-opened the investigation here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Penfield Homunculus. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 12:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Must finish the show of socks
Eem dik doun in toene accused to me to be a sock of other user. It's obsessed. Mucchia (talk) 13:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry to bother you again, Yamla. This message, however, and this user trying to boss my talk page, throwing his toys out of the pram (although they claim "to be neutral"), is just a bit annoying... Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 13:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
