SPI[edit]
Hi Yamla. Is there any chance that this SPI could be looked at-[1]. The disruption caused by this sock-master is off the charts, and includes brazen vote stacking in AFDs and creating poorly sourced POV pushing articles that promote religious heroism. 2 admins have expressed concerns that the first account, Historian2325, is a SPA-[2]; both accounts aren't even trying to hide their links to the sock-master and are openly trying to see how far they can take their DUCK edits. You also dealt with one of the SPAs before-[3] where he promised you that he would never block evade again, and then subsequently went on to create dozens of more SPAs.

- I'll try to take a look later today. The problem is, these are extremely time-consuming given the specific nature of the IP address(es) involved. Any idea if there's perhaps a set of 10 - 50 articles we could just protect instead? I'm wondering if that might be a better approach. --Yamla (talk) 18:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Yamla, I'm not looking for any action against the IPs, it's just that this sockmaster extensively uses proxies to block evade, so I thought that listing some of the ones I've come across may help CUs establish a connection or CU findings might reveal that the sockmaster was operating with these proxies. But just to be clear, I'm only asking CUs to look at the 2 accounts, not the IPs. Would it be easier if I removed the IPs from the socklist? Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 18:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- I removed the IPs. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 18:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Nauman335[edit]
Thanks for the work here as always. I see you closed it but was hoping we could open so it can be evaluated for a behavior block. I think the evidence presented shows they are related and that the main SOCK understands not to use the same IP to avoid a CU. CNMall41 (talk) 18:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Tangential ANI mention[edit]
Well, the instructions tell me to do it, so ...
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Disagreement about blocking of 2601:646:201:57F0::/64. Thank you. Graham87 (talk) 08:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Regarding Special:Diff/1222755351, it might be WP:LTA/SGK, might be another generic LTA though. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 22:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, maybe. A bit more generic a username, though. Still, definitely plausible. --Yamla (talk) 10:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Haploidavey block[edit]
The block lifted for a short while, then was re-imposed. This is why I didn't remove the notice. I'm able to edit when I turn off my VPN, but that leaves me vulnerable. Haploidavey (talk) 10:50, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you need to disable your VPN if you wish to edit here. If you have a compelling need to use a VPN, WP:IPBE may be available to you. Note, though, that simply a desire to hide your IP address is not enough to be granted IPBE. --Yamla (talk) 11:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ha! It might not come to that. You helped me out on a prevous occasion (see my talk, halfway up); I disabled my VPN and the block was cleared a few hours later. I turned the VPN back on, and it has stayed that way, fully protective, for a year or two. Here's hoping for more of the same.Haploidavey (talk) 12:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
