ArbCom has informed me that I am using my CU privileges in ways that violate policy. They have ordered me to limit my checking to "non-discretionary" cases (not easy to define). They have warned me that if I check in a manner that they deem violates policy, my CU privileges will be removed without further warning. |

I disagree with ArbCom's decision, but there's zero I can do about it. Nonetheless, I do not want to work for an organization that (1) hamstrings my ability to prevent disruption caused by socking, (2) micromanages my actions, and (3) is unappreciative of my CU work. For these reasons, I am leaving the project. I'm angry and upset at the moment, so I won't categorically say I will never return, but I don't plan on it. |

New socks of Starbucks6789
Hi, I found three Starbucks6789's sock.
They both foucus on reality show's pages and make same edits especially edit tables. I started a investigations Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/24.183.100.236 and request for CheckUser, but it was declined. ——A675974811 (talk) 12:03, 13 February 2020 (UTC+8)
Sockpuppet
Hi! I just noticed that you rollbacked my tagging of a blocked sockpuppet. Shortly thereafter I realised that I had given the wrong user as the master. Could you please place the appropriate tag? I would be grateful if you could. Thank you! -- JavaHurricane 13:40, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Stop the madness
Can you stop an active edit war and do a temporary or pending change protection to Candidates Tournament 2020, I have no dog in this one but the edit war and dispute is spilling onto other pages as well. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:19, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- I got this. El_C 17:23, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Good stuff, don't know heads or tails of the problem but 50 plus reverts in a day told me there was a problem. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Re: Anonymous User 120.29.117.162
Good day Bbb23!
I dropped by your talkpage to implore you take action on the unconsteuctive edits of 120.29.117.162. The last time I wrote to you regarding the user's editing behavior, it wasn't acted upon nor was a reply given. If you'd go to the talkpage of the user, there's a lot of us that have been asking him to stop from making unconstructive edits but to no avail. He'd ignore these warnings and continue on removing content unconstructively. I believe it really is high time that a sanction be imposed upon the said anonymous user. Hoping for a positive response on this regard. Warmest regards Gardo Versace (talk) 22:07, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- If there is a significant conduct issue, you need to address it on the appropriate noticeboard.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:49, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Bbb23: Alright, duly noted. Thank you again! Warmest regards Gardo Versace (talk) 20:32, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
SR Alamgir Khan
Actually I was contacted by the person who uses the account of SR Alamgir Khan, and he is saying that he does not have multiple accounts and thus he can not use multiple accounts. Can you please help me with the log files or data which suggests that he is done so, along with the account(s) which suggests it. Would be very helpful.--Anbans 585 (talk) 07:27, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Pakistanpedia?
Hey, there, do you do regular checks for Pakistanpedia? I notice several socks at Arij Fatyma and I just blocked a promotional editor Patiparmeshwar. Not sure if they're related, since I'm not terribly familiar with Pakistani subjects, but just thought I'd mention it. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:07, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's technically unlikely that Patiparmeshwar is Pakistanpedia. However, Search Results Web results Aap ki Kachehri, Kiran Bedi ke Saath is Confirmed to Patiparmeshwar, so I blocked the account.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

A Sock from COVID-19 pendadmic outbreak
Bbb23 This guy obviously a sock and one that you kept blocking on the ANI reports and following.Regice2020 (talk) 06:35, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Mikethewhistle-original, again
Hey there, Bbb23. I tagged WWWhowhathere as a suspected sock puppet of Mikethewhistle-original. I was wondering if you could help me identify whether I'm correct in my presumption. Thank you! KyleJoantalk 13:17, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Gibby sock?
Hey, I was wondering if you might be able to look into if Reddit6034 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a sock of the previously blocked user Gibby1242 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)? Their username follows the same pattern, they visually edit and the are obsessed with defying {{Infobox concert}}. It's just too coincidental for me to ignore. livelikemusic talk! 21:28, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- Done --Bbb23 (talk) 21:48, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Bb23: As always, you are magnificent. Hoping you are well, wherever you are, during these unknown times! livelikemusic talk! 21:55, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Re: Reporting of Vandalism committed by IP Users
Good day Bbb23!
As you've instructed I have reported the case of vandalism committed by the IP User 120.29.117.162 and that of another user over at the appropriate notice board as can be seen here and here. However, it was deleted from the reports without it being resolved. I would like to ask why that's the case and what course of action can I do to have the IP users sanctioned for chronic unconstructive editing and/or vandalism.
Warmest regards

Dimples?
Hey there, could BryceLahela be a Dimpletisha sock? They feel very socky to me. User page creation on edit #2, here in the recent edit history I see tons of Dimpletisha socks. Here they fluff up Harshad Chopda's article with some award mill "Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival Award", which is erroneously (on purpose?) piggy-backing on a link to the real Dadasaheb Phalke national award. Smells of promotion, to me, especially with the fluffy quotes they've added, etc. Dimpletisha socks have previously been obsessed with Harshad Chopda and logging every milled award he's received like here in 2019. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:35, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- You posted this while I was checking. I noticed the account because of the most recent post to your Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:43, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi! I'm the one who created that page. I'm sorry I don't really understand why the page's been deleted, can you explain to me please, Thank you. Johhnyfrankie13 (talk) 04:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- It was tagged and deleted per WP:CSD#A7. It was a rather straightforward deletion.--Bbb23 (talk) 10:52, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Talk page access revocation
Hey Bbb23, hope you are well. It looks like MalucoWikipededista (talk · contribs · block log) is abusing their talk page privilege after your CU block. You might want to keep an eye out. Thanks. -- LuK3 (Talk) 18:20, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Should have revoked it from the get-go as he's done this before. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:25, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Would you take a look at what is going on at the AfD for Gérard Gertoux? I'm concerned that a lot of ips and/or users with few other edits are !voting Keep there. Some of it may be just canvassing, but the ips suggest that there may at least be some meat-puppetry. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:29, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- I don't see anything for me to do there.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:31, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks sincerely for taking a look! Russ Woodroofe (talk) 00:01, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Am I paranoid?
Hey there, FathiNaseer looks like a sock to me, but I don't have a master. They showed up suddenly to start building sandboxed content about Neha Kakkar, their second edit shows that they have some mastery over our citation tool. They're presenting POV balance here. I also don't see any obvious sockmaster candidates at Neha Kakkar, although Ponyo did protect the article for sockpuppetry. Am I just being paranoid? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:27, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- I find the user suspicious, too, but they don't remind me of anyone, and I can't find any evidence of socking.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:57, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

FIH bone
FIH bone is another sock with no master. Meaningless user page. Lots of small edits that could have been made in one pass. Looks to me like they're trying to game their way into extended confirmed status. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:09, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

ArbCom and me
ArbCom has informed me that I am using my CU privileges in ways that violate policy. They have ordered me to limit my checking to "non-discretionary" cases (not easy to define). They have warned me that if I check in a manner that they deem violates policy, my CU privileges will be removed without further warning.
I disagree with ArbCom's decision, but there's zero I can do about it. Nonetheless, I do not want to work for an organization that (1) hamstrings my ability to prevent disruption caused by socking, (2) micromanages my actions, and (3) is unappreciative of my CU work. For these reasons, I am leaving the project. I'm angry and upset at the moment, so I won't categorically say I will never return, but I don't plan on it.
