January 2007

One came Christmas day, no response when I emailed back asking for a clarification of what they wanted my help with. Then I got two on the 22nd, half an hour apart. They're all just filled with rubbish randomly extracted from wiki pages. I think it could be a bot using the Emailuser function to get you to reply. When you reply, your email address is revealed. Blocking it wouldn't do anything, it could still email users. I could of course be completely wrong on that though. Archer7 - talk 09:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:Bobo now unblocked, CheckUser shows that user is not a Kimberly Ashton sockpuppet. CheckUser did detect a vandal sockpuppet on the IP, whcih stopped after two warnings. Despite this, I think it's fine to unblock, the user seems perfectly harmless. Archer7 - talk 19:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • We have found sockpuppets of Kimberly Ashton operating on 71.231.130.56. (Dear users, let me explain why I blocked these users: If you look closely, all these socks give large amounts of personal information. They then create another sock to vandalise, only to revert vandalism with the main sockpuppet. This modus operandi was seen in cases like AbbyItalia and Bobo and Anita and Kimberly Ashton. As such, the IP that these socks operate on was found to be static and has been blocked for six months.) Any queries can be directed to Archer7 or me, Tdxiang. Thanks.-- Tdxiang 03:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Apologised to Bobo. But one thng: How did AbbyItalia know everything that Bobo did, including sockpuppetery?-- Tdxiang 05:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Definitely an interesting question. Also of interest would be the timing of the latest incident. Bobo gets unblocked and returns. A couple hours after the first edits, the "You are Kimberly Ashton" (YaKA ? ) vandal starts attacking pages Bobo edited. Bobo and the Yaka vandal get into a minor edit skirmish. Yaka gets banned and Bobo stops editing at the same time. Highly coincidental timing there. Could just be weird luck; it is certainly not sockpuppetting (apparently checkuser shows separate IP's), but the possibility of meatpuppetting is is still there. -- Creol(talk) 07:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made it similar, but looks like that was the default text anyway (It's a new Mediawiki) Blockinblox - talk 21:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It looks the same here as it did when I created the page on English Wikipedia. I had to put the pipes in myself. J Di 22:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
