Osourdounmou

Thanks for checking the accounts connected with Osourdounmou. The two accounts you blocked a few minutes ago and two others (Tschir and Amarakuja) were blocked today on sqwiki/Albanian Wikipedia as socks of Goelia (whose editing history shows the same obsession with renaming Albanian and Ottoman articles and editing Albanian religious sites articles as that of Osourdounmou. Both of them are linked with Germany). Might a rangeblock or sth other to prevent Osourdounmou from creating more accounts be needed? Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:14, 24 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I guess a lack of response means "No". Thanks. Ktrimi991 (talk) 09:10, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Ktrimi991: Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you. I always have a little trouble answering these kinds of questions. I, like most CheckUsers when we run a check, generally take all reasonable steps to prevent further disruption. I know that's a bit vague, but it's the best I can comfortably tell you.--Bbb23 (talk) 11:40, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
No worries. I understand the situation and I greatly appreciate your work on Wikipedia. Thanks again  . Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 15:22, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Deleting the English page "Webmasters Europe"

But it exists in German, does Wikipedia have different rules for different languages?

Why do you think it does not "credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject"?

Are standardized tests for web designers and developers unimportant?! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webmasters_Europe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atheerhuwaish (talkcontribs) 16:04, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) Yes, each language's wiki has its own policies. On the English wiki we've been plagued with advertising over the years and we take a strong stand against it. Articles need to be supported by reliable, verifiable, independent. All the sources in your article were from, or closely related to, the business. The lack of any such sources, the business' failure to satisfy the notability requirements of WP:NCORP, the abundance of links to the company's website are compelling reasons to delete the article.
"standardized tests for web designers and developers" may be important. That doesn't mean that this business is.
Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 18:34, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

SPI

Hello. A sock you blocked a few months ago appears to have returned. It seems to be near DUCK territory to me but the SPI has went without response for over a week while the accounts are actively editing. Hrodvarsson (talk) 00:34, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

User:X027

I got a gut feeling this might be a sock, Govvy (talk) 09:56, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hiya Bbb23, I just got a message on my talk page from a User:ANUCH6F, I am a 100% sure it's a sockpuppet of X027, cheers. Govvy (talk) 11:38, 30 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Discussion at User talk:Jimbo Wales#Conflicts of Interests / Vandalism (Paid Advocacy)

  You are invited to join the discussion at User talk:Jimbo Wales#Conflicts of Interests / Vandalism (Paid Advocacy). For one of the SPI you have been involved. ✝iѵɛɳ२२४०†ลℓк †๏ мэ 11:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Template:Z48Reply

Yes, please check that out, Bbb23. It's the same sockmaster that has been harassing Tiven2240. Softlavender (talk) 11:30, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Boing Said Zebedee blocked the user as an obvious sock, but you might want to take a look at the thread anyway. Softlavender (talk) 12:17, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • It's more complicated than that. Without going into all the details, users shouldn't expect that I will reply to their e-mail by e-mail (I sometimes reply on their Talk pages).--Bbb23 (talk) 14:41, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

My article was be deleted in sandbox

Hi Bbb23, It seems that I was identified as “Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host".12:21, 26 October 2018 Bbb23 (talk | contribs) deleted page User:Acwwqq1/sandbox (U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host) (thank) Firstly, I am a student and this is my assignment for this semester. Wikipedia's users had deleted my article three times.I am very angry even I don't know what I should say now. I tried to re-edit lots of times and proofread my article. However, How did you do it? You did not hesitate to delete my article.IT IS VERY HARD TO WRITE DO YOU KNOW??? IT SPENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF TIME!!! I am not an person who use English as first language. Creating a article is very difficult for me. I mean I need encourage when I writing rather than delete without a reasonable reason. I admit that the article I wrote before is not very good, but I tried to correct the issue that pointed out. Here is a question is that is it right to write an assignment in my Sandbox rather than move to draft or other places? Please restore my article.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Llywelyn2000

Please explain to me the rationale for your closing this investigation with no action. Had this been any other puppeteer and his meatpuppet they would have been facing lengthy blocks, and that ignores the fact that the puppetmaster has been caught in two obvious lies in trying to cover his ass. Your decision is, to put it mildly, odd. Pyrope 14:04, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I already read your unnecessarily vitriolic comment at the SPI. Please don't add to it in other venues (like here). I believe my decision is reasonable based on all the circumstances. Let it go.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:26, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think my request here was polite. I am asking for your policy-based justification for taking no action against blatant behaviour that would have earned most editors a significant block. I will let it go once you have explained. Pyrope 14:31, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Your request here was polite. Your vitriol was directed at the user, both at SPI and here. You're going to have to let it go on my Talk page (and at the SPI) because I have nothing more to say.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:33, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

restored article

I am supposed to let you know that I restored Transport Matters Party earlier today. You speedy deleted it earlier in the year. I have restored it and I and several other editors have hopefully addressed its relevance as a minor party that is registered and will (probably) field candidates at next month's election. --Scott Davis Talk 12:32, 29 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for laundering the Homealone1990 socks. I never file SPIs because the process is too difficult. Kendall-K1 (talk) 14:36, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

KingOfTheForest24

Hi Bbb23. I don't have a strong conviction on this one. But their short contrib log suggests they have been around before. Unfortunately, if they are a sock I have no clue who the master is. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:01, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
