Hey, you blocked this user for personal attacks. However, you've also voted in an ANI against sanctions for the user who was the target of the personal attacks. It seems to me like you're too closely related to this case and it might violate WP:INVOLVED, but I could be wrong. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 05:05, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
First of all I see no rationale. Second, I'm not seeing any attempt at trying any other measures first as required by WP:ECP; standard restrictions seem like they would have been effective. Please adjust accordingly. Buffs (talk) 03:13, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
I would like to create a page for Jack Massey Welsh, but you have protected it. Please respond! --Makenzie 06 (talk) 22:24, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
I have given this user his last warning regarding vandalism as you can see so may I ask, if you can keep a close watch on him? I will notify you if the user is doing any more vandalism and you can carry the consequences for the user.

Hello ST47, You told me to denounce the vandalism after you have blocked this user, well i ask you for your help, this user (User:Shyobyus) has been placing lies on articles for the last two days, I have reverted them and immediately he has been reverting my editions in a lot of pages claiming that my editions are irrelevant when it is not, I ask you to investigate him, because we are only in a war of editions like in 5 pages, and more pages because it gets into all the articles I edit and dont let me work. I had the same problem with this blocked account User:Generic515 and three more puppets of this account (User:GrandLucky, User:JkMastru, User:Voche537), since he appears every 3 weeks with a new account, I say it because he always attacks the same related pages (about Mexico, mainly Mexico City) and also to my person, ever. Thanks.--BrugesFR (talk) 22:20, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
This is interesting, all the blocked accounts working on the same Template:Political Divisions of Mexico including the user in question, the template is not edited by anyone else.--BrugesFR (talk) 22:33, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
This recent edition of this user is a clear threat towards me Revision as of 00:17, 16 November 2019 (edit) (undo) (thank) Shyobyus "the last time that you touch the Colonial Mexico articles".

Hi ST47,
Hello! What would you say to extending the block you previously gave here? As we know, they have abused multiple accounts, and since then they are just here to promote the Aschenborn articles. I wasn't sure why someone participating in sockpuppeting would not get an indef, although I do respect your admin decisions.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Dieselducy.0 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I was about to take this to COIN, but it's so egregious that I wondered what you would do. User Jambonec has been adding promotional links to an online store to Emek for what seems like ages. This first happened with the addition of this to the lede "New release gig posters, prints and merchandise are available for purchase through his online store at: https://www.emekstudios.com" back in 2014. I discovered them and took them out today, but they added them back today. I warned them today, but he says I am incorrect and "Providing links to his direct website is a service to the public"... Let me know if I should go to COIN or if you prefer to take care of it! Thanks.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:42, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Why was the page deleted? Original argument -> lack of references to external sources -> was satisfied by updating the article with legitimate sources. The delete discussion, last proof provided, was NOT refuted by anyone. 0xSkyy (talk) 20:05, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia's policy is that each of these processes is not decided based on a head count, but on the strength of the arguments presented and on the formation of consensus. Because the point of these processes is to form consensus, it is much better for editors to explain their reasoning, discuss civilly with other editors, and possibly compromise than it is to sign a one-word opinion. "Votes" without reasoning may carry little to no weight in the formation of a final consensus.
Notability is demonstrated using reliable sources according to the corresponding Wikipedia guideline. Reliable sources generally include mainstream news media and major academic journals, and exclude self-published sources, particularly when self-published on the internet. The foundation of this theory is that credible sources "exercise some form of editorial control."
"I" has asked for a deletion review of Xiaomi Mi Pad. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.0xSkyy (talk) 23:28, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, ST47. Just want to say thank you for your assistance on my request for sockpuppetry investigation. It's my first time to make such request, and I must say I am still groping in the dark how to go about it. But thank you for your assistance, the process has become much clearer for me now. Thank you, I appreciate it.
@ST47: I appreciate your work and also got what you meant in your last note. Yes, I would gladly help. Thank you.
Migsmigss (talk) 21:23, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
I wanted to look into it at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Rvoskoboynikov, but there's nothing there. Did you conduct the case and close it all by yourself, without any other input, and no defence by the accused? Ain't that a violation of the rules? I'm very concerned about pressure applied on users participating in AfDs and think that any administrative actions surrounding these should be totally transparent, to prevent suspicion of manipulations. So, I would like to know if it was you who added all those unsigned notes to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Media_bias_against_Bernie_Sanders. Imho this practice effectively is a harrassment of the participants and should be subject to oversight by the stewards. Gray62 (talk) 11:26, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello!
I'm in a slightly complicated situation and I was wondering if you could help me out... I'm a university student and the final coursework one of my courses (Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies) consists of writing a new article on Wikipedia. On November 27 my article draft (Security Token Offering) was refused. On the following day, I added more information to it in order to fix what was requested, but it hasn't been reviewed since. I understand Wikipedia's policy estimates up to 4 months for review, but the professor said today that everyone that doesn't get an accepted article until December 20 will fail the course (even though that is a bit out of my hands). Thus, I was wondering if we could somehow work together to make some sort of meaningful contribution happen until then?
Sorry for bothering you this way, and thanks for your time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucasvrma (talk • contribs) 17:26, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

I still don't understand why my account is blocked or what to do about it. You wrote that it was because of a pvn. I don't really understand the Wikipedia article explaining what at PVN is, but in any case the Pvn you cited is described on the Wikipedia article about it as, if I get it right, an ad blocker. Why should a Wikipedia account-holding computer not use an ad blocker? in any case, I had never heard of the PVN you mentioned. I searched for it on my computer, and nothing came up. How can I find it to remove it? Kdammers (talk) 03:13, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey ST, thanks for getting the latest Arthurcurry70 sock. In your opinion, would the edits made by the others here and here constitute significant changes? They seem mostly cosmetic to me and I know that if I cleaned up an article that turned out to have been created by a sock/UPE, I wouldn't mind being deleted. Thoughts? I'm really not a fan of these UPE people. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:37, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
It appears I’m currently blocked from editing because of this IP range block. That range belongs to Cloudflare and I’m using their Cloudflare Warp VPN product (see https://1.1.1.1/) which has both free and paid versions. This provides extra security, speed and IPv6 which I would not normally get through my ISP.
The same IP range may also belong to the servers which handle Cloudflare workers – "serverless" containers which allow custom user code. I can see that these could potentially be used for abuse, which may be why they were blocked in the first place. But I’d like to request a review to see if an alternative or perhaps a smaller range could be applied instead. My IP in this case is 8.39.202.49, but I could not post this message until I disabled the VPN. Thanks in advance. SimonEast (talk) 08:57, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
