Hi,

Can you please merge Sport shooting at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification with Shooting at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification?

Thanks Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you're asking for a WP:HISTMERGE, it's not something I handle. You can make a request at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.-- Ponyobons mots 15:46, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Vandalism of my edits removing resume-like content

edit

Hello Ponyo, I was wondering if you might have a moment to have a look at Marty Munsch. You had protected it on Feb. 13 and as soon as it expired, a resume-like version reappeared thanks to an anonymous (IP) user. I attempted to restore it to an encyclopedic status and remove unsourced material on June 29 and a few days later, another anonymous user again vandalized my edits with no comments or discussion. This has been going on for over a decade with a couple of administrators getting involved. Rather than get into an edit war, I thought I'd ask if you could help. btw I did make a protection request to WP:RPPI but it was Declined (Not enough recent disruptive activity).Xblkx (talk) 13:00, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

This article has had a history of unsourced, poorly sourced, and COI edits for at least 14 years, the latest of which were made via VPN. I've added long-term semi-protection to drive the edit requests to the talk page for review.-- Ponyobons mots 15:57, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, were you going to block this user? I just found this edit of yours to William Daniell on my watchlist and noticed they weren't blocked. Graham87 (talk) 02:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Graham87: The account was already globally locked when I got to it.-- Ponyobons mots 15:26, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oops, I completely missed that, partly due to the way I navigate the contributions page with my screen reader ... I'm not sure what can be done about except for me to check more carefully. Graham87 (talk) 03:42, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and thanks for the sock blocks. Here's another one, if you're interested. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 18:32, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Got it. I've protected the article, draft, and targets as well.-- Ponyobons mots 19:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Changed my mind and CSD G7'ed the draft.-- Ponyobons mots 19:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

What do you think

edit

Hello Ponyo, What can you say about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SafariScribe#Oh_no_(Suck-puppet_account) because I can see you were one of the admin who declined the block user request User Talk:MarkIblog as per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MarkIblog/Archive. Gabriel (talk to me ) 19:36, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please present your evidence at the relevant SPI for review. This case is stale from a checkuser perspective. -- Ponyobons mots 19:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, hot enough for you? Supposed to break tomorrow - fingers crossed. Do you think Assad Jibran is SheryOfficial? Significant focus on Islam-related stuff, but the main thing - and, honestly, I'm not sure how common it is for SO socks - is they keep undoing redirects. I mean, I ask you, I know I'm out of it, but who ever heard of Sapiosexual?--Bbb23 (talk) 21:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Looks like Lazy-restless. Does that make sense? I'm not familiar with them.-- Ponyobons mots 21:52, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
They do seem to have a preoccupation with sexuality and religion (here - note also editing of intellect - and here, and here for example).-- Ponyobons mots 22:11, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, similar Islam focus with a touch prurience. Not as many socks as SO, but now one more - I'll block and tag. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:15, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for blocking the political nut

Was just about to report him. Love the ghibli username, ponyo is a super cute movie uwu Heyallkatehere (talk) 19:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Agree with the Studio Ghibli love, but my username predates the film.-- Ponyobons mots 19:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Revoke talk page access?

edit

User talk:96.59.79.27 - still making unblock requests that call Wikipedians "biased."

I assume that talk page access can also be revoked and/or the block extended, due to this reason.

Thanks! Rusty 🐈 14:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It was one comment in an appeal; I don't think we need to modify the block yet. Will do if it continues though.-- Ponyobons mots 15:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TyHaliburtn

edit

Hi, speaking of the comment you made at Northwestern Air Flight 738, I was wondering if you checked SignorPignolini. I found them in the deleted edit history of JSX Flight 284 (now a redirect). There are quite a few accounts in that history, including A randomdood, whose edits also struck me. My guess is they are not part of the same sock farm, if for no other reason they weren't uncovered in your checks. Also possible they're socks of each other. With aviation disasters, it could just have interested a bunch of random doods or dudettes, or they could be socks flying under the radar. I'll stop now while I'm behind.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The aviation disaster arena is similar to hurricane and storm groups: the passion burns hot and bright! I didn't check Signor because their edits run counter the master and it's not TyHaliburtn's style to run GH/BH (as far as I've seen).-- Ponyobons mots 20:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi

I edit without an account on English Wikipedia and logged into my french account on here to edit yesterday Frenchuser232 (talk) 20:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what this has to do with me, specifically?-- Ponyobons mots 21:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
You speak French n'est-ce pas? Belbury thinks they're a sock.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:45, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oiu, mais je ne sais pas pourquois ce/cette utilisateur m'a contacté. Sort of random, non? Anyway, I'm counting down the last hour or so until I'm off on holiday. I'll wave to the Rockies for you (and Yamla too, if I spot him from upon high.-- Ponyobons mots 21:53, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Wooo! I'm going back to the Rockies tomorrow for a couple of nights! Have a great vacation. --Yamla (talk) 21:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you're anywhere in the vast vicinity of Waterton Lakes National Park shout real loud and I'll shout back.-- Ponyobons mots 22:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not this time. Jasper this time. But I hope to visit Waterton later this year or sometime next! --Yamla (talk) 22:07, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'll tell the Prince of Wales you said "hi".-- Ponyobons mots 22:30, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
