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)

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)[reply]

 Done --Bbb23 (talk) 21:48, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@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)[reply]

I have a suspected feeling Jordanpf93 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) might be another one, based on their editing patterns. livelikemusic talk! 00:06, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hollywood Beauty Awards Page

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)[reply]

It was tagged and deleted per WP:CSD#A7. It was a rather straightforward deletion.--Bbb23 (talk) 10:52, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Should have revoked it from the get-go as he's done this before. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:25, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gérard Gertoux

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)[reply]

I don't see anything for me to do there.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:31, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks sincerely for taking a look! Russ Woodroofe (talk) 00:01, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – April 2020

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • There is an ongoing request for comment to streamline the source deprecation and blacklisting process.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold a Arbcom RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. A draft RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC (Draft) and not open to comments from the community yet. Interested editors can comment on the RfC itself on its talk page.

Miscellaneous

  • The WMF has begun a pilot report of the pages most visited through various social media platforms to help with anti-vandalism and anti-disinformation efforts. The report is updated daily and will be available through the end of May.

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)[reply]

I don't have good technical evidence for this, but do you think it's Shivamroy22 (talk · contribs · count)?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Orchomen

They've now shown up as Barrys optician. Can we please get a block? Thanks! Amaury • 18:27, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Best wishes to all who do good work here. I will not be responding to messages posted to my Talk page. Bbb23 (not signing to avoid archival)

I hope you change your mind, Bbb23. You are the Checkuser I turn to whenever I have questions. I hope you return. Liz Read! Talk! 01:36, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Bbb23, I continue to be impressed by your work, and wish you would stay. The political issues with being a checkuser must be tricky and hard to evaluate. Not every case will be clearcut. But you probably knew that! EdJohnston (talk) 01:54, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I simply did not need this terrible news in the midst of this crisis. Bbb23, I hope you reevaluate your departure and you come back asap. Thank you for the excellent CU work you have done on all the SPIs through the years, and especially the many times you helped me in the SPIs I had opened. Thank you also for all the socks your CU pixie dust tool stopped in their tracks. Take care and stay safe. Dr. K. 02:40, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are one of the best and most valuable admins that the project has. I certainly understand your reasons for leaving and I will be among the many who will be glad if you return. But absolutely do what is best for you. My very best wishes to you and yours and I hope that you stay safe and well. MarnetteD|Talk 02:50, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's hard to believe anything as crazy as this dated April 1. Message from Arbcom to community: we don't care, socks are not our problem. It's painful to think that Arbcom has accomplished what trolls have been trying to achieve for years. Johnuniq (talk) 03:05, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
what What WHAT??? This is indeed a disturbing and sad turn of events. Thanks for all you have done here! DMacks (talk) 05:07, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • ArbCom, wtf? Bbb23, please take the time, but we need you back. Without people like you, very likely exactly you, we'll have NOTHERE's laughing at our faces while we wait for the SPI backlog to never clear. Usedtobecool ☎️ 14:33, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • ArbCom seems determined to get rid of our best admins. Please come back soon. Softlavender (talk) 17:00, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very sorry to hear it. I hope you do return. I, along with others, appreciate your work as a CU. Crossroads -talk- 18:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Peace, Bbb. If and when you do ever feel like returning you'll be more than welcome by a large majority of those aware of your work here. And thank you for making transparent what ArbCom intended to be "a private advisory note to" or "a quiet word with" you, according to some of the committee's members. ---Sluzzelin talk 19:34, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry to hear that Bbb23. You do very fine work. I hope you will reconsider, and come back please! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:19, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm extremely saddened to see this, You were beyond amazing with the CU work you did and I truly mean that, You're a fantastic admin and a fantastic editor too, I hope one day you'll return but in the meantime I wish you all the very best, Thank you for your CU work and admin work across the project, Take care, Dave /// –Davey2010Talk 23:21, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upsetting to hear. Sorry to lose you, Bbb23, you always did great work from my perspective. Editors are valued assets. They devote shitloads of time for free. They rarely even require expressions of appreciation. Vandals, sock operators, undisclosed paid editing rings, shady marketing and PR firms, etc., all needlessly suck hours and hours out of the lives of these valuable assets with their vampiric trespassing. Wikipedia needs to either come up with automated ways to identify potential disruptive users to justify CU checks so that regular editors don't, or give CUs some extra leeway. The vampires are thieves. That's my emotional complaint having not read the ArbCom stuff. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:46, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sigh. Good job ArbCom.</sarcasm> You'll be missed. I hope to see you back. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:33, 3 April 2020 (UTC)dissatifaction with the way thia[reply]
  • I always knew that Wikipedia was messed up right at the top, but this just confirms it when a skilled admin like Bbb23 is forced out. Wikipedia is going to be so much more messed up now and worse off. This feels like someone is leaving the gates open for all the trolls to invade. Govvy (talk) 06:56, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for all of your contributions to the project Bbb23. I hope to see you around in the future. -- LuK3 (Talk) 16:59, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your CU work was indispensable and will be sorely missed. Better to retire before the Committee summarily takes any tools away from you - which is their new approach. Do whatever you think is right to demonstrate your dissatisfaction with the way this Committee is now policing the project, I won't beg you to come back but I thank you heartily for all the time and experience you have thanklessly devoted to tracking trolls and banishing other miscreants. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Terribly unfortunate. I hope one day you may choose to come back, but regardless if you do or do not, all the work you've done so far is much appreciated indeed. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for all you did for the project. I personally quite liked you, and I hope you do come back. I hope ArbCom re-thinks their position. TelosCricket (talk) 18:53, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ridiculous. Many thanks for all the work you've done for Wikipedia. The manual checkuser process is already suboptimal and your work was of incredible value. At current time it's difficult for me to judge on if the complaint had any legitimacy. The result is, nevertheless, technical disruption, unless you keep on. While we allow arbcom a lot of trust in general, as a computer-science person I don't think their role assumes any technical competency in the field (it is dubious that they could micromanage you or even properly analyse the relevant history themselves internally). Wikipedia:CheckUser#Grounds for checking does allow legitimate use of fair judgement, and I'm sure that most of your actions protected the project. —PaleoNeonate – 19:44, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I have striked some of my comment that I considered out of touch after reading this. There does not seem to be a reason for a case about CU or admin status at current time (and CUs appear divided on a few points themselves). I still hope you consider donating your precious time, that as you know from the above, is highly appreciated. Thanks again, —PaleoNeonate – 23:36, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

Sounds like you need it. Hope there is a day you come back, best wishes and appreciate for your hardwork here. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 22:11, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
