Also please, in all honesty, human to human, answer me this: how long until ANYBODY is able to add ANYTHING to the Balkan in relation to invention or discovery history again? How long until some random person can read the hair clipper article, see the credit to Bizumić, and add it to the invention Category without being labeled a sock? Because in all fairness, the unnecessary hate for me as if I've defiled your home, is stepping in the way of credit for an entire cultural region. |

Prince Edward Island Route 15 Comment
Hi. Sorry my bad. I forgot to fix it when I copied it. Thanks. JLOPO (talk) 22:42, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- @JLOPO: Thanks! I was just about to leave you a message. Thanks for filling in the talk page in the first place, I made a few other articles and forgot to do it. Cheers. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:43, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

SPI case on Front page
Hello. Can you please tell why my SPI case[1] is not showing on the front page at WP:SPI? Have I done anything wrong? Thanks. Ramaswar57 (talk) 17:36, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Ramaswar57: Hello! It looks like you did everything right, but the SPI page transcludes a table from another page that can be slow to update. If you want to force it, load Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cases/Overview and do a force-reload (usually Ctrl+Shift+R) in your browser. Note that that only forces it to reload for you, the server may still display a cached version for other users for a few minutes. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:41, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- It is showing now. Thank you very much for the kind response. Ramaswar57 (talk) 17:45, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
Kosszonom szepen
Thanks for the wb. There is always a time when my infuriation at minor errors and slips and stuff in Wikipedia outweigh, over the days, my infuriation at the people who cannot see why I am infuriated. I do think there are things wrong with banning someone immediately when they voice any legal concern – because then they have no chance to explain themselves, without subterfuge, before it gets out of hand and goes to court. Nevertheless, let that pass for now, I have backed down graciously although with rather a primary school finger telling me off.
You'll be pleased, or at least not surprised, that in the meantime I have redecorated my study and installed a new second-hand computer with a new second-hand hifi and a new second-hand cat. (Nah, actually it is the same cat, nobody would give me a trade-in). The cat quite likes cheddar and fortunately Hungarian Lidl has some nice strong English cheddar, he likes it much more than the local cheese (although he likes that too). I have been doing lots of painting and decorating and doing up the house while my wife has been working abroad, got two and a half rooms done and new electrics and stuff, so have not been exactly idle, but she can break things about as quick as I can fix them. I have painted nice rather turneresque violent seascape mural 15 feet (4.6 m) by 12 feet (3.7 m) on my next door neighbour's walls that face my study, with his consent cos he can't see that wall but it needed re-stuccoing anyway (strange Hungarians put plaster on the outside of the walls, so I did that) but the sea I painted at the bottom gives me a bit of mal de mer, perhaps I should concrete it back in again and have hovercraft and a hoverport instead of the tall ships and stuff. Still as eccentric, and still I hope that eccentricity is as valuable to wikipedia as it always has been, like a good spider lurking in corners and grabbing all the little bits of flotsam that come by so they don't bug other people. (If you can use flotsam for bugs floating in the air rather than things floating on the sea, not sure).
I had a great re-entry doing a rather uncontroversial article at WP:PNT from Spanish to English, which turned out to be a one-woman revolutionary party, so was not quite as uncontroversial as I first thought.. hey ho, I will immerse myself into the intelligentsia at RfD for a while, if that is OK with you.
Hope all is well with you and yours in Canadaland. Si Trew (talk) 16:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hey ho, Si! I'm genuinely glad that you've found your way back. While you've been out, the wife and I and our cats gave up on the big city and moved a little over a thousand miles away, closer to you I suppose, to a cute house in a beautiful city in Canada's smallest province, where she works in theatre and I work in looking for work. I've been doing a fair bit of house work myself, and growing a proper vegetable garden. On the other side of it I've been pretty inactive around here, and pretty well absent from RfD, partly due to being busy and partly due to a bad internet connection. Truth be told I'm tired of the Neelix drama and endeavouring to stay out of it as much as I possibly can, and at the same time trying to actually work on some content. My attention's been on sockpuppet investigations and on topics around my new location which I think deserve some coverage, like a draft I'm working on of an old French colonial road which I ended up on entirely by accident some time ago. Anyway I'm sure I'll run into you around here at some point, RfD is sure to draw me back in before terribly long. And the maple leaf emoji changed, so you'll be spared pages peppered with them at least for a time. All the best. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:26, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
27century
Sorry, I checked 27century for prior blocks, but didn't realise that there was an open SPI. I blocked User:FredericDe and User:Pablo Linz as duck blocks. I see that FredericDe was the account in the SPI - I had been looking into Pablo Linz and saw the connection with 27century, and then wondered about the article completed in 27century's sandbox, so made the same connection that Blythwood (and subsequently you) made with FredericDe. Pablo Linz is a clear paid editor, but also has sufficient editing similarities to 27century to have triggered this in the first place.
I've been finding that indefinitely blocking paid editors who (generally) disclose on their main account just leads to them relying entirely on throw-away socks and not disclosing at all, so I was hoping to convince 27century to stick to the one account and meet the relevant policies instead. It may be overly optimistic, though. - Bilby (talk) 23:12, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Bilby: I agree, just blocking these paid editors outright seems counterproductive, then they just become a pain the ass to clean up after. 27century does seem like the sort of editor who could be convinced to abide by policies, after all they did disclose when they were asked to. On the other hand, making alternate accounts to hide their conflict of interest is an escalation in misbehaviour, and in my opinion a strong message is needed to correct that. I don't think anyone would be upset if you tried to coach the user while they are blocked (pinging Vanjagenije again just in case). Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 00:22, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm very comfortable with the block - it is warranted, and I seriously considered it anyway. Longer but not indefinite blocks don't seem to work - I tired that with another paid editor, and they started using socks with only a week to go before it expired, so I think the current length is a good one. I'll try talking more and see how it goes. I had hoped that they would end up following policy, so it is worth a go. - Bilby (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Reg move of SPI
You moved the filing here, but the original move of the SPI was because this account was unrelated to the farm. Here, I'm specifically asking about this account as the other one (and the associated farm) has no bearing on this case as they are definitely not related. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 01:30, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi there SpacemanSpiff, thanks for pointing out my error. I'd like to correct this but I'm not quite sure what's going on. Are you saying that you want to investigate Itsbalaa and Lakshmikandh as socks of Editor 2050, and this has nothing to do with Abhinand1234? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 01:45, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yup, that's it. This all came about because of an article I had to delete and salt, it's been a problem for over six months now, all courtesy of these three and a few other (now stale) accounts. The Abhinand one is more interested in Malayalam actresses than Tamil ones. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 01:51, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, I think I've corrected it. The notice about the moved case is a template and I don't think I can change it, but I'll see what I can do. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 02:08, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
