ExclusiveEditor

Hi Yamla, I'm sure you're aware of the discussion at ANI about unblocking ExclusiveEditor. As I've made clear, I'm strongly opposed to it, but, unfortunately, if the consensus is to unblock them, there's nothing I can do about it (except stew a little - I'm good at stewing). Anyway, given the behavior at issue here, I just wanted to make sure that you or someone else has run a check of the user to make sure they have not been evading their block or socking in the time leading up to their block. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I'll take a look. Thanks. -- Yamla ( talk) 13:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
There's ExclusiveEditor2 but that was a declared alt and hasn't been involved since ExclusiveEditor was blocked. Nothing else in the logs. Let me know if you think this information belongs at WP:ANI and I'll post there. -- Yamla ( talk) 14:01, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I think it's fine, no one's mentioned it. If they do, you can chime in. Thank you for checking.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

CheckUser

Hello,

On the article Hatha yoga, there is an IP user and a newly created account which appear to be the same person making the same edits (removing content with no explanation). I'm wondering if you could take a look at that and what would be my next steps?

Thanks,

Also, for some reason, the logged in user "thanked" me, likely by mistake. I am puzzled... Myrealnamm ( 💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Also, review 2409:4073:2E81:1097:0:0:644B:4301 and 2409:4073:2004:512b::d2c:f0ac to be the same people (or related) because they keep making same/similar edits to the article. Thanks. Myrealnamm ( 💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 01:19, 17 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Rakachii was blocked by another admin. I'm not permitted to tie IP addresses to specific editors but if you think Rakachii is starting to evade their block, let me know. -- Yamla ( talk) 11:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC) reply
The article is also semiprotected now, so that should help. The Wordsmith Talk to me 19:34, 17 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Revdel on Favonian's talk page?

Hi, Yamla. The BKFIP that you blocked today for 6 months had also posted that same message on Favonian's talk page with the 1,436 bytes. Can you revdel those revisions in the revision history? I assume Favonian is busy right now and can't do it himself. Thanks. NoobThreePointOh ( talk) 17:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I forgot to inform you this morning, so I'm doing it now itself. NoobThreePointOh ( talk) 17:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Done! -- Yamla ( talk) 18:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Bourenane Chahine

Though they phrased it incorrectly, their appeal is based on attacks made on them by Lades2222, not me. They traded the insults tit-for-tat and both ended up indefed. -- Ponyo bons mots 22:24, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Fair enough. I'm happy to see talk page access was revoked, there. -- Yamla ( talk) 11:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Time on your hands...

Ha! Thanks for the e-mail. I do care, although not a lot, even more interesting/mysterious being the user who posted to my Talk page has now been CU-blocked by Spicy. Your e-mail was so thorough. I wish everyone connected the dots as well as you do. Thanks! -- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:59, 30 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Oh, not so mysterious, just looked at the user's Talk page. I guess I'm not cynical enough.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 18:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I used to work in the field of computer security. This counts as "fun" in my world. :) -- Yamla ( talk) 18:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC) reply
