User talk:Dppowell/PPP

Welcome! Questions and comments below. Dppowell 02:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I've asked Jayjg, an administrator who has dealt extensively with Panairjdde, to stop by and make sure I'm not breaking any rules here. Dppowell 02:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome aboard, Palffy. And thanks for sending out those other invites! It's been a while since I've had a major confrontation with him on Roman history articles, but I'm not surprised that he's made so many "friends" on football articles. Dppowell 06:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Do you mind giving me a quick overview as to how I can revert specific edits using pop-ups? Do I need to edit my preferences to turn those on somehow? --Palffy 13:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

It's super-easy. Just follow the instructions in the second line at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. It takes five seconds. They seem to work really well with Firefox...not so well with Safari (I'm on a Mac). Don't know about IE. Dppowell 13:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Jayjg nominally on board

Jayjg has expressed his support for our efforts here, so I'm pretty confident that our goals are consistent with WP policy.

Just reverted about 20 edits by the latest sock, User:BirdsCover, which Jayjg identified a few hours ago. Dppowell 03:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocks caused by Panairjdde

He directly caused me to be blocked on October 31, 2006 and November 8, 2006. I think all the blocks he has caused should be automatically overturned. Kingjeff 17:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that's a worthwhile argument, KJ, but there's probably not much this little group can do about it. Jayjg might have a more authoritative opinion. Dppowell 18:19, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I did leave a message about it on his talk page. But I haven't received any kind of answer from him. I know he gamed the system on me and at least one other user. Kingjeff 20:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm just another editor like you, KJ. This is a volunteer project to help enforce Panairjdde's ban. I think you have a valid point, but redressing any grievances incurred prior to his ban is outside of what we can realistically strive to achieve at this stage. Dppowell 20:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Kingjeff, I would have to agree; it would be difficult at this point to get that kinds of thing "expunged" from your record, if it could be done at all. Jayjg ^(talk) 22:14, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

This is just an idea. But you might want to get a consensus with other administrators about this kind of thing. Kingjeff 00:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Newest known sock

User:GuideEggs. Updated the RFCU and notified Jayjg. Only edits were to this page and the sock's userspace, so he's probably making his invalid edits under another sock. Dppowell 02:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Quiet

Quiet over the last two days or so. I've been casually checking a number of his former Roman history haunts looking for suspicious new editors, but no luck. Anyone else? Maybe he's feeling the heat and letting things cool off for a couple of days. Whatever works! Dppowell 20:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe we should be checking his IP addresses. Maybe he's quietly doing other stuff? Kingjeff 20:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

His IPs are private unless he edits from them. We have to wait until we notice him somewhere. Dppowell 22:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

It's been pretty quiet about him. Where is he now? Kingjeff 04:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know, I haven't been looking very hard for the last few days. As long as he's not edit-warring, I'm not going to worry about it too much, but if I see him, I'll report him. Dppowell 14:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Found him

User:Anriz. Report filed. Dppowell 16:34, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

81.211.198.6 is another one. Kingjeff 22:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I saw the amended RFCU. I'm very pleased about finding Anriz, since he's been using that one for a while. Dppowell 02:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

found him ........ Again. The IP Address is 121.44.226.60. He gave himself away here. Kingjeff 14:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Crum375

Panairjdde made a comment on Crum375's talk page. I don't want to do anything wih his talk page. Kingjeff 20:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Possible new account

Should we check User:Melbournewiki? There wasn't enough activity so far for me to make a firm judgement. Kingjeff 02:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep an eye on it, but my first instinct is that it's not him. Dppowell 02:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed that he has blanked his talk page once. This is typical of you know who. We should definitely look further into this account. Kingjeff 02:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

It bears watching, for sure. Of course, he monitors this page, so if he knows we're watching that account he's less likely to use it. Dppowell 02:25, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, if it is him, he's doing a good job hiding hiding his identity on this one. Kingjeff 02:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

What he's doing is a form of electronic trespassing, so he's technically breaking the law. This process requires patience. It took the better part of a year for the community to ban him, and it will probably take at least that long to build the case for Wikimedia to report abuse to his ISP. Perhaps sooner, if he maintains his current pace. I can wait. :) Dppowell 02:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Aziz1005 name looks very similar to his last user name. None of his edits are none of his interest. Kingjeff 16:10, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

would this user be him: 72.71.217.89 the person seems to be having an edit war with someone on the Italy national football team article.

User:Itham might be the new account. Kingjeff 16:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The newest account

User:Boat-proof is the newest account. Kingjeff 16:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It seems widely clear it's him, so how about blocking it? --Angelo 23:24, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Jayjg already knows--I'll drop a note on WP:AIV. Dppowell 23:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I know Jayjg knows, it was me who advised him :) Good. --Angelo 23:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I saw that, thank you. Nicely done. For all his bluster, I think he really is editing less than he used to. Dppowell 23:59, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

User:EndlessReturns is the newest one. Seemed to pick out the perfect name for him. Kingjeff 00:23, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

The next one

User:Fantocci; I'm sure is the next one. Kingjeff 14:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Highly likely to be him. --Angelo 14:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Gethomas3 might be another one. I have personally expected him for a while. Kingjeff 00:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

That's curious, coz Fantocci left a message into Gethomas3's talk page. Are you sure? --Angelo 00:53, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the editing records of both, you will see that both accounts have edited a lot of the same national teams. Kingjeff 01:02, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but it apparently makes no sense, since Fantocci reverted Gethomas3's modifications to World Cup record sections. Anyway, Fantocci was blocked right now. --Angelo 02:52, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I had it checked just to make sure. It's unrelated. Kingjeff 03:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I've reported User:Tozzi Fan. Looks like a good possibility. Kingjeff 20:30, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Same edits than Fantocci, and a very similar username (Tozzi Fan -> Fan Tozzi)... Very likely to be him again. --Angelo 20:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

We can't forget to mention the new found ego to go with the stubborness. Kingjeff 20:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Tozzi - Fan!
