I was hoping look into something for me. About ten days ago you blocked this user as a sockpuppet. He/she came to my attention when he created an article on

Sergiu Cristian Popovici. In the past, creating this article, usually under the title Sergiu Popovici, was the red flag for another sockpuppeteer, User:Bad good dragosh98. Is there any way of determining if the two are the same person? Thanks in advance. Sir Sputnik (talk

Thanks for letting me know; I've blocked the named account. With the IPs (which may or may not be related) I generally give them a level 2 and then a level 3 warning, then block if they don't stop with the BLP violations. The IPs are so disposable they just pop onto a new one so it's essentially whack-a-mole.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 20:16, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll follow your lead on the ips. Has anyone discussed a range block? --

  • Hello Ponyo. Can you please direct me to the case page for the sockmaster of these socks? I do like to investigate possible links to a new user currently active at Pakistani celebrity articles. Thanks -- SMS Talk 10:19, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
There isn't an SPI page as the technical data is confounded by the number of ranges being used. At this time I've been essentially playing whack-a-mole as the accounts pop up. This appears to be a marketing network being used for promoting minor Pakistani/Lollywood actors and programs as opposed to a specific sockmaster, and the disruption goes back years. The main concern is that the articles created and the information added often include copyright and BLP violations as well as falsification of references. If you have a specific account you would like me to look at you can note it here or email me if you prefer. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:16, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

The material you are trying to add is already summarized through the use of

22:03, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

I differ -this article clearly points only to a criminal case .This is not a Biography.It contains only what happened in a particular case ,which has again re-opened at the High Court of Delhi. If it was a Biography with a mention of some criminal activities by a person,which was debatable ,I would have not included this edit. It is maligning a person on Wikipedia by making him a criminal based on a single judgement.The entire article is based only on one case.Manu Sharma is not a habitual offender nor a terrorist.Please remove the article itself before some one sues Wikipedia .Then you block the judgement.Strange editor.Mamta Jagdish Dhody (talk) 22:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

You are incorrect, the article is a
BLP umbrella as many of the individual's involved are still alive. The court case is already covered extensively in the Manu Sharma article through the use of secondary sources as is required by policy. Edit warring to restore verbatim sections of the court documents violates this policy.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Matthew Thomas

Hi there Ponyo. My page (above) got deleted. I don't care about the page, it can be deleted as long as it wants. But, I'm kindly asking to be able to copy all text from my page, to be able to put it in a file on my computer. I'm sorry my page didn't meet the Wikipedia articles for creation criteria, and I hope I could get it back. I hope no harm is done in this.

Is it time to send both of them off on another compulsory wikibreak? Whoever keeps adding various uncorroborated "descent" categories to BLPs has been all over these ranges in the last two to three weeks – I found more than a dozen instances a few days ago, and two today.

3 months this time.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 00:32, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
They've switched to another, closely-related range:
WP:BANNED shows, there is some precedent for banning the most disruptive anonymous users ("IP hopping conspiracy theorist from Hyogo, Japan", and others). Any registered user with a block log so heavy would have been shown the door long ago, and the revision history of Mpho Koaho says it all. In addition to watch-listing commonly-targeted pages, I've been keeping a list of all the suspicious IPs that I've encountered, and currently come up with roughly 220 addresses (most of which I'm fairly confident, judging by the editing behaviour, have been used by the same person). I would be interested in, and very grateful for, your perspective (as a blocking administrator) on the banning argument. SuperMarioMan
02:44, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
I've blocked the new range for 3 months and the single IP for 2 years (they've been consistently using this IP for nearly two years). I have to run out for a bit, so I'll respond further regarding the block/ban distinction soon.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 17:34, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
They're back again. Curiously, this IP address seems to originate in Italy rather than New York (or another US state), but it's clear from the editing pattern that the operators are one and the same. What are your thoughts on proposing a community ban for this user? SuperMarioMan 15:33, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Looks like someone is off on an Italian vacation! Ban's work when there is an identifiable account to ban, which isn't the case here (it is also why you won't find any IPs listed
LTA IP hopper is de facto banned and therefore any of their edits can be rolled back and the IPs blocked on sight.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots
15:49, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I suspected that the anonymity would be a strong counter-argument. Since you've mentioned
WP:LTA a few times in block summaries, would it make sense to create an actual LTA subpage? Something like Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Voice Cast Vandal is what I would aim for. There is already User:Jim1138/24.164.190.130 BLP issue; however, the scale and frequency of the problem are such that a page in the project namespace, dedicated to centralised reporting and tracking, would help tremendously in drawing the attention of the wider Wikipedia community - in my opinion, anyway.

Thank you for your note. I tried to find verification of the birth date or her marriage and could not (there was some press regarding her being in a relationship, but no verification of a marriage). Even Barry Castagnola's official website does not assert that they are married, she is referred to only as "award-winning actress/writer Martha Howe-Douglas" in relation to work they have performed together.

Jennifer Schwab page

Indented line

Hi Ponyo, the "Jennifer Schwab" page I created was deleted by you for the following reasons:

21:12, 20 August 2013 Ponyo (talk | contribs) deleted page Jennifer Schwab (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jennifer-schwab/)

I understand the Wikipedia is not a promotional platform; however, I did read the section on notable living people, and I believe that my colleague, Jennifer Schwab, meets the criteria. She is a prominent figure in the "green" community and people have suggested that we create a Wiki page that can be updated and edited regularly.

Can you please give me some advice on how to move forward creating a page for her that will not be taken down? I spent a lot of time creating the page, and I used Huffington Post as an external reference for Jennifer's biographical information.

Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hjmalan (talkcontribs) 22:09, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay in replying. Creating an article regarding a subject with which you are closely affiliated presents a
notability criteria for inclusion I would suggest requesting an article here (under the most appropriate profession header). Assuming she meets the aforementioned notability criteria, a neutral editor who is not personally involved with Ms. Shwab will likely create the article in the future. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots

I could try to do the sourcing work for you, however the
reliable source that shows that the BLP subject is of Indian descent (and identifies as such), then it can be included. The category is unrelated to the subject's notability and should never be added solely based on supposition. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots

Ponyo, back on June 30 you blocked User talk:82.30.29.154 for six months. It looks to me that this same user might be back quite a bit early using a new IP address, 82.30.28.143.

The new address is editing some of the same articles (i.e., Glee and EastEnders actors and characters), usually changing infobox info or images, or adding unsourced Personal life sections or material in actor BLPs—here an edit that had involved adding a copyrighted image to Commons is being deleted—and you can see on User talk:82.30.28.143 that the warnings are already starting to accumulate.

If they had only used the IP to attempt to make contact with you to ask a question I could see giving a bit of leeway, but they also used it to evade the block to edit. Again. One of the reasons that the Standard Offer calls for a six month break from editing is to judge whether the editor is really committed to abiding by policies and guidelines and willing to make the effort to prove it. Coming back every couple of weeks to poke around with questions and evading the block with edits here and there just demonstrates that Shookallen88 still doesn't have the self-control to not sock. As their original blocks were for edit-warring (which is very much a self-control type issue), I think it's best to block the IP and reset the clock on the Standard Offer. Given their previous interactions, if you provide any leeway outside of the specific wording of the standard offer they will likely become confused as to what edits they can and can't make via IP. It may be helpful to point out to him that you have email enabled if they have any questions regarding the Offer, however that may be opening yourself up to a continuous series of unblock requests and questions. Fun! --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I don't think it's particularly frowned upon to remove clear, unsubstantiated personal attacks from others' talk pages as Ponyo did here; that's pretty standard, I think. But in this case, removing it wasn't necessary, as Timtrent does explicitly ask people not to remove personal attacks from his page. Writ Keeper  00:14, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Writ Keeper, that is indeed my interpretation as well, though I wouldn't have removed the false claim had I seen the edit note on Timtrent's talk page regarding personal attacks. Sometimes the finer details are missed when working from popups.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 00:45, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

What a lot of hassle. Ah well. I've left what I hope he perceives as a friendly, certainly neutral, message on his talk page inviting further good contributions. If the offending article that caused all this brouhaha gets citations and the bloke is notable at all then the article will be welcome, of course. It seems he read my user page, found "my first article" and had a go at it. Looks like it took him a shedload of research that he might have used better to source the article that had to be deleted.

I've blocked them both for three months. When you've racked up as many blocks as Lzdimitar (via his account and IP), they can hardly plead ignorance of the issues raised. I didn't block indefinitely as I still hold out some slim hope that they will see the requirement for sourcing and communication with others.

I've already semi-protected the article through to May 2014 in order to help keep some of the unsourced content out. There is some discussion regarding her DOB on the talk page, but it's pretty fractured. Editors are simply making assertions as to the "correct" date as opposed to actually discussing the topic and analysing the sources to come up with a consensus as to which (if any) date to use. I also have the article watchlisted as it is prone to BLP violations. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 16:31, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, the article's talk page and even my talk page is been cracked by the editors! I don't know how to react to them! --    L o g  X   16:35, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
I would just let the editor on your talk page know that the correct venue for discussing disputed content in on the article talk page. If the talk page discussion goes nowhere, or consensus cannot be reached, there is always the option of starting a
Request for Comment to draw in additional opinions.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots

The ticket number is 2013092310012493, although that doesn't make it verifiable as very few editors have access to the OTRS Quality queue. This is why I also included the inline citation to allow for verification by readers and those without access.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:27, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

G13

Please, after a G13 deletion is postponed by an editor for another look, don't immediately delete it,as you did for Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Elings Park International Raceway. I don;t know that we have a regular procedure, but normally I think it should go another 6 months, as it would if the person postponing also edited the text. DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring the article, I certainly wouldn't have deleted it had I noticed it had been tagged for a second look. I was curious as to how I missed the re-tagging as a hold and noticed that adding the {{AfC postpone G13}} template didn't modify the G13 tag other than to make it appear the SPhilbrick had been the one to nominate it for deletion. It would probably be better to remove the G13 tag altogether, as you did, to avoid any confusion. Regardless, mea culpa. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:14, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Do Not Revert Edits with out reading them.

Read the damn edit and article before reverting under the false pretense of NPOV. You did not do that as the time stamp shows you instantly reverted the article. That is your responsibility to do that. You reverted an edit that summarized some key, well documented, and well referenced points that were briefly mentioned in the intro. I suspect your judgment is lacking or you are just a lazy editor. Do not come to wiki to stack up edits so you think you are more important in the fantasy land,— Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.40.246 (talkcontribs)

Read articles before reverting edits that is your responsibility. You are edit warring. Violate the 3RR and I will report you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.40.246 (talkcontribs)

The only "key points" you summarized were negative ones. This leads to a completely skewed and
WP:UNDUE lead. All viewpoints need to be presented, not just those that you want to drive home. If you believe that the current lead is insufficient, then you can begin a discussion on the talk page to discuss potential changes with other editors. Whatever consensus is reached at the end of the discussion, the lead will need to be balanced and neutral.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots
22:04, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
P.S. As your edits were reverted as
WP:BLP-violations you must get consensus for the changes on the talk page. Edit-warring to restore the disputed and wholly negative material will only result in your IP being blocked. Editing Wikipedia is not unlike flying the friendly skies - a failure to check your heavy baggage at the door will lead to hefty penalties.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots

I've corrected my Karen S Hampton (Indiana) fiber artist page because another fiber artist named Karen D Hampton (California) contacted me to correct my page and remove her information.

Reporting vandal edits on Shraddha kapoor article

Hi Ponyo,as you have suggested I have provided a reliable source and added the real birthday of Shraddha Kapoor on her page. The link is from CINTAA(http://www.cintaa.net/membership/cintaa_profile/4524) which is a legitimate association of cine artists in Mumbai(http://www.cintaa.net/about-us). It has famous actors like Jaya bachchan, Anil kapoor, Aishwarys Bachchan, etc among its members. So it follows logically that their source is reliable to confirm DOB of Shraddha kapoor as 3rd March 1987. But there is a user by name Smauritius who is keen on removing any link which confirms Shraddha's real age. Also to confirm further, check these two links where her brother mentions her age(http://bollywoodstarkids.blogspot.in/2009/05/shakti-kapoors-son-siddhanths-first.html) and her aunt Padmini kolhapure talks about her mother's pregnancy in 1986(http://www.filmfare.com/features/we-share-everything-except-our-husbands-padmini-kolhapure-3651.html). I already made an edit by providing the link mentioned above but Smauritius has removed it without giving any edit summary or explanation for doing so. He/She looks to be a 'fanatical' fan to me. So please verify the link I have provided for the DOB and lock the article so that no more changes or deletions to the DOB are made. Wikipedia must provide only authentic and correct information and not the information which suits some people. I hope you look into this regard and take the necessary steps to prevent any more users tampering with the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rose$keel (talkcontribs) 11:27, 10 October 2013 (talk) Rose$keel (talk) 13:18, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Please, come and view the history about Shraddha Kapoor, The Userpage, had been already in edit war due to her age conflicts, Secondaries sources and creditable ones proved her age differently. We came to a conclusion not to add her age. Despite, talking a user kept on reverting edits. As a senior come and check the page ...Shraddha Kapoor..

Archana Ramdonee 13:41, 10 October 2013 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Smauritius (talkcontribs)


Ponyo, the said edit war has always been because of Smauritius who interfered with the adding of reliable links. This can be verified from the history of Shraddha Kapoor. Also check the talk page of Smauritius and you can see that the user has been involving in a similar edit war with other users too and has been warned twice already. Still he/she is continuing with this behavior. Any link can't get more legit than the one I have provided for DOB section in Shraddha Kapoor but the user is finding issue even with it. It is plain that this user is a vandal and a fanatic to boot. Please take appropriate action as the administrator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rose$keel (talkcontribs) 13:58, 10 October 2013 (UTC)


  • Rose$keel, the CINTAA, is not a creditable source at all. It is a Community website, where everyone can owned a specific account. I had visited the site, you said only Bollywood personalities are the members, which is false absolutely false, there are many randoms members. I had a doubt on you, Rose$keel, Disgrl, Marikagirl12 are same users with multiple accounts, i have a doubt on that, please check their IP Address... i have doubt but i am not sure...

Archana Ramdonee 15:54, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

If you believe the source does not meet
WP:RSN. Rose$keel, as the validity of the source has been questioned, please stop using it until it can be properly vetted.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:59, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
I am not acting like a Vandalism i am just giving my point of views, Shraddha Kapoor age are indicated differently in different websites. Newspapers and prestious magazines claimed her age differently. Here are some links,

She herself stated she was 17-18 when she had cast for her first movie in 2010 -----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7vbA0uUdw0

We did not add her DOB, in an extent as there are many, it will sound so dubious if u add one. i'm just giving my point of views, i don't know where i am acting as a Vandalism.

Archana Ramdonee 16:12, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

I am well aware of the inconsistencies in the reporting of Kapoor's age, that is why I semi-protected the article. My talk page is not the appropriate venue to rehash the same arguments, that's what
sign your posts correctly.--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 16:22, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Ponyo, I'm neither a vandal nor here to kill time. I only want to add authenticity to a few of wiki's pages. But I'm not being allowed to do so. Every time I make an edit Smauritius is removing it. Can you tell me on what authority she is doing that? Cannot someone else, who is unbiased take a call on this? I'd hoped you would point out a feasible solution. The user reverting my edits clearly has no idea about how things function in the Indian Film industry and hence she is questioning the authority of CINTAA. What surprises me is how you can allow her to take a final call on all this. I provided links for you to verify. Please verify and lock the article so that no more edit wars like this happen. This is my sincere request to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rose$keel (talkcontribs

Reliable sources

Despite many messages to you on your talk page, article talk pages, and in edit summaries, you continue to completely misinterpret what constitutes a reliable source. Have you read WP:RS? Or WP:BLPSOURCES? Please do so prior to adding any additional material to BLP articles. A continued and flagrant disregard of BLP policy despite the problems with your edits being explained to you will likely lead to a topic ban from BLP articles altogether. Bottom line: If material is removed from an article citing BLP concerns with the material or the sourcing, you must get consensus prior to restoring the material. You have repeatedly reverted removal of unsourced or poorly sourced contentious information and you need to stop. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:27, 8 October 2013 (UTC)--Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:27, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

You can make the same arguments over and over again, but a scanned image of a birth certificate fails
If in doubt, it stays out. This is not a battle to be won, this is core policy. I get that you don't agree with the various policies and guidelines, but you are beholden to them as long as they are in place.
