I told you! You got the release dates for each Pump game all mixed up! And I thought StuGo was cancelled but Ryan Gillis was right. It's not cancelled. (sniff) I just wanted StuGo to end and not be on air still. (sobs) 76.26.106.42 (talk) 20:05, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Confirmed sockpuppet

Hello, Ponyo! I am very sorry if I'm wasting your time, but it has caught to my attention that a user who has explicitly confirmed being behind the account Apollogetticax (who is a sockpuppet of User:HTML5, CSS3!) is back on enwiki (and recently came back to simplewiki):

SolarX (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – previous name was "Haumeon".

Since the original blocking checkuser is retiring, I thought I'd just ask you instead. On the simplewiki, he explicitly said:

But then: my IP ban/block (I get confused) ended on enwiki! I rushed to make a new account (naïve me), Apollogetticax. This was in June or July. I got in a very good standing, until the same checkuser found me out. I left Wikipedia for a month. But one day, I decided to edit Simplewiki. – (This is part of a very long paragraph, so I decided to give you a nice snippet.)

Also, after blocking this user, the sockmaster needs to be banned per WP:3X. Thank you for your time. 2601:402:4400:3A90:69F3:EC91:D36E:114C (talk) 18:26, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

If they weren't using the account here, I'd let it slide, but there are recent edits. I've pointed them to WP:SO if they want to pursue an appeal here.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:29, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

Block evasion of User:Pheonix hoe1998& by IPs

Hello Ponyo,

This message is about the user Pheonix hoe1998&, who you blocked indefinitely back in late May this year. Could you have a look at the thread WP:ANI § IPs from Paris appear to be block evasion by Pheonix hoe1998&? That thread has been sitting there for more than three days without a response or action and the issue is still ongoing today, e.g. diff, hence bringing this to the attention of the admin who blocked the user account.

Thanks, — AP 499D25 (talk) 06:05, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

@AP 499D25: The thread was archived without action, but I've blocked the two /40 ranges mentioned by Binksternet to help alleviate some of the disruption. I've left account creation enabled for now; we'll see how that goes.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:06, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking the two /40s I suggested. Another /40 needs the same treatment:

• 2A04:CEC0:1100:0:0:0:0:0/40 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial))

Happy Bastille Day for those who observe it. Binksternet (talk) 20:41, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for that, blocked now as well.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:53, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

It's happening

Hello Ponyo,

here we go again! Last time you had to intervene in case of Holiptholipt was in March 2025, in case of the User:Marty McDonalds account. Surely, you thought, that must be the last time of hearing from him, right? So did I, I'm way too boring of a person for anyone online to take so much interest in my editing. Nope. He's back. This time with a very narrow IP range, however. If it does appear to be him, I want to thank you so much for the block in advance. Have a great Summer! Mine is rainy, which I don't mind. Brat Forelli🦊 23:25, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Looks like Izno took care of the rangeblock. Always best to report to SPI as I'm not always around.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:36, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

New vandalism

Hi

Could you expand the block of full block the IP? Enough is enough with him. Panam2014 (talk) 22:39, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

I've already answered that question at this archived thread and the two threads directly below it.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:46, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Accidental block

Well, I guess in 20 years of editing Wikipedia, that was bound to happen at some point ... (It's like they say among people who shoot recreationally: there are two types of gun users ... those who've had an accidental discharge, and those who will.

EJK2000

Hi, who is EJK2000 a sock of? I cannot find a SPI. If I know who the sockmaster is, and when they became blocked, I can G5 all those images that EJK2000 uploaded. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:34, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

@Redrose64: They're evading their block through logged-out edits, so they are the sockmaster (as far as I can tell).-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:36, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Seeking your opinion

Earlier you protected two pages due to continued socking by Eddu16 (1 2), you may also remember the related noticeboard discussion. They've been sporadically continuing to do much the same on 2001:1388:1B8E:0:0:0:0:0/47. From a quick sniff collateral is likely to be minimal even on a full-range softblock since only one other editor has been using it to make a handful of edits to Miss World 2026 perhaps slightly strengthening the case for implementing reverse p-blocks, on the other hand p-blocking from the most common targets would curtail a significant amount of the disruption and since they do pop up on other ranges periodically some monitoring will need to continue regardless. So either option seems reasonable here.

Thought I’d reach out to you since your already somewhat familiar with this one. Thanks, 184.152.65.118 (talk) 17:07, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

I soft blocked the /47 for block evasion, as it's clearly Eddu16. If they create an account I can look at restricting account creation on the range as well.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:19, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt assistance, there's still some other LTA cases I need to review for cleanup including a massive spam mess, but I might have time here and there to assist this week, so feel free to leave me a message if you need assistance with anything and I'll try to get to it within the next few days. 184.152.65.118 (talk) 17:28, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Anyone who takes the time to clean up LTA spam and promo deserves a [puppy] [kitten] [keys to the kingdom] [other]. Please take whichever suits your fancy from the toy box.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:34, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

You know, just trying to pay it forward. I'm around so infrequently and irregularly these years and sometimes it just feels like I've let my ratio of asking for assistance vs being asked get a little skewed. Of course knowing my luck if there were something I'd be well placed to address left on my talk page it would end up being 5 minutes after I set myself on one of those multi-month cold-turkey wikibreaks, or right before my IP changes, or both. Even now it's mostly just a few minutes of multi-tasking here and there between IRL demands. I take your point though. 184.152.65.118 (talk) 19:16, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Several years ago, the incessant studio spam burned me out and I deleted my 12,000+ watchlist and peaced out for several months. So I totally get it.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:26, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

breaking up

Just saw your comment on Beeb's talk page (didn't get a ping for some reason, and just noticed his post at BN and went to his talk page). I'm not breaking up; I just think we should see other people for a while... Floquenbeam (talk) 18:39, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Sure. ok. That always ends well.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:45, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Do you realize how long ago that show was? Like 30 years! I keep catching myself thinking things in the early 2000's are "recent". Before I re-engage my cloaking device (imagine how long ago Star Trek was! I don't even want to do the math!), I wanted to say "hi how are you?". Haven't talked in a while. Floquenbeam (talk) 18:52, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

My husband teaches and recently had to update references to albums/songs (like Weezer's Blue Album), and current events (e.g. 9/11) in his lectures because his college kids were all "we weren't even born when that happened". I know several smart people under 30 who have never read a newspaper - it's like something they only see in the movies. Please drop by at warp speed to say "hi" anytime you beam up. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:07, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) I feel the need to state here that newspaper reading isn’t entirely a forgotten art amongst the under-30s ;) Patient Zero^talk 19:26, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Help please! Tons of sockpuppets from the same user constantly adding unsourced and disruptive data.

Hello Ponyo, please take a look at this user's edits:

Climater67 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) then to Earthsofabil67 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (2 users, but they are the same one actually) and to the following IPs which are editing the same pages as the 2 accounts from above, so the sockmaster is using IPs as well and all of them have the same ISP and very similar IP v6 addresses and locations:

2A02:8434:E7E0:8301:114:AEA4:2CB8:1E2A (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

2A02:8434:E7E0:8301:F1C1:C12C:372A:4E25 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) 2A02:8434:E7E0:8301:ACBF:C648:73D0:6C3D (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) 2A02:8434:E7E0:8301:6DB6:410C:F6D1:8537 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) 2A02:8434:E7E0:8301:2425:CAC2:50EE:8D6E (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

And many more IPs, just to cite 5 of them.

This user is always targeting the same pages and topic: climate of places in Algeria, Morocco and Spain. All being unsourced and made up data, constantly reverted and warned by other users but the solution of this sockmaster is to use another IP or to create another user.

Please help, this user is trespassing the line on many Wikipedia articles and it's hard to revert so many sock edits.

I suspect this might also be the same user or related to an already globally blocked IP range for crosswiki abuse in the English Wikipedia as well as in other Wikipedias. See how in the English Wikipedia, the blocked IP range was also mostly doing unsourced climate-related edits.

2603:8001:B202:3294:0:0:0:0/64 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Please review this when you can, it would help to stop another IP range dedicated to make several disruptive edits on a daily basis. Thanks. 90.160.203.156 (talk) 00:08, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

There are a number of issues here. First, there is no overlap in time between the edits made by Climater67 and Earthsofabil67, so there's no blatant socking. Second, it looks like Earthsofabil67 admits to being the 2A02:8434:: range based on their responses to concerns raised at User talk:2A02:8434:E7E0:8301:C4D0:31A8:EC08:D5DB. Thirdly, the 2A02:8434:E7E0:8301:0:0:0:0/64 range is on a different continent than the globally-blocked 2603:8001:B202:3294:0:0:0:0/64. Finally, there are a lot of red-linked talk pages, and when the accounts/IP are approached they respond. So what this looks like at first blush is a content dispute. If the editor/IPs are adding blatantly false data to articles disruptively then I suggest you take it to AN/I for review.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:42, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

This just in - women can sometimes be shorter than men!

Hello, my little Ponyo. Do you think there's any point in blocking the LTA 64s that are riding their hobbyhorse at Sex differences in humans? They're quite different - 2605:b100:1142:562c:68b2:1539:ac8c:df9e and, further down in the history, 2604:3d09:d281:bb00:b5b4:f0c9:4e79:1b31. Sigh. Bishonen | tålk 20:00, 21 July 2025 (UTC).

The earlier range is already blocked (here). I'm watching the article and had intended to block if they continue to stray into the new 2605:B100:1142:562C:0:0:0:0/64 range. It's an odd little fascination they have with the topic; I suppose there's not much else to do in Manitoba. Inside joke for my fellow Canadians-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:11, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

Cool. Bishonen | tålk 20:16, 21 July 2025 (UTC).

Coming up on eight years since the Manitoba IP-hopper started this trolling... and on a different subject, for some reason I never realized before that you were a fellow Canuck. Meters (talk) 22:33, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

@Meters: I'm so Canadian I practically edit in a serge while riding backwards on a horse. Also, you spell your name wrong; but you got it right with your alt!-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:43, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

One might think so, but I used to be a metrologist, and I was thinking of hardware meters with dials rather than the unit, and even in Canada the former are spelled with an "er". Meters (talk) 02:10, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

By the way, I did indeed know that you were Canadian. Somehow I conflated your account with Kudpung's. Weird. Meters (talk) 21:24, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Ezequiel Matthysse

Hola, me gustaría saber si podrías Ayudarme a desbloquear el artículo de Ezequiel Matthysse. Ya que necesito crearlo. Gracias! TrelewPedia (talk) 19:53, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

The only editors who have ever attempted to create an article on the subject are WP:SOCK accounts. I see you made a similar request at es.wiki, which was also declined as the article is protected against recreation there as well. Given that you've written this request in Spanish, the Spanish Wikipedia would be the correct venue to pursue creation of the article. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:01, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

IP sock?

Hi, I see that you made this block a few weeks ago for some articles - looks like that IP block is also active on countless other articles. I just encountered them in two occasions ([1], [2]) on what seems to otherwise be very far from the usual article topic list of that IP range, so it made me curious. Raladic (talk) 03:46, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

@Raladic: The range is huge, with many different editors active there, which is why you see such a range of editing topics (and range of partial blocks). See User_talk:Ponyo/Archive_69#User:2001:8F8:1361:2375:FC6C:7A96:612:90A7 and User_talk:Ponyo/Archive_69#Another_block_for_2001:8F8:1DD3:B8C3:D998:1353:4648:EF09_? from my archives. At some point the disruption vs. collateral damage point will tip in favour of just blocking the range altogether.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:37, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Sorry!

Didn't know Naledi Willers was the product of a blocked user! Seemed a bit borderline when I accepted but it looked alright. If I had known, I would have not accepted at AFC. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 05:59, 23 July 2025 (UTC) hopefully not too many beans were spilled!

@HistoryTheorist: There were some hints, with a brand new account creating multile perfectly formatted article in a single edit, including the recreation of Vanderpump Villa, which had previously been deleted as WP:CSD#G5 as created by the same sockmaster. That being said, you review articles, and I block sock accounts, so we were each doing what we think best for the encyclopedia! AfC review is a slog, so thanks for what you do there! -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:45, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Warning yourself

I stumbled upon two unusual generic uws on a user's talk page and found out that they were added by the user themself. Do these warnings hold any bearing? Should they be removed? I strongly doubt the user in question is a vandal to warrant them but the final warnings are still live, and they haven't made it crystal-clear they were tests. Departure– (talk) 20:33, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

They just look like test edits; I don't see any reason to remove them (though of course Beluga732 can remove them if they choose). If you're concerned your can bring it to their attention.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:39, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Past tense and 2024 information

The reason why it may be better to at the Adria Arjona article say “as of 2024, she was in a relationship” instead of what you changed it to which is “as of 2024, she is in a relationship” is that we are not in 2024 today. 184.153.21.19 (talk) 21:02, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Correct, we're not in 2024, but we are in the time period between 2024 and today and Arjona continues to be in that relationship. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:18, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

I hear you. But isn’t our source support - only - for the fact that that was the case in 2024? But not support for the belief that she has been in the relationship in 2025? --184.153.21.19 (talk) 23:12, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

The source supports a current relationship as of 2024 unless there is an updated source that confirms otherwise. We don't put a new source in everyday to confirm they're still together. Given that the internet was littered with news of the couple being on the red carpet together just two days ago, there is no reason to change the status of the relationship.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:17, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. If I understand, we can keep statements that people are in a relationship, without showing what year that information was reported. As though they are currently in it. Even though the source is from an earlier year. If there are sources saying it is so in 2025 (but we don’t have to include those sources in the article). Thanks. I did not understand that. --184.153.21.19 (talk) 04:10, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
