[edit] Sockpuppet
Hi. I’m directing this message to you because you were the one who confirmed the Wellwater Conspiracy CheckUser request. This is a very difficult case because the guy has been creating numerous accounts to evade blocks. On no.wikipedia, he has come clean, and the community has decided to give him a second chance, but here they all got blocked. Of course he has created another account here, no surprise, User:Alive Would? Sun (confirmed on no:User:Superunknown). I just thought I’d let you know, so you can decide what to do with it. — H92 (t · c · no) 21:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I don't usually make blocking decisions on my own technical findings, the place to ask would be the admins noticeboard. Thatcher 21:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Checkuser activity
Would you be able to comment at Wikipedia talk:CheckUser#Activity levels of individual Checkusers? Thanks. I also mentioned this (and you by name) at this ANI thread. Apologies if my impressions were mistaken. I think I should have asked you and Raul at your talk pages before mentioning your names at the ANI thread. This is one reason why I would like to see activity logs, as that would confirm impressions and correct mistaken impressions. Carcharoth (talk) 11:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] You spelled it wrong
Hello Thatcher, I'd like you to take a look at my block log where you have made a spelling mistake. It is an "a" not an "e". Please correct. Thank you. StickySugar (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Frankly, not a big enough error to correct, however I did make a point of spelling it correctly on your latest sockpuppets. Thatcher 18:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you Thatcher, although I would still like you to correct your mistake on the other block log, as it will make you seem somewhat naive when anyone looks at it. Anyway, have a nice day. Kelpcarp (talk) 11:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Avril vandal
Whoops, sorry! Thanks for informing me about this, I have passed the info along to other account creators via the mailing list (Accounts-enwiki-l) which is where this request came from. I have recommended that all 'suspect' usernames/emails have the requested username checked against known Grawp/Avril paradigms (although unfortunately this is unlikely to catch all requests). If anything else should be done, please let me know. Thanks again for telling me about this. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 16:13, June 12, 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how you could ever know for sure in advance; maybe the user has a "tell" in their email or something. Thatcher 16:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] nlwiki rename
please see nl:Overleg_gebruiker:Oscar#Take_over_username.3F thx ;-) oscar 23:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- done: please confirm there, thx ;-) oscar 09:28, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you. Thatcher 11:47, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] L.A.Comment
Sorry for disturbing but I am having 1 question. If I am not making mistakes IP are not geographically similar but they are Verizon ([1] [2] [3] and earlier blocked IP [4] [5] ).
Because of that in my thinking situation is similar to block discussion on this talk page about Velebit/Giuvon puppets.
On other side your check and this evidence is enough for action on page Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets ?
- All the IPs you cite are in the area of Washington DC. J.A. Comment is also in the Washington DC area, but not on Verizon, and there are certainly many people who live there so that alone is not conclusive. Thatcher 14:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
