Thank you for common sense! - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

[edit]

Hello Ingenuity:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Spi

[edit]

Hello. I saw this Spi and had some things to say. While it's possible this is one user, doesn't it appear more likely a case of having additional undisclosed accounts or simply forgetting passwords? Because the first account hasn't even edited since June, and the second one with questionable username hasn't edited since August. I think they just forgot passwords, assuming it's the same user. It's interesting I had reported a similar case of socking and while in my case it was clearly same person (as confirmed/blocked in a different project Spi), the clerk of en-wiki decided to not block the accounts because "Simply using multiple accounts, even if not disclosed, is not automatically sockpuppetry" and "evidence of misuse on this project is required".

I think this principle applies here too because I don't think there is evidence of misuse in Armen888 Spi (again assuming this is one person). And while I agree one of the usernames is problematic, is it enough to block for POV pushing all 3 users? And lastly, "native_name" additions did seem a bit excessive, but again is it enough to indeff users? It's not like they were adding it to random articles, looks like they were just adding it to Armenian articles and in several cases the actual names were already there, they just added missing templates [1]. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 10:13, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They're welcome to make an unblock request. Armeniansarebest received a number of warnings shortly before switching their account, and Nakhararakan has denied that they are the same user (even though it's extremely obvious). This does not look like a case where they forgot their password. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Armen888 SPI

[edit]

Since this SPI is closed, I was wondering if I should file a new SPI due to an IP editing(46.71.234.8) along the same articles as users Armen888, Armeniansarebest, and Nakhararakan.


A similar IP address (46.71.135.207) posted on my talk page continuing a conversation started by user:Nakhararakan. Both IPs geolocate back to the same place. I believe this is Nakhararakan avoiding a block.--Kansas Bear (talk) 01:46, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked the more recent IP for a week. If they continue I may have to make a wider range block. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
