[03:22:12] It seems its only contained to Meta [03:24:51] Global Sysops can block on Meta... But it should be used only in connection to Global blocks, i think. [03:25:44] niched20 wiki, see cvtfeed [03:25:48] That's my understanding too, that it can only be done to apply global blocks on Meta too [03:26:19] Could someone block that IP range? [03:28:06] This? https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/97.120.164.81 [03:28:06] [url] User contributions for 97.120.164.81 - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [03:28:43] Yes. [03:29:03] Why range? Why, if isn't continuing? [03:29:43] It did occur 27 minutes ago. I'm sure they'll be back for more anyway. [05:16:22] Well well, normally he stops, even if he can come back in the next few days, to admit, I don't even know how to block a range [08:22:25] I've blocked [08:22:56] We only block the range if it's across the range or if the range is high risk [08:23:04] It doesn't meet that [09:34:57] GS taking action on Meta has been discussed a few times, it operates as an exempted wiki with strong deference to local administration; typically that issue is curbed by GS acting in their meta admin capacity, which now of course is not always the case (just with me though). [09:38:28] Personally I feel I have the agency to take local action only if a quick query to meta admins yields nothing and it's serious, or otherwise if it's an emergency. A lot of GS powers are also specifically filtered out on Meta at a technical level iirc, so some things I have no technical access to (in effect, my user account creations are done with the same limitations as any other user account because GS rate exemptions do not [09:38:29] apply on meta, which again usually doesn't come up because GS are traditionally meta admins [09:46:49] I think GS can use block on Meta if "There is disruption on a wiki and there are no local sysops or bureaucrats acting in a reasonable amount of time." If there is some vandal for "long time" (= 10+ mins and many rollbacks) and no active admin, when Global Sysop without Meta admin permission is online, then i personally don't have issue with it. Although "block" permission in GS toolkit is only for minnoring Global blocks. [09:46:49] Do we have IAR? [10:38:20] Yeah, if there's a significant instance like that example I would feel at liberty to act, deferring further judgement to local admin assessment. Might be too early in the morning for me, IAR draws a blank [11:21:34] @RhinosF1 That's okay. [20:06:58] Yes! dmehus is back! [20:27:43] and so he is [20:28:02] once in a lifetime sighting [20:28:55] @raidarr Let's just hope he hasn't forgotten about looking into Rangerman51 and Nicaragua Villainy, as the evidence is already posted on this channel. [20:29:13] I actually sent a memo to him explicitly about it, and it was marked as read not long ago :p [23:07:12] Agent: :P [23:07:13] [tell] dmehus: 2022-02-03 - 02:42:12UTC tell dmehus to look into Nicaragua Villainy based on not only suspicious behavior on Meta, like this: https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rangerkid51&oldid=233699 [23:07:30] darkmatterman450, raidarr, handled, thanks :) [23:07:54] dmehus: bone jaw [23:07:59] bonjour* [23:08:01] :P [23:08:20] bone jaw, ei [23:08:41] bone jaw lol [23:08:49] I'm not going to live that one down [23:08:50] * dmehus wonders what Agent was thinking [23:09:26] raidarr, why you? it's Agent who might not live that down :P [23:10:18] lol [23:21:06] [[Special:CentralAuth/Chuck the Yellow Bird Chick]] @Doug / dmehus A [[w:WP:DUCK]] sockpuppet has been found, and here's some incredibly obvious overlap between Chuck the Yellow Bird Chick and a few other socks: https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Boulder_Media_(Ireland)&diff=prev&oldid=172123 (Chuck the Yellow Bird Chick) [23:21:06] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Chuck_the_Yellow_Bird_Chick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DUCK [23:21:06] https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Boulder_Media_(Ireland)&diff=prev&oldid=137643 (Chuck Time in the Moon) (The edits from this particular article are remarkably similar, especially when you count the word "fade" being used.) https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=ShadowMachine_Films&diff=prev&oldid=172131 (Chuck the Yellow Bird Chick) [23:21:07] https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=ShadowMachine_Films&diff=prev&oldid=133308 (Chuck Time, Chucked Out) https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=ShadowMachine_Films&diff=prev&oldid=130917 (Chuck Quenano 1990 is Back!) https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=ShadowMachine_Films&diff=prev&oldid=127862 (Chuck Quenano 1990) [23:21:07] https://closinglogosgroup.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=ShadowMachine_Films&diff=prev&oldid=134246 (Boo Tran is Back! The Beginning) There's a lot of significant overlap on the ShadowMachine Films article. I think this should be sufficient to warrant a CU on Chuck the Yellow Bird Chick.

[23:25:04] Were you referring to my above report? [23:25:17] Nope, a belated reply to the above message to me [23:26:44] Which reminds me to send another not quite related prompt for dmehus; I'd very much like to take an evening, be it this or another one or a meeting we set by time, to discuss a variety of topics both old and new ranging from cvt to other volunteering to other things entirely [23:26:45] You mean this one, don't you? Or no? [23:27:02] Nvm, @raidarr. [23:27:21] There is one thing I was going to send to you DMM, but alas it is not quite complete [23:27:43] Oh, still constructing the reply? [23:29:19] Actually quite split from our last discourse and relating to a concept you might like to be involved in, but I'll withhold until it's in a better place to send [23:29:41] I probably would've liked the concept anyway. [23:30:53] also, good lord what did you import [23:31:38] Some resolution templates, and I noticed an unwanted message, shown here: [23:31:39] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443926951292567562/940026983264432138/Bandicam_2022-02-06_18-09-58-375.jpg [23:32:04] I don't even know where to even begin with this. [23:32:11] The good news is I don't see what you're posting on QPC [23:32:19] perhaps I can find it with context of where the screencap was taken [23:33:25] Never mind, I see it [23:33:32] Yeah, that message should've never been there to begin with. I tried to look for it myself, but boy, I didn't want to torture myself by looking aimlessly at other templates I imported. [23:33:41] You did? Where? [23:34:54] Still determining exact origin [23:35:02] Suffice to say your import was probably a vandalized version [23:35:06] Ah, okay. [23:35:11] Shit. [23:35:23] and quite frankly in general I strongly disadvise uncurated imports of wikipedia content without a clear need for it [23:36:15] Yeah, I could probably delete it, and make it a bit cleaner, without the vandalized version being in the way. [23:36:43] I'm wondering why the imports were necessary at all [23:37:40] I mean, aside from other users doing Wikipedia imports, all I would have to do is modify them, so they don't look copied and pasted. [23:38:01] That's not the issue, I question the necessity of them wikipediafied or personalized [23:38:21] You make a fair point. [23:41:46] The page you deleted was not the source of the issue [23:41:57] Oh,it wasn't? [23:42:34] see edit marked 'issue resolved' [23:42:54] I'll give that a look. [23:44:45] It's still showing. I'll investigate this further. [23:44:56] purge cache [23:45:50] Yep, it went away. Thanks for telling me to do that. [23:49:44] Aha, so it was Template:Edit that was the culprit.
