Blocked user Kingcutie under new sockpuppet HDClear
It appears that user Kingcutie is once again vandalizing his brother's wikipedia page under sockpuppet HDClear, for which he was previously banned by you.
It's not entirely clear to me how to proceed with bringing attention to this.

Accusation of being a Sockpuppet of TheCurrencyGuy
Bbb23, in the first fortnight of April this year, an IP server made many edits at British currency in the Middle East and at Egyptian pound. The editor using that IP server was me, and I can assure you that I am definitely not TheCurrencyGuy. Whatever, I was nearly finished what I had set out to do when I found myself blocked and accused of abusing multiple accounts. I'd be most grateful if you could take a second look at this. An editor called classicwiki reported me to the sockpuppet investigation noticeboard as having been carrying out what he termed as "serial edits" at British currency in the Middle East. And because there is a blocked editor called TheCurrencyGuy, this seems to have convinced Classicwiki that me and TheCurrencyGuy must be one and the same person. But surely you must know that the editing style is different, and that the focus of interest is different, and that the IP servers are different. Were the IP servers even geographically close to each other? My IP server was blocked at the same time as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jahor12345 who was simulataneously accused of being a sockpuppet of TheCurrencyGuy. I don't know whether Jahor12345 is a sockpuppet of TheCurrencyGuy or not, but the account was editing at exactly the same time as me on different articles during the morning of 3rd April 2024. My IP server began with detailed edits about the Egyptian pound, and then around noon, switched over to British currency in the Middle East. Meanwhile, editor Jahor12345 was editing across a wide range of currency topics, mainly reformatting. The editing styles are completely different. My IP server carried out edits at 1204hrs and 1206hrs, while Jahor12345 carried out an edit in the middle of that two minute period at 1205hrs. We couldn't possibly be the same person. I really would be most grateful if you could take a closer look at this matter, because otherwise I won't be able to edit on Wikipedia currency articles again without being accused of being a sockpuppet of TheCurrencyGuy.

Potential block evasion
Is this worth SPI or will a Simple block suffice (assuming you agree that this is evasion, of course)? Special:Contributions/Khan2004kashf and Special:Contributions/Anusmartmirror coincide 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Dotting i's and crossing t's
I assume you have notifications on, but just to be sure. You're mentioned at WP:AN. Floquenbeam (talk) 17:31, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- "mentioned" is a nice word. I am aware of the complaint, but thanks for the notification.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Page protection request
Hello Bbb23; I hope you are doing well. Can you please reconsider your recent decision (diff) regarding my request for the protection of List of oldest continuously inhabited cities? Again, besides the page suffering in general from frequent additions that violate WP:OR (including improper editorial synthesis), there is a persistent range of IPs that have been trying to add original research since the middle of February; their activity is clearly disruptive, and has been going on for months now. Unfortunately, I cannot be active on a daily basis, and the aforementioned range of IPs doesn't immediately disrupt the article following my reverts; this might give the appearance that there isn't enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Besides my proposals for a semi-protection or a range block (specifically for the aforementioned page), I believe that a pending changes protection should also be considered. If you have any other alternative proposals, please share them. Demetrios1993 (talk) 02:10, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Socking/upe/move warring
Bbb23, you recently asked me to refrain from move warring, even though those articles were created by UPE. Now, here is another possible sock/meat puppet, Dafydd y Corach, moving declined drafts to the main namespace after my draftification and using your warning as a shield. How to deal with such cases now? GSS 💬 08:37, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
@Zzuuzz: Thank you for taking care of them. Would you mind reverting their move? They might have violated WP:SOCK, as your block reason describes, and those articles are not yet ready for the main namespace, with one of them recently being declined. Thank you, GSS 💬 09:01, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Why revert?
Why did you revert here? I was trying to write a comment and it's frustrating when the comment that I'm replying to suddenly gets reverted. Please at least let me know at my talk page next time. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I just posted a message to your Talk page. I have no doubt your intentions are good, but the result of many of your posts is disruptive.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Revert deletions
Can you please revert my pages you deleted? I will move it to my userspace. Unknowndudeonwiki (talk) 13:29, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
False Accusation of Sockpuppetry relating to TheCurrencyGuy
Bbb23, I'd be most grateful if you could tend to the request above to check out what made you think that I am the same person as TheCurrecyGuy. You must know that we were using different IP addresses and editing with a different focus, mostly on different topics, albeit we both have an interest in currency related matters. I can assure you that I am not a sockpuppet of TheCurrencyGuy. I have no idea who he is and I have never interacted with him. Specialrequestaccount (talk) 00:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have nothing to say. Please don't post here again on this subject. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
LTA
Hey, I trust you’re doing well. I would be grateful if you could block the first account I’ve reported here or evaluate the report. I have already created an LTA report, but it doesn’t currently seem to speed up the process in any way. The sock is basically benefitting from the huge SPI backlog, and I have zero doubts about this account. Thank you, Aintabli (talk) 06:19, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
