About copyright infringement and spoofing on kerokerowikiwwiki
I don't know where to report it, so I write it here. "mh:kerokerowikiw:" is a blatant piracy. The main page is from Chakuwiki and the logo is from Japanese Wikipedia. Also, all posted articles are copied from content on other wikis such as Wikipedia (For example, "2019年コロナウイルス感染症による社会・経済的影響", original), Uncyclopedia (For example, "この人痴漢です!", original), Chakuwiki (For example, "もしあの水生生物が存在しなかったら", original), and Tanukipedia (For example, "Tanukipedia:Tanukipediaについて", original). And, the administrator of this wiki, "ネイ", is impersonating the administrator of Japanese Wikipedia. I hope this wiki will be closed soon. Schwarz ・ Talk /  ウソペディア  12:52, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Similarly, User:Minorax also seems to be impersonating a Wikipedia user.-- Schwarz ・ Talk /  ウソペディア  11:21, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I've had a look into your report yesterday, and it was exactly how you described it. I have noted this on the channel yesterday. I hope someone will look into your report soon enough, though. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:19, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * This will need a thorough review, in order to assess whether any infringement was made in good-faith or not and whether remediation, as a private, locked wiki, would be possible. That being said, the potential impersonation concerns do concern me as well, so I'm going to approach that aspect of this report first. Dmehus (talk) 15:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

I deleted the group burocraut
Sorry, I create my wiki recently (JdaNeco), but I deleted the group burocraut and now I can't manage my wiki. Jdaneco (talk) 04:53, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Jdaneco ✅ after recreating the  group with the default permissions. As a best practice when changing around or deleting user groups, especially those involving the   user right, please ensure you add yourself to the new user group first (or you've added the   user right to an existing group you already have first) prior to deleting any duplicate user groups.

All The Tropes - request for Checkuser
We placed User:Xandermartin98 on an indefinite block on 2017-12-19. We have had two independent complaints that edits by User:InterestingPerson appear to be the same style and subject matter as those of User:Xandermartin98. We request a Checkuser on grounds of suspicion of ban evasion. --Robkelk (talk) 11:15, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Robkelk Firstly, please note that technical data available in the CheckUser tool is only retained for ninety (90) days, and that user does not appear to have edited globally on Miraheze since being blocked on your wiki. Second, can you point to a few of the most compelling diffs made by InterestingPerson that is likely related to Xandermartin98 by also linking to the best diffs from Xandermartin98? Finally, given the span of time, my preference would be for you to locally warn and/or block InterestingPerson in line with your wiki's local policies, and specifically point out to them user accounts policy, a global policy. If InterestingPerson then attempts to evade their block by creating new accounts, you can file a further report regarding likely contraventions of user accounts policy. Dmehus (talk) 13:53, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * The four specific edits made by InterestingPerson that prompted myself and one of our users to independently suspect the possibility of ban evasion are:
 * Blog post
 * Duplicate blog post
 * Edit to "Running Gag/Fan Works"
 * A mention of XanderMartin98's writing buried in a much larger edit
 * As for comparisons, I will dig through Xandermartin98's edit history to find something appropriate, but the issue is not so much repeated content as repeated themes and obsessions. In particular InterestingPerson's characterization of an obscure plot device which failed to pass muster as a trope -- originally proposed by Xandermartin98 and key to the particular fetishistic bent of his writing -- as "one of the most iconic tropes in Western Animation" struck us as uniquely and bizarrely echoing Xandermartin98's particular preoccupations.  InterestingPerson has also demonstrated a similar focus as Xandermartin98 on specific characters from certain cartoons, such as Di Lung from Courage the Cowardly Dog.
 * We will in the mean time address this on a local level and look for behaviors that indicate that they are one and the same. Thank you for your time.  -- Looney Toons (talk) 18:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Looney Toons Thank you for your follow-up regarding Robkelk's report. The last diff is perhaps the most compelling. I did also note this diff from New XanderMartin98. Unfortunately, that account seems to be abandoned. Nevertheless, taken together, it does suggest the user may be creating multiple accounts to edit on your wiki in contravention of user accounts policy. Dmehus (talk) 18:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah! I knew we had dealt with him more recently than 2017; I just didn't remember the "New" variant on his username.  As it so happens, another ATT mod saw your reply overnight and by the time I checked this morning, InterestingPerson had already been banned as an evader/sockpuppet.  Thank you again for your time and effort. -- Looney Toons (talk) 13:54, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * InterestingPerson has admitted to being Xandermartin98. Screencap here. Since he has admitted to using multiple accounts to bypass a community block, I leave it up to the Stewards to determine whether he is in violation of global policy. (As for his statement in that post that we refused to listen to him, we specifically asked him to communicate with us on at least one matter, with no reply. If he wants us to listen, he has to speak.) --Robkelk (talk) 23:24, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @Dmehus: In the last day or so, we've realized a few other new users -- all of whom registered their accounts within a couple weeks of InterestingPerson's registration -- stopped editing around the time that InterestingPerson was banned. Could we please get a CheckUser against User:InterestingPerson, User:Ogleguy2000, User:Cwf1997, and User:ChristianFrates97?  Thank you.  -- Looney Toons (talk) 12:20, 14 April 2021 (UTC) Looney Toons (talk) 12:20, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Looney Toons Thank you for the follow-up. I've looked through all the contributions for Ogleguy2000, and some of the contributions for the other two users; however, I'm not seeing any contributions to the pages where an InterestingPerson and Xandermartin98 previously edited, so I'm not satisfied that there's likely to be potential abuse of user accounts policy worthy of a CheckUser investigation. If you can link to specific diffs by one of the three users and either InterestingPerson or Xandermartin98, that would be helpful. In absence of that, I would say, just keep an eye on the edits, and do follow up if any of the users happens to edit in a significantly similar manner to InterestingPerson or Xandermartin98. Thanks.

Wretched YouTube Videos Wiki needs to shut down
This wiki has a lot of Content Policy violations as well as articles copied and pasted from the (now closed and private) Atrocious YouTubers Wiki and Horrible Vyonders Wiki, as well as the (still available) mh:rottenwebsites:Rotten Websites Wiki and mh:terribletvshows:Terrible TV Shows Wiki. Proof. A lot of these articles are unsources. MarioMario456 (talk) 14:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your report. This has already been reported in . I do have some concerns regarding the wiki, but it may not be so much as to necessitate deletion. I've proposed a few possible solutions to other Stewards, and am just waiting to hear back from them. Dmehus (talk) 14:51, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Not sure if this matters at all, but the wiki copied and pasted a page that I created for Rotten Websites Wiki without asking me and I got a rude private message from one of the admins (not a threat, but still mean-spirited) after reporting the page for plagiarism from my own page. I think something needs to be done, but not a deletion. ChessPiece21 (talk) 13:37, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Loathsome Characters Wiki (Alex's Version)
I'm so sick and tired of the overuses of Why He/She/They Suck(s) every single time. That's why I decided to make this same wiki, only that actually uses Why He's/She's/They're Loathsome and Why He's/She's/They're Loathsome nowadays, and not just Why He/She/They Suck(s), Bad Qualities, Why He/She/They Sucked, Why He/She/They Suck(s) In This Season, Why He/She/They Used To Suck and Why He/She/They Suck(s) Now. I like you to honor and redeem my wiki. You sent March 29 at 6:17 PM None of the others would except, so your the only one who can. You sent March 29 at 6:17 PM I'm begging you. You sent March 29 at 6:19 PM The database name may not contain non-alphanumeric characters. That's what it keeps saying every time I try submitting, and to submit it. You sent March 29 at 6:19 PM The database name may not contain non-alphanumeric characters. That's what it keeps saying every time I try submitting, and to submit it. Loathsome Characters Wiki (Alex's Version) The other one is trash these days. You're allowed to add in the same characters on the first wiki to here, and the Great Characters Wiki on both Miraheze and Fandom are allowed to have Why He's/She's/They're Great on there which makes no sense on why you're forbidden to use Why He's/She's/They're Loathsome on that wiki which is still complete bull to this very day. Your staff chose decline and say it's never gonna happen, it will happen, those jerks just choose not to. That's why you're a better person than those guys on that wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexkrzywicki1 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 9 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Now that this section has been restored, I will relay the message I posted to you on the Discord #general channel here. Dmehus said that you are allowed to make a wiki that has a similar scope to the Loathsome Characters Wiki, however you cannot also use the name "Loathsome Characters Wiki", you will need to choose a different name. Additionally, the error that says "The database name may not contain non-alphanumeric characters." is because you included invalid characters in the "Wiki URL" field on Special:RequestWiki. You can only use the alphabet and numbers, no dashes, underscores, or other special characters. You can try re-creating your wiki request with that in mind.

Similar username
I noticed the username "Reception321" on the Public Test Wiki today. It was created on August 25, 2020 (source) but I'm wondering here if this might be a username misuse?

DarkMatterMan4500
What a complete imbecile, he said "I gave him a burning threat," he clearly overreacted to that, and besides, a threat would more be like "I'll kill you," and that is something I have not said.

 * Please avoid calling other users names. If you have a legitimate concern regarding a user, please be sure to provide appropriate evidence in the form of diffs. Personally, from my perspective, I would suggest the two of you avoid interacting with each other&mdash;that is to say, you focus on editing on your recently approved and created wiki, which DarkMatterMan4500 created for you, and DarkMatterMan4500 will focus on his wikis.

Leerdoman74......
For the past month or so, Leerdoman74 has been giving not only me, but a lot of grief. And just yesterday, he suddenly attacked us over MarioMario456 doing an election on the  where he wanted to be a bureaucrat of that wiki. Have a look at his edits and pay close attention to the revisions where he made the personal attacks. Also, you should be well aware of his sockpuppet accounts like Leerdoman56, and Leerdoman64. I don't know what we should do about him, but this has gone out of hand, and I'm just getting tired of him sending personal attacks against anyone else. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:40, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * DarkMatterMan4500 Firstly, it is not against user accounts policy for Leerdoman74 to have multiple accounts, and in looking at Leerdoman56's and Leerdoman64's global contributions, I don't see a user accounts policy contravention, as they're not using those accounts to circumvent local blocks or other restrictions. Secondly, this seems like a multi-party dispute between you and MarioMario456, and Leerdoman74. As such, it is one that would require a detailed examination of all parties' behaviour in order to arrive at a mediated solution. Dmehus (talk) 14:49, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh. I mean, while it's true that it's permitted, but not for misuse, so what can we do about it though? :/ DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:51, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 But that's the thing, as I said above, Leerdoman74 does not appear to have misused their alternate accounts. Dmehus (talk) 14:59, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * So I guess we should probably let this go for now, right? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:00, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Leerdoman's main has been locked by MrJaroslavik after some chat on Discord. MarioMario456 (talk) 17:12, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 18:45, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And he's back, and he admitted it. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:30, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And it seems like he has gotten worse as he has been persistently rude in his response to a question that I was asking Leordman76. Even if Leerdoman76's original account is locked, he has evaded his locks using multiple accounts. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:52, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Why did you continuously revert the IP user's responses to your question posed? Dmehus (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Good question. It's mainly because of how rude the response was. I wanted this to end anyway, so maybe I could just stop right there. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:56, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be a good idea. It's often best just not to respond in these sort of situations, and in fairness, you did ask the question. Dmehus (talk) 14:58, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * So what will happen at this moment? It appears the IP editor has admitted to being Leerdoman74 by rudely replying to me anyway, as he was locked just a few days ago. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:00, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't feel any action is needed at this moment. Dmehus (talk) 15:02, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Delete my wiki
Hi! Can you delete my wiki? It's been dead for quite a while but I think minor edits made to the homepage have kept it alive for longer than the 6 months dormancy policy. Thank you so much! --Narissa 02:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Narissa Apologies for the delay in responding to your request. Looking at RC on your wiki, I'm seeing the last edit or logged action was 5 November 2020, which means that your wiki should be automatically marked as deleted on or around 5 May 2021. So, I will instead place this request, if it's alright with you, until 6 May 2021 (which, incidentally, is also my birthday). If your wiki has not be marked automatically for deletion on that date, I will manually delete it for you per your request. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 23:47, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Enable interwiki link to italian wikipedia for my wiki
Hi, could you please add an interwiki prefix to italian Wikipedia (e.g wp:) to my wiki? Thanks. M.22 (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Please note that I have moved this thread here as your wiki is private and Interwiki Administrators cannot handle requests from private wikis. Thank you. 17:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * R4356th Community noticeboard is still the best venue for interwiki prefix additions on public or private wikis, whether handled by stewards or interwiki administrators, as interwiki administrators can offer to add interwiki prefixes on private wikis if they're temporarily granted the  user group. In this case, I don't think it's a big deal that it was moved to stewards' noticeboard, so it can probably stay here, but feel free to move it back to community noticeboard if you prefer.

concordance.miraheze.org auto-inactive exemption request
Could you please disable auto-inactive/close on concordance.miraheze.org, for D&D group that's inactive due to COVID. It's still used for reference. CariTheKitty (talk) 04:32, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * CariTheKitty Thank you for your request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy for your, which I've now assessed. In terms of need, this is easily met, in my view, as you are the only recently active contributor to the wiki and the contributor who has made more than 97% of all editing contributions to the wiki. In terms of your wiki's content, while it's a bit light in terms of number of content pages (i.e., quantity), you do have a number of what appear to be original character and artwork creations that would be potentially devastating if lost. As well, in terms of quality or depth of content, a number of your content pages are quite long, some of which are very long (i.e., the byte size of page(s)). So, given that, I'm going to ✅ your request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy as indefinitely as a fictional worldbuilding and presumed original character/artwork repository wiki with few recently active contributors and content that is meant to be read by real people. Please do be advised that this exemption is not permanent but rather indefinite, so should your needs change or you no longer require this exemption, please let us know at this noticeboard.

Dormancy Exemption Request for Shadowrun TTRPG Gaming Server
Good evening,

I am one of the co-admins of a Shadowrun 5th edition LC (essentially a gathering of players that play together on a single server, under the same ruleset and in a persistent world). We have been using Miraheze for a while to gather all the resources that we use for our gaming, however, we are mostly based on Discord.

Due to being mostly off-site, and only using the wiki as consultation, and due to Shadowrun's age and the fact that we have mostly squared out most of the changes we would like to make to the ruleset for the foreseeable future, we have not been editing and adding new things to the wiki regularly. Even then, Miraheze has been quite nice for us, as a place to focus our reading, since it can be quite daunting for new and old players to find every rule out there, and we'd like to avoid using something slower and less universally accessible as Google Sheets.

For this reason, I would like to request the exemption of our wiki at Neon Jungle Living Community Wiki, given that although we do use the wiki, it is mostly for consultation, and not many edits are happening regularly enough to prevent in full the Dormancy Policy from striking through sheer activity. ArisuSensei (talk) 23:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ArisuSensei Thank you for your request for an exemption to Dormancy Policy for your, which I've now assessed. In terms of content, I do find that your wiki has a fairly extensive set of content pages related to your gaming community, which contains your written prose, rules, and other resources. In terms of need, with only three editors on the wiki, each of whom edit it sporadically and somewhat infrequently, this is also met. Moreover, and perhaps most crucially, much of your content is fairly complete and used as a resource, so there's even less need for regular editing and activity than perhaps there was before. Thus, I'm going to ✅ this exemption indefinitely as a resource for your gaming community which is infrequently edited. Please be advised that this is an indefinite, and not permanent exemption, so should your wiki's activity change such that you no longer require an exemption, please do let us know via this noticeboard. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 00:45, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot, Dmehus! I'll definitely let you know, in case we don't need the exemption anymore. ArisuSensei (talk) 11:56, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

 * R4356th ✅. Dmehus (talk) 14:40, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Spam-only accounts on that needs locking:

 * JohnieHolliday
 * AletheaWardell
 * VanessaCanchola

They are spambots that have triggered the abuse logs more than multiple times and they need to be locked. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:22, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * DarkMatterMan4500 I'll ✅ these spam only accounts, but for the future, if you could wait until you have, say, at least ten (10) spam only accounts to lock, that would be preferred&mdash;at least for those which are only hitting the abuse filters. If they're getting past the abuse filters, then that's a different story, and you can report them individually or as a small batch. Dmehus (talk) 19:37, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. On that note, I'll make a big batch of separate spam-only accounts if they trigger the abuse logs next time. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:07, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 20:32, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Do these usernames violate the Username Policy?

 * Wedhroeesagonononcapiteuncazzo
 * Wedhro il Puppatarzanelli di Oranghi
 * Wedhro Merdaccia
 * Wedhro il Puliculi di Rinoceronti
 * Wedhro Merda
 * Wedhro lo Slappacacatoni di Tucani
 * MANDIAMO WEDHRO A PULIRE I CESSI
 * Fantinaikosmerda

While yes, they are indeed old, but should they be locked on account of them being Username policy violations? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:23, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * DarkMatterMan4500 Yes, all ✅ as Username Policy violations and long-term abuse. These were likely just missed as that LTA has been quite prolific at creating vandalism only accounts. Did you find these from searching the nonciclopediawiki's Special:ListUsers list, or from typing similar usernames into Special:CentralAuth? Dmehus (talk) 20:37, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The latter, of course. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:39, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 Oh okay, I was just curious, and actually thought you were going to say the former. Dmehus (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah almost forgot one:
 * Wedhroseiunpezzodimerdafigliodiputtana DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:41, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. ✅ also. Dmehus (talk) 20:43, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Almost forgot these ones as well: Wedhro il Degustanerchie di Muli Wedhro il Degustanerchie di Muli DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:27, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ too. Dmehus (talk) 23:29, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You forgot to lock the second one I've linked to as well. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:30, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The second one you linked is the same as the first one, unless that was a typographical error? If so, what's the second one? Dmehus (talk) 23:31, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * This one. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:32, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And this will be my last one on Username policy violations for the rest of today. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:34, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Both now ✅ as well. Dmehus (talk) 23:35, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Hopefully, that should be it on those LTAs for now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:41, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I found more: Wedhromerda2, Fantinaikosfattiicazzituoi, Wedhrolezzo, Mi eccito sessualmente vandalizzando Ninjaclopedia. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:17, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 . While the first and third are definitely bad-faith Username Policy violations, the other two may not be. In any case, they're all long-term abuse, so have been ✅. Dmehus (talk) 14:34, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

I quit and I want my account globaled
I was falsely banned and accused of being a user named WG8686 in which I never heard of. I worked on good pages on the reception wikis, and they treat me like this? Please global my account.

Thank you, Crowbar (talk) 17:07, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Crowbar I'm sorry to hear that. I'll urge you to reconsider, as I'm not certain why DarkMatterMan4500 and DeciduousWater534 have suspected you to be related to Willg8686, as I'm personally not seeing the relation based on my quick look so far. It would displease me if their suspicions are indeed incorrect. Dmehus (talk) 17:12, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ill reconsider as long as they don't falsely ban me, I spent a bunch of time on these wikis. And they might delete my work, I am scared... Crowbar (talk) 17:14, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Also they use the sockpuppet term incorrectly, instead of just saying alternative account. Crowbar (talk) 17:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Crowbar Do you have any alternate/alternative accounts, though? If so, which prior username(s) have you used? Dmehus (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * No I don't, I only used this account only Crowbar (talk) 17:23, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

We started to suspect that he is a sockpuppet because we know that Willg (WG8686) is a known fan of WWE, and Crowbar asked why a page about one of their games was deleted. This arouses three questions: How does he know the page's creator was blocked for sockpuppeting? How does he know about the page getting deleted? And how does he know what the page looked like prior to deletion? --DeciduousWater534 (talk) 17:22, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Being a fan of something is not a valid reason of accusing me of being a user I don't even know... It's like Smallafro Games being a fan of WWE, and you guys accuse him of being a user he doesn't know. Crowbar (talk) 17:24, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Also can you use the term alternative accounts instead of sockpuppeting, it's often misused. Crowbar (talk) 17:25, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DeciduousWater534 for that. Good questions, and good diff. While Crowbar could know that the page was deleted and who created it from the page creation and deletion logs, your point is a good one in that they would not have access to view the content of the page. Crowbar, how did you know what the content of the page was, and why it was deleted? Dmehus (talk) 17:26, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I remembered being a guest (having no miraheze account) and checked out pages before I made a account on here. I usually read pages on Reception Wikis can I can learn how to make pages like those. Crowbar (talk) 17:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And I checked out the page way before it was deleted. Crowbar (talk) 17:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

I advise doing a CheckUser, I have a feeling this discussion is going to go nowhere without one. --DeciduousWater534 (talk) 17:36, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Its obviously not going to show up as multiple accounts, since my account is newer than that user... Crowbar (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * And not to be mean, DeciduousWater. You are kinda a hypocrite there, since you falsely ban me without checking me first... Crowbar (talk) 17:39, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Dmehus is doing the CheckUser right now, let's just wait and see what he has to say when he's done. --DeciduousWater534 (talk) 17:41, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind, I am using a public internet connection. So it may be wrong. Crowbar (talk) 17:42, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I have some suspicions about Crowbar. Usually when WillG makes a sockpuppet, he usually edits the Plotagon page on Rotten Websites Wiki (1 2 3 4 5 6 7). Whenever he gets accused of sockpuppeting, he plays the victim and keeps saying we have different IPs, like he did when he used IvanTheGreat and Zangoose. When he realizes he is about to get locked for abuse of accounts, he requests his account to get locked so it won't look like he's a sockpuppet in the Global Account logs like he's doing right now. There's a lot more evidence but that would take forever, so I put the most important evidence. I think Crowbar is WillG. InspecterAbdel (talk) 18:07, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Crowbar Your account has now been ✅ for abusing multiple accounts in contravention of user accounts policy. You would've done yourself well to not engage in a deliberate act of deception. If you do wish to rejoin Miraheze, I'd strongly recommend you wait at least six months, then e-mail Stewards to discuss an appeal of your originally locked account and how you plan to edit on Miraheze, that you will use only one account, and that you will appeal any in-force local blocks through the proper channel(s).
