SPI Comments

Hey, Mutt Lunker. Please reply to SPI in the appropriate section. I know exactly what the checkuser evidence looks like, as I am a checkuser and performed the check for this specific case. I cannot reveal the exact nature of that data, nor do I want to spill the beans, as it were, to the sockmaster who is aware of that SPI page. There is no doubt that these are the same user, and they have essentially admitted it publicly already. The check was to uncover new accounts since the last SPI, and that check happened to confirmed what was already revealed the first time around. Happy to answer further questions here, but keep in mind I can't go into details on the CU data. -- ferret (talk) 23:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I know why the checks were made, am not casting doubt on the results and am not requesting exact details of this individual case. I had been filing comments in the correct section but when in direct response to comments of yours, to fragment the dialogue further looked weird. Apologies if that was the wrong choice. You used the term "Technically indistinguishable", formatted, bolded and with a tick symbol, which would appear to indicate a defined generic term regarding what had been uncovered. I'm asking for confirmation that this term has such a definition, presumably laid out somewhere in Wikipedia (I couldn't find such an entry). Is there somewhere on Wikpedia that explains in general the kind of thing that the term can indicate? Mutt Lunker (talk) 08:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@Mutt Lunker I searched around some but could not really find any sort of "definition" page for the various indicators we use. They're kinda used by long term convention and often mean exactly what they say. This is such a case. Technically indistinguishable means that literally, as far as checkuser data goes. all the various fields and available information for the users in question is an exact match. There is no way to tell them apart from checkuser data. -- ferret (talk) 13:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
