It did it again

Hi again GN - it did it again. Possibly relevant - this only seems to be happening if I override an existing block with a CU block. Girth Summit (blether) 16:37, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Grrr...okay, I'll look into this, that data point is helpful. I recently added some logic to grab data on existing blocks and pre-fill the forms, I wonder if something's getting messed up in there. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:00, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey - just a heads up, it's still happening. It was a re-block again. In case it helps, in this case I'm pretty confident that I unchecked the 'Add talk page notice when (re)blocking the sockmaster' box, but it added the notice anyway. Cheers Girth Summit (blether) 10:57, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
Girth Summit, I've pushed a new version that I think will fix it - let me know. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:09, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
Just got the same thing at [1][2]. --Blablubbs (talk) 15:55, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Blablubbs, I don't think User:GeneralNotability/spihelper.js has had the update yet. The dev version seems to have had the update to fix the issue. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 16:03, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
That darn "git push" button is so hard to find. I've cut a new release. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Sockpuppet block evasion

Hello, you blocked a year ago IP 213.149.159.237 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for being a sockpuppet of Angel Angel 2 (talk · contribs). This user is still active, so could you block it again? The sockpuppet investigation already determined they are the same person. Super Ψ Dro 08:57, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Super Dromaeosaurus, sure, done. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:59, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

DYK for RADCAL

On 13 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article RADCAL, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the RADCAL satellite, designed to have a three-year lifespan, operated for almost twenty? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/RADCAL. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, RADCAL), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Marcel is back

I'm not sure if you remember this guy or not from March and then back in November last year, but they are back attempting to push their longest novel again with a couple accounts. Since you have dealt with this guy prior I thought you may want to take a look Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marcelrayduriez. Their efforts this time include

I did not request a CU as most of his socks go right into trying to promote his books and not hide their effort. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 05:09, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Filter 1068

Just going through stale filters. Is 1068 still needed? Seems the content has been added to the article in question anyway. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 11:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

ProcrastinatingReader, nope, I've disabled it. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:51, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

You asked me, and I think I have already found one.

I really have no idea what this guy is doing. - AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 07:06, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

AssumeGoodWraith, I've got no idea either. I'll keep an eye on 'em. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:06, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
