Sock query

The IP addresses are a well known sock. Dougweller (talk) 21:38, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Which ones and what are you talking about? Mr. Sort It Out (talk) 12:01, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

It is a user who obsessively pushes a POV on infoboxes, over a period of years. In the discussions there are usually multiple accounts, writing the same messages to each other. Avaya1 (talk) 14:55, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

POV?? Lol. In every page I went to I used a discussion, and never did any changed without a discussion on the talk page first. You never used a talk page and are pushing people you decide should be in without a discussion.

Aside from sock-puppeting with multiple different anonymous IPs, he also uses the Off-shell account. Avaya1 (talk) 00:36, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Lol that is funny :-D Are you saying me and User:Off-shell are the same one?? You really are mental. Mr. Sort It Out (talk) 07:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

I got notified that this discussion is happening here. This is really weird. I see this user Avaya1 doing all the time some edits and refusing to discuss anything on the talk pages of the articles. Now, he/she is getting really insulting. What is a procedure in such cases? Should we go for some kind of arbitration? --Off-shell (talk) 18:17, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible? Is there any procedure we can take against him? Because it is getting ridiculous. I took a look at his contribution history... reverting without discussion seems to be his pattern. Rarely he does use the talk page, but the question is... how does he decide when to use it? And how come no matter how much I begged him to join the discussion on Ashkenazi Jews, Russian Jews and Israeli Jews, he still refused? I mean, if he is in his right mind, then by now he must no that revert warring won't get him anywhere because he'll simply get reverted. So why does he do it anyway? I don't know much about Wikipedia procedures, but if there is some "legal action" we can take against him, I'd love to take it. His behaviour is of a pure troll!

This link Wikipedia:AE seems to describe how to complain or has some further links. Probably this one is the first step: Wikipedia:Dispute resolution#Resolving user conduct disputes. --Off-shell (talk) 21:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Evgeny Kissin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Collage

Hi, if you find some time, could you have a look by at the collage on the page History of the Jews in Azerbaijan and discuss my proposal on Talk:History of the Jews in Azerbaijan#Collage?

Besides, on the page Persian Jews, the 1st row in the collage shows art images of biblical characters. I think there was an agreement somewhere to include on such pages only pictures depicting the real appearance of the persons, not imaginary representations. But I'm not sure if and where this was decided.

Thanks. --Off-shell (talk) 09:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
