Just some confirmation

I would just like to know if you posted this message on my talkpage? Thanks! E Wing (talk) 00:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

No, that was not me. As shown in your page history, it was the IP address, falsely signing my name. This is a person whom I caught vandalizing anonymously while pretending to be a good user, and he is not handling the outcome well. Thatcher 01:30, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry and Checkuser criteria

As an admin with Checkuser privileges, I notice that have abused or overused it. Please explain your criteria for running checkuser because you seem to lack discretion in using it. --Unico scopo conto (talk) 16:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Obviously based on your brilliant analysis I am covered in shame and should resign at once. Bye. Thatcher 16:54, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I really should get my eyes checked again. You don't want to know what I thought I read instead of "shame". Please do not resign, this page would be so boring ;-) Risker (talk) 16:58, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and your favorite little stalker would have no one to lust after in utterly inappropriate ways. Wait, that seems a good argument for retiring...Forget I said that.

I'm not even sure who this nut is, but he is a distant fourth place on my talk page twit list. Thatcher 17:52, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, no trophies for vandals. Thatcher 13:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I think they meant the composition of the bat with which to pound them mercilessly, Thatcher. ;) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 13:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Michigan Uni block

So, what do you say to giving Inks.LWC (talk · contribs) IPBE for a month? Spellcast (talk) 20:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

He's fine. I only softblocked the school but FT2 upped it to a hard block I guess. Thatcher 20:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Defender of the Wiki barnstar

Thatcher, today's Defender of the Wiki!

My first ever awarding of a barnstar to anyone, in 4+ years on the wiki.

For repeatedly (and with great skill and dedication) detecting some of the wiki's more persistent sock users, truly above the norm.

Absolutely, 100% agreed. Well earned, sir! - Alison ^❤ 02:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to pretend I was in #-checkuser and ditto this :) Daniel (talk) 02:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Oohrah, very well deserved. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Question

Does he seem to be quacking a bit much? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean. There is nothing unusual there but I don't know what I am looking for. Thatcher 05:24, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

He is having very similar name with confirmed Pax puppet (User:The Graet Duck) and he is only editing 2 "Pax" articles. This articles are Jasenovac i Gradiška Stara and Thompson (band). This 2 articles has been edited by 10 or more Pax pupets (example: CeoMaiy, Loopextra, Decensi...) and so..... I am sure that after check you will find Pax, or Washington IP is playing with us.--Rjecina (talk) 08:11, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

No, it's not the same person. Thatcher 00:30, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

TOR nodes

Gotta be some of those tonight -- see the block logs. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 05:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I plowed through this last night but I was pretty tired. I think I am  Done; there were a few that did not match the usual patterns for G or any of his usual copycats, though. Thatcher 00:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
