 * Heh, thanks Kayau. I didn't realize this page existed. Sonia (talk) 09:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Yep, this page is the only page to request admin action (unless you count imports). Note: User:Leonardv has a similar editing pattern. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 09:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like QuiteUnusual blocked for a day. – Adrignola talk 12:13, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

194.72.50.238
This IP seems to be vandalising again after five months of inactivity. The topic seems to be again about cheese, so (s)he may be the same person. I'm not sure whether (s)he should be blocked, so I'm posting here anyway. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 12:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Blocked for one year. Thanks for pointing this out. --Jomegat (talk) 13:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Cross-wiki issues
I was a damned fool. I can't believe what I'd ruddy well done. I can't believe I invited Hoyojo here. I can't believe I actually thought Hoyojo and Ninety-nine years were two people at zh.wikibooks. I'm such an idiot. Anyways, please block user:Hoyojo and any socks listed here. He is a repeated vandal and sockpuppeteer according to the long term abuse profile at zh.wikipedia. Thank you.

 * Please have a CheckUser at zh.wikipedia or zh.wikibooks contact me with IP address information. – Adrignola talk 16:59, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Only ombudsmen, staff, stewards and Tim Starling have CU access at zhwp. I'll look into the LTA profile then, perhaps there are SPI requests... Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 02:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I can't find any SPI stuff, but I did find this Wikipedia Signpost article about him. The LTA profile is here btw. I'll contact Shizhao then. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 02:27, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ contacted Shizhao by email. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 02:35, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Note: Another sock is User:用戶. Adrignola, you were right about his being a 'vandal-in-waiting'... Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 09:39, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Also User:Twhk2011. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 10:02, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Both blocked. – Adrignola talk 17:44, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but you seem to have forgetten to block Hoyojo. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 10:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Did I? Only a temporary lapse. – Adrignola talk 13:03, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

User:Dune Harrow
Massive talkpage vandalism in progress. Please block User:Dune Harrow. --Stepheng3 (talk) 00:21, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Jomegat blocked this user. An underlying IP block has also been made. – Adrignola talk 01:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I will bookmark this page for future reference. --Stepheng3 (talk) 02:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

PSY153* Accounts
I've noticed a lot of accounts created recently beginning with PSY153 and Psy153. Probably a class, but none of the accounts have made any edits. Just something to keep an eye on. – Adrignola talk 19:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * One has blanked Human Sexuality and Gender. – Adrignola talk 16:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I corrected a typo involved with warning this user. If we get one more vandalism hit from this group it would make sense to check if they are all the same user. Thenub314 (talk) 19:09, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * More created yesterday and today... odd. No contributions. QU TalkQu 16:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Three edits by different accounts and all referring to sex. Then we have an older account (Walker_psy153) that started a book on sex and a course available called PSY 153 - Human Sexuality - it can't all be unrelated. So, hopefully students rather than vandals. QU TalkQu 17:32, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I used the check user tools to investigate two of the accounts, the IP's do come from a university with a course by this title. So QU's explanation that this is a large group of students seems quite likely.  Thenub314 (talk) 18:10, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
