Roccodrift SPI

Came up negative according to you -- MastCell dropped in and says he intends to block Roccodrift as a "duck" sock anyways - but there was no such evidence provided, and I found minimal overlap between Belchfire and Roccodrift at all, and no sign that they would use exotic measures which MrX says are trivial to do - thus no evidence other than MC knowing he must be a sock of someone. If the criterion for blocking as a sock is simply finding an admin to say "it is a sock" after a CU occurred and others demurred on such a finding, SPI is pretty useless. Cheers.

Collect, I never said it was negative. I said I saw no sleepers, and as I usually put, but neglected this time is "No immediate sleepers". CU is not magic pixie dust, and it's not 100% conclusive. It is only a tool that can assist with finding socks. Now there is also a second admin who has came in and concurred with MastCell's assessment. As I checkuser, I try and remain as an objective party and only wear one hat at a time, except in stupidly obvious cases, or time sensitive cases, and therefore will not be commenting on the case. You are welcome to get a third opinion though. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 00:10, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

A decline at AFC

I know this is ancient history, but some of these old declines are just coming to light as a result of CSD G13 reviews. Just in case you are still declining articles on the same basis, I would like to point out to you that the comment in this decline is completely incorrect. Non-English sources are perfectly acceptable for both verification and establishing notability, see WP:NONENG. Your decline merely resulted in an article being posted to mainspace without any sources at all, ie, an even worse article. SpinningSpark 20:27, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Ya...at four years ago almost, I can say I didn't know that many policies on WP and I'm well aware of the current policy. I apologize for the even worse article making it out to the mainspace, but I'm completely not involved in AFC at this time, and have been out of it for a darn long time. -- DQ on the road (ʞlɐʇ) 21:10, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

CU block of Unfitlouie

I see you blocked Unfitlouie (talk · contribs) after running a CU. There's an SPI open about him: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Notabede. Can you comment there about Notabede (talk · contribs)? If my block was in error, I should unblock him. Toddst1 (talk) 20:51, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

With the case closed, I'll just comment here. As I remember, I found 4 socks on that check, and these are the same people. The had been blocked several times for edit warring over a few accounts, but again it's all off of memory. I don't see any issue (though I haven't looked into it) with your block. -- DQ on the road (ʞlɐʇ) 21:15, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Something's up with DeltaQuadBot

Ahoy there DeltaQuad.

I don't know if you're aware of this but apparently your bot seems to have shut down on it's duty at WP:UAA/BOT? There's a discussion about it at the bot owners noticeboard.

Y'all take care now. MM (Report findings) (Past espionage) 02:19, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
