Can I request an SPI / Hacked account request of myself?
I am planning to come back to editing after an extended hiatus, historically I do not avoid editing pages where emotions can run high and misunderstandings are not as infrequent as we may like. I am also moving to another country in the immediate future, which might complicate SPI / hacked account investigations later. As such I am requesting confirmation that there is evidence that the person making this edit is likely the same person as who has made the previous edits connected to my account. Sorry for the OS change, I will make amends some time in the future ;) un☯mi 11:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Cross-wiki collaboration
Hello, users from Japanese Wikipedia will report あすぺるがあすぺしゃりすと (talk · contribs)'s sockpuppets (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/あすぺるがあすぺしゃりすと) on ja:Wikipedia:管理者伝言板/投稿ブロック/ソックパペット#ASPE, which made it possible for a cross-wiki collaboration on that case instead of catching them one by one, by ourselves. Is there anyone who are interesting in linking these two pages? -Lemonaka 04:03, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- I thought the main problem with this case is that Meta admins aren't fast enough to lock accounts that we encounter, or that Japanese Wikipedia admins don't report them to Meta. Not sure what we should be doing to collaborate more here. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 12:27, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Very🤔. Sysops from Japanese Wikipedia don't like distinguishing one LTA from another, they usually mark all of them as "sockpuppet", while requesting global lock for an account needs they are blocked on more than two projects or at least confirmed as a specific LTA. That's something need to be improved due to bureaucratic system, or we will have to check them again and again. -Lemonaka 05:24, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- One of the major gap of the current system is that CU from different languages and sister projects often don't talk to one another. This leads to piecemeal blocks on confirmed sockpuppets even if the evidence is 100% confirmed. You may have a sock blocked on Commons but same account continues to edit here or Wikidata.

- And global lock requirements for such socks are unclear, mostly depend on the stewards who dealt with cases. E.g. isechika case and risto hot sir case.
What about a GHBH sock of a long term user? E.g. planespotterA320 case
Will write something on meta after I ended my internship... -Lemonaka 08:48, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
