Userpage of blocked sockpuppet remains untagged

Hello Vanja; I hope you are doing well. Can you please tag the userpage of the indefinitely blocked sockpuppet Lumbarschen, per WP:SOCKTAG? It appears both you and EdJohnston – whom I also notified (here) prior to the archiving of the case (diff) – forgot it. Thanks in advance for your time. Demetrios1993 (talk) 01:45, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@Demetrios1993: Tagging is not always needed per WP:DENY. Why do you think it is necessary in this particular case? Vanjagenije (talk) 23:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the response Vanja. I don't know if you have an older revision of WP:DENY in mind (I didn't check earlier ones), but the only relevant text I see is the following:

• In general, "socktags" on blocked sockpuppets' user pages should only be added, removed, or modified by administrators or sockpuppet investigations clerks.

The relevant template {{sockpuppet}} gives the same reasonable guideline:

• Usage: In general, this template should only be applied by Administrators or Clerks as part of the Sockpuppet investigations process.

Regardless of that, even if the former did suggest cases which would deem the use of the aforementioned template unnecessary, shouldn't the common established procedures presented in WP:SPI/AI take precedence over an essay such as WP:DENY? To be honest, I thought it was a given to tag the userpages of indefinitely blocked sockpuppets, which also adds them to the – certainly useful for future investigations – "confirmed" and "suspected" categories.

On another note, shouldn't the remaining text from the already closed and archived 17 September 2024 case in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GJOLEKA, be either deleted or archived appropriately? It appears that it was unnecessarily copied from the Wikipedia talk namespace to the Wikipedia namespace (diff).

Thanks again for your time. Demetrios1993 (talk) 19:54, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ratnahastin

Hey Vanja, I closed the above report as a retaliatory filing. An editor other than the filer (I blocked the filer for edit-warring) has now jumped in with evidence they claim shows socking. They asked if they could reopen, and I said no, and the latest is "so what do I do". I'm still not convinced, but perhaps I'm being overly stubborn. If you have a moment, could you take a look at it and either reopen or archive it, whichever you think is appropriate? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:25, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Question

Hello, I am Cooldudeseven7. The article 15.ai was recently deleted as per an articles for deletion discussion. However, a draft of the article has been submitted here. Draft:15.ai The discussion of the deletion can be seen here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/15.ai (2nd nomination). What should I do? Thanks! Cooldudeseven7 _{join in on the tea talk} 12:27, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Cooldudeseven7: I took a look at the deleted article and it looks to me that the concerns that led to its deletion are not resolved in the draft. Thus, the deletion consensus still applies and the draft should not be moved to the namespace. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:54, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Alright, but if this is the case, since the article is under review, is there anything I can do to atleast stop it or no? Thanks! Cooldudeseven7 _{join in on the tea talk} 13:10, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Request

Hello Vanja (can I call you that?), would you mind looking at the translations of the Serbian-language refs for Kočani nightclub fire? I'm not a native Serbian speaker, so I did my best with the help of a dictionary, but I'd like someone to take a second look since the article is on the main page right now. I've already got a native Macedonian speaker, Andrew012p to look over the Macedonian refs. Thank you for any help you can provide. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 16:24, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

@Grumpylawnchair: What exactly should I check? Vanjagenije (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, within the refs, there is a "trans-title" parameter. It displays in brackets next to the original title. I'm asking you to verify the translations in that parameter for all the Serbian-language refs. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 18:53, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
