BiH SPI

I'm hoping for the best with the new SPI you opened, but my experience there to date has not been hugely successful. Seems to me you really have to lead the clerk by the nose until they authorize checkuser. If you can think of any ways to lay it out piece...by...piece until it's nearly ironclad, that would help. — Brianhe (talk) 21:27, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, my understanding of SPI is that for good reason there's an high evidence bar that they are strict about. I've listed it per DGG suggestion. The sockfarm around it has been checked out, but it appears to be only scratching the surface. Widefox; talk 08:01, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DAB question

Hi Widefox, thanks for the discussion on Transbay. So I saw this DAB: Must (disambiguation). So it looks like that entries 3 and 4 are PTMs, right?Mistakefinder (talk) 07:38, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited DUP programming language, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Solaris (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Trance COI mass-tagging

I've already commented on your proposed deletion of A State of Trance, but I see you've tagged a large number of trance-related articles for many issues, especially Conflict of Interest. In at least one case you say "promo article, undisclosed COI sockfarm. Pls take to SPI". So far I haven't found any named editors in common (save bots) among these articles. Which, if it's a sockfarm, one perhaps wouldn't. But do you have a list of the account(s) you believe to have the CoI? Do you have the results from a sockpuppet investigation? I guess what I'm saying is: I believe heavy tactics require strong evidence—and even if there's a trance-related promotional sockfarm on the loose that doesn't mean every article they touch needs to be deleted. After all, it's not like Lange isn't notable within the genre.

Oh, wait, is the CoI for ASOTMKX? I see they've been blocked as a sock, and their user page is like a Who's Who of trance music. But many of their edits to these pages were three years ago, with a reasonable amount of other users' activity on the pages since. Anyway if you have a list of the users and/or pages you gave the ol' deletionist steamroller to I would appreciate the chance to go around trying to polish them into shape.
