Dear Administrator, I would like to report somethjng.
Dear Editor, I want to inform that I first created an account two days ago after working as a non-member in a document related to my report. First, I am the same person with 106.255.241.210, which edited in the document that related to my report.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Milktaco/Archive
According to this link, I found that you are keeping an eye on the suspected suckpuppet, the user "Bestokuyam" and blockibg him as soon as he caughted.
And two days ago, I found a user "Olafugurfson" who are suspecteed as same person, the suckpuppets "Bestokuyam and Milktaco".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bestokuyam
This is the sockpippets man who you blocked 4 years ago.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Olafgurfson
And this new account is the suspected man that I want you to report.This account were created two months ago.
Besto and Olfu have almost identical editorial details. In particular, Olafu restored all the contributions of Besto.Such contributions were deleted by other users when Besto was captured and blocked four years ago in 2020. I mean, that was deleted four years ago, and most users didn't even know that such contributions were even existed past. And just last month, these contributed were mostly restored, which was added by Besto, in the link added above.
You can easily find those contributions at his personal page.
It's my first time editing Wikipedia and I doubt if I'm allowed to do this. If not, please forgive my disrespect.
I deleted the other pharases in my report.
Sbowman is pretending that im his alt, dont listen to him. what i wrote exposed his tactics of sockpuppetry and dishonesty, ill put it back up:
Sbowman3452 is a sock of the banned sockpuppet master Bablos939 and Marryhence both edited the same prostitution articles, Prostitution in Malaysia, they both are Korean nationalists who delete stuff about Korean prostitutes, they use the same broken english claimng wikipedia edits as "documents" and they both are obsessed with the same sockpuppet rivals, Milktaco (Rajmaan). Thats the evidence for them being the same
here they both refer to edits as "documents" using broken English with Korean grammar.

Talk:Interracial_marriage/Archive_3#This_document_contains_false_information_about_Chinese_marriage.
Both Sbowman3452 and Bablos939 edited prostitution in Malaysia
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prostitution_in_Malaysia&diff=prev&oldid=945026534
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prostitution_in_Malaysia&diff=prev&oldid=1219639041
both Sbowman3452 and Bablos939 are obsessed with Milktaco sockpuppet accounts and reverting their edits, while he is also a sockpuppet himself.
Sbowman3452 and his ip address 106.255.241.210 are not just deleting Olafgurfson edits, he deleted edits not done by Olafgurfson on Massage parlor and Prostitution in Asia, deleting stuff about Korean prostitutes, so Sbowman3452 is clearly not interested in deleting alleged sock edits but wants to delete everything about Korean prostitutes. He refused to address to John B123 on why he was deleting Korean prostitutes from Massage parlor, which was not made by Olafgurfson. He's pretending all the edits he are reverting are by Olafgurfson or Milktaco socks.

Bablos939 had a Seoul based ip address 116.123.12.44 helping him just like Sbowman3452 and his ip address 106.255.241.210 which is also in Seoul.

The editor Marryhence was obsessed with attacking Chinese women and calling Chinese women prositututes, using citations allegedly from the South Korean Ministry of Gender Equality & Family, typing in broken Korean style English
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prostitution_in_South_Korea&diff=prev&oldid=944340377
Sbowman3452 tries to delete material about Korean women being prostitutes by citing the South Korean Ministry of Gender Equality & Family,
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prostitution_in_Asia&diff=prev&oldid=1219637409
Marryhence was obsessed with deleting edits about Chinese men interracial marriage
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interracial_marriage&diff=prev&oldid=905013760
Bablos939 was obsessed with deleting edits about Chinese men interracial marriage
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interracial_marriage&diff=prev&oldid=961273411
Marryhence edited claims that Chinese women are prostitutes in Malaysia
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prostitution_in_Malaysia&diff=prev&oldid=944305449
Bablos939 edited claims that Chinese women are prostitutes in Malaysia (and was reverted for distorting the citation)
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prostitution_in_Malaysia&diff=prev&oldid=945026534
Marryhence and Sbowman3452 both edited the prostitution in the United Arab Emirates article.
Sbowman3452 is also engaging in cross wiki vandalism, removing information on Korean prostitutes from Chinese wikipedia, German wikipedia and Russian wikipedia citing the same South Korean ministry that Marryhence cited for his edits on Prostitution in south Korea.
Those edits are totally unrelated to the account he is accusing of being a sock, just like his edits on English wikipedia at Massage Parlor and Prostitution in Asia. The commonality in all of his edits across his accounts is that he removes everything about Korean prostitutes.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Beitr%C3%A4ge/Sbowman3452
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7%E8%B4%A1%E7%8C%AE/Sbowman3452
Bablos939 and Sbowman3452 used similar language in their unblock requests, saying they are suffering from embarrassment or embarrassing. They speak in an identical manner using the same Korean broken English, same wrong terms in English, same grammar.
Also the part where he says he 'edited out other phrases in his report' is a lie, those were my words not his, everything you see above are my words: proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:RoySmith&diff=prev&oldid=1219967803 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88thD (talk • contribs) 07:16, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Sbowman is violating rules by deleting my posts, only you the talk page owner can do that to his own talk page
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sbowman3452&diff=prev&oldid=1219977559 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88thD (talk • contribs) 07:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Silly I've just signed up. I didn't know this wasn't allowed. If you give me a punishment, I'll take it.
- User:88thD, this is because you didn't use the "REPLY" feature. I was rather very offended that you were pretending to be me. From now on, use the REPLY feature. I sincerely apologize if this is wrong.
- Dear Roy, this user met me for the first time but is full of hate for me. Every claim this person makes is refuted in my user talk. Sir Roy smith, take a look at the report on the socks I made.
Regarding 88thD's claim, I hope you will come to my user talk page. And if this 88thD comes back, please guide him to my user talk page. And 88thD, if you see this, please come to my user talk. We are arguing in too many places.
- I reported to roy about the socks. I didn't really know I should rather explain that I'm not a sock. Anyway, stop arguing in roy's user talk Sbowman3452 (talk) 12:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Messy stuff
This has to do with the above section with Sbowman3452 accusing an editor of being a sock of Milktaco, which, given your subsequent block, you agreed with; and with 88thD accusing Sbowman of being a sock of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bablos939.
I muddied the waters by blocking the two users as socks of each other because I misconstrued the history of their edits on this page. Once I realized my error, I unblocked them. However, I've since looked more at the accusations against Sbowman, and it looks correct to me. I realize the socks in that case are stale, and I doubt the CU logs would reveal anything useful, but I'm wondering two things. First, do you agree that behaviorally Sbowman is likely a sock of Bablos? And, second, regardless, do you think it's reasonable for me to block Sbowman based on my own assessment? I'm a little reluctant to block a user so soon after unblocking them, which is partly why I'm here. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Everything about the Bablos and Milktaco cases is a mess. My block of Olafgurfson was supported by technical evidence, but I didn't did much beyond that. To be honest, once it became clear that this was either multiple socks battling each other or just plain trolling, I lost interest in digging any deeper; it all just makes my head hurt and it's all pretty pointless anyway.

- The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [5]
- Seven new wikis have been created:
- You can now watch message groups/projects on Translatewiki.net. Initially, this feature will notify you of added or deleted messages in these groups. [13]
- Dark mode is now available on all wikis, on mobile web for logged-in users who opt into the advanced mode. This is the early release of the feature. Technical editors are invited to check for accessibility issues on wikis. See more detailed guidelines.
Problems
- Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using
mapstyle="osm". This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [14]
