User talk

Hi. Why this edit? Why pinging a blocked user? By default a user get notification when someone edit the talk page without the need to ping the user. Do you have any connection to Ottawahitech? -- Tegel _(Talk) 20:47, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tegel: not really. But he did not see Vermont's notice and it was 10 days. Also he is not locked. If it is a problem I will stop. Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 21:43, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

The user has not been editing on this wiki for 10 days, but editing other wikis earlier today. So if the user has not changed anything in the settings they will still see the notification on other wikis that someone has left a new message here. It's not a problem, but it will not add anything either. -- Tegel _(Talk) 21:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
Ok, I won't do it again. Ottawahitech accepted his fate. Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 21:57, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Resolved.

@Tegel: I removed the edit. Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 23:46, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Potential other account?

Good, but once placed it's not possible to undo the ping in the receiving end. Have you had an account before this account? -- Tegel _(Talk) 12:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

My question too. Your behaviour seems to be like someone I knew. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:29, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Who? Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 12:37, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

That is the question. Have you had an account before this account? -- Tegel _(Talk) 12:38, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Still no reply regarding previous accounts? -- Tegel _(Talk) 13:31, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

I am talking to Camouflaged Mirage. Who does he think I sound like? Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 12:50, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Also I resolved the section, so begin another section. Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 12:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Your editing is way too advanced than someone totally new, and your edit to ottawatech userpage, Tks4Fish userpage doesn't seems what a newbie will do. Knowing resolved seems not a newbie act either. If you have edited with other accounts, please own up. Thanks. Your messages on my talkpage doesn't sound convincing either. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:54, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Oh. Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 12:55, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

But also remember that I was an IP editor and I was globally blocked and then I created an account. You let that happen. Remember? Anyway, I am taking a short break from editing Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 12:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Ah, you are User_talk:2600:387:5:80D:0:0:0:9E and etc. Your behaviour with an account doesn't differ from your behaviour from the IP. As you say you will contribute productively on wikidata, I allowed the anon block to allow account creation. However, you don't match your behavior to your words.Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:59, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage: I said I would contribute to Wikidata, but the problem was the global block was not anon only, so I have to wait till May 20. Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 13:08, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

So, please stop doing nonsense here which lead to the IP block in the 1st place. Or else you might be blocked here too. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:11, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage: what nonsense? Steven1825andrew2044 (talk) 13:13, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage: The steward who globally blocked my IP made it anon only so I can edit Wikidata now! Steven1825 (talk) 21:16, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Resolved.

Previous accounts

Hi. Why do you mark the section "resolved" without answering my question regarding previous accounts? -- Tegel _(Talk) 20:05, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tegel: what questions? I said I was that user who Camouflaged Mirage blocked but allowed account creation. This is the account that came out of that. Steven1825 (talk) 20:06, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

That was a question regarding a blocked IP-address. My question was regarding previous accounts? -- Tegel _(Talk) 20:08, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tegel: I mean, that was the closest to an account it was. As User: Camouflaged Mirage stated, he was that IP editor. Steven1825 (talk) 20:09, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Mail

Hi. Thank you for your mail. I prefer to have discussions on-wiki so that other users can participate as well. -- Tegel _(Talk) 20:22, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tegel: ok. I give full consent to it being shared to Camouflaged Mirage and Tks4Fish. Please respond. Steven1825 (talk) 20:29, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

I give you a final chance, please disclose any other accounts you had used before, hope you will take this seriously. I don't believe you are just IP editing. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:14, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage:I am, but I used several ranges. Before school let out due to this whole coronavirus thing, I was 170.24.150.0/17(that range)and I use several IPv6 address ranges. Steven1825 (talk) 12:11, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

I know that you have used other accounts before. Why not just list them here and we can take it from there? -- Tegel _(Talk) 12:16, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tegel: how? Someone in my family does, not me. Steven1825 (talk) 12:33, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Do you let someone else use your e-mail? -- Tegel _(Talk) 12:34, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tegel: it was a different eMail. Steven1825 (talk) 12:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

What different e-mail? Why don't you answer the question: Do you let someone else use your e-mail? -- Tegel _(Talk) 12:45, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

@Tegel: that is a different eMail. And no it was not mine, but I do sometimes have access to it. Steven1825 (talk) 12:48, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

So you practice bad security when it comes to computers and accounts? How can we then know that it's the same user that writes here every time? We might just block the account as compromised. But for now locked as sock of another locked user. -- Tegel _(Talk) 12:53, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
