Einsteindonut

I don't know what's going on with this case, but it seems some of it got overwritten. Could someone see if they can figure it out? I've not been able to add it to the archive for this reason. -- how do you turn this on 16:56, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the history since Tiptoety's original archive, the rest was just Einsteindonut talking to himself. But he managed to botch the case page so bad that Tiptoety accidentally relisted it. I reverted to the original archive version so hopefully archiving can proceed (I notice it was never added to the Case page back then...) —Wknight94 (talk) 18:17, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

autobiography

Hi,

I'd like to check to see if two-three users are using the same IP, but it isn't necessary to block anyone if they are. User:Ethiopic wrote an autobiography at [Aberra Molla], which I consider an unsubstantiated vanity page and have put up for AfD. Users Blahblah99992 and Blahblah99993 (openly the same person) have responded on the AfD page with rants and personal attacks. I have been told (offline, private email) that such behaviour is typical of Molla when his claims of being "the Father of Ethiopic" etc. are challenged by people who actually are working in this field, or even when someone makes an independent contribution and doesn't "credit" Molla. I'd like to check if these nonce accounts are the same as User:Ethiopic (that is, Molla), but that is merely to inform the AfD discussion; if they are socks, they are not disturbing anything else, and I don't care about them being blocked.

Are informal IP checks allowed, or do I need to go through a formal sock check? I was hoping not to further antagonize anyone.

Thanks, kwami (talk) 08:09, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

New User:MascotGuy request

I've only requested a checkuser once before and I'm unsure how to proceed on this one. According to this user's long term abuse page, three previous checkuser requests have been granted. A recent discussion on the talk page led me to believe that this character may not be the "autistic tenager" we've been led to believe he is but a real and very persistent vandal operaing from a university IP. Would it be possible to request a checkuser of the most recent socks via this page? I'm at a loss as to how to file a fourth check against this guy. It's simply become chronic. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:33, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

It's actually not as daunting as it looks. Add something like the following to the very top of the MascotGuy RFCU:

=== [[Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/MascotGuy|MascotGuy 2nd]] ===
{{Checkuser requests to be listed}}
{{rfcu box|case=MascotGuy|filed=~~~~~}}
<!-- please do not edit above this line -->

* {{checkuser|MascotGuy}}
* {{checkuser|Dr. Doofenzmertz's Perry Destroyer}}
* {{checkuser|Happy vs. Sad}}

* '''[[WP:RFCU#code letters|Code letter]]:''' F

* '''Supporting evidence:''' Blah blah blah words words. ~~~~

Include whatever recent socks you want - the more recent the better I imagine. Say what you said here - looking for IPs and sleepers, etc. A clerk will be along soon to list it on the RFCU page (the {{Checkuser requests to be listed}} tag puts it into a category that is patrolled by clerks). Then profit. —Wknight94 (talk) 19:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

LOL! I like that link, W.  :) Gogo Dodo has mentioned that a checkuser has been run on the last batch and that there were two IPs based in Texas which have been blocked for three months. I'm keeping an eye on the new accounts log anyway. Thanks for the info and the chuckle. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
