Man with a tan

Accounts that have recently vandalised:

Accounts that have recently made edits to the sandbox to become autoconfirmed

Probably the rest of that group of accounts

Other disruptive accounts created the same day, that may be related

  • Supporting evidence:

Man with a tan (talk · contribs) was blocked indefinitely in August for trolling and WP:BLP violations.[1] In the last few days there has been disruption from a number of accounts that appear to be connected to the same user.

Traumatised (talk · contribs) was blocked first for vandalism, then as a sock of Man with a tan (talk · contribs), with edits including a similar page move: [2][3]. The image File:Josh on the range.JPG was vandalised by Traumatised (talk · contribs) and Giz ur money (talk · contribs).

Vandalism by Hooded Top (talk · contribs): [4][5] - similar to Special:Contributions/Truth about the terror in Vietnam and Special:Contributions/Obese Futures Trader

Serial Lulzer (talk · contribs) was claiming to be an administrator and declined an unblock request by Traumatised (talk · contribs).[6]

Rhys Pwnes (talk · contribs) was blocked for page move vandalism: [7][8][9]

World's largest pig (talk · contribs), probably another sock of the same user, was blocked in October.[10]

Stomach Bug (talk · contribs), Browntrouser (talk · contribs) and A deadly serious user (talk · contribs) made edits to the sandbox similar to the other accounts, with the intention of becoming autoconfirmed, but have made no other edits and have not been blocked. Some of the edits:[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

The accounts, with the exception of Man with a tan (talk · contribs), were created within less than two hours on 20 November 2007, and with the exception of the last three were created within 20 minutes.

A few of the usernames are in pairs, I have added other accounts created around the same time based on similarities between users. The accounts from Alcohol related death (talk · contribs) to Good as new (talk · contribs), and B.Allen in political wiki-exile (talk · contribs) are probably stale, as they have no visible edits. Man with a tan (talk · contribs), Boris Allen (talk · contribs) and a sock of Tony X Liu (talk · contribs) have made similar edits on Twat, and the decline of an unblock request is similar to Swirl Face (talk · contribs)[18], who was tagged as a sock of Pope Benjamin Lister (talk · contribs) as a result of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Pope Barry George. A few accounts there also appear to be similar to Hamish Ross (talk · contribs). The accounts in the Pope Barry George case, and Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Master Ansar Mahmood, were created the day before those that have vandalised in the last few days).

Other checkuser cases that may be related:

Also, an IP (194.176.105.40) has recently used the {{unblock}} template with a reference to Pope Benjamin Lister (talk · contribs)[19][20][21][22][23][24]. —Snigbrook 19:48, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Man with a tan (talk · contribs) is  Stale. The following are  Confirmed as being operated by one person:
  1. Traumatised (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  2. Hooded Top (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  3. Serial Lulzer (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  4. Rhys Pwnes (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  5. A deadly serious user (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  6. Browntrouser (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  7. Stomach Bug (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

The following are  Likely:

  1. Giz ur money (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  2. Wiki-guerrilla (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  3. Sockpuppet II (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  4. Nothing left to dream about (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

The rest are  Stale. Most of the IPs used for sockpuppetry are already softblocked. They are high traffic IPs, so a hardblock is out of the question. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 21:28, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: All named accounts blocked, I am not going to tag though. Tiptoety talk 22:02, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
