Audi152, 18Weaver, and Sinofdreams

[change source]

This may be seem a bit late and strange, but I was looking at my userpage history and I found this. This translates into "Hello friend, I hate you, Sinofdreams and many more (Kalajan). By this, it's fair to assume that Audi152 is Sins. Now, 18Weaver reverts the post, and warns Audi152 5 times for the same post he reverted. 18Weaver's first post was on my userpage. I know this is late, and Sins will probably not abuse them anymore, but I just want to be sure. SimonKSK 21:13, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry to deceive you, but checkuser logs only go back a certain time (roughly, half a year); As these guys haven't edited in that time, I am unable to fulfill your request. --Eptalon (talk) 21:29, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Awww, shucks. Well, if he does start abusing again, then you'll still be able to stop, so it's all good. SimonKSK 21:44, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bigig

[change source]

Block globally for abusing mult. accts. I tagged him with the "suspected sockpuppet" due to his global block, but I'm not sure who he's a sockpuppet of. I would assume Bambi, though Purplebackpack89 20:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even though I could not name any user, there is what looks like a global range block on the address used.--Eptalon (talk) 21:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

76.166.187.218/Sdfghjkl

[change source]

Sdfghjkl was indef blocked for vandalism. 76.166.187.218 has edited many of the same pages as Sdfghjkl, and recently edited Sdfghjkl's talk page Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 14:32, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Smells like a duck. There is no reason for a check. -Barras (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't 76... be blocked for more than 31 hours, then? Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 15:29, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Juans

[change source]

I want you to compare Juan4’s talk page that was recently deleted with Juanfu’s talk page that I tagged for deletion this afternoon. I believe that they are almost exactly the same, no? That, combined with their similar user names, lead me to believe that they are linked. Requesting a IP check Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 20:51, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have any kinds of abuse here? - having multiple accounts is not punishable, if it isn't abused in some way...--Eptalon (talk) 20:54, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Creating bad/promotional/nonsense pages on their talk pages Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 20:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done, per spam creation. The users both edit from the same /16 range and use the same UA. Those, most likely the same user. I will leave it to others to block or not. -Barras (talk) 21:17, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked. -DJSasso (talk) 12:13, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quack. --SEPTActaMTA8235 14:18, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you ask him to stop? The Rambling Man (talk) 14:25, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Madrock1

[change source]

The same person made all of the Madrock accounts. Because vandalism has been especially bad here today, please checkuser for OTHER newly made accounts. —This lousy T-shirt (talk) 18:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked all three accounts, no others found. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

HighTones/Alo

[change source]

I suspect that Alo and Thao are socks (adding inappropriate images). HighTones did the same at Template:Height. Sleepers? --SEPTActaMTA8235 12:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is need of a check, all accounts are blocked. Jon@talk:~$ 12:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fishy, but. HighTones seems to have used a different strategy, so I'm not sure if he's related, though I'm pretty sure Alo and Thao are the same people. --SEPTActaMTA8235 13:40, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The users have been blocked by a checkuser with the comment "Abusing multiple accounts". Our checkusers surely know when/how to check in those cases and the comment in the block is clear. If they are already blocked by a cu with such a reason, then there is no need for a request here. Case closed. -Barras (talk) 13:45, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WAbaseballDE

[change source]

They both added internet slang/spam/useless stuff to Ninja, within minutes of warning both users. Also edited Tom Cruise in a similar way. --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 17:16, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - Caught another one. Users blocked. Thanks for the report. -Barras (talk) 17:54, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Self-admission. Check for sleepers. --SEPTActaMTA8235 (talk) 13:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - First account too old for checks and I don't see a relation between those accounts. -Barras (talk) 13:47, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture Perfect Prince

[change source]

LouisPhilippeCharles (LPC, I'm From England, etc.) is a globally blocked user. Picture Perfect Prince just created an article substantially similar to one on the English Wikipedia with the same topic, which had been mainly edited by LouisPhilippeCharles. Kansan (talk) 18:43, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kind of curious as to this user. Did any abuse any occur on this wiki? I see a lot of good content work... Taking into the account the content work, if we could keep any socks blocked would it benefit us to remove the global block locally to allow him to continue the content work? I don't know the full story though.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 20:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know global blocks could be removed on a per-wiki basis... Griffinofwales (talk) 22:40, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah we can disable global blocks locally.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 23:15, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Only seems to work with IPs... never mind me then.

  • Without any proof of abuse (double vote in RfXs, RfDs etc), there is no need for a check. I just want to remember, that it is allowed to have more than one accounts as long as they aren't abused. Won't declineit now (haven't really looked into it yet), but it doesn't look like there is need for a check. -Barras (talk) 09:21, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I would note that two accounts are only allowed if they don`t edit the same pages....these two have edited the same pages. -DJSasso (talk) 15:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said, I haven't looked in deep into this yet. I currently don't have the time to really take care of it. But there are also some other people with checkuser access you could take a look. I just commented here after reading here. If there is really no other cu around to take a look at this, I do it coming weekend. Sorry, just busy right now. -Barras (talk) 22:23, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
User is blocked on English Wikipedia. wiooiw (talk) 04:55, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't make much of a difference... We always have some blocked users from enwiki around here. As long as there is no abuse here, I don't care much and wouldn't run a cu. -Barras (talk) 09:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just marking as  Done - accounts have already been blocked. Forgot this request. -Barras (talk) 13:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strange group of editing from India

[change source]

Three of four have edited extensively over the past few days focusing on the Apostolic Fellowship Tabernacle, its pastor Sam P. Chelladurai and search engines. Content generation has verged on spam/advertising regarding the church, church pastor and the search engine Bluve/Zeekinfo. (Two names for the same search engine.) Editor(s) has probably violated WP:COPYVIO. I know that there were prior deleted versions of Sam Chelladurai before the current one, but I do not have access to them. Could someone do a checkuser to see if these are the same person? Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 07:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The named users are not the same user. They could be meatpuppets however so it might be worth keeping an eye on their edits for spam. -DJSasso (talk) 12:25, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 12:52, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Riffic

[change source]

Though there is a user named Riffic on EN, the Riffic here has made one edit, and it's to weigh in on the highly questionable GNAA topic. I'd feel better if we made sure he wasn't a sock of Lugurr, LiteralKa, or other people involved in the GNAA debacle Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 23:26, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To me, it seems there is not enough evidence to support a check based on the privacy policy and the meta checkuser policy... edits are not similar across the many Wiki we have. Also, the account is unified. I recommend against a check. Thank you, Jon@talk:~$ 03:02, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Since the account is unified, and the EN account is long-standing, it is unlikely that it is a GNAA sock. Therefore, I withdraw the request Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 03:23, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
this is a fishing expedition and it is unlikely to find any evidence of any wrongdoing. (go ahead, google me plz) Riffic (talk) 04:55, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
DIsclosure: I internet from multiple locations including att wireless, dreamworks animation and time warner/road runner in los angeles california. there are probably other accounts logging in from my ip space but I only edit from this account.
 Not done A check will not be done. I see you are a good editor on English Wikipedia on SUL. --Bsadowski1 05:07, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Funny, since I don't see a relation between them. I just saw the block. --Bsadowski1 03:25, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User Nawlinji

[change source]

I Want to be confirmed user and dont want to get blocked

Nawlinji 11:03, 22 Febuary 2012
That's not a reason to run a check. -Barras talk 19:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I changed my mind, smelled too bad actually. Confirmed sock. -Barras talk 19:08, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Daehtunhguod

[change source]

Appears to be stalking an editor here, and was blocked on EN for socking as well. There may be sleeper socks around, not to mention that the vandalism around here seemed to be worse than usual. Chenzw  Talk  12:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nah not a sockmaster here. -DJSasso (talk) 12:54, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

89.178.124.206 and Janitor Joe

[change source]

Both accuse each other of socking. Were engaged in an edit war at Tamara Toumanova. Chenzw  Talk  13:22, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done - We don't link between accounts and IPs. It looks like the appreciate actions have been taken. I doubt that someone will revert themselves and then accusing themselves of socking. -Barras (talk) 15:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ali999, Ali020, Ali908

[change source]

This is mainly a Quack, but the underlying effect and what seems to be a potential sock farm may need looking into. Similar names, similar dates created, creating fake articles of a similar nature around the same topic (One Time India's series and other productions). The three listed certainly are quacking loudly here, but there seems to be a whole lot more that haven't quacked yet. --Creol(talk) 08:03, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've done a check here this morning already, the results can be viewed on my local block log, and also here and here. It was a quite big sock farm. -Barras talk 10:00, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Since there is that request here, there were some new socks this afternoon, now blocked. I issued another block that hopefully helps to stop this. -Barras talk 15:34, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NolaPola

[change source]

I thought the main account might have been hijacked when it started running amok today @ about 21:20 UTC. But it appears it's also been indef-blocked on enwiki. It might not even really be worth the check, since they're both vandal accounts. The user appears to have jumped accounts after a final warning for disruption. Osiris (talk) 21:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Rumppushin

[change source]

Edits, especially to Joseph Stalin are very, very similar to edits from User:TheUltimateWarrior, whom I blocked the other day for vandalism (along with other issues, including file uploads after being asked to stop). Duck-wise, they almost have to be the same person. Kansan (talk) 20:38, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed: TheUltimateWarrior = Rumppushin. I will leave the action/decision to you here. -Barras talk 22:28, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I indeffed the second account and reset the existing block for the first one - some, if not most, of his edits are useful, so I'd like to give him another chance. Kansan (talk) 00:25, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Will98789

[change source]

Style of editing is similar to 84.242.84.186. Recreated ogopogo page 20 minutes after previous deletion. Please investigate and confirm if both users are the same, so appropriate action can be taken in the event of sockpuppet abuse.-- Tdxiang 07:30, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tanglei

[change source]

This spambot is definitely related to Tanglei5738 at en.wikipedia and perhaps also to Tanglei8017 at en.wikibooks. I'd like to know if the en.wikibooks account is also a spambot. Please investigate this account and share the information with the CU's at en.wikipedia and en.wikibooks, if possible. I'll request the same on those wikis (see here for the CU request at en.wikipedia and here for the request at en.wikibooks). Thanks in advance, Mathonius (talk) 18:29, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the usual. I did the necessary stuff. -Barras talk 18:49, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dilek2

[change source]

Yesterday, I removed a large number of edits from newcomer Magnolia that added complex material copied directly from the English Wikipedia -- more specifically, from recent revisions that had been reverted. I was sure it was the same person as Dilek2, because all of the content Magnolia was adding was material that Dilek2 had been edit-warring over on articles on the English Wikipedia. Now both users have logged in here. I questioned Magnolia about it, but they have denied the connection. Dilek2 has existing blocks on enwiki, trwiki and dewiki (where he is blocked indefinitely as "the foreskin troll"). Osiris (talk) 15:56, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a checkuser; the problem is that the evidence I got is useful for supporting either story; yes, look at what happened in Circumcision where one reverted/added the text of the other. I still think it is too early to draw conclusions; both are new here, and rather than WP:BITE, we shouild be welcoming and helpfuil. If they really are the same user, we will get more than enough evidence to block them later on, if their edits become problematic. As to the subject of the articles: We always claim WP is not censored...--Eptalon (talk) 16:48, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank's for noticing.I have removed the comment made by the IP in the deletion discussion. I have also run a checkuser on the user. Please note however that I am not able to comment on the outcome, as it would let people directly associate a username with an IP.--Eptalon (talk) 19:27, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Duck quacking

[change source]

This user is quite young and several editors on English Wikipedia (myself included) tried to help him understand the rules. He showed promise and joined an adoption program before completely flouting his adoption agreement and I recently endorsed his one year block. He has also been blocked on Wikisource and Wikinews and has a lengthy list of warnings on Commons. On English Wikipedia, he repeatedly made edits from the IP address 74.131.177.233 (Sock Puppet Investigation). Now that IP address is making vandalizing edits to Simple Wikipedia and Starship9000 is providing warnings, including "If you do it again, i will report you." This seems like a clear cut case of Starship9000 acting as a full fledged sock puppet. Andrewman327 (talk) 06:03, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Christian2941 and friends

[change source]

Per impressive page history and LTA case, please see if a rangeblock is feasible so as to stop future socking. Chenzw  Talk  09:56, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ran a checkuser, and yes they use the same IPs and user agents. I also blocked another account of them that I found; thanks for noticing. :) --Eptalon (talk) 12:09, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request

[change source]

First is the original editor of Nicola Pfund, RfD at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2013/Nicola Pfund. Hex, IP, and Tri27 have all voted/commented at the RfD. All four accounts have only been used for this one article, either creating it or voting at the RfD. No other activity. Is this suspicious enough to look into? Rus793 (talk) 19:51, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yasir Mushtaq

[change source]

This user has been vadalizing a user space draft (User:Mar4d/2014) of another user while logged out. 182.186.64.102 first tagged it with a speedy deletion tag (that exists on English Wikipedia) and latter redirected it to a mainspace article that didn't exist. After doing these disruptive edits the IP asked for this page to be deleted at User:RHaworth 's talk (at English Wikipedia). RHaworth is the admin who has blocked most of this user's socks and also deleted the same pages as User:Pakistan Celebrations/2013 that he first tried to add to mainspace and then to userspace with each of his sock at English Wikipedia. This user uses two different IP ranges that geolocate to same geographic location. More recently this user while logged out tagged User:Mar4d 's same draft with sockpuppet tag. He has case page at English Wikipedia also. -- Smsarmad (talk) 16:05, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • The users are fairly new (created 15 decenember and 20th december), and while such editing is problematic, I think this does not yet warrant a block. As to the IP's, the checkuser policy does not allow me to disclose information that allows to associate an IP with an username, execpt in special cases. I think we should talk to the users, before taking further action; even if it turns out they are the same, there is little we can do at the moment. Let?s try not to BITE newcomers. --Eptalon (talk) 21:10, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
