Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:26, 12 March 2006

This page has a backlog that requires attention of one or more users with CheckUser permissions.
(please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared up)

File a Checkuser Request

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. Cases are created on subpages of Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case. If you require help or advice, ask at Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for checkuser. If a case subpage already exists, edit the existing page instead, either adding to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived). When editing an existing case, be sure to list it here or add Category:Checkuser requests to be listed to the subpage. If creating a new case subpage, add the name of the main account (or "puppetmaster", not the sockpuppet!) in the box below. Leave out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add the name to the end only (that is, append the name to the existing text). Then press "Request a checkuser" and you will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request. Example: if you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text: Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe <inputbox> type=create editintro=Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Inputbox/Header preload=Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Inputbox/Sample default=Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/ buttonlabel=Request a checkuser bgcolor=#F8FCFF width=50 </inputbox>

User:Humanun Genus and User:Lightbringer

User:Humanun Genus is a suspected sock of User:Lightbringer MSJapan 04:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

OMG Lets rape Shanel (talk · contribs) and NC VANDAL LOVES SHANEL!!! (talk · contribs)

The user is making threats to an admin, and I have strong reasons to believe that he's using irc lurking on the channels Shanel is on (because the usernames correlate to waht it's being discussed on the #wikipedia-en-vandalism channel at the moment) and I need more information in order to consider possible courses of action. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 22:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Looks like the same vandal as the previous huge dump of usernames from Fred Bauder. I'll compile a list of suspect usernames. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 00:27, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

User:Lir socks on Talk:Misplaced Pages

Can someone find out what IP-adresses/range this desperate guy is using for all his socks posting on Talk:Misplaced Pages, and then do the right thing with them. Thanks. Shanes 02:34, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• I second this. In addition, a checkuser on some of the users recently blocked for being Lir whose sole contributions consisted of adding Lir's page to the Misplaced Pages article would be in order. I have reason to believe that they are not Lir, and may be another user attempting to get Lir's site added to the spam blacklist. These include User:ITV, User:T1000, User:Tricooon, and possibly some others. --Blu Aardvark | 21:49, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

CerealBoy (talk · contribs)

Judging by this edit, CerealBoy (talk · contribs) is vandalising through an open proxy. Presumably someone with Checkuser should query for the IP address and permanently block it. Jkelly 22:10, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

208.54.15.129 (talk · contribs), MikaM (talk · contribs), 69.107.21.3 (talk · contribs), Freethinker99 (talk · contribs), and Kecik (talk · contribs)

I suspect that these may be sockpuppets of Giovanni33 (talk · contribs)/BelindaGong (talk · contribs), who were checked before and found to be the same. I believe Giovanni33 is using these accounts to violate the 3rr on Christianity, and to evade his block for 3rr violations. Related evidence that Freethinker99 is Giovanni33 is this change on Giovanni33's usertalk page: Tom Harrison 15:10, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The same user group is showed up a block on Adolph Hitler and started to aggressively pursue a particular POV. All of these accounts are about 1 month old (roughly equivalent to User:Giovanni33) and have less than 100 edits. Given the amount of trolling, it might be best to protect both Adolph Hitler and Christianity to give some time to cool off. Jbetak 20:57, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

User:Giovanni33 has emailed me several times, claiming each time that he is the husband of User:BelindaGong and even stated that he would fax copy of ID's to me as proof. Regardless, these other "editors" are another matter...Giovanni33, BelindaGong and Freethinker99 are all currently under a 48 hour block and this will expire in about 24 hours.--MONGO 05:17, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

MikaM acknowledged here that the IP address 69.107.7.138 was his/hers. 69.106.243.31 is probably the same person, as it's a very similar address and the edit is one which MikaM wanted, according to discussion on the talk page. MikaM, who is fully aware of 3RR, reverted twice recently (to Giovanni33's preferred version), and then 69.107.21.3 reverted three more times. I asked MikaM on the Christianity talk page to state whether or not he/she was behind those last three reverts, but he/she refused to answer, saying that an earlier sockcheck had shown that he/she was not a sockpuppet. That check, of course, was to see if MikaM was editing from the same IP as another registered user: it did not prove that future edits would always be made logged on.

• 23:36 12 February MikaM reverts
• 23:38 12 February MikaM reverts
• 00:17 13 February 69.107.21.3 reverts
• 00:27 13 February 69.107.21.3 reverts
• 01:03 13 February 69.107.21.3 reverts with "Beware 3RR" in edit summary

This shows a strong connection between the three IP addresses.

Additionally, Kecik reverted three times (to Giovanni33's preferred version), and then there was a revert from an IP address. I asked Kecik both on the Christianity talk page, and on his/her own talk page, to state whether or not that edit came from him/her, but so far, there has been no response.

• 20:09 14 February, Kecik reverts
• 20:17 14 February, Kecik reverts
• 20:20 14 February, Kecik reverts
• 22:34 14 February, 208.54.15.129 reverts

Giovanni33 has been shown by a sockcheck to be BelindaGong. Having been exposed, he now claims that she is his wife. That may, or may not, be true. If it is true, they set up an elaborate pretence about not knowing each other, even to the messages they sent to each other on their talk pages. Her very first edit was to revert to Giovanni's version. She and he, even when we did not know their connection, reverted well above three times per day, despite numerous warnings. We were reluctant to report newcomers. After they were finally blocked, they were more careful, but still did six a day between them. They also took two votes on talk pages. The contributions of BelindaGong, MikaM, and Kecik show that their purpose on Misplaced Pages is to agree with Giovanni and to revert to his version. Freethinker99 pretended to be a genuine newcomer while GiovanniBelinda was blocked, reverted to his/their version, and then answered a question which had been addressed to Giovanni on Giovanni's talk page, while logged on as Freethinker99. He then logged on as Giovanni33, and changed the signature. He/they then tried to claim that they knew each other and that Giovanni just happened to be at Freethinker's house, and Freethinker had allowed him to use the computer, but had forgotten to log off as Freethinker.

All in all, there is a very disturbing pattern of new users with no prior history at Misplaced Pages arriving and coming to all the pages he edits, agreeing with him on the talk page, reverting to his version, claiming consensus where none exists, and following him to other articles and voting for whatever he votes for. AnnH 13:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

All in all a very disturbing pattern by older users such as yourself, who are attacking any new user who happens to agree with Giovanni. I'd appreciate if you would stop making the accusations against me and the other new users. I consider it a personal attack and in violation of Wiki culture. You seem to follow me around and instigate this by snide remarks, and insinuations. It's harmful and distracts everyone attention away from the editing work we come here for. Instead it only creates a frezy of personal accusations, and attacks. Many users are convinced that this is primarily motivated by POV disputes (not just new users who feel this way), steming from the Christianity article. We have already lost good new and old users as a result, who left protest over the witch-hunts against anyone who agrees with User:Giovanni33 POV. Its time for this to stop. Btw, your descriptions of the events regarding Giovanni, Belinda, and Freethinker are biased and not completely accurate. MikaM 02:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Dussst (talk · contribs)

I have reason to believe that Dussst may be the indefinitely blocked user Bourbons3 (talk · contribs). Bourbon3 was blocked for copyright violations on 15 January 2006, and his response was "**You've just lost a valuable editor to the Userbox project, JACKASS - «ßØÛ®ßÖѧ3» ". Dusst first edited on 16 January 2006, and his second edit was to add himself to the Userbox project. Also note the format of his current signature: • | Đܧ§§Ť | • . I don't want him to think I'm targeting him because I oppose his opinions on userboxes, but I came across this today. Maybe there's some sort of logical explanation for the coincidences? -- nae'blis _(talk) 16:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Thetruthisknown (talk · contribs)

Anotherblogger (talk · contribs) was banned earlier today for threatening to DDOS attack wikipedia if he wasn't allowed to make a particular edit to Perverted-Justice.com. Throughout the day, he had been making this edit repeatedly, despite being reverted by a number of users, since consensus was against this edit. Shortly after he was banned, Thetruthisknown (talk · contribs) continued to make the edits, leading me to suspect that Thetruthisknown (talk · contribs) is a sockpuppet of a banned user, and should also be banned.

220.245.180.133 (talk · contribs), et al

User:220.245.180.133, User:220.245.180.134, User:220.245.180.130, User:203.213.77.138, User:58.162.252.236, User:58.162.255.242, User:58.162.251.204, User:58.162.252.58, User:58.162.245.148, User:Dennis Fuller, User:Phloxophilos have conducted a low intensity but disruptive edit war and POV campaign at Jonathan Sarfati and Answers in Genesis and are suspected of being socks of Sarfati or Agapetos_angel (talk · contribs) or of being staff of Creation Ministries International, , Sarfati's current employer and formerly known as Answers in Genesis. FeloniousMonk 00:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

220.245.180.133 is a major regional South East Queensland proxy for an Australian ISP (tpg.com.au). TPG are high on the second tier of ISPS, and have many thousands of customers in the region served by this proxy (and the similarly numbered twins).

Locke Cole (talk · contribs)

In regards to the on-going edit war on PhpBB, it seems that Locke Cole is tag-team reverting to remove some external links along with some IP users. Locke Cole's user page says he's from Washington, and the ISP for a couple of the anon IPs is also. Please check to see if there is a connection between Locke Cole and any of :

Master and Commander (talk · contribs), Wiki4Life (talk · contribs), 128.12.20.66 (talk · contribs)

Master and Commander is accused of being a sockpuppet of Wiki4Life, and of being one of the persistent ip vandals at Matthew Vassar. The ip above has been used by Master and Commander to vote on an afd, and the M&C logged in and fixed the signature to apply to himself (which doesn't seem sockpuppet-ish behavior to me). I'd just like to be able to confirm or deny. The active accusation is that M&C and W4L have both voted on a couple AFDs as socks of each other. Thanks! --Syrthiss 15:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Top Drawer (talk · contribs), Repartee (talk · contribs), Bottom Drawer (talk · contribs)

I don't think checkuser is needed, as it's fairly obvious that Top Drawer is a sockpuppet of Repartee by looking at their contributions. Nothing but vandalism and nonsense. -Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 17:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

A CheckUser should still be done to weed out other sock puppets. --Nlu (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. This user has been quite persistent and there certainly might be other sockpuppets. -Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 22:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I've compiled a list of potential sock puppets for this user. See Repartee (talk · contribs) for details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yankees76 (talk • contribs)

User:Bottom Drawer, another suspected sockpuppet of Repartee, has shown up today with the same vandalism behavior. -Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 19:40, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

DueDiehcal (talk · contribs) and others

These users are constantly involved in Edit Wars, and frequently support each other. Please check if any of them are sockpuppets of each other. If they are, they may have used the sockpuppet(s) to avoid 3RR yesterday. DueDiehcal (talk · contribs) is particularly suspect, because after coming into existence, DueDiehcal immediately started to engage in Edit Wars and even defaced an opposing user's page.--Endroit 02:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Three civil rights editors

• Mitchumch (talk · contribs)
• Mr ethanboy (talk · contribs)
• Mrpresident2006 (talk · contribs)

These three users popped up in the last few months - two added extensive timelime data to civil rights movement pages (of which at least one line, concerning Bobby Bland, was completely bogus) and the third completely rewrote Montgomery Improvement Association. The reason these three are suspicious is that Benjamin Gatti (talk · contribs) has just been put on probation by ArbCom (about 40% my doing), violated that and is blocked for a week, and knows I largely compiled Timeline of the American Civil Rights Movement. After posting the timeline info (not to the Timeline article) user Mitchumch e-mailed me -- I responded on his Talk page, as I only send my e-mail address to admins. My question is, are the three sock-puppets of user benjamin Gatti, and if so did editing with userid Mitchumch constitute evading a properly-placed block? Simesa 06:31, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Zero0000 (talk · contribs) editwar on Amin al-Husayni

• Zero0000 (talk · contribs) has maxed out on his 3 reverts per day , , . Within minutes an Anon editor from Norway made his first Misplaced Pages edit. He knows how to revert and use the same edit summary style used by Zero0000 (talk · contribs). This user usually edit from Australia but have been editing from places in Europe (such as Belgium) recently.

• cybbe (talk · contribs) edits from Norway and is known to help Zero with the exact revert war on this subject (see this diff:

Update: It is 100% a sockpupet of cybbe (talk · contribs) Zeq 14:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Irpen (talk · contribs)

In a sort of "bet" between User:Irpen and User:Alexander007, I was sent out by Irpen self () to make a request to demonstrate Alexander that he uses no sockuppets. Could someone be gentle with these two users? Neigel von Teighen 23:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppet

An edit war broke out recently on the Wayne Gretzky article. One anon. IP 66.254.232.219 continuously rv'ing long standing wording and avoiding warnings from RasputinAXP and even a 24 hr block from GUY. During his attack he was "backed-up" in his arguements by Onward ND. 66.254.232.219 returned from his block and began his revert war again(breaking 3RR in the process) Again, his statements were backed up by Onward ND And again the IP user was blocked by GUY. It has been observed that during 66.254.232.219's blocked periods... Onward ND(normally a very frequent contributor) was dormant as well.

Could a Check User be done on:

• 66.254.232.219
• Onward ND

It is quite likely that are the same person. Thank You Mr Pyles 23:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

BigBear

BigBear (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) posted an uncivil warning on User Talk:Plover with a comment stating that it is from User:Jason Gastrich. If this is a sock it is significant in the light of the ongoing Arbcom case, if it isn't then somebody is deliberately impersonating Gastrich. It is possible that this account may, if it is not Gastrich, be related to the many Gastrichnnn impersonators above - if so it probably establishes them an attempt to smear rather than meatpuppets. Gastrich certainly has enough enemies, although I think those who are active on Misplaced Pages (e.g. User:WarriorScribe) are not stupid enough to try this. Guy 16:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

This is an important RFCU because Gastrich is now claiming that he hasn't edited Misplaced Pages in weeks and all of these latest socks are really netstalkers impersonating him and trying to get him in trouble. And I'm actually somewhat open to this idea. --Cyde Weys 16:20, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

It's not impossible that some of them might be "Uncle Davey" - Usenetpostsdotcom (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - since he has exhibited behaviour external to Misplaced Pages which indicates that he may be sufficiently naive to attempt this. It's also not impossible that they are in fact Gastrich, since he is undoubtedly technically competent, but Fred's reply to my query re "not found" above suggests they are not on a common ISP so that could be way out.

Apologies, I know this is a lot of work, but I think it's important to be fair; there is no doubt that astrich has used socks, but that is different in degree from running a massive sock farm. Guy 16:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Vrray9000@yahoo (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Randallrobinstine (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) both have very similar vandalism patterns. Randallrobinstine was indefinitely blocked on December 29, 2005. Both users have a history of changing images on various webpages. For instance both users have edited Image:That '70s Show logo.png to say "That K-Jo '70s Show" or something to this effect. Both users have also vandalized identical pages (notably That '70s Show and Adult Swim) and all vandalism relating to television and video games in some form.

This is kind of moot now as Vrray9000@yahoo has been blocked. If there is time however, I'd still like to know as I am curious if my suspicions are true. --11:18, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

It's too long ago to associate with User:Randallrobinstine. However, the same IP continues to vandalise without being logged in : 69.76.206.218 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

SuperDeng (talk · contribs) and Woohookitty (talk · contribs) and DMorpheus (talk · contribs) and Ksenon (talk · contribs) and Constanz (talk · contribs) and Victory Day (talk · contribs)

I need someone to check the ips of all these people because Constanz (talk · contribs) and DMorpheus (talk · contribs) and Ksenon (talk · contribs) andConstanz (talk · contribs) have accussed me of creating Victory Day (talk · contribs) as a sock pupet which I havent. I believe that either Victory Day (talk · contribs) acctually is a person who agrees with me or that Victory Day (talk · contribs) was created by one of these Constanz (talk · contribs) and DMorpheus (talk · contribs) and Ksenon (talk · contribs) and Woohookitty (talk · contribs) people to disscredit me. So if someone would please check the ips of all of us and tell us what country of origin all the ips are from It would really help.

(Deng 19:05, 23 February 2006 (UTC))

The problem here is that Deng has no EVIDENCE that any of us created this account. We have evidence but not enough to request a checkuser here, which is why we haven't. But he has zilch. None. And I'm not even involved in the debate at Eastern Front (World War II) nor have I said that he used socks. In fact, I said I don't think he did. I said there was evidence he might have, but again it's so little that I didn't bring a request. He's basically looking for what amounts to a block CheckUser with no evidence. I told him that this was the place to request a CheckUser check but not in this manner. --Woohookitty 19:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I would like to see this evidence but more importantly I would like someone to show the ip of Victory Day and me to prove that we are not the same person and most likely not even from the same country. After that has been done I would like someone to check the others ip who would gain from diss crediting me and see if they are from the same country ass Victory Day and if so from the same city as well.

User:Medalstats is User:Them medals is User:Wintermetal

See this page for details and evidence. --Jared / 22:17, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Just to summarize, it involves POV pushing and vote stacking by:

• User:Medalstats - contributions
• User:Them medals - contributions
• User:Wintermetal - contributions

Thank you,--Kalsermar 14:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems obvious to me they are sockpuppets of each other. They all were created for making medal count edits and pushing the same POV. The evidence listed is pretty convincing if you ask me. It should also be mentioned that the very first edit by Them medals and the very first edit by Wintermetal were both supportive comments in a topic created by Medalstats. King nothing 2 19:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

A quick look at their contributions will reveal that after Wintermetal was blocked suddenly Medalstats resumed editing after not having made one single edit in 11 days.--Kalsermar 22:18, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Anderson12 (talk · contribs) and WMMrgn (talk · contribs)

Very likely socks of Basil Rathbone (talk · contribs), who is in turn a sock of Lightbringer (talk · contribs). Lightbringer's information is no longer available because of time of last edit, but Basil's information is similar. Lightbringer has been banned from editing any Freemasonry related articles by ArbCom ruling, and the edit patterns of WMMrgn and Anderson12 are the same as Lightbringer/Basil's. I would love to put this on AIV, and get it sorted out right away, but there's no precedent to do so. MSJapan 21:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Would reinforce the need for this, the contributions from Anderson12 are almost identical to BR and frankly now getting in the way of any sensible edit to the main article.ALR 14:04, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Second that - in addition to ranting in the talkpages and attacking other editors, User:Anderson12 have deleted the sockpuppet warning on his userpage and copied the userpage of User:Giovanni33. He also insists in reinserting a link to a scratchpad created (partly at least) by User:Basil Rathbone (known sock of Lightbringer) and removing comments from other editors pointing to the likelyhood of him being a sock - see here bottom of his edit), here, here and here. A check-user will let people calm down, no matter if the result show him to be a likely sock or not.

He's just pretty much confirmed that he is Lightbringer/ Basil Rathbone et al with the latest entry to the talk page. Can we have him blocked iaw Arbcom ruling. Thanks.ALR 13:44, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

New Rock Star (talk · contribs) vs. Gothic Hero (talk · contribs)

Suspected sock puppetery by New Rock Star. Gothic Hero's account was made today, but has only been used to continue edit wars on articles that New Rock Star has been edit warring on, and would otherwise violate 3RR by continuing on his own user name. The users also have the same style of writing, and Gothic Hero has almost gone about signing is messages as New Rock Star.

User is also believed to be using the Gothic Hero account to provoke users into violating 3RR, henceforth resulting in them being banned and their POV pushed onto articles in violation of Misplaced Pages's three core policys (WP:CITE, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV).

As such a check user is asked for to confirm wether this suspicion by myself and the 3RR board is true, or wether it is not. Ley Shade 14:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

(Edit) Since this was authored it has come to light that New Rock Star is using other sock puppets to violate 3RR rules, and to anomynously drw support on AFD pages and Straw Pools. A list of supposed users that where all created and greated one after the other in succesion with the Gothic Hero account are:

• Red_Hot_Sheena Contribs
• Shah_rokh Contribs
• Ashaikh13 Contribs
• Arnemjensen Contribs

Please also check these user names, as this user is believed to be deliberatly violating policy this way. Ley Shade 07:29, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Space Cadet (talk · contribs) and Tirid Tirid (talk · contribs)

The reason for this suspicion: A report shows how closely the two cooperate. The paragraph "Then something really unusual happens..." alone provides enough insight.

The reason for check user charges:

• suspicion on deliberate evasion of Three revert rule: Space Cadet reverts for three times (, , ), then Tirid Tirid
• suspicion that they tried to create the illusion of broader support for positions (see esp. paragraph 2, 3, 7 of )
• suspicion on evasion of punishments for revert warring, by using more than one user account to continue the same revert wars that made Space Cadet face a week-long block (see Space Cadet's blocklog, cf.Tirid Tirid's contributions and Space Cadet's)
• on suspicion of double-voting in at least four cases

Case 1:Space Cadet, Tirid Tirid;

Case 2: Space Cadet, Tirid Tirid;

Case 3: Space Cadet, Tirid Tirid;

Case 4 (yesterday): Space Cadet, Tirid Tirid

For these reasons, an IP check might be interesting. Matthead 18:48, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I've blocked User:153.19.48.103 as a presumed sock of User:Molobo evading his 3RR ban on Września, and extended Molobo's ban because of it. Molobo protests his innocence; evidence on way or another would be useful William M. Connolley 19:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I support William here. Molobo was previously blocked for block evasion, specifically when he posted his comments on WP:AN3. The suspected IP and Molobo edit the same pages.

Just seconds after this person registered their account, he or she began creating nonsense or otherwise non-notable articles en masse in 2-minute intervals (i.e. Soap Bubble Laundromat, Samveg Saxena, Strawberry Smoothie, Yoga Booty Ballet, Zero X Posur, et cetera) and then repeatedly began asking me to unblock one of their IP addresses.

After deskana's vandalism and the quorum/cabal calls and strangers turning up to supprt the unebncyclopedic version on the vote this is outrageous.

This thread has turned into an entire discussion about justice and fairness, which in my view clogs up this page. Since there's a backlog on this page, and the admins with checkuser privileges have enough to wade through in order to find the actual requests, I've decided to be bold and move the entire thread to the Jesus talk page, which is where this issue originated. If I'm reverted, I won't revert back. I will just add that I'm perfectly happy that Jayjg carried out the check properly, and that he is correct in refusing to share the details with ordinary users.

Raisinman also manages his talk page in the same way Ken manages his talk page. i.e. frequent deletions of on topic material. David D. (Talk) 22:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

The other hint is that some of his changes redirect to a Christian Wiki that Kdbuffalo has contributed to. Alienus 01:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Although it's not reported here, User:Jayjg ran a checkuser, which established that Raisinman was, as suspected, a sockpuppet for Kdbuffalo. Raisinman has now been blocked indefinitely.

Ukiemob (talk · contribs) and Joestieg (talk · contribs)

• I ran across an edit war on Coca tea (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), wherein Joestieg (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) objected to the removal of a link to his website (which sells coca tea) and various other "fluffy" info by Veyklevar (talk · contribs). In addition to reverting the changes, Joestieg persistently removed comments by Veyklevar on the article talk page and on his own talk page, including vandalism warnings. I attempted to mediate (see Talk:Coca tea) and Joe appeared to cooperate. I also proposed that this relatively short article be merged into Coca. Shortly thereafter, a relatively new user, Ukiemob (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), all but one of whose edits are related to Coca or Coca tea, voted against the merger, but redirected Coca tea to Coca anyway; then he created a new article with the original content of Coca tea (including the link to Joestieg's web page) at Coca herbal tea and changed the Coca tea redirect to point there instead. When Veyklevar left a message on my talk page to alert me to this, Ukiemob deleted it from my talk page. Veyklevar has also pointed out that both 24.61.27.114 (talk • contribs) and 69.79.138.210 (talk • contribs) have very similar editing patterns to the aforementioned and are probably the same editor. I would particularly appreciated knowing whether Ukiemob is a sockpuppet of Joestieg, and also whether there is any connection between either of those users and the two IPs above. Thank you.

T12R responded four days later with another insult , with a reference to the University of Illinois. So far, the only edits T12R have made are to my talk page, trying to paint Wesley Person in the most flattering light possible (which is clearly against the NPOV and soapbox policies). A whois search of 130.126.223.232 turned up U of I . As a result, I have reason to suspect that Tre12Ross was probably created from 130.126.223.232 (or some other address in the U of I network, 130.126.0.0/16). --TML1988 04:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Check the history and you'll find that it says I wrote This user has been warned for vandalism.... what the heck well if you'll could check to see what IP's have got on I would love you But wait it get's even more complicated he/she changed my password so what to do? Help please!

Come on please help people All I Need is the IP adress of this guy to find him out and at the moment he's vandalizing

• Do you access WIkipedia from a shared computer? It could be that you failed to log out, allowing another user to get into your account and change the password. I don't see how knowing the IP address of the vandal will help you. You should post your problem, to WP:AIV and/or WP:AN/I to get the attention of an administrator. Thatcher131 15:30, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I use a computer at a library sometimes and I wish not to sign my comments at the moment because I feel stripped of everthing so please do not add unsigned. Also I have contacted a few administrators but they recommended I come here so I could at least know who the vandal is.

• You should be aware that the IP address of the computer you are using has been the source of wikipedia vandalism in the past, including at 8:45 this morning, in between two of your requests for assistance. That alone makes it highly doubtful that one of the sysops with the checkuser privilege will openly post here the IP address of the computer that was posting from the Xchrisblackx account. In any case what would you do with the information? If you registered with an e-mail address then you have the ability to reset the password and have it mailed to you. If you didn't, then this is a lesson to be very careful when editing from a public PC. I sympathize. Thatcher131 18:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

The difficulty here, of course, is that how do we know the person posting HERE asking to get back into the account is the same person? Anyway, all edits by this account come from IPs traceable to the Citizens Telephone Cooperative of Floyd, VA. I also see a fair amount of sockpuppeting from one particular IP that's put things all over your userpage etc - if there's someone that's done this, it would be them.

SnF was recently banned based on a statement of intent to systematically remove well-referenced information from Misplaced Pages and Imacomps behaviour is tending tow indicate that it's the same person. Most notably is an increasing use of edit summaries to convey personal attacks. If there is a corroboration of the previous check then I'll report over on WP:AN/I for an enforcement of the ban.

There are likely others as well; there is an attempt to stack a vote at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Michael Crook with newly created sockpuppets, would be nice to know who the puppetmaster is so this can be swiftly curtailed. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 11:15, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Axiomm (talk · contribs)

There is something very strange about Axiomm (talk · contribs). His/her fourth edit was a vote on Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Christopherlin, his third edit created Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Yahooligans which seems to be nonsense without content or context, and his other edits are creation or recreation of nonsense content articles like Humbierto. Maybe a sock for a prevously banned troublemaker? Thatcher131 12:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

FARVA (talk · contribs)

Has the same editing style and targets the same people for harassment as User:Eat At Joes and User:SteveInPrague, who were both blocked for abuse. All three of these accounts are suspected "DickWitham" sockpuppets. Master Of RSPW 13:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

...but only by Master Of RSPW aka Chadbryant (see below). --FARVA 03:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Master Of RSPW (talk · contribs) and Chadbryant (talk · contribs)

They seem so much alike and just happen to have the same agenda. When Chadbryant is 'away', Master Of RSPW is right there to continue on instead of Chadbryant. Master Of RSPW seems to wave around certain Misplaced Pages policies and rules that Chadbryant has recently been warned against doing, as if Master Of RSPW felt personally offended by Chadbryant being warned. He acts in exactly the same manner that Chadbryant has been known to do. He places sockpuppet tags freely on other use pages, but gets offended when someone does the same to Master Of RSPW even though there are valid suspicions. Chadbryant acts in exactly the same way, adding sockpuppet tags to other pages, yet being offended when people accuse him of having sockpuppets.

NOTE: To the person who does the CheckUser - If they don't turn up a complete match, please check to see if Master Of RSPW is editing from behind an open proxy or a very public place. If it turns up to be a very public place, please note that Chadbryant claims to be from Salt Lake City, Utah, so any public place in or near that city should be very suspicious. tv316 14:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

NOTE: I theorize that the IP for Master Of RSPW will most likely be one for a ComCast Cable site somewhere in the USA or from an anon service called SecureIx. I also wish to point out that it is easily verifiable through a glance at Google's Usenet archives that the Id 'Master of RSPW' was one that Chad used for a while on rec.sport.pro-wrestling some years back. He also had a live Journal blog (now removed due to posting of personal information) with the Master of RSPW Id. TruthCrusader 15:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

NOTE: The numerous amounts of vandalism that Master Of RSPW has placed on pages since his creation should warrant enough suspicion to validate this CheckUser request. In addition, it should be made clear that one reason for this suspicion is Chadbryant's past behavior of having used "Master Of RSPW" as a moniker/handle in several locations on and around the Internet, including Google Groups which "Master" is attempting to use as a source to justify his rampant sockpuppet tagging on one particular account. This sockpuppet tagging, along with the tagging of other accounts as sockpuppets, matches almost word-for-word and account-for-account the (invalid and vandalistic) sockpuppet tagging which Chadbryant has engaged in. A quick check of the User Contributions of both parties may confirm this. Chadbryant Master Of RSPW. It also must be said that during the times "Chadbryant" was blocked, "Master Of RSPW" was active. --166.102.89.76 03:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

NOTE: I concur all of the above statements. See http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Nashville_Municipal_Auditorium&action=history as an example. --Zpb52 03:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

NOTE: Master Of RSPW is not my sock, and that at this point, it is most likely being operated by someone who has responded above with deliberately misleading speculation. A CheckUser will be my vindication. - Chadbryant 09:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

NOTE: Taking Chadbryant's word that he is not running a sockpuppet would be a misleading and incorrect course of action. By that logic, anyone who has had or will have a CheckUser request can come on this page and say "It's not me, trust me, so you can stop now" just as Chad has done. He has a history of lying, both on rec.sport.pro-wrestling in Usenet as well as many other places both on and offline -- and, as stated above, his "vindication" may turn out to be nothing more than an anonymized service. All indicators point towards him; granted, in a court of law it would be circumstancial evidence, but this is far from a court of law, isn't it? --FARVA 14:22, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

64.192.107.242 (talk · contribs) et. al.

Still fairly new to Misplaced Pages so I hope this is the right place for this. Here is a list I have compiled of what I believe to be one busy vandal. I don't know if they're related to a known vandal but there are a lot of sockpuppets here. Most of the edits from all these accounts relate to similar articles; in fact, it's hard to find an article edited by only one of the accounts below. Very few of the edits are productive. Most of them are attempts to get Misplaced Pages to conform to this person's own ideas, regardless of the positions of others or official Wiki policies or guidelines (for example, unnecessary changes, redirects, or pagemoves to American English spellings vs. British. Almost all of the accounts have been used in a manner that violates WP:SOCK. Tons of multiple votes, strawman arguments, evading blocks, the works. Sometimes reverts his/her own vandalism in an apparent attempt to make one account seem more legit. Has also nominated his/her own ludicrous articles for AfD, probably to avoid PROD or speedy deletion. Many of these accounts have been accused at one time or another of being sockpuppets; some are blocked or banned, but most are not. The edits are usually to pages having to do with very large numbers, language, and evolution. In total there has been a lot of vandalism, but most of it is minor enough that no one bothers warning him/her most of the time, and even when they do, the warning is often deleted from the user page. Generally flaunts admin authority and consensus votes. Has used the phrase "on wheels!" to vandalize. I found these accounts just by clicking around in contribution pages etc. I could be wrong about a few of them, but I am convinced that most of these are the same person. -Big Smooth 18:39, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

RendezvousSingh (talk · contribs) vs 10 000 thundering typhoons (talk · contribs)

These two users have been POV pushing and edit warring at Rajput. As they have been reverting to the same version and RendezvousSingh is close to being an obvious sock, I think there is good reason to believe that they are in some way "related". If they are, then there's a violation of WP:SOCK as the RendezvousSingh account has been used to avoid the 3RR. Also, if it's not too late, can you please check whether they are one of the users banned in Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Rajput. Thanks. --Latinus 18:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

RandallR (talk · contribs), VrrayMan (talk · contribs), and Randallrobinstine (talk · contribs)

VrrayMan (talk · contribs) was blocked indefinitely earlier today for merciless vandalism. The user RandallR (talk · contribs) has edited many of the same articles and made virtually the exact same edits to said articles earlier this week. RandallR, by the sentence placed on the userpage, admits to being Randall Robinstine, who (obviously) was the accountholder for Randallrobinstine (talk · contribs), which was indefinitely banned in December 2005 for the exact same edits on the exact same pages as the two other screen names. Vrray9000@yahoo (talk · contribs) (also banned indefinitely) is also guilty of the same practices, and it is obvious that screen name coincides with VrrayMan. I do all of this, because the only one of these accounts that is still active is RandallR, and it needs to be blocked indefinitely in order to prevent the same behavior in the future. --Zpb52 04:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

A request User:Paln

Anonymous editor has accused another user Paln as a sock-puppet of Deepak, most likely of the user User:Deepak gupta on a talk page, namely, Talk:Terrorism in Kashmir in the section named Deletion of referenced material. I request for examination of the matter in its entirety. If the charge of sock-puppetry is proved, I request for initiation of appropriate steps. In case, the charge turns out to be false, I request for initiation of suitable measures against the accusor as in my humble opinion, false accusation of this nature violates several basic principles of wikipedia, including Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks and is also highly disruptive behavior. I am doing this in the long term interest of the Project. --Bhadani 15:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Bhadani seems to be doing this is incredibly bad faith and especially when the situation has already passed a month ago. He's only doing this because he's angry over other issues that he can't seem to settle. The sockpuppet accusation is not a personal attack, it's an accusation editors make every day based on the evidence of a user's contributions (look at the list on this page). A new policy just can't be introduced that he claims "suitable measures" that should be taken against the accusor.

The user who was accused and I have already settled this and Bhadani's only doing it a month later because he is looking forward for revenge. Extremely bad faith and as I said before, it doesn't even have to be Deepak but it could be a sock of other editors, some who have used them before, that wanted to make the situation worse. But Bhadani, bringing this up at a later date just to make it worse after it's already been settled, violating WP:POINT and disrupting wikipedia for revenge or because you can't settle simple issues, is bad faith and similarly I think that the appropriate measures should be taken against you in the long term interest of the project. --a.n.o.n.y.m 16:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Dzonatas / Jhballard

Durova (talk · contribs) has initated an RfC against Dzonatas (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) founded in no small part on the assumption that Dzonatas is the same person as Jhballard (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log). There is some evidence to support this, largely in the selection and content of edits to Joan of Arc (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), but I would not regard this as conclusive; Dzonatas is a somewhat disputatious editor in my view, but certainly not without redeeming features. Since an RfC depends on it, I request a CheckUser please. Thanks, Just zis Guy you know? 19:04, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Jhballard's last edit is way too long ago (November 20, 2005) for CheckUser to work in this case. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 08:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
