CU log

Reason(s): All but JohnStung have spammed in n:it:Project:Bar, inserting – out of context and disruptive – external links masked as plaintext by means of html code. Registered users seem to follow a single-shot-and-leave tactic, even not blocked, but sometimes cross-wiki in short timespan (ShannonAustin and SimsimiUy). Maybe an organized spamming campaign that, in wikis, targets at high visibility pages that must necessarily remain unprotected. 124.6.181.* have spammed in July/August 2011 (maybe out of sight of this CU) and that led to a short local range block after which they stopped; 112.205.235.54 came in October 2011, first with the same html template of previous IPs and then with simple external link; now (February/March 2012) there are the registered users with the same html template and single-shot tactics. JohnStung hit mw:Help talk:Contents with same tactics. It's likely that there are many other users scattered across projects and languages.
Question is: is here a single spammer or a small local organization that I can block locally via ip-range without interfere with good edits that can come from there to other wikis — or maybe whatelse needing global blocks ? Or could it be some malware ? -- Codicorumus « msg 14:37, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

CU log
Discussion: w:zh:WP:DYKC

Reason(s): Inhins and Ronochen act in very similiar way in recent weeks, such as helping Sdee (giving barnstars to Sdee[1], voting

Support to Sdee's DYK nomination when near the end of the voting to make it pass[2][3]), doing something affacting me (e.g. making attack on me[4], unreasonably marking substub template to articles those I created[5][6], etc). In past CheckUser result, it was found that proxy is used. Additionally, it is known that the above IPs are the network in Sdee's college (ref [7], showing the descr of IP "DU-iftedu", in which "iftedu" is the code for the college). Therefore, I suspect that Sdee is at least using Inhins and Ronochen at the collage network to violate voting rules and in order to avoid CU. Please check the 3 accounts and, if possible, the IPs also. Thank you very much! --CDIP No.150 repair meter 08:34, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

We didn't agree this request. 58.29.48.106 is Unypoly and he has misused IP, 58.29.48.106. although you have a result, You don't declare a result about this request. and you should block 58.29.48.106. and It is strongly advised that you check ko:백:다중 계정 검사 요청 and consensus of some request.

At Q's request I have done further digging. All

Confirmed and if you look at the block log you will see the problematic ranges have been blocked for the medium term. I only saw 1 possible account that would take collateral damage. I have notified CU to see if others are having similar issues. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Billinghurst (talk • contribs) 09:24, 7 April 2012.

First of all, wow. Nice work uncovering this everyone. Billinghurst, you say one account could take collateral damage. I think it can just be given the IP block exemption flag? --Krenair ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:36, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Zero edits anywhere,, and I couldn't be sure that it is a good account, so I wasn't overly fussed. If MW thinks that it should be, then I can dig it out and grant exclusion. billinghurst sDrewth 12:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Reason(s): There is an edit war running the last days in the article of el:Χρυσή Αυγή (extreme right political party of greece: the English article of that party is en:Golden Dawn (Greece)). In this article I suspect that the users Alexispao, Ιστορία, Tromaras, Solio and 46.12.136.233 are sock-puppets. The users has been notified about the policy about sock-puppets in the discussion page of that article [8]. There is also a notice about possible sock-puppetry on the administration board [9]. The new user Κάρυστος50 probably is a sock-puppet of Alexispao or Ιστορία or Tromaras or Solio or 46.12.136.233. This user did a lot edit-war within the article el:Ρέθυμνο, and has been blocked being rude. Now the 212.251.116.28 is probably the IP of Κάρυστος50.. which is used for abusing people and flame-war [10] while the registered account: Κάρυστος50 is blocked. Please investigate if sock-puppetry is taking place. Ggia (talk) 17:31, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

To the checkuser: Please note that user Κάρυστος50 and 212.251.116.28 have contributed only in the article of el:Ρέθυμνο and have not have not been involved in any other article than el:Ρέθυμνο. Both are currently blocked (one by myself), being obvious to the admins of el-wiki that are one and the same user. I do not see any valid reason to check these users against the other users mentioned here, who are contributing / possibly sockpuppeting / in another article (el:Χρυσή Αυγή). --FocalPoint (talk) 19:53, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

To the checkuser: It is true that Κάρυστος50 is a new user with only contributions to el:Ρέθυμνο but left this message to my talk page [11] commenting about the article of el:Χρυσή Αυγή. I suspect that is also a sock-pupper of the other group of users {Alexispao, Ιστορία, Tromaras, Solio and 46.12.136.233}. I suggest that this one should be checked also.

Reason(s): Was blocked before due to sockpuppetry (see [12]). Another CU result appointed a possible connection to this case.

I'm trying to see if it's possible to uncover other accounts.

Well, without any great eagerness I performed a check on this user, and found nothing suspect.

Reason(s): Suspected sock puppets of known pt.wikt vandal D&S. Please see my previous request related to this vandal for more information. And please, check them not only among themselves (to see if they are the same person) but also with other accounts used by this vandal in the past. Also take into account that he has been known to use open proxies in his vandalisms.

If you could check some of the new accounts created today in pt.wikt as well, I would be very grateful. There has been an unusual spur of activity, and some of the user names are slightly suspect, but I cannot say for sure.

Thanks.

--ValJor (talk) 08:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

CheckUser is not a prophylactic, nor is WMF able to filter new users. We simply have to judge users on their edits, and if there are problematic edits or editors then we will deal with them as they appear. Even (especially?) stewards are to comply with CheckUser#Use of the tool. billinghurst sDrewth 13:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

It looks like the good guys have their hands tied and the bad guys can do whatever they want. Sad state of affairs...

As I mentioned before, this guy is really insidious, his first "contributions" look very innocent for someone looking at them for the first time. He then establishes his puppets and after that starts the real vandalism. I have been trying to stop him before he can do real harm.

Anyway, in the past it has happened that you guys would find more sockpuppets than I had originally listed. I was asking for something like that.

Well, I listed a few more names that may be puppets of this vandal. Please check those. Thanks again for all the hard work!

We really can't check every new account. There must have a good reason to do it (i.e something on the username, something on the user edits that matches any pattern) or we run the risk of checking innocent users. For example, 'Mecanismo' is a regular user from pt.wiki and - though I can't assure that - it is very unlikely that he is related.‴ T_ele^s (T _{@ L C S}) 00:22, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Reason(s): Abusive sock puppetry. Abuse of sockpuppet accounts, using them to evade user accountability—and especially to make personal attacks. Creating an illusion of support (WP:ILLEGIT). Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts. Keeping one account "clean" while using another to engage in disruption. Voting several times in a RFA (e.g.). I should add that Americophile has previous records of sock puppetry. Once he was blocked for a long period for his abusive sock puppets. I should add that these users have similar edit pattern, sometimes using the same slang Behzad.Modares (talk) 01:45, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Reason(s): Their deleted contribs like remarkably similar in some ways. These are the kinds usernames a spammer would make. No local CheckUsers.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:27, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Confirmed and blocked for spam. -- Tegel _(Talk) 18:29, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Be sure to block the underlying IP(s).--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:31, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

That's done as well. -- Tegel _(Talk) 18:31, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Reason(s): Like the above accounts, this account used HTML tags, and created a userpage quite similar to one of the above accounts' (all in deleted contribs). No local CheckUsers. Consider this request to include the above accounts.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:24, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Reason(s): crosswiki spam, not sure if I put this in the right place... en.vw doesn't have checkusers. PiRSquared17 (talk) 01:46, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, the template doesn't take more than one wiki.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:16, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Reason(s): Based on deleted contribs' page names, yet another spammer like before (see my previous requests for this wiki above). No local CheckUsers.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:07, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

It does not seem to be related with previous accounts checked. No other accounts found.‴ T_ele^s (T _{@ L C S}) 03:27, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Strange considering that Dpuw6402, created just half an hour earlier, had his talk page also included in this spammer's spamming.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:31, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah... I saw that. Checkuser tool didn't relate it to Dpuw6402 though and I have no reason to check Dpuw6402.‴ T_ele^s (T _{@ L C S}) 04:21, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Discussion: Please also add 2.144.207.28. Following pages are examples of pages that are edited by these users: 1, 2, 3. These users are using the same slangs and idioms that support these idea that they are probably one user. (of course these idioms and slang not very widely used by everyone and it is very unlikely that 3 unrelated users have such a similar language and vocabulary)

Reason(s): Abusive sock puppetry. All these accounts and IP voted and participated together in a sensitive election (e.g.). Abuse of sockpuppet accounts, using them to evade user accountability—and especially to make personal attacks. Creating an illusion of support (WP:ILLEGIT). Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts. Keeping one account "clean" while using another to engage in disruption. I should add that user:همان and two other suspecting accounts are currently blocked for violation of various Wiki policies, therefore, any other active account from these users are abusive sock puppets.

Pai mei and همان are

Unrelated. No comment with regard to the IP address. Trijnstel_talk 20:24, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Please investigate the IP as well. The IP was very disrupting and it did serious personal attacks and voted with the users. If it is the sock of this user. It will be a huge issue.Behzad.Modares (talk) 20:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

As a response to your email you send to me: I can only say the IP address is definitely

Unrelated to user همان (who has sysop rights). Trijnstel_talk 20:37, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
