Reason(s): These accounts added a lot of things which are against WP:NPOV and WP:LIVING .Especially,some have been confirmed as ~~spam~~sockpuppets. Amazingloong 16:01, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Seems (s)he does not mean spam but 'sockpuppets'. Imaxy and 神的邻居 are found to be sockpuppets in some earlier CUs. --Bencmq 16:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay... but how can you be sure that w:zh:User:栽一棵树 and w:zh:User:Partricksharep did anything against WP:NPOV and WP:LIVING ? I will need more details, especially on those two accounts. Thanks -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 18:35, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

These accounts are registered in one day and upload many pictures in commons for w:zh:User:Cnzhengzhou's Articles which is not hot topic in the same time. However,the pictures are likely from the same auther.--Amazingloong 01:51, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I suggest to do this check. Imaxy used to abuse other users then use other puppet accounts to get rid of indefinite block, which is against the puppet policy.--K egns 09:43, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Imaxy and 神的邻居 are too old while Partricksharep and 栽一棵树 are mispelled (and I cannot find the real one since I cannot understand ZH at all).

Confirmed 郑大好样 → 襄樊一夜 → Cnzhengzhou → Xiuxiudi → Zxganbu → Woaizx → Zgdxq → 文物保护家 // Cnzhengzhou→Hunhund →Buyaopohuai →Herstory→Danyangdy while Huanlede9 has no incoming arrows but to me it's yet another puppet.

CU log
Discussion: Discussion: discussion 1, discussion 2

Ex: ex 1, ex 2

Reason(s): User:Dragons forced to remove the other users' contributions(look ex 2 link above) and filled with his own view of Catholics. He did not respond to any others' protests for the issue on his discussion page. Since the user request of User:Dragon, he has not responed even to Korean administrators (link) though they mentioned "If you do not explain/clarify what you have done, we, administrators will ban you (from Korean Wikipedia)" twice. After then, User:Tkv4 committed a very similiar vandalism on the same article (take a look at ex 1 link above). The examples above are very part of his vandalisms and there are still more that he has committed. If you need more examples then I can translate [discussion 2 link] here. Also, these suspicious accounts(User:Dragons, User:Trkv4) have a very similiar pattern of creating and editing articles. Ykhwong 15:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Actually I don't see a local consensus (which is afaik needed on ko.wiki) about your requests (anyway you should check the first link, I had to find the right one via special:search). --Vituzzu 16:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

You can take a look at this: w:ko:사용자토론:Dragons#해명 요청. The first link was not a discussion indeed (I was confused), sorry. Ykhwong 16:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Reason(s): Looks like a Bambifan101 sock. BF101 has edited articles pertaining to Charlotte's web and Bambi. The edits are in the Global contributions tool by Luxo. Maybe this would be better if it was in global blocks/locks. πr² (t • c) 01:49, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry but

Declined. I know this is a good faith request notwithstanding per edit patterns and projects editted I think it's —as you say— clear it's him so no need for CU. I see that the IP does not edit since early today so IMHO there's no need for a globalblock either right now. However the IP looks like an open proxy. If the proxy can be confirmed or problematic edits starts please post at SRG. I'm working on determining the open proxy right now, though.

CU log

Reason(s): The above users (except Easyeasy) are all new and almost all of their edits are on w:zh:Talk:林峯 (because the article itself is protected by me due to heavy sock puppet abuse). These users advocate Easyeasy's point of view, and hence possibly an abuse of multiple accounts to create false sense of consensus. On another point, Easyeasy pops up at the end of October, started with a request to unprotect a TVB-related article. Given the history of heavy sock abuse on TVB-topic articles, Easyeasy is likely to be an account of someone else. Bencmq 02:27, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Easyeasy is clearly unrelated to others per CU data (and others are not really together too).

But I would advise to take this negative CU result with precautions, because they are obviously ducks. For example, the first edit of 杨五郎的护卫兵 is on the user page of EasyEasy. So they are necessarily related somehow.

After all, even if the CU results are inconclusive, I would not take these comments into account, as people creating an account to comment somewhere are not members of the community, so their vote is not representative of it (that's why a lot of wikis have conditions on the date of creation and the editcount for an account to vote).

lt:user:Nomad is admin in Lithuanian Wikipedia. In WP LT often negative comments. Suspicion is: Nomad owner of anonim and author of negativ comments. We do not have checkuser in WP LT.

Reason(s): These user show equal pattern and thought including cutting edit off reason. So to speak, I think user:100범 use many multiplex user to avoid wiki blocking.

Not done for exactly the same reasons as a month ago. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 13:15, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I do agree with the decision : communism and anti-feminism is a matter of opinion, not illegal, and as long as these opinions are not harassing and insulting or threatening directly some designated persons, and also allow the contradiction without forcing others to adopt their one or delete their own contributions, and do not spam the subject in unrelated areas where they are completely out of topic, this opinion can be respected ; in articles, sources may be asked but verifiable public statements by personalities or authors can be cited as long as there's no breach of copyright. Users can have very different opinions and defend them. This is freedom of speech, a freedom that Wikmedia defends, even if those opinions do not please to everyone or just to a local or global majority. verdy_p 20:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Please don't make an ideological matter out of a merely technical one:) CU needs local consensus and is intended to be used to avoid canvassing, sockpuppeting, etc. etc....

List of users: 189.100.209.5 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

CU log

Reason(s): Compare this IP with Marcos Elias de Oliveira Júnior. Reason; This IP makes block requests from other users, and soon the user will appear to have Marcos to make the blocks (this is just one example, check the page history of requests to administrators), most at infinity against newly created users. Even undoing actions of others and following the administrators that this IP calls. Remembering that it is illegal and a danger to the local community an administrator to log out and order locks and then meets them already logged. Sorry for my bad english! --186.249.128.160 22:11, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

I would make a similar request. The contributions of the IP 189.100.209.5 show that he always edit when Marcos is online (or very close to a logged action made by him). He would be asking for blocks and performing those same blocks, which is not allowed by our local policy (pretending that there are more people supporting a particular opinion).

CU log

Reason(s): The behavior of users is similar. It has been checked before, but in a check, the result was possible and in another, unrelated. Can you do the check again? Pc^Talk 21:32, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

This confirm that Paulotanner and Quintinense are the same person (done by Fr33kman). This check was closed with a comment by Vituzzu (even if editpattern shows some evidences), but Quintinense was not on the list of checked users and Paulotanner was. I think that warrants a check to see if Marcus is Quintinense also (per edit pattern), a check that has never been done (to my knowledge). José Luiz ^talk 22:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

CU log

Reason(s): Hi there. Could you please check and see if User:味休 is a sockpuppet account operated by User:Symplectopedia? This new user was apparently created for the sole purpose of disruptively reverting some of my recent, non-problematic edits [5][6]. I suspect the main account to be User:Symplectopedia as the behaviour of following other users' good, recent edits and simply reverting them is typical of him [7][8][9], and that he was the user that many people at zh.wp (myself included) have long-running feuds with (arguably the most notorious yet unblocked user active there [10][11]) and the only user that could possibly have done this.

Your help is much appreciated. Wyang 09:26, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

List of users: Rosenberg (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

CU log

Reason(s): There have been a lot of sock masters using wikiversity in the past few months. There have been many disruptive users over the past few months with many of them "working" with Abd. User appeared out of no where, made edits to obscure areas, talks about a long past with Abd and justifications to give him adminship with no edits. There have been a few CUs investigating things lately at Wikiversity, but there hasn't been much public information on that so there is little to say who the sock master could be or what they are up to. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

If anyone is interested, I suspect that the user is a sock of Poetlister, especially since there are many verbal ques and tactics that have been used by Poetlister in the past, and Abd recently tried to unblock Poetlister on en.wikiversity. Ottava Rima (talk) 05:18, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

CheckUser is not for fishing. Sorry to say, but you didn't (or can't) provide direct evidence that this is Poetlister or any other long-term vandal. Therefore I need to reject your request. Rosenberg is a non-sul account and it's possible he doesn't own the other accounts, something he admitted: "Incidentally, the contributions to the Polish wikipedia aren't mine. I did make some contributions to the English wikipedia a number of years ago (on the subject of postal ZIP codes, as I recall) but I may have made those contributions anonymously."[12] Additionally you can't rule out that this is really his only account: "he [Ottava Rima] accuses me of being a sock (which I am not - this my only account and Rosenberg is my real name)". Further Abd could've had email contact with Rosenberg: "Adb didn't know me any more than Ottava does. But Adb was supportive, offered (and gave) his assistance, and really did make me feel welcome." The comment of Abd on the talk page of Rosenberg proves this: "Proxy accepted based on off-wiki email."[13] Therefore I see no ground for a checkuser at the moment. Kind regards, Trijnstel 11:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

", but you didn't (or can't) provide direct evidence that this is Poetlister " The only direct evidence ever when it comes to socks is IP checking. There is 100% no other way to directly prove two people are the same. It has always been circumstantial. And it is obvious that the user is not on his first account - This is his first edit. He had no experience with Wikiversity and that page is neither official nor blatant. He chose Abd with no way to choose Abd. The first edit followed Poetlister being crossed wiki banned [14] and the vote in support of Abd follows Abd unblocking Poetlister (which lead to the Custodianship vote, which is his second edit. At the very least, a sock check has to be performed on Poetlister and Poetlister1 accounts which are globally banned and have been recently active on Wikiversity.

Hello. I have results, but poor results. I don't think that CU is the best detection method for that, you should also try to match their patterns with a bot or with the AbuseFilter.

All are of course

Confirmed, and here is a list of other unblocked related accounts, but it's definitely non exhaustive :

Discussion: Bellavista1957 desysoping RfC and Reza1615 RfA -->

Reason(s): It's a little complicated to explain. There's an RfC on faws to remove administrator access of Bellavista1957 due to misusing his sysop privileges. Yesterday, I made a request here to desysop Bellavista1957 because of blocking me for 6 month without any obvious reason and blocking other users who have a different point of view than his opinions (e.g. Reza1615 and Rezabot) and lots of other mistakes such as indefinite fully protection of articles that is obviously against concept of wiki (this is NOT related to proofreading process or edit wars). User:PeterSymonds asked me to start a desysop discussion locally and I did. Our community is really small and the number of active users is limited to 33 that most of them have had less than 5 edits in last month. Today some users who were not very active and had the same opinions and attitudes as Bellavista1957 have appeared and voted against desysoping him. Both of them cannot speak Persian fluently and some of their sentences are meaningless or in a false structure. Both of them just insist on blocking me for 6 months or more without providing any appropriate reason. Both of them have an aggressive behavior toward me and their statements are full of humiliation, swear words and etc. Both of them have obviously no basic understanding of an admin duties and its philosophy. I want to mention that Rostamdastan voted aganist Reza1615 exacactly like Bellavista. (To Prove the small size of our community, I want you to consider his RfA that just one user took part in). Thanks in advance Americophile 17:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Doing... There seem to be sufficient grounds for a check here. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:57, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

All are technically

Unrelated. The only thing similar is geolocation, certainly not conclusive, but Bellavista1957 and Solhosafa both edit from the same European city, so it might be possible that they're familiar with each other. Otherwise, they are almost certainly three independent users. PeterSymonds (talk) 18:09, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Reason(s): Hi there! It is a problem of sock puppetry. Could you please check this users and say if they are one and the same person. I am sysop on the breton wikipedia and have to deal with the problems brought by this user. I'm pretty sur they are used by the same person in discussion about wikipedia.br's work here and here for instance. He has been banned on wikipedia.fr partially to have created too much sockpuppets. Some ar mentioned in another request made by a previous breton sysop on Meta here. He has created a lot of sockpuppets already on br.wikipedia. There is a list in breton here. The person is using at least two ip : his personal one and his profesional one (at the University of Rennes 2 - UHB). Thank you. Kadwalan 22:42, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

List of users: وحید قاسمیان (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); ویکی خور (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): I'm an admin in fa.wiki, these two single-purpose accounts almost participate only in RfDs and also have always complaining edits against RfD results or the other users, etc (esp. وحید قاسمیان which have warned many times for his disruptive edits). ویکی خور appears everywhere وحید قاسمیان does and vice versa. Also their accounts have been created in a same time (about one year ago). These two accounts are almost the same and I think they have some other sock puppets (ویکی خور had been checked before (when our project had two checkusers) and that was the result.). So please check both of them for their sock puppets. Thanks Mehran^Debate 19:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Unrelated they live in two different cities.

Anyway, ویسکی خور is ویکی خور but dealing with both users there are some accounts sharing some infos, not enough to say "sockpuppets" but enough to take a look at them: Mamadex and Klaatu are similar to وحید قاسمیان and Mohammad bauer, Khazar T and Neghnegh may be ویکی خور. in these case CU-evidences are not enough at all but I think it's worth to take a look at their edits. --Vituzzu 23:20, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
