CU log

Reason(s): I know that this SRCU-request might seem a bit odd, since the accounts already got blocked and it indeed looks like a WP:DUCK. However, the Croatian and Serbian Wikipedias already had to deal with such trolls that created accounts with insulting or provocating texts in Serbian-Cyrillic and Latin. I am kindly asking you to approve this request. We (or I) want to know if we are having to deal with the same troll or maybe with a group of people. Please also check if the data of those SPA-trolls is related to any others. Best regards,

I could keep going with socks that are on the range that Seedintenso is on, but the only ones I can tell for sure are already blocked, so I think it's pointless to continue. The socks above are only likely because they come from the same range with the same very generic useragent, but most are already blocked. -- Amanda (she/her) 08:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

CU log

Reason(s): Suspected large-scale block evasion by حسام علي جاد (Hossam Ali Gad, a non-notable veterinarian). The user creates multiple accounts to create pages about himself (on various projects). As it usually takes quite a while to uncover accounts, I would like to request a check to confirm whether the new accounts (nrs. 3-6) can be connected to the original, older accounts and/or whether any sleepers would still be present. Please note that this abuse also plays at arwikiquote, arwikiversity, arwikibooks, incubator and arwiki (although that one it outside the scope of this request, as they have local CU's). Daniuu (talk) 18:31, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I spoke with Daniuu via IRC, and due to the nature of these users, we are going to stick with a LWCU for these and I have already preformed the check and locked the relevant accounts. -- Amanda (she/her) 10:12, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

CU log

Reason(s): Users named like "Wzjg1XX" have been keeping adding contents which are copied from baike.baidu.com and here I wonder if these accounts with similar usernames are sockpuppets of someone. P.s. it seems that User:Wzjg{101-117} (except 114) have been created and some of them have not made any edit. --Sayonzei (talk) 09:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

CU log

Reason(s): User named BatlaaTs is doing the same as user Enkhsaihan2005 (BatlaaTs and Enkhsaihan2005), whom I banned last year for long-running machine translation. User Enkhsaihan2005 or user BatlaaTs recently sabotaged my admin choice under different user names. He was also nominated himself for admin, I ask him to be globally banned. Munkhzaya.E (talk) 08:27, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

For the time being on the CU side, Confirmed BatlaaTs, Enkhsaihan2005, Dashbileg, Tenuun.B, Temuulen Batkhuyag, Amaraa Amartugs, Shinee R., Nanadooo. I'm looking into whether any action should be taken about these users. -- Amanda (she/her) 09:34, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Συζήτηση:Jason_Αντιγόνη/Πρόταση_επαναδημιουργίας&action=edit&section=1 as Data Gamer

— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kalogeropoulos (talk) 21:39, 15 Αυγούστου 2022 (UTC)

Hi Amanda; let me clarify the situation a little bit. Accounts Xaris333, Data Gamer, and Aisonas are not active. It has been found that Data Gamer was a (not declared) "new start" of Xaris 333, and Aisonas a sockpuppet of Data Gamer. When this was revealed, more "new starts" followed : Xaris 3 (with limited activity), Philocypros (as a supposedly final "new start", with regular activity), and Alpha333, Alpha334 & Alpha335, as "new starts" of Philocypros, whose activity was abruptly halted. About all this mess, see the following discussions (in Greek) in Admins Noticeboard of el/WP : "Ξεκαθάρισμα κかっぱαあるふぁιいおた εξηγήσεις", and "Πόσες νέες αρχές ?". The IP 109.xxx is not connected to Xaris, but it has a pattern of highly trollish "interventions", plus possible vandalisms in several articles. The range of this IP is blocked for 3 months in en/WP, because it was considered to be one of the IPs of a well known puppeteer (and cross-wiki abuser, active inter alia in el/WP); cf. w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dealer07/Archive. One of their latest sock was JustAnotherChance, and the 109.xxx ΙいおたΡろー seems to be connected to this user [1]. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 09:39, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Reason(s): This user registered 1-2 days ago and even though he is so new he accuses old users of sockpuppeting ([2], [3]) and his edits show that he knows wikipedia and is also aggressive with other users ([4], [5]) AlPaD (talk) 05:27, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello @AlPaD. Is there any reason why this user cannot be blocked on behavioural grounds alone? I am not sure a check is required in this case. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio: Hello! The user had attacked users who haven't any editing long after before his registration and users who have never interacted with him. What worries me is how he seen the users and if was he interacted with them with another account. AlPaD (talk) 10:18, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio FYI, the user in question has been indef. blocked on el/WP as a puppet based on their contribution pattern. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 20:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Please note, again, that this is based on technical evidence only. Make sure run additional behavioural checks before blocking or taking any other action. Some of the listed accounts are blocked, but I did not checked for how long. This SRCU seems related to this one as well as this other. I hope that this helps. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

List of users: Lifelooser (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Lifeloser (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): After triggering a manual revert on a local page zh:國立こくりつ竹ちく南みなみ高級こうきゅう中學ちゅうがく, Lifelooser has been spotted by community members that his or her edits strongly correlate with an IP range: 140.114.0.0/16, which was identified as Stalin kzj. As a result, Lifelooser was blocked from editing, so does Lifeloser, a user with the name implying he or she is Lifelooser (well, ducked username, to put it simple). However Lifeloser has submitted an unblock request, claiming he or she did not use any socks. A check is therefore requested in regards to this claim from Lifeloser. Thanks in advance.

CU log
Discussion: voy:en:Wikivoyage:CheckUser

Reason(s): Brendan John Williams, or Brendan/Telstra as they're better known is a long-known LTA on en.voy, mostly known for their copyvios. The key thing here is that they never communicate with us (except once on voy:User talk:Brendan John Williams). They've been community banned since I think 2014, and mostly edits using IPs (they're an IP hopping user) or creates a new account for every single edit. The latter hasn't happened for almost a year though.

Yesterday, BrandonJuanWilliams turned up and left a message on voy:en:User talk:ThunderingTyphoons! claiming they're "ready to talk". Later, they admitted to creating AussieQuarantineGuy, but remember, they almost never communicate with us.

That's where Libertarianmoderate (Libmod) comes in. This user was active well before my time on en.voy, but looking at several discussions including voy:en:User talk:Libertarianmoderate, it seems they've impersonated Brendan (known more commonly as "Telstra" back then). This user also has an interest in editing war zones, including the many conflicts in the Middle East + a few others (such as Somalia). In this case, AussieQuarantineGuy edited voy:Ashkelon and voy:Syria, specifically the warningbox, which is what Libmod liked to do.

I realise that Libertarianmoderate has been globally locked for almost four years and it may not be possible, but I am not sure what the processes are with lock evading socks. It's highly unlikely that this user is Brendan, because of voy:en:Special:Diff/4507767 (one of Brendan's IP socks). Please ping me if more evidence is needed.

Discussion: w:el:Συζήτηση:Στέλιος_Λιθοξοΐδης (talk page of the deleted article in el/WP οおみくろんn Stelios Lithoxoidis)

Reason(s): All these recently created accounts are invloved in the creation and/or recreation of articles that promote Stelios Lithoxoidis (in Greek: Στέλιος Λιθοξοΐδης), a young novelist from Florina, Greece. It looks like a case of sock- and, or meat- puppetry. User SteliosLithoxoidis12 last month created the Στέλιος Λιθοξοΐδης article in el/WP (see account log) that was later deleted as totally self-advertising, and for apparent lack of notability (see discussion w:el:Συζήτηση:Στέλιος Λιθοξοΐδης/Πρόταση διαγραφής). Another new account who contributed to the deleted article, and made a promotional addition of Lithoxoidis in his hometown article as well, was user YdroBo, whose account name is related to a local printer that has published one of Lithoxoidis books. Almost right after its deletion, user Historycw recreated the Stelios Lithoxoidis article. The same user had also created another (deleted, too, now) article related to Lithoxoidis, on a local group on creative writing called "Ομάδα Δημιουργικής Γραφής της Λέσχης Πολιτισμού Φλώρινας", founded by this novelist (see account log). Finaly, both Historycw and EleniSavv appeared in the talk page of the deleted article on Lithoxoidis trying to persuade for the need to have it recreated. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 08:10, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Reason(s): User Tfon50904 requested for a block appeal, previously being duck blocked as a sock of LTA:R1t5 (114.27). The user also made similar edits like R1t5 in zh:Template:Pns. I have high doubts that this user is not a sock, but as it was requested by local sysop and as a usual procedure of block appeals, a check would be needed. Please also compare with LTA:Xayahrainie43 just in case it was a case of X43 copying 114.27's editing patterns, which quite frequently happened before. --Luciferian Thomas 15:27, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Status: Done

List of users: Miller355 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); UIM000 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Accle (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Zack2021 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): All these accounts made similar copyvios in Atom Boyz-related pages, of which are common editing grounds for Ttaajq socks. These accounts seem to have inter-related editing patterns in articles and drafts of the same text, and some accounts also show some unexpected familiarity to local community processes such as copyvio. A check is requested along with previous groups in this recent request and this previous check where Accle was found

Possible in technical terms with Ttaajq socks. --Luciferian Thomas 14:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Sotiale, may I ask if the account Accle has any changes in the level of similarity with the group's data, i.e. still only possible or can be technically confirmed? Luciferian Thomas 11:16, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

There was not enough data to change the existing conclusion about Accle; at best, possible. --Sotiale (talk) 12:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Discussion: w:en:User talk:Setswana

Reason(s): They both created their accounts using the name of articles and they both copied content from my userpage to their user pages even though I already blocked them just want to confirm. Rebel Agent (talk) 12:42, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Botswana Gaborone is as you said, but Setswana doesn't seem to be a copy of your userpage. And how are these 2 users related? Also, what is the relevance of revealing the relationship of these users to those who have already been blocked? --Sotiale (talk) 12:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Sotiale please check my userpage here before I updated it, User “Botswana Gaborone" copied my current Userpage and User “Setswana" copied my previous Userpage.

OK, changing the question, if so, can they be unblocked based on this checkuser result? In summary, I'm asking you to explain why you need to check this. It looks like you've blocked their account for sure, and one of the reasons is an inappropriate username. I don't think their block status will change according to this result. Please explain in detail why you should check them with checkuser. --Sotiale (talk) 09:51, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I suspect them for sock with reasons above but now they are only blocked for inappropriate usernames, if they request for unblock we will ask to change their names and then they will be unblocked anytime, so this checkuser results may change their block status, for example if it happens they are related the block status will change to “Blocked for sock" but if they are not related they will remain blocked for inappropriate usernames which we just have to change their username and unblock them. The reason I need this check is to know if I have to change their block to “Blocked for sock" or not. Thanks Rebel Agent (talk) 03:36, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I understand. Thanks for your explanation. --Sotiale (talk) 03:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Possible Setswana and Botswana Gaborone

From a technical point of view. This is my personal opinion separate from checkuser result, but I don't think it's necessary to change the block reason as they are possible to be the same user and behave similarly on certain wikis. Such coincidences do not happen without a chance on the same day. --Sotiale (talk) 03:47, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay I understand, Thank you.Rebel Agent (talk) 03:58, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

CU log
Discussion: not discussed at ro.wiki, ro.wiki has no checkusers, so I have to report it here, according to ro.wiki checkusers policy

Reason(s): en:WP:DUCK: they both hate masturbation, see [7] and [8]. Both of them don't care about reliable sources and indulge in copious original research (see previous diffs and [9]). Ucenicu is now blocked temporarily for issuing legal threats. Tgeorgescu (talk) 01:43, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Erm.. WP:DUCK means you don't need to checkuser them. It means that they can be blocked without this investigation because their behavior pattern is clear, implying that a checkuser is not needed. May I ask you once again as to why they should be investigated? --Sotiale (talk) 01:54, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Sotiale: Well, they should be investigated supposing that I'm wrong about DUCK. I do not claim to know they are the same editor, I only say it's likely. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:06, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Then it's not an obvious case(=DUCK), is it? --Sotiale (talk) 02:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Sotiale: I don't have to judge that, you have to judge that. I'm not the authority, you are the authority. I only have to show good reasons for performing the check. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:32, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Tgeorgescu: I think something is not communicating well. Checkuser has some kind of restriction because it looks a certain user's personal information. So it is used when necessary. You mentioned duck, which means you have confidence in them. But when I asked you the question, it seems that you used it to mean that you have good reason to doubt them, rather than being certain about them. May I ask if I understand what you are saying? I can do investigate in this case, and it's hard to do this if you're confident about it. I'm asking you a question in order to process your request, and I don't intend to frustrate this. --Sotiale (talk) 02:40, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Sotiale: Just see the diffs for yourself (most of the sources are in English, anyway, so they don't have to be translated) and decide for yourself if a check is warranted. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:44, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

To get me to do that, could you please answer the question? --Sotiale (talk) 03:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Sotiale: The WP:DUCK argument I have provided at w:ro:Wikipedia:Reclamații and it's up to the admins of ro.wiki to judge my argumentation. Of course, I cannot be absolutely sure that they are the same editor. I cannot know if they are the same person, or two different persons who endorse the same fringe theories at about one month distance from each other, who happen to have the same lack of consideration for reliable sources and the same propensity to think that their own opinions are by definition encyclopedia-worthy. All I know is that Ucenicu is temporarily blocked and cannot right now edit ro.wiki, so if they feel the urge to edit ro.wiki, they can only do that as an IP or as a sock account.

Thank you for your reply. --Sotiale (talk) 03:50, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Unrelated Ucenicu and Pufulus

From a technical point of view. They are technically distinct users; It is unknown whether they are mobilization accounts(WP:MEAT), but it does show that they are at least unlikely to be socks. --Sotiale (talk) 03:53, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
