Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:24, 3 April 2006

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This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.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to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived).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>

SlashDot (talk · contribs) and Karaveks voice (talk · contribs)

They are working in tandem to keep unsourced images in the Hentai article. Despite several editors telling to them to stop, they seem to take turns making the reversions so they don't violate WP:3RR. 日本穣 20:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• Please post diffs of alleged behavior. Mackensen (talk) 21:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I should note that until they came along, the images in this diff were accepted by all the participating editors as acceptable for the article. The editors who have been helpful in trying to stem this spate of edits (either by reverting these two editors' edits, or by commenting on this the use of unecessary explicit images on the page) include Makemi, Offkilter and Ned Scott. Feel free to contact them if you wish.
  • Here's a list of the diffs for these two editors' changes:

      • Inconclusive. By the by, SlashDot seems to be uploading copyrighted pornography (and it isn't even good pornography). --Mackensen (talk) 15:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Well, thanks for checking. The way they were working together, and the fact that both were brand new, seemed to indicate something. Karaveks voice even issued a challenge, basically saying that I wouldn't be able to prove sock puppetry. I'll take a look at SlashDot's contribs and mark any unsourced pics as appropriate. Thanks again. (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 17:40, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Believed to be the original username of the Matt Leinart Vandal, with a growing list of socks. I would simply like to make sure that the IPs of users are the same as the anonymous IPs tracing to Georgetown University to provide verification that it's one vandal. T K E 09:33, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Could you provide a list of these anonymous IP addresses, as well as a summary of the situation? We are not in the habit of revealing the IP addresses used by contributors unless there is definate proof of serious policy violation. Essjay 21:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The article has been vandalized well over a hundred times with the same claim that Matt Leinart is gay . The only verification that has come from the vandal(s) is a random blog , an ambiguous ESPN article , and a fake blog news article . The vandalism has been recurring for over two months; the page has been protected at least 4 times because of the vandal. This IP is the most prolific, followed in no order by 141.161.12.151, 141.161.12.65, 141.161.12.188 and 141.161.92.134. Additionally, Comcast Cable IPs have been rotating, usually 68.something or other, or 67. My suspicion is one user editing at school and home. The point of the checkuser is to affirm one vandal, as that would make warnings and admin notices much easier after such long term abuse. I would like to be clear: I am looking for no personal information, simply that the registered users are coming from a similar IP to the ones mentioned. A "Similar" or "Dissimilar" will suffice.

High Elf (talk · contribs)

Clearly somebody's sockpuppet as demonstrated by his familiar with Misplaced Pages, but few "contributions". I believe it is Bomac (talk · contribs · block log), as he reverts in edit wars in which Bomac has participated, e.g. Template:EU countries and candidates (history). He also adds interwiki links on articles which Bomac (he is know as Boyan on the mk Misplaced Pages - check the e-mail addresses on both User:Bomac and mk:User:Boyan) has done the same over at mk, for example, here is Bomac/Boyan adding interwiki links at an article over at mk and then High Elf appears and adds the interwikis over here using the same edit summary as Bomac is known to use, eg , and . The same coincidence, with High Elf adding interwikis which Bomac had added over at mk happens every time: , and . If it is a sockpuppet, please ban it as it has been double voting on the same RFA and . 13:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Annalina (talk · contribs) and Curettage (talk · contribs)

As mentioned at AN/I this section, Pro-Lick (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), having caused a lot of trouble at the abortion article, is now using sockpuppets. An earlier checkuser revealed that Halliburton_Shill (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Cry_Me_a_Shill (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and Vote_Machine_Malfunction (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) were the same user as Pro-Lick. There was also technical evidence linking them to Undermined (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Ban.wma (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).

At the time of the earlier request, Curettage (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) had not edited, and so was not included in the check, but from the edits, and even the name, it was obviously the same person.

Pro-Lick recently linked to his blog. There, he calls on people to come to Misplaced Pages and change the Abortion definition to things like "Abortion liberates the uterus" and "Abortion is fertilization for flowers." Then, a new editor Annalina (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) appeared and began to make those edits. And there was a similar edit from 64.42.88.22 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). An investigation would be appreciated. Many thanks. AnnH ♫ 01:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Rick Browser (talk · contribs)

I think it would be in the best interest that I restate my request. I admit, my original stating of the facts was a bit vague- it was certainly lacking in essential details.

For the past half a year, I have been stalked by an indefinitely banned user who originally went by the name Brazil4Linux. He wikistalked me and my friends, vandalized my userpage (and theirs too) repeatedly and viciously ], ], ] insulted me repeatedly using his sockpuppets of BreakingRules, GroundZero, ForeverWatch and others ] and interjected into any possible conflicts that might arise; and finally, somehow he managed to find out my WIFE'S NAME and created derogatory harassing sockpuppets ], ], using the aforementioned name .

Which brings us to the present week. There was a disagreement regarding the ESRB article between me and Pagrashtak- and we each created one edit. All at once, however, my instant message box began to flood with harassing links to a "ha ha" website, one that bore the label "No ESRB on Misplaced Pages" and crashed my computer, causing me to lose over an hour's worth of work. I assumed that it was Pagtarak (an error on my part), and I admit that I wasn't tactful in the next couple edits. Feeling desperate, I even went so far as to erase my userpage.

However after calming down, I felt that I needed to resolve this conflict, I contacted Pagrashtak about the IMs. To my surprise, he had no knowledge or involvement in them at all, which led me to suspect that B4L was the one responsible. I apologized via email to Pagrashtak, and almost immediately after, Rick Browser begins to push into the argument, applying some rather vicious labels towards me ] (and at the exact same time, IP addresses that trace back to Brazil4Linux begin to post gloating messages on my friend's pages, bragging about me leaving)], ].

Look, I know that users are entitled to privacy and respect. But I feel that have the right to know if Rick Browser is another Brazil4Linux sockpuppet. Given the above facts, I believe I have stated my case appropriately. Brazil4Linux uses DialUOL and Veloxzone addresses that end with the .br suffix.

If after reading this, you still feel that my request is inappropriate, then I can do nothing more. Cheers, Daniel Davis 01:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Declined requests

User:Crusading composer User:Count Of The Saxon Shore and User:Bakewell Tart

These one, two or three users have been accused of sockpuppetry and using different accounts to stalk, vandalise harass etc. Could you please determine if all or any of these are related to each other? Thanks.Gator (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

No need to check if Crusading composer is Count Of The Saxon Shore. We know he is; there's no mystery about it. . However, it would be nice to have it established once and for all whether or not there is a link between the two, as User:Robsteadman keeps insisting that they are, and keeps insisting that there's a cabal. AnnH ♫ 23:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

If it speeds up the process - check the requests to change usernmae logs. Crusading composer became Count.... last week. So I should imagine that these 'two' editors might share the same ISPs - one a home ISP, and a few work ISPs. However, unless I am a schizophrenic with a memory disorder, I doubt that any of these ISPs will match Bakewll Tart's ISPs. Good luck!Count Of The Saxon Shore 00:32, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Mind you, reading the box above, what reason is there for the request? It doesn't specifically mention harrassment or stalking. Shouldn't there have been a request for these to be investigated first? I'm pretty sure that there is no genuine reason for this request to be logged = other than to end the complaints of Mr Steadman, but since he seems to have retracted his accusation, this request is a bit moot. But don't mind me, look it up, I don't mind.Count Of The Saxon Shore 00:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it's not a usual request. There's no voting going on, and there's no suspicion of 3RR violation. It's really because User:Robsteadman has been going on and on and on about the cabal and calling for other editors to be banned, and making generally unfounded accusations. It would be great if we could put a stop to it, and Count Of The Saxon Shore says he doesn't mind being checked. AnnH ♫ 07:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Rather than running a checkuser, just block the disruptive editor. I don't see a case for a checkuser, and without the permission of both parties, I'm not inclined to run one. Essjay 16:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't ask for a checkuser, I was aware of the name change and I am tired of the stalking that Count Of The Saxon Shore in his previous incarnation on here and as other names on a different internet forum has been using to stalk and harass me. What I said is that there is a "link" with User: Bakewell Tart - I didn't say they were the same person.... both the Bakewell Tart account and the Crusading COmposer account were set up for the sole purpose of stalking me - hence their names 9 I work in Bakewell and I am a composer who often uses music for campaigning purposes. Both accounts should be removed if there is any justice - although Crusading Composer has attempteed to disguise the fact he is a single issue editor it is clear, from a look at his edit hostory, that this is the primary purpose. Bakewell Tart's edit history is even clearer. Surely WP should get rid of stalkers and abusers? I would be interested to know if there is any link with User:Njd123 and User:Kotuku - boith similarly single issue editors. Robsteadman 17:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

204.56.7.1 and Reddi

Any chance of User:204.56.7.1 against User:Reddi? Reddi is arbcomm-limited, and 204 edits much like Reddi and is potentially skirting those restrictions. William M. Connolley 21:48, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
