"Assume good faith" sockpuppets[edit]

Wikipedia talk:Assume good faith is being vandalized by aged sleeper sockpuppets. There have been five so far, all created nearly simultaneously at 10:03–10:05 on January 27:

  • 10:05, 27 January 2006 Deuce of Hearts (New user (Talk | contribs | block))
  • 10:04, 27 January 2006 Bvlgarian (New user (Talk | contribs | block))
  • 10:04, 27 January 2006 Pokezon (New user (Talk | contribs | block)) (legit user)
  • 10:04, 27 January 2006 AllYourBase (New user (Talk | contribs | block))
  • 10:03, 27 January 2006 Taurus11 (New user (Talk | contribs | block))
  • 10:03, 27 January 2006 Booster144 (New user (Talk | contribs | block))

So there may be more in this batch... perhaps we can discover them and block them in advance. -- Curps 06:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some accounts in the second batch of WP:AGF socks include:
If someone with CheckUser privileges could perform a lookup to see when and where these were created and block the remaining sleeper accounts it would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Hall Monitor 23:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All of these were created around the same timeframe as the earlier ones:
  • 10:07, 27 January 2006 I like Goatse (New user (Talk | contribs | block))
  • 10:05, 27 January 2006 OneOverTheBow (New user (Talk | contribs | block))
  • 10:05, 27 January 2006 Slapphappy (New user (Talk | contribs | block))
It would be nice to identify any further sleepers and block them ahead of time. -- Curps 00:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please review the page history of WT:AGF for a thorough and up-to-date list. Hall Monitor 00:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going through and blocking ones I find right now. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 14:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All those are now blocked, including the IP address they all used (probably an open proxy). —Matthew Brown (T:C) 14:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
