While checking out an unblock request these users came out as connected, but I'm not sure exactly what's going on, so I'd like some completely fresh eyes to take a look. My feeling is that we've got some good hand/bad hand stuff going on. jpgordon::==( o ) 02:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit]- Clerk endorsed - Yeah, let's see what's up. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:48, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Going to try to be as detailed as possible here, as this will likely be disputed as many good hand/bad hand cases are. This is Confirmed. All accounts share a single IP address (GoldenGlory84 has another IP that doesn't appear related), and all share the same useragent on that IP address. This particular IP address is part of a range that I know is generally extremely dynamic; it's part of a /13 range, the type that usually frustrates Checkusers to no end. However, these accounts have been on this IP address as far back as checkuser records go, which indicates a router that is permanently connected to the ISP. Therefore, there is no way that this IP address could have been used by another person that happened to have an identical computer in the meantime - all five accounts are being run by the same person. For this reason, I am now (re)blocking all accounts indefinitely for sockpuppetry, and I will be removing GoldenGlory84's rollback flag as well. Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Everyone's blocked, so we're good for now. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 03:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oh! Take a look at Ultrablastic123's block log. Wiki brah again? Oy. --jpgordon::==( o ) 03:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Just to point out, that CU came back inconclusive, but I called it based on behavior. If you want to merge this case into Wiki brah, that's an option.. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:17, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit]This is really JarlaxleArtemis. His antisemitic comments are a giveaway. --Bsadowski1 11:12, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- Completed: I agree with Bsadowski, these are JarlaxleArtemis. Given that one of the two IPs are proxies there is really no way to technically confirm they are one in the same, but the editing patterns are a dead give away. Either way, IP blocked.

We were checking at the same time, Tiptoety. You listed some, but there were fifty more. See my block log. Courcelles 18:06, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- I believe this entire farm is Confirmed as GoldenGlory84. Courcelles 18:09, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hm, looks like I missed a bunch. Either way, the IP they were editing behind appears to be a proxy, as such: IP blocked. Tiptoety talk 18:14, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- Clerk note: This one seems to have been closed a bit prematurely, but I've moved the case and updated all the tags to show GoldenGlory as the master per the findings. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 03:28, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

"Does an isp block, block all of your connection to the internet, your connection Wikipedia, or just your connection to...anything else in particular?--GoldenGlory84 (talk) 01:49, 19 July 2011 (UTC)" [2] Chzz ► 20:06, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- Given the fact that socking is obvious, is a CheckUser appropriate to find more socks, or would that be considered fishing? Nyttend (talk) 21:01, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- Of course it's not fishing. This is a classic "create as many accounts as possible in one session" thing; kill 'em before they multiply. --jpgordon::==( o ) 21:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- Indeed; and I have a fair amount of suspicion that it'll join up to a banned user. Chzz ► 21:55, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

- Blocked by Soap, and then block hardened by Kuru. I tagged this sock because it's rather obvious. I'd like to have CheckUser to find sleepers and decide if this is just another incarnation of you-know-who.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:13, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Posted on the talkpage a link to what I'm guessing is a shock site. Same link was tied to the signature of a proven sockpuppet of GoldenGlory84. Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 00:38, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

- CU won't link him to an IP address. If you think it's obvious enough just report to WP:AIV.--Jasper Deng (talk) 00:48, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'm looking at the appeal against blocking that was posted by the IP address. I can't see the link you mean - they posted a link to a game on someone's talk page, and all their edits have been connected to the game Cut the Rope. Was this the thing you thought was a shock site? Secretlondon (talk) 02:31, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Clearly connected to the Om Nom group of accounts by behaviour, and they are not useful contributors. I'm not seeing the behavioural connection to GoldenGlory though. The IP address is only blocked for a week. Secretlondon (talk) 02:39, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

This sockmaster is known for making socks with usernames like this. I can't see the revdeleted edits but they're probably consistent with GoldenGlory84, as seen on similar edits on Meta. Most importantly those edits self-declared that this is a new sock of someone. Jasper Deng (talk) 00:46, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit]- The new account is editing through a proxy, so there is no way to draw a conclusion. However, it's pretty irrelevant given that GoldenGlory84 was blocked a year ago, so there are no fresh IPs to review. Risker (talk) 01:40, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
