New user, first edit is to restore profringe edits by Johnbannan. Since Johnbannan is currently blocked, this would be block evasion. MrOllie (talk) 23:40, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

[edit]- Blocked and tagged the puppet. Increased the block of the master to indefinite and tagged. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 23:43, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Strangely, Arizbay is
Confirmed to Gaping Buhttole (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) (which is in turn confirmed to Anaflaggot (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)). 
Unlikely (almost certainly not) to Johnbannan. Clerk, please retag as you see fit. Other checkusers, please feel free to double-check my results here. --Yamla (talk) 14:03, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Yamla: There is more than just retagging involved because I increased the block length of Johnbannan to indefinite, and if they weren't socking, I need to undo that. Could you possibly check the latest account alleged to be a sock in the section below before I take any action? Frankly, I'm not sure they are connected to John either, but their edits are indeed suspicious. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Yeap, DH39 is confirmed. --Yamla (talk) 14:09, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

- I've tagged/retagged Arizbay, Gaping Buhttole, and Anaflaggot. Bbb23 (talk) 15:54, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Fwiw, the Anaflaggot is almost certainly Architect134, who engages in joe jobbing on occasion. --Blablubbs (talk) 23:30, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Blablubbs: Certainly Gaping Buhttole and Anaflaggot are precisely the kinds of usernames Architect 134 uses, although I can't see anything suspicious about the username Arizbay (maybe I'm not imaginative enough). If you're right, though, we should either tag them differently or remove the tags entirely. Yamla?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:51, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

More promotion of this fringe 'proof' of superdeterminism on a half dozen other articles. MrOllie (talk) 13:47, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

The original account said twice that Physics Essays (a journal with a reputation for indiscriminately printing fringe crankery) is "a peer-reviewed reliable source as stated by Wiki" [1][2]. The new account declares "Wiki says that Physics Essays is a reliable source" [3]. XOR'easter (talk) 01:54, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
