Report date December 8 2009, 20:09 (UTC)[edit]
Suspected sockpuppets [edit]


Evidence submitted by Kusma [edit]

All the IPs and usernames behave the same way as community-banned User:Sheynhertz-Unbayg (and Barbara Staudinger admits to be him and complains about my reverts of SU socks). They have all been blocked by me during the last 2 days. The original ban discussion is here. The cleanup project that explains what to do with his edits is Wikipedia:SU (it is inactive now, but was a large-scale effort after his ban). I don't know of any way to deal with Sheynhertz other than large-scale rangeblocks. Three years ago, I blocked all of these ranges: User:Kusma/Sheynhertz. On what ranges is Sheynhertz now? Can these ranges be blocked? Does anybody else use these ranges? How many socks are there that I missed? — Kusma talk 20:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked ja:User:Los688, who just blocked some of Sheynhertz-Unbayg's sockpuppets on the Japanese Wikipedia, to comment on the situation. (Sheynhertz-Unbayg is Japanese and is also banned from the Japanese Wikipedia). — Kusma talk 16:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately Japanese Wikipedians don't really seem to know what to do, either: Los668's reply. — Kusma talk 17:56, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets [edit]


Evidence submitted by HerkusMonte [edit]

the IP, like S-U and his socks located at Tokyo, appeared at Nikolaus von Üxküll-Gyllenband and added some categories as usually used by S-U. After a revert User:Rundmann came up and restored the IP edits. Rundmann is a newly created account and both the IP and Rundmann use a similar way to categorize articles (19th century people, X expatriates in Y, People of Y descent).

  • Sad, really, that it is still impossible to talk to him if that involves any degree of criticism. Actually, I had hoped that somebody could talk to him sanely and make him keep to one permitted account. I don't think he'll listen to me, though, even though I wouldn't mind seeing him unblocked if he manages to agree to some kind of mentorship -- and finds a mentor.

A note: Just blocking the accounts without actually deleting / reverting the edits / cleaning up the pages does not achieve anything useful.

(Non-administrator comment) Is this appropriate? Has Elockid's request for a collateral damage check been fulfilled? – Ajltalk 04:11, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Thanks for bring this to attention, Ajl772. :) After doing a bit of digging around, it seems that all Elockid's blocks were anon only, so they shouldn't effect logged in users. Users wishing to create accounts from those ranges can do so via ACC, which is suggested in Elockid's block summaries. Therefore there's no need for a CU to check for collateral, as the only collateral effect that any of the blocks will have will be on anons trying to edit from the ranges, and they can go through ACC. There also doesn't seem to be a lot of legitimate editors on those ranges, just from briefly looking at edits from a few of them. (PS: just as a short closing statement, all the ranges above have been blocked (except from 114.180.228.0/19, which is pretty much redundant to 114.180.0.0/19)). Kind regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 07:49, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The point of a collateral damage check was (I think) to move back to a hardblock, as was done several times before (see the archives). In previous years (the problem goes back to 2006), SU used to do most of his account creation on jawiki, so softblocks here did no good.
Anyway, if we can't get a collateral damage check done, I guess the best thing to do is just wait and see if he starts editing again (my usual checks for his activity have been negative for the last couple of days) and then just hardblock all the currently-softblocked ranges (we'll see the collateral damage as unblock requests then, if there is any). It is just awfully stupid work, and without checkuser assistance, it is a bit like stabbing in the dark, and I'm rather tired of this user after more than 4 years of this. —Кузьма討論 08:21, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A CU was preformed after the soft blocks were placed to catch sleepers on those ranges, so unless he does create the accounts on a different wiki then we shouldn't see any issues for a while now. In the event that he does that, I suggest getting in touch with a steward. I'm also sure that if you refiled an SPI (or quick SPI) after continued disruption then a CU would be more than happy to look into the possibility of a hard block.

  • Can't something be done to prevent more damage via edit filters instead of SPIs after the damage?

  • It is clear that this is Sheynhertz. I have blocked 121.117.160.0/19 for 3 months, and expect to hit only him. Also added another 2 usernames.
  • I would love to see a better approach than just rangeblocks and mass reverts/deletions (blocking without deletion has no effect on him, he abandons his account after a few days anyway). No matter how much he insults me, if anybody manages to talk him into editing collaboratively, at a reasonable rate and without making huge amounts of work for or requests for work of others, I wouldn't even mind seeing him unbanned. —Кузьма討論 19:55, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More of the same. Already blocked and tagged, but need a CU for a sleeper check and if possible an IP block. I would also appreciate if a CU could do a nice, full sweep on the ranges listed at User:Elockid/Notes (IP ranges)#Long-term socker 1. The symbol (N) means not blocked yet. M.Magruc managed to circumvent detection last check and this account, Steinhand (talk · contribs) circumvented numerous checks and was only found when I asked a CU if I could hardblock 2 of the ranges they have been to be using.

An old account that has sprung to life in the past couple of days. Creating and working on disambiguation pages, quack. Working on Jewish pages, quack. Bgwhite (talk) 06:30, 6 October 2011 (UTC) Bgwhite (talk) 06:30, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An older account that's working in the same areas that Sheynhertz-Unbayg was known to work in. WP:DUCK may apply here. However, since the account's contributions are largely positive, I don't want to unduly assume bad faith. Nonetheless, it's something worth investigating. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 15:16, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The bulk of user's edits appear to be reverting rollbacks of User:Shalshelet's changes.

Examples:

 Looks like a duck to me. Given the number of recently-blocked socks, I think it's time to see if there are even more of them. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 01:19, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone to me. I can't think of many reasons why a new user would spend all of their time only reverting reversions of a banned user. I've tagged the new pages they created to replace the ones previously deleted under G5. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 01:34, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Both brought to my attention by User:Dougweller. WP:DUCK (new editor, Jewish-German surnames, redirects), likely linked to the (now archived) 11 June 2012 sock report. – sgeureka t•c 15:14, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another potential SU sock, based on behavioral evidence. Worth at least checking up on. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 01:48, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: it's definitely Sheynhertz-Unbayg based on behavior alone. Should also check for sleepers. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 01:52, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See typical behaviors at long-term abuse case. Only two edits are to a page within their usual topic range and SU's LTA page. The address also geolocates to Japan (again, see the LTA case). Requesting checkuser as it may also be useful to check for sleepers. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 02:04, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
