81.101.15.25

Hello, Berean Hunter. Last month you blocked this IP address after I reported it at ANI. I'm starting to think that the person behind the IP may be evading the block as 86.153.51.16.

The IP that is currently blocked briefly edited as 2a00:23c6:5496:8800:e511:94b3:1350:8afa (the behavioural similarities make it obvious), while ...51.16 has also edited as 81.96.78.16 (likewise). Both ...8afa and ...78.16 have edited the article Stephen La Rivière. What makes me a bit more suspicious is that when they last reverted me, ...51.16 restored edits that ...8afa made weeks ago at the start of July.

There is a pattern to the IPs in that they repeatedly make changes to articles based on WP:OR interpretations, whether it's switching people's nationalities or deleting/changing sourced content and adding worse-sourced/OR alternatives, e.g. here and here. It's disruptive but I'm not sure what to do about it.

Do you agree that these addresses could be linked, or am I barking up the wrong tree? SuperMarioMan (Talk) 23:48, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SuperMarioMan, it isn't clear to me if they are linked but I've semi-protected the article for 2 weeks so the issues concerning the sources could be addressed on the talk page and see if the IP editor engages in some communication instead of just reverting.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 08:15, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated. Thank you. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 21:42, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Berean Hunter. Straight off their block 81.101.15.25 is again running amok. Please could they be re-blocked for a longer period? SuperMarioMan (Talk) 20:34, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SuperMarioMan, blocked 3 months.

Sleeper Check for UAK

@Berean Hunter and Ivanvector: Hello. Can you please run a sleeper check on 190.193.224.0/19 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · block user · block log)? The "UnderArmourKid" LTA has been vandalizing again within the past month, and I have a very strong hunch that the CU tool should be able to pick up recent activity on this range (even if it is just IP socking). Given the behavior and the breaks between vandalism on this range, I believe that he is still using this range at this time. The range should receive a multi-month block if he has been abusing it recently. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 21:04, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you have accounts then you could request a checkuser in an SPI case. Any IPs should be filed in a case for behavioral consideration.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 07:51, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've opened up a new SPI case at this LTA's SPI page. I've listed every single account I could find dating back to May 2020. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 19:33, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hotline

Hey, please always disable email--User:TwelvePerson just sent me some weird stuff. I think he's into doing things with horses? Drmies (talk) 19:17, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, these days, I request global locks via the checkuser email list which is what you should do with this account and any others that you find. Last year when I blocked that account, he had not been abusing email to my knowledge so I didn't block that. I'll send you an email with a bit more about this.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 11:52, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Thx! Drmies (talk) 13:02, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting 2600:6C56:7800:4180:70BD:AE4A:5614:B87A

2600:6C56:7800:4180:70BD:AE4A:5614:B87A (talk · contribs)

Back in January of this year, I have reported the editor who is making unconstructive edits without explaining why, and you blocked him for six months. It's seems the editor is back again and continue to make questionable edits in articles just as before [1] [2] [3] [4]. I don't know if this editor from the /64 range, but the edits looks kinda similar and they are mostly in hip hop-related articles. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 04:25, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TheAmazingPeanuts, blocked.

Special:Contributions/36.77.93.87

Thank you; there seems to be a cluster of new South Sumatra, Palembang IPs on both the Bangalore and Ford Motor Company RMs, exhibiting same style. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:21, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Links?
— Berean Hunter (talk) 09:37, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bangalore:

Thanks In ictu oculi (talk) 12:03, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Okay In ictu oculi, I have blocked several ranges of the sockmaster from Indonesia and struck some of their !votes and placed a couple of protections. The first diff that you give above is from Florida and unrelated to that sockmaster but it is from someone else who is socking (the now-blocked yo-yo below).

Talk:Ford Motor Company

How dare you protect a talk page when there is a move discussion in progress! 35.141.137.229 (talk) 13:12, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was easy with all the IP socking going on. How did things work out for you?

IP Block

Hi, Could you please give me details on why @AlbaClara08 92.184.96.0/19 was blocked? thanks! Tanyasingh (talk) 12:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tanyasingh, is the account yours? Pursuant to the checkuser and privacy policies, checkusers do not discuss IP addresses that may belong to someone else and because of the same policies, we do not disclose details on checkuser blocks other than to say that the range has been used abusively and has been blocked to prevent further abuse.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 19:24, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see! No, it is not my account.. But since the person who the account belongs to has been blocked, could you please let me know how can they reach you to discuss this? Tanyasingh (talk) 13:58, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see, that range is anon-blocked which means that someone with an account may still edit. Tell her to use her account...not the new one she just tried to make but the one that she used last November and January.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 14:23, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, are you familiar with our Conflict of Interest Policy? It applies to you and her and several others that you are editing with.

Technical question

Thanks for finding the sockmaster at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mingling2. Is it true that the only reason you found them was because they made a recent edit to their talk page? And if they didn't make that unblock request you wouldn't have found them? If so, is it possible for there to be more sleepers? VR _talk 13:42, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome, Vice regent. The answers are yes, yes and possible but not apparent. I looked at behavior of different accounts in their ranges but didn't see any other than previously blocked socks and the ones that I confirmed. It may be possible that he has socks on other ranges but that would not be apparent to any checkuser looking at the case so if you are asking whether it would be worthwhile for another check right now, I would say no. I would say that with all of that time from the last reported socks on the older case, to the first on the current case, he likely has sleepers that will surface with time.

Protection of Sexual slavery in Islam

G'day

thanks for your attention to Sexual slavery in Islam. You commented Persistent sock puppetry... can you elaborate? Andrewa (talk) 23:31, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can! For the past two months or so I've been filing SPI after SPI against users socking the page. user:Balolay, User:Koreangauteng, user:Epelerenon, user:Mingling2 and user:Episcopa are all sock puppets who have participated at Talk:Sexual slavery in Islam. The last one even voted in the RM that was recently closed (at the time the RM was closed they were not confirmed to be a sockpuppet).

An unfortunate consequence of this protection is that an IP who has been active in discussing the article since before me, now can no longer discuss and indicated this at Andrewa's talk page.VR _talk 00:13, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Curiouser and curiouser. If it comes to any further formal closure I am sure that the closing admin will be able to consider that IP's arguments. So it's not too bad. Andrewa (talk) 03:50, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lizzo image

Hello. I see that you have blocked 24.101.191.92 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). You may also be interested in WP:ANI#Irrelevant image. Certes (talk) 12:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I had noticed the image addition.

Sockpuppet Investigation

Concerning the sockpuppet investigation, what exactly are you talking about? I don't recall any of this and you're mentioning something about there being more than just the same IP addresses. This all seems very convoluted to me.Astrohoundy (talk) 01:00, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That page says I can respond in that section, so I don't see why I can't. I'm responding in that section. Either state that I can't respond in that section, or let me respond, but don't say I can comment in a section and then revert the edit. Astrohoundy (talk) 01:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you touch it, I'll be reinstating a block for disruptive editing. It is an archive from 2013. Only SPI clerks and checkusers edit archives and only to a limited degree. You and your sock account or meatpuppet were what that case is about.
