Suspected sockpuppets


Cross-wiki spam; some of accounts already blocked in enwiki and ruwiki - evading blocks. See also request for checkuser in ruwiki. (And check, please, warning of John Torn on my userpage - is it correct?) OneLittleMouse (talk) 02:33, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • User is persistantly editing Sex article from my own viewing on this, the revision comment [1] should be able to validate this. Article has since been fully protected for 3 days. Edit: User also left (what I suspect to be) an invalid 3RR/Edit warring notice on my talk page, can this be supported/invalidated too? + Crashdoom Talk 13:40, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Adding a CU request. It makes practical sense for a CU. I'm not sure if the cross-wiki abuse is adequate evidence for CU though, so I'll leave it open for somebody else to decide. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 06:26, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abuse of multiple accounts on enwiki is still valid even if global abuse has occured. Endrosing on that point, depending on NFs look on the accounts for the crosswiki abuse. These users have an interesting way of spamming, on the userpage, but it's still abuse on enwiki if they are socks. Note:
  •  Clerk endorsed
  •  Clerk declined
  •  Stale

  • Technical evidence  Confirmed that these are all operated by the same individual, excepting OpenIDUser745 who I can only call a  Likely sock. AGK [•] 23:30, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The endorsed lot above is blocked. Leaving it at that. -- DQ (t) (e) 21:02, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
