Checking user Uusijani

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Could anybody check the user Uusijani? Seems that this is a vandalist who creates empty user pages in many Wikipedias and the only contents of those user pages is a long list of interwikis. See e.g. Upper Sorbian Wikipedia and Lower Sorbian Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. --Michawiki 23:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Er, just because they create their own userpage with interwikis doesn't mean they're vandalizing, many users do that (I just randomly encountered this, don't usually follow this page). -- Mentifisto 09:22, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure I see the rationale either. Are there actual problematic edits? Is there another user or users that is/are suspected of being a disruptive sock? ++Lar: t/c 00:58, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Agreed with above.  Declined --FiliP ██ 21:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Dealing@ko.wikipedia

The following discussion is closed.

Several users have continuously damaged Pokemon-related articles. First vandal was on September 9th, 2009, and vandal is still in progress.

ko.wikipedians want to know who he/she is and from where he/she's doing the disturbance. If you can understand Korean, see this ko.wikipeia sockpuppet investigation page.

Suspected sockpuppets are those:

Administrators have blocked them, but then, new id appears and continues the vandalism on articles.

If you can, please let me know which ip(or ip range) they are sharing. Then our administrators can block it.

We got a clue ip which is 119.70.40.101 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser).

Request in my talk page

Olá Alex!

Como na última vez que precisei dos serviços de checkuser foi você que me atendeu, venho fazer o pedido aqui na sua página. Se isso for contra a etiqueta, pode me dizer que eu faço o pedido pelas vias normais.

Pois bem, há um mês e meio eu precisei dos serviços de checkuser para combater um vândalo insistente que assola o pt.wiktionary e agora preciso novamente de sua ajuda para cercear a mesma figurinha difícil. Ele criou várias contas ultimamente e tem feito apenas edições "corretas" com elas, mas a comunidade o baniu para sempre, portanto eu gostaria de bloquear essas novas aparições dele. O problema é que não tenho certeza quais são os fantoches dele atualmente. Alguns que eu suspeito são:

Outros que podem ser fantoches dele são:

Se você puder procurar por outros que tenham se inscrito nos últimos trinta dias, isso seria sensacional.

Obrigado por sua ajuda na luta contra essa pestilência.

The following discussion is closed.

fa:user:Behtis is recently banned for 60 days. A new user fa:user:Achtundachtzig seems to be too experienced for someone new to wikipedia and has some of Behtis editing patterns. Can you just check whether he is the sockpuppet of a banned user? As you know, if he is a sockpuppet, please only confirm it, if and only if the master account is currently banned.

Unlikely Unlikely they are related. They are from the same country but that's about it. It's possible that its a very clever sockmaster but I don't think so. If the edits are problematic in their own right, block on behavior. ++Lar: t/c 22:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

John Peters@dawiki

The following discussion is closed.

The new user Gorm76 (created today) account seems to defend the expelled user John Peters aggresively. It is clear that Gorm76 is not at all new to the project (for example, he knows how long a certain user was administrator - unlikely for a brand new user). John Peters is known to have many sock puppets at many wikis (he's pretty open about this at Commons with Nick Anfinsen) and he had (or has) a few at enwiki. Unfortunately, dawiki has no CheckUsers anymore (since two days ago). Nillerdk 19:20, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

"名探偵コナンは非常に幼稚だ." means "Detective Conan(English title is Case closed, Meitantei Conan) is extremely immature." in Japanese. 59.5.239.182 15:23, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Българиец, Четника, Ариеца, Антиантифа @ bg.w

The following discussion is closed.

Can you please check for coincidence between these four accounts. They were registered, respectively, on 27 November (Ариеца) and 2 December (the rest). Apart of this, there is a semantic proximity of the nicknames (Антиантифа = "Anti-Antifa", Ариеца = the "Aryan", Българиец = mix between "Bulgarian" and "Aryan") and a consequent participation in a petition for less than 7 minutes altogether, which would compromise the outcome of the voting in case of sockpuppetry. Thank you in advance. Spiritia 01:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

So, is it possible to have a checkuser reply to this request, please? Spiritia 09:20, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Poursaeed@fa.wiki

The following discussion is closed.

Hi, I am sysop on Farsi (Persian) Wikipedia. I blocked User:Poursaeed for edit-warring, violation of 3rr, WP:BLP and copy right laws on this article. There are users that continue editing the article. All of them are not old account their edit patterns are very similar. Could you please run a CU for these users? All of them can be the sock of the first user to evade the sanction and evade 3rr. Actually the first three users had done edit warring even before I blocked User:Poursaeed. Could you please run CU ASAP because the article they are editing is about a recent event and there are hot debates over this article?--Behzad.Modares 19:14, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

*khi người ta trẻ*@vi.wikipedia

The following discussion is closed.

Please check them if they were a same user. *khi người ta trẻ* is requesting for being an administrator, and other sysops don't approved him, Quick and snowshow always defend him and vote for him. These account seem to be sock because they had same ways in talking, same typing error, for proofs by an Anonymity user see here, it is too long to post it here. BotImageUploader 01:49, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Two issues: 1) Please explain how this requires checkuser, per one of the reasons given at the top of the page, since we're only dealing with one potential sock, and 2) While the link is interesting, we have no stewards capable of reading Vietnamese to my knowledge. Is there a translation? Kylu 01:54, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
  • Quick and snowshow opened account on 28 September 2009 [1], after two minutes he knew how to use welcome template for new user[2]. On October 1, he said that he left Wikipedia without a reason [3]

Same way in talking :

  • Both Quick and snowshow 5 and *khi người ta trẻ* [4][5] always use "t" in talking.
    • Said "Ok" at end of message with meaningless, Quick and snowshow [6], [7], [8], [9] and *khi người ta trẻ* [10], [11] (he used dot without a space then Ok)
    • Use f instead of ph Quick and snowshow [12] and *khi người ta trẻ* [13], [14], [15]
  • At the time *khi người ta trẻ* request himself for administrator, after one day Quick and snowshow is the first people to vote him (this is the main reason I want to check him) [16].
  • Quick and snowshow always defend *khi người ta trẻ*. special at Lê Hiếu [17].
  • Both *khi người ta trẻ* and Quick and snowshow had same interesting in geographic and filming, special in Thanh Hóa related article.
    • Quick and snowshow and *khi người ta trẻ* always online and offline at the same time. [18], [19]
  • Both user had same typing error when did not preserve a space after a semi-colon, special in talking. *khi người ta trẻ* [20], [21] and Quick [22], [23]
Good research.  It looks like a duck to me: that is, both users have similarities enough that checkuser sounds to be pointless. Are there local policies in place that prohibit these behaviors (other than vote-stacking)? Kylu 02:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
OK, do you mean that you confirm *khi người ta trẻ* and Quick and snowshow are same people without Checkuser ? Vietnamese Wikipedia does allow one people can have more than one account, but does not allow one people use multiply account in vote-stacking (see vi:Wikipedia:Tài khoản con rối), we need to know that if Quick and snowshow and *khi người ta trẻ* was same people, the requestment for adminship will be disrupted, like en:user:law in English wikipedia. BotImageUploader 03:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
If the evidence given by the anonymous user is correct, it'd certainly persuade me that I wouldn't need to bother with a checkuser. If the people on your project decide that they don't want to give this person admin rights because of the similarity, that's certainly their right. Kylu 04:07, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 Confirmed User edits from one account, then the other, then back again on the same IP address, on the same day, with no other users on that project using that IP address. The user "Chicken baby" is the same person, it seems. Data submitted to checkuser list in the event of dispute. Kylu 04:19, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you Kylu. BotImageUploader 04:45, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Please wait! The checkuser can only believe, if this is the result of many on the same IP for two accounts (But Kylu not say the same this is happening in many days). Chicken baby still the case, Kylu use the word "appears as" ( "it seems"), if only "seems" not enough arguments provided link. --minhhuy*= 03:46, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
The checkuser data is on record for checkusers and stewards to review. Feel free to request a second opinion. The "it seems" only applies to Chicken baby, however. Kylu 04:34, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
OK OK --minhhuy*= 13:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Sdee@zh.wikipedia

The following discussion is closed.

I suspect those two accounts are the same person because:

  1. w:zh:user:Akimotokenta made grammar mistakes to the article w:zh:何思謙(see [24]). I reverted that but later w:zh:user:Sdee brought back the grammar-mistake version and wrote the summary as "user:Akimotokenta 編輯合理,無需回退。" (Translation: "user:Akimotokenta's version is reasonable, so no need to revert.")(see [25]). Next I reverted that again.
  2. Akimotokenta added speedy deletion template to the article w:zh:吳國昌(see [26]), but it is clear that the article does not match zh.wikipedia's Criteria For Speedy Deletion, so w:zh:user:An Macanese reverted that. However, Sdee later added back the speedy deletion template and wrote the summary as "該用戶提出不嘗不是道理..."(Translation: "That user(Akimotokenta)'s request is not unreasonable...")(see [27]). Finally I reverted that again.
  3. In "Did you know?" nomination of zh.wikipedia, Akimotokenta voted a "support" to Sdee's nomination. (see [28], Akimotokenta voted {{支持}}(which means "support") to the nomination "澳門歷史城區哪座建築物曾是明朝時宣讀政府命令的場所?(擴建條目;澳門政權移交10週年系列條目)—TINHO 2009年11月7日 (六) 09:37 (UTC) ", in which "TINHO" is the signature of Sdee here)

For the above reasons, I suspect that user:Sdee, by utilizing user:Akimotokenta, made vandals to the articles and is supporting himself in his nomination. Please check ASAP as the nomination will end tomorrow, thanks very much. --CDIP No.150 repair meter 09:05, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
