CU log

Reason(s): Potential vote stacking at en:q:Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Panendeism The first account edits with single purpose across multiple wikis, and the sole activity of the other two is voting with the first. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:51, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

It looks like a duck to me, but if check is still required please say so. Also, without much time currently any other steward should feel free to take this one. —Marco Aurelio 11:55, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Whether these are one person or a coordinated group from their own website probably does not matter at this point. Although a fourth name related to the site has appeared (SullivanBenjamin), there does not seem to be any continuing or spreading disruption beyond the one VFD. This can be closed until such time as further problems may develop. ~ Ningauble (talk) 12:38, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Not done then, per above. Matiia (talk) 00:09, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Discussion: ro:Wikipedia:Pagini de șters/Livia Nichifor

Reason(s): Al Balint (who may have a number of known clones that I cannot find right now) is the author of the autobiographical articles ro:Șerban Nichifor, da:Serban Nichifor and en:Șerban Nichifor. He recently created ro:Livia Nichifor and en:Livia Nichifor, the subject being his mother; the article on ro.wikipedia was proposed for deletion, the reason being lack of notability. He reacted with personal attacks (each of them replicated on two other pages) on two users ((1) and (2)) who had proposed or suported the deletion. A complaint was registered against him because of that behavior. He was warned, and after repeating the attack he was blocked. Now comes the actual CU request: the next five users mentioned (all of them but one registered after the discussion had begun) have expressed themselves against the deletion, citing the same unreliable sources as Al Balint. There is strong suspicion that they are sockpuppets, or meatpuppets, of Al Balint. -- Victor Blacus (talk) 13:56, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

The background info is somewhat superficial/imprecise. The actual request is about the listed users. Late edit. -- Victor Blacus (talk) 18:07, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

It looks like a prolific farm. Here's a fresh one:

Hiram of Tyre (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)

-- Victor Blacus (talk) 17:42, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Not fresh, but smells like Al Balint (ro:Discuție:Livia Nichifor#Adăugat Dr. Livia Nichifor: Sinteze Clinice în Pediatrie).

--Accipiter Q. Gentilis (talk) 19:58, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Al Balint, Dr Damian and Marianamar are

Confirmed to be the same user. Antal2017 is also

Possible. The second group are Hiram of Tyre, Jeannedelciu and Phorion. Mirceacristescu may be related to DavidC. Verovero13 may also be related though I am not sure. Ruslik (talk) 03:30, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

@Ruslik: appeal - the result is totally wrong! Please check users with IP addresses. My IP address is: 213.233.104.164. Thank you!--Al Balint (talk) 10:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
