Reason(s): This user with the 2 IPs have similar editing habits to the article "Republic of China" in zh.wiki. They are currently invloved in an edit war with other users in this article, which may violate the 3RR rule (and sockpuppeting?) if they are the same user. Therefore, I would like to check if these users are related. Thank you. Altt311 07:26, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
    •  Confirmed At least one of the two IPs listed is うちはイタチ. Which one is irrelevant and unlisted for now for the user's protection, but if both are being used together with うちはイタチ to editwar, that would be a violation. -- Avi 07:35, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Is checkuser really needed here? If they're repeatedly inserting copyvios violating the policies I would block on behaviour. What do other stewards think? --dferg ☎ talk 20:27, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Not done Agreed with Dferg. This is not a case of block evasion, 3RR, or votestacking, where it is important to know if violators are related. Just block the uploaders. If you find more than a handful and you suspect that there may be an IP behind it that needs blocking, by all means, come back. -- Avi 05:02, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Reason(s): The lusophone (pt) wiktionary and wikiquote projects have been recently victims of a vandal that creates offensive user names and then go on and adds offensive material in many different pages in our sites. In pt.wikt, where I'm an administrator, I have been renaming his offensive names to "Nome inválido - nn".

This is not so much a CU request (because it's obvious the accounts belong to the same person) but rather a cry for help to see if the stewards would have a way to identify the IPs that this person uses and block them all, so that he doesn't come back to vandalize our work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Vandal accounts from yesterday were created using an open proxy that is now globally blocked. You may want to change the block settings for 66.96.128.0/18 to disallow account creations (you can even switch off the "anon. only" flags) since only vandals have used this IP open proxy range.

Another thing. If possible, please do not rename those accounts until we have globally blocked the account because that only increases the ammount of work we have to do later for the investigations - indef. block them locally and report them to a steward. You can report new vandal accounts like those ones at Steward requests/Global#Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hidding or vandalism reports so that we can globally block him. In the event one of those usernames contains grossly insulting and/or offensive material, personal information or it is a clear attack to other users you can request the same thing via email to the stewards OTRS queue: stewards@wikimedia.org or in IRC at #wikimedia-stewardsconnect - the suppression of global accounts is now possible.

Should you have further questions or need further help, do not hesistate to contact us again.

--dferg ☎ talk 07:18, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi dferg!
I have now re-blocked that open proxy according to your suggestions.
Re: renaming accounts: sorry about that, I thought renaming immediately was the right thing to do. I'll refrain from doing that in future occurrences.
Thanks for everything!

Nor for me. In fact I find contradictions in the rationale (i.e.: "I don't think they're sockpuppeting" - they why this request?). Additionally: opposing in a vote is not a valid reason to run a check unless you have strong suspicions of votestacking. Best regards, --dferg ☎ talk 15:02, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Requesting for CU because Hoyojo is blocked with "sockpuppeting" reason. But in a vote, they have opposite vote. Are they sockpuppet?-Waihorace 12:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

According to the current discussions in zh.wikipedia (1 and 2), there are currently some suspected sockpuppets which are controlled by users who have been indefinitely blocked due to repeated vandalism.

The suspected users are follows:

And the suspected sockpuppets are follows:

As the behavior check may not be reliable due to some reason, we need more technical assistance in identifying the relationships of the suspected accounts. Hence, please help to check the relationship of these accounts. Thank you.--Altt311 14:14, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Player-23 15:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

  • Oppose - zh:User:Player-23 has been well known in zh.wikipedia.org for his "anti-Christianity" editing style. From the above request for checkuser, zh:User:Player-23 may be too hostile to other users who oppose his edits in Christianity-related articles, and think that they must be "sock puppets of the same user". In fact, I had disagreed the request by zh:User:Yym1997 to block zh:User:Player23 (the previous username of Player-23) in [8] (2009 achieve of the zh-wp equivalence of "Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism").--Mewaqua 15:25, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
    • Not a good reason. If you were clean, why you so afraid that check? The editing dispute is another issue.Player-23 15:31, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
      • Your only argument for checkuser is "they revert my edits, they oppose me in editing dispute(s), so they must be sock puppets!". Why didn't you request a checkuser in 2009 on me when I opposed the block requests (more than once) in zh-wp against you raised by other users? --Mewaqua 15:47, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
      • 1. Checkuser is not for fishing users who disagree with you. 2. Returning to your "reasons" for checkuser, where did I and the other 4 users harass you? Where did I and the other 4 users multi-vote? I don't think my comments made regarding your inappropriate edits on the zh:基督教 (Christianity) article in zh-wp is harassment. (See also the recent discussions in zh:Talk:基督教 (Talk:Christianity, in Chinese).) --Mewaqua 16:20, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
