This request is completely nonsensical, the diff in question shows absolutely nothing to indicate that the user is a sockpuppet. The suspicion is that he is either a meatpuppet or has 'lent' his account to the other user.

CU log

Reason(s): Alberto Emilio Lopez Viñals is a [b]locked account that used to add nonsense on talk pages, insulting comments and text in a language 'invented' by him (as he states here). For this reason, most of his contributions were deleted. With all his other IP he says he is the "Jedi" ('Le Jedi' or 'Lo Jedi'), as exemplified here, here, here, here, here (there are many others), which explains his new name. By checking the abuse filter logs that was triggered by his IP ranges (and enabled specially because of his edits), we can compare the edits he tried to make unlogged with the edits he made with this new account. On article "Vino" (1 , 2); on "Argentina" (1 , 2); on "Discussion:Geometria" (1 , 2) and all his first edits - 1 = logged as 'LoJedi' and 2 = unlogged on abuse filter. Some of his ranges are listed here. Thank you. ” T_ele^s (T_alk _{@ C S}) 07:45, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Dirt Diver (Abigor)

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

Status: Not done

Dirt Diver (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)
Abigor (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)
Unknown vandal, offensive usernames hidden, [11], particularly [12]

In Requests for comment/Abigor, conclusive checkuser evidence identified the acknowledged Abigor sock, Dirt Diver, as using the same access and device as a vandal, and he was blocked. This request is a courtesy to him in recognition of his prior service as a meta administrator. This is not a request for investigation and conclusion, as is normal here, for the RfC conclusion is not challenged and it is now moot. Even if it were found that Abigor was not this vandal, he would remain blocked for other reasons. Rather, Abigor has requested the raw checkuser evidence on which the conclusion was based, because he claims the vandal (or at least the third with the highly offensive name) could not have been him. He has agreed to public disclosure, which is therefore allowed per Privacy policy. Abigor has admitted prior deception, so this request is not based on a belief that he is telling the truth, but rather on recognition that an exploit, that successfully created the vandal evidence, is not impossible. Abigor, real-life, would need to know for his own security. The evidence would tell him what computer was used and when, it would enable him to investigate the situation himself.

Unless there is sound contrary reason, a user found to have socked and who suffers a sanction or adverse disclosure as a result, and who agrees to public disclosure of the otherwise private evidence, should be provided this, if there is any checkuser willing to satisfy the request. (I suspect the Foundation is under a legal obligation, but let's hope that's moot.) I recommend providing it publicly, so that there be nothing hidden about this, but it could be provided privately to him.

It has been argued that a privacy problem exists if Abigor is not the vandal, but vandalism spoofing another user is much more serious than ordinary socking, and there is no protection for such vandals, policy again allows disclosure as needed. So if Abigor is the vandal, disclosure is allowed because he permitted it, and if he is not the vandal, justice and equity require disclosure.

Please provide Abigor or the community with the requested evidence. Thanks. --Abd 03:04, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Not done Sorry, but it has to go here. Thx. fr33kman 05:09, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, are you asking for all CUs related to the Abigor account on meta, or on other projects also? fr33kman 05:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

The Abigor account is included for completeness, but the central request relates to the acknowledged sock Dirt Diver and the alleged vandal, conclusively identified as Abigor ("conclusive" means that the evidence is strong enough to create a presumption allowing action.). For information about the vandal, see the links. I can't definitively identify the account for obvious reasons! It is not necessary to provide "all activity," only the specific activity that linked Dirt Diver and the vandal. A checkuser may decide to not disclose all CU activity re Abigor, per se. What Abigor needs is that vandal activity, and because an exploit might involve compromise of Dirt Diver's account, activity for Dirt Diver. --Abd 16:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Either way, there seems nothing for the stewards to do here, but only for local checkusers. fr33kman 05:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Not having either checkuser privilege or local admin access, I cannot tell if a local checkuser request, anywhere, will be adequate. Given the consensual nature of this request, and the possible cross-wiki checking needed -- I can't tell -- this is the best place to first make this request. I could ask the two steward/checkusers, who provided evidence here on meta, to provide that evidence to Abigor, or, as suggested, go to all the other places. Finishing this here could be simplest, for sure. Hence I am reverting the change to status and request that this remain open for a reasonable time to see if any steward is willing to do this, before other options are explored. I will, however, notify the two commenting steward/checkusers, perhaps they, having already looked, will make this moot. This request is not based on any mistrust of them. Thanks. --Abd 16:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Notices, personal requests: Dferg, Herbythyme. --Abd 16:35, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

The answer is no. If you want an investigation, contact the relevant people (or the WMF directly). The stewards themselves will not satisfy this request. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Sure, I'll recommend that to Abigor if it's necessary. --Abd 23:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

The issue is that the projects that need CU'ing in this request have local checkusers and so the requests must go there. fr33kman 21:39, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

The problem here is that multiple wiki checkuser results may be involved, because there may have been cross-wiki activity, so this could be simpler for a steward to do than to go for a set of individual requests. Ideally, the steward and local checkuser who already responded in the RfC will simply provide what information they already found, and they've been asked, as I noted above. However, if there is no response here, or otherwise from them, in a reasonable time, then the other routes will be explored. Thanks. --Abd 23:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment Whether or not it'd be simplier is not a concern; policy must be followed. Best of luck and let me know personally if you get no where. fr33kman 05:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Reason(s): These three users deleted a part of ko:호텔신라(Shilla Hotel). On April 2011, Korean Traditional Clothing(Hanbok) Designer tried to enter the restaurant Shilla Hotel, but the clerk refused. As a result, the hotel was criticized by Korean people because people who work in this hotel neglected Korean traditional things although they are Korean people and the hotel was Korean hotel. When you see this editing history(editing history of the article), you can see some useres inserted this happening with these several news reports(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - All of these articles were written in Korean). However, these three people deleted this part(ko:호텔신라#한복 출입금지 논란) although many users restore these vandal. I doubt these three users are working in the hotel, because they are deleting the part with same pattern.

Reason(s): Bruno Meireles was checked a month ago when it was confirmed he used socks to engage on edit warring. After that, the edit warring didn't stop on that same article (Nívea Maria) and others like "Rita Guedes". The same IP ranges are being used for that. The article was semi-protected, but a new account was used to evade protection and make almost the same edit the IP wanted to do (compare IP edit and new account edit). An IP was also used to make personal attacks (see links on summary, referring to the other user that reverted him). At least this IP was used to evade the block of the main account and keep edit warring. On my talk page, some IP confirmed they are Bruno Meireles by requesting to unblock his account (which was not blocked anymore by the way). So, we have block evasion, edit warring and personal attacks. Thanks in advance.” T_ele^s (T_alk _{@ C S}) 05:07, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

It took a bit of checking and crosschecking (there were changing user agents involved), but I managed to confirm this request. The user in question resolves to many, many ip addresses but a range block is not possible so I'll not provide any information here. fr33kman 05:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

CU log

Reason(s): I had requested a checkuser on Litter, Milker, Pokka and Ramblers in Steward requests/Checkuser/2009-02#Litter@zhwp, Milker@zhwp, Pokka@zhwp and Ramblers@zhwp (done), and the result was "Inconclusive". These 4 accounts then became dormant (no single edit at all) for more than 2 years (from 2009 to Jul 2011). In Jul 2011, they suddenly wake up to vote "support" in zh:Wikipedia:管理員解任投票/Shizhao/第7次 (Desysop vote for User:shizhao in zhwp), and then become dormant again. The 5th account, GoodFighter, had admitted in 2009-03-07 in zhwp (see [14], in Chinese) that he was an old wikipedian (but the account was newly created at that time). GoodFighter then became dormant from 2009 to Jul 2011, and also suddenly wakes up in Jul 2011 to vote "oppose" in a recent sysop vote zh:Wikipedia:申请成为管理员/Bencmq/第二次 (Sysop vote for User:Bencmq in zhwp). Ramblers also vote "oppose" in this event. Mewaqua 16:43, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. However, there are off-wiki canvassing posts about the above zhwp votes in http://forum.hkgolden.com (en:Hong Kong Golden Forum), teaching the readers how to by-pass the checkuser mechanism of Wikipedia.

Reason(s): Cross wiki category and content disruption by user who was blocked for sockpuppetry on nl-wiki but stems from lv-wiki. File is here. He can and does make new accounts since he logs in via the highly dynamic mobile phone ranges of Omnitel in Lithouania 188.69.128.0/17 (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)

62.212.200.0/22 (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • CA • ST • lwcheckuser) and 62.212.204.0/22 (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • CA • ST • lwcheckuser). Blocked due to repeated misuse of sockpuppet accounts harming a good build up of the nl-wikipedia and also similar problems cross wiki, ruining categories without knowledge of the languages and respecting the existing framework, doing detrimental edits on articles and persisting in these compulsively driven habits despite help given. Has a compulsive need to do all kind of legal/juridical cats stuff and content stuff but makes many mistakes because he does not onderstand the languages he edits in. Are there more sockpuppets around? The latest checkuser on nl-wiki done is here with links to the two previous ones done. MoiraMoira 10:52, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

CheckUser is not for fishing. I don't know what happened but it is very unethical if you make false allegations just to ensure your checkuser request is granted. Well good strategy though since your request has been granted.

I checked what you claim but I found nearly all claims you made are false. Please provide diffs to show that all the above accounts have admitted they come from Hong Kong via HKGolden Forum. Ttoew and Madcat45 voted without arguing anything. What made you think they made "consistent personal attack" on the poll? Please quote their statements and diffs to prove it. Gray.Hang, Lunwingkit, Coekon and Innche didn't vote. In effect Coekon wasn't involved at all. They are blatant lies. It is beyond me how someone uninvolved or didn't argue was accused of "consistent personal attack".

I had a look at a few previous checkuser requests of some Chinese Wikipedians. I observed that they once mixed false allegations with facts, or skewed facts or evidence to mislead a steward. May I remind Chinese Wikipedians that Checkuser is only be accepted to counter vandalism or disruption? A sockpuppet, so to speak, is allowed if he use it for legitimate reasons. I hope this sort of things won't happen again in future.

I hope stewards can double check what they claim and verify their so-called evidence before granting their requests in future. Thank you. Tylerck 09:49, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Ronochen had not edited for a long time before but today he suddenly woke up and vote "Support" to Sdee's nomination.

Singsingmac is a new user and vote "Support" to Sdee's, and also commented something that is protecting Sdee.
