Chinese blogpost spammers at mediawiki.org

Status:    Done

I've blocked these accounts on mediawiki.org and there are probably more of those. Please consider investigating them, checking for sleepers and blocking its underlying IP(s) either locally or globally for a while. Thanks, Mathonius (talk) 12:57, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Done. I removed the CheckUser rights on Quentin here as I think he was done. He blocked all confirmed socks locally and locked them too. Trijnsteltalk 21:26, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Status:    Done

These accounts were all created within the last few days and I'm afraid they might be 'sleeping' spambots. Please consider investigating if they're related. Mathonius (talk) 05:49, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I did not check them all, but from what I checked I did not see any known spambot patterns. I think that the best to do here is to keep an eye on them, but I really doubt that they are spam-only accounts. Regards, -- Quentinv57 (talk) 06:46, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

This non-sul account is being used to spam cross-wiki. I've blocked all profiles registered on June 6th, because they've been used to spam or tried to do so. I wonder if the following are related as well:

Thanks in advance, Mathonius (talk) 09:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Likely Likely I checked tiWP, meta and enWV and they all locate to the same broad ISP though across disparate IP ranges, and other circumstantial evidence would call this highly likely.  It looks like a duck to mebillinghurst sDrewth 12:07, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you! I've blocked it on meta, commons and en.v; I will request blocks on en.n and simple.wp. Mathonius (talk) 12:16, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Likely Likely Whole spread of IP data, nothing specific in that /16 to say yes, though shares other data to indicate there is a likelihood that there is a match, and the geolocation could align. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:38, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Suspected spambots (...(.)hare....)

Status:    Done

All of these accounts have been created recently. I'm afraid they might be spambots. Please investigate them and see if they're related. Thanks, Mathonius (talk) 15:02, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I did not found any known spambot pattern. My advice would be the same that on your last request : it may be a new bot, so please keep an eye on them. But we don't have enough evidence to lock at this stage. Regards, -- Quentinv57 (talk) 16:36, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

 Confirmed. No more sockpuppets found. Trijnsteltalk 20:49, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

جنگولک@fa.wikipedia

Inconclusive Inconclusive/Unlikely Unlikely Whilst both users access the internet through the same ISP, that is not surprising given how the internet is controlled in that area of the world. Their IPs are not necessarily related. Other technical evidence indicates that they are not necessarily the same person, although it is not impossible. Lastly علی رجبی edited last on April 16. -- Avi (talk) 17:33, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Crazy_daisuke@zhwikip

Comment. This check will end directly linking an IP address with a registered user. Privacy policy does not normaly allow us to make such direct associations. If the IP is behaving in a prohibited way I suggest to block it or use other measures like (semi)protection on those articles under edit war. Thanks. —Marco Aurelio (audiencia) 10:46, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Per Marco. -- Avi (talk) 17:38, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I guess this is then a «not done» instead of a «done» above, right? :-) —Marco Aurelio (audiencia) 19:07, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't matter, does it? Also, speaking generally, just because we try to protect the privacy of wikimedians, even vandals, does not mean to say that we do not try and protect the projects from those vandals 8-) . -- Avi (talk) 22:11, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Changed back to a "not done" as "closed" refers to "in progress" and therefore the request won't be archived by the bot. Trijnsteltalk 22:24, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Jytrkbags225 and Fryhbeats207@mediawiki.org

I'm expecting some spam for Dr. Dre beats and Chanel handbags (or so) from these pattern accounts. Please consider investigating them. Mathonius (talk) 08:39, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Reviewing this. — MA (audiencia) 12:32, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
I've got some results which I'm not too sure about and have asked for review. — MA (audiencia) 13:25, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Inconclusive Inconclusive Not the previous behaviour for this user, and looking at the range of the edits, it is a very busy space for editors (10s of users), and potentially a VPN access. The stewards will probably have a look at the editing IP range to see what other editing is taking place, however, at this stage I cannot recommend that we take further immediate action. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:13, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
Exactly my thoughts, tho I wanted to be sure. Thanks Billinghurst for your help. Closing this as "done". — MA (audiencia) 14:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Rlaalfo759@ko.wikipedia

Additional explanation: Hello. I'm an admin of Ko.wp and let me explain about this case. 4 targeted users repeatedly added unreferenced contents(possibly Original research) on ko:난다 난다 니얀다(Nanda Nanda Niyanda), and did not tried adding reliable source. ko:User:Djm03178 had notified to them, but their behavior were unchanged - actually they repeated same claim based on unreliable, original source - and they insulted other user reverting their edit. Maybe one of them attacked Djm03178 outside of wikipedia. Two of them(plus one another related account ko:사용자:Rkdwndus759) were blocked 6 months due to personal attack to reverter. --Mintz0223 (talk) 10:15, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Crosswiki spambots

Status:    Done

These accounts spammed yesterday and today. I've blocked all of them locally. They are - judging by their pattern usernames and the similar way they spam - probably related. Please check if a global IP block is possible/useful. Mathonius (talk) 18:06, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Iqszmwext (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date (alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser) on en.wikisource might also be related, but that wiki has local CU's. Mathonius (talk) 19:02, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
