КОВИД ИНТЕРВЕНТНА ПОЛИЦИЈА@sr.project

Not done We can't operate on srwiki, as they have their own checkusers. You will need to contact them locally. -- Amanda (she/her) 08:18, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

I could keep going with socks that are on the range that Seedintenso is on, but the only ones I can tell for sure are already blocked, so I think it's pointless to continue. The socks above are only likely because they come from the same range with the same very generic useragent, but most are already blocked. -- Amanda (she/her) 08:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

حسام علي جاد@ar.wikinews (and others)

I spoke with Daniuu via IRC, and due to the nature of these users, we are going to stick with a LWCU for these and I have already preformed the check and locked the relevant accounts. -- Amanda (she/her) 10:12, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

After thinking and talking to another steward, I have revokved the bxrwiki sysop privileges on Enkhsaihan2005, and another steward has locked all the socks. -- Amanda (she/her) 10:35, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kalogeropoulos (talk) 21:39, 15 Αυγούστου 2022 (UTC)

Hi Amanda; let me clarify the situation a little bit. Accounts Xaris333, Data Gamer, and Aisonas are not active. It has been found that Data Gamer was a (not declared) "new start" of Xaris 333, and Aisonas a sockpuppet of Data Gamer. When this was revealed, more "new starts" followed : Xaris 3 (with limited activity), Philocypros (as a supposedly final "new start", with regular activity), and Alpha333, Alpha334 & Alpha335, as "new starts" of Philocypros, whose activity was abruptly halted. About all this mess, see the following discussions (in Greek) in Admins Noticeboard of el/WP : "Ξεκαθάρισμα και εξηγήσεις", and "Πόσες νέες αρχές ?". The IP 109.xxx is not connected to Xaris, but it has a pattern of highly trollish "interventions", plus possible vandalisms in several articles. The range of this IP is blocked for 3 months in en/WP, because it was considered to be one of the IPs of a well known puppeteer (and cross-wiki abuser, active inter alia in el/WP); cf. w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dealer07/Archive. One of their latest sock was JustAnotherChance, and the 109.xxx ΙΡ seems to be connected to this user [1]. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 09:39, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Ειδικός εισβολέας@el.wikipedia

Hello @AlPaD. Is there any reason why this user cannot be blocked on behavioural grounds alone? I am not sure a check is required in this case. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
@MarcoAurelio: Hello! The user had attacked users who haven't any editing long after before his registration and users who have never interacted with him. What worries me is how he seen the users and if was he interacted with them with another account. AlPaD (talk) 10:18, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
@MarcoAurelio FYI, the user in question has been indef. blocked on el/WP as a puppet based on their contribution pattern. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 20:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
@AlPaD & Chalk19: Sorry, I got distracted with something else. Apologies. As far as I can see, the following accounts seem to be related based on technical evidence:
  • Ειδικός εισβολέας
  • High ambition
  • Δεκαπέντες
  • Αριέτε
  • Ψυχάκιας
  • Metinlar
  • Radikalna
  • Αδιάφορος

  • Bizo12
  • Gymna
  • Ajikio
  • Χολαν
  • Dakj
  • Καπετάν Βοργιάς
  • Σανα
  • Humanes Logo
Please note, again, that this is based on technical evidence only. Make sure run additional behavioural checks before blocking or taking any other action. Some of the listed accounts are blocked, but I did not checked for how long. This SRCU seems related to this one as well as this other. I hope that this helps. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi. From what I understand, Χρήστης: is the user namespace on elwiki, so you're asking to investigate Deepfriedfeta and NikolaosFanaris? --Sotiale (talk) 01:23, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Sotiale, may I ask if the account Accle has any changes in the level of similarity with the group's data, i.e. still only possible or can be technically confirmed? LuciferianThomas 11:16, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
There was not enough data to change the existing conclusion about Accle; at best, possible. --Sotiale (talk) 12:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Setswana@tn.wikipedia

Hello. Botswana Gaborone is as you said, but Setswana doesn't seem to be a copy of your userpage. And how are these 2 users related? Also, what is the relevance of revealing the relationship of these users to those who have already been blocked? --Sotiale (talk) 12:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello @Sotiale please check my userpage here before I updated it, User “Botswana Gaborone" copied my current Userpage and User “Setswana" copied my previous Userpage.
OK, changing the question, if so, can they be unblocked based on this checkuser result? In summary, I'm asking you to explain why you need to check this. It looks like you've blocked their account for sure, and one of the reasons is an inappropriate username. I don't think their block status will change according to this result. Please explain in detail why you should check them with checkuser. --Sotiale (talk) 09:51, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
I suspect them for sock with reasons above but now they are only blocked for inappropriate usernames, if they request for unblock we will ask to change their names and then they will be unblocked anytime, so this checkuser results may change their block status, for example if it happens they are related the block status will change to “Blocked for sock" but if they are not related they will remain blocked for inappropriate usernames which we just have to change their username and unblock them. The reason I need this check is to know if I have to change their block to “Blocked for sock" or not. Thanks Rebel Agent (talk) 03:36, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Yes, I understand. Thanks for your explanation. --Sotiale (talk) 03:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Possible Possible Setswana and Botswana Gaborone

From a technical point of view. This is my personal opinion separate from checkuser result, but I don't think it's necessary to change the block reason as they are possible to be the same user and behave similarly on certain wikis. Such coincidences do not happen without a chance on the same day. --Sotiale (talk) 03:47, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay I understand, Thank you.Rebel Agent (talk) 03:58, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Ucenicu@ro.wikipedia

Erm.. WP:DUCK means you don't need to checkuser them. It means that they can be blocked without this investigation because their behavior pattern is clear, implying that a checkuser is not needed. May I ask you once again as to why they should be investigated? --Sotiale (talk) 01:54, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
@Sotiale: Well, they should be investigated supposing that I'm wrong about DUCK. I do not claim to know they are the same editor, I only say it's likely. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:06, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Then it's not an obvious case(=DUCK), is it? --Sotiale (talk) 02:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
@Sotiale: I don't have to judge that, you have to judge that. I'm not the authority, you are the authority. I only have to show good reasons for performing the check. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:32, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
@Tgeorgescu: I think something is not communicating well. Checkuser has some kind of restriction because it looks a certain user's personal information. So it is used when necessary. You mentioned duck, which means you have confidence in them. But when I asked you the question, it seems that you used it to mean that you have good reason to doubt them, rather than being certain about them. May I ask if I understand what you are saying? I can do investigate in this case, and it's hard to do this if you're confident about it. I'm asking you a question in order to process your request, and I don't intend to frustrate this. --Sotiale (talk) 02:40, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
@Sotiale: Just see the diffs for yourself (most of the sources are in English, anyway, so they don't have to be translated) and decide for yourself if a check is warranted. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:44, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
To get me to do that, could you please answer the question? --Sotiale (talk) 03:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
@Sotiale: The WP:DUCK argument I have provided at w:ro:Wikipedia:Reclamații and it's up to the admins of ro.wiki to judge my argumentation. Of course, I cannot be absolutely sure that they are the same editor. I cannot know if they are the same person, or two different persons who endorse the same fringe theories at about one month distance from each other, who happen to have the same lack of consideration for reliable sources and the same propensity to think that their own opinions are by definition encyclopedia-worthy. All I know is that Ucenicu is temporarily blocked and cannot right now edit ro.wiki, so if they feel the urge to edit ro.wiki, they can only do that as an IP or as a sock account. Tgeorgescu (talk) 03:44, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. --Sotiale (talk) 03:50, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Unrelated Unrelated Ucenicu and Pufulus

From a technical point of view. They are technically distinct users; It is unknown whether they are mobilization accounts(WP:MEAT), but it does show that they are at least unlikely to be socks. --Sotiale (talk) 03:53, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
