CU log

Reason(s): Hi there, I would like to request a CU check for the person called Mozgović. After comparing the user's editing habits with those of the globally blocked user Lordluka99, I've concluded that this must be a new sockpuppet of his that he's using to evade the block, so I've blocked him indefinitely using the duck test. However, I've also talked with some admin colleagues of mine who believe that the behaviour of this user is not really all that comparable with that of Lordluka99, so I've decided to turn to you and ask for a formal check. You can find the previous CU checks saved in archives from October 2020 to April 2021 if needed. Thank you in advance. Neptune, the Mystic 19:13, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

~~{{likely}}~~ Confirmed Mozgović and Lordluka99

@Neptune, the Mystic: From a technical point of view. ~~If the behavior patterns are similar, yes, combined with the technical information, they are very likely the same user.~~ No, they're same user, as far as I understand. Fixed. And I guess I know they don't like you.. ;) --Sotiale (talk) 07:40, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

CU log
Discussion: el:Βικιπαίδεια:Μαριονέτα (el/WP policy on sockpuppetry)

Reason(s): First of all, user TIGER96881 has admitted that they have or had another account, although they refrained from naming it and clarifying whether it's still active or not [1]. This account is suspicious of being a sock of Patata504, because they follow close the latter's interest in a couple of controversial articles or edits in those articles (about two artists [2], [3]). They [= TIGER96881] even appeared in another user's talk page where Patata504 is a frequent "commentator", supporting their (= Patata504's) attack against another editor with whom Patata504 is in conflict [4]. User TIGER96881 denied that is the same person as user Patata504, stating they just know each other, that both are funs of the artists and they met in a concert of one of those [5]. That may be the case, I cannot tell, but this claim is difficult to be taken at face value at this point, so I think a CU may help. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 07:11, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Confirmed TIGER96881 and Patata504

From a technical point of view. This is a technical analysis only and does not include an analysis of behavior pattern. They shared the same IP, and each edit was so close that it took less than 10 min. It's a meat case with the same purpose or real socking. --Sotiale (talk) 10:57, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Reason(s): These are two new accounts have been recently causing disruption to the region structure of Somalia. The fact that the Somalia article on en.voy isn't edited much, and these two new accounts look far too suspicious to be different people and editing that same page and editing in the same area. If they are however confirmed to be the same person, please don't block Dowrythubnuy, as the primary account is still allowed to edit but with a tarnished reputation.

From a technical point of view. Whether or not to block them on localwiki is up to localwiki to decide. We generally don't get involved unless it's related to xwiki abuse. However, this is a possible xwiki abuse.. But I have no plan to investigate separately. --Sotiale (talk) 11:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Sotiale :). Was just unsure about how blocks work, since I've seen some CUs use a {{checkuserblock}} reason as the block reason, but I'm not familiar with how CU investigations work. SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 11:55, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

@Sotiale Just interested should there be any blocks on sowp? There isn't a local community per say, last sysop edit is almost a year ago, and they are doing overlaps edit on this. This is same pattern as per envoy. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:20, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Reason(s): Both users have been recently engaged in blind reverts in topics related to the Greek '40s, World War II and the Greek civil war of 1946-1949 (e.g. Πτυχιούχος: [6], Ian 1975: [7], [8]). One of the two, Πτυχιούχος, has already been blocked for abusing multiple accounts (see [9]). It is highly likely that Ian1975 is a sleeper account of Πτυχιούχος and I expect a Checkuser to confirm this. Ασμοδαίος (talk) 13:37, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

However the contents themselves are different (Gareth: LOFTER ban users randomly in 2020; LOFTER 1108: LOFTER ban users that support Edward Gaming after EDG won LOL World Championship). It should be further noted that both users may be from Xi'an (Gareth edited Xi'an Metro, LOFTER 1108 edited a college in Yangling, Xi'an).

Reason(s): I am a local sysop and my recent block on the third account was reverted by another sysop.

CU log

Reason(s): There are some more dozens accounts from the last time on the Oldwikisource that are very strange. All are from this year. All of them are called <something>-Mensusa. I noticed the first in the log of new registrations in May and talked about them on my discussion page [10]. After more and more new ones were added, I created a abuse filter; since August 2021, there are a bit more than a hundred of such accounts. They seem to have an account on Oldwikisource only, but some (when clicked) show the message "no account exists". Today I switched the filter from "log only" to "prevent" as there are some 15 or 18 new account today only.

I have no explanation for this, nor do the stewards DerHexer and Schniggenldiller have any. So far there has been no abuse or harm, but I tend to block the accounts; First, however, I would like to know from which area they come, and therefore I apply for a CU request. And I look forward to any help, information, advice...

We do not have any Checkuser on Oldwikisource, I will simultaneously address this problem there and suggest that some users are interested in it. @DerHexer and Schniggendiller: FYI. Regards -jkb- 17:57, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

@-jkb-: Unless if you're checking their sleepers on loginwiki to ensure they have good reason for granting local IPBE, could you please give us at least some more accounts? CU Requests that are only having one user account are usually invalid. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Liuxinyu970226. There are 108 Mensusa Accounts since August 22 2021 listed in abuse filter log on oldwikisource (see link above as well). Do you mean I should transfer them per copy & paste to this page? -jkb- 11:15, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

I think listing 2 or 3 of them is enough, but it depends on stewards. Itcfangye (talk) 15:22, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

But that is what I exactly didn't want to do: I don't search for sleepers or something like that, as far as I could see no one of these accounts has some edits. I guess the accounts have been registered by one user or user group and I would like to know if they come from one IP or IP range or a certain organization. In this case we would have no 108 accounts but 108 socks. However I named above some 6 more accounts but I think more than six should be examined. -jkb- 17:18, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello @-jkb-, it's unlikely 108 accounts are created from a single IP (because of the 6 account limit, it's not possible to create more than 6 accounts from a single IP in 24 hours). I'm not sure CU is proportional here: new accounts are almost free, and as long as no actual abuse (in form of edits, etc.) happens, this looks pretty harmless to me?

For a possible explanation of what's happening, there's a shop of that name -- maybe naive spam(bot) attempts? Wouldn't line up with exactly zero edit attempts (at least as far as spamblacklist/abusefilter is concerned), but maybe their intention is to spam lists like Special:ListUsers?

If you want to prevent usernames of this pattern, I can likely add it to title blacklist for you – but note that if that happens, they might easily change their username pattern, at which point not only will the account creation continue, but you will no longer be able to detect them

. Martin Urbanec (talk) 00:20, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Nope. I wasn't talking about a single IP, but also an IP range or a company, organization, etc. And someone who creates accounts in this way will always find an alternative IP. I think this account system is very strange and unusual. But obviously I'm not alone. By a chance I found two of these accounts that are globally closed: LesiaMensusa and FrekbyfMensusa. @Bsadowski1: can you help with some more details? Thanks. -jkb- 10:57, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

@-jkb- Regardless how I think about this, I can't find a single reason to do a CU investigation here. In your request, you say "So far there has been no abuse or harm" – and as you're certainly aware, checkuser may be only used to limit disruption of the project. If there's no disruption...there's no reason to CU either. I'm sorry, but I don't see compelling reasons to retrieve the CU information at this point. Thank you for your understanding. Not done. Martin Urbanec (talk) 23:10, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

By the way, @ Martin Urbanec, MensUSA would be conceivable. -jkb- 11:34, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

@Bsadowski1:, could you have a look at this please? I think it might be useful to know why the two (above mentioned) Mensusa accounts have been globally blocked by you. In fact, I suspect that it is not necessarily a person but a small group of people who might belong to a company (such as MensUSA Company). The matteris strange, and that reinforces my suspicion: new accounts were registered almost every day, sometimes several, but after I switched the filter from "log only" to "disallow" on November 15th, no new accounts were registered. One or very few persons. -jkb-

Unlikely The three users are geographically very wide apart from each other, and given the lack of proxies (no one has IPBE), I think it is unlikely they're controlled by one person. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 09:48, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

CU log

Reason(s): Hi there, it has come under my attention that there are users called Tajkula and Bodypixel on hr.wiki, whose contributions are similar to that of user Zblace, whose account used to be globally locked for a period of time. All mentioned users have edited the same articles and their style of writing is relatively similar. What also seems to be a bit telling is something not necessarily connected to hr.wiki per se, but Meta – Zblace has been editing/creating pages in Grants namespace related to projects in Croatia largely alone, but the user Tajkula did that as well, which further leads me to believe that this may be the work of a single person behind different accounts. Hopefully this is not the case, but what I have seen so far does not really assuage my suspicions, so I would like to request a CU check. Please check their contributions on Meta during the check if possible. Thank you! Neptune, the Mystic 14:47, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Inconclusive using solely hrwiki technical data. I found no evidence of socking, but there are very few entries about the other users in the database. Meta CU will likely be needed – I'll ask Meta CUs to help here. On hold until they have some time to check. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 09:32, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Unlikely I talked about this with one of the meta.wikimedia.org checkusers. The final conclusion is that the users are not related. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 18:36, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
