Bluegoblin7

 * - Known sock, for comparison purposes
 * - Known sock, for comparison purposes
 * - Known sock, for comparison purposes


 * The following are all accounts created by Bluegoblin7:




 * Code letter: F, G


 * Supporting evidence: See checkuser-l for a full explanation.  Bluegoblin7 was found to be operating good hand bad hand socks at multiple wikis in a ruse to gain sysop access.  Here on en-wiki, they were given access to the account creation tool. I believe that some of the above accounts might be legitimate, and that others will be socks for his farm.  We need to try to determine which are which. Jehochman Talk 12:03, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * What do you know! None of these accounts have ever edited (I have checked about 50%, but go ahead and double check).  What are the odds of that if these were legitimate requests? About zero I think.  I suggest we block all of them as sleeper socks. Jehochman Talk 12:11, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * An awful lot of accounts created never edit. It's not absolute proof, I would think. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 12:21, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Quack, quack, quack, Quack, QUAAAAACK!!!!! Jehochman Talk 12:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If none of these accounts have ever edited and were created by another account (I haven't checked -- taking your word for it) then there is nothing that CU can say. I agree, though, quack. Sam Korn (smoddy) 12:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I assembled this assuming that at least some of the accounts had edited. Thank you for the opinion.  Can the clerks here please help block all these accounts?  That is the second reason for posting here. Does somebody have a blocking script? Jehochman Talk 12:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've blocked them all except for the ones which have edited:, , , , , , , , , , and . east718 // talk  // email  // 15:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the templates, East718. I thought that some had edited. Checkuser help is needed for these:



Thanks! Jehochman Talk 15:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Please note that was blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of . A checkuser performed by  on the Simple English Wikipedia (where both BG7 and Washing edit) revealed that they were unrelated. I believe this needs to be clarified too. Thanks,  Peter Symonds  (talk ) 19:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * As to the Simple English Wikipedia CU results, was matched to   but as with the previous RfCU (below), Bluegoblin7 is on a separate ISP with absolutely no crossover of IP use while there is overlap in editing (including simultanious edits) . Checkuser-l has been informed of the basic results of the check on Simple. Creol (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

❌ to any other users are:
 * Anithyanand
 * Cole12321
 * H2c02
 * DORC
 * Klty69
 * Markashworth
 * Waqas Anwar
 * Womanontheinfluence

Hooganmaestro, Wanghoujiangxiang and Johan Chen are.

On these grounds, I think it is likely that all his account creations are genuine. Just a thought -- are there records kept for the ACC tool? Could we determine whether they were requested?

I am not sure about the links between BlueGoblin7 and Chris19910 and am following up. Sam Korn (smoddy) 23:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Having discussed this matter with various CUs from different wikis, we do not feel that the evidence linking Bluegoblin7 and the various accounts of Chris19910 is strong enough to merit the block. Bluegoblin7 has been unlocked globally and I have unblocked locally.  Sam Korn (smoddy) 23:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Awkward... Can East718 run his blocking script in reverse now?  —Wknight94 (talk) 00:19, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Awkward indeed. :/ All unblocked; there were no autoblocks (so nobody was wrongly affected). Hopefully we're all done here for now. east718 // talk  // email  // 00:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have Bluegoblins IP for the last 11 days and within those time, his ip has changed over 15 times but one thing remained constant which was his ISP, which is the reason I don't think he is Chris19910 since chris is on 2 other ISP's but his and secondly, I don't think Chris19910 is a sockmaster, I believe the real sockmaster is User:Iamandrewrice which simply means User:Iamandrewrice is actually User:Chris19910 and they are not 2 different people, a CU will find that both have something in similar, firstly both use OPAL and both have had these ip ranges, 78.*.*.*, 84.13.*.* as well ....-- Cometstyles 05:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Bluegoblin7



 * Code letter: G


 * Supporting evidence: Admin East718 states that they have obtained evidence, and a confession, via IRC that is user is operating a massive sockfarm. The user was blocked.  They protested, and because the evidence is not transparent, I have unblocked them pending the outcome of this RFCU. I do not think IRC channel ops are a substitute for checkuser.  Please handle with urgency.  If there is socking, we want to empty the entire drawer and identify the master account. Jehochman Talk 16:03, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * More evidence is available here. Jehochman Talk 16:51, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

All, before the CU is carried out i just want to mention this: Thanks,  B G  7even   16:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note from  B G  7even  
 * 1) Shanner191 has been blocked
 * 2) Accounts coming from one of the IP addresses will be my school
 * 3) There may be some tram related accounts from before I knew policy. I cannot remember. If they exist, I would never have edited with them except the tram related edits all within a few days of creation.
 * The IP i edit on the most is 86.151.50.146. I have never used the one on the ANI. Hopefully the CU will confirm this.  B G  7even   16:58, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note from Xp54321 (<font color="4CBB17">Hello! • <font color="4CBB17">Contribs ) : I hold a large amount of emails from both Chris19910 and Bluegoblin7. They may be forwarded to any interested user, admin, or checkuser here.--<font color="0070FF">Xp54321 (<font color="4CBB17">Hello! • <font color="4CBB17">Contribs ) 16:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Technically ❌. Different ISPs. Thatcher 18:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
