Bruce99999



 * Code letter: A, G


 * Supporting evidence: More Bruce socks. I don't really need these ones confirmed so much (they're pretty obvious) as any others the user may be operating from that we haven't detected. Also would indicate the user has switched ranges recently. Evidence to confirm was that the last two accounts were making the same edits to Nicola Roxon as GaryGazza, whilst the first (incidentally, George Pell is a Catholic archbishop in Sydney) was making the same ones to Isis Gee.

 * Thanks for being so quick, but how can Ayshait be "unrelated"? the blocked ip as seen    has made the same edits when compared to Ayshait's   . Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 23:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

The lack of relation is to User:Bruce99999 and his cavalcade of socks. User:83.142.202.40 is not blocked. -- Avi (talk) 00:58, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, in that case I have some diffs to show that relation :) . So here the ip 83.142.202.40 makes the same revert that user:Isisgeebigfanista had been making, , , . Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 01:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It may or may not be the same person. The IP is a Polish one. The user is normally based near London, England (occasionally visiting New South Wales, Australia), but has a Polish and/or Lithuanian connection/ethnicity. Orderinchaos 02:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm, I've checked some of the proven Bruce ips and some are England some are Poland, I think it may be an ip mask because one of them said that i believe. All I know is that all of these users, socks or not, are driving me crazy with their unproductive edits. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 02:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * In that case, you may have grounds for a block due to obvious sockpuppetry. Please remember -- Avi (talk) 03:02, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. There's grounds for disruption blocks I think though, restoring edits by banned editors does fit under that category, so I 'll put have put those through now. Orderinchaos 03:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys, sorry if I keep bothering you all, but I can't block people myself and by the time I go through the trouble of making a formal complaint with diffs and tons of background info, its almost not worth it since I don't have a hard case to prove. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 03:13, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Not a problem (I'm an admin but non-checkuser). Generally if we see a sock, we just block, the checkuser's really only for doing what we can't (i.e. scoping the problem). Orderinchaos 03:27, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Supporting evidence: This is an update request to flush out any *other* accounts of this person (as the first three listed ones can be easily confirmed by contribs), who seems to have accounts only for the purpose of defaming/slurring Iain Lee, Bruce Mansfield and Philip Brady (broadcaster), and more recently adding unsourced information to or removing valid information from Isis Gee. Orderinchaos 21:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Unfortunately I use a shared IP called T-mobile with over 200,000+ users. I actually found out about the edit war when my IP was blocked because another user was vandalizing it and made an effort to stop the edit war. My philosophy was that banning the socks would make no difference but removing overtly POV ( both negative and positive) was a solution. GRK1011 knows this ( I mentioned it in the discussion) and is trying to block me as I removed his material as it was SELF PUB and exacerbating the edit war. I tried to communicate with the user a number of times but he removes my comments from his talk page. I think it is valid for me to ask him to stop inflaming an edit war. I asked him on his talkpage as his constant reverts of negative but sourced information was causing the edit war.Polishmusicfan (talk) 19:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * In my defense, here is the "SELFPUB overtly pov info" . Also, I'm not going to sit back as he tries to slander me across wikipedia with foolish vandalism warnings because of an edit war over proper grammar, that only the above socks support. Please just get this checkuser completed so I can get back to editing. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 19:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have nothing against you, it is just that you constantly reverted edits without reading them properly or contributing to the discussion. All I asked you was to stop reverting and contribute to the discussion. The whole problem with the socks was that they appeared when there was a lot of SELFPUB material. By having a compromise edit ( which I did and you constantly reverted until another user told you not to) we have now ended the edit war. Of course by putting my IP and my username in the same list as the socks who blocked my shared IP address you seem to be bullying me because I reverted your edits. I realize you were involved in an edit war with socks but I am trying to end the edit war and help. Please see all the edits I made. This is a waste of wiki time because you are disgruntled. In addition i ask the admins to be aware that with my edits the war has stopped and there is now a consensus version. I'd appreciete it GRK1011 if you stoped inflaming the war....clearly by taking it to this level you have a little bias!! Polishmusicfan (talk) 19:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comparing the style of and allegations made by this user in various forms over recent days, with the original GaryGazza account at this page from eight months ago, is quite revealing. Orderinchaos 02:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Polishmusicfan, please do not remove names or IPs from this case. -- lucasbfr  talk 17:47, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I will second that. And the user that tried to remove the IP while claiming they were innocent was a sock. Go figure. -- Terrillja talk  05:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Code letter: F, G
 * Supporting evidence: Users Bruce99999 and Homoman12 were blocked indefinitely in November for socking, with the 149. address also blocked for a time, and checkuser (DD) today identified GaryGazza as being also identified with these. Made a case summary here of Gary's editing on Nicola Roxon before I had all the facts, but events have overtaken that page. EDIT: This new diff links 149. directly to GG.

Consistent vandalism and egregious BLP violations at Bruce Mansfield (more a pattern than specific diffs) and at Iain Lee, Nicola Roxon, Iain Lee and Philip Brady (broadcaster) (see deleted diffs on the latter). Pattern is adding militantly pro-Jewish and/or anti-gay stuff to articles, messing with talk pages and accusing other editors of anti-semitism or racism - and have not been above making threats. The IP addresses, while belonging to a wide range on a UK ISP, have fairly consistent behaviour with only occasional intrusion from other users. Two reasons I am requesting checkuser:
 * I believe there'll be more to come (these guys have been up to this for almost a year) so want to make it easier for other editors to come by putting this on the record.
 * Some had not been confirmed by the earlier checkuser as they had not yet been identified.

Note that Bruce99999 was blocked quite a while ago, but this diff directly links Homoman12 to Bruce, while these two (identical edits 3 days apart) clearly link the 149. range with Bruce. Orderinchaos 18:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Side point - it appears the user infrequently moves between England and Australia, so there may be quite sudden switchovers in which IPs link to which times, particularly in January. Orderinchaos 20:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

 * There are a lot of users on these IPs, maybe some kind of a mobile device gateway. I think I can tell which accounts belong here, but this is  rather than anything stronger:, , , , , , , , . Thatcher 21:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting - similar types of edits to Nick Abbot on the ones you raised and that article on full protection as well. Orderinchaos 21:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Concur as at least for users Thatcher lists. Also ,  as well. Did not search contribs, I leave that to others. ++Lar: t/c 23:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry to add two more but could someone please check the following as well against the above?
