Dzhugashvili



 * Code letter: F


 * Supporting evidence: Dzhugashvili was recently blocked for vandalism and harrassment. Sharveet has been caught up in the autoblock and examination of their contributions shows an intersection of themn editing 8 different pages in common, including Thatperson. This strongly suggests sockpuppetry and I have declined to clear the autoblock. Usually that would be it, but because this case involves harassment I feel we need to get to the bottom of this. I have added User:JJGD because there was a suggestion on Dzhugashvili's talk page that they could be related. Spartaz Humbug! 20:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

. Can you give more detail about the intersection of editing interests, and in particular the alleged relationship of JJGD and Thatperson? [[Sam Korn ]] (smoddy) 23:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I cut and pasted the intersections onto the case talk page. Spartaz Humbug! 13:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm the guilty party who originally made the connection with JJGD and alluded to it on Dzhugashvili's talk page without any evidence. I had a gut feeling there were other usernames involved too, but I was unclear who seemed involved and who was just a victim of the puppets. I'm really pretty confident there's puppetry going on, but I postponed filing this because I needed time I didn't have to research a bit and put together some diffs, and make sure I wasn't accusing people who weren't involved.

So, unless Spartaz really wants to dig into this himself, I will try to put something together for you tonight or (more likely) tomorrow. --barneca (talk) 01:39, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, Sam, here you go: I've put together a list of usernames and user pages, as well as some additional comments that I won't repeat here, at User:Barneca/watch/banbury. I'm pretty sure this should be enough for you to run a Checkuser, but if you want more info, let me know.  This looks like a very large vandal ring to me; I anticipate you'll find quite a few related (and unlisted) accounts. --barneca (talk) 03:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks for the additional information.

✅ that Dzhugashvili and Sharveet are the same user. The same user is behind the accounts (who has invoked RTV) and.

Thatperson is technically ❌.

JJGD is.

I cannot see any other accounts, though the range is extremely large.

 * thank you Sam. All blocked now except Thatperson. I'm rubbish at tags so if some kind clerk could fix the tags in the user pages I'd be much obliged. Spartaz Humbug! 22:21, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, thank you Sam. Pleasantly surprised there weren't more recent ones, and glad to see that those accounts who's user pages are being vandalized are likely innocent. --barneca (talk) 22:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
