Mr. Starchy


...and many, many more.

First vandalism at :, ,. Note the use of "skarskarrskano.jpg" as an image name, and the use of "lentil" as a term for racist southerners.

This user repeatedly hit Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp when it was on the Main Page on July 9, , , et cetera: just keep going through the page's history on that day.

On July 20–21, see the entire history of, , , , and so forth. Lots of page-moving attempts to confound the AfD, falsification of AfD votes, et cetera. The sheer number of accounts, many of them pre-existing, implies a pre-created army of sockpuppets, most of which are now listed at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Mr. Starchy.

Although many of these sockpuppets appear to have been created as "disposable" accounts, the fact that the user has returned to several of them makes me believe that all should be blocked (and possibly the IP range they're coming from, if that can be done without collateral damage).

This is my first checkuser request; I hope I got the formatting correct. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:06, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Considering, this would seem to be either a Willy avatar or imitator. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * This vandalism on my home page further supports WoW connection.  is another article created by one of these socks. —Wknight94 (talk) 13:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Add who just now showed up to recreate . Fan-1967 01:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Given the number of sockpuppets tagging each one would be a chore. Instead, I've made two range blocks which I hope will handle the matter. Feel free to block and tag these as you see fit. Mackensen (talk) 03:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Update: Antandrus has identified this puppeteer as the North Carolina vandal. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I can buy that. Mackensen (talk) 14:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I've indef-blocked all these accounts (that weren't already), as well as the ones that were used on Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, and tagged most of them with .  I'm sure there are dozens, if not hundreds, more out there, though. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
