Nookdog


A couple days ago, I unblocked at the request of ; at the time it seemed like a fairly normal collateral damage block, nothing to be concerned about. However, today I received a note from an administrator on Wikiquote, where I'm also an admin, about the same address and similar problems there. The admin made a good case for connecting Nookdog to the vandalism, so I checked into the IPs edits further with checkuser. Checkuser reveals an unquestionable connection between Nookdog and the following recent vandal accounts:


 * KaIki
 * CrestvilIe
 * AbdelkweIi

Other (pre-emptively blocked):

To be honest, this is one of the nastier cases I've seen; beyond engaging in vandalism with the sockpuppet accounts while pleading innocent with others, he actually went as far as to welcome some of them. The unblocking exchange, where he confirms his use of 216.164.203.90 (for other's benefit, I obviously already know from checkuser), can be seen at the top of his talk page; a similar confirmation appears at the top of User talk:216.164.203.90.

As is generally my practice in these cases, I have blocked anything I found unblocked indef, as well as blocking the IP for six months to prevent further attacks. Given that the task of checkuser is to investigate and report, I leave the decision of what to do with Nookdog to the community. Essjay ( Talk  • Connect  ) 17:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Crestville
Please see Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents for details.

User:Wazzawazzawaz claims User:Crestville is committing vandalism on Wikiquote. The account he is talking about is in fact User:Crestvilie (CRESTVILIE), an imposter account. Crestville claimed Wazzawazzawaz created it. Can someone check who is who in this case? (If not, please forward this to checkuser request to Wikiquote along with relevant Wikipedia IP data for comparison. - Mgm|(talk) 11:20, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

. Wikipedia checkusers can't do checks on Wikiquote, and Wikiquote does not have a local checkuser. (I'm an admin there and have offered, but we just don't have the need for it.) If it rises to the level of involving the stewards, a request can be made on Meta for a steward to set themselves as a checkuser on WQ and do the check; at their request, I'll pull the IPs from here and forward. However, I strongly doubt they will be willing to do so. Essjay ( Talk  • Connect  ) 11:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
