 * ✅ - the following accounts:




 * - 24.9.80.0/20 - hardblocked for 3 months. There's very little in there other than Primetime and /20 is pretty narrow so there should be little if no collateral damage -  A l is o n  ❤ 01:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * - Will Beback asked me to take another look at this and, while I'm loath to rangeblock, there *is* one range where a softblock could be effective here. A lot of the above accounts are over multiple IPs, but the range 24.9.64.0/18 has been used extensively - I count almost a dozen new socks since yesterday's check already on that range. I recommend softblocking this range for a while - A l is o n  ❤ 00:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ - here's some more:




 * - A l is o n  ❤ 00:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Also, if you could please note the IPs used it would help when complaining to his ISP. I'll draft a letter and forward it to you so you can add the IPs and send it on. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 01:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Knowhands enjoykeep





 * Code letter: E

At Mac OS X, Knowhands enjoykeep has ignored consensus and breached WP:3RR resulting in two 3RR blocks. An autoblock then occurred after he used his IP address was used for edit warring. I suspect this was to avoid the username block.
 * Supporting evidence:

Today, in two separate instances, he restored some of his previously deleted edits and after they were reverted by other editors he reverted twice to his versions. After the second reversion his edit was reverted and Knowhands enjoykeep has not re-edited. However, 31 minutes after his last reversion Fdgdf3, a new user, reverted to Knowhands enjoykeep's version. His second edit on Wikipedia was also to revert to Knowhands enjoykeep's version after it had again been reverted. These are the only edits made by Fdgdf3. Fdgdf3 has now breached 3RR by reverting twice more on the same page.

Given the throwaway name used, Fdgdf3's limited and specific edit history, the appearance of Fdgdf3 soon after the mysterious "disappearance" of Knowhands enjoykeep and Knowhands enjoykeep's edit & block history I strongly suspect that Fdgdf3 is a sockpuppet of Knowhands enjoykeep, created by him in order to avoid a further 3RR breach and subsequent block. --AussieLegend (talk) 07:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Kjngjkn has now replaced both Knowhands enjoykeep and Fdgdf3, edit warring on Mac OS X, List of sexual slurs and Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming. He has also placed several random and unjustified warnings on my talk page. Based on this edit summary at List of sexual slurs and the limited edit history which targets pages edited by the administrator who blocked Knowhands enjoykeep the editor is most likely another sockpuppet of Knowhands enjoykeep. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * See the SSP case at Suspected sock puppets/Knowhands enjoykeep. EdJohnston (talk) 15:27, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Though the puppetteer and all five socks are now indef blocked, since new socks keep appearing I hope that checkuser can do something that might lead to a block of the underlying IP. EdJohnston (talk) 16:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Added to the list. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 17:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * There's no rush to complete this requet. These are all obvious socks, so we're just looking for other sleeper accounts and open proxies. However it's worth noting that most of these accounts were created months ago. The user knitted a drawer full of socks even when no one was challenging him. For that reason a little extra care in looking for other sleepers now could be useful down the road.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 12:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm about done here. The yield from any individual check is too low to make it worth my time. Has anyone tried a complaint against his provider? At least one of his main providers would be amenable to a complaint, I think. Thatcher 22:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

 * The above accounts should all probably be blocked if not already, those that aren't too stale match the pattern. Add and  to the list, too. Primetime uses one main connection (which is dynamic) but also edits from open proxies, so even a successful complaint to his main connection will only channel his efforts toward proxies (but might force him to throttle back; who knows).  I've asked Connel to send me a copy of his last complaint and response and I will try again. Thatcher 03:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've blocked all of the newly listed accounts. If it helps with the complaint, you can mention that he's also used the Wikipedia mail system to send me 1,103 emails, many of them somewhat obscene or harassing.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 08:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

 * However I've received emails from user:Balthazarduju saying that he's the puppet master of only User:Fundelelu, User:Joycedula, User:Thewallowmaker, User:Andrepalis, User:Ghislainfun, User:Callicunno, User:Daudulaka, User:Bergmanesque, and User talk:Indefinitevirtue. He claims to have no knowledge of Primetime. The edit patterns of those editors show some overlap with Primetime, but also some differences. The edit pattern is the same as those of the 67.2.145.xxx, 67.2.148.xxx, and 67.2.149.xxx anon and that's also consistent with the IPs on his emails.
 * (This user also claims that user:Mikesamras and user:RevolverOcelotX are not his socks.)
 * If this is true then user:Balthazarduju may need to cut back on the use of socks, but he is not a banned user. -Will Beback 05:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC) [amended 08:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)]

 * : This address was recently proven to be Primetime's home address on Wikionary. Please see this address's entry at wikt:Wiktionary:WikiProject on open proxies, where I posted an unblock request for this address due to a previous unblock on Wikipedia, not knowing that this is Primetime's home address.

Proof of Jimbo Wales ban: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3APrimetime

I first posted an unblock request on Wiktionary at wikt:Wiktionary:WikiProject on open proxies for an IP that had been recently unblocked at WP:OP because it was proven not to be an open proxy on Wikipedia. The unblock request was denied. The IP address was initially believed to be an open proxy that Primetime used, but it turned out to be his current home IP address because it was used for his style of copyvios on Wiktionary, and it is known that he uses Comcast as his ISP according to WP:'T. I then looked this address's block log and talk page here, and found that the address was blocked for a month due to CheckUser evidence. I am guessing that it came from the Jfreem;555 case in the IP check section, where 68.39.174.238 guessed that this account was a Primetime sockpuppet (which is still not blocked). That case is now listed as "Done." Please check to see if this account is another Primetime sock. You might want to consider extending the block on this copyvio specialist's address.

Primetime has been been permanently banned by user:Jimbo Wales for egregious copyright violaitons, yet has expressed his intention to keep returning. He previously created dozens of obvious sockpuppets here and on other Wikimedia projects: see Long term abuse/Primetime and Requests for checkuser/Case/Primetime. Most recently he's created Hhfh3, Adorno Horkheymer, and Galassi. Lute88 may be a sockpuppet, but it is not obvious, hence this request. I'd also request the usernames of any other socks that show up in RfCU so that we can block them and undo their damage as well. -Will Beback 03:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Lute88's edits are too old to check. The other ranges have been investigated but nothing obvious turned up. We're done here. Mackensen (talk) 03:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm afraid this won't be the last request. -Will Beback 04:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

See Long term abuse/Primetime. Can you identify and block the open proxies he's using to create more accounts? Rory096 19:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Working on it. Three ranges have been blocked so far. I'm working on the alleged socks now. Mackensen (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Special request: interproject coordination While you are adding blocks, if you notice any addresses not already blocked on wiktionary:Special:Log/block, please let me know via Special:Emailuser/Connel MacKenzie or my talk page. Thanks in advance.  --Connel MacKenzie 07:40, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Someone has been vandalizing user pages today. It's hard to say off-hand if they are socks of Primetime, but it is worth checking. Some of the vandals have been:

They appear to all be the same person, so checking one is sufficient. -Will Beback 04:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

He's back at it. Newest accounts are Djf2006 and Tyrn5. Can you check those IPs? --Rory096 06:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

❌ Mackensen (talk) 22:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Mackensen - which usernames are you referring to? Were the Doorway54, etc checked? -Will Beback 04:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Another suspect: with hauntingly similar style personal attacks on en.wikt: .  --Connel MacKenzie -  wikt 09:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. His editing behavior on Wikipedia is quite different. Possibly the Wiktionary editor is a dopelganger. -Will Beback 19:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Can someone please check user:I discovered America? Thanks, -Will Beback 18:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No need, it's been confirmed by the user. -Will Beback 22:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
