Prin
He interchangeably edits comments of his puppets like this. This editor is a regular abuser of Wikipedia. He uploads literally hundreds of images with fake copyright tags. See all his discovered puppets here. I tried to tag some of his images but he reverts them immediately like this. Looking at his usernames, it seems he is islamophobic.Anwar 19:29, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

. Users must have recent contributions in order for checkuser to produce results. Essjay (  Talk  •  Connect  )  10:06, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Prin's account is already blocked. But he has returned with a new set of puppets. And ofcourse his uploads were recent. See his uploads till 22 May 2006 via Prince 06 account and uploads till 21 May 2006 via Ghajini Anwar 10:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you've failed to grasp how checkuser works. In order to confirm that two users are the same person, there has to be information about each person in the system. Running a check produces that information, which can then be checked. If there is no information, nothing is produced, and nothing can be checked. The only way to see if another account is related to the Prin account is to check it against information from the Prin account. There isn't any. Period. It doesn't exist. I can't check things that don't exist; it simply isn't there for me to check. Essjay  (  Talk  •  Connect  )  10:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm mainly curious because the issue popped up a couple times while I was browsing other things, but would it be possible to chain along from more recent Prin socks? The User:Prince 06 account started contributing a few hours after the User:Jath16 account was blocked as a sock - perhaps there is there information to match Prince 06 to Jath16? It may just be some sort of fan club or other group all making similar edits, but these do seem to keep popping up like hydras! - David Oberst 10:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * OK I got these IP addresses previously used by Prin from the April and May archive:

--- --- Is it possible to check the new puppets with reference to Prince_06? He is uploading the same pics (>50) with similar fake copyright tags and signs interchangeably comments of his puppets. That's nowhere near coincidence. Anwar 10:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I just remembered one more thing.
 * At 19.29, 22 May 2006, one puppet wrote this abuse at Ghajini's talk page
 * At 19.33, 22 May 2006, Ghajini reported this abuse at my talk page
 * I suspect both were one and the same. Can you match them? Anwar 11:14, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

✅. Same person. Essjay (  Talk  •  Connect  )  21:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What action will be taken on the puppets? Anwar 22:02, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * List it on ANI, and they should be blocked. Essjay  (  Talk  •  Connect  )  22:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

The repeat offender has returned with a new set of sock puppets. He was already banned for using the following sock puppets:, , , and. He has begun reverting Ajith article again in the same style as before using his templates. He is uploading images violating copyrights. He edits the user page of his puppets signing interchangeably. He has sent me hate mail from the above IP address - a copy of which I can forward to any email address if need be. He has blanked the 40-odd copyright notices from his talk page and added his name to admin request.

 * 81.129.220.151

He has tried atleast once to tamper with this request itself for user check like this on this very page. Please take action. Anwar saadat 11:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * is now indefinitely blocked for forgery of an admins signature, disruption and chronic copyright violations (note that the last 2 weren't actually used in the block summary, but they're true). --Rory096 16:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently Benzee was hit by the autoblock from that, but he's still saying he's a different person. --Rory096 16:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

. Benzee is Naan_Kadavul a/k/a 81.157.165.7 a/k/a 81.129.220.151 a/k/a several other similar IP addresses. Essjay (  Talk  •  Connect  )  07:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Can you please publish other IP addresses used by this sockpuppet? Anwar saadat 13:38, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll have to pull the results and see if there are any legitimate contributors on the IPs that could be affected if the information was released. Essjay  (  Talk  •  Connect  )  14:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Prin & Co. have used the following IPs:


 * See no reason that blocking them all for a short period of time (a month, perhaps) would be out of order, and have done so. Essjay  (  Talk  •  Connect  )  07:10, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

He's Prin, too, right? --Rory096 05:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. Essjay  (  Talk  •  Connect  )  06:57, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

This troll uploads images violating copyrights, awarded himself fake barnstars and testimonials, blanks copyright warnings and notices from his user page, vandalised my user page and wages disruptive edit wars in the article of Ajith. He has shown himself to be unwilling to enter into civil discussions to dispute resolution. Instead he resorts to name calling on his user page. He has managed to evade blocks using alternative IP addresses such as:
 * Possible sockpuppets of
 * Possible sockpuppets of
 * Possible sockpuppets of
 * Possible sockpuppets of
 * Possible sockpuppets of
 * Possible sockpuppets of
 * 86.134.32.14, 86.134.32.89, 86.138.135.64, 86.138.135.103, 86.140.164.100, 86.144.252.103
 * 81.129.220.29, 81.129.220.200, 81.157.164.165, 81.158.120.183

Editing styles are consistent. Never signs off with tilde. Interchangeably edits user pages of his aliases. Anwar saadat 13:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Confirmed. And User:Jathu as well. Jayjg (talk) 21:21, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
