Repartee


I don't think checkuser is needed, as it's fairly obvious that Top Drawer is a sockpuppet of Repartee by looking at their contributions. Nothing but vandalism and nonsense. --Aude ( talk | contribs ) 17:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * A CheckUser should still be done to weed out other sock puppets. --Nlu (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea. This user has been quite persistent and there certainly might be other sockpuppets. --Aude ( talk | contribs ) 22:12, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I've compiled a list of potential sock puppets for this user. See for details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yankees76 (talk • contribs)

User:Bottom Drawer, another suspected sockpuppet of Repartee, has shown up today with the same vandalism behavior. --Aude ( talk | contribs ) 19:40, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

and many more recent suspected sockpuppets
I am reposting this request from February, which was archived and closed as stale. This user/vandal has reappeared since then under 20 different user names and IP addresses &mdash; most recently as Deliciously Witty on March 29. I realize that the records don't go back as far as Repartee's last edits, but many accounts are more recent. Here is a list of suspected Repartee sockpuppets and dates of last edits:
 * 1) - February 15 (IP is from Thames Valley School District)
 * 2) - February 15 (IP is from Execulink Internet Services Corporation - Burgessville, Ontario)
 * 3) - February 15
 * 4) - February 16 (IP is from Thames Valley School District)
 * 5) - February 16
 * 6) - February 16
 * 7) - February 17
 * 8) - February 20
 * 9) - February 20
 * 10) - February 21 (IP is from Execulink Internet Services Corporation - Burgessville, Ontario)
 * 11) - February 27
 * 12) - February 28
 * 13) - March 3
 * 14) - March 3
 * 15) - March 14
 * 16) - March 21 (IP is from Execulink Internet Services Corporation - Burgessville, Ontario)
 * 17) - March 27
 * 18) - March 28 (IP is from Thames Valley School District)
 * 19) - March 29
 * 20) - March 30

More details and evidence of similar editing patterns are on User talk:Repartee. My suspicions are that Repartee is editing from home, connected via Execulink, and editing from school, merely to be annoying and trolling. If checkuser verifies this, I'm not sure what can/should be done. Should we block the school or range of IPs from account creation? Perhaps, I'd rather just deal with each sockpuppet than block innocent users. From time to time, I've searched through recent change logs to find edits from these IP ranges, however, there's no way I know of to flag new accounts created from certain IP ranges (would be nice if we could?). Please advise on how such cases are generally handled and if necessary, do checkuser. --Aude ( talk | contribs ) 15:33, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
