 * Code letter: B (evasion of community ban)

This account has been brought to my attention as likely to be the latest incarnation of the banned user SEGA, who has used nearly 100 socks in the past. The subtle alterations to genre and date information combined with fair use image uploading fits this user's MO as I understand it. IPs historically used by SEGA are identified in past requests made on this page. WjBscribe 13:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Code letter: F  (entry on WP:BANNED)

No need for the history of SEGA - he's community-banned, and it's not going to be lifted anytime soon.

Anyways, I blocked 67.33.61.18 and 68.112.18.13 last week as SEGA, on the basis of behavioural evidence and IP similarity/ISP data. I'm slightly more hesitant to do it with this new account, though (which was brought to my attention by someone else), because I lack the IP data with the username, and don't want to mistakenly bite the new user. I was wondering if I could have a technically-based judgement on the IP similarity, just to be sure. Cheers,  Daniel  01:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

This user now has 70+ confirmed sockpuppets, see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of SEGA. Recently, said on my talk page that "SEGA will never ever die. Fuck you". In the past 24-28 hours, has re-uploaded several album cover images that SEGA socks originally uploaded. I noticed this, but decided not to do anything, since the user was following policy this time by using rationales. But, the user also created several pages, which some I will list below, that have been sent to WP:AFD. , who was one of the original possible sockpuppets (see bottom of this request), has returned after a year to vote on these AfD's. While I personnally think these articles should stay, I still think that vote stacking is bad and decided to bring this here to confirm these two are sockpuppets. Thanks! -- moe.RON   Let's talk  17:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

This user now has 70+ confirmed sockpuppets, see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of SEGA. Recently, said on my talk page that "SEGA will never ever die. Fuck you". These new users have popped up and removed notices from images that SEGA sockpuppets had originally uploaded, so I figured it would be best to ask for a checkuser on them to be sure. UPDATE: and  have been vandalizing my user page with SEGA sockpuppet accusations. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  22:27, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

This user has 40+ confirmed sockpuppets, see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of SEGA. Since the fourth RFC against this user was declined because of no arbitration ruling, a ruling was made and is now archived at Community_sanction_noticeboard/Archive6. Eight new usernames were created since the last RFC and have mainly focused on Marc Daubert and derivative articles. The users &  focused on WP:PRODing articles I have created after I put one on Parlor Tricks. These may or may not stem from the IP 68.112.20.9, which is very very close to SEGA's old IP of. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  22:48, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Highly suspect image uploads of Image:PageMcConnell221.jpg and Image:JonFishman218.jpg lead me to find the original photographs at. When IP users removed the photos from the infoboxes at Page McConnell and Jon Fishman, reply was: "???? I am the co-creator of the old Phish Phactory website (1998-2003). These are my personal photos taken on the Fall 2000 tour. My email is phactorystevens@yahoo.com if you have any questions".

In particular, MarcDau's edit summary of "Sourced correctly as an album cover. I scanned it, it belongs to me" is similar to FrankSteven2007's Image:Daubs.jpg.

I won't consider it a community ban on the strength of the block log. For it to be a community ban, there has to be discussion (usually on AN/I) and consensus. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Due to the fact that this puppetter let an alarming message on my talk page at User talk:Moeron saying that a ban won't stop them, I have seen these names on the same pages this puppetter used to target doing the same type of edits. Also, left an attack on User talk:Anger22 here. Anyway, I am requesting a checkuser on these users due to the parallel edits. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  15:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Code letter: B, F

had expressed concern to me at User talk:Moeron that this user may have been circumventing their block using the one IP address mentioned above that wasn't blocked below. Up until now, I decided to just watch for further problems. This evening, began uploading images and adding them to pages in a confrontational manner used by  and their socks. I admit some fault is on me, since the new user patterned their uploads on a previous picture of mine I used for the Phil Lesh page. However, I have (tried to) remedy this by requesting that image be deleted. However, based on the users blocked below and their liberal interpretation of WP:FU, I have request a checkuser to play safe. In particular, the edit summaries of both and  are very similar. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  04:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Possibly two more, & . In particular, look at the latter ones edit to my talk page atUser talk:Moeron. --  moe.RON   Let's talk  01:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Another one,, is attacking User talk:Anger22 (vandalism was removed). -- moe.RON   Let's talk  03:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * ✅. They're almost all on the same dynamic DNS address (not subnet, specific address) except for SEGA, Ideapower, and the 66.190 IP, which are unrelated to any of these. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 16:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ but Don't add things to a list here, please. There's no logical way I'm going to see those new entries in a closed RFCU; I just happened to notice this on my watchlist. In the future, put new entries after my responses, if the request is still open as this was. Anyway, the new ones are confirmed, except for Rockytop and the IP, for whom there is no obvious relationship. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 03:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Summary of request -- original request available on talk.
 * 1) Almost all of them have multiple image warnings. One of the reasons I believe these users are all one in the same is that the user makes new screen names to avoid his past with deleted images. The admin Meegs has even warned Padgett22 and Onlyslighted already about being the same user at User talk:Onlyslighted.
 * 2) Nomoretears & Lizards were blocked with "expiry time of indefinite (completely ignoring copyright policy)".
 * 3) A number of the newer users are also uploading band photos from "press kits", though some of the pictures are leading hits on image search engines like Google.com and Yahoo.com.
 * 4) MoreronCantContributeHeOnlyErases & 68.112.25.197 make similar edits:
 * 5) SEGA and 68.112.25.197 make similar edits:
 * 6) AlexKidd11's first and only edit to a DRV SEGA started: . When noted, removed by the IP:
 * 7) Steph11 makes similar attacks:, and widely re-inserts FU violations previously removed: contribs
 * 8) Padgett22 making similar insertions and attacks:   . Note that Padgett22 is suspected of being Onlyslighted, above.
 * 9) Multiple users think the images are being "deleted," including an AN/I thread:
 * 10) Accounts seem to tag-team, re-uploading, re-inserting, using similar means and commentary, including Image:FFN.jpg, Image:P0018721.jpg, Image:Moeron22.jpg (NSFW) (See lower parts of full request)

For these reasons, I am request a checkuser on users. I have dealt with this IP and its many faces and image violations since early 2006, but the creation of the username and the attack has made my finally decide to bring this to WP:RFC. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  22:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Can we get a summary of just the essential points, preferably one that takes 10 lines or less? Essjay  ( Talk )  23:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Summarized the report. Hopefully that's a good balance of brevity and completeness. Original version is available on talk - see here. Luna Santin 02:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * SEGA is the puppetmaster, as his account is distinctly older than the rest (a couple of months). Case location/list order updated to reflect this. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 03:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

✅. All the following are confirmed:

✅. The following are additional socks not listed in the request:



These are all too old to check. A decision will have to be made based on edit pattern.
