 * Code letter: E


 * Supporting evidence: J.A. Comment recently made some very controversial and very POV edits to Magnum Crimen  and Petar Brzica   without discussion. When reverted two extremely similar IPs showed up to edit war and violate 3rr. User:147.91.1.45 on Magnum Crimen  and Petar Brzica   . User:147.91.1.45 on Magnum Crimen  and Petar Brzica  .

J. A. Comment



 * Code letter: F D


 * Supporting evidence: In article Srbosjek user 71.252.101.67 aka 71.252.102.204 is edit warring against all other users. From 20 May 2008 he is supported by newly created account J. A. Comment. This new user has been warned by SWik78 (which is using anti vandal tool) that his actions are under question but this has not stoped SPA account (history of article).

It is "public" knowledge (for small example I will use administrators Fut.Perf. and Lar), that banned users Velebit, Stagalj and Smerdyakoff are using IP range 71.252.xx.xxx and because of this reason User talk:71.252.83.230 and User talk:71.252.101.51 has been blocked. Because it is not clear which of this banned users (Smerdyakoff or Velebit) is puppet master (or if this is only 1 user) they are all in this list--Rjecina (talk) 00:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Users Smerdyakoff, Stagalj and Standshown are banned in February 2008 because of using multiple accounts or because they are suspected for beeing puppets of banned user:Velebit. User 71.252.101.51 has first tried to put under question Standshown blocking on his user page then he has reverted article Ante Pavelić to user:Stagalj version  and in the end he has reverted Croatian section of article Neo-Nazism to Stagalj version. Similar thing has been done from user:153.39.144.157,.

With knowledge that you are becoming tired of me my only defense is that I am 90 % right --Rjecina (talk) 18:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * What is the purpose of this request? All three named accounts are blocked, and the privacy policy prevents disclosure (or confirmation) of an editor's IP address in most cases.  It has already been confirmed that Smerdyakoff==Standshown and that Stagalj is . Thatcher 20:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * New problems are IP address 153.39.144.157 and 71.252.101.51 because they are reverting articles to version of banned users. If they will become confirmed puppets they will be banned.--Rjecina (talk) 01:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, then . I can't confirm a user's IP address except when absolutely necessary.  Here, any IP that edits exactly like a banned user can be blocked.  You can ask a friendly admin or make a report on WP:ANI or WP:AIV.  Be sure to reference this report and the banned users name to avoid confusion. Thatcher 01:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Stagalj


I am baselesly accused to be a sockpuppet of



whose suspected sockpuppets are:

Kindly please deny (or confirm) these accusations. Stagalj (talk) 00:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Note that Checkuser can't prove one's innocence (it only proves guilt). I am listing the case so a CU can review it. -- lucasbfr  talk 10:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * - per clerk. Checkuser cannot "prove" innocence. Also, no case type - A l is o n  ❤ 15:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The case is visible here:
 * Also, I took out of the list user Standshown due to the fact that there was a case where it was shown that we are unrelated.--Stagalj (talk) 23:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Smerdyakoff

Because of so many IP address maybe this look like fishing in dark, but this is not true. User Velebit is banned from editing wikipedia and first 4 IP addreses are confirmed or only suspected to be used by this banned editor. Users Standshown, Smerdyakoff and Stagalj are having similar editing style and they are edit warring on similar articles (role of Croatia and Serbia in WWII). Today user Stagalj has been blocked for beeing puppet of Velebit so he is not on this list.

Velebit has always worked with multiple puppets (and multiple IP !!) which are helping one another is discussion or changes in articles. For example I will use last blocked puppets of Velebit users NovaNova and GiorgioOrsini. First has been active between 23 November and 11 Jully 2007 and second between 9 November and 9 Jully 2007. Even user Stagalj has declared Smerdyakoff suspected puppet of Velebit It is interesting to notice that edits from IP which are used by puppets of Velebit has stoped after creation of this 3 account.

Last 2 IP address I have added to this list because they have been active only in reverting article to version Standshown,  which has been little helped with 1 reference added by another user. In RFC on talk page users Smerdyakoff and Standshown have supported one another. During this support user Standshown has commited great mistake with writing link where he and Smerdyakoff have come to agreement about text. Only problem is that place shown on this link has been edited only by user Standshown ( link and what this link is showing) !!

I have been following Standshown for some time, as a suspected sock puppet and edit warring user. This is the icing on the cake. I recommend blocking both accounts indefinitely for attempting to generate a false consensus in Eastern European topics. The user has been on notice for some time. This behavior is totally unacceptable. Jehochman Talk 15:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I have indefinitely blocked both confirmed accounts as abusive sockpuppets. I have raised the situation for further attention at: Administrators' noticeboard/Archive246.
