User:Coruptia was blocked 11/28/15 for edit warring. The User:Viperesti account was created 12/2/15, and was blocked 12/26/15 by User:KrakatoaKatie as a sock of Coruptia, although a sockpuppet investigation page was not created at that time. The current account, User:Unguriu, was created 12/27/15 and is still active. The current IP started editing 2/11/16 and is still active. There have probably been other IPs previously.

All of these are SPA accounts about Google Earth. They refer to Google Earth in the first person ("maintaining our map"). They have identical style, especially in edit summaries. Examples: Coruptia Viperesti Unguriu 5.13.193.80. MelanieN (talk) 00:44, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

As I've pointed out here, an additional little bit of evidence that Unguriu is probably someone I've dealt with before under another name is that they started mentioning me in edit summaries (in the corrupted form "Ljil") before I had had any specific interaction with them, or their 5.13.193.80 address (it's obvious that's their address because the edit summaries are just identical).

Coruptia and its various socks have basically only existed to campaign for List of 3D cities in Google Earth, now deleted per AfD, to be kept (and originally incorporated in Google Earth). This new account created and almost single-handedly edited List of 3D Locations in Google Earth, which seems like a copy of the deleted article (I've filed for speedy deletion), and is, other than that, also a recent WP:SPA about the same Google Earth-related articles that Coruptia historically covered. In addition, the editor has now posted an edit summary in perfect Coruptia style (compare with this one among others); in the corresponding edit, almost the entire content from the deleted article was once again reinstated. Additionally, the editor posted content on the Google Earth talk page that is identical to things previously posted just above by Unguriu (a Coruptia sock). CheckUser not requested as I think this is a very clear WP:DUCK case, but perhaps other people previously involved with this matter, like, may want to request differently.

Username appears intentionally similar to and this puppeteer has apparently a history with them, editing article that has previously been vandalized with same information. WP:DUCK seems to apply, but behaviour seems to indicate a checkuser, as they seem to be creating accounts quickly. Chrisw80 (talk) 20:10, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

 * All I can say is confirm that the user being reported is not me... and that at this point, Coruptia definitely seems to like me (see various edit summaries on Coruptia's socks' talk pages where I'm called Jennifer Lopez, presumably due to my initials). LjL (talk) 21:58, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

The IP address involved bulk-readded the things that were removed several, several times after being re-added several, several times by Coruptia's socks. Subsequently, the named user Otetoaia updated that list and it is possible to see from their contributions list (which is near-WP:SPA) that they are maintaining a userspace draft of the spinout of that list that was AfD-deleted. Quacking is loud, and honestly, Coruptia socks are so recurrent, that I'm not inclined to wait for further re-additions against consensus before filing. Clearly I do not really expect the IP to be publicly checkuser'd (theirs looks at least like disruptive editing though, to re-add AfD's content like that), but only the named account.

Adding 37.231.235.155 for completeness because this edit is very quacking, but they were already blocked by so there probably needs to be no further action on this one address. LjL (talk) 14:27, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

 * The account is ✅. It looks like the article is semi-protected for a few months, so that should help. Mike V • Talk 00:33, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
