New accounts all vandalizing Town. All accounts are blocked. Requesting a CU to identify sleeper accounts.

was caught up in the autoblock of using the same IP as. Jpgordon reblocked DailyWikiHelp. Previously, DailyWikiHelp was caught in the autoblock of Marytrotter using a different IP. I find it suspicious that DailyWikiHelp was doing the vast majority of the reverts from the singnet.com.sg orginated vandalism against City, The Little Lost Hen, and Town. The Cookepedia account also vandalized The Little Lost Hen. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

since this vandalism appears to have only stopped once the pages were protected, there may still be some sleepers out there. SpitfireTally-ho! 08:31, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * ✅ - the following accounts;

New user with complete knowledge of Wikipedia ex niihilo. Edits The Little Lost Hen, which seems to be a favorite article of this sockfarmer - see Wikistalk results. The behaviorial evidence seems clear enough for a duck block, but a check user should be run to check for other socks.

DailyWikiEditor is already indef blocked for disruptive editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:30, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 Note: The following added after the report had been closed and archived: 

For the sake of completeness the next time this comes up and someone looks up the history, on March 15 2010, DailyWikiHelp created a user page for User:!. That user had been blocked in 2006 as "either compromised or belongs to the vandal known as User:Marytrott". The Marytrott sockfarm includes:



Since DailyWikiHelp's socks include "Marytrotter", it seems possible that there is a connection between these two sockfarms. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

See Defending yourself against claims. What? I did not sock! It is only that I have the book! Why do you call me a sockpuppet? I'm not! Do not block users when you are not sure! Not only one person in the world knows about it! So, don't block me! Remove me from the list!--Small Boss (talk) 09:57, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I have looked into this fairly closely and it's pretty much a duck, endorsing for a sleeper check. I'm going to avoid saying more per beans, but please let me know if you want additional evidence, and I can provide it off-wiki (either in IRC or by e-mail). Thanks.

✅. Also, I'm not sure what the point of NicerBot was, but it was him. He also seems to quite like logging out and vandalising. --Deskana (talk) 22:06, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Small boss blocked and tagged. The other socks have been already blocked and I've tagged them.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 22:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Beyond My Ken
The usual haunts of DailyWikiHelp: vandalism and near-vandalism on Town, commentary about the vandalism on Talk:Town by Big Bosses, who also tried to stop Little Lost Hen, another of DWH's favorite articles, from being deleted by removing the dated prod after the seven days had elapsed.. (Note that one of DWH's more recently blocked socks was User:Small Boss.)

Seems pretty obvious and routine. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:58, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Requested by Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:58, 1 May 2010 (UTC) I have the feeling that there might be some more hidden socks somewhere. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:24, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Found just one. --jpgordon:==( o ) 20:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Is related? SpitfireTally-ho! 20:48, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Somehow overlooked that in my report.... --jpgordon:==( o ) 22:09, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Big Bosses blocked and tagged. All socks pass the duck test, so all other socks tagged as well.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 22:35, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
