Fairly obvious block evasion. First IP comes and adds copyrighted material ripped straight from the Syrian government's "news" agency in classic, uncommunicative Deonis style; second IP geolocates to the same place as the first and is similarly mute. Honestly I'm not even sure if he understands what he is doing wrong even after being beaten upside the head with it on two projects. Open and shut, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe a rangeblock is possible? Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 22:21, 13 December 2012 (UTC) Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 22:21, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * They haven't edited in a couple days, and they are dynamic, so blocking would probably be of limited utility. To block those two IP addresses it would be at minimum a /16 which, considering the disruption isn't too terrible, probably isn't worth it. NativeForeigner Talk 10:39, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Another Kievan 95.133... IP acting the exact same way as the last two and the master. This may not be the largest-scale disruption, but for anyone working on the Syrian civil war articles, Deonis was a royal pain in the rear and seems determined on remaining so. Uncommunicative, incompetent, and incapable of learning. Can there at least be some s-protects put in place so he can finally get the message that blocked means blocked?

I don't think that deonis2012 is a sock puppet. Alhanuty (talk) 23:20, 16 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Neither do I. I think he is the sockmaster who is controlling the block-evading IP socks that I listed above. See the archives for this case as well. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 23:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Both of these IPs edited for one day only, and more than 4 days ago. If this is him (and it may well be) then I don't think blocking these IPs will do much good, as they're probably dynamic. I would suggest taking it to WP:RPP if it becomes more of a problem Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 19:18, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocking those IPs wouldn't do anything, as they appear to be dynamically assigned. Like Basalisk said, take it to WP:RFPP if it continues. ( X! ·  talk )  · @035  · 23:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

About 3 weeks ago Deonis was banned Now many ips from the ukraine (where he was from) have popped up with the same pages Deonis edited. The ips have a similar rhetoric and style editing the Syrian conflict.

Obvious block evasion

Quack. At least he finally figured out what a talkpage is.... Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 18:19, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Salvio, the current page-protection is set to full, meaning that not only is this character prevented from editing, so are dedicated and productive contributors to the page. Addshore lazily deemed this to be a run-of-the-mill "content dispute" between parties of equal editing parity as opposed to a disruptive block-evading nuisance linkspamming a partisan propaganda site into the article. A semi-protection or even review-protection would have been sufficient. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 18:24, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Those IPs look rather ducky to me; that said, considering they appear to be dynamically assigned, I don't think we can do anything now, as they are somewhat stale. Should page protection turn out to be ineffective, we can consider rangeblocking, but I'd rather try protection for the moment. Salvio  Let's talk about it! 17:33, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Fairly characteristic Deonis behaviour—active on Commons (where he tends to revert changes showing any advances by the Syrian rebels, cf.  ), adorning his page with ill-formatted symbols (this time Kurdish  to deflect suspicion, no doubt—but cf.  and ), adding information copied and pasted from Syrian government propaganda outlets (, cf. ), and deleting information describing rebel advances (, cf. )

A check with banned sock-nuisance User:ChronicalUsual may be of use if the link with Deonis comes up negative, but I don't think it will. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 01:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC) Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 01:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Definitely Deonis. Geolocates to Ukraine, copy-pastes copyrighted material into articles (what Deonis's initial block was for). The IP is dynamic, so blocking it won't do much (unless it's a rangeblock). Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 14:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Being familiar with this sockmaster, I can hear the loud quacking and am about to block this IP; for future reference, however, it's a good idea to provide a couple of diffs to show the similarities in editing patterns or you make it impossible for someone unfamiliar with the master to impose blocks.

 * Admin assistance requested. Right. So the two listed accounts look like socks to me, and blocks would be appreciated. I will have to note that the diffs Alhanuty presented were not as helpful as I would have hoped. The pattern between the socks seems to be clear: making edits (usually favorable to the Syrian government), especially on Module:Syrian Civil War detailed map, which is a highly technical page that serves maps of the ongoing war in Syria, with edit summaries that include a terse, brief rationale citing a usually-unreliable plain link, sometimes even Twitter.

Suspected sockpuppets


This IP made this edit requesting a sockpuppet investigation of user Ракал, three and a half hours after Deonis 2012 made this edit requesting a sockpuppet investigation of user Ракал. Due to being blocked, Deonis could only edit on his talk page, so in order to start an investigation on Ракал's page, he had to log out and use an IP address to do so. This same IP has made remarks on my user talk page as well as several other users who edit pages Deonis2012 was very active on under the confirmed sockpuppet account Hanibal911. This IP also edited the Syrian Civil War Detailed Map talk page, which Deonis2012 edited under his sock account Hanibal911. That last request could also constitute meatpuppetry, since he is requesting that other users make edits for him since he is unable to do so. Pbfreespace3 (talk) 15:02, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
I think Mehmedsons is yet another sockpuppet of Deonis. Remember, Deonis liked to edit articles on the Syrian Civil War, and he was notorious for being pro-government and making pro-government edits. His sockpuppet IP address made an edit on the 12th of June. This IP address was first banned for 48 hours on June 12. The user account "Mehmedsons" was first created on 4:36 on June 16, which was after the 48 hour ban had expired. Deonis's IP was fully banned for 2 weeks at 11:24 on June 16. Mehmedsons made his first edit on June 16 at 5:24, just 11 hours before Deonis' IP was banned. Now if we imagined this account might be Deonis', what would we expect his first mainspace edit to look like? Well, it might be on a Syria article. If you take a look at Mehmedsons' later contributions, you can see that all of his edits were on articles related to the Syrian Civil War, just like Deonis. His language is very pro-government, and he even wrote on a talk page about some towns that Deonis' confirmed sockpuppet IP address talked about just 2 days before.

Hay Pbfreespace3 I am not SOCK! Mehmedsons (talk) 20:32, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Administrators must a punish Pbfreespace3 for the fact that he called me a sock. I am outraged!!!!!!!! Mehmedsons (talk) 20:43, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Yet another characteristic of Deonis2012: he could not write English very well. Note the misspellings and lack of articles. Pbfreespace3 (talk) 21:20, 20 June 2016 (UTC) And now he edits some towns from government control to ISIS control on the Syria Map to cover up his obvious bias. He could then use this to claim he's not pro-government. We need a checkuser. Pbfreespace3 (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Did you compare it to Hanibal911 or Deonis' though? I think you should. Pbfreespace3 (talk) 01:07, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Pbfreespace3 still accuse me without any reasons and it is a very insulting for me. So I am ask administrations to take action against him and punish him for this. It is a personal attack against me. And I am realy do not understand why he is doing this, in what's his problem? Yes I live in Turkey and my English is not a good but this not reason insult me. Mehmedsons (talk) 06:16, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I am very sorry for this, Mehmedsons. We, the editors at the Syrian Civil War Map, have been having many difficulties with a Russian editor who was banned and has made many socks to edit after he was banned. I thought you might be one, but now I don't think so. Again, sorry for the trouble. Pbfreespace3 (talk) 17:54, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Mehmedsons is ❌ to the accounts blocked on June 9, 2016, in the archives. Also, the IP highlighted by the filer geolocates to a different part of the world from the IP blocked by on June 16.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
