 * - A shit ton of globally locked accounts pointing back to WaterSnail. I've hit the range hard to stop the activity locally. Another CU might wanna follow up with something on CU-l. --  DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  00:40, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Please file this case and four accounts under Ginsuloft. I don't see any purpose in listing each of the dozens of accounts I saw, some of which are already listed in the Ginsuloft archive. The range these are on has been blocked by another admin. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:50, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

History comparison of User:User 47/sandbox and User:User 38/sandbox is evidence. May be a malicious bot. They both edit at extraordinary speed. Hitro  talk  18:23, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' There are many more involved in this. See Administrators'_noticeboard and Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents. You need to check-user to look for sleepers. Voceditenore (talk) 19:18, 24 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I added User: Hotcoldsweetbitter because this account immediately re-created Swimming at the 1999 Pan American Games – Women's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay (temp) shortly after I deleted it during cleanup of User 38's page moves. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:44, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Based on this finding, WaterSnail gets promoted to indef blocked. Favonian (talk) 20:54, 24 February 2014 (UTC)


 * would you mind confirming your findings onwiki? Clerks, please hold off on closing this. Rschen7754 06:17, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

 * If a clerk could merge everything to Ginsuloft (there's a new CUrequest too) that would be appreciated. --Rschen7754 04:05, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Obvious pattern of similar vandalism. Especially since the Trieddyson and Request789 accounts were created together, please check for sleepers. Thanks! NawlinWiki (talk) 04:19, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

 * I tried to rename the investigation but it didn't work; an admin will have to do that. Nevertheless, I've tagged them all as socks/IP#s of  Ginsuloft.  See also . It's CLEARLY him. —  This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 22:11, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

This editor has caused major disruption on Wikipedia during the past 2 days, posting Nazicock multiple times from IP#s and accounts, mostly on the article Swamp. See also. Please find out just how many accounts and Ip#s are involved for a solid block. Thanks in advance! — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 15:16, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Mass moving of pages from "true page name" to "true page name On Rollers" (capitalisations vary), 41 in 17 minutes which is a rate of one every 24 seconds, which might mean an automated script. This is a modus operandi resembling the last lot of page moves by Ginsuloft's socks, although not as fast as some e.g. who managed 222 moves in 8 minutes, which is a rate of one every two seconds. PurplePrawn97 was indef blocked by at 16:59 today - filing this so that my suspicions are on record. Not sure whether to requesting checkuser so that maybe a few more sleepers can be flushed out.

 * - - for a sleeper check, and please forward results to CU-l so global actions can be taken. Rschen7754 22:54, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * He's hopping a bunch of ranges. Based on behavior and CU, it's quite . In any event, leave him blocked as an obvious vandal sockpuppet of someone. Reaper Eternal (talk) 00:34, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

I wasn't sure whether to open this case under User:Ginsuloft or his most similar sockpuppet, which is User:Cantseeshit. I went with the master. Same exact style of such an offensive insult (copied/pasted multiple times and posted again and again) that the edit summaries had to be removed. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 19:46, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added Quitomiro. Obviously the same person. Both blocked and gagged. Favonian (talk) 19:52, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Two newest socks added. —  This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 20:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
