 * I think we can be pretty sure admin Nakon is not a Grawp sock. Dragons flight (talk) 21:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * Say I'm clueless... but what in the heck am I supposed to do? (What is your ideal result of this case?) Do you want those IPs blocked? I understand you say its grawp, and because its him its a lot of users/accounts I'm just not sure what is considered standard practice here. If we want the IPs blocked, I'll need to do some proxy checks first (The IPs are likely proxies). ——  nix eagle email me 14:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You may find a proxy, or two. My guess would be that most of the IPs came from /b/. -- Kanonkas :  Talk 20:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well I'm not fully sure of what the appropriate action is...I'm not an admin...but I believe that at least the users should be perm blocked.Smallman12q (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Forgive me for asking, but what exactly is the point of this? It appears that all the non-IPs are blocked (if any are not, please let me know ASAP), and just a quick look shows that most of them are obviously Jarl/Grawp -- see User:LucyPinder001 for an example.   Why go to the effort of posting all those notices to blocked users, not to mention making extra work here? NawlinWiki (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Mayalld (talk) 22:27, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * The one thing that you can say about Grawp is that he never tries to hide his socks. As such, they need no investigation, and can simply be blocked on sight, with little fuss. Per WP:DENY, I'm delisting this case, in the sure knowledge that Grawp socks will continue to vandalise, and will continue to be blocked for their vandalism without needing to concern ourselves with the question of whether it is Grawp or a copycat.

 * Evidence submitted by Kingturtle (talk)

Slip Stupid is engaging in behavior consistent with previous incarnations of JarlaxleArtemis or of JarlaxleArtemis imitators. A) The immediate creation of comprehensive new articles, especially of high schools and of Recent changes article requests; B) The immediate smattering of his userpage with infoboxes, including the usual "This user is opposed to communism in both theory and practice."

 * This doesn't seem like JA to me. Only once do I recall JA using an account to make more than the minimum 10 or so edits to get autoconfirmed, and that was his single "good hand" account.  Also, JA has no history of creating high school articles as far as I know.  NawlinWiki (talk) 03:29, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Been seeing a lot of these springing up as of late; the notes left on my talk page and that of others make this fairly clear who's behind this, directly or indirectly.

I've been up all night trying to master how to publish an article. I finally get my article all properly formatted and somebody says I'm a "vandalizing" and "sockpuppeting"??? My understanding is that sockpuppetting means somebody thinks I'm using multiple usernames? I'm not. But how could I possibly prove that? And how can my accuser possibly prove guilt? This whole thing is a little ridiculous. If you have a problem with the actual article and its contents, please, let's talk about that.

These accounts, and several more, have been adding abusive comments and threats to Peace Now and Talk:Peace Now. After several SPAs and IPs were blocked, the suspected puppeteer (Urbanmeans), who had been created six months ago, made ten innocuous edits in order to become auto-confirmed, and then moved the article to a highly abusive name.

This on my talk page and the 40 odd emails I got from the sock. "Fucking Eurofilth, I hope all you Europeans and Arabs get exterminated. For two thousand years, you scum have tried to exterminate us and failed. First the Romans, massacring six hundred thousand Jews in Jerusalem and spreading us across the Roman Empire as slaves. Then the pogroms by Cossack, Polish, and Russian barbarians. Then the German trash. Yet you failed every time. And that was just some of the things happening in Europe. All the while in the East we were forced to live as dhimmis under Muslim rule. Now that we have finally rebuilt Israel, you Europeans will never be able to destroy us. We will nuke you hateful scum into oblivion if you try. Furthermore, the Arabs and Muslims will never get to rule us again. Now it's their turn to be ruled. Let them be servants for a change! Long live Israel! Fuck Eurotrash and Islamofilth!

Whose land are you occupying, Christian? If you come from the Americas, Australia, or New Zealand, you and your ancestors are guilty of crimes against humanity by stealing land via genocide. And if you come from Europe, you and yours are guilty of two thousand years of genocide against Jews. YOU have no room to talk, European Christian.

The Palestinians are an artificially created entity, manufactured by the Arabs, to destroy Israel. They never have been and never will be a nation. They can have all the U.N. groups like UNESCO try to create the illusion that they're a real nation. But in the end, all those moves are meaningless. They will never, ever, destroy or reduce Israel, even if Israel has weak leaders." Obvious sock IMO Facts, not fiction (talk) 05:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Dnwnfowno's edits were at least to my talk page and have been redacted by thers. Contents was notified in email and was racist

The IP editor abuse seems limited(!) to unpleasant talk page messages

For the IP editors see:


 * diff 1
 * diff 2
 * diff 3

User is obviously using a proxy server to create mayhem in the same racist and disrputive manner

and Milesgive3030- is currently still sending abusing emails. A true joy, this lot Fiddle Faddle (talk) 09:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

 * as this abuse appears to be originating from proxies, I don't see any evidence that checkuser would be helpful in this case. There is very little more we can do other than to whack-a-mole, with hardblocks on the IP addresses.

Sleeping sockpuppet account now being used to re-add the personal attacks on Carolmooredc, some of which were reported in the previous (non-checkuser) case (26 December, Echigo mole). There the attacks were added by open proxy ips and rev-delled by Elockid. I have informed him of these new attacks on his talk page. Mathsci (talk) 08:39, 27 December 2012 (UTC)


 * The trolling on Elockid's talk page, after this report was made, confirms that this is Echigo mole. Mathsci (talk) 08:46, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I actually believe this is User:JarlaxleArtemis. --Bsadowski1 09:52, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, hard to explain the one rev-delled edit here, where all the other edits match those of Echigo mole. But the attacks by that blocked proxy on Elockid and on Carolmooredc are not characteristic of Echigo mole. Mathsci (talk) 10:00, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The trolling you mentioned above is characteristic of Jarlaxle. --Bsadowski1 10:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The removing of tags with WP:HUSH in edit summaries and the use of multiple open proxies are typical of Echigo mole. Only the edit on an article talk page is atypical. Why should he look for taggings of suspected Mikemikev or Echigo mole ipsocks? Possibly he's experimenting with a new persona. Mathsci (talk) 10:11, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

The usual. He's probably using a proxy, but we ought to check for sleepers anyway. Also, note that User:Lauriacts and all those socks are also JA, and that SPI page probably should be merged here. Thanks! NawlinWiki (talk) 15:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
