Pure WP:DUCK case (note the admission on Jrs1200's talk page), with everyone already blocked, but this guy is persistent, so I'd like to see if there's an underlying IP we can block to take care of this. &mdash;Kww(talk) 23:37, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, it's hard for me to tell one overly enthusiastic Selena Gomez fan from another, hence the checkuser request. RickyYayo3 has been one of those overly enthusiastic child editors since the beginning, creating article after article about remixes of Selena Gomez songs, Selena Gomez tracks from soundtrack articles, as well as adding all things Gomez inappropriately to places that may or may not need information about Gomez at all. This fascination includes the relatively obscure article Naturally (Dave Aude Remix), created by Jerome0012 (an overly enthusiastic Selena Gomez fan, blocked for abusive editing), and only edited by Jerome0012 and RickyYayo3. ‎The only reason that I don't block on a WP:DUCK basis is that while to me the Dave Aude remix of a Selena Gomez single is an obviously obscure tell-tale article topic, it's possible that if I was a tween that ate, breathed, and slept Selena Gomez that this would be an obviously important and earth-shattering topic. &mdash;Kww(talk) 17:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Same locus of interest, same generally useless style of editing. Only reason I don't block as a duck is that Jerome had previously identified his location as Chicago, and this IP doesn't correlate to that. &mdash;Kww(talk) 17:13, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Checkuser does not connect accounts to IP addresses. No CU action to take here. Frank &#124;  talk  18:44, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * That statement does not accurately reflect checkuser policy: checkusers are not run against IPs routinely, but are when necessary. I'll go ahead and hardblock the IP for a month. If you think that the IP is not related, feel free to unblock it.&mdash;Kww(talk) 20:00, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I should have written it thus: Checkuser policy does not permit public comment that would connect a user account with a specific IP address. Checkuser certainly looks to make these connections all the time, but publicly revealing such results in connection directly with an IP address is not something a checkuser should ever do under any circumstances that I know of. The policy I am referring to (and the only one under which I perform any checkuser activity) is at CheckUser_policy.


 * To the second part of your comment ("If you think that the IP is not related, feel free to unblock it."), I want to explicitly say this: since I declined to run the checkuser at all, I have no opinion one way or the other. My comment on the matter is that there is no CU action to take, and I did not take any CU action.


 * If you find my interpretation of policy to be somehow incorrect, please let me know. Frank  &#124;  talk  20:30, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Behaviour makes this a WP:DUCK case, but this is getting out of hand. Requesting checkuser so that an underlying IP can be blocked. &mdash;Kww(talk) 03:39, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Kww has blocked and tagged the sock. I don't think there's anything more that can be accomplished at SPI. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   02:48, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Enough fascination with making useless and/or defective edits to Selena Gomez articles combined with enough useless renames (compare http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=move&user=Jerome0012&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_review_log=1 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=move&user=Yukibla&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter= ) to get my suspicions way up. Not quite comfortable with a WP:DUCK block, though. &mdash;Kww(talk) 22:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Same geographical locations plus same types of edits make this a likely possibility that they're the same person. –MuZemike 22:07, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

This should be enough evidence to qualify for a CheckUser look.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  01:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
