Evidence submitted by Rami R
166.205.0.0/16 have been continuously replacing pictures of Barack Obama w/ images of monkeys.. Today L-Tyrosine (a semi-inactive account) and Nibbo_2 (a completely inactive account up until now) both edited the Barack Obama article (which is semi-protected) to replace his image w/ that of a silver-back gorilla. If we assume good faith, these are compromised accounts that should be blocked. However, if we assume the worst, these accounts are VoAs, a sock-puppeteer's drawer-socks. If this is the case, a checkuser is needed to find any other socks.

Nibbo_2 is tagged on his user and user_talk pages as a sockpuppet of Noface1. This was added by 90.210.6.191. Nibbo_2 himself has edited Noface1's user page.  Rami  R  15:43, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * L-Tyrosine has resumed vandalizing and has been blocked for one week. Given likelihood that this is a compromised account or a VoA, one week seems insufficient.  Rami  R  13:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

 * - Not concerned about Noface, since that edit is pretty old and Noface hasn't edited recently. CU can't do anything with that anyway. Does seem worth a check to determine if these accounts are compromised, and if there are others. Both listed should probably be blocked. Nathan  T 19:54, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Avraham, what about User:Noface1 and the associated IP? MuZemike 22:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC)


 * -Both Noface1 and the IP listed with it.

Conclusions
This one is a little complicated, and while I think I have them, I wouldn't mind another pair of eyes JiC.

All registered accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged. IPs left alone, as the range is too busy for a rangeblock. MuZemike 22:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Vexorg
Hi there. User:BlueSal was previously blocked for being a sock puppet of User:Nibbo 2. I noticed the user User:BlueSal making hit and run removals of info from articles. After User:BlueSal was blocked user:BobYelena sprung up and started editing as on obvious continuation from User:BlueSal

Sorry for any mistakes in this report. First time I've tried to complete one.

 * BobYelena is obviously not a new user, made a non-newbie edit one minute after registration. Clearly similar interests, making almost the exact same edits: Sal: Bob: . Icewedge (talk) 16:20, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
