Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Starfox707/Archive

Evidence submitted by Closeapple
Cross-language wiki activity: This user has added "Tejb", "Tejbz", or "Tobias Ojerfålk" at least 13 times to the English article en:Piteå under at least 18 IP addresses and User:Starfox707, and at least 5 times to Swedish article sv:Piteå under at least 4 IP addresses and sv:User:Rakketakke. User ignores warnings, and often adds descriptions of this Tejb person as an online gaming "legend" and "YouTube commentator". I'm using Starfox707 as the master name because it's the only user account associated with this sockpuppet's edits in English. In addition, this may be the same user as User:Tejb, whose claims on his user page are somewhat similar to those added to the Piteå article; but the User:Tejb account itself hasn't edited Piteå yet. (CheckUser might be necessary to see if User:Tejb is a sockmaster; for the rest, it's obvious enough from the edits that they are related without needing CheckUser.)

Update &mdash; same behavior by others since this case was opened:

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
Given the low frequency of edits, and the fact that the user clearly has a massive range of IPs they edit from, there's little to be gained from blocking any of them individually. As the abuse is focused entirely on Piteå, probably best to consider semi-protecting the article if it gets worse in future. I'll keep an eye on the article, and will also block Starfox707 if he makes any further unconstructive edits. User:Tejb hasn't edited in a while and is probably too stale to run a checkuser on. Not much more to be done at this point, I think. ~ mazca  talk 13:12, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
