 * Report submission by

User:Yueyuen has been established as a sockpuppet of User:Samuel Luo, a known activitist who runs a website denouncing Falun Gong. There has been persistent vandalism on the Falun Gong article, and occasionally sister articles by different users using fairly anonymous names, mostly bearing the prefices 'G', 'US', or 'Free' followed usually by a string of numbers. The characteristic is that each "user" account is used two or three times, and then apparently abandoned so that no account ever violates WP:3RR. In actual fact, the versions of vandalised text are virtually identical. One of the user names adopted is Yueyuen3, similar to another sockpuppet account used by User:Samuel Luo. The socks appear to be active only on FG-related articles. Since before User:Samuel Luo was banned, there has been recurrent vandal activity from these socks. The table lists the vandal's attacks in chronological order.
 * Evidence

Isn't it possible just to do some IP ban of him or something? Is it possible to vandalise these pages in this fashion with an automated process?, that is, could this go on indefinitely, or are we relying on the fact that he is mortal and will tire?--Asdfg12345 07:37, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * All the listed accounts are indef blocked. I have no idea how to solve this long-term; perhaps with Checkuser assistance we can determine his ISP and file an abuse report. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
