SamuelBilu (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) removed an RFV tag (and the discussion from the RFV page!) out of process for luftgeschaeft, for which I blocked them. Now RandalKeithNorton (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) has tried removing the tag as well - I suspect these are all accounts of the same person who insists we document this word. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 09:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Homiebro (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) as well — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 11:24, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Surjection: This is a bit messy. These are all the same country, with the non-cellphone IPs in the same location and the cellphone IPs consistent with that location, if broader in area. RandallKeithNorton and SamuelBilu are probably the same person: the first logged out, then the second was created and edited using the same IP. They used different browsers and the IP was a proxy, so it's not 100%. It's also possible they were two people sharing the same internet connection. Homiebro seems to be a different person, but geographically in the same area. I do think they knew each other. My best guess is that Homiebro came up with the idea of removing the tags, then RandallKeithNorton eventually followed suite, first as SamuelBilu, then with their own account when SamuelBilu was blocked.

SeaGrassSea (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks); potentially block evasion of SnivyPokemon (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks). — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 07:27, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

A Hungarian IP, creating a lot of stubs for minor languages. I suspect this is User:Rajkiandris evading the block. Vahag (talk) 18:15, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Vahagn Petrosyan: Plausible, but the data the checkuser tool looks at only goes back 90 days and it's been a year and a half since they were blocked. I make a point of keeping data from most of my checks for future reference, but I never had reason to run a check on that account before it went stale.

• Equinox (talk • contribs)

I recommend oversight/suppression of this edit. Generally, sharing user-generated files like this isn't allowed. Also, this file possibly contains personal attacks or outing of other editors. We don't have oversight as a user right and this seemed the closest place Purplebackpack89 01:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I looked through it- pretty harmless. There's one zip file that might contain questionable content, but it's password-protected. Equinox has gone off the rails more than once, but always in an impulsive, uncontrolled manner. He just doesn't do devious, scheming things like that. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Chuck Entz "Equinox has gone off the rails more than once, but always in an impulsive, uncontrolled manner" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, particularly since hate slurs were part of his impulses. People have been indeffed for less. Sometimes it feels like there's one set of rules for people like Equinox and one set for the rest of us. Purplebackpack89 14:57, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

There are all kinds of bad things people do here, but oversighting is only for ones that involve violations of privacy or very serious legal transgressions that need to be hidden even from admins. Your reasoning seems to be that there might be something bad in the file because Equinox might be trying to sneak in something improper. My point was that Equinox has never been known to try to sneak anything in, so that's just not plausible. Chuck Entz (talk) 15:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Purplebackpack89: "Generally, sharing user-generated files like this isn't allowed." According to? Ioaxxere (talk) 15:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wiktior (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks), probably Word0151 (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks). — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 11:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Likewise सम्पादकजी (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks). — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 11:14, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Surjection Although all three geolocate to the same general region, सम्पादकजी is on a different ISP and geolocates to a specific city that neither of the other two have geolocated near. There's no conclusive evidence on the back end linking Wiktior, but at least they have used a couple of the same IP ranges, albeit months apart, and the device information is close enough that they could be the same- allowing for OS changes in between. In general, browser and OS/network software have been finding ways to progressively eliminate some of the most useful identifying information in web interactions, so it's not as easy to be sure of anything anymore. So Wiktior is a judgment call, but सम्पादकजी is not all that likely. I can't rule out that the latter might be the same person consistently using a different device that geolocates differently because it's using a different ISP, but that's nothing the checkuser tool can say much about.

Kulinkuu (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks). Probably same as:

• Kamen Ugalj (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks)
• Zhunov316 (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks)
• Peuro (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks)
• and many others, including IP editing

@Surjection: Kamen Ugalj (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) and Peuro (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) are stale, so your guess is as good as mine. I can confirm that Zhunov316 (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks), Ekoprav (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) and Dunav1918 (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) are all the same, but their IPs geolocate literally a thousand miles away from Kulinkuu (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks)'s. The latter doesn't seem to overlap with anyone. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Zulwobur (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks)

Looks a lot like the above editors (not Kulinkuu, but the others) in editing behaviour . Thadh (talk) 21:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Thadh: It's entirely possible. The IP addresses are different, but they geolocate to the same country. The device details are basically the same, but that's not as conclusive as it used to be- still very suggestive, though. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:14, 12 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! Thadh (talk) 22:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Might be PdL:

• Hüseynəli12 2 (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks)
• پاکستانی صارف (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks)

These two accounts definitely seem related, and possibly also to recent IP blocks, but I know I cannot ask for that. Regardless, if just these two accounts are linked, I think that can be considered sufficient evidence for abusing multiple accounts, and by extension, block evasion. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 18:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Auteuil-Passy (talk • contribs • global account info • deleted contribs • nuke • abuse filter log • page moves • block • block log • active blocks) is definitely also related. I'm not sure if this is PdL or someone else, although the editing patterns are very similar. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 19:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
