I request my account in ru.wp (ru:User:Edward Chernenko) to be checked for possible usage of sockpuppets. Account confirmation is here. I suspect that local checkusers have published false information about me. Edward Chernenko 13:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cornish Wiktionary

There was a flood of vandalism this morning from the following users:

kw:wikt:User:Shumpycock
kw:wikt:User:Da pikey called shanel
kw:wikt:User:Baldthryce
kw:wikt:User:Klaffour033030
kw:wikt:User:Marcus Sparaigen
kw:wikt:User:Dringziggs (this user left an obscene message on my user talkpage there, where I'm kw:wikt:User:SunStar Net.

I would like to know if this can be stopped, as there has been a repeated pattern of vandalism repeatedly. Can you block the underlying IP over there as well for me?? --WiganRunnerEu1 11:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Willy on Wheels or its follower attacked ENWQ recently and we changed the move setting from [user] to [autoconfirmed]. It might be dormant accounts, so I request for checkuser to detect those possible vandal accounts. Would you please to perform CU on q:user:Auburn Pilot, q:user:Jesus the Tank Engine and q:User:Pene Naranjo, and let us know accounts created from the same IP addresses, if appropriate? (Hmmm, we need a local page for "long-term vandals"?) --Aphaia 17:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The user operates from a pool of dynamic IP addresses assigned to Virgin Media, with each account on a different address. There is no way to block the user without the possibility of significant collateral damage, given the wide ranges involved. —{admin} Pathoschild 04:01:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your information. --Aphaia 06:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

En Wikiquote

note to checkusers: contact Pathoschild for archived data.

There has just been a recent vandal attack there (the user appears to be a punctuation mark [1]). Reading the Admin board there [2] it looks like this has happened before. I'd like to see CU run to see if there is any connection and (if appropriate) the IP blocked for a period. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. From me too I request for checkuser on the requested account as well a series of Wazz accounts, q:User:SA1 to q:User:SA11, and q:User:Mrs. Herntaq. As for discussion, q:WQ:AN#Question Regarding Use of Wikiquote for School Projects might be more relevant for this vandal whom we called "Wazz". For your information, the account Vagish is confirmed by en:user:Vagish as his or her own, so it was just coincidence. --Aphaia 16:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vagish was not related, but the following users are: group A{%DB%9D (encoded), Gartermac, Mrs. Herntaq, SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, WQAS1, WQAS2, WQAS3, WQAS4), group B{SA6, SA7, SA8, SA9, SA10, SA11, WQAA1, WQAA2). Versioning and whois indicates that the users most likely operated from a computer lab behind a dynamic proxy assigned to Carbon Lehigh Intermediate school Unit 21 (209.18.48.0/20). group A edited from various IP addresses assigned to the school, while group B seems to have used a web proxy installed on ptrhosting.com (72.232.50.146). Versioning indicates a probability that multiple persons were involved, probably students in a computer lab. —{admin} Pathoschild 03:39:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
