Jimbo Wales (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

PauloHelene and other socks

They are continuously making poor quality of translations in Korean. Because of a number of editions, Translations in Korean are becoming unrestorable. Their patterns of edits are:

  • Using terms which don't exist in Korean language.
  • Not fit in Korean grammar.
  • Using machine translation which is considered as evil in Korean due to low quality of translation.
  • Choosing improper words in translations
  • Translations might be contradict to English version.

Please investigate his socks to keep translations under safety. cf) These users are blocked in both Korean and Japanese wikipedia because of their destructive contributions(I don't know whether this terms should be used) in translation. I think they are for block evasion in Meta to avoid to meet Korean or Japanese administrators. Kwj2772 (msg) 16:11, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Evgeny "Drbug" Genkin

This user's name impersonates two ruwiki sysops, EvgenyGenkin and Drbug. Besides, he sent me an email about the article Калан which is the center of a large conflict involving abusive proxy puppets. I ask for a crosswiki check because he may be either a sockpuppet of a ruwiki user or another open proxy puppet. --Cvz1 08:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No other accounts found, but I've locked the account in any event.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 14:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I understand, there are many messages like that were sent. I don't think that there's much sense in checking all the accounts used to send them - it won't help preventing abuses anyway, so I guess that checking them is simply time wasting. :-( Dr Bug (Vladimir V.

Suspected related users
Rationale
Comment Comment I was actually thinking last night about asking for one. It may be coincidental but the first thing they brought to mind was the problems with Meta:Requests_for_CheckUser_information/Archives/2009-09#Nstm.2C_MS7.40metawiki. They seem to have a similar geographical location as the IPs and similar MO's with the constant Requests. Jamesofur 19:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I forgot to request ask for a relationship between those accounts. The pattern of disruption of those accounts are really similar. Please check against those ones too. Thanks, — df| 19:47, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I looked on enwiki and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/MOORS is  Confirmed as him. I don't know if he's done anything crosswiki, though. J.delanoygabsadds 20:05, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
