Suspected sockpuppets

The account 94.200.83.10 exhibits similar behaviour to User:Gugrak and User:Baseboom returning today to an article that both accounts previously edit warred over at Ben Roberts-Smith. Both User:Gugrak and User:Baseboom are confirmed sockpuppets of User:Orchomen. Editor interaction analyser shows that 94.200.83.10 has shared editing interest on three articles with User:Gugrak. 94.200.83.10 has admitted here and here that the other IPs are them. All three IPs geolocate to United Arab Emirates in line with previous use of IP addresses by this editor. TarnishedPathtalk 11:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC) TarnishedPathtalk 11:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've blocked the IPs for varying lengths. Please don't request CU when alleging sock puppetry by IPs. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 12:28, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Refer to Special:Diff/1223139631 where 2001:8F8:1B69:1AFD:B867:D644:BDE9:4E10 replies to comments I made in reference to the blocked sock IPs using the words "I have never ...". 2001:8F8:1B69:1AFD:B867:D644:BDE9:4E10 appears to be on the 2001:8F8:1B69:0:0:0:0:0/49 subnet and IPs from that subnet have already received blocks as part of last report.
Block log from above subnet shows that it has received a recent block for edit warring on multiple articles (there seems to be cross over with those articles and Orchomen/Gugrak's known interests).
An editor at Special:Diff/1219611773 notes that 92.97.74.100 (recently blocked as a sock of Orchoment) is also operating on the 2001:8F8:1B69:0:0:0:0:0/49 subnet. TarnishedPathtalk 06:10, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
31.219.94.144 has just outed themselves on my user talk with the edit at Special:Diff/1223164767. Like many previous IPs this geolocates to UAE. TarnishedPathtalk 09:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23, I just came across an historical block log. They've been operating on that subnet for a long time. TarnishedPathtalk 13:43, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've converted the IPv6 to /64 and blocked the range for one month. The 31. IP is already blocked for one week. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 13:29, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @TarnishedPath: With the exception of a very short block in 2020, the other blocks were all pblocks. Looking at the range now, there's too much collateral damage to block it sitewide.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They've recently edited Talk:Ben Roberts-Smith at Special:Diff/1226063608. The article is known to be one that Orchomen goes back to and the first IP geolcates to UAE which is known to be where IP edits by Orchomen generally geolocate to. Second IP they've just edited from geolocates to Sweden but was used to restore a comment by the first IP (refer to Special:Diff/1226065517). TarnishedPathtalk 10:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2.49.38.187 has disruptively commented on my user talk at Special:Diff/1226940783 (reverting conversations that I had previously archived) and Special:Diff/1226941211 (casting WP:ASPERSIONS without evidence. Sockmaster has been known to disruptively edit user talks of other editors in the past. IP geolocates to UAE like many of the IPs that the sockmaster has been known to use. TarnishedPathtalk 00:31, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: 31.219.133.189 has recently commented on a CTOP notice I left for another editor at Special:Diff/1227055135. Again this IP geolocates to UEA and the behaviour of following edits around to harass them is known to the sockmaster. TarnishedPathtalk 12:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've blocked for harassment. Consider reporting IPs to AIV instead if you want quick relief. Izno (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
