[00:01:36] And why does that feel so familiar? We had a recent impersonation case just last week with the said impersonator doing the exact same thing: Examples are: Suddenly coming to a few of our wikis like the wonderfulbookswiki, and the Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki. I reverted the impostor's edits though. [00:09:50] I do potentially believe that about 30 minutes have gone by since the warning was handed out. [00:10:04] Oh, never mind. You already locked the account. [00:26:31] $log Removed user page of an impersonation only user account on [[mh:trashycelebritieswiki|trashycelebritieswikiwikiwiki]] [00:26:37] Saved item "Removed user page of an impersonation only user account on [[mh:trashycelebritieswiki|trashycelebritieswikiwikiwiki]]" [00:36:10] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue/19094 @Doug You're not the only to think this wasn't a good idea for BookFandumb1 to request user wikis. I am still pissed that people are still requesting these types of wikis, especially since we had a ban on Negative user wikis back in September, and for good reasons. [00:36:11] [url] Wiki requests queue - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [02:10:26] DarkMatterMan4500, yeah, and Blubabluba9990 requested similar wikis, too [02:24:11] I had a suspicion that Blubabluba9990 and BookFandumb1 were the same user because of similar wiki requests and because BookFandumb1 came out of the blue and supported Bluba on the RfC but then I found a talk page where they were arguing so my suspicions are (probably) wrong [02:31:45] Agent, yeah, I thought the same thing as you. I suspect while not sockpuppetry, they may be engaging in coordinated meatpuppetry [02:41:22] I had an earlier suspicion back in February, but it was on an unrelated user. [02:41:53] dmehus: possibly, they seem to be very close, BookFandumb1 is sysop & bureacrat in 2 (out of 3) of Blubabluba9990's wikis suggesting that they're close friends [02:42:12] yeah, they're probably just close buddies or somethign [02:51:53] Agent, yeah [02:56:48] As to including that feed on Meta, I have several issues/concerns against this, unfortunately: [02:56:48] 1) Only SRE and possibly board members have the capability to create Phame posts; thus, including this on Meta would preclude Stewards and other community-elected functionaries from providing community-oriented updates (though certainly SRE could allow Stewards to create Phame posts) [02:56:49] 2) Technically, the Phame posts aren't/can't be translated [02:56:49] 3) Content wise, the Phame posts tend to be very official Miraheze Limited business-oriented or technically-oriented. Not sure this "fits" with Meta's purpose and scope, at least on [[Miraheze]] [02:57:03] oops [02:57:05] wrong channel [10:28:54] That's quite fine Doug. [11:49:34] [[Special:CentralAuth/Polyqueerjewtrans4141444sjjsdj]] This account was set up for vandalism-only purposes, and I think there might be some sockpuppetry going around. And I think there's another user involved that made somewhat identical edits to the other: https://nonbinary.wiki/w/index.php?title=Transgender&oldid=29652 https://nonbinary.wiki/w/index.php?title=Transgender&oldid=29651 [11:49:35] https://nonbinary.wiki/w/index.php?title=Xenogender&oldid=29455 Not sure if Noggers5 has any relation, but it MIGHT be possible. [11:49:35]

They do look suspicious to me. [12:33:21] You should put that on your to do list @Doug. [13:24:44] https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Trijnstel&oldid=21684345 @Reception123 Well, my suspicions have now been confirmed. The real one confirmed that it wasn't them at all. However, Doug has locked the account last night. [13:24:45] [url] User talk:Trijnstel - Meta | meta.wikimedia.org [13:37:03] DarkMatterMan4500, yeah, they confirmed the same to me via IRC also [13:37:29] Regarding your reply above, yep, it's on my todo list, first thing. :) [13:37:41] Alright. Thanks for acknowledging that. [13:37:47] np [13:37:52] * dmehus|away is away now [15:27:03] Can you CheckUser Rambo? He's a suspected sockpuppet of the globally locked WG8686, as he follows his tradition of creating a page shortly after being confirmed. Plus, he makes major contributions to WWE-related articles, and WG8686 is a well-known fan of WWE. [15:27:52] Dude, can we just wait? We don't know for sure if it's actually him or not. [16:01:59] I believe Balki might be a sockpuppet of Zocktersrat made for the purpose of requesting wikis, Zocktersrat requested picosschool.miraheze.org yesterday but the request was declined by Doug because he had too many, then today, a new user is created, requests the same wiki, and their request is approved. It's just a tad bit suspicious, https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWikiQueue?dbname=picosschoolwiki&requester=&status=* [16:02:00] [url] Wiki requests queue - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [16:02:39] That sounds a bit far-fetched in my view to view one of them as sockpuppets. [16:03:28] possibly, but it is a bit strange that two users would request the same wiki hours from each other [16:04:06] That is highly strange, but then again, that could be possible. [16:04:32] That is true, anything is possible [16:05:20] https://picosschool.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidebots=1&limit=50&days=7&enhanced=1&urlversion=2 User rights log Balki talk contribs changed group membership for Zocktersrat from (none) to bureaucrat and administrator [16:05:21] [url] Recent changes - Pico's School Wiki | picosschool.miraheze.org [16:05:23] If not a sockpuppet, at least a meatpuppet [17:04:28] Exactly [18:33:01] Going back, I have confirmed this account is a sockpuppet of Willg8686, as his appeal on Awful Movies Wiki makes it obvious, as he gave us a VPN IP (Willg8686's sockpuppets are also known for using VPNs). If any steward wants to globally block his IP, I can DM it to you. [19:00:59] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Stewards%27%20noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=184642 Going back to what MarioMario456 has said earlier, this user really needs to be checked. [19:01:02] [url] Difference between revisions of "Stewards' noticeboard" - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [19:24:45] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Stewards%27_noticeboard&oldid=184659 Okay, this is getting ridiculous now. Rambo just entirely changed my text to make me look bad. Somebody really needs to step in now, and I'm just going to stay out of this pointless war as I don't want a repeat of what happened on June 10th. [19:24:49] [url] Stewards' noticeboard - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [19:37:46] Wow that conversation was wowing [19:38:02] We need some checkusers [19:38:23] Void already did it. [19:39:03] Okay, nice [20:47:38] [[Special:CentralAuth/-abigblueworld-]] This user started vandalizing on multiple wikis. [20:47:39]
