[edit] Cplot 2nd Request

Also these (from the Cplot sockpuppet case):

See [[Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Cplot] ]for complete list. We just need to shut him down until his disruptor attention span expires. --Tbeatty 03:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

We need an IP range to block. --Tbeatty 00:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

See WP:ANI#Now_I_know_where_all_those_missing_socks_went. ClownsAreCowards is a new account created after the range blocks. User might be on another Sprint PCS or other ISP range now? Feel free to e-mail me, if this needs to be discussed privately. --Aude (talk) 22:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Note:. I'm working on it. Please stand by. Mackensen (talk) 00:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Take your time. The block on those two IP ranges seems to help (another 24+ hours for it), though not 100%. There may be some other ranges we are missing, that need to be blocked if the problem persists. Range blocks are regrettable, but needed if the ISP doesn't work with us. Given Essjay's previous reply, I don't think there are many other users on those ranges. Any advice on all this would most appreciated. Thank you for assisting. --Aude (talk) 00:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Without going into all the gory details (and my, are they gory), this fellow has availed himself of over a half-dozen different ISPs within the greater Chicago area, so actually nailing him will prove complicated. I concur in the range-blocks of 68.30.0.0/16 and 70.8.0.0/16; if these have lapsed they need to be re-imposed immediately. In addition, I have pinpointed a couple Illinois Comcast addresses which I'll be hitting with lengthy disruption blocks. There are a couple other public IPs that would cause too much collateral damage. Mackensen (talk) 00:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

These probably include Illinois Century Networks and the Comcast IP listed on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Cplot. Cplot seemed to come out in force last night when the range blocks lapsed. Whatever you judge best to do is fine with me. Thank you for working on this. Most appreciated. --Aude (talk) 01:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Cplot

  • Code letter: CF

User:Cplot has been indefinitely blocked for trolling, personal attacks, incivility, and disruption on articles relating to the September 11, 2001 attacks. See WP:ANI#Block review requeste for details. These IPs listed have been editing various policy and project pages, such as the Help Desk and Village pump (news), and Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#US_Authorities_on_Wikipedia.3F Village pump (miscellaneous) and targeting user talk pages. [3]

The IPs come from Sprint PCS. I think perhaps the user has sprint wireless broadband, where the IP changes each time one logs on the Internet. It only takes a minute to log off and on again, so the user can repeatedly do that and evade blocks. As a result, Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks has been semi-protected.

While blocking may not be the answer, I'd like this pursued further, such as on WP:ABUSE, if this is Cplot evading his/her indef block. --Aude (talk) 01:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I have blocked a few:

But, the user comes back after a couple minutes with a new IP. --Aude (talk) 02:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Note: Cplot is definately in the 68.30 /16, there is no sign of him in 70.8.0.0/16. User:HowAboutThisNameThen, who was blocked yesterday, is also in that /16. The good news is, there isn't much of anyone else in the /16's, so if they are creating problems, an anon-only block of either or both (keep it short) would be fine. Essjay (Talk) 09:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you.--MONGO 09:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
