[edit] Goodandevil

The Ann Coulter article has been underattack from what appear to be sockpuppets evading a 3RR block. Gamaliel 22:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: Refactored/fixed. Kevin_b_er 22:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Look here for many many many more suspected IPs, all within the 84.146.200's range. --kizzle 23:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Note: I'd call this two different sets of sockpuppets, for lack of definitive proof. The 136.* address belongs to an American military unit based in Germany (Mannheim), which suggests a correlation with the Deutsche Telekom IP addresses. These are probably Goodandevil socks, but without recent edits from that account I can't say for sure. The other accounts all belong to one user, but possibly a different user. I'll be posting a full list of socks that user shortly. Mackensen (talk) 23:21, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

What's interesting is if you do a google search for 84.146.x.x you get a bunch of german sites as well... which would coincidentally link to 136 geographically at least.--kizzle 23:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, as I indicated, those are Deutsche Telekom IPs. Mackensen (talk) 23:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, didn't catch that you said that :) --kizzle 23:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like a bunch of sleeper accounts to me. --kizzle 23:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

There's been repeated edits/vandalism (depending on viewpoint) of Abortion, Samuel Alito, Miscarriage and Kwanzaa from this user and these IPs. We have reason to believe that the IPs and user name belong to one and the same person, as the edits and edit summaries are often of a similar style. The edit summaries are often used to hide the nature of the edit in question, usually by accusing people of POV or simply by making it appear as if it were maintenance according to standard policy. The edits themselves have been of a "right-wing" nature, introducing subtle but apparently deliberate POV into the above articles. He/she is prone to revert wars, as well as accusing admins of bias and violation of policy simply because of a warning. Suggestions have been made that this user is linked to the recent Free Republic incident, in which users at that site were incited to come and "bring balance" to Wikipedia. We need to know if this user name corresponds to any of these IPs, and/or any similar ones. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs Germany 22:17, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Adding that the user ignores con, frequently ignores cite, v, and accuracy, has ignored civil, 3rr, etc. Disruptive user. KillerChihuahua?!? 22:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
3RR has now officially been broken on Abortion by user and suspected sockpuppets as of 10:08, December 14, 2006 (UTC), with reverts at least eight times in 24 hours. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs Germany 05:37, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
The 136. IP is allocated to the US Army 5th Signal Command in Mannheim, Germany; the 84.146. IPs are all part of a dynamic range allocated to a German IP; it is reasonably probable (even without examining CheckUser evidence) that the IPs are all the same person given the edit history of each. I don't seen enough evidence of a policy violation of the sort that would justify using CheckUser to find out if these IPs are being used by Goodandevil. Jamyskis used {{time}} to specify the time of the purported 3RR violation, which really doesn't help matters at all (next time, use subst:), and my own review of the article history does not reveal an obvious 3RR violation. Please lay out the 3RR violation for me. Kelly Martin (talk) 14:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, forgot the subst: link. It would follow then, based on evidence, that he or she is based in Mannheim then, and later used a computer in a flat or internet café. The 84. IP belongs to T-Online, I know this because I'm an 84. too. I miscounted slightly - at last check, there were seven not eight reverts although not always from the same IP. The text is usually of the same nature but text is usually reincluded as opposed to reverted in the true sense: the wording is always slightly different. Here are the edits in question according to IP:
User:136.215.251.179
Edits at 14:16 and 14:21 reverted by Jamyskis
Edits at 14:26, 14:39 and 14:43 reverted by Jamyskis
Edit at 15:37 reverted by KillerChihuahua
Edits at 16:43, 16:45, 16:52 reverted by Jamyskis
User:84.146.249.98
Edits at 00:00 and 00:02 reverted by Kyd
Edit at 00:14 reverted by Kyd
Edit at 00:22 reverted by Pilotguy
These edits are only the ones that have happened in a 24-hour space - this has been an ongoing topic for a while, beginning with Goodandevil's edits. The UserCheck is needed to see if any action carried out (RfC presumably to begin with) could be extended to the user name if any of the IPs checked out as being identical to Goodandevil. Better to be safe than sorry. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs Germany 22:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Seeing as though Goodandevil has no edits since January 4th, I'm declaring this one moot. Kelly Martin (talk) 18:58, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
