[edit] Instantnood

  • Code letter: B.

Editing pattern is too close for comfort. There is no way this is a new user.

  • Instantnood lately only edits on Saturdays HK time for a long period, then goes mostly goes dormant for a week, this new account shows up exactly on that schedule. Instantnood made one single edit during the middle of this new user [1].
  • New account instantly new advanced template syntax as their very first edit, then went on to do other advanced syntax stuff (templates, etc).
  • New account targeted recent (within hours) articles edited by myself [2], Alanmak [3] and Huaiwei [4], who Instantnood always checks contribs on.
  • New account made exactly the types of edits Instantnood is famous for, recreating mainland China categories, removing chinese language infoboxes, etc.
  • New account targeted articles Instantnood recently targeted
  • New account targeted category revisions that Instantnood has fixated on
  • New account went to 3 reverts, but never over, in bouts of revert warring on several articles.

Inconclusive: Michael edits exclusively from Tor, which means IP evidence means nothing. You'll have to present your evidence to WP:ANI and ask for an admin(s) to make a judgment call. Dmcdevit·t 09:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Instantnood

I blocked Instantnood for 7 days for violating his probation. I was advised of another account of User:Temporarily that states it is a sock of Instant for the purposes of voting in a CfD and therefore evading a block. I would like some confirmation if there is any evidence this is a sock of Insntantood, I don't see the statement on the user page reliable as this would be a very good way of making Instant look bad. --Wgfinley 06:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

It's possible; they use the same Hong Kong ISP. However, I believe the IP addresses we see are the ISP's proxies, and other users who don't appear to be Instantnood also use them, so the results are not definitive. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 13:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
