[edit] Pflanzgarten

Code letters:

  • C: Diffs throughout Jim Clark history.
  • E: All of the aforementioned diffs in Jim Clark are reverts.
  • F: The blockee has not engaged in any discussion.

A revisit of the already-blocked Pflanzgarten case... My hope is that sleeper socks can be found by Checkuser and pre-emptively blocked so Jim Clark could at least be left on semi-protect. Otherwise, long term full protection may be necessary. (Essjay suggested I try here.)

The same sockery is going on at de:Jim Clark and included de:Benutzer:Pflanzgarten.

Edit counts are well into the hundreds.

History/evidence (chronological):

Any assistance would be appreciated. It would be a shame to have to fully protect the article over such silliness. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Note: Obviously, I can't check tens of thousands of IPs and block everyone using them, so what would be best here is to list the accounts he's used most recently, and the IPs he's currently using, and I can check from there. If he's skipping around ranges, though, there is no way I can find him without blocking a lot of innocent users. Essjay (Talk) 07:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: As requested by Essjay; the ones above edited since Dec 1, those below haven't. As Wknight noted, they are in reverse chronological order. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 01:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
In de:Jim Clark, it always seems to be de:Benutzer:Coventry Climax and de:Benutzer:Pflanzgarten, neither of whom appear to have been blocked despite all this. —Wknight94 (talk) 13:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Note: Here's what I've done: I found one stable IP, blocked it for a month, and blocked all the accounts created on it in one fell swoop. I've also checkusered the /16 being used by the others, and blocked it anon-only for a month. There will probably be more socks editing out of it until he runs out, but he can't create any more from that /16, so it should dry up soon. If not, come back and we'll look for more. Additionally, as they are caught, mention them here and I'll check to make sure he hasn't changed IPs. Essjay (Talk) 01:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pflanzgarten

These accounts have only been used to edit one article - Jim Clark. The same edit/revert is always made (at least since Aug-4). Pflanzgarten was blocked for 3RR on Sept-17 (24hr) (WP:AN3) and has not since edited. Burneville was blocked for 3RR on Sept-26 (12hr) (WP:AN3) and again on Sept-27 (48hr) (talk page). Zandvoort began making the same edits later on Sept-27 (22 hours later) and was blocked on Sept-28 (48hr) (WP:AN3). If Zandvoort is same as Burneville, then this is clear policy voilation of attempted block evasion. After Midnight 0001 03:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

User:Pflanzgarten is back after the block - with the identical revert. -- Ian Dalziel 01:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
User:Pflanzgarten is again as of 1st October still reverting this article in an identical manner to the above mentioned suspected socks. M100 10:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
