I'm guessing only user:Mhltv will have edited recently enough to check up on, but I think the others should also be listed here, for the record. Evasion of community-based block, see: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive95#Requesting immediate action and Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Israelbeach. 3RR violations, see the history for Michael Cherney and for Tal Aviation (deleted). Also note that user:Mhltv has added links to Joel Leyden's private website, the Israel News Agency [1], and recently created a new article about Arnon Katz who has business ties with Joel Leyden (aka Israelbeach). The above listed users' general pattern of editing conforms with Israelbeach's style of tendentious PR editing: using a host of sockpuppets to agressively promote a specific view of a particular (often barely notable) Israeli individual or organziation. --woggly 16:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Israelbeach

The malicious vandalism of my userpage by new users and IPs with an agenda typical of Israelbeach has been going on since May and includes revealing my name again and again, so that I've effectively been forced out of my anonymity on Wikipedia ("ongoing serious pattern vandalism"). As a reminder: Israelbeach was banned for revealing my name and making legal threats against me. Please check if any of the IPs known to be used by or suspected of having been used by Israelbeach are behind the two recent vandals, so the IPs can be blocked to prevent creation of yet more throwaway accounts of this nature. I've listed user:Lennys because he is the most recent suspected sockpuppet of Israelbeach to make an edit, others have not edited recently or have been blocked anyway. --woggly 07:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Woggly, I'd say you're justified in making these blocks yourself in future to save time (if you want to). Your personal information is being compromised, and you have a right to stop that as soon as you can; and it's not as though there's any doubt that Israelbeach and socks are banned. Maybe others disagree, but I think when the disruption reaches this level, it doesn't matter who does the blocking. SlimVirgin (talk) 07:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: Israelbeach, Ruachdarom, Dafka and Lennys are indef blocked. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 13:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I've added Ma'ayanbaruch, another suspected sockpuppet of Israelbeach; see his/her 2nd edit to Wikipedia, on AfD, where he/she basically proclaims that his/her only purpose here is to support Joel Leyden's (aka Israelbeach's) website [9]. I'm guessing this will be a different IP, but please check anyway. --woggly 18:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I've blocked Ma'ayanbaruch as it's clearly a sock or meat puppet. SlimVirgin (talk) 18:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bonnieisrael

A group of accounts whose edit histories are strikingly similar in timing, tone and location, largely to do with the deleted Israel News Agency (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). It's asserted that at least one is a sock of blocked Israelbeach (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser), which is plausible enough. If these are socks then the use clearly falls outside of what is permitted by policy. Just zis Guy you know? 16:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Declined. "It's asserted that at least one is a sock of blocked Israelbeach (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser), which is plausible enough." It may be plausible enough for most things, but checkuser isn't one of them. The threshhold for making a check (a/k/a, "how it fits in the checkuser policy") must be satisfied before a check can be run; I'm not seeing any explanation of *why* the users are suspect, just a statement that they *are* suspect. As for "If these are socks then the use clearly falls outside of what is permitted by policy.", we're not permitted to run a checkuser on the premise that the results will justify the check; that's the ends justifying the means, and the policy doesn't permit it. With that said, the Foundation Office has been involved with Israelbeach, and you might consider raising the issue with Danny; he's in a much better position to investigate the matter. Essjay (Talk) 12:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

  • The reason they are suspect is that all of them have an edit history restricted to exactly the same contentious content, and all of them surface when the removal of that contentious content is being debated. Oh and most have/had the "censorship" ribbon on their user page.. But never mind, they have been prevented form disrupting the latest AfD anyway. Just zis Guy you know? 13:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Israelbeach


Seems that user:Israelbeach has been using sockpuppets to use wikipedia to launch a personal attack against Dr._Mike_Cohen - someone with whom he had a dispute on a chat forum which user:Israelbeach moderates.

Hpaami 14:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Please note that the admittance of Potterseesall has not actually admitted that he is a sockpuppet, Hpaami added it [12]. I have also added more users as well as more information and differences to validate the claim that they are using sockpuppets. This is required so administrators can take further action at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Israelbeach. Thanks, Iolakana|(talk) 18:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This is correct. For proper disclosure, please note that the same is true for the "admission" of user:givati Anyone who was privy to the libelous and venomous discussion on another forum, would quickly spot by language and content and style that these are both user:Israelbeach sockpuppets. I added the "admission" as a warning to be cautious of the libelous statemens. (I hope it doesn't break any rules) user:Israelbeach has been caught sockpuppeting on other forums - including those he moderates. Ironically, it was his sockpuppeteering that launched the latest childish outbursts. He has been banned from other user goups for this sort of defamation using sockpuppets.

Hpaami 19:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

May I ask why? Iolakana|(talk) 14:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
New users who just vote and don't add any reasonings to a deletion debate can be ignored without going through a laborious checkuser procedure, methinks. - Mgm|(talk) 09:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Not sure I understand this logic. The 2 users under question user:Potterseesall and user:Givati are not new & don't just vote. They are incvolved in abusive trolling. If you are talking about me as a new user - correct that I am new. But incorrect that I don't give reasons. I have entered on this topic, edited the deliberate falsehoods out of the entry & have given reasons. Based on a dispute on another forum, where user:Israelbeach came off looking pretty shabby I believe that he used his "suspected" sock puppet as a troll against his perceived enemy. Using a style, content and language that those familiar with user:Israelbeach recognise well. A bit sad really. Hpaami 10:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Mgm is broadly correct. This feels like a fishing expedition. Mackensen (talk) 11:02, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Israelbeach aka Joel Leyden

These usernames have been used to circumvent 3RR on Ra'anana, to vote against deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Israel news agency and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joel Leyden to garner "support" for edit wars, and general bullying of anyone who disagrees with Israelbeach. I'd like to have proof that Israelbeach is a sockfarmer so that action can be taken to block him and his puppets for violation of 3RR, a tactic he is bound to continue using. --Woggly 19:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved notice as it had been placed down in the completed section Syrthiss 02:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Inconclusive. Essjay Talk • Contact 03:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Agree, CheckUser results are Inconclusive. Looks more like meatpuppeting than classic sockpuppeting. Jayjg (talk) 17:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
