[edit] JB196

  • Code letter: F

User made an edit to my talk page, implying he is banned user JB196, who has a long term abuse report. Previous checkusers have uncovered many other related sockpuppets and use of open proxies. Under the circumstances would it be possible for a checkuser to be carried out to identify any further socks and/or open proxies? One Night In Hackney 01:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: Moved to /Case/JB196 per suggestion claimed in request. If you purely want an IP check to see if there's OP's involved (and can substantiate a strong suspicion), they can be listed in the IP check section of RFCU in the future. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 01:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Note: I found one hosting company which I blocked for acting as a proxy; other than that, nothing. Essjay (Talk) 02:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] JB196

User JB196 was banned for editwarring across numerous pages, including Death Valley Driver Video Review , Wrestling Spirit, Adam Ryland, Extreme Warfare (these are all ones on my watchlist), as well as various professional wrestling articles, (he's most (in)famous for the Vic Grimes article, which spilled across many different administrator boards as he tried to forum shop for an administrator who would let him get his way, when he was demanding credit in the article for information he put in)

Since then, he has resorted to using anonymous AOL Proxies to spamming tags on articles he does not like (including the talk pages), in an attempt to continue his disruption of Wikispedia. His actions caused numerous pages to be semi protected several times in an attempt to dissuade him from doing so. User:BooyakaDell then registered, and amongst his first few edits, was reintroducing the tag on a couple pages, and as of last check, only edited wrestling pages, leading to a belief that the accountUser:BooyakaDell could be a sockpuppet to continue evasion of his ban and to get around JB196's community Ban. The IP addresses have continued the adding of tags, as well as continuing to bother admins in an attempt to get the pages deleted:

Examples: BooyakaDell [1] [2]

198.38.41.183 [3] [4]

192.204.106.2 [5] [6]

Note: if you check the articles I mention above, there are numerous other AOL Proxies being used in an attempt to disrupt the page, I have only provided the two most recent IP addresses, as I'm pretty sure they are all AOL IP's and not much can be done. --SirFozzie 20:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Declined. JB196 is too old to check; without results to match between the two, all I could do is confirm or deny whether the other user is using AOL, which would make him 1 of 100,000. Nothing we can do here. Essjay (Talk) 06:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
