[edit] SEGA

Highly suspect image uploads of Image:PageMcConnell221.jpg and Image:JonFishman218.jpg lead me to find the original photographs at [1]. When IP users removed the photos from the infoboxes at Page McConnell and Jon Fishman, FrankStevens2007 (talk contribs) reply was: "???? I am the co-creator of the old Phish Phactory website (1998-2003). These are my personal photos taken on the Fall 2000 tour. My email is phactorystevens@yahoo.com if you have any questions". Other edits are similar to SEGA and other sockpuppets mentioned below. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 04:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: - in accordance with code letter B (Evasion of bans or other remedies issued by the arbitration committee), please provide a link to the closed arbitration case. --Michael Billington (talkcontribs) 06:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment - what do you mean by "closed arbitration case"? This being the third re-file of an RFC, I had listed "B" as a code letter in the last two RFC's dealing (shown below) that resulted in bans and I didn't do this for those. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 17:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
The arbitration case where the user was banned by the Arbitration Committee. Real96 20:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment - Okay, I removed the "B" code letter then. No one mentioned it in the other SEGA (talk contribs) cases below that I had used that code letter on, so this was my first time asked about it. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 21:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Additional information needed Diff of the discussion that led to the community ban. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Also added NewYorkMan332211 (talk contribs). This user and FrankStevens2007 (talk contribs) have both uploaded the same images at Marc Daubert that SEGA sockpuppets that were blocked LivinAfter (talk contribs) and MarcDau (talk contribs). In particular, MarcDau's edit summary of "Sourced correctly as an album cover. I scanned it, it belongs to me" is similar to FrankSteven2007's Image:Daubs.jpg. This image has also been reuploaded by Marc daubert (talk contribs) asserting that he is in fact Marc Daubert. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 22:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
SEGA's block log shows this page as the reason for the block. There are already 30+ confirmed sockpuppets for SEGA from previous RFC's shown below. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 22:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Declined I won't consider it a community ban on the strength of the block log. For it to be a community ban, there has to be discussion (usually on AN/I) and consensus. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] SEGA

Due to the fact that this puppetter let an alarming message on my talk page at User talk:Moeron#I've got to hand it to you saying that a ban won't stop them, I have seen these names on the same pages this puppetter used to target doing the same type of edits. Also, BuddyOfMine (talk contribs) left an attack on User talk:Anger22 here. Anyway, I am requesting a checkuser on these users due to the parallel edits. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 15:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed except for Walterkolosky and Ncfd, who are unrelated. Also:
  1. MarcDau (talk contribs logs block user block log checkuser)
  2. LivinAfter (talk contribs logs block user block log checkuser)
I've blocked the underlying IP. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Walterkolosky has inserted the same picture and has the same edit-type of Mahav (talk contribs) and Mr. Mahavishnu (talk contribs), who were blocked as sockpuppets of SEGA. Ncfd, as evidenced at Marc Daubert's history as well as Parlor Tricks, has an edit-style and has uploaded the same image as newly blocked MarcDau (talk contribs) (who asserts the image is fair) as well as SEGA-puppets Solohann (talk contribs) (when he continued to edit Daubert's page after Solohann was blocked), Sillyputty1 (talk contribs), and a slew of others. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 19:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Note: Perhaps, but checkuser shows no relationship between the underlying IPs. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 19:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Gotcha. Thank you. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 20:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SEGA

  • Code letter: B, F

Anger22 (talk contribs) had expressed concern to me at User talk:Moeron#SEGA creeping in behind the block? that this user may have been circumventing their block using the one IP address mentioned above that wasn't blocked below. Up until now, I decided to just watch for further problems. This evening, Solohann (talk contribs) began uploading images and adding them to pages in a confrontational manner used by SEGA (talk contribs) and their socks. I admit some fault is on me, since the new user patterned their uploads on a previous picture of mine I used for the Phil Lesh page. However, I have (tried to) remedy this by requesting that image be deleted. However, based on the users blocked below and their liberal interpretation of WP:FU, I have request a checkuser to play safe. In particular, the edit summaries of both Lillywhite Lilith (talk contribs) and Solohann (talk contribs) are very similar. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 04:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed. They're almost all on the same dynamic DNS address (not subnet, specific address) except for SEGA, Ideapower, and the 66.190 IP, which are unrelated to any of these. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Confirmed but Note: Don't add things to a list here, please. There's no logical way I'm going to see those new entries in a closed RFCU; I just happened to notice this on my watchlist. In the future, put new entries after my responses, if the request is still open as this was. Anyway, the new ones are confirmed, except for Rockytop and the IP, for whom there is no obvious relationship. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 03:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] SEGA

  • Code letter: C, F

Summary of request -- original request available on talk.

  1. Almost all of them have multiple image warnings. One of the reasons I believe these users are all one in the same is that the user makes new screen names to avoid his past with deleted images. The admin Meegs has even warned Padgett22 and Onlyslighted already about being the same user at User talk:Onlyslighted#User:Padgett22.
  2. Nomoretears & Lizards were blocked with "expiry time of indefinite (completely ignoring copyright policy)".
  3. A number of the newer users are also uploading band photos from "press kits", though some of the pictures are leading hits on image search engines like Google.com and Yahoo.com.
  4. MoreronCantContributeHeOnlyErases & 68.112.25.197 make similar edits: [2] [3] [4] [5]
  5. SEGA and 68.112.25.197 make similar edits: [6] [7] [8] [9]
  6. AlexKidd11's first and only edit to a DRV SEGA started: [10]. When noted, removed by the IP: [11] [12]
  7. Steph11 makes similar attacks: [13], and widely re-inserts FU violations previously removed: contribs
  8. Padgett22 making similar insertions and attacks: [14] [15] [16] [17]. Note that Padgett22 is suspected of being Onlyslighted, above.
  9. Multiple users think the images are being "deleted," including an AN/I thread: [18] [19] [20]
  10. Accounts seem to tag-team, re-uploading, re-inserting, using similar means and commentary, including Image:FFN.jpg, Image:P0018721.jpg, Image:Moeron22.jpg (NSFW) (See lower parts of full request)

For these reasons, I am request a checkuser on users. I have dealt with this IP and its many faces and image violations since early 2006, but the creation of the username and the attack has made my finally decide to bring this to WP:RFC. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 22:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Clerk assistance required: Can we get a summary of just the essential points, preferably one that takes 10 lines or less? Essjay (Talk) 23:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: Summarized the report. Hopefully that's a good balance of brevity and completeness. Original version is available on talk - see here. Luna Santin 02:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Clerk note: SEGA is the puppetmaster, as his account is distinctly older than the rest (a couple of months). Case location/list order updated to reflect this. Daniel.Bryant T · C ] 03:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed. All the following are confirmed:

Confirmed. The following are additional socks not listed in the request:

Note: These are all too old to check. A decision will have to be made based on edit pattern.
