  Likely, from the same ISP and same user-agent, but only use one IP for each user and IP range wide (maybe meatpuppets? )：

Comment: Your description of the situation sounds to me more like a single user on a highly dynamical ip address than like a bunch of meatpuppets. - Andre Engels 18:00, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Sdee (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Inhins (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): Inhins is a newbie and he sudden make edits to let him qualified at "Did you know?" voting today. Then he voted many {{支持}}(which means "support") to most of the nomination, but one of the votes is seems to be very strange: the support voted to Sdee's nomination. He voted and later made additional comment to the nomination but the other did not (see his votes today and helping comments for Sdee's nomination). Reviewing Inhins's contributions, he shares some commons actions to Sdee (and also his past sockpuppet w:zh:user:Akimotokenta ), such as marking a template unreasonably to some article (like [1], adding a {{refimprove}} to w:zh:拉密牌 but that is fully cited). Therefore, I suspected that Inhins is another sock of Sdee.

See also Akimotokenta@zh.wikipedia (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser • CentralAuth • AllContribs) and Steward_requests/Checkuser/2009-12#Sdee.40zh.wikipedia for more infomation.

Please have the check ASAP as the DYK nomination will end tomorrow, thank you! --CDIP No.150 repair meter 06:27, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Godmanbj,神的邻居@zhwikip

zh:User:Imaxy has been blocked indefinitely because of using sockpuppets, see zh:Category:Imaxy的維基用戶分身.

Now

are suspected as zh:User:Imaxy's puppet, because they are active after zh:User:Imaxy was blocked and voted against the same RfA with similar statements. If possible please check out all zh:User:Imaxy's puppets, thanks a lot. --Kegns 06:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

  Likely. Both are on the same dynamic ranges where also Imaxy can be found; however, there are quite a number more at those addresses, at least some of which apparently are not Imaxy sockpuppets. The users also have various browser strings, however there are relatively rare elements that I found among all three in some of their edits. - Andre Engels 18:28, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

  1. Vandalism done by a registered user, Snooker unified account (see [2]). I can identify relations beetween Tomreves and Snooker by the Tomreves (unified account) loading into commons file [3] after it deletion [4]. --Vpovilaitis apt. 06:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
  2. Disruption to Wikimedia wiki: bat-smg.wikipedia.

I think this actions are targeted against Hugo.arg Vpovilaitis apt. 06:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
  3. Disruption to Wikimedia wiki: lt.wikipedia. Vandalism agaist new users. There is many samples. Last of them I think is discussed on the w:lt:Vikipedija:Administravimo kritika#Neseni Homo ir Snooker veiksmai --Vpovilaitis apt. 06:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

79.107.57.51 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): Possible sysop abuse.

    • There was an edit war with a successive protection of the article [5]. The edit war happened between a registered user and and IP 109.242.26.53. On one of the reverts the IP 109.242.26.53 wrote at the edit summary "It's the last time I change it, next time the article will be protected. You were advised by a sysop to reduce edits. Do it." [6]. Indeed, after the next turn of reverts and just one minute after the ip edit, the article was protected by Kalogeropoulos[7]. Then, Kalogeropoulos made a note with the same spirit at the talk page starting with "You were asked by a sysop to stop the edit war and reduce edits to 1 per day...".[8] It was suggested that the same sysop was editing from that ip and protected the article in his prefered version.
    • Also on a related article, another IP (79.107.57.51) doing an edit war with the same user.[9] It was suggested that the sysop blocked the user ([10]) and (his own?) IP 79.107.57.51 ([11]), then edited the article at will.[12] Geraki TL 10:10, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Kristiani95, Elio96, various IP addresses and sockpuppets @sq.wikipedia

213.112.109.122 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): After we found out w:sq:user:Kristiani95 was involved in vote-stacking, we also found similarities between him and w:sq:user:Elio96 (they interchanged edits to user pages, or articles using similar "styles"). We started a voting to check if this accounts were the same. We then were subject to systematic disruptive series of vandalisms (which endured from 4 days to 1 week): accounts Elio69, Elio99, 213.112.109.122, and basically all logs marked with sockpuppetry or linking to the voting discussion [13]. This vandalisms were all targeting edits done by the two initial accounts w:sq:user:Kristiani95 and w:sq:user:Elio96. We suspected this was an action from 1 of the 2 initial accounts to delay the checkuser process (unfortunately we couldn't check right away). I'm bureaucrat at sqwiki. --  eagleal  18:24, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Reason(s): 我是中文維基百科的管理員，近日發現多個註冊用戶的編輯手法與被封禁中的User:Bajatvj及其傀儡User:Mokaw相似，其中User:時勢造英雄編輯手法與User:Bajatvj相似，屢次胡亂移動條目，多次胡亂合併、分割條目，無故刪除以及把條目改成地域中心內容，曾被封禁三個月。User:Ecat編輯手法則近似User:Mokaw，經常於廣東、潮汕、福建相關條目針對User:Polar1。，請幫忙檢查用戶，謝謝！

I am one of the sysop in Chinese Wikipedia (http://zh.wikipedia.org/) I found that the editing habits of several users are quite similar to User:Bajatvj whom was banned from editing because of merging and splitting up articles without getting consensus from other fellow users as well as his sockpuppet, User:Mokaw. Such editing resulted articles involved being biased on point-of-view from certain geographical area. The editing behaviour of User:時勢造英雄 was very similar to that of User:Bajatvj; while the editing by User:Ecat was very similar to User:Mokaw, which involving reverting neutralized editing done by User:Polar1 on articles related to Guangdong province, Teochiew area and Fujian province. Please help to check if the two pairs mentioned above are indeed controlled by the same person.

  • It is   Inconclusive from the CheckUser point of view whether the accounts Ecat and 時勢造英雄 are related or not.
