From a technical point of view. There are a total of about 3 ranges they use, and these ranges are being used by at least x10 more users than these accounts, no matter how small it may be. I am concerned about whether the block is appropriate. --Sotiale (talk) 04:01, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Vami@eowikt


 Declined While I think there was definitely a problematic canvassing, since you know that I check often eowikt, and I never noticed all these active users, in any case I don't think there are enough reasons or evidences to perform a CU between Vami and RG72 at the moment (you also agreed that there was probably canvassing and not socking). The stewards removed the administrators there a few years ago. When it arrives on meta, we will evaluate the request for the sysop flag. Thanks. --Superpes15 (talk) 01:43, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

  • Likely Likely 意面混凝土 and Firedoge2023
  • Stale Blbj and R7-7840HS

  • They're using VPN.

It's a rather congested VPN with no regular IPs, so I'm not sure if they did IP socking(ofc I think they did it), but I think it would be better to do gblock for now. --Sotiale (talk) 13:09, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

@Sotiale: Steward_requests/Checkuser/2020-08#Blbj@zh.wikipedia will this be helpful for any part? LuciferianThomas 14:18, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
Even if the data does exist, it is so old that comparisons are likely difficult(3 years), and I don't retain data for that long for privacy reasons unless I have a special need to track it. --Sotiale (talk) 03:40, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Tigerzengg@yue.wikipedia

The explanation strikes me as a little unclear. The purpose of the investigation must be clearly specified; which LTA is this and why they should be checkusered if they are all blocked? --Sotiale (talk) 03:46, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
@Sotiale: My apologies. I blocked them out of their individual disruptive behaviours, but they all share the common theme of overall incoherence with random references to zhwiki, as well as exhibiting characteristics of multiple zhwiki LTAs. Unfortunately this means I am unable to pinpoint which exact LTA this is. The main motivation behind this request is that we don't get any of these usually, and some confirmation of whether this is an organised effort to cause disruption (as opposed to some individual sporadic mischiefs) would be useful in spotting and thwarting future attempts. h78c67c (talk) 03:59, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
I'll list the accounts in 9 hours, but spoiler ahead, they're zh:维基百科:傀儡調查/案件/桀桀桀. --Sotiale (talk) 04:15, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

During the investigation on November 27, 2023, we identified Parcogg, SirCHK, and Jason Tan08, but could not confirm HoPDSM, TeacherKing, and Honeylu. Does this suggest that the user may have attempted to evade Checkuser using different methods and came close to success? Rastinition (talk) 06:07, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
