Clerk assistance required: Or maybe a request to the requester -- it would make things a TON easier if certain info was provided on huge lists like this. In particular -- for IPs, is the IP blocked? If so, what sort of block? (anon only, etc.) I know we can click on the block log for this, but we've already got plenty of clicking to do. (In other words, if someone else will do the tedious stuff that anyone can do, it will leave us more time to do the tedious stuff that only we can do.) Also, if lists like this huge thing are sorted, it makes it a lot easier to tell if names we're seeing when we run the checks are new names or names you already have. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 19:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC) reply
The Unchecked list is exactly that, not checked for Proxies and the like. There is some info on some of the ones that are blocked for 48 hours, I think the default for everyone not so tagged is blocked indef. I will check the IP addresses and provide status. SirFozzie 19:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC) reply
Provided update, almost all of them looks to be 48 hours, anon only, creation disabled. SirFozzie 20:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC) reply

I need clarification - is this confirmed puppet or not? –– Lid( Talk) 02:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC) reply
IP evidence doesn't show a JB196 connection, unless User:Guidejo is a JB196 connection; is Thomas Couch JB work?? -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 15:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC) reply
I'm not an admin so I can't review the article or its history considering it was deleted. –– Lid( Talk) 15:21, 8 June 2007 (UTC) reply
Ah. Well, by the time it got deleted, it had one sentence: Thomas Couch is a professional wrestler better known as Tommy Rogers of The Fantastics. Actually, all he did was add a db-bio to the article, which had been pretty much wiped of a ton of unsourced information. So, really, I'd say no obvious connection at al, unless JB196 likes to mark unsourced articles for deletion. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆15:59, 8 June 2007 (UTC) reply
Well he does, l;ong before Burntsauce appeared JB196 was known for that very habit (in fact it was one of the first things added to his long term abuse MO). The fact JB196 always shows up on Burntsauce related articles and talk pages also shows he still loves the deletion of wrestling articles, so there may indeed be something here. –– Lid( Talk) 16:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC) reply
Speaking as someone who was fooled into striking up reasonable conversations with a JB sockpuppet I would say that this user's 'contributions' and edit-summary look awfully familiar. The username itself is in a format seen before in JB sockpuppets. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹ Speak 23:58, 8 June 2007 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure how to proceed - considering his championship additions to Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli which I can find no supporting evidence that these exist, along with the very heavy knowledge of policy, the edit summary usage of "cite it" and this peculiar edit summary on New Jack "removed controversial unsourced info; also it says he was in PWU but I dont remember him ever working there" I am leaning towards puppet. The circumstantial info adds up along with the really peculiar one off puppet to delete a wrestling article. –– Lid( Talk) 17:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC) reply

As always created and then started editing wrestling articles with a strong knowledge of policy as well as supporting the edits of Burntsauce, whom he has posted off-wiki on various forums and wikipedia review he supports the actions of. Also edited a (very very poor) page by Josephgraham ( talk · contribs) and while the edit is valid it should be noted one of his last puppets, Hornswoggle454 ( talk · contribs), also targetting this users pages. –– Lid( Talk) 02:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Added blatant sock radarman1. As with previous cases whenever I report his sock he creates a blatant sock to go wild on the pages until the open proxy gets blocked. –– Lid( Talk) 04:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC) reply

I support this request. If there is a rangeblockable underlying IP range we could slap a short term block on it would be very usefull. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:43, 31 May 2007 (UTC) reply
He usually uses nothing but Open Proxies for his work, (he bragged about having "Thousands of IP addresses". But at least, we're plugging holes. SirFozzie 18:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC) reply
Thousands of IP addresses does not necessarily mean an open proxy. An ISP with a /16 subnet gives is 65000 some addresses that he can probably switch to with a quick reset of his modem. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC) reply
We've identified plenty of open proxies from his previous accounts. One Night In Hackney 303 19:43, 31 May 2007 (UTC) reply
I would like to ask the checkusers to start revealing IP's. It's no longer an issue of privacy, as this user is beyond disruptive; we can then do internet searches for his IPs to see what lists he's using, and start preemptively blocking addresses on those pages. The Evil Spartan 18:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC) reply
No. We can't do that. However...you can figure it out yourself from information available to all users. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 22:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC) reply
Not a bad idea... The Evil Spartan 00:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC) reply

  • More IPs blocked. Part of the problem here is that someone decided it was useful to soft-block the open proxies back in April. -- jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 01:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC) reply

SirFozzie has bundled me into this mix and I've removed his note from my talk page. For the record, I came across several hundred articles which violate WP:BLP policies and brought this up on WP:AN on multiple occasions in advance of taking any action. I could really care less about JB196 either way, and as I've said before, if this person is removing unsourced material, it should not be restored until reliable sources are provided; the content is not lost, it remains in the edit history. If it will help the sysop performing this checkuser, the relevant threads that I initiated are WP:AN#Challenges of upholding WP:BLP policy (still active) and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive81#Does WP:BLP apply to professional wrestlers? Thanks. Burntsauce 20:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC) reply

Please note, Burntsauce has already had one confirmed sockpuppet User:Marius Marin show up to try to defend him over at ANI [2] and Jonathan Barber (IE JB196) has boasted about Burntsauce's work here. User continues to attempt to pull the Suspected Sock Puppet Tag off his page. SirFozzie 20:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC) reply
Yes, I've noticed that someone is apparently following me around, most of them are Wikipedia administrators who are reinforcing the general consensus on WP:AN. It goes without saying that I am going to remove a "sockpuppet" template from the top of my talk page given that I am not JB196. What would you do if I tagged you as a sockpuppet of Davnel03? These lame intimidation tactics won't work with me, sorry. Burntsauce 20:29, 12 April 2007 (UTC) reply
Intimidation? You think we're intimidating you?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SirFozzie ( talk • contribs) 20:37, 12 April 2007
Do you think I'm a sockpuppet? Right, errr... I've been on Wikipedia since November, and SirFozzie's been on it for a while, therefore calling him a sockpuppet is damn right ignorant! I have one other account, and that's my IP address; don't even dare try and make accussations, Burntsauce, why do you think you landed on this page? Check this out..., oh and this. Davnel03 12:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC) reply
  • Most of these are already blocked. I think the primary question here is: Is Burntsauce ( talk · contribs) associated with any sockpuppetry and if there is an underlying IP (or OP's here) can they be blocked.-- Isotope23 13:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC) reply

 IP blocked: I'm in the process of blocking open proxies. Burntsauce isn't on an open proxy, and, while it's a shared IP, I don't think any of the other accounts are him. Dmcdevit· t 08:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC) reply

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.

information 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) reply


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 account User: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 [3] [4]

198.38.41.183 [5] [6]

192.204.106.2 [7] [8]

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) reply

no 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) reply
