Bilal Mustafa Sheikh@haWP

The accounts reported at SRG#Global lock for Fakir Ul Rahman (permalink [1]) a likely related as well, see e.g. ha:Special:Undelete/Vineet Singh with similar English language spam. Johannnes89 (talk) 21:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

All Template:Confirmed and related to Muhammad Bilal Muzzamil, the oldest I saw, but I found also many others and I'm still investigating cross-wiki! Thanks --Superpes15 (talk) 21:32, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Template:Ping If there is a suitable IP range to block locally at haWP, then please look to do what is suitably helpful. I am guessing that there is low likelihood of false positives if done locally.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:30, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Template:Ping It's a bit of a mess, I can probably block some ranges after my checks, but I've seen a lot of proxies in the middle (so they're not always from the same range but they change a lot)! I'll try to stop them as much as possible :) Superpes15 (talk) 22:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks mate, every bit helps, and reinforces to the (ab)user that we are serious.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Template:Ping SRG#Global lock for Bilal Mustafa Sheikh seems related as well, see e.g. these deleted articles [2] Johannnes89 (talk) 10:51, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Template:Re Just a comment; Commons already has local checkusers, contact them if needed instead - stewards rarely perform checks on wikis with local checkusers. EPIC (talk) 12:22, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC I referred here because I know that the claim there is wrong. — Xeyal ^talk 12:35, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

@Xeyal If you disagree their conclusion, you can contact another local Checkusers or Ombuds commission, instead of here. Thanks. SCP-2000 13:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, here is not an appellate court. We have no power to deny the commonswiki admin's decision or checkuser's declaration. I recommend contacting commonswiki's checkuser team. --Sotiale (talk) 13:52, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

@Sotiale how can i contact? — Xeyal ^talk 15:05, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

@Xeyal see commons:Commons:Checkusers. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 17:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

R Ashwin Mandi@sat.wikipedia

Hi. I have had several experiences where it is not appropriate to judge the problems of these small communities by checkuser results. I believe it is recommended that you contact Wikimedians of Santali Language User Group to resolve this issue (if you want). If their account is new, it is unlikely that their RfA will be approved by a steward, so even if their attempt is problematic, it is unlikely to be accepted. I'm curious about your thoughts. --Sotiale (talk) 14:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I forgot to write this. If you suspect that these are LTAs, please let me know separately. It may be a different problem from those of these communities. --Sotiale (talk) 14:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

@Sotiale Yes, I suspect they are LTAs. You can check a previous request and CU log. —MdsShakil (talk) 14:29, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

And talking about RFA, this LTA is trying to get sysop bit on satwiki several times including successful one. (Steward requests/Permissions/2022-10#AmandaWM@sat.wikipedia, Steward requests/Permissions/2022-10#Hoichoii@sat.wikipedia, Steward requests/Permissions/2024-01#ᱚᱱᱚᱞᱤᱭᱟᱹ@SatWikipedia and Special:Diff/26172990) I know both primary contact person of the Santali Language User Group; if needed, I can contact them. —MdsShakil (talk) 14:52, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

User has been blocked, and has submitted an unblock request claiming to have "possibly used a public IP leading to this CU result". Can you please verify the claim? LuciferianThomas 14:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

It's an interesting claim, but I don't think it's the claim that would change the results. --Sotiale (talk) 15:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Noted with thanks! LuciferianThomas 15:20, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

@ATannedBurger

[3]This link documents my personal speculations from the perspective of behavior change techniques.

In short, I believe he may initiate edit wars to increase the number of edits for unclear reasons. When there's no conflict, he may even engage in editing battles with himself because, in fact, he has indeed fought edit wars using the account 星野源夢 against the same 星野源夢 account.

This is also why when I see the activity of the account 韓光頭當選立法院長了？, I would suspect that this is 星野源夢 himself.(The ratio of engaging in edit wars with newly registered accounts or those with fewer edits is too high.) Rastinition (talk) 11:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Template:Quote --Sotiale (talk) 12:54, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

And Template:Quote --Sotiale (talk) 12:56, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Since there is a behavior of logging out of editing, is it technically possible to block the IP without letting the details of the IP be disclosed? Rastinition (talk) 13:18, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Template:CU request Template:Quote From a technical point of view. --Sotiale (talk) 11:23, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

@Sotiale: SRG#Global lock for Ubukwe Ahiya seems related, there is similar spam at sswiki [4] (nywiki seems to be affected as well [5]), see e.g. ss:Special:Undelete/Nilesh Madhukar Rane + ny:Special:Undelete/Nilesh Madhukar Rane.

By the way: Special:CentralAuth/Mohammed Bismil Kha from group 1 is already globally locked as lock evasion of Special:CentralAuth/Muhammad Bilal Muzzamil from group 2, both groups should be globally locked in my opinion. Johannnes89 (talk) 12:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Kohan-bot@loginwiki

In general, things processed in SRG tend to be checked by the stewards on loginwiki, at the discretion of the stewards if it is a spambot or for xwiki spam purposes. Therefore, there is no need to request checkuser separately here. If you suspect that they are the same user or that you have tracked them separately and are spamming the same spam, please submit your request again by providing specific evidence. Thanks! --Sotiale (talk) 05:10, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

JunzuoL@zh.wikipedia

As a side note, I personally found Sjsjsjaaaaaaaa is more likely to be a sock of JKQA212, given both of the accounts use Simplified Chinese in the edit summary in addition to their editing behavior. Fairedits4U from last check is using traditional despite some of the Simplified Chinese texts are also involved, which I assume the account holder directly copy-pasted the guidelines, which was written in Simplified Chinese. --$\int$（☎） 08:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
