Valerius Tygart

Valerius Tygart (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
Populated account categories: confirmed


Report date November 13 2009, 08:43 (UTC)
Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Xenophrenic

The user page User:Valerius Tygart has an impressive list of articles created or edited by this editor. All accounts listed above that are marked "Self-confirmed" have confirmed themselves as puppet accounts of this editor by logging their editing efforts on this main user page. The edit history of this page reads like a who's who list of many of the accounts this editor uses to edit Wikipedia. The few remaining accounts listed above that are not marked "Self-confirmed" were added because they pick up the same talk-page conversations and edits where the confirmed socks leave off; they are in the same IP range, on the very same span of articles and use the identical edit summary notations. Many of these accounts are dynamic and/or have gone stale, but have been included for record-keeping and pattern establishment because they 100% pass the duck test. The list is from a brief first-pass review and is nowhere near all inclusive.

All of the above accounts can be confirmed as socks through either checkuser or behavior analysis, but is the puppetry abusive? At first glance, the following examples stand out:

Comments by other users

Comment: I'd like to second this checkuser request. I was the admin who had blocked 96.231.137.242 (talk · contribs) for edit-warring at Bill Maher and found the subsequent appearance of User:DyadTriad to be suspicious (though not conclusive, by itself). The fact that the main account Valerius Tygart (talk · contribs) too recently edited the article and all the evidence compiled above makes socking even more likely. Note that though the IPs listed above geolocate to different US states and some to Turkey, that does not rule out socking in this case, if one looks at the User:Valerius Tygart's editing history and article interest.

CheckUser requests

{{RFCU}} is deprecated. Please change the case status parameter in {{SPI case status}} to "CURequest" instead.

Checkuser request – code letter: D  + F (3RR using socks and another reason)
Current status – Completed: Reviewed by a Checkuser, results and comments are below.    Requested by Xenophrenic (talk) 08:43, 13 November 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Checkuser required to determine extent of apparent sock-farm and to verify the abusive uses of socks outlined above.

  •  Clerk endorsed per Abcedare. Despite the fact that none of these accounts are blocked, it would be nice to find which accounts he has used that aren't listed above as self-confirmed to compare editing histories. NW (Talk) 21:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
