IP sock blocked one week ago, now returned after block expired. Oleola (talk) 19:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed a mirror account. I think somebody's mocking him. --Welcome to HorrorLand, where nightmares come to life! [[User:Horrifico]] ([[User talk:Horrifico|talk]]) (talk) 23:25, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Came across this as a report to WP:AIV, looking at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/8254101 this editor admits to being a sock of Raulseixas. Blocked already as passed the quack test. Don't think Checkuser can do anything here, I've already blocked the sockpuppet, filing this for reference, can now be closed. 5 albert square (talk) 23:52, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The block caused some harm. I was blocked as well by mistake. I think it's fixed now. --Welcome to HorrorLand, where nightmares come to life! [[User:Horrifico]] ([[User talk:Horrifico|talk]]) (talk) 23:55, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RFA trolling. FlyingPuppy2 already has a CU block, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Impersonators_at_RFA . A sleeper check is due. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 15:47, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural filing, as I ran this check and want a second person to decide what action (if any) is appropriate rather than acting unilaterally myself. (ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 19:14, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am Horrifico, and I cannot take the pressure anymore. Block me if you wish. I just cannot keep my secret anymore. I have not done anything harmful to the wiki, but I will not pretend to be something I'm not. I hope I don't get blocked, it's just that the strain of everything is too much for me to keep this secret anymore. DarthNightmaricus (talk) 02:16, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've since noticed that the IP was blocked on September 15th for block evasion by Tetra quark [19]. Some of the behaviors in that archive seem familiar as well (moving lots of images around in astronomy articles, notability, and edit warring at Universe Sandbox[20]) this may need a procedural close or move to the Tetra quark thread. I've added that account to the list. Geogene (talk) 16:18, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? That's nonsense. Sure, I interacted with DN boards a few times, so what? I interact with many people who edit similar articles. Also, this claim "Huri ti sho" produces sanguinary translations in Google Translate [12] consistent with Horrifico. (it translates to Pretend blood Statement, which is a sentence that makes no sense whatsoever) is pure conspiracy theory and... paranoia. That's not a reason to accuse anyone of anything, vut ok, run the CheckUser then. Later you'll owe me an apology Huritisho 02:28, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It is evident that Huritisho is extremely well aware of the inner workings of Wikipedia, a notable skill if you consider the account was created only 21 days ago. In addition, he displays certain willingness to edit-war. So I also feel he is a sock puppet of someone else. BatteryIncluded (talk) 04:19, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would just like to note this user is totally unrelated. He's been reverted by multiple people on Charon (moon) Huritisho 06:33, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed -- totally unrelated. There's no collusion here. If Huritisho is not a sock, they need a mentor to learn how to edit within their area of competence. E.g., not to delete mathematical calculations because they don't understand them. — kwami (talk) 06:38, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with that observation. I think it's clear from evidence (including some I just now posted) that Huritisho is a sock of Tetra quark. Since they were interacting with DN-boards1 in somewhat overlapping areas I think they should be CU-compared. I'm not sure there's evidence that either is Horrifico, beyond the claim from DN-boards1. Geogene (talk) 16:32, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I just added a relatively new account that shows a transition between longevity records and Horrifico-type user name. Geogene (talk) 02:33, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The new User talk:Rudy235 (contributions: [32]) also has ‎an extensive knowledge of Wikipedia, (not typical of new users) and edits many of the the same space-related subjects as DN-boards1, with similar style and war-like attitude. BatteryIncluded (talk) 01:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What can I say? I may be a "new" user but I have a fast learning curve. Now can we all try to get back to the business of improving wikipedia for the rest?Rudy235 (talk) 13:10, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems particularly interested in the physical properties of outer solar system objects. Geogene (talk) 02:20, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who is suspected to be who? I can't even keep up with this anymore Huritisho 02:38, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect you're Tetra quark, and possibly also Horrifico/DN-boards1. Even if not, there are grounds for a CU to look for sleeper accounts of both sockmasters. Geogene (talk) 02:47, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Another similarity between Huritisho and Rudy235 is that neither are able to do arithmetic, though that doesn't stop them from deleting or adding calculations to the articles (Charon, Nix). — kwami (talk) 23:18, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about Huritisho, so I'll let him answer about that, but not only I know how to do arithmetic, I also know algebra, analytical geometry, calculus, invariants, laplace transformations, modular arithmetic, group theory and a few things more. Thank you for bringing that up! As a bonus, I can give you some pointers in English: "Neither is" is preferable to "neither are".Rudy235 (talk) 06:55, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can only go by what I see, and what I saw is that you weren't able to convert x±y into a range for x. Perhaps it was an oversight. Huritisho isn't able to do simple division with a calculator, so that would suggest you are different people (if you can indeed calculate x±y).
"Neither are" is correct in this context. I had to correct myself when I wrote "neither is". — kwami (talk) 21:57, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is high school physics! x±y converts to into range as (x+y)/2 to (x-y)/2 I admit that I do have difficulty in puting new references as I do not have full knowledge (yet) of that skill . What really surprises me more than anything I've seen, is the attitude of some users that instead of helping when one makes a typo or overlooks something, jump at the opportunitty of making up baseless acussations. Instead of being helpful and cooperative they are quick at the chance of UNDOING something without even actually trying to correct it. The job one might do took the user perhaps 15 to 20 (17.5 ± 2.5) minutes and yet instead of cooperating (which they could) they simply destroy "willy-nilly". And as to the accussations about me being someone else? Where the frick did that came from? Is that a hobby of bored "old users" who find it amusing to do so rather than doing actual positive work for the benefit of everyone who reads the encyclopedia? I have a suggestion. Everyone that makes an accussation like this which requires volunteers and editors to do extra work, should donate FIVE dollars to Wikipedia. That is five dollars for each person they accuse. If the accusation is then found to be grounded in reality the five dollar donation is returned. If it is not proven, Wikipedia keeps the donation. Perhaps that way people would think twice before leveling these malicious statements. Rudy235 (talk) 04:46, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Rudy235: I know what you mean. Many editors here seem to be lazy. They just revert when an edit is more complex (like a few of your edits), especially if the edit comes from an IP address. I used to edit as an IP for a while before registering and I know what it's like. What's more interesting is that old editors were supposed to be those who contribute the most, but in reality, they seem barely edit at all. All they do is make minor edits and stalk the new users trying to contribute. I could mention a few examples but it wouldn't be appropriate to ping certain people here. Anyway, don't take things too personally, man. Cheers, Huritisho 05:05, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Huritisho: Please don't agree too much with me. Because for some gutless wonders when two or more people agree, it is prima facie evidence that the are the same person mascarading as a different user. And I would really think that if we disagreed vehemently in their minds they would simply say that we are doing it to throw them off the scent!Rudy235 (Rudy235) 05:26, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This guy fucks Huritisho 09:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is the type of abuse typical of TetraQuark. Huritisho is a sock of TetraQuark. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 13:18, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What are you talking about? That's not abuse. That's a way of saying "this guy is cool" or "this guy is badass". Huritisho 13:31, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bbb23: [33]. This was evidently subsequently connected to [34]. Behavior evidence only, obviously. I have no idea if the user is related to the older account, other that (as you note) DN-boards 1 professes to be. Please move this to comments by other users if appropriate. I'm not sure if I'd count as "other users" or not, since my only action here has been administrative. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:26, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCK. Copy-pastes mini-bios from List of supercentenarians from the United States and uses them to create independent articles without giving attribution. They then delete the content from the original article. Same edit summaries while doing this: [35], [36], [37], [38]. They have similar ideas about about the notability being conferred automatically by reaching some particular age or age ranking [39], [40], [41]. Many of these diffs may be about to disappear due to speedy delete nominations. Geogene (talk) 01:34, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
