Evidence

During a recent influx of sockpuppets (see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive480#User:Swamilive_sockpuppet_activity), Jeztheham (talk · contribs) started editing articles which I have edited or are related to articles I have edited. Assuming they were another Swamilive sockpuppet, I reported them as such. Swamilive sock PalmofYourHand (talk · contribs) appeared on my talk to deny that Jeztheham was their sock. Another Swamilive sock FrameSplit (talk · contribs) (still unblocked incidentally) started a discussion on my talk page, which was joined by 72.35.4.220 (talk · contribs). The IP asked about Mark Bellinghaus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) who has harassed me off-wiki. Soon after, new account Bellend House (talk · contribs) added personal attacks ([1] & [2]) to a discussion involving images uploaded by Bellinghaus, and used their edit contributions to spell out "there are no Marilyn F A N S", when read backwards. User:Jeztheham also edited the portion of Debunker (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) related to Bellinghaus.

Comments

Request checkuser, please. Ask them to uncover the entire sockfarm, and reference this report as the evidence. Jehochman ^Talk 20:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
See Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/72.35.4.220. Note that Jeztheham (talk · contribs) is indef blocked. Both 72.35.4.220 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and Bellen House (talk · contribs) have been temporarily blocked for edits made after this report was filed. I have added two IPs that took up the edit war after Bellen House (talk · contribs) was blocked. Note that they are from the same ISP used by some Swamilive (talk · contribs) socks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding another IP. No vandalism, just circumstantial evidence (editing Chav (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and same ISP). Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:04, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Add all accounts to your request, noting which are already blocked. This may help the Checkusers. Jehochman ^Talk 22:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Adding one more obvious Swamilive sock IP. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the addition to Chav was used in an edit summary by Darien Muncastershire (talk · contribs). Also the edits on Bruce (disambiguation) by Bellend House (talk · contribs) are the same as on Bruce by Swamilive (talk · contribs) and other sockpuppets. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 22:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As well, the recent aggressive edits by Bellend House (talk · contribs) to Octopus [3], regarding a minor grammatical issue already discussed on article talk page, are identical to those by Swamilive (talk · contribs) not long ago [4]. JNW (talk) 23:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And now, taking things to a new level, see the image changing hijinks at the Chav article image. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bellend House should be blocked indef for a username like that (wikt:bell-end). As for everything else here, it looks incredibly damning. Yesterday I had to report his IP for continually changing the image on Chav, claiming there was a consensus to do so, and then I noticed the image today had changed, but nothing in the history showed. So I checked the commons log, and a brand new user had reuploaded over the old image. Extremely fishy, and very disruptive. -- how do you turn this on 16:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck the above comment because there is an existing checkuser request already linked. The two have been merged. See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/72.35.4.220. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Gfh7578 (talk · contribs), despite Swamilive's denial that it's theirs, because of the earlier User:Bellend House account, and the Bellinghause-related edits by User:Meffed. Note that some of this account's contributions have been oversighted already. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:08, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I really think we should move all the information here to the CU request. It's a bit pointless having two pages about the same problem open at once. -- how do you turn this on 23:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/72.35.4.220 for more information. User:Gfh7578 not blocked due to comment at the CU page that it is unrelated. Cirt (talk) 14:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
