Loreena McKilkenny seemed to be a fairly obvious sock of Shuppiluliuma, but I was willing to look the other way so long as they behaved. When an editor reported this user on my talk page, 151.57.161.198 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) blanked that section of my page. The IP is in the range that Shup socks from. I'm less interested in confirming Loreena as a sock, than looking into the feasability of a range block. For several years the issue has involved this individual editing from dynamic IPs in this range, as well as any countless number of user names. For every positive thing this editor does (and in fairness, he adds a lot of information), there are two or three negative things he also does, most of which involve owning pages in some form, or just flat out attacking anyone who disagrees with him. Fieldchesterman also fits the pattern as a new editor who makes a few edits, and then locks in on a Turkey, Ottoman, or Byzantine related page (usually all three).
Over the past month or so I took a more aggresive approach to the editor by applying short term protection to a number of pages, and clamping down on the IP edits from this range. This created stability on most of the pages, and allowed other editors to edit in peace, but it is not a viable long term option.
I would greatly appreciate if the CU who looks at this could take a look at the IP range and offer any suggestions. The range block has always been out of the question in the past because the range encompasses a large area, but since Shup seems to be the only one who has ever used any of these IP's, I would be interested if a range block could actually be safely applied for some set period of time.Hiberniantears (talk) 17:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- Note: - I'm well familiar with this sockpuppeteer from previous cases and once again, the following accounts are Confirmed
- Loreena McKilkenny (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Fieldchesterman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- A check of the ranges shows IP addresses in the above range and little or no collateral damage will ensue whether the range is soft or hardblocked. To rangeblock, you should block 151.57.128.0/17 which should cover 100% of this editor's range and I recommend if you do this, to start at softblock and see how things go - Alison ❤ 06:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

- 151.57.155.3 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) - Italy IP that began editing shortly after the block of Res, which fits with previous incidents.
- 151.57.190.3 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) - Same as the IP above.
- Shuppiluliuma (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) - Included for context. This is the original account that was banned.
- Flavius Belisarius (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) - Also included for context, as this was the most recent account this editor used on a large scale (that I am aware of).
- Code letter: F
- Supporting evidence:
Just a quick check here. Res Gestæ Divi Augusti was banned for continued edit warring on Turkey by Moreschi. My guess is that Res Gestæ Divi Augusti is one and the same as the blocked user Flavius Belisarius, who in turn is a sock of banned userShuppiluliuma. In any event, following the block of Res Gestæ, Decons22 appears and begins editing the same part of the article. It seems fairly obvious to me, but I was hoping I could get someone to run a checkuser on both Decons22 and Res Gestæ since this user has been creating many socks for a number of years now. I just want to know what I'm dealing with as far as other user names that are out there which I can take a look at. As I understand from prior episodes with this individual I would need to block a large chunk of Italy from editing Wikipedia to effectively block this guy... since that is obviously out of the question, getting an idea of the usernames that may exist would be of tremendous assistance. Thanks. Hiberniantears (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Res Gestœ and Decons22 are Unrelated. The 151.57 IPs are Confirmed as Res Gestœ editing while logged out. The other accounts are too stale to check. Thatcher 11:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Shuppiluliuma, known also as DragutBarbarossa and CalicoJackRackham (talk · contribs), was indefbloced and community banned (here) for a number of incidents, involving edit-warring, personal attacks, block evasion, but above all the repeated uploading of a large number of unfree images.
