To create a new request about this user, add {{subst:Newcheckusercase}} to the top of the page and save it. Then edit the page to replace the template text with your new request. Previous requests (shown below), and this box, will be automatically hidden on Requests for checkuser (but will still appear here). Do not go back and create a new page with a different name like /Case/User 2 or /Case/User 2nd request. We prefer to keep all requests regarding one suspected puppet master on the same page.

Sjmac999

[edit]
  • Code letter: C.

IP 68.40.161.247-contribs had as its sole contrib history the repeated deletion of one phrase from John M. Ford#Life, referring to "his partner since the mid-1990s, Elise Matthesen". Vandalism templates test1a, test2a, test3a, and test4 were posted on User talk:68.40.161.247, concluding with "The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia." Now the same editing pattern is being followed by Sjmac999-contribs, who likewise has made no edits other than to change or delete this one phrase. (Thus these two contrib history links are offered in place of individual diffs, as they show no unrelated edits.) Is the same IP user evading that "next time you'll be blocked" warning by switching to this username? (Neither the IP nor the username has joined the discussion of these deletions at Talk:John M. Ford.) – SAJordan talkcontribs 09:28, 30 Nov 2006 (UTC).

no Unnecessary That one's pretty obvious, no need to check. Essjay (Talk) 03:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does that mean we can have that IP and username blocked now, for continuing the vandalism after the test4 warning? Because I see that hasn't happened yet. – SAJordan talkcontribs 00:10, 2 Dec 2006 (UTC).
That would be up to an uninvolved admin to decide. As the header says: "In most cases, any block or other action based on the outcome will not be taken by the checkuser-people or the clerks. Instead, you will have to do this yourself." You can raise the issue on ANI to have an uninvolved admin look in and decide what to do. Essjay (Talk) 02:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Filed at Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism, thanks! – SAJordan talkcontribs 04:50, 2 Dec 2006 (UTC).
And got swift action: blocks in place, 24 hours for IP, indef (with appeal option) for username. Let's see whether the deletions cease. – SAJordan talkcontribs 06:12, 2 Dec 2006 (UTC).
