Peter zhou (13th)[edit]

Alison, if it's not too much PITA, you might want to check the history of China to see if there is a recent revert that hasn't been reported here. Not everyone reverting the sock is reporting the socks for CU. I'm also thinking of another way around this. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

information Note: - this is heading into rangeblock territory which, unfortunately, will take out a large chunk of a major city (two ISPs, too)

Peter zhou (9th)[edit]

As seen in the archives, Peter zhou is a sockmaster who creates dozens of sockpuppets to make specific edits to the articles China and Names of China. The article has been protected for weeks at a time to prevent this. After unprotection, this sockpuppet showed up. Checkuser on these users should reveal other sockpuppet accounts that can be pre-emptively blocked. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

I concur. See Nat's talk page history [4]. Nuirei, Sliutu, Fliefreo, Pligrua, Krawrae (and the list of names goes on...) all used similiar chinese words as headings, and make the same comments attacking Nat and his mother. OhanaUnitedTalk page 20:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

diff of puppeteer:

A checkuser is needed to flush out any more pre-baked socks from this long term abuser. nat.utoronto 02:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed All three suspects are on the same range and some of their IPs have already been taken out by autoblocks of previous socks. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry to bug you, but the purpose of this request was to flush out any hidden pre-baked socks not to confirm what I already know. nat.utoronto 14:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Peter zhou (1st)[edit]

I've been harrassed by a bunch of sockpuppet accounts vandalising my user page and talk pages.

My suspicion is that the series of sockpuppet accounts are related to User:Peter zhou, based on the facts that:

  1. User:Peter zhou has been the sole representative of the opposing side of a dispute on Talk:China.
  2. The vandalism started on November 11, and the dispute on Talk:China really got going on November 10: see this and subsequent edits.
  3. Since that time, I have not been involved in any other disputes. PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 05:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See: Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Archive/November_2007#User:JackyAustine, prob socks of JackyAustine. Also see: Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets#User:Sumple, looks like counter claims. This SSP was filed by a brand new account, Feipleo, who I suspect is a sock of JackyAustine.RlevseTalk 13:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and I forgot to add - thanks for reminding me Rlevse - that JackyAustine, the confirmed sock-puppeteer of User:Peter zhou, has a history of sockpuppeteering: the other ones being at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine, Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine (2nd), Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine (3rd), Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/JackyAustine (4th). --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 10:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Deferred to Dmcdevit --Deskana (talk) 19:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New evidence just to hand: the similarity between posts of the latest vandal account: e.g. [25] with posts of banned sockpuppet User:Feipleo at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/PalaceGuard008. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 13:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
