[edit]Look at the edit of Golan heights is our : [1]
He was blocked and a couple days later Golan heights is not occupied shows up
Look at the edits of Golan heights is not occupied: [2][3][4]
Golan heights is not occupied was blocked and made three failed appeals [5]
Then a newly registered account Improvisealot123 (not blocked) shows up and continues the same discussion as the two previous accounts [6]
Also notice with all these three accounts the construction of the posts, how he puts the sentences after each other in the same way, how he types with small letters at the beginning of new sentences/words. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 15:36, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit]I had reverted 91.207.220.74 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) making unblock requests on Golan heights is not occupied's talkpage, and they are current blocked as a proxy by zzuuzz. Since that is an anonymizing proxy, I'm not sure how useful that information will be but figured it might help. Syrthiss (talk) 15:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I too believe that all these are the same. A key thing to note is that most of these use bad English, while Improvisealot123 uses good English but has the other features that SD points out above. Given that User:Ani medjool's notoriously bad English has been parodied in the past by pro-Israeli editors, I think that this little farm may be operated by someone with a longer connection with Wikipedia. A CU would be usseful to clear that up.--Peter cohen (talk) 20:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit]I don't think a CU is needed here, this is probably enough for a DUCK block. As was states before, the IP used is a proxy, so a CU probably wouldn't help in that case. (X! · talk) · @850 · 19:24, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Confirmed Improvisealot123 = FLWalker = user:Stellarkid (note: tagged as related to user:Dajudem & user:Tundrabuggy but I'm not familiar with that), and Likely that user:Golan heights is our = user:Golan heights is not occupied and that they are the same as Stellarkid, but I've run out of pixie dust.

[edit]This is a bit complicated, first read everything in this SPI:[7] it turned out that Stellarkid (really Dajudem), Golan heights is our, Golan heights is not occupied, Improvisealot123 and FLWalker are the same.
Now the behaviour of Golan heights is our, Golan heights is not occupied, Improvisealot123 were identical as explained in the SPI I linked to above, they continued the same discussion as each other and the construction of the posts were identical how sentences were put after each other in the same way, and also with small letters at the beginning of new sentences.
There was some IPs that did the exact same posts as the accounts mentioned above.
Now the Megaidler account has admitted that these IP comments were from him: [8] He has therefore edited the talkpage with several IPs. And these comments from the IPs are identical to the confirmed socks of Stellarkid (Dajudem). --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 23:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit]- Clerk endorsed - I think this is a WP:DUCK case, but I think it's prudent to get a double-check, and a check for sleepers while we're at it may not be a bad idea due to the activity. Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 07:34, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Same geographic area, different network fingerprints. Brandon (talk) 07:34, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Megaidler indefinitely blocked and tagged. The behavioral patterns are spot-on. –MuZemike 21:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
