Grawp, 23 August 2008

Some older socks for visual comparison
Tonight's batch of socks for technical comparison
Some new socks to check
  • Code letter: G

The first two listed are much older Grawp socks, obvious on sight and already blocked; I'm including these to demonstrate a link to some of the listed usernames, which are based on song lyrics. The next four were active tonight, and are likewise blocked, around the same time these last three were created; I'm including them for technical comparison. Also interesting to note, it appears Grawp is back to creating accounts locally, rather than globalizing them from other wikis.

So. These last three seem related to me; does technical evidence support that? May be worthwhile to check for underlying proxies/ranges, in the meantime. – Luna Santin (talk) 09:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The first, oldest example are now  Stale, so not much use.
 Confirmed - these are Grawp, 100% certain again;
  1. Serpent Sibyl (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - with 5 more accounts registered using an open proxy.
  2. Ki-Adi-Mundi (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - open proxy, no additional accounts.
  3. Larsdana Ap Neut (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - with 5 more accounts registered using an open proxy.
  4. ØØ (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - open proxy.
 Confirmed -The last three are also Grawp. 100% certain, and there are the usual other three socks. The single IP is a TOR exit node but it's still Grawp:
  1. I know the pieces fit cause I watched them tumble down (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  2. The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  3. Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
 IP blocked all TOR nodes and open proxies, hardblocked - Alison 09:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More recent page move vandals, edit summaries say "brought to you by Grawp" --Boss Big (talk) 13:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't know whether I am right or wrong here, but should this be even listed when all the named accounts are already blocked? The accounts pose no threat to the encyclopedia now surely? Rudget (Help?) 17:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict with Rudget, hopefully this should answer his query :) Case  Relisted to requests for checkuser, appears to have been neglected at the time of filing. Not sure of the value of it being listed (all accounts are blocked as Grawp socks and tagged), but listing for CU attention regardless; the final call is not for the clerks to make. Anthøny 17:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. That makes sense. Thanks. Rudget (Help?) 17:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The CheckUsers may be able to find sleeper accounts, as well as block underlying IP's, which usually include open proxies and Tor nodes. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 18:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Generally, Grawp gets checkusered pretty thoroughly. It's probably better at this point to add the name of the latest account to the IP check section, just in case there were no checkusers on line at the time he showed up. Thatcher 00:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


All three are accounts suspected to be used by Grawp (The first is the original; the second two both vandalized my userpage along with various other pages.) If we can find a common IP address or range, we can perhaps locate Grawps real IP which will be useful in an abuse report that I've filed. Even if we only turn up proxies, we can at least block them.Urban Rose 23:45, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk assistance requested: Merge with Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Grawp please.

  • Grawp operates from a range that can not be blocked without potentially affecting a large number of users, and sometimes he goes elsewhere. If you can get his ISP to take action, then any checkuser can get the exact IP he used for any given edit, and his ISP should be able to track him down from that. However, release of the IP must be approved by the Foundation attorney, Mike Godwin. Thatcher 00:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Merged from Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Grawp accounts. – Luna Santin (talk) 04:45, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not an administrator here. I’m an ordinary Wikipedian. I’ve had it up to here with Grawp on other Wikis where I am an administrator. If you apply a range block against Grawp with any luck his Internet Service Provider will terminate the contract. The ISP won’t want to inconvenience very many customers for the sake of one account. Then with any luck other ISP’s might blacklist Grawp. Proxima Centauri 2 (talk) 06:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not gonna work, as Grawp uses TOR as a supplement should his range(s) be blocked. Besides, Wikipedia can't block ranges larger than /16 (due to technical issues); if Grawp's operating from a larger range we cannot block it. -Jéské (v^_^v Mrrph-mph!) 06:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

information Note: I have no idea what to do here. There are no other registered accounts associated with those IPs or the user Cjhard. I have no idea how this is one person coming from Florida, British Telecom, and Iceland, among other places. Try listing the IPs at WP:OPP where they can do a more thorough check for open proxies than I can. Thatcher 15:38, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, that's Grawp. Maybe you should ask User:Jéské Couriano; he's done the Open Proxy thing before and knows Grawp well; believes it's a botnet. Some of this may be due to posts on an off-wiki-forum such as 4chan; see [3]. I gotta go; it's late where I live. If you want to find more, just watch for edits undoing mine. Cheers, Jack Merridew 15:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm siding with Thatcher. This is not Grawp; this looks to be the same people that have been harassing Milburn as of late. Although I will note that I believe that Grawp and 4chan are allied, thus these users are proxying for him. WP:RBI. -Jéské (v^_^v Detarder) 23:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I may have leapt too quickly to the assumption of this being Grawp. If it is whomever has left the "I suggest you leave…" message on my and User:J Milburn's talk pages, then there's still the D&D commonality. Whoever it is is quite persistent. I have no objections to this section of this page getting split-off to another. I've reverted this sort of thing on the order of a thousand times. Cheers, Jack Merridew 06:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC) nb: I'm away for most of the coming week.[reply]


All the users are reverting the addition of in-universe, nofootnotes, notability, and context tags on Dungeons & Dragons creature articles posted by Gavin.collins (talk · contribs) ([4], [5], [6], [7]). Users are currently edit-warring to keep the tags off, making me suspect these are socks meant to bypass 3RR concerns. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 00:35, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user is likely also connected to User:Señor Gray Dwarf, User:Duergarthedwarf, and User:Señor Gray Duergar. 207.229.140.148 (talk) 00:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Per information here, is it too much to ask that the underlying IP(s) also be blocked? -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 01:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Submitting some more for consideration:

These are from Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Senang Hati (impersonator) and have all either dogged my edits or removed D&D clean-up tags; there are hosts of anons doing it, too. This all started after I began expressing concerns re D&D articles. A Look at the vandalism of my user and talk pages shows a lot of the same sort of out of box thinking.

There are also several users in "good standing" who aggressively remove clean-up tags from D&D articles:

This has become a major long-term disruption and harassment issue and warrants serious attention and strong action. --Jack Merridew 09:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, I must thank all of the vandal patrols and Jack Merridew for acting in such a timely fashion. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

?Javier removed obvious vandalism, (the word c**ks), and you're saying that shows he's a wrong'un and part of a complicated conspiracy? Merkinsmum 13:28, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just as a comment, I've only removed a small handful of tags recently and only when clearly justified IMO. Jack, and to a much greater extent Gavin, have been adding what seem to be large number of ill considered tags. I've removed about 1% of the tags added by Jack and Gavin in the last 30 days, often after fixing up the article. Hobit (talk) 15:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, I heavily doubt, borderline refute, that Hobit is involved with this group of puppets. Rray, however, I don't know much about. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 19:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's not much to know; I'm just another Wikipedian. No sock puppetry here though, and I'm focusing on other things besides RPG articles now anyway. Best of luck dealing with the disruptive editors. :) Rray (talk) 20:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re Hobit and Rray; I only listed these users because they have also removed some tags. This is "circumstantial" — and it would serve the users well for an unrelated determination to be made. Please do not let this serve as a distraction to the core issue here: a determined campaign of disruption and harassment. nb: some of the obvious vandals have not been blocked and I would urge anyone with that button who is reviewing things here, to press it where appropriate. --Jack Merridew 05:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you could add the following:

I think you will find these are also a single purpose accounts intent on vandalism. --Gavin Collins (talk) 11:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk assistance requested: - can we merge in the half-done "Jack Merridew impersonator and tag remover" request from the IP section below and work through the sock groupings again, please? They're both obviously the same case and there is massive ongoing sock abuse here. It's going to be a messy case! - Alison 20:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, here are all the suspected socks that need checking:


And the IPs:


 Clerk note: All done. Hopefully this helps. Keilana|Parlez ici 21:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dispute that User:Hobit and User:Rray are sockpuppets, or "masterminds" of these sockpuppets. If I am incorrect, I will be the first to publicly apologize to all involved parties. If their inclusion is based solely on the "circumstantial" dispute of a tiny fraction of edits by User:Gavin.collins and others, then you must include me on this list as well, as I have disputed a tiny fraction too. --Craw-daddy | T | 22:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree; these socks have all (to the exclusion of anything else) targeted Gavin.collins' taggings; Hobit and Rray have not. As it is, I have been reverting all the tag-removal and semiprotecting each article I revert so that it's harder for him to attack articles. However, if we can get him on so much as a single ISP, this might be enough for an abuse-report. Or, if he's using proxies, we can plug those (unless they are Tors). -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 03:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked the IP for the death threat; your TP is semi'd, as is Gavin's. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 05:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This group of IPs may be useful. They all restored the same personal attack on Talk:Sarrukh that was first posted by User:Luckyevent diff. They are in oldest to most recent order.

Group 2

edit
All of these are the same user, most likely Grawp. There is user overlap between these sub-groupings as there are two very distinct ISPs being used, so you may see duplicates across the groups

information Note: - a lot of the above are tagged as socks of Grawp and I suspect that's exactly who this is. It should be possible to block all these by hardblocking three /16 ranges associated with a dialup ISP with surprisingly little collateral damage

The Duergar and Dwarf theme ties them together, but this is a shared IP. All three groups are in the same geographic location so they are most likely related in some way. And yet again, some of these are tagged as Grawp.

following cross-posted from the checkuser/IP check request

I request a clarification; above lists as confirmed that Senang Hati (talk · contribs) is part of the Jack whatever harassers; that is my old account that was usurped after my username was changed; the edits by the usurper are now at Senang Hati (impersonator) (talk · contribs) and I believe the conclusion should be changed to reflect that. See:

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive343#I'm being harassed by my old account
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard/Archive 8#I was harassed by my former account

I am also unclear as to what the second confirmation has determined other than that the 3 Cyric accounts are related to each other. Please note the the actual edits by the Cyric accounts are all very much in support of the harassment by Senang Hati (impersonator) (talk · contribs). See:

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive346#User:Cyric the All - harassment

Basically, I don't want the page that refers users to my current page to be listed as a sockpuppet; this is why the pages/account were renamed. Thanks, Jack Merridew 06:32, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

information Note: - I can state here that the account Senang Hati (impersonator) (talk · contribs) is Red X Unrelated to Jack Merridew above, and that Jack Merridew is Red X Unrelated to any of the sock accounts examined here - Alison 07:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk assistance requested: - can we possibly rename this case to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Grawp as this is the master account and the name everyone's familiar with? Thanks! - Alison 20:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: All tagged and blocked as far as I know, don't think I missed anyone. I will rename shortly. Keilana|Parlez ici 20:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From AN/I, posting here per Alison's request: Coincidentally, Jéské just reported Zhentarim (talk · contribs) at the above checkuser request and it's now  Confirmed as being Grawp. Halruua (talk · contribs) is now also confirmed, as well as Daysroach (talk · contribs) and Toldaside (talk · contribs).  IP blocked also - can someone move these over to the Grawp case at RFCU?

 Confirmed - all of them, and more. Grawp has had enough fun for the moment, so I've applied a month-long rangeblock to 4.168.24.0/24, published here per policy. There are other account, like Selvetarm (talk · contribs), I am not Grawp, but I will get blocked by Misza. (talk · contribs), etc, etc but they're all blocked now. Yes, it's Grawp again - I've now blocked all the unblocked ones - they're in my block logs ... - Alison 04:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Went through their contribution histories and semi-protected every single article they've hit. I only went through the ones you blocked within the past 24 hours; there may be more.
I have asked Wikipedia:WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons to provide me with a list of articles that (a) currenly have or have recently had cleanup tags on them and (b) are currently unprotected so that I have a watchlist in case he comes back after the block. I don't see the semi-protections on any of those articles being lifted anytime soon. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 05:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could I ask for the following user to be checked as well?

Whomtends (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki)

I think this may be a single purpose account. --Gavin Collins (talk) 09:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We have five more IPs here who have left death threats at User talk:Jack Merridew and User talk:Gavin.collins.

 Possible - Likely not Grawp, unless he's moved to the UK. These are all one-off IPs and there's nothing underlying. Tiscali UK DSL range - Alison 21:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another single purpose vandal account has apeared:

24.9.89.134 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))

Could this be a Gawp variant?--Gavin Collins (talk) 05:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly; it resolves to Colorado, as does the range Alison hit. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 01:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It also occurs to me that this person has vandalized most of the random clicks I made on Category:Dungeons & Dragons articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction, and few other people have actually edited those pages recently. If this dude continues relentlessly, we can take the jam out of his donut by mass-semi'ing all of them in one fell swoop (using Twinkle's batch protect) for a month or so. From that point, it makes it more of a pain in the butt to actually accomplish anything without jumping through more hurdles than it's worth— unless, of course, the dude has no life and gets his rocks off to... uhh... vandalizing dungeons and dragons articles repeatedly? :P By the way, don't we have a dungeons and dragons wiki somewhere already? --slakrtalk / 10:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm semi'ing each D&D article he hits indefinitely as I see them. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 10:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I just remembered, check out User:VoABot II's watchlists/category watchlists. It might be an easier alternative to protection. *shrug*. --slakrtalk / 03:42, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not in this case; the main problem is removal of cleanup tags placed by User:Gavin.collins and a legitimate removal could unintentionally trigger the bot. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 21:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
