Pretty much identical edits to University of Toronto Complaining about how they fired him for anti-semitic reasons. Original banned account edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Toronto&type=revision&diff=929968734&oldid=929572035 New account edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Toronto&type=revision&diff=935882549&oldid=935126209 Naraht (talk) 11:00, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly the same troubled guy. Already blocked. Nothing more to do. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 12:34, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Similar changes to University of Toronto. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Toronto&diff=prev&oldid=937359543 for sock1, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Toronto&type=revision&diff=937354852&oldid=937113574 for sock2. American Jewish Congress already blocked as representing an organization, but should probably be listed anyway for historical Naraht (talk) 17:36, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both made the same kinds of edits to University of Toronto over allegations of antisemitism. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 01:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for being an obvious sockpuppet. Previous cases have been checkusered; keeping open to let a clerk or CU decide whether to close and/or how to tag. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:27, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - Everybody in the archive is stale, but maybe there's still something in the notes that's worth comparing to and/or sleepers? If Israeli Rabbi is a sock (and they probably are), they would be the new master. It would be nice to have that confirmed before renaming the case. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No sleepers immediately visible. As Roy noted, the CU data of the archive is stale, but the account is consistent with the range/location of previous socks per the log. Mz7 (talk) 18:59, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Renamed case Rabbi Zaltzman -> Israeli Rabbi. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Re-blocking / tagging with Israeli Rabbi as the new master. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:48, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Same old kind of edit to List of universities in Canada about their grievance against University of Toronto. The username is a variant of one of old sockpuppet accounts. Northern Moonlight 09:26, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - Clerk note: Virtually certain to be a sock. Not just general style, but this by International and this by Israeli cite the exact same case number. Worth a look for more sleepers. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:44, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed. No obvious sleepers. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:14, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User made near identical edit regarding with relation to anti-Semitism at the University of Toronto. Similar style of writing, and use of sources (including directly quoting the case numbers). See edit diff for Israeli Rabbi here, and for BlackLivesMatter1 here. Also reflected in the contribution history of other identified socks. Leventio (talk) 09:07, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Blocked and tagged BlackLivesMatter1. They were already soft-blocked for username issues, but reblocking as a sock. Also semi-protected University of Toronto for a year. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
PS: I'm not that familiar with edit filters, but maybe somebody who is more into those could look into creating a filter for "CV-19-00614817-0000"? -- RoySmith (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quack. Name similarity to blocked sock user:International anti-racism journalist. Same focus on the Israeli University of Toronto graduate student and his lawsuit [1] [2] (compare to [3] by the master). I was about to take this user to ANI for personal attacks and apparent legal threats (see his talk page) when he posted some summaries on his talk page that were actually made by his previous sock International anti-racism journalist [4]. I hadn't run across him before so I didn't realize this was a sock. Meters (talk) 07:33, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IP modified [5] Anti-racism juournalist's post to his own talk page just minutes after the original post was made. [6] Meters (talk) 07:41, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh, this guy's back? Blocked and tagged, and the IP for a week. In case anybody sees this again, mentioning the case number (CV-19-00614817-0000) is a dead give-away. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:12, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, semi-protected List of universities in Canada. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quack. Name similarity to previous socks, and the same old University of Toronto grad student lawsuit shtick [10], this time on Ontario since his target from last week, List of universities in Canada, is now protected. Meters (talk) 06:00, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Above diff is virtually identical to [11] by last week's sock user:Anti-racism juournalist Meters (talk) 06:04, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
