Hello everyone, recently on ANI, I and two other checkusers notified the community about Riley and Gwickwire sharing an account password. Several members of the community have expressed concern about how I obtained this information, and some have accused me of fishing. I just want to respond public ally on the matter since the first chance I got was after the ANI thread was closed. This all started with processing a request at ACC. There was an active and recent block on the request, so I ran the IP through CU to get the users. One of the two users mentioned showed up. Due to the nature of the IP and the information given to me by said user, I checked the user. The user also requested information from inside CU. In the check, the case came up that Riley had given access to his account to Gwickwire at somepoint.
Some of you wonder why we took this to ANI, it's because Riley had access to sensitive data, and did not follow community norms for account sharing. There was no way to verify that the password had been changed. Also, there was a disconnect in the story. Riley claimed not to have access to his account, yet he was able to give Gwickwire a temporary password...I don't understand how that's possible, and it has yet to have been explained to me.
I encourage any of you that still have concerns about my use of the tool to contact the Audit Subcommittee for them to do a full investigation.
I am really sad to see that these members of the community have left, and I wish them the best on their real life journey. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 00:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Your CU was apparently done sometime before 21:43 1 May. This account was created the following day after I blocked Damonthesis. I'm fairly certain it's either a sock or a meat puppet. Should I reopen the SPI, or can something be done without going to that trouble? I could also block based on duck. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 01:04, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

You should have known better than to block a famous President. You're gonna get it. Sorry, but that edit summary was so funny, I just had to share it with someone. AutomaticStrikeout ( T • C • Sign AAPT) 02:23, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey DeltaQuad; Kaldari has finished scripting a set of potential replacements available to test and give feedback on. Please go to this thread for more detail on how to enable them. Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 14:54, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
You recently blocked User:Emile Largo as a sockpuppet of blocked/banned editor. He or she appears to have used another account to continue editing. Can you please block this other account, too? Thanks! ElKevbo ( talk) 23:15, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
One of the stale users is no longer stale KonstantineUO ( talk · contribs), and an editor is asking if you can look again. I've still only done the users that moved to the new case and haven't reviewed everything there. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 01:48, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

There are growing concerns that Amiram Goldblum is himself editing the article about him. He has two accounts: User:Rastiniak and User:רסטיניאק. Take a look at the this sockpuppet investigation. Also, read the following discussion. רסטיניאק has removed the POV tag from the article twice so far: 1 and 2. While I don't find this subject particularly interesting, I'm alarmed by the fact that Goldblum is fighting tooth and nail to get users who question the neutrality of his article to get blocked. I request you to help us determine whether the two accounts indeed belong to Goldblum. Nataev ( talk) 11:27, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Please, help me, User:Safetidhehyria reappeared as alternative account of User:Sulmues (again), but both that and User:Sulmuesi were abandoned in order to hide traces and fresh start. For more see this SPI. User is master sockpuppeteer, and it is indef blocked on User:Futbollisti. Please, block this problematic DE user, and please, mark or block those two old account, as user will try again to slip away with it. I dont know to open a SPI at old archived SPI... :( -- WhiteWriter speaks 20:35, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

I am blocked by you, until December 9, 2015, because "the IP range [I] am editing from is a web host provider." I would like it if you could please unblock me, as it means I can't use Google Chrome to edit Wikipedia anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jinkinson ( talk • contribs) 00:09, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Can some CheckUser or someone work on the SPI for Beefyted69? He probably has sleepers out there that he's using to get around autoconfirm and the few he's already probably used need to be checked too. It's been several days, which is enough time for any new sleeper accounts to get around the autoconfirmed, so someone should get on that soon. Smartyllama ( talk) 17:46, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
