Tom Sayle 5

  • Supporting evidence

This is a bit of a different request. Andy Bjornovich aka Tom Sayle aka 55 other names has requested unblock. He has been denied, twice, but another admin ( Sandstein) asked him to provide a list of all his other accounts as a first step towards possibly being unblocked. They're listed above, but they're all IPs; I find it unlikely that there are no named accounts we don't know about yet.

Coren, as the original blocking admin, has also denied the request, asking Andy/Tom to work through the 2nd chance process. Assuming in good faith that Andy is able to work within those constraints to post an article to his talk page (though initial edits are not promising, he has put up a proposed dab page), I'd like to see him have the chance to be unblocked--if he has been honest about disclosing all other socks.

A (very) quick chat with a CU told me that this is a reasonable request to make, so I'm asking on the basis of 'clearing out the sockdrawer', given the dozen new IPs that have been provided. // roux    16:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Update: adding 79.74.13.91 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) per this diff. // roux    17:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply

A quick note that this may be moot; the editor in question has continued to attempt gaming the 2nd chance process by submitting sub stub BLPs. I've redirected their talk and protected given that there is no desire to actually work on the encyclopedia, but a great deal of wasted admin energy wasted. —  Coren  (talk) 19:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Hah, you beat me here! :P I think it's still worth asking CU to clean out anything remaining in the sockdrawer. Given your prot of his talkpage, I have the feeling weel be seeing either more anons or more named in 3..2..1... // roux    19:05, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Tom Sayle

  • Supporting evidence: See: this ANI report. User:HalfShadow has been receiving numerous threatening vandalisms from the above IP range, and it seems likely that this range is used extensively by Tom Sayle. See [13]. A /17 range is quite large; if we could narrow this down to smaller ranges which could still be effective, perhaps it would remove the nuisance from a long-time sockpuppeteer and vandal. Per a suggestion from User:Rlevse, I have started this RFCU. -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 01:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

I semi-prot'd Half's talk page for a month last night. All the range block possibilities I tried came up /17 which would block over 32K IPs, which I'm not comfortable with. Therefore, this is  Deferred another CU for additional input. RlevseTalk 11:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

You learn something new every day...Wknight94 ( talk) 18:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Just to clarify, Thatcher, are you saying that you would, based on the checkuser evidence of the range listed above, support a 79.74.0.0/17 anon-only rangeblock? Just want to be clear that this is a good idea before we do it... -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 17:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply
If the problem can be dealt with by semi-protecting Half's talk page, that would be the more conservative approach. On the other hand, an anon block on the range will have little collateral damage. Thatcher 18:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Thanks. If the problems stay contained to Half's talk page, then we shouldn't need to rangeblock. His talk page is semi-protected now. If this guy starts acting up again, and starts causing more wide ranging problems, I will consider it. Thanks. -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 18:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

  •  Clerk assistance requested: Question: does this mean I should change 'suspected' to 'confirmed' sock on his userpage, blank & redir everything? Or does the blocking admin handle that? roux ] [ x 20:13, 23 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Oh dear, might also want to check these, per this. this diff from Wafulz' page (I think he did the first Tom Sayle block) should also be handy.

Tom Sayle

  • Supporting evidence: See: this ANI report. User:HalfShadow has been receiving numerous threatening vandalisms from the above IP range, and it seems likely that this range is used extensively by Tom Sayle. See [13]. A /17 range is quite large; if we could narrow this down to smaller ranges which could still be effective, perhaps it would remove the nuisance from a long-time sockpuppeteer and vandal. Per a suggestion from User:Rlevse, I have started this RFCU. -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 01:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

I semi-prot'd Half's talk page for a month last night. All the range block possibilities I tried came up /17 which would block over 32K IPs, which I'm not comfortable with. Therefore, this is  Deferred another CU for additional input. RlevseTalk 11:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

 Clerk note: Interesting that there is no user creation log for User:Mr. Secondattempt. Part of an ancient sleeper sock drawer? — Wknight94 ( talk) 13:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Just to clarify, Thatcher, are you saying that you would, based on the checkuser evidence of the range listed above, support a 79.74.0.0/17 anon-only rangeblock? Just want to be clear that this is a good idea before we do it... -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 17:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply
If the problem can be dealt with by semi-protecting Half's talk page, that would be the more conservative approach. On the other hand, an anon block on the range will have little collateral damage. Thatcher 18:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Thanks. If the problems stay contained to Half's talk page, then we shouldn't need to rangeblock. His talk page is semi-protected now. If this guy starts acting up again, and starts causing more wide ranging problems, I will consider it. Thanks. -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 18:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC) reply
