Requests[edit]
- MrProperLawAndOrder (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: The user frequently cites EnWiki policy but doesn't have an account on EnWiki. In addition Edoderoo voiced additional suspicion at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard#User:MrProperLawAndOrder ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 21:54, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Results: @Edoderoo: Which "5-letter-long user" do you refer to here? Other CheckUser's (@Sotiale, BRPever, علاء:) are free to disagree, but I'm not fully comfortable running a check with only the evidence that they cite enwiki policy without having edited there.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- That other user is Jura1, a user on Telegram asked me for this as he/she had the feeling they were the same user. I learned that they took part in the same discussion(s), which made it borderline abusive as I as told. That is all I know so far. Edoderoo (talk) 04:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Edederoo: What evidence is there? I don't think it's characteristic of Jura to cite external policies.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- Agree, I cannot see how MrProperLawAndOrder and Jura1 should be identical. However, User:Jura1 made two related comments on WD:AN in May regarding User:MrProperLawAndOrder (new account from early April), but without mentioning their user name:
- Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive/2020/05#Tamagotchi block (very cryptic, thus not really actionable)
- Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive/2020/05#User:Tamawashi
- In other words, the assumption is that User:MrProperLawAndOrder is an account operated by the person who received a global community ban at meta:Requests for comment/Global ban for Tobias Conradi in 2015, and who is assumed to have returned with lots IP activity and potentially some undeclared accounts since then. I think that quite some users here would agree that this person has never really left Wikimedia projects after the global ban, as they have been around pretty much all the time. Their fields of work, editing patterns, technological skills, formatting quirks, inability to accept consensus against their own position, and tendency to drift into pretty aggressive, accusive conversation manners in conflicts are all remarkable. User:MrProperLawAndOrder looks in many regards meanwhile like a sock of said banned user.
If that assumption was correct, User:MrProperLawAndOrder would have been a rather promising attempt for a clean start, as there was in the beginning not much conflict, but a lot of rather productive work for which they earned some applause from other users. Meanwhile, however, there have been some discussions in June that do not look promising any longer, and are reminiscent of said banned user's behavior.
I am not sure whether I should be happy about this request in the way how it was made. It is also unclear to me whether checkuser can help here at all, as I do not expect them to operate other accounts in parallel for which checkuser data is still available. However, the IP ranges usually used by the user in question are well-known (Telefonica ranges geolocating in Berlin, and sometimes also Hamburg-based IPs of another provider). That said, I would not be surprised if User:MrProperLawAndOrder would be blocked indefinitely rather soon anyways for behavioral reasons.
Disclaimer: recently I had some contact with them as well on Property talk:P213 and the corresponding property. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 13:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

- @Jasper Deng, Sotiale: I suggest what Jura said in Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive/2020/04#Please_semi is about Tobias Conradi, and both the IP and MrProperLawAndOrder edited Property_talk:P7902. And there is almost certainly some information about this user in checkuserwiki.--GZWDer (talk) 13:34, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- On the grounds provided by @MisterSynergy, GZWDer: (but emphatically not the original evidence, which would never have been sufficient to run a check), I declare them
Likely Tobias Conradi based on both technical evidence and the observed behavior. Therefore, their block is upgraded to indefinite as a sock.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:35, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Sotiale, BRPever, علاء: Please lock this account and block any relevant IP ranges.--GZWDer (talk) 00:34, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
27 June 2021[edit]
- HumanAFuser (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: Global ban since 2015, creates socks or works as an IP with a similiar pattern: “in the beginning not much conflict, but a lot of rather productive work for which they earned some applause from other users [but then] some discussions […] that do not look promising any longer” (see above). The “not so promising phase“ has begun.
User:MisterSynergy has compiled a list of typical patterns (see above):
- Field of work: Interest in authority data (“Normdatentroll, SFZ-Troll, ISNI-Troll”, especially around GND ID (P227)-related properties such as Deutsche Biographie (GND) ID (P7902) (also the main field of activity in 2021)
- editing patterns: masses of edits in said field, mostly well-intentioned and productive but as the user has little to no ability to listen and discuss productively, not-so-great edits aren’t removed.
- technological skills as demonstrated in his work on Property talk:P7902
- formatting quirks such as
- inability to accept consensus against their own position
- Edit warring, see Property_talk:P7902#Value_not_a_GND
- edit war on 22 June 2021 about my comment resulted in a partial ban by administrator User:Epìdosis
- tendency to drift into pretty aggressive, accusive conversation manners in conflicts are all remarkable
- demanding “proof”: “Kolja21, wo ist das belegt?”, 2020, 2021, 2021, after this CU has been filed
- pointless arguments, see for example Wikidata:Project_chat#External_ID_property_on_five_items_about_humans_out_of_millions_marked_as_no_value with User:From Hill To Shore.
For further reading on IP ranges and the questionable usefulness of CU and other actions see above.
Just for reference, the following recurring elements of the user’s behavior might lie in the future:
- long lists with perceived wrongdoings of other users:
- accusing others of vandalism
--Emu (talk) 15:06, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- +1. Same user as 77.183.151.129 and User:Michael Montag. --Kolja21 (talk) 17:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Based on username and field of work, User:Matthias_Mittwoch is another one to look at. —MisterSynergy (talk) 11:54, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Results: We have Michael Montag and HumanAFuser Confirmed to be the same. I would say (with the behavioral evidence) that it is
Likely that they are Tobias Conradi.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Jasper Deng: Items created through https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/57984 and https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/57971 have very near resemblances with item created through https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/35535 b MrProperLawAndOrder. Given the evidence, I think to have to proceed as in 2020. --Epìdosis 08:08, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Epìdosis: Wikidata have no policy to delete pages merely because of they are created by blocked users, not is it a established practice.--GZWDer (talk) 09:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- @GZWDer, Jasper Deng: I perfectly agree, of course! With "I think to have to proceed as in 2020" in fact I meant the necessity of blocking the accounts as socks, not of deleting the items they created; in fact, as in 2020, I am against their deletion (and they weren't deleted in 2020) and I support their enrichment instead. --Epìdosis 11:12, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

- Humanisator (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
- Field of work: check, GND and similar authority data
- editing patterns: should be obvious from Special:Contributions/Humanisator
- technological skills: as always, Tobias shows quite some talent in his endeavours
- formatting quirks, inability to accept consensus against their own position and tendency to drift into pretty aggressive manners: see this textbook case including this: “It seems as if the goal of Kolja21 posting here is not to improve items about entities of type human that have or may have a P227 claim in the Wikimedia project named "Wikidata", but to create drama to intimidate a contributor and maybe get him kicked-out”
To be honest, I’m not even sure that we need a RfC per w:en:WP:RBI and w:en:WP:DUCK, but Epìdosis suggested one @Kolja21, Epìdosis, MisterSynergy: --Emu (talk) 12:30, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

- Herrenloses Damenfahrrad (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Another likely successor account. @1997kB, BRPever, Jasper Deng, Sotiale, علاء: Could we have some indication whether you plan to follow up on this case? Or do you consider this to be outside of CU territory? I don’t want to be pushy but this is a user with a lot of potential to disrupt Wikidata. --Emu (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Effectively these users starting immediately to write to other users asking for confirmations or edits regarding authority IDs are quite suspect (e.g. recently also Salatalık Kral (talk • contribs • logs)). --Epìdosis 17:29, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- That account is
Confirmed to the above three accounts.--Jasper Deng (talk) 21:17, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- That account is
- The above three are
Confirmed to be the same and
Likely Tobias Conradi. Herrenloses Damenfahrrad is
Confirmed to be Tobias.--Jasper Deng (talk) 21:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Comment[edit]
@Kolja21, Epìdosis, MisterSynergy, Emu:
Werte Wikidata-Normdatler,
ich bin ein ehemaliges Mitglied der Redaktion Chemie der Wikipedia. Derzeit habe ich einen kaputten Knöchel und mache deswegen kurzweilige Wikidata-Edits.
Auf meiner früheren Arbeitsstelle sollte ich arbeiten und nicht Wikidata bearbeiten. Daher gewöhnte ich mir damals an, jeweils 50 (max. 65) Edits mit einem Wegwerf-Account zu tätigen und danach wieder ein neues Konto anzulegen. Es soll daher kein Geheimnis sein, dass ich
- Dawn Shaughnessy (talk • contribs • logs)
- Generation Abtreibung (talk • contribs • logs)
- Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (talk • contribs • logs)
- Herrenloses Damenfahrrad (talk • contribs • logs)
- Grifters gotta grift (talk • contribs • logs)
angelegt habe. Alle Konten haben dasselbe Passwort, das ich meinetwegen einem von euch mitteilen könnte.
Aus der Mehrzahl der Konten könnte man mir wohl einen Strick drehen: Ich weise darauf hin, dass sie konsekutiv aufeinander folgen und es keine zeitlichen Überschneidungen gibt. Ich logge mich üblicherweise nie wieder in alte Konten ein.
Über die Relevanz von Dingen (notability) kann man immer streiten, ich würde aber für jeden inhaltlichen Edit meine Hand ins Feuer legen.
Ich stelle gerne meine Telekom-Telefonnummer auf pastebin, lasse mich anrufen und kann dann beliebige mich verifizierende Edits von jedem dieser Konten tätigen.
PS: Bitte werft mich nicht mit dem Normdatentrolltroll zusammen. Ich habe mit jedem Konto z.B. Duplikate nach Property talk:P214/Duplicates/humans zusammengelegt. Ich hoffe sehr, dass ich dabei keinen einzigen Fehler gemacht habe. Falls doch, bitte mitteilen.
Bei Muḥammad Sallām Madkūr habe ich aufgrund der schwachen Datenlage nicht einfach zusammengelegt, sondern Kolja21, den ich schon oft als kurzen Dienstweg zur DNB benutzt habe (er möge mir das verzeihen), gefragt.
Bei nach DNB-Daten erstellten Datenobjekten von Russen oder Arabern fehlt oft der Name im Alphabet des Herkunftlands. Das korrigiere ich gerne. Beim Thailändischen fehlt mir die Fähigkeit dazu, sodass ich bei Sō̜nphachan Thavīkham peinlicherweise Google Translate benutzt habe. Habe ich sonst noch weitere Sünden begangen? Keines meiner Konten hat irgenwelche Debatten geführt wie der obige Troll.
CU-Hinweis: Ich editiere stets von einem Telekom-Heimanschluss im PLZ-Gebiet 38 aus.
Viele Grüße,
--Grifters gotta grift (talk) 16:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

12 April 2023[edit]
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: Bukky658 posted an unblock request at User talk:Bukky658. This is a CU block, but Jasper Deng who applied it is inactive.The request seems reasonable to me and I am ready to support it, but I can not lift the block because I am not a checkuser. Could one of the checkusers please have a look and see whether the block (which might be a false positive) could be lifted. Thanks. Ymblanter (talk) 21:51, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks Ymblanter. There are three other open unblock requests that have also been tied to this one (and hence to Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/Marcyway4) and which are also potentially exonerated by the same explanation (see Semmy1960 in particular for more background information):

Comment Sotiale Can you please close this request? --Alaa :)..! 21:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- I don't recall the details of this request, but the conclusion was that Bukky658 was most likely not related to other users. Relationships between different users are all inconclusive as they were not the focus of my investigation at the time. --Sotiale (talk) 08:42, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Sotiale So does that mean we can unblock them? Bovlb (talk) 16:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- It's just that Bukky658 is unrelated to other accounts, and I'm not sure if other accounts other than Bukky658 are related to each other. In my investigation, it was not the target. If this investigation is still needed, please let me know. If there is a checkuser who judged them as socks, please ask him/her first. --Sotiale (talk) 05:15, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- All three were blocked by Jasper Deng, who has refused to respond to any queries on the matter for several months now. I would really appreciate it if another checkuser could pick up the slack here. You should be aware that this egregious delay in responding to unblock requests has already led to calls to disband local checkusers. Bovlb (talk) 15:00, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Sotiale What do we need to do to move this forward? Bovlb (talk) 18:15, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Bovlb: It's a bit limited data, and there are difficulties in that respect, but I just conducted the investigation to the best of my ability. I just lifted blocks on Semmy1960 and TemiteeonDiamond. Fortunately, Semmy1960 logged in a while ago. This is based on currently available data. Khaddy4 was left as it is because it was blocked on enwiki with same reason. --Sotiale (talk) 15:08, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Sotiale What do we need to do to move this forward? Bovlb (talk) 18:15, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- All three were blocked by Jasper Deng, who has refused to respond to any queries on the matter for several months now. I would really appreciate it if another checkuser could pick up the slack here. You should be aware that this egregious delay in responding to unblock requests has already led to calls to disband local checkusers. Bovlb (talk) 15:00, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- It's just that Bukky658 is unrelated to other accounts, and I'm not sure if other accounts other than Bukky658 are related to each other. In my investigation, it was not the target. If this investigation is still needed, please let me know. If there is a checkuser who judged them as socks, please ask him/her first. --Sotiale (talk) 05:15, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Sotiale So does that mean we can unblock them? Bovlb (talk) 16:31, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: After Muhammedola got blocked, Cinemepro started to recreate the already deleted items. Both accounts focus on the very same persons and companies. Some of the items were (re-)created by IPs and right away edited by one of those two accounts afterwards. Dorades (talk) 17:48, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Edit: After reviewing the accounts that created items for "Ernest Sturm", this case may be connected to Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/Marcyway4. I also added two older accounts. --Dorades (talk) 18:00, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

- Alexhernanzed (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: User Alex.hernandez7 was recently blocked on behavioural grounds as a likely block evasion by Gold Gang Server (apparently a sock of Marcyway4) because they recreated a deleted item about Gold Gang Server. On User talk:Alex.hernandez7, the user claims that they are not related to the Gold Gang Server account. The other user, Alexhernanzed, has also recreated a deleted item about Gold Gang Server, but has not yet been blocked. Bovlb (talk) 19:52, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
See also Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/Marcyway4.
Results: Completed
Possible Gold Gang Server = Alex.hernandez7
Confirmed Alex.hernandez7 = Alexhernanzed
--Alaa :)..! 14:24, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Based on this equivocal result, I have unblocked Alex.hernandez7 and advised them not to use Alexhernanzed again. Bovlb (talk) 18:14, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
