Reason(s): Block evasion. Please also check sv-Wiki and da-Wiki, in addition to no-Wiki. NicaMariaTeodora2012 just published the following cross wiki machine translations no:MCND (deleted), sv:MCND (moved to user space) and da:MCND. This subject has been published as cross wiki machine translation in more than 30 wikis by MaryTheo2012, which got globally blocked for this yesterday. 1000mm (talk) 10:36, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Sock puppet

Confirmed at en-Wiki: en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MaryTheo2012, locally blocked and global block already requested: Steward requests/Global#Global lock for 2 MaryTheo2012 socks. 1000mm (talk) 13:26, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Global block Done later on 1 August.

@Xaosflux, maybe you can close this one? 1000mm (talk) 18:07, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason(s): These changes seemed strange to me (1, 2, 3, 4). The user/account who wrote the four comments is the same user/account who created the articles. They copied and pasted the same comment under each one. Sincerely, Qədir (talk) 17:25, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Discussion:

Reason(s): BallerinaCappuccinaMiMiMiMi has been locally blocked at no-Wiki for months now, for publishing raw machine translations without proofreading, or even the knowledge of proofreading a text in Norwegian. Yagmurl just published a machine translated text (deleted by another sysop – if it needs to be restored on order for the investigation, let me know) no:Crush (musikkgruppe), which used tr-Wiki as a source. Only a few minutes prior, BallerinaCappuccinaMiMiMiMi published the exact same text at fr-Wiki: fr:Crush (groupe de musique) using the same tr-Wiki version as a source: https://tr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=37692309 It's very suspicious that a fresh account happen to publish a trasnlation from tr-Wiki, minutes after a blocked account has published the exact same text and source on another language version. 1000mm (talk) 16:44, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Discussion: w:zh:Wikipedia:傀儡調查/案件/EditorB2025Oct

Reason(s): Block appeal check, Sirenaliang shares same editing interest with Notesbylu on promoting a company, thus blocked by duck case. While S requested a block appeal, claimed they didn't know and not relevant with Notesbylu and only use a single account in Wikimedia, in a off-wiki ticket[1]. Requesting CU to confirm, thanks. aqurs 🍧 03:43, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

CU log
Discussion: [[2]]

Reason(s): Possible block evasion by Visnu92, which was globally locked. Suspected pro-Tamil + anti-Chinese POV pushing. Refer to link in Discussion section. PeaceSeekers (talk) 11:07, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

V92 has been locked for 11 months, there would be no checkuser data to compare, What do you want us to compare? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:15, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Is there any other ways to check whether Sayaanakmalaysia92 is block evading the Visnu92? Hakimi97 (talk) 16:01, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

The primarily based on behavioural evidence suggesting possible block evasion. Sayaanakmalaysia92 appears to show editing patterns similar to Visnu92, including a strong focus on India- and Tamil-related articles, adding Tamil script to articles not specifically related to Tamil Nadu or the Tamil language, and removing Chinese-language or China-related content from various articles.

The discussion page contains diffs showing these similarities between the two accounts. Since a technical CheckUser comparison is no longer possible, could you please advise whether the behavioural evidence can be reviewed for possible block evasion, or whether there is another appropriate process for handling this case?

Thank you. Foryou42686 (talk) 05:41, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

mswiki has active local admins that can review user conduct/behavior. Is there anything else requiring technical steward action here? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:33, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Okay then, if nothing could be done here, please close this request as it is currently hard to take any further actions here. Hakimi97 (talk) 14:11, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Not done stale data, behavioral concerns referred to use local process. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:47, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason(s): I confronted Vogoje2 because he uploaded several selfies of Aleksa Đukanović to Commons, but he claims not to be that person. The user has edited across multiple Wikimedia projects. Several accounts have been used on different wikis, with this article as their sole contribution. I believe that the same person is behind all of these accounts and that he is the subject of the article himself.

--Erlanger16e (talk) 15:14, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

@Erlanger16e you Are not normal Vogoje2 (talk) 17:02, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

He was banned from frwiki for failing to comply with the transparency requirement despite one or more warnings. He is also suspected of cross-wiki spamming, an issue that is currently being discussed on the administrators' noticeboard. Erlanger16e (talk) 17:20, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Not done - CheckUser data only goes back 3 months. More than a year has already elapsed for 3 of these users, so a CU check can no longer be undertaken. - -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 09:04, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

All of these accounts, in particular, edited s:vi:Hiến pháp Việt Nam Cộng hòa 1967. Please compare the named accounts and perform range blocks as necessary.

Discussion: [3]

Reason(s): This user was blocked about 1 year ago. However, there are other users with similar names and changes. Arguments were presented in the discussion link. I think this user used various accounts to bypass the block. I am applying to identify all the accounts he used. See also: [4] Turgut46^✉ 17:27, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

I can't check all of these because their edits are past the 3-month data retention period, so the CheckUser data is no longer available. You'll have to rely on behavioural evidence. - -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 20:03, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Discussion: here, here and here

Reason(s): User names 2, 3, 4 and 5 were previously banned by me (sole sysop of Persian Wiktionary), due to their vandal acts. Majed47 made his account just a month ago (probably because his other accounts were banned). Today, this user objected my admin election, by using weird wooden language and without any proof of who and what is being objected.The.shahab (talk) 20:46, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

Update: here, Majed47 directly called me a "psychopath". Due to the principle of incivility, I banned it. Now, we have Tâgoo Kmangir, which is surely their suckpoppet. The.shahab (talk) 06:27, 20 August 2026 (UTC)
