GreekWarrior[edit]

request links: main • edit • links • history • watch
Filed: 17:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Code letter: B

GreekWarrior was banned from Wikipedia for one year in November 2006, in accordance with Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/GreekWarrior. His ban was reset in February 2007, after using 86.144.84.207 (talk · contribs) to continue the vandalism that got him banned. 80.250.128.5 (talk · contribs) has made similar pro-Greek, anti-Turkish pov edits. Baristarim (talk · contribs) added the IP to Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of GreekWarrior about two months ago. If this is indeed GreekWarrior, his ban will have to be reset.

Checkuser request and rationale filed at related Arbcom page: [1]. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GreekWarrior[edit]

Additional IPs added by Fut.Perf.:

User:GreekWarrior was blocked in January for six months due to serious disruption and recently returned to "editing". Upon reviewing his rather volatile edits over the last 24 hours I noticed he signed this post made by an anon, 86.140.42.192 registered to BT in the UK. Upon further review of another article he frequented I noticed 86.138.0.221 was also a BT registered IP which has been used throughout his blocking period and not exactly quietly either. If this CU provides suitable evidence I would imagine an indefinite block is in order.

86.140.42.192, with gems like [2] is certainly him. Because there have been no recent edits, CheckUser offers no more evidence for 86.138.0.221 than what we already know: they're in the same range. Behavior may or may not make the connection obvious already. Dmcdevit·t 08:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Just for the record, I'm adding two more IPs above, and I'd suggest the behaviour profile of the .0.221 IP is also obviously enough identical (mixture of decent Greek-culture related edits with blatant nationalist hate outbursts) that we can safely assign it to him too, which means he was also block-evading all the time. Please also see WP:ANI#GreekWarrior, a thread I started before I noticed this RCU. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes thanks from me too. Without evidence I'm not really sure how to proceed with GreekWarrior however. I blocked the most recent IP "used" for gross incivility/WP:NPA. That IP (86.140.42.67) only edited for the first time yesterday and he does seem to maintain the same for weeks - months before switching (whether intentional I dont know). Anyway, appreciated, cheers Glen 08:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's all obvious enough. We have a positive Checkuser result for the .42.192 one (at least that's what I understand from Dmcdevit's response above, that was meant as an "official" result, right?); we also have instances of clear self-identification of two of the IPs as GreekWarrior (see my report on ANI); and all IPs and the account are linked by obvious common behaviour patterns. Certainly enough for a ban. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I don't suppose User:NickOfCyprus is recent enough to check him too? He's evidently the same user, judged from his profile of interests. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have now Indefinitely blocked GreekWarrior. Thank you for your fantastic help in bringing this to a close. Appreciated Glen 23:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
