Lostanos[edit]

Lostanos appeared out of nowhere (brand new account), tagged 50-ish existing blocked Hkelkar socks with sockpuppet templates, was noticed by several people and blocked by me.

Corvus' first impression was that this was Hkelkar on a PR stunt of some sort, and I tend to agree. Given that a bunch more were blocked earlier today...

Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also see [4] where they explicitly admit to being a secondary account of an existing user, and state that they're going to go back to editing with that one. Which may be completely innocent, but is at the least suspicious behavior with this particular account. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:21, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Since now[edit]

  • Code letter: B
  • Supporting evidence:

[5] [6] .

Hi, while a request for checkuser for a new account with only a small number of edits might seem against the spirit of this page, I have reason to believe that the user User:Since now may be a sockpuppet of User:Hkelkar. The only other time I have been accused of poisoning the well, or have encountered allegations of blood libel, (which I find incredibly offensive and an indication of bad faith editing) was on the Criticism of HRW page, where Hkelkar focussed almost entirely on inserting references to the SAAG, and removing material and statements critical of Hindu involvement in the Gujarat riots (and inserting statements downplaying the same). Hkelkar has used many puppets, and has been blocked many times. Given the extremely similar editing behaviour, and the possibility of this being a single purpose account, I feel a checkuser is justified. If there are no connections, I withdraw and apologise.

Hkelkar[edit]

New accounts jump straight into controversial editing with a POV similar to Hkelkar's. Several of these accounts' edits follow in the footsteps of User:Bakasuprman (e.g. [7] and [8]) and other users have accused these accounts of being socks of Bakasuprman. It seems more likely that this is Hkelkar. The two-word usernames like Stripwaves and Giveover match other Hkelkar socks like User:Helptypes and User:Guideurge. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Gr8India[edit]

Gr8India's choice of username suggests an Indian nationalist POV similar to Hkelkar.

Gr8India self-identifies as Jewish,[10] just as Hkelkar did.

Account's first edit yesterday at 23:54 is to change "Muslim" to "Islamofascist" (an favorite bugbear of Hkelkar's) in the article "Anti-Hinduism"[11] (a favorite haunt of Hkelkar's).

Gr8India similarly inserts the phrase "Islamist terrorism and Islamofascism" into the article "India-Israel relations".[12]

3 of Gr8India's first 4 edits are to ballot-stuff Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Hkelkar 2/Workshop in support of Hkelkar's allies and in opposition to his adversaries.[13][14][15]

This user is displaying some traits highly reminiscent of banned user (by ArbCom), Hkelkar. Given his other sock, Rumpelstiltskin223, was just blocked (and this account suddenly becomes more frequently used), I am pretty sure, but I want absolute confirmation first. Basically fiest edit was uploading a picture of something related to a "famous Baghdadi Jew philanthropist", which anyone who knows Hkelkar will find mildly amusing as being so blatant.

Hkelkar[edit]

  • Code letter: B, F

User:Rumpelstiltskin223 has been blocked for a week for repeated 3RR violations. I'm very familiar with this editor and his editing patterns.In turn, other editors have alleged that Rumplestiltskin223 is a returning sockpuppet of Hkelkar. [20] As of Today an anonymous IP editor is editing in the exact same articles Rumplestiltskin223 edits, using the same line of rhetoric and engaging in the same practice of blanking text without explanation while demonstrating an awareness of WP policies at the same time (see edit comments). The IP shows a short editing career, and yet he immagiely jumps into the same articles Rumplestiltskin habitually edit wars in. [21] [22] What cements the arguement that the two are the same person is their shared view of Devdasi, including their rebuttals against it being considered a form of prostitution.[23][24] [25] MinaretDk 18:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Edit:I'm new to these proceedings, learning the ropes from some admins. I found that checks on the Hkelkar account have been done in the past. Please just check the anon IP with Rumplestiltskin225. MinaretDk 18:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
(Recusing) "Hkelkar editing under any name or anonymous ip is banned from Wikipedia for one year". Daniel.Bryant 21:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Despite the last check in December finding Hkelkar and Rumplestiltskin225 are ((unlikely)), it has been suggested on ANI that holidays etc. were around that time, meaning Hkelkar would have been away from his old IP; he could be back now. I ask that Rumplestiltskin225 be checked against Hkelkar again for clarification. Daniel.Bryant 21:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I can pretty much guarantee that Hkelkar is editing again. He made this following massive edit to add text to the article Persecution of Hindus:[26]. The anon IP address edited again recently to replace "citations needed" attached to Hkelkar's edits (under the banned sock "Shiva's Trident") with sources to several of those edits.[27] These sources are books, not websites, so it's impossible that anon simply went online and searched the text. One of the books is a 1969 edition, the other 1953. That two unrelated editors would know the exact sources to several occurances of small amounts of texts is almost unfathomable. The sources aren't popular books, and the sourced content aren't verses of poetry or scripture. Added to all the past cases of suspicions against Hkelkar, and the points I raised above, the case that Hkelkar is back is solid. If the anon turns out to match Rumplestiltskin's IP, then it can be safely confirmed that Rumplestiltskin is Hkelkar, regardless of a change of address by the editor. MinaretDk 22:06, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The charges that users editing the same pages are the same user are baseless. Minaretdk is more likely a sock of banned anti-Semitic troll BhaiSaab (talk · contribs) (who has tried to evade the ban before and got caught a few times).Bakaman 22:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Confirmed that IP matches Rumplestiltskin; it's at nomachine.com, which is essentially an open proxy. Hkelkar is stale, though possibly other CUs might have IP backup info. One of Rumplestiltskin's IPs was an open proxy or compromised system of some sort; it's been blocked. I'm thinking we should do a range block on nomachine.com; someone might wish to research this. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 22:43, 3 February 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hkelkar[edit]

  • Code letter: B

User:Rumpelstiltskin223 is a sockpuppet of the user User:Hkelkar who was banned for 1 year on Dec 10. This user became active only after the ban, although the account was created earlier. Pattern of edit of both of them are same, revert all the edits by other users without discussing it, blatant POV pushing, personal attack, incivility. One intersting thing is that the edit using this account is done 24x7 non-stop. How is it humanly possible to edit without sleep or rest 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Same seems to be characteristic of Hkelkar also.

Besides, if you see WP:Sock Puppet the criteria listed is that only block/ban evading sock puppets are bad and there have been no contribs from the other users in some time (one week I believe is the official time frame).

My attention has been drawn to this page by Hkelkar.I haven't been editing much on account of the fact that I have been busy with my academic work.I must point out that this "sockpuppetry" accusation is essentially a McCarthyist witch-hunt by Ikonoblast (formerly User:Holywarrior; if you have popups then you can see his former block-log) who has been a long time sparring partner, of sort, of mine and, from what I can see from his contribs, Hkelkar's as well. He has also made similar accusations before in order to extract summary judgements and get those people blocked who expose his illicit abuse of wikipedia (such as mis-citing POV claims, OR, and routine harrassment of several wikipedia users). As you can see, I have not been blocked for long time so the accusation of block/ban evading sockpuppetry is moot. If you see the earlier RFCU, then you will see that we have adequately proved (to the best of our abilities) as different users to two admins on irc (consult admins User:Srikeit and User:Blnguyen for details).Plus, I'm sure a simple perusal into the apache server logs will establish that we are two different people from two different places.RFCU's such as this, from what I can see, are a platform for summary judgements based on little or no evidence and no criteria other than the whims of the admin viewing the page. I urge the admins to investigate all objective records, including isp logs, Apache logs, and the past RFCU before making hasty decisions.G'Day.Shiva's Trident 17:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
