Obvious similarity of usernames, all of which were created within a seven day period between 3 April and 8 April 2015 (the 900 series were all created within two days, 8 and 9 April). All accounts have been involved in copying one-line machine translations of he.wiki articles to en.wiki. (In general, only the first sentence or two of the he.wiki article is translated, regardless of the depth of coverage at he.wiki.) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:08, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • One more. Since the master is already blocked for 72 hours, this must be some other IP, so I did a hard block. Not sure how this will be handled now that more accounts were created with the master blocked, but please feel free to revert to a soft block if merited. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 09:58, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: Hmm, none of the accounts were used concurrently. Seams like he has a new account for every new day. But, he does use them to edit same articles , which is WP:ILLEGIT. I'll try to discuss this issue with him. I posted a meesage on the talk page of the mot recently used account (here). Vanjagenije (talk) 00:07, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I posted a message at User talk:Itailevi901. The user edited after that, but did not answer to my message. I'm calling an admin to indefinitely block all accounts except Itailevi901 (that one is currently active). Vanjagenije (talk) 14:10, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing from last time, the IP block isn't working. There are now 18 accounts. I think a rangeblock is needed. Zeke Essiestudy (talk) 21:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked, tagged. Extended master block for one week and asked again for them to communicate with us. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 22:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm requesting if there's any rangeblock we could use to thwart the master and perhaps force them to communicate. Zeke Essiestudy (talk) 22:37, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Zeke Essiestudy: Because the last report was processed by a checkuser, the rangeblock was already calculated and taken care of. It is implied in the conclusion of the last report. As checkusers may not make correlations between IPs and named accounts publicly that information is not recorded here...but it is being done.

@Berean Hunter: Er...I don't think there's any rangeblocks in place, only 3 possibly non-static IPs. Zeke Essiestudy (talk) 00:27, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps Keegan will expound on his closing and my general statement above. Perhaps I am in error. :)

Good lord.

There are now 25 accounts, and 6 in violation of Itailevi00's block. Requesting checkuser to block an IP range or whatever new IP this user with a mysterious agenda is using. Zeke Essiestudy (talk) 23:25, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. 31 accounts now, and 6 more in violation of Itailevi00's block, as I keep checking in with this link. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=Itailevi&group=&limit=50

The filter isn't working, it seems. At this point, maybe we should just disallow 'Itailevi' altogether because it's obvious anyone who has 'Itailevi' in their name followed by numbers is going to be considered a sock. Zeke Essiestudy (talk) 16:53, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, like previous socks, Itailevi10010 posted a google translated article from Hebrew Wikipedia: Datia Ben-Dor (Google translate of [1]). Itailevi10001 posted google translate of this as Yuval Shem-Tov. Itailevi10001 posted google translation of this here: Hashuda. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:55, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCKish name similarity aside, the sock has created List of marching bands containing a single entry: the IDF Orchestra, a topic about which this sock farm has often written. The other socks have not yet contributed, but this sockmaster is noted for creating multiple accounts and then switching between them as the accounts are blocked. He is also not terribly clever in choosing user names. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After the creation of Kfar Yona Railway Station, in Israel, edited by both users, I opened this AFD (no thraces anywhere). Suspecting the hoax, I found this page. Evident WP:DUCK and, for what I read in the article, an Israel-related vandal. --Dэя-Бøяg 19:20, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
