JarlaxleArtemis

  • Code letter: F, maybe D

The latter has nominated JaraxleArtemis's user page for deletion. (Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:JarlaxleArtemis) And attempted to nominate Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of JarlaxleArtemis at MfD, but a helpful admin moved that part of the nom to WP:UCFD.

From Wikipedia:Right to Vanish

All Wikipedia users have the right to leave; the Wikipedia community will typically accord the right to vanish to users in good standing who exercise their right to leave.

Noting the lack of contributions of the user, and the content of the username, this would seem to clearly quack.

See also: User:JarlaxleArtemis for some links concerning previous situations.

Happy to further clarify any of the above if I'm able. - jc37 05:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, first off-I see no issue with deleting the JarlaxleArtemis pages; indeed, I actually deleted one of the subpages myself earlier today - this one, as I'd been informed that the long-gone editor's full name and location were present. I was disappointed to see that the editor not only created socks for the sole purpose of removing their own personally identifying information from their old userpage, but that they were constantly reverted and blocked for doing same. While they've no right to edit, they've a right to personal privacy, banned/blocked or not. The fact that someone saw my deletion probably triggered the events above and in this case ....
Though JaraxleArtemis (talk · contribs) and all his various socks are well and truly  Stale, the above account is actually  Confirmed as being a sock of JtV/The Italian Vandal/whatever. Also DrizztEntreri (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who's busy running around adding bogus dates to articles - Alison 05:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
information Note: - I've actually gone ahead and speedy-deleted the above userpage per CAT:TEMP. This should actually have been done as a matter of course ages ago. I've not done the same to the sock info page, and have deferred to the community. Oh, and both accounts are blocked and reverted - Alison 06:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you.
Does this mean that if we presume that User:Pleasedeletethepage is User:JarlaxleArtemis per WP:DUCK, then we've found a link to another set of sock vandals? Only asking, since I'm guessing that this should/could be noted "somewhere"? - jc37 07:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, User:Pleasedeletethepage is Red X Unrelated to User:JarlaxleArtemis. JtV is notorious for impersonating other editors. He'd convinced just about everyone that he was User:Encyclopedist for the longest time. He wasn't! :/ - Alison 07:30, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


User:JarlaxleArtemis

For the last four days, the banned user JarlaxleArtemis (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (see WP:JARLAXLE) has been creating throwaway accounts to perform mass additions of templates to the same set of articles (see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#JarlaxleArtemis sock to block). Can someone check the IPs for these accounts to determine whether an IP block is feasible? (He's been known to use open proxies, though we might be lucky this time.) The accounts so far are as follows:

JarlaxleArtemis

  • Code letter: C, F

It is suspected that the above accounts have been or are being used by JarlaxleArtemis (talkcontribs) in violation of his community ban (see administrators' decision, 3rd Request for Arbitration, and block log). Most of them have been used to vandalize User:Psychonaut (history), User talk:Psychonaut (history) and other pages (see various User contributions pages) within the past week. Kreplinnnn (talkcontribs) in particular was recently used to post an AfD of a questionable and likely vexatious nature; if it can be proved that Kreplinnnn (talkcontribs) and JarlaxleArtemis (talkcontribs) are the same user then we can save the community the trouble of considering it.

A list of IPs and user accounts previously verified (via checkuser) to have been used by JarlaxleArtemis (talkcontribs) can be found at Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of JarlaxleArtemis. —Psychonaut 02:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed particularly with regard to Kreplinnnn and the "donkey" accounts. I haven't searched the others exhaustively as a pattern seems clear. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 15:47, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can the IP or IP ranges being used to create and use these throwaway accounts be blocked? —Psychonaut 15:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another note: 69.50.208.4 is spamming password requests for many users. I got hit yesterday. ~crazytales56297 O rly? Ya rly! 16:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
