Rationale, discussion and results

edit

Reason: In patrolling recent accounts I came across Special:Contributions/Shank1austintye who was blocked by @Bovlb: and in the block reason was linked to a bunch of other blocked accounts going back to the original user Geniusbrains0001. Reporting here for the record and in the hopes that the underlying IP(s) can be blocked. I've listed 105.113.20.118 since that was also blocked as evasion of Geniusbrains0001 but fully understand you cannot publicly link the address.

This case is a bit complicated so it may take a lot of time, but I don't have time for that right now. Either another checkuser will handle it or I will take my time.. soon? It will happen anyway. --Sotiale (talk) 11:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is related to the recreation of items on "Bennett Shanks" [1] and some associated repurposing of John Bennett Shank (Q113777269). If this keeps up, I'll probably create an abuse filter to block on sight. Bovlb (talk) 19:58, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wow how have I never heard of that tool? Inability to easily track recreations is one of the biggest problems I have with wikidata and that tool essentially solves it! DannyS712 (talk) 21:59, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See phab:T297513. I see this tool as a useful prototype that should be taken over by the regular engineering team. Bovlb (talk) 23:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Results:

Because these are so complex, they may be the same user or may be different spammers. --Sotiale (talk) 11:06, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
