[edit]- Posirom (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale, discussion and results
[edit]Reason: Already banned on Finnish Wikipedia for being WPK sockpuppet. Reverting and overwriting files with unsourced edits. --Fenn-O-maniC (talk) 06:58, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Unless @Krd: has data from the previous check, the master (last edit 3 February 2013) and most recent listed sock (last edit 10 October 2022) would be Stale; there would be nothing to which to compare Posirom. (It's unclear whether there had been a CU on fi.wiki, but note for the future that, if there had been, CU results are valid across projects for SUL accounts.) Эlcobbola talk 14:05, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Posirom definitely uses IP addresses from a network WPK used before. I'm not sure if we should call it confirmed, but it looks Likely to me. Krd 14:48, 13 August 2023 (UTC)The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the Request for checkuser. Please do not modify it.

[edit]- Ilj-ML (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
- Sallapland (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale, discussion and results
[edit]Reason: Like WPK~commonswiki, Ilj-ML has made controversial edits to Finnish heraldry files. For example here, Ilj-ML and other sockpuppets of WPK have been doing this for a long time. The other sockpuppet, Sallapland, has only made this edit, in which he supports a deletion request started by Ilj-ML. On the Finnish Wikipedia, WPK is known to have an interest in Salla, and both Ilj-ML and Sallapland have been blocked as sockpuppets there. Paranaja (talk) 21:46, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

[edit]- Bflagge (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale, discussion and results
[edit]Reason: Similar editing patterns to WPK puppets; changing images to his style. Fenn-O-maniC (talk) 06:33, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Declined - Per COM:RFCU, "Checkuser is a last resort for difficult cases; pursue other options first." Bflagge is already blocked as a sock on a sister project and, as no evidence was provided here, the implication would seem to be the editing patterns are so obvious as not to have warranted it (i.e., a duck, which is, indeed, a "request declined" indicator.) No CU action needed. Эlcobbola talk 15:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

[edit]- Zone time (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale, discussion and results
[edit]Reason: Zone time has been making unsupported changes to existing geographical, biogeographical and linguistic areas on several maps of Finland, exactly as WPK has been doing in the past. One example of this type of action is that he has multiple times moved the municipality of Kuhmoinen from the province of Central Finland to the province of Pirkanmaa, which, according to the Local and Regional Government Finland, is simply not correct [1]. I do know that original research is allowed on Commons, but this cannot be treated as anything other than pure vandalism. --Paranaja (talk) 14:56, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
- If someone makes different maps than someone else (or edits the old maps), it does not mean that someone is the same than someone else. Furthermore, the municipality of Kuhmoinen will move to the region of Pirkanmaa: Finnish Government: Government decided on division into regions. Zone time (talk) 20:41, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
- Likely no idea if these edits are valid, but the obnoxious behavior is enough to warrant a blanket revert. Blocked, tagged. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 21:25, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

[edit]- N. F. S. Grundtvig (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale
[edit]- Reason: Same pattern, clear case, but just to confirm. CU request was made on fiwiki as well, but as WPK is not blocked there at the moment, I didn't perform the CU there. You can compare data with User:Christmas Island for example. Stryn (talk) 14:19, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- Likely for User:N. F. S. Grundtvig. User:WPK~commonswiki is stale. --Krd 08:27, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

[edit]- CoArms (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale
[edit]- Reason: User:WPK has been blocked indefinite. And in December 2013 User:Wikiotr was also blocked as a sock of WPK. Earlier also User:SokoWiki was blocked. CoArms also was interested of File:Finland_Greater_Coat_of_Arms.svg as did WPK and Wikiotr. And I know WPK good on fi-wiki, so I know his style. I hope that this is enough for the check. --Stryn (talk) 15:06, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Results
[edit]- Unfortunately, all of the blocked accounts are stale, meaning there is nothing to compare CoArms (talk · contribs) to. That said, I have blocked based on behavioral evidence. Tiptoety talk 16:41, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I could also give some other information how to identify (just IP-related, so don't want to tell it here publicly, though WPK's IP's are known commonly in fi-wiki). But I don't need to tell more, because he's blocked and that case is now closed. --Stryn (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

[edit]- SokoWiki (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale
[edit]- Reason: User:WPK has been blocked for a year. User:SokoWiki has the same modus operandi (uploading his files on top of existing files, the same topics that interest him, the same problems that are discussed on his talk page). I think user:WPK is evading his block. --Pxos (talk) 02:48, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Results
[edit]- He has been identified on fi-wiki. I recommend blocking SokoWiki as a sockpuppet of WPK. --Pxos (talk) 12:56, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Although I don't read Finnish, using Google Translate I see no indication that either account has been blocked at WP:FI. If we're going to rely on a sock identification from another project, I would expect that project to have taken the lead in blocking at least the sock. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:36, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Well, by using Wikipedia's own (&uselang=en) you can see that they both are blocked. WPK and SokoWiki. --Pxos (talk) 13:57, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I'm confused. SokoWiki was blocked for the first time at 14:34 today -- so how did you know he would be blocked when you wrote the message above at 13:57? And, note that there is nothing on WPK's talk page to show that he is blocked -- on most WPs and Commons, there is an automatic message on the talk page. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:06, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Dear God! SokoWiki was blocked 11:34 UTC, which is 14:34 Finnish time. Commons uses the UTC time, so he was blocked over 2 hours before I wrote here. Secondly, WPK is blocked here despite his not having a notice on his talk page. The blocking administrator has not done their job according to Commons standards when they did not leave a block notice. All this is beside the point: both accounts are blocked on fi-wiki by now, SokoWiki has engaged in edit-wars over images and his actions are similar to WPK's. Could I please have someone less confused to act on this matter. --Pxos (talk) 18:14, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry about that -- I'm so accustomed to Commons that I forgot that the WPs use the User's local time.. Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:37, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

- I've asked Jafeluv (a Finnish CU) on his talk page whether he can tell us something about this sockpuppeteer. Trijnsteltalk 15:18, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- Hi guys. There was an investigation on SokoWiki on fi.wp yesterday. WPK is of course long since stale on fi.wp, but they continuously evade their block through IPs and some of our administrators have learned to pick up on the user's MO the moment they show up with a new IP. I ran a check against some of their latest IP edits and found a possible/likely match between SokoWiki and WPK. Feel free to ping me by email if you need the details. Combined with the behavioural evidence SokoWiki was deemed a sockpuppet of WPK and indefinitely blocked. As a side note, the blocking admin is very familiar with WPK since years now [2] and even without the technical match I'd certainly trust their judgment when it comes to this user. Jafeluv (talk) 17:31, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- Done Changed WPK block from one year to indef, blocked SokoWiki indef. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:41, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
