NOTE: I attempted to add the template specified in the notice below to the checkuser page which it links, but I don't know if I did it properly or in the right place / on the right page. — Athaenara ✉ 02:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm feel certain that another recently created account, Madingogo (talk · contribs), is also a sock of Prester John. Both Scrublett and Madingogo have done nothing else but go through my contributions list, reverting my contributions. Prester John was banned twice for doing the same thing. --Lester 05:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also Pricklyshark (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) resumed systematically removing Lester's edits. Sarah 15:46, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We are reasonably confident these are PJ, but need checkuser confirmation in case there are other accounts waiting in the wings. Orderinchaos 16:09, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The following accounts should be reviewed individually, to see if their edit patterns match with Prester John's known edit patterns.

Everything else that I found was already blocked.

Thanks Deskana. I've blocked: Sharif Abdul, I Wake Up Screaming and Matamoros. The other three have too few edits for me to be sure of so I shall keep an eye on them. Cheers, Sarah 16:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Relisted:
I believe this edit by anon IP 67.101.148.99 was also likely to be Prester John. IP location matches Prester's previously stated location, on PJ's favourite article. --Lester 20:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are the 166.190.* IPs at [1] likely or not likely to be Prester John? Orderinchaos 05:07, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User:166.190.20.66 is a malicious account doing exactly the same activity as the others, that is, reverting my contributions. It's gotta be Prester John hiding behind that IP. --Lester 15:40, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That and about 20 other IPs in the same general region (166.190.* and 166.191.*). He now appears to be editing from a hotel. Orderinchaos 00:29, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here's another one: Hypopostumus (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki).--Lester 04:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
32.158.27.68 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))
32.157.119.190 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)) sample from new range SatuSuro 07:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was just attacked by 32.159.136.84 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)), and earlier in the day by Putz removal (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) (that last one's already been blocked)
The 32.* ones are owned by Cingular Networks who I believe are a mobile phone company. Orderinchaos 22:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Confirmed:
  • Putz removal
  • Hypopostumus
  • Brin-sur-Seille
  • Mariamu Mtakatifu
  • Xu Xiangqian
The 32.* IPs are obviously him too, but the range is /8 and so can't be blocked. 166.190.20.66 is also him. Sam Korn (smoddy)

  • Supporting evidence:
 Confirmed - Prester John (talk · contribs) = C.Marsh b.Lillee (talk · contribs) , also:
 Possible - Nishisuzu (talk · contribs)
There are other accounts under this one, domestic IP address but I believe them to be unrelated - Alison ❤ 06:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Running checks and seeing where they led revealed some new socks. All have been blocked and tagged. See also this Wikistalk report
