Requests for comment/Abigor

Concerns of July 3

See Steward_requests/Global#Global_lock_for_Abigor.

A whole slew of complaints related to Abigor turned up the morning of July 3, leading to checkusers on various wikis, and the following request for a global lock:

• Serious (cross-wiki) harrassment of sysops and wikipedians after blocks on nl.wiki and meta after vandalism, editwarring, misuse of rights, violating bot policy, privacy violations and more. This morning created a serious privacy violation account on meta which has been locked/hidden as well by stewards. Many checkusers performed to unravel the network of sockpuppets on nl-wiki, commons and meta. Mathonius 07:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

  Abigor is blocked in many projects, also lost his global rights due to distrust. Although he holds sysop rights in two other projects, but I think lock is necessary to make an end of this. I see no reason to keep an sock-master unlocked. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 07:25, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

← Please see Commons:Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Delay. I will be honest, I looked into these accusations a while ago and did in fact find that Abigor = Delay but failed to see any editing overlap or abuse occurring on commons. Tiptoety ^talk 15:55, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

The reason stated is "Serious (cross-wiki) harrassment of sysops and wikipedians". Would it be possible to add a few diffs for that claim? --MGA73 17:43, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I have unlocked User:Abigor; this will give the affected user a chance to comment, and permit a more thorough discussion. In the case there is any abuse, the lock may be reinstated. --Eptalon 17:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

• Well, after reading through this and checking the effected wikis, it seems clear that this user has been disruptive and I agree with all of the local blocks that have been instituted. However, since Abigor is still around in some IRC channels, and doesn't appear to be trolling in them, this raises doubts in my mind. So I'd personally like to hear it from him; why were the socks made, and what is the reason for the disruptive behaviour of late? Ajraddatz (Talk) 19:44, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm happy to respond to that... Below there is a list with the accounts seen as socks by the dutch commety after every one there is explanetion.

  • Dirt Diver (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^{(alt • mw)} • CA • gblock • xwiki blocks • SC • lwcheckuser) A account I created here so I could edit on meta and all other wiki's while I could stay out of the discussion heat for a while. There is no secret about it.. Since it only created userpages and only did real edits on meta I didn't break any policies... Its no missuse done.

I'm sorry to say but all the sterkebak SterkeBak accounts are noted on my userpage, and bots are no socks. Huib talk ^Abigor 19:56, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
