Okay, if you see the history page of
- Note: Hi. We can only accept a checkuser case under very limited circumstances, which are spelled out in the section above entitled, "Does your request belong here?" We can't even start taking action on this until you provide the examples of policy violations that you think justify this request. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

- Likely that Recoome is OJHomer. Likely that the IPs other than the 69 one is one or the other of those. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 08:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Please note that User:GO DBZ was added onto this page before, but the user was a clear sockpuppet, and I blocked him as such. No further use of checkuser is required. --Deskana (request backup) 13:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Zarbon, the mucho blocked- and banned- user. Several users have expressed concern that Zarbon may indeed be editing Wikipedia using a new sockpuppet, User:Recoome. User:Power level (Dragon Ball) lists his concerns at my talk page, see User talk:Deskana#Some proof as to how User:Recoome may very well be User:Zarbon. Thank you. --Deskana (For Great Justice!) 20:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Note: In addition, I request that the IP address of this user is disclosed, in accordance with the privacy policy relating to persistant vandalism, to enable me to target IP blocks should the sockpuppets once again come along. This user is persistant, and is consistently creating new sockpuppets and causing trouble. If you are unwilling to disclose the IP address publicly, please e-mail me the IP address and I promise I will both keep it known only to myself, and target blocks in a discreet manner in order to not violate the privacy policy. Thanks. --Deskana (For Great Justice!) 20:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Unlikely. The behaviour does seem odd, but the IP information does not point to them being the same person. Considering the content, it could conceivably be a friend brought into revert, however. Rebecca 00:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Evidence: Zarbon has a long history of apparent sockpuppetry, and I just blocked him today for two months for what is at least his fourth 3RR violation (and possibly his sixth), this one to the article

Zarbon has admitted to using many different IP addresses to bypass blocks in the past (see his talk page and his list of sockpuppets). It appears that he uses Wiki-star to edit Dragon Ball Z articles and upload copyvio images (as he does as Zarbon) while Zarbon is blocked, which is often. Wiki-star has the same issues with civility in his discussions[19][20], the same paranoia [21][22], the same poor grammar, and the same inconsistent formatting of indents and bullet points. Zarbon has claimed to have started the Brendan Filone article, and since Andymack1986's only edit was the creation of that article (just days before Zarbon registered) it stands to reason that they are one and the same. Zarbon is currently listed on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct and it would be helpful to identify his sockpuppets for the purpose of the inquiry. Kafziel 14:54, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Andymack1986 is far too old for extant IP evidence. Absent a serious policy violation we don't comment on actual IPs. Finally Wiki-star is likely not a sockpuppet of Zarbon. Mackensen (talk) 20:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Wow. Kind of scary to imagine that there's more than one of him. Thanks. Kafziel 22:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppet of Zarbon (talk · contribs) who has been blocked and is using various IP addresses to bypass the block. Placed on checkuser per User:Nlu. Kafziel 16:04, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- He's already moved on to 149.68.168.138, and I'm assuming he can cycle through most of that netblock, since most of his other sockpuppets here are in that block. Everything from those IPs appears to be Zarbon at least in terms of editing the same articles he edits in the same way he does. 4.89.242.158 22:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Declined. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 12:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Why??? Kafziel 13:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Please read the policy above. This doesn't meet it. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 01:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- In what way? As I stated above, an admin asked me to post this here so she could be absolutely sure before blocking this IP. Just because he moved on to another IP doesn't mean that he won't be back - if you look at the history of all of his IP address contribs, you'll see he cycles through them. I'm not the one who wrote the whole "editing the same articles in the same way" stuff. The IP address I asked about (149.68.168.147) is clearly tagged and linked with actual proof. If that's too much effort, here you go.
- What's the use of this page if not to link an IP address with an established Sockpuppeteer? In fact, what's the use of this page when everyone has to wait days for a reply, just to get summarily denied without explanation? Kafziel 11:31, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The use of this page is to deal with hard cases, where it is not clear whether sockpuppetry is going on, and where the answer to that question has significant ramifications. The criteria are deliberately narrow due to a consensus that privacy concerns govern except in the most egregious cases. You have to substantiate that the user is disrupting the site in an way that can't be dealt with using any other means as per the criteria listed. If someone is clearly being a pest from multiple IPs, just block them, don't list them here. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 16:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- There, was that so hard? Why couldn't you just say that to begin with? Obviously, most of the people who are posting users to this page are spending a good amount of their time trying to improve Wikipedia, and in my case I specifically said that an admin asked me to post that IP address here before she blocked it. It wouldn't kill you to have enough courtesy to offer more than a "declined". Kafziel 14:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to be difficult or discourteous. This is a fairly new page and we're getting dozens of inappropriate requests, so I'm merely being brief. The majority of the the requests placed here don't meet the criteria, and I'm puzzled as to why people even post them since the page header makes the criteria pretty clear. I have tried to tighten up the wording somewhat on the front matter to help prevent such misunderstandings in the future. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 15:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
