Dramacow Ryulong / Michael Cohen - Fanatic Wikisperg, Anti-Gamergater and All Around Asshole

So one way to look for evidence could be to check what his known meatpuppets were editing, and then see if the 2601 IPs are also active there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...danL&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=2016&month=-1

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.ph...aine&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=2016&month=-1

Lets look at this one which both meatpuppets and Ryulong have edited: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JoJolion&action=history

Use the Tools (View History - Revision history statistics or Edits by user to see individual edits) to get more info. https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-articleinfo/?article=JoJolion&project=en.wikipedia.org

Ryulong is 65% of the edits on this JoJolion page. 1% are meatpuppet 1, 1% are meatpuppet 2, and then there's a bunch of edits from the 2601 IPs.

Hipstrs, what tool did you use to build that list of all edits by all those different IP users?

I'm working on a draft of a message for the Wikipedia admins, and it looks like all the non-meta articles that are edited are Ryulong articles, or articles that didn't exist when Ryulong did.

There's literally no distinction between an L and R in Japanese (it's more like a consonant that's somewhat in-between the two). Makes translating some stuff kinda tricky.

It's very easy if you're Ryulong. Just decide on one of them like you decide on a pair of shoes and then obsessively stick with it. Problem solved!

@Sarcastic Username I just copied and pasted them from each IP's user contributions page. Thanks to this edit most of them were already in chronological order. If you give me 15 minutes I'll edit in the edits from the IPs we didn't know about when the list was made.

[EDIT] Done. Just to be on the safe side I left out 2601:140:8206:3980:546B:5DB1:54C9:DA22 because the only part that matched the rest was "2601:140". It's not the biggest loss, it was only two edit anyways.

That IP seems to match the same Geolocate as the others, though.

https://db-ip.com/2601:140:8206:3980:546B:5DB1:54C9:DA22
 
Oh, I hope I was working from the new list.

Here is my draft. I tried to keep it in Wiki format, so I hope it comes through here.

Once we have this finalized, do we have someone willing to post it? Hopefully from an account with some decent history that you don't mind being associated with Kiwis in the obvious backlash?

Do we want to add in any off-Wiki stuff, like his banning from Bleach Wiki?

If that's at all accurate we got the wrong sperg.

Good thing it's probably not.

I'm out. My one account was banned for vandalism.

We don't need to. He's already banned.

Looks good! I don't really have any suggestions.

I would, but I don't want my account associated with KF. Sorry.

I would add a bit (also RationalWiki GG page), if only to show that his edit-warring and translations haven't changed.
 
@Sarcastic Username
a) Why so secretive and vague all of a sudden?
b) If you have a reddit account go bug Salvidrim. He's a former meatpuppet for Ryulong that has shown himself to be sick of Ryulong's shit. But be warned, there's a chance he might not be that helpful. He's shown an unwillingness to act against Ryulong because he doesn't want to get punished for being a meatpuppet. But as this issue has nothing to do with puppets of any kind, there's a chance he'll be helpful.
 
It says a lot about wikipedia that reporting an obvious sock of a permabanned spastic requires sacrificing an established account.

Can't somebody just use a burner?

If you guys are that worried, email Arbcom. They are the ones who enforced the ban, and if you have evidence he's sockpuppeting his ass off, send it to them.

Worst case, nothing happens. Best case, he gets fucked over for ban evading, more salt flows.

I'm not a wikisperg, I'm just amazed that any website could breed this kind of culture where people are literally afraid to report a sockpuppet. I thought Noll's anonymous feedback feature was dumb at first but now I see the wisdom in it.

The internet in which Wikipedia was formed is a far cry from the internet of today.

I've been busy and away from the thread, but here is what happened earlier this week.

Ryulong's sock-puppet-investigation page has been created several times, and an admin has salted it so that it cannot be recreated without his say-so. This is also the admin who issued Ryulong's ban.

I've never had a Wikipedia account before, so I signed up and created in its sandbox the full article detailing the evidence, fully sourced against pages on the Wiki. I then asked that admin to unlock the page on his talk page.

The admin reverted my request with "rv trolling" and then burnt my sandbox to the ground, destroying my draft. I don't mean he reverted it. He completely destroyed it, so you can't even look through the logs to see it. Then he locked the account for "sock puppet."

As a new user, it's basically impossible to shake the accusation of being a sockpuppet, and the next admin completely locked my account down.

I have two theories:

1. this admin is a friend of Ryulong's. Since Ryulong was going to be banned, he made sure he did it so it could happen respectfully to Ryulong.

2. this admin is just sick of Ryulong bullshit, from any quarter.

In either case, normal channels won't work.
