I hope this is the right place to leave a comment. Taking a look at this Commons noticeboard section, opened by me, you can find various details about the user's vandalisms that IMHO could be useful here also. After the notice of the user Mike Rosoft i've seen that the style of Jermboy27 here and the one of HorseWitch on Commons seems to be the same. Today he/she uploaded a picture this one, adding in the "Author" parameter the signature "Jermboy27" instead of HorseWitch. So I think there are no more doubts. IMHO crosswiki-vandal, also active vandalizing road signs pages on French and Polish Wikipedias. Regards. --Dэя-Бøяg 18:44, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About a week ago I blocked User:Jermboytold for creation of unreferenced articles about road signs ("Badziki" being the last straw) and as a sockpuppet of User:Jermboy27. A couple of days later, he returned as User:Jermboytold2. I request a checkuser to catch potential other accounts and to block his IP address.

The nth sockpuppets of Jermboy27. Same field of interest (road signs), recreation of the page Road signs in Nepal (created by his last SP Omegaelmo78), same style for road sign pages (when they are not hoaxes using normal US/UK signs for countries as Kuwait, they look like a Commons' gallery)... The "yield" in the name confirms that he is JB... It is a sort of mania of him for this sign. For further infos, see Commons:ANV/Jermboy27. Note: Yieldtheguy1 is also on Commons, see this deletion request. --Dэя-Бøяg 00:43, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A DUCK SPI since the behaviour and editing style/interests (road signs) is typical of Jermboy and his socks. Also uploaded images on Commons that links him to past socks. Bidgee (talk) 06:21, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppet
Another sockpuppet of Jermboy27, indef blocked on Commons (for who doesn't know how is dangerous this vandal, i suggest this complete report). Same field, the road signs. Btw, this edits are normal but it is in the style of Jermboy to get smoke in the eyes. 11 edits to substitute a ".jpg" with a ".svg". --Dэя-Бøяg 22:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Jermbollano is another sock of the Jermboy sock master. Besides the similarity in user name, this account has been making numerous edits related to road signs (Jermboy's main focus) and creating articles such as Road signs in Senegal which are clearly false. I believe this is an obvious case of socking. Furthermore, I believe that Bareyman61 is a sock of Jermbollano because they both have made the same edits to Comparison of European road signs adding the "No Equestrians" sign (1, 2). Bareyman61 has already been blocked for edit warring on that article and using an IP to evade that block. Fry1989 eh? 17:24, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is an obvious sock, considering the similarity in name with Jermbollano who I did a report for 3 weeks ago. Also has edited Comparison of European road signs, and created their own road sign comparison table. I don't think a checkuser is required for a global lock of this one too.

Another obvious sock with that user name, along with the associated IP. Both have been editing Road signs in Burma which is an obvious fake article. No checkuser seems necessary, please block both and delete the article in question. Also considering this has been the 3rd sock report I have prepared for this user in as many months, I would strongly suggest a range block. Fry1989 eh? 16:50, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User contributions and focus make this appear to be another Jermboy sock. They have uploaded fake road signs on Commons (this sign does not exist in the Philippine signs manual), as well as fake articles here on Wikipedia, such as Comparison of ATCMD-Influenced traffic signs. There is no such "Asia-America Traffic Control Manual Devices" as they call it. They are also adding it to templates incorrectly. I don't believe a checkuser is required per the Duck test.

The persistent abuse in the last 24 hours towards Comparison of European road signs, I can only ascribe to Jermboy. I had to file a vandalism report because it required immediate attention, but the IP has only been blocked for 2 days. I request a sock investigation, and ultimately a range block if it comes positive. Fry1989 eh? 19:01, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: Thanks for the policy link, I am aware that IPs are normally not handed long-term blocks. My comment is based on the other Jermboy IPs which, if blocked at all, have been blocked for one week, then one year when they invariably return: 203.97.254.233, 101.166.195.231. Nobody else has ever edited from this IP, it won't hurt anything to block it for a year right off the bat, but for policy. Best left up to admins, of course. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:04, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: If nobody edited from that IP before, than there is a big possibility that the IP is dynamic. Blocking a dynamic IP for a year would be very, very wrong. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:06, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Regarding why I requested a range block, Jermboy is a long-term sockpuppeteer with no signs of getting tired of playing this game. The number of socks detected/verified on Wikipedia and Commons are extensive. Only a few days ago, I did a sock investigation for Jecoman and within a few days, there has been both IP abuse and the emergence of Jecomanisback. If it is believed that a range block would not be helpful, I retract my request. Fry1989 eh? 23:35, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a new user account that has appeared in the last day and their first edits were to create a new road signs article. Per the Duck Test, that's evidence enough. If positive, delete the article as well please. Fry1989 eh? 18:22, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a new user, editing within the last 2 days, and they are already creating nonsense traffic sign comparison tables and adding them to Template:Traffic signs.

Main interest is in roads, the other two socks have only ever interacted with Thent1234, adding unreferenced content and fake images of signs (uploaded onto Commons[3][4][5]). The style of writing and interaction is a WP:DUCK.

Also has been editing in non-road related articles[6][7][8][9][10][11], similar to Jermboy27, as are the usernames. Thegwh32 and Thent1234 edit summary style is similar, if not the same, both use Google Maps/Street View as a source Thegwh32 and Thent1234. This is also rather strange, as was this barnstars by Thevic1234 and the two[12][13] GA reviews done by a very new account (Altnr1), that Thent1234 happen to ask on the talk page. Lastly there has been some copyright/plagiarism been detected [14][15]. Since there seems to be new account (Altnr1 and seems to use different accounts before abandon them, Thegwh32 being one), a check of other socks and sleepers is requested. While this happened on Commons, they removed my comments on the likely being sock puppets of Jermboy27 and attempted a speedy deletion of the deletion page, but they have demonstrate the same lack of understanding that Jermboy had. Bidgee (talk) 11:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bidgee

I didn't know there was a user called Jermboy27 till yesterday. If Jermboy27 lives in Perth, and I live in Sydney, it's not the case. Also I am a huge Kylie Fan, and the other accounts i.e. Thevic1234 and Altnr1 are accounts of my friends borrowing my laptop. Thegwh32 has nothing to do with this, keep them out. Yes we all are new to Wikipedia and I don't think Thegwh32 even knows what Jermboy27 is. We both use Maps as our sources but yes we are separate and Thevic1234 and Altnr1 haven't cited anyhting yet.

Thent1234 (✉) 00:36, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jermboy27 was also known to edit from NZ IPs and Perth IPs but the last case that looked at IPs was in 2016 (so all we know is the sock may have moved or is using a proxy). There was enough evidence to point that there maybe a connection due to the editing style and fake signs. I highly doubt the other accounts are "friends", the editing style is the same as your own (including edit summaries). Bidgee (talk) 01:21, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IPs are of Jermboy27/Thent1234 by passing the block, more evidence that the user changes IPs and possibly created new accounts, so a CU is required based of past behaviour. WAgoesalphanumeric is extremely suspect, the last sock openly admitted that they are from Sydney, as does the new account.

The explanation of the user name from both Thent1234[16] is also rather similar in style WAgoesalphanumeric[17], it is also interesting that an Sydney based Educational Institute IP attempted to vandalise a Thent1234 related page back in October (based off the filter log [can share the link privately to CUs]). Thent1234 also had mentioned they lived in Townsville, WAgoesalphanumeric added an item to an obscure draft page. Further more is rather experienced for a "new user", undone AussieLegend's revert of Thent1234's removal. Interests in Australian roads[18][19], along with the very similar edit summary and editing styles. Bidgee (talk) 12:33, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Created on 24 December, AussieCoinCollector was originally known as RealLifeLorefan80 but was renamed on the 8 January 2021, the original name follows the same standard of naming we have seen in the past from Jermboy27. Although they have started editing in other areas (e.g. Australian coins) they have still edited in Australian road related pages (main and talk, [26], [27], [28]) and follows the same patten and behaviour as previous socks. They also state that they're from Sydney, in a contribution showed that they are from the same area as the past recent socks (can provide privately to CU, since I do not like to out the detailed location of editors) but they did create a template for the Western Sydney University and Western Sydney, which is in the area/region the past socks have stated they are from. The suspected sock's username signature is also of interest " wish the entire world's COVID-19 status was like WA, 275+ days of no local cases :) " and editing WA relates articles ([29], [30], [31]), Jermboy's IPs in the early days were from WA (Perth).

The suspected sock has also been rather sloppy when it comes to editing ([32], [33]) including editing bios ([34], [35], [36], Joseph Pisenti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Joseph_Pisenti) AfD) and creating road articles for roads that really don't need their own article and using Wikipedia as a source, editing a draft that one of their socks (WAgoesalphanumeric) had edited, which is the same patten (editing style) and behaviour the Jermboy socks have done in the past. What makes the case much stronger is the removal of Thent1234 name from the NT WikiProject, same style of GA reviews. I have had zero interaction with but they mentioned myself on their own talk page, gets involved in an old talk page discussion where they have mode zero contributions to and of interest add a template to a harrasment account (Jermboy created User:Bidgeeeee in November) and lists another other Jermboy27 sock (Barneyuj (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) at User talk:AmandaNP/UAA/Blacklist. Also like the last sock(s), states that Google Maps/Street View is reliable.

I have requested a CU for any other sock accounts that have been created per past recent history of the sock master. Bidgee (talk) 05:46, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dang, that is unfortunate. I'll have to stay aware of this editing pattern for the future. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 04:40, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The last sock, BidgeeIsADictator was clearly a harassment account. This account has put, Bidgee Dictator [37] on User:Bidgee's talk page and username is also road related. Also edited Wagga Wagga as well,[38] which is a city (or town, it's kinda debatable but that's for another day) in the Riverina and is what User:Bidgee is interested in. Since the account is a vandalism only account, it needs to be blocked.

I would want a hard block on that IP address and request a CU check for any other sleepers.

(Also on a side note, the account BidgeeIsADictator hasn't been tagged. 14.200.144.191 (talk) 03:36, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
