User:Stubes99 was indefinitely blocked in August 2010 for block evasion.
His own testimony revealed that the account User:Celebration1981 (also indefinitely blocked for "numerous copyright violations and harassment of other editors" and followed by other socks: [1] [2]) was also his. In other message, he declared that he is editing wikipedia since 2006 (!) so most probably Celebration1981 is not the original account either.
He was community banned in June 2011.
Targeted areas, pages, themes
[edit]- Medieval, modern and pre-WWI history of Hungary (Matthias Corvinus, Andrew II of Hungary, Ladislaus I of Hungary, György Dózsa, Black Army of Hungary, Hungarian Revolution of 1848, Austria-Hungary, Hungarian Turanism, etc.).
- Science and technology in Hungary; Hungarian inventions (Science and technology in Hungary, Electric locomotive, Transformer, Ganz Works, History of television, Electric motor, Video camera tube, Cathode ray tube, Iconoscope, etc.).
Habitual behavior
[edit]- Periodically he abandons his account and creates a new one, even if the other one is still unblocked.
- Has little to no respect for any sanctions (blocks, SPIs, reverts) made against him. On many occasions he immediately used his new sockpuppet to resume editing the same article he previously edited/continue the same discussion he was involved in with his previous sock. The corresponding SPI article documents countless occurrences of such cases.
- Uses an impressive list of IP ranges to make his edits/register his new sockpuppet accounts. This can be mostly explained by the fact that he uses any available Wi-Fi AP to do his bidding, public and private alike (at e.g. restaurants, railway stations, government buildings, malls, private apartments, universities, information kiosks, museums, etc.).
- Uses a commandeering tone with little to no willingness for compromises at best and personal attacks and racist/xenophobic remarks attacks against editors (including administrators) at worst: [3][4][5][6][7]. He often uses the words romani or romani-an instead of Romanian, thus asserting that Romanians and Romani (Gypsies) are one and the same; the word "Cigány" (the Hungarian-language equivalent) is sometimes used. He has expressed opposition to the Slovak people as well: [8] [9]. He also usually accuses others of chauvinism: [10] [11] [12].
