Basic information

[edit]

Slowking4 (talk · contribs · block log · arb · SPI confirmed suspected)
Comprehensive edits analysis

Systematic abuse of the non-free content policy, repeated personal attacks.

Committed to undo 'damage done' by the community, and Betacommand and Beetstra in particular.

Committed to show that IPs can be good editors, targeting to get reverted by anti-vandalism bots.

Targeted areas, pages, themes

[edit]

Biographies, both of living and non-living persons. Articles are sometimes sloppy written or do not pass our inclusion standards. Quantity over quality. Committed to recreate articles by user:Sander.v.Ginkel. Often uploading non-free pictures of deceased people, which sometimes are however easily replaceable (and hence fail NFCC upon close inspection).

Participating in content drives, editing contests, editathons, and similar events with an aim to win and be able to say that they are a 'good contributor'.

Habitual behavior

[edit]
  • Adding images to large numbers of biographies, uploading them if they are not available.
  • Contributing in content drives and contests (sometimes using multiple socks), brags on 'prizes' won in such.
  • Use of typical source material
  • Shows typical language in non-content namespaces.
  • Creating articles through translation and/or copy-paste, often with sloppy content
  • Some socks' usernames appear to be CAPTCHA generated.
