This page is for requesting CheckUser information on a wiki with no local CheckUsers (see also requesting checkuser access). Make sure to follow the following instructions, or your request may not be processed in a timely manner.

Before making a request:

  1. Make sure you have a good reason for the check. It will only be accepted to counter vandalism or disruption to Wikimedia wikis. Valid reasons include needing a block of the underlying IP or IP range, disruptive sockpuppetry, vote-stacking, and similar disruption where the technical evidence from running a check would prevent or reduce further disruption.
  2. Be specific in your reasons. Ambiguous or insufficient reasons will cause delays. Explain the disruption and why you believe the accounts are related, ideally using diff links or other evidence.
  3. Make sure there are no local checkusers.
  4. Please ensure that the check hasn't already been done:

Thank you AmandaNP for the reply.

User:MonstrumVenandiXXXII is the exact translation of Monsterhunter32.
Monstrum = Monster
Venandi = Hunter
XXXII = 32

And the user is editing in the same topic areas.

But after looking more into this, it seems rather this is the sockpuppet TwoHorned/Xsaorapa impersonating an innocent user (MonsterHunter32). TwoHorned/Xsaorapa is a LTA sock who is indef blocked on multiple wikis and has a massive history of sockpuppetry and of impersonating other users. Please see the new case below. --어떤 자유 사회도 말을 두려워해서는 안 된다 (talk) 23:03, 13 July 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

MonstrumVenandiXXXII (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser )

Reason(s): I added the case about User:MonstrumVenandiXXXII see above. User:MonstrumVenandiXXXII is the exact translation of Monsterhunter32. MonsterHunter32 is an editor who is inactive now and edited about similar topics like the socks. But after looking into details, it seems that another sockpuppet is using socks to impersonate MonsterHunter32, and that MonsterHunter32 is actually innocent. This means that the sockpuppet TwoHorned/Xsaorapa has been using socks to impersonate an innocent user MonsterHunter32. Actually TwoHorned/Xsaorapa has been using socks to impersonate other users previously, for example he used multiple socks to support his main sock on talkpages and even in a dispute resolution process, and he used socks to make fake OTRS claims while claiming that he is a third party.

TwoHorned is a LTA sock who is indef blocked on multiple wikis and has a massive history of sockpuppetry and of impersonating other users. TwoHorned is indef blocked on at least english wikipedia, french wikipedia and wikiquote and had sockpuppetry claims on other wikis.

Xsaorapa is one of the latest sockpuppets of TwoHorned and is indef blocked on wikiquote.

Xsaorapa has been checked several times here at Meta, by Wim b, Ruslik and Sotiale.

Here are some of the cases:

There is also this an overview of User TwoHorned.

To summarize some of the behavioural evidence showing that Xsaorapa is the sock of TwoHorned.

  • Both socks have been using identical phrases, arguments, edits and have identical POVs
  • Both socks are obsessed with Rene Guenon (+ both socks are concerned about exactly the same content about Evola on the Rene Guenon page)
  • Both socks are obsessed with articles about Taqiya, Al-Fatiha, Quran (+ both socks are repeatedly deleting exactly the same content using same arguments and phrases)
  • Both socks are obsessed with the same Jewish and Hindu scholars, especially those that write about Neoconservatism or Politics or about Islamism
  • Both socks are obsessed with articles about Islamic terrorism and with anti-semitic conspiracy theories
  • Both socks have identical behaviours, for example both socks are maintaining large sockfarms and using proxies for hiding socks
  • Both socks have been claiming they are not socking and were later found out to be lying by the checkuser

and

  • Several of the socks edit pages on Taqîya [2] [3] [5] [6] [7]
  • Both accounts are obsessed with Rene Guenon [8] [9] [10] see above
  • Several of the sock accounts were editing the Al-Fatiha ‎ article. [11] [12] [13] and both socks edit a lot on the Quran articles [14] [15]
    • At Al-Fatiha, Feitoria several times deletes content from the Taguieff source [16], the same content is deleted several times with identical arguments (and using identical phrases) by Betapictoris who is a confirmed sock of TwoHorned [17] [18]. This was already pointed out at one of the frwiki SPI.
  • Both write about Ibn Warraq [19] [20] [21] [22] (both argue that he is not a philosopher or humanist)
  • Both write about Jewish relations [23] [24] and secularism [25] [26]

Below are some diffs, more can be added, that show that these new socks are socks of TwoHorned/Xsaorapa.

  • Sylvester Millner:

this user is adding an external link that is promoting genocide denial of the 1971 Bangladesh genocide. This genocide was committed by the Pakistani army against the Bengali population. Three million people died in the genocide (there are different estimates of the death toll, but as with other genocides, there are also genocide deniers, especially among some hardline Pakistanis). TwoHorned/Xsaorapa seems to have created a sock just to add an external link promoting genocide denial. TwoHorned/Xsaorapa has been accused by other users of radical fundamentalist and apologist pov pushing and genocide trivialization. Here Xsaorapa added the npov tag to the same article, presumably because the hardline Pakistani (or genocide denial) viewpoint is missing.

  • ZeGoyMan:

this user is defaming an author, and also removing content about this author. This is typical of TwoHorned/Xsaorapa who has been doing exactly the same to the same author and to many people who hold similar views such as Daniel Pipes. TwoHorned a confirmed sock, see previous SPI at Meta See also this comment [27] [28] by another user See also [29] [30] [31] Also the rearranging of quotes is typical

  • JonMilkins:

Here [32] [33] another user noted how Xsaorapa's censorship of quotes is often camouflaged: for example here he deletes a quote by Christopher Hitchens, doesn't say anything in the edit summary, and at the same time adds other material so no one notices the removal. This is exactly what JonMilkins is doing in his edits [34] [35] (there are more examples in the short edit history)

The user is also deleting references (of authors and views he doesn't like), another typical behaviour deletes Bostom from the references

Also the rearranging of quotes (while at the same time deleting some content, see the comment about camouflaging) and the adding of NPOV or cleanup tags is typical [36]

  • MonstrumVenandiXXXII:

Here [37] [38] another user noted how Xsaorapa's censorship of quotes is often camouflaged: for example here he deletes a quote by Christopher Hitchens, doesn't say anything in the edit summary, and at the same time adds other material so no one notices the removal. This is exactly what MonstrumVenandiXXXII is doing in his edits [39] (there are more examples in the short edit history)

The user is also deleting references (of authors and views he doesn't like), another typical behaviour.

Also see the edit histories of these articles, MonstrumVenandiXXXII has returned to the same articles and topics typical of his previous socks.

Also the rearranging of quotes (while at the same time deleting some content, see the comment about camouflaging) and the adding of NPOV or cleanup tags is typical [40] [41]
