Welcome to Wikivoyage

Hello! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page.

If you need help, check out Project:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

If you are a Wikipedian, or have previously used Wikipedia, then you may notice some differences in the style of our articles. These include:

• "Village pump" → travellers' pub

• "be bold" → plunge forward

• "sandbox" → graffiti wall

• "stub notes" → Article status notes

• "External links" → We do not use a separate external links section, but incorporate primary links only into the text itself.

Thank you for contributions. - Tom Holland (Xltel) (talk)

@Courcelles: Thank you for replying to my message, and excuse me for the misunderstanding about the German wiki, but I hope there's no problem if I write the report here. I'm telling you all I know about this proxy+sock abuser:

• There's a proxy ("AS6939 HURRICANE - Hurricane Electric, Inc., US") providing different IP ranges: the main is 66.160.0.0/16, the others are 64.71.128.0/18, 72.52.64.0/18 and 74.82.0.0/18.
• In different wikis, some of these ranges and some of their subranges were blocked a few months ago, while a subrange of the main IP, 66.160.188.0/24, was globally blocked in February; on the bases of similar edits and CU checks, users Myeuurn and Baka Líte were blocked immediately after this IP range.
• The admin who blocked them globally didn't know that another checkuser had detected one more sock belonging to the same user, Fulgencio Kokomeci, as you can read here, that's why this sock wasn't blocked.
• After a long time, he reappeared last month, in the same period when also other IPs from that proxy reappeared.
• He made this edit just 2 minutes before an IP from the proxy range made this edit: this time there wasn't disruption, but it's clear it's the same person, this isn't a coincidence.
• And there's an overwhelming evidence this isn't a coinciedence: both edits are identical to 2 edits (this and this) made by a "long-term multiple sockpuppeteer, using numerous IP addresses and accounts", as wrote the admin who blocked the 193.204.194.0/24 IP range locally for "Persistent disruptive editing".
• I think this is should be enough to prove that Fulgencio Kokomeci is just another sock by the same user hiding behind the other 2 socks and countless IPs from those ranges, and this should also be worth enough a check over those 4 proxy ranges to verify whether there're other socks of his, created or editing using such IP ranges.
• I have already a little suspect about a recent account, MbretiBasha, since the long-term abuser I'm talking about was known for having also a sort of obsession with phonetic and linguistic issues, but this is just a little suspect and may be just a coincidence, however a check on those proxies could prove his involvement or not-involvement.

I hope I didn't write too much, and I hope this report was convincing enough. Let me know in case you need more information or have any questions, but I think it's far too clear these users are all just different identities used by the same person to "masquerade" :-) 54.196.7.36 09:33, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
