Willkommen / Welcome / Bienvenue / Bienvenido / Benvenuto!

Apparently you don't understand German, or understand it at a basic level. This is a Welcome message to introduce you to the German Wikipedia, with the most important places and departments you may want to consult.

• The embassy is perhaps the first place to go. There you can ask questions and get in touch with people who can translate your requests.
• The German equivalent of the “Village pump” is Questions about Wikipedia which can be used to ask questions and discuss matters of all kinds about Wikipedia. Feel free to ask questions in your preferred language, but questions in English will probably get the quickest responses as opposed to those asked in less common languages.
• Common requests: Request to usurp existing user accounts • Request a Bot flag.
• You are also welcome to participate in the multilingual Adopt-a-user program.
• For your user page: You might want to create your user page and put some babel boxes on it, so everyone knows what languages you speak. For example: “{{Babel|en|de-0}}” if you are a native English speaker, but speak no German at all.

How to help? One thing you could do is to improve this template (translate, fix errors, etc.), to help more contributors who do not speak German.

Once again, welcome! -- Katarighe 15:33, 17. Feb. 2012 (CET)

Warum?

Was soll denn das? Warum haben sie meine Tabellen fuer die Oscarverleihungen 1767 - 1974 geloescht? Ich meine es war doch alles in Ordnung mit ihnen gewesen oder etwa nicht? Fallacies4 17:42, 13. Okt. 2013 (CET)

Hi Courcelles, I'm writing you here because I've seen this is the main wiki where you edit and because here you're an autoreview and editor. I think I've found a few proxies used recently by a single user who hides behind them to make similar unconstructive edits in different pages, and a few socks used to do the same kind of edits created recently. If I write here the suspicious proxies IP ranges, will you be able to block them (as they're forbidden on Wikipedia) and do the same with the socks created over such ranges (as they weren't created for reasons according to community standards)? Let me know, please, I'd like to be helpful to the project by reporting vandals in bad faith who use proxies and socks such as this one! 54.155.240.51 09:21, 1. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

Heh, I speak basically no German, so this being here is a bit ironic. Can you post them on my enwp talk page, and I'll take a look? Courcelles (Diskussion) 23:06, 1. Jul. 2018 (CEST)

@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" :-) 54.155.131.243 10:00, 2.
