[edit] User talk:Ioannes Festusis etc.

This user claims to be an alternate account of Hephaestos (talk · contribs) (which is not an uncommon occurrance), but his upload log suggests otherwise, and his only non-image edit is what is shown on his talk page (sans the mfd tag). In addition, I think this user is likely the same user as Von_Van (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log), based on their upload logs.

BTW, after investigating further, I have discovered more such pages (their contribution logs do not match that of the real Hephaestos):

• User talk:TenDollars
• User talk:Sotseahpeh
• User talk:Mrbelvedereposter46
• User talk:Mrbelvedereposter47
• User talk:213.171.219.245 (which, BTW, is an open proxy)
• User talk:Sozferka
• User talk:Michael the Californian
• User talk:John Farder
• User talk:ASDamic
• User talk:Pgk is a sockpuppet of Mrbelvedereposter
• User talk:Hepheustos
• User talk:Nufydubshinki

As such, I'm adding these pages to the discussion as well. Scobell302 04:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Would a checkuser request be appropriate here? MER-C 09:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - they are all indef blocked vandals. You may also want to add User talk:Nufydubshinki and list the category Category:Alternate Wikipedia accounts of Hephaestos for deletion too as it is entirely populated by these accounts. Yomangani^talk 10:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

  I've added the talk page; however, the category is a redlink, so it can't be "deleted" at this time. Scobell302 10:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

  Yeah, sorry (brain wasn't in gear) - it will be empty when these pages are deleted anyway. Yomangani^talk 10:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - As per above. Badbilltucker 19:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, I find all these pages claiming to be Hephaestos to be useful: they help us identify user accounts that need to be permablocked. --Deathphoenix ʕ 13:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - (edit conflict) Did anybody (before me) tell Hephaestos about this? -- kenb215 talk 13:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • No, and I don't think it's necessary. I'm sure he's well aware that there are many accounts claiming to be him, and he's only semi-active now anyway. --Deathphoenix ʕ 15:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• I know it isn't necessary, but I thought it was considered courteous to inform a user when something about them was happening on the wiki. I, personally, would like to know. Anyway,

• Delete per above -- kenb215 talk 16:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, probably Johnny the Vandal or the like. --Mr. Lefty (talk) 17:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
