This is the "Beatles copyright infringer" case, a up-till-recently IP-hopper who has...well, you can see the saga here, as well as here here and here. Nutshell: serial and unrepentant adder of blatant-copyvio links who adds WP:IDHT, WP:COMPETENCE and WP:NLT to the mix. Note that the IPs above are just a sampling of the IPs this person has used. He/she/they have recently started using named accounts, both of these quacked in a deafening fashion and have been blocked, but based on this user's past more socks are highly likely, so while I know CU is mum's the word regarding IPs, I'm requesting a CU check based on the named accounts for new socks and sleepers. - The Bushranger One ping only 10:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC) The Bushranger One ping only 10:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

As I said earlier, I've been a busy bee and done a couple of range blocks, but it's not a complete solution; however an edit filter is now in place and activated: Special:AbuseFilter/443. WilliamH (talk) 12:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

This is the "Beatles vandal/copyvio" guy. Different url this time, here, but same gist, and same broken Engrish complaints, this time at Jimbo's talk page. Tarc (talk) 19:45, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

He's baaaaack...and adding the copyvio Beatles links once more. I know that CU is not used on IPs normally, but the abuse here is approaching the Godzilla Threshold for that, and even if not, if the previous named accounts haven't gone stale yet a check against them might be wise, I think - this chap isn't giving up.

Community site ban has been imposed...and still the beat goes on with copyvio links being added with edit summaries accusing those removing them of "illegal actions" and "long pattern vandalism". The Bushranger One ping only 01:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

I've also tagged three users that are in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Crazy1980 (including one new named user account), but have not added those three here. Should I also add them to this page, or just continue to use the existing category? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:00, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Thanks for making effectively a reference sheet for the IPs he uses, but there's really nothing to do here. We know who he is and what he does, but as I have been saying (to sadly little avail), he is a self-admitted troll, and patrolling administrators should simply rollback and block on sight. WilliamH (talk) 13:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
WP:RBI is in place. :) Just compiling them here for the record, although I suppose that might be redundant to Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Crazy1980. Should I just tag them for there in the future? - The Bushranger One ping only 18:31, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Don't tag per WP:DENY. Listing recent IPs here could be helpful in terms of forming range blocks, but those have never been realistic, so I wouldn't bother doing that either. Revert, block, ignore is definitely the best idea. WilliamH (talk) 20:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Same barely coherent Russian user with an obsession with The Beatles, including the "World Beatles Day under UNESCO, which is nearly identical to this edit. --MuZemike 03:40, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
