Suspected sockpuppets

edit

The contributions between Oct 8 on this user and the contributions of the alleged sock master since Oct 7. The IP user made the same contributions shortly after a block. Requesting a CheckUser to check for sleepers due to obvious sock puppetry and exhibiting continued abuse through multiple accounts. -- Dane2007 talk 05:29, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The only contribution this account has made after a block matches the comment made on the sockpuppeteers talk page. This user has a CheckUser confirmed history of using socks, which they are doing for block evasion and POV pushing. -- Dane2007 talk 16:08, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This edit and the users editing history strongly matches the alleged sockmasters editing history and behavior. -- Dane2007 talk 14:25, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This page looks very similar to the sock puppetry by Xparta on this page. It appears the user tried to make a different page due to the fact there is protection on the original page. -- Dane2007 talk 23:13, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This diff and this diff show the socks first edits (under "Xparta") while this diff and this diff shows the new socks edits. -- Dane2007 talk 15:54, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Added IP who made the same contribution as the sock. -- Dane2007 talk 16:06, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Added another IP who made the same contribution as the sock. -- Dane2007 talk 16:16, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@QEDK: There were sleepers in the initial report. Additionally, this case was originally filed under TheErectile's SPI until one of their older sleeper accounts emerged (Xparta). I believe CU may be needed as the sock stopped editing for a month while the article was protected - additional accounts may have been made in that time. -- Dane2007 talk 21:14, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dane2007: That wasn't a sleeper, but an uncaught sock. Nearly all of his socks are made, and begin editing after that. --QEDK (T ☕ C) 09:01, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@QEDK: TheImageCollector may have got missed out here as they were blocked for edit warring - do they still need blocking? -- samtar talk or stalk 13:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This edit is the same as this edit. Sock has made a new article to get around the protection. -- Dane2007 talk 12:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This IP and the editing style matches the prior edits made by Xparta on articles related to the Kobo family. This is the same IP range as the prior socks. Not requesting checkuser due to IP address - this is strictly behavioral. -- Dane talk 19:39, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a sock puppet of Xparta based on editing style and focus. User previously communicated among multiple channels and was informed not to edit their own articles due to COI.

Suspicious Edits ("Edit style") appears to be removing potentially negative information about O.D. Kobo and promoting his related ventures. These same behaviors were seen with the prior socks. Requesting CheckUser to look for potential sleepers. -- Dane talk 23:47, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Check declined by a checkuser -   Stale -- Amanda (she/her) 15:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Dane:   Additional information needed. In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 13:08, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
