Suspected sockpuppets


These accounts were created five days apart; the master was created first, but the sock edited first. Both are SPA on Eshal Fayyaz (which The Educationist Owl created, and most notably, Owl's sandbox compared with Ahmed's userpage, show the same personal information. It is extraordinarily unlikely that there are two "Pakistani university lecturers" with the same three degrees working on the same article who created their accounts at almost the same time. They're also playing a little bit of good hand, bad hand - Educationist Owl claims suddenly to be a photographer able to get personal backstage photos of the article subject while Ahmed recently claimed to have no relation to the subject. They're clearly the same person, and there's no reason not to think there may be more socks out there. MSJapan (talk) 20:50, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Foxdeltahawk22

Ok so this is a complicated one. First note that Awais Azad is a confirmed sockpuppeteer. This user (foxdeltahawk22) just created DECODED Sexes. A matching page (DeCODED Sexes) was recently deleted. This matching page was created by Rtre4t654. This user (Rtre...) is a confirmed sockpuppet of Awais Azad. Thus it follows that Foxdelta is also a sockpuppet.

Tryeuwer1122

This one is also complicated. An image that was uploaded to commons by one of the many sockpuppets of Awais (commons:File:Vape Shoreditch.jpg) appears in an article Vape Shoreditch. This article has a sole editor: Tryeuwer1122. I'm fairly confident this is another sockpuppet.
Note that if either of these explanations is not clear, please {{ping}} me and I will try to explain it better. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:38, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Wasn't going to file since this is probably stale to the master, but then more socking showed up. Spray787 re-created Richard Mason (singer) (now at AfD), and Richard Mason(musician) now redirected to the former. Today Erree334 shows up and with his first edit removes the AfD template from the article. CrowCaw 17:01, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. I have no concern with any of accounts mentioned above or below, I use a global VPN while making edits so maybe that caused conflict of these accounts with mine. Please look into this. And for Ray McCort page I didn't created it, I just moved the draft to my sandbox to re-create it and then wanted to submit it from there. The discussion is going on the Draft: Ray McCort. 1900toni (talk) 14:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets


!Vote stacking at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mindstir Media.
JessikaRita has a short history of throw away keep comments at afd [3] [4] and has done little else.
Melanie98765 is a new account that was created just to !vote in the above afd.
Riferbare. After some busy work typical of socks to increase their edit count this account has done very little other than !vote at afds. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:33, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: I see the two patterns and likely a third pattern, however [both/all] of these patterns are also evident in previously CU-confirmed OfficialPankajPatidar socks, and some of the accounts show more than one of the patterns. Strongly indicates a promo farm; at least one of the accounts disclosed to paid editing. Overall my opinion is that it's one user behind all of the accounts. However, JessikaRita and Melanie98765 are neither technical matches nor behavioural matches for any of the patterns. While I proceed with tagging, an admin clerk should merge this with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/OfficialPankajPatidar. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:16, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

19 November 2016

Suspected sockpuppets

Banty Banty 123 is an undeclared shill like many of the socks used here. A bit of overlap ties this account to this farm.

Specific to this sock farm

Traedakidd is a creation of this sock farm [5]. Banty Banty 123 edited this page [6] and !voted to keep it at afd [7]. (And the IP removed the prod [8] and I believe a speedy from another now deleted page connected to this farm).
ChapoBanz was a creation of this sock farm User:Iamcb111/sandbox. Banty Banty 123 has created a new draft Draft:Chapo Banz.

General paid promotion

Hexaview Technologies was deleted 25 October 2016. Banty Banty 123 has created a new draft Draft:Hexaview Technologies.
Draft:Softjourn was rejected as reading more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia.

Given the size and continuing socking a checkuser may be best to find others. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:29, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 In progress. Just as before, the check produces messy results. I believe I've finished the check, but organizing it into some coherent form will take a bit of time, and at the moment I have a headache. Hopefully later today.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:14, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

28 November 2016

Suspected sockpuppets

New editor 2017 re-created Hexaview Technologies in a single paste from Banty Banty 123's Draft:Hexaview Technologies, very soon after new account creation: [9]. Wikishovel (talk) 21:20, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New baba created a burst of draft articles a few months ago, along with Ryan Hampton (political advocate), then went quiet. Last week and yesterday New editor 2017 uploaded and added new photos to the Ryan Hampton article: [10], which he says were emailed to him by the subject: [11], [12], etc. Also voted "keep" on AFD for Zigma8, an article created by a paid editor (now blocked): [13].

NovaGrace is a WP:SPA whose sole edits have been on Draft:Roderick Robertson, one of the drafts created by New baba, cleaning up and adding references, reverting a "submission declined" edit by another editor [14], and reverting the Commons Delinker bot [15].

Ziggiy's only edit so far was to create Draft:Blue Collar Hustle in a single edit 20 days ago, then edited yesterday by new account New editor 2017: [16]. Wikishovel (talk) 16:17, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
