23 May 2022

– An SPI clerk has requested administrator assistance for action regarding the case below. The requested action is below.

Suspected sockpuppets

Nearly identical recreations of Tad Damron but similar hoax matter on otherwikis, specifically simple:Kent Bays which while not relevant here definitely shows their inclination to create dubious hoax articles with fake sourcing, not to mention introducing death hoaxes here.

They've also got an interest in Danny Roark like the master, per this own work upload. PRAXIDICAE💕 21:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

  • Pretty confident that JorieLeisure is a sock based on the shared interests in the same dubious subjects. I'm also suspicious of AndyWalkerton, whose account was apparently created for the purpose of spreading the same death hoax cross-wiki: [1][2][3][4]. CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - to compare these two accounts (I'm aware that the master is likely stale). Thanks, Spicy (talk) 17:38, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  In progress - -- RoySmith (talk) 22:17, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry RoySmith, I was taking a quick look and blocked the accounts, but I'd still welcome your analysis. These two accounts are confirmed to each other. In searching for the sockmaster, I came across Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Southernyoungin. The technicals are weak but not unrelated, and the more I look at it, the more I become convinced. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:29, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yup, I agree that those two are confirmed. What I've been looking at is if this is related to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GermanKity. There's overlap in the deleted history of Tad Damron, which could possibly be GHBH, or could be competing UPEs trying to get each other's work deleted. At this point, I'm leaning towards the latter, so I'll just note it here and not take any action on that. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I'll stick with my original comment that this looks very much like Southernyoungin. The fake deaths, the music, the location, the interest in trolling, it all fits. Maybe GermanKity was just in the right place at the wrong time. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:21, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk assistance requested: - I'm setting this to clerk status so that someone can decide whether or not to move this case to Southernyoungin. I had a look myself but it's hard for me to evaluate because most of Southernyoungin & co.'s articles have been deleted. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 18:45, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
