Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Orderinchaos

Something very odd is going on here. A bunch of users with very similar viewpoints have been editing at a range of Australian articles. I'm actually prepared to extend good faith to Watchover (i.e. I think the result could be that he is OK but the others are mutual socks of an unknown sockmaster).

KAPITALIST88 (who should have been usernameblocked anyway - 88 is a Nazi reference) was blocked this morning over an image they had uploaded with false copyright to Tony Abbott (Australian opposition/Liberal Party leader). Within 17 minutes of KAPITALIST88 discovering he was blocked, Cantwejustbefriends, an account with only 3 previous edits (one of which was a major edit to Joe Hockey, Abbott's leadership challenger), roared into life. The history at List of Prime Ministers of Australia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) over the past couple of hours, together with Cantwejustbefriends's user and talk pages which talk about "factionalism" and "pack mentality" in their first and second diffs, suggest to me that there is sockpuppetry going on. The issue over which one is backing up the other is a somewhat unrelated pet issue of Watchover's in adding tables to list articles (see e.g. [1] from October).

Kristina Keneally (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (from earlier in December) is also of interest.

Watchover's and Kapitalist's edits are almost mutually exclusive to a scary degree - one edits for a few days, then stops, and the other one edits in the interval. Orderinchaos 05:56, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
