Suspected sockpuppets


About 6-8 weeks ago I opened Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Friends with Benefits (web series) as a multi-article afd to cover three articles whose notability was questionable at best. One of those articles was Ron Dias (actor), the alleged head man for the web series. Of particular note is that after Ronandaussie's article was deleted DegreassiFandom recreated the article ([1]) at a level almost consistent with the last version to have existed before its deletion ([2]). Additionally, GedrassiFandom blanked Ronanduassi's talk page ([3]), an action usually understood to be within the exclusive domain of the account holder. This occurred after the afd, and after Ron had been warned not to self-promote on wikipedia since his account name was almost identical to the article he had created for the web director (see previous diff). A further look at the history of the accounts as well as their contributions and deleted contributions also seems to suggest that these accounts are working together to edit the articles Emmanuel Kabongo, Teenagers (web series), and Raymond Ablack (which incidentally was also at afd, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raymond Ablack). I want to note here too that I am uncertain as to whether or not webseries accounts are related to degrassi accounts, I laid a wide dragnet here and caught a bunch of accounts that I thought looked suspicious, so I apologize in advance if a legit account got caught in the dragnet.

  • This appears to be an oddly general use of this action. I have made hundreds of edited to hundreds of articles. There is no reasonable correlation between my account and those you listed, some of which do not even appear have a page yet... Just to clarify, TomStar81, Degrassi is a television show (see Degrassi) whose cast feature in the web series you appear to mention (see: Teenagers). Just because I am a fan of the TV series, doesn't mean I am associated with every person who has 'Degrassi' in their Wiki name... It is a long-running Canadian series that has millions of viewers...
