Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]


The master edits mostly storm articles. However, on January 10, they created Ishowspeed. The sock only recently created an account, and their first edits were to create an article about the same YouTuber at User:Gameforall/sandbox, which they later transformed into Draft:IShowSpeed. The pages created by the two accounts are very similar. Both accounts sometimes use the visual editor and sometimes do not. Because the sock has never edited any storm articles, I am requesting a CU as perhaps this is a rather startling coincidence. (Many edits by the sock have been suppressed. I don't know if that has any relevance to the possible socking.) Bbb23 (talk) 14:04, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This user, Hurricaneinformation, was already discussed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/**sammy** Dawson. and was CU identified by Drmies as a member of that sock drawer. I don't know which is the oldest or who is the sockmaster, but it seems like these two SPIs should be merged. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Melanie, I don't see where Drmies identified the relationship between the accounts he CU-blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:59, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm reporting under this user, blocked by a CU, since I am unsure who the original sockmaster is. Both the old account and a new one have shown a pattern of editing tropical cyclone articles, particularly Tropical Storm Erika, with vandalism including replacing words with ill-fitting synonyms. Examples for the original: 1, 2, 3. And the new account's edits: 4, 5, 6, 7. TornadoLGS (talk) 00:23, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, Drmies independently did a CU check on another account and also found Hurricaneinfomation., Marney12341 and Daws1997 to be connected, as well as the suspected sock listed above. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:32, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: Does that mean the two SPIs should be merged? The **sammy** Dawson. account is older. TornadoLGS (talk) 16:54, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TornadoLGS: It means that a checkuser needs to sort this out.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Same as before: this sock is replacing words at Tropical Storm Erika with ill-fitting synonyms. [1] TornadoLGS (talk) 21:34, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user shows a similar pattern of disruption to previous socks and the original account by replacing random words in hurricane articles with ill-fitting synonyms. Examples for the current account: [2], [3]. Compare [4], [5], [6], [7] Like previous accounts, this one is also changing images in hurricane infoboxes. [8], [9], [10]. Compare [11], [12], [13]. Both this and previous socks have shown an interest in the page IShowSpeed. See [14]. There may also be sleeper accounts. TornadoLGS (talk) 00:23, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spicy:. Oops, I messed that one up. I was juggling a lot of pages when I did this report. TornadoLGS (talk) 17:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not particularly convinced, since they're focused on different storms. This user has changed one image in a hurricane article [16], which is a pattern for past socks, but other vandalism patterns I've recognized from the sockmaster and previous socks aren't there. Still, I think it's best to wait on a CU to confirm it, especially since there may be sleeper accounts. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:59, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To copy an AIV report of mine: "Likely sockpuppet of **sammy** Dawson., similar creations of non-notable storm articles (w1, o1, o2), similar interest in youtubers, (w1, o1), similar closely/poorly paraphrased writing (w1, w2, w3 (now deleted), o1, o2)." Hopefully this is helpful information. Akbermamps 02:14, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
