Suspected sockpuppets

User Callump90 is currently blocked for a number of dubious edits relating to Disney's supposed ownership of, amongst other things, the Bond films and the Red Dwarf television series. No-one else is posting or has posted such false information. User JackFM has now also started to peddle the same line of nonsense, again unsupported and again in the same poor quality of English.

I'm one of the blocking admins for Callump90. The others all quacked louder than the duck so I've now blocked them all on that basis and extended Callum's block to indefinite. It might be worth running checkuser on this though given that there's been a couple found.--5 albert square (talk) 17:17, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Following on from a previous investigation at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Callump90/Archive, with an editor claiming a Bond 3D as an "upcoming Disney franchise" and that James Bond is a real person, we have a new contender: 007Fan1 (talk · contribs) with three inappropriate edits along exactly the same lines:

Please see WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Callump90/Archive for previous incarnations. The current version MattSmithFan has again targetted a Bond page claiming it to be based in fact; see this edit here. Additionally, his claim of Disney acquiring a major studio is something he has done in the past. SchroCat (talk) 15:42, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Grandfather sockpuppeteer seems to be Callumpaul40 (talk · contribs); since the most recent SPI activity has been at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Callump90/Archive, however, I will report this here.

Editing behaviour similar to that of blocked sockpuppets RealJBond (talk · contribs), Medieval867 (talk · contribs) and DisneyTotalWar (talk · contribs): creating hoaxes (Tarzan (real character) - continuing fondness of term "real"; Wikipedia:Alan Partridge - asserted to be a "real" person working at the BBC); editing various Walt Disney and James Bond-related articles (with claims of "real"-ness); minor, unhelpful edits and nonsense talk page statements.

Whoever is operating this account has already abusively used several others, which leads me to wonder whether there are other sockpuppets still in active use. SuperMarioMan 22:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[4] – Same edit style as previously (referring to James Bond as a "real" person. His first edit to his talk page "Hello again" is suggestive of a repeat visitor. Further evidence can be seen on his user page, where he talks about Disney making various films, or being involved in projects - all of which are unsourced, unsubstantiated, or plain ridiculous (such as the "true life" story of World War Z). See also this libellous edit on what I suspect to be abother sock. - SchroCat (talk) 14:43, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCK: Reading the report of September I've recognized the style (now he refers to Sun Hill Police Station as a real police stat. of London, the "hello again" in his talk...). Anyway, also naming style is the same (with a digit in the end of the name) and the hoaxes related to TV series, TV companies, Disney and so on. To avoid to copy-paste the same text, this is the detailed report at WP:AIV. Anyway he is a self-confessed sp, signing him as MarvelFan1. --Dэя-Бøяg 03:39, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FiremanSamFan has signed theirself as MarvelFan1, an account previously identified as a sock of Callump90. Behaviour includes asserting that the fictional country of Tazbekistan is a real place[5][6][7] (in the third link he asserts that several other fictional entities, including James Bond – an apparent favourite of other Callump90 socks – are real). I also note that MarvelFan1's last edit mentions Tazbekistan as well. VeryCrocker (talk) 22:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User has something of an obsession with BBC idents, James Bond/Disney and making strange talk page posts that predict the future – rather like the presumed sockpuppeteer. I think that WP:DUCK is relevant here, though unlike in earlier cases, I'm not entirely certain. @JohnCD: what do you think? SuperMarioMan ( talk ) 15:15, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

At a first look, I'm not quite sure enough. This edit citing Callum Precious is very suspicious, but it's just possible this is someone else with similar interests who is aware of and cited that Youtube site. Other views welcome - I'll try to have a further look tomorrow. JohnCD (talk) 21:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, until I saw that comment a moment ago (they made it after I started this investigation), I was still just about willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, that addition, combined with everything else – the interest in the same topics (i.e. James Bond, BBC branding, Grand Theft Auto, recent showbiz news) plus the strange talkspace behaviour (see their BLP-infringing edits to their own talk page) – tips the scale for me, and I now find it difficult to arrive at any other conclusion. Blocked as a sockpuppet based on WP:DUCK. SuperMarioMan ( talk ) 01:19, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Additional information needed - @Freshh: In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:41, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The IP address seems to be static and has been causing disruption on-and-off for several weeks; I've blocked for one month. SomeAnimalsWereHarmedInTheMakingOfThisFilm, a new user who "helpfully" showed up to move the IP's hoax article into mainspace, has been blocked indefinitely.

A new editor working on an upcoming Bond film draft at User:DoctorWhoReturns12/sandbox, which includes a full paragraph about a YouTube fan video by dwho1995picturesUK, the "production company" written about by many previous Callump socks. Article pushes previous socks' theory about Disney buying MGM and the Bond franchise, again uses what seems to be Callum's own blog (containing speculative articles about Bond, Doctor Who and how the BBC should change its logo) as a source and includes a flatly false claim about Daniel Craig being signed up to appear in the film.

 Clerk note: Account blocked and tagged. Could an admin please merge Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Callumpaul40 here based on this CU result? TDL (talk) 05:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Danlaycock: I don't interpret the results at the other case to indicate that Callump40 and 90 are related. You changed the tag of 40 on your own. I admit that the back and forth between the CUs is a bit confusing. Perhaps you should ping one or more of them to see if they can shed some light on their findings.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: Reaper Eternal tagged User:Callump90 as a confirmed sock of User:Callumpaul40 in the diff I linked above. I just changed it to a master tag as Callump90 is the older of the two accounts. Any recollection of this Reaper Eternal? TDL (talk) 01:37, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm closing the without merging. DoRD wrote here that Callump90 is unrelated, but Reaper Eternal then tagged Callump90 as a confirmed sock of Callumpaul40 (although Callump90 is older). I don't want to merge cases until this mess is resolved. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:16, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, here's a blast from the past - someone writing about "dwho1995 entertainment," owned by "Callum Precious," our good friend Callump. All known socks are very stale, but requesting CU for a sleeper check. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:13, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm dead certain from behavioral evidence that this is Callump90, by the way - significant overlap in interest in dwho1995 Entertainment and Callum Precious, plus the templates they created link to pages created by past Callump socks, e.g. Dwho1995_Pictures and Callum Precious.

The registered account's user page makes it pretty clear they're someone's sockpuppet. Besides a similar broad interest in film and TV, they have also unnecessarily changed links to read "coronavirus" instead of "COVID-19", just like the last sockpuppet.

The IP address's wild predictions and frantic tone in edit summaries are typical of the sockmaster. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 09:35, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The user has two images on their user page, one of which purports to be a message from "Callum Precious", affirming a dislike of "short words" (such as COVID-19, aligning with recent sockpuppet behaviour). Their sandbox page is explicitly an attack page, referencing an individual (myself) and a term a confirmed sockpuppet bought up. Most contributions by this user have been made to articles about television channels and idents, and media production companies, much like past sockpuppets. -- EpicPrime (leave a message | edits) 00:33, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
