BluesCluesFan2021, whose name is similar in format to NickelodeonFan2021, is making similar unsourced and unexplained edits on Tinga Tinga Tales as those made by NickelodeonFan2021. BluesCluesFan2021 started editing only 3 days after NickelodeonFan2021 was indef blocked. The ducks are quacking. AussieLegend (✉) 07:23, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCK Same name format as sockmaster and previously reported sock, editing the same articles, most notably Tinga Tinga Tales and RTÉjr. DuggeeFan2021 was created a few days after the last sock was banned, but couldn't edit Tinga Tinga Tales until page protection expired. The edits are similar, with common changes such as changing |end date= but the edits are not as extensive. Nevertheless, this is block evasion. AussieLegend (✉) 08:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! - Once again this is the same name format as all the other accounts and as usual this one has edited Tinga Tinga Tales. AussieLegend (✉) 18:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now that Twirlywoos has been blocked, EighteenFan2021 has now been created. Not a very smart puppetmaster I must say. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Materialscientist blocked Numberblocks2021 for WP:DE but when I looked at Boj (TV series) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) it became clear there were other accounts.

  • Cbeebies 2025 account was blocked by Materialscientist as well.
  • NickJr2021 was blocked by PhilKnight
  • Danny Phantom 2028 was blocked by Bsadowski1 as a sockpuppet of JoeyPknowsalotbaoutthat and globally locked.

Another page with overlap is Numberjacks (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The naming pattern and targeting of that article is WP:DUCK to me. The behavior, though, is making me question if this is actually a different account: NickelodeonFan2021 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). NickelodeonFan2021's sockpuppets have also edited extensively on that article and follow a similar naming pattern (e.g., TwirlywoosFan2021 and NickJr_Fanon2021). Moreover, NickelodeonFan2021 tends to target dates, which a number of these new accounts have done as well. ([1] compared to [2], [3], [4])

My CU request is either:

  • confirm these accounts to the identified sockpuppet (Danny Phantom 2028) or
  • confirm these accounts to NickelodeonFan2021

Considering the fact that some of these accounts (such as 'Numberblocks2021' and 'Cbeebies 2025') have added the same bogus season 4 information onto Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, could Joaqjoaq be related to this as well? And I know checkuser can't connect IPs, but that one would then possibly connect 2601:201:4201:A4B0:0:0:0:0/64 as well?... Magitroopa (talk) 19:16, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Technically speaking, they are  Possible to NickelodeonFan2021, in the sense that they geolocate to the same city, but the country they're in isn't known for reliable geolocations. Based on behaviour and usernames however, I'd say that it's almost certain that these are all the same user, and that the cases should be merged. I'll apply some blocks and tags for now.

Similarly targeted articles, including Uki (TV series) (and probably other articles too).

Username also follows same format of a show/network followed by a year (Ex: All the 'NumberblocksXXXX' accounts from the show Numberblocks, 'AngryBirdsStellaXXXX' (in this case, 'AngryBirdsStella2022') from the show Angry Birds Stella. Magitroopa (talk) 16:33, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, this and this versus this seems to indicate sockpuppetry here- this new account doing the same image changes on Rabbids as two previous socks of JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat. Seems likely WP:DUCK with this. Magitroopa (talk) 18:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • It seems quite likely based on the diffs presented, the overlap, and [5] vs. [6] at Numberjacks. But since we'd be doing a sleeper check anyways, let's see what CU has to say before making a final determination here. CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 04:30, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • They're working out of some different ranges from before, but the geolocation and useragents are identical; coupled with the username and the behaviour, I have no doubts that it's the same person. I didn't see any other accounts on the ranges I checked. I note that the last round of socks weren't tagged; I will leave this one as well. Girth Summit (blether) 13:25, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The LittleCharleybear accounts are pretty obvious. As for the rest, I first noticed this set of edits by PapyrusSansUndyneFan on Furby Boom (creating an article where a redirect had been), and then this edit by HoopsAndYoyoFans2022 restoring the article after it had been restored as a redirect. A look into those accounts' edit histories began to show a series of similar edits related to children's programming vandalism. Hoops and Yoyo's editing history brought me to Little Charley Bear (and the similarity to many of the socks listed here) and that page history brought me to Numberblocks2021 and thence to this SPI. Many of these socks are already blocked, but it's definitely worth looking into sleepers given the history of this sock farm.

I'm not super familiar with this entire case, but trying to go after what RoySmith said- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat/Archive#28 April 2021 seems to be the earliest with this type of username naming, with 'NickelodeonFan2021' originally being at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NickelodeonFan2021.

Going through the history of Numberjacks, 'NickJr Fanon2021' seems to actually be a further back account than NickelodeonFan2021. However, I'm wondering where the suspicion of this being JoeyP came from? As I said before, I'm not super familiar with this case (especially the farther back years), but prior to NickJr Fanon2021 (January-February 2021), are there JoeyP socks that were editing similar articles or doing similar style edits? Going through the history of Alphablocks as well, I'm not seeing any immediately visible JoeyP socks.

Something also looks weird at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat/Archive#05 November 2021- Danny Phantom 2028 was blocked as being a JoeyP sock, but with only 2 edits, was this checked to be JoeyP or just assumed? Perhaps Bsadowski1 (original blocking admin of Danny Phantom 2028) can give an explanation to this?

Of course, if I'm getting anything wrong here, please disregard this. However, from what I'm able to observe, that's what I'm a bit confused about... Magitroopa (talk) 03:38, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At usual targets including Hey Duggee, Tinga Tinga Tales, Little Charley Bear, Hoops & Yoyo, etc. May possibly be Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dimpsboyno3 or Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat, but based off of the username ("Fan" followed by 2-4 numbers), this seems like the most likely.

Similarly editing articles relating to children's cartoons, username is formatted similarly, both Winniethepooh2022 and TheNumtums2023 have edited Draft:Abadas, and both have left empty edit requests on Talk:Tinga Tinga Tales: TheNumtums2023's edit, Winniethepooh2022's edit.

Username is similar to past socks: relating to a show with a year as well.

Editing on many usual targets including Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, Little Charley Bear, Tinga Tinga Tales, and many others. They've also edited Draft:Abadas which has mostly been edited by a currently-blocked IP range (might be them?...) and a past sock. Seems very WP:DUCKy.

I'd share diffs as well, but on mobile right now so it's a bit hard for that right now. Magitroopa (talk) 16:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the same usually-targeted articles including Draft:Abadas, Hey Duggee, Go Jetters, Tree Fu Tom, and more. Also another empty edit request at Talk:Tinga Tinga Tales: [8] and [9]. Similar edit request at Talk:Raa Raa the Noisy Lion as well: [10] and [11]. Magitroopa (talk) 14:53, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I put this at 'NickJr Fanon2021' due to the above information. Upon further investigation, this may be Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Agustin Sepulveda Venegas 2004 Fan due to all the 'stylised as' edits they've done, similar to this April 2022 edit, done by a blocked IP range that definitely appears to be Agustin. So I'm not 100% sure who, but HTF Disco Bear still looks like a sock of someone to me. Magitroopa (talk) 15:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will however say that the edit history of Draft:Abadas does still make me believe this to be NickJr Fanon2021. Magitroopa (talk) 15:12, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, and now given the edit history of Sky Kids (TV channel), it further seems to be NickJr Fanon2021. Compare [12] vs. [13] vs. [14]. Magitroopa (talk) 15:20, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's defo something wrong with this one, I'm just not quite sure what... Their edit history is clearly not that of a noob. Also, here they admit to being Ikeralfredi, who hasn't (yet) edited on en.wiki but is blocked on es.wiki.

Anyway, they've submitted Draft:Meet The Numberblocks, which reminded me of some of NickJr Fanon2021's earlier work. Also, NickJr Fanon2021 has many previous socks with 'Numberblocks' in their username. Yes, I realise that's a bit tenuous, but it's the best I've got! :)

There are also some other accounts with interest in this Numberblocks topic, which look a bit suspect to me, eg. 908Partner and The Sensitive One, but I can't find any smoking guns.

Can I have CU to scan for others, please? DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:01, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only just realised that Ikeriki is also blocked on es.wiki (not that it strictly matters, but still). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm declining to check Ikeriti as there is no evidence of socking on en-wiki and they're behaviorally distinct from the NickJr Fanon2021 sock group. There is no solid evidence presented that they could be linked to another sock group other than an interest in a popular app for young children. If this changes the case can be revisited under a new name.-- Ponyobons mots 19:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
