Nikolas.Sudarpo

Suspected sockpuppets

On the User Page of the currently blocked Nikolas.Sudarpo the user himself claims that this account belongs to him as well. Also this account has been created during a previous block of Nikolas.Sudarpo. Behaviour of both accounts is also very similar: constantly not using edit summary and not providing sources for changes made despite several warnings on talk page.

 Completed Not much for suspicion here, the sockmaster openly admitted they were evading the block. Sock indef'd and re-blocked master for another month. Closing. — MusikAnimal talk 05:44, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:GJZHC posting to @MusikAnimal: regarding User:GJZHB being a sock of User:Nikolas.Sudarpo. [1] Also, focus of socks & master on similar articles. JoeSperrazza (talk) 13:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see that GJZHB has already been checkuser blocked as a sock. JoeSperrazza (talk) 13:17, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
GJZHC also blocked. Thank you! JoeSperrazza (talk) 13:43, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

User:ZJOEY's has been making worrying edits as of late. Here they attempt to impersonate User:Jetstreamer, which they have done on more than one occasion. Also they have been editing User:Nikolas.Sudarpo's talk page a lot recently, changing others' comments. This edit made me suspicious. I'm not sure how User:CPAT is related but ZJOEY has been messing with their talk as well, giving improper warnings for non-existent edits. Sro23 (talk) 13:23, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding new user ArdajaniB, whose sole contribution so far has been to monkey with User:CPAT's talk page. I really don't know what to make of all the IP's who have been making similar sorts of edits to User:CPAT and User:Nikolas.Sudarpo's talk pages, this situation is very bizarre.

[2] [3] VJOEY is clearly the same as previous sock, User:ZJOEY. Sro23 (talk) 19:53, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding CPAT. They started VJOEY's talk page despite having never interacted with the user before and they have never created user talk pages in the past. Also they have a similar writing style, compare CPAT's "discuss me" with ZJOEY's "discuss me". In addition, IP 202.137.26.35 was added because they have been editing the user pages of sockpuppets (see here for example). Sro23 (talk) 20:00, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CZXCA is behaving in the same way past sock User:ZJOEY behaved. There's the templating of inappropriate warnings to user talk pages [4], [5], [6], in addition to the persistent addition of unsourced content these socks are known for. Here are also some more recent socks that have already been blocked: User:HkCaGu 2016 and User:HkCaGu 2013. Sro23 (talk) 03:14, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added Joseph.Raymond. Restored sock edit and also reverted a recent edit of mine for no reason. Sro23 (talk) 02:43, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Now adding MBWAX. Restored what I believe to be ipsock edits by ip 114.124.35.137 (see their editing history). Sro23 (talk) 02:47, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Added Ron.Alberto. New account who's first edit was to report one of their socks. Sro23 (talk) 14:12, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Similar edits to similar articles, mainly airport/airline related. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]. Some of the accounts here are already blocked, I simply added them for recording purposes. I'm not 100% sure where the hostility for User:Yamla is coming from, but think it's possibly related to this:[13] Sro23 (talk) 02:36, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's weird. I'm not aware of any significant interaction between me and this user apart from the listed unblock decline, above. It's quite likely I've declined a few other unblock requests but I don't generally edit or monitor the same sorts of articles this user frequents. Obviously, none of those are my accounts and a checkuser is very welcome to compare me against them. If you wish to do so, I'm:

 Clerk endorsed - all of these accounts are clearly the same user with a vendetta against poor Yamla, but let's see how far their creativity goes. I suggest not tagging these accounts, per WP:DENY. And I'd say it's not necessary to check Yamla. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:55, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed a new impersonating account is created on an almost daily basis, and I think these are Nikolas.Sudarpo because they are all making the same unexplained small changes, especially to dates and numbers: [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]. Also, this time I ask we please do not tag per WP:DENY. Sro23 (talk) 00:27, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Very suspicious editing for a newly registered editor: [19] [20] [21] [22]. Nikolas.Sudarpo has operated good hand/bad hand accounts in the past, such as with User:Haga Akiko, who would report their sock accounts to WP:UAA, and I believe the same thing is happening again: [23] [24] [25] Other than that user has an interest in airports/airlines.

I don't believe SGK=Nikolas.Sudarpo. I think that some time ago, there was a user named Supreme Genghis Khan who made very many sockpuppets. This inspired a lot of imitators, and Nikolas.Sudarpo is one of them. Simply an imitator. I'm not going to say why per WP:BEANS, but I believe that all/most of the more recent SGK socks are actually imitators, and I don't think the "real" SGK has been very active as of late. Same thing with Royer2356. I'm not exactly sure why he would decide imitate that sockmaster as well, but I would report a lot of Royer2356 username socks to WP:UAA in the past, so that could be one explanation of where he got the idea from. But that's just my opinion. I suppose the only thing that really matters is socks get blocked, regardless of the true identity of their owners. Sro23 (talk) 17:37, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Here's the thing. Kasia Lukaszczuk is  Confirmed to other Sudarpo socks but is also  Confirmed to the most recent socks from SGK and Royer2356.
  • I'm not sure we're not dealing with one sockmaster for this whole group of SPIs and LTAs, or at least a couple of them. I've blocked this latest account without tagging and we need some serious behavioral analysis here. Katietalk 14:25, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Relisted - Alright. So I guess we can safely say that Nikolas.Sudarpo = SGK = Royer2356. Could we (pretty please?) check Kasia Lukaszczuk against John Daker socks, such as The Mixer Board? It would also be good to get a second opinion on this one... GABgab 16:58, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Sro23: I understand where you're coming from, and I couldn't make the connection the first two or three times I looked at these reports either. But the problem is that all these accounts are in the same range with the same user agents and the same devices. It's way too big a coincidence. The question is who is the master and who isn't. Katietalk 22:30, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm willing to rule out Royer2356 now based on geolocation– either SGK or Sudarpo are creating copycats, so this is one big mess. DoRD is looking as well. Katietalk 22:40, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately, I don't have anything to add that will help to unravel this mess at this time. I agree, though, that there are a lot of copycat accounts being created. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:39, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think we can close this until someone is willing to make a huge behavioral analysis. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:12, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But I am not a sock of this user. RF (talk) 04:53, 29 November 2016 (UTC) I am new to Wikipedia and I'm a real user who would only report and use them not for purpose used. RF (talk) 04:56, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've not used an account like Nikolas.Sudarpo does actually. RF (talk) 04:59, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sro23 Note: Even if I am confirmed, this account is not belong to him as we work in same community but another user use it for bad purposes. RF (talk) 05:18, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've also request a help and please remove me from this SPI because I request that I'm a promise not a sock. RF (talk) 05:35, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's actually no way to remove someone from an SPI. Since an editor has expressed a concern that you may be a sock, we (or, more specifically, SPI Clerks and admins) have to follow through on the request. Also, you're not likely to get that UTRS account you requested. How did you even know about that, anyway? Most new editors, especially editors who only have one day of experience (like you), don't know about the advanced stuff like that. — Gestrid (talk) 06:14, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One thing I will note is that the sockmaster doesn't appear to have a history of commenting here when they've been reported. I also checked the SUL log for a few of the sockmaster's other accounts, and that doesn't match up with RacheyFlies' SUL account history at all. The SUL logs of the few recent socks I checked only registered here on here (including the global account), MediaWiki, and Meta. RacheyFlies, on the other hand, has logged in to several Wikimedia projects (all listed in the SUL log) over the past few days. Her global account was created on the Japanese Wikipedia. While this doesn't really amount to anything as far as SPI goes, it's enough to make me (notably, someone who hasn't seen this sock before) a little cautious about whether this is actually a sock of theirs. Sro23, what's your take on this (small) departure from the norm? — Gestrid (talk) 06:44, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Gestrid Here's my deal, today I already check the WP:OFFER that if I'm block, I can have to wait for 6 months without editing. How about that if I'm not a sock? RF (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:12, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can't fully communicate my suspicions without going into WP:BEANS territory, but it's a combination of returning to the same articles ([36] [37] [38] [39] [40]), random following around my edits ([41] [42] [43] [44]) and copying my userpage, ([45] [46]) as well as this.
