Just found that User LeiaWriter and User FunnyGuyNot both are working on same pages as when User:FunnyGuyNot created a draft Terry Brival (French Music Artist) the user LeiaWriter edit it and reviewed it in the result he moved the page to main article space from draft and then again User FunnyGuyNot created the draft for Mark Leigh and it happen same again when user LeiaWriter edit it and reviewed it in the result he moved the page to main article space. I also think that they are Undisclosed Paid Editors. Gurvinder | Talk 18:36, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Reviewing my talk page archive User talk:Cabayi/Archive 2#Tickmill regarding the deletion of Tickmill LTD I was surprised that User:Meeli436, given his assumption that he was entitled to advertise on Wikipedia had given up and gone away (Special:Contributions/Meeli436). A quick search showed he hadn't. He, or a meatpuppet, had created a draft of Tickmill on 27 July under the username User:Carmenfinan. The article was promoted to mainspace by User:Josepant54 who had a suspiciously low contribution count for that kind of activity. This has lead to a cluster of new (July & August) users promoting each others drafts to mainspace, or adding improvements to each others articles, sharing the trait of creating user pages as if they were talk pages. I've followed the trail as far as I can see it.
The revision history of Tickmill flags up the following users:
- User:Josepant54 - 2nd edit, creates user page as if it were a talk page, created Draft:Xploit Infotech Ltd., Tickmill, Bikini Luxe and contributes to Chitrangana [1] & Draft:Joseph Michael Gyulay
- Bikini Luxe suggests that User:Jasonrator & User:Aliciadewi may also be part of the group.
- User:Kramartramer54 - 1st edit, creates user page as if it were a talk page, then 2nd edit on Tickmill, adds puff to Adil Dalal, contributor to Draft:BeHappy2Day, contributor to FinancesOnline.com & Draft:Erika Schwartz(1).
- User:Minato530 - 1st edit, creates user page as if it were a talk page, promotes Chitrangana from draft, edits Draft:Job-Q.com which flags up the potentially involved single-focus editors
- User:Dedy2109 and
- User:218.186.92.132 as members of the group.
- User:Minato530's edits on Coalition for Post Tubal Women suggest that User:108.216.112.32, User:Susanbucher (who returned after a 44 month hiatus just to edit this one article), and User:Johnn728 may also be part of the group.
- User:Johnn728's link to the group is reinforced his userpage in the group's style and by edits on
Draft:Xploit Infotech Ltd. & FinancesOnline.com[2]
- User:80.233.209.58
- User:Ratrotricken - sole edit is linking Tickmill's CEO Sudhanshu Agarwal, which leads to a PROD notice on the talk page of:
- User:Blessedhuman111- 1st edit, creates user page as if it were a talk page, edits on articles shared with other members of the cluster... Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) [3][4], Chitrangana [5], Erika Schwartz [6]. Suspicious interest in Unblock-Us, ScoopWhoop, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ScoopWhoop. I note the AfD includes comment from User:DemonMiner (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cutest Penguin/Archive) but don't believe there's an overlap.
- User:Generitek contributed to Tickmill ~ his other contributions looksuspect but have no overlap with the rest of the group, Darwinex,P2P Asset Manager,P2P Asset Management,[[]]
Inspection of Adil Dalal adds the following suspects:
- User:Ramustrazer, contributor to Draft:BeHappy2Day, Adil Dalal
- User:Micasasucasa23 - 1st edit, creates user page as if it were a talk page, contributor to Draft:BeHappy2Day, FinancesOnline.com, Adil Dalal, Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA)
- User:Humanitarianprinci, contributor to Draft:BeHappy2Day, Adil Dalal
- User:Hitteroh, contributor to Adil Dalal
- User:Consultoeco, contributor to Adil Dalal
- User:Capitarocapitaro, contributor to Draft:BeHappy2Day
- User:Quazertrazer, contributor to FinancesOnline.com
- User:Himshelg23, contributor to FinancesOnline.com, Xploit Infotech, Erika Schwartz [7] & Chitrangana,reviewed Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) [8]
- User:Tuckelmukkel, creator of Draft:Joseph Michael Gyulay
- User:Magnusjanos, contributor to Draft:Joseph Michael Gyulay & Unblock-Us, created Xploit Infotech
- User:Masaotrussel - 1st edit, creates user page as if it were a talk page, contributes to Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA), Draft:Erika Schwartz(1), & Unblock-Us
List of articles involved:
Adil Dalal Bikini Luxe Chitrangana Coalition for Post Tubal Women Darwinex Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) Erika Schwartz FinancesOnline.com P2P Asset Management P2P Asset Manager ScoopWhoop Sudhanshu Agarwal Tickmill LTD Tickmill Unblock-Us
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ScoopWhoop
Draft:BeHappy2Day Draft:Erika Schwartz(1) Draft:Job-Q.com Draft:Joseph Michael Gyulay Draft:Xploit Infotech Ltd.
Sockmaster would be Susanbucher if involved.

[edit]- At the outset, I'd like to thank Bazj for a masterful presentation. The CU was complicated but made even more complicated by a judgment call I made that the actual master is TejaswaChaudhary, not Generitek. Because Generitek is much older, this was only possible by first finding that Generitek is unrelated and that behaviorally the account was not a match. One of the hallmarks of TejaswaChaudhary and this latest group of socks is that generally accounts acted in concert. Generitek, although they created new articles that may or may not have been a result of paid editing, acted alone.

- I am closing this SPI, but I will take care of the blocking and tagging right after the closure.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:18, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- One note to anyone looking at this. Because these are socks of an existing master, any pages - articles, drafts, userspace pages - created by them may be tagged for deletion per WP:CSD#G5.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- DGG noted on my Talk page that my statement above about G5 is correct as to the conclusion but analytically incorrect. G5 is applicable because the master and the first round of socks were blocked on July 9, 2015. All of the new socks were created on or after July 15, 2015. Therefore, the pages they created were "while" the the other accounts were blocked, one of the requirements for G5.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Following the trail of the earlier puppets & reporting their puppetry to commonsI find that the file used in Xploit Infotech & Xploit Infotech Ltd. was c:File:Xploit infotech Limited.png which was uploaded by William Hembrom who, by the messages on his talk page has form with regard to article variations on the Xploit Infotech name. The timeframe on this account is in accord with that of the other sockpuppets. Bazj (talk) 21:22, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
