Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/David Adam Kess

I just stumbled upon this page. Could be merged, @Largoplazo and Bbb23: dak = David Adam Kess. All the best, Achim55 (talk) 17:12, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

This is not the right place to make such a request; nor am I or Largoplazo the right editor to ask. You might try posting to the Talk page of an SPI clerk or a CheckUser.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:20, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Fine, thank you. Pinging Vanjagenije who archived it. Btw, I don't care whether it's done or not. Got enough backlog on the Commons... --Achim55 (talk) 17:34, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

@Achim55: Please, provide evidence behind your request. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Vanjagenije, both are from Ecuador and the IP 200.124.227.194 (see c:User talk:200.124.227.194) connects them. In addition File:Robert C Kess Sgt US ARMY WORLD WAR II - Silver Star - pURPLE hEART - SHARON MEMORIAL PARK MASSACHUSETTS.jpg seems to be a relative of his. --Achim55 (talk) 09:28, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I might also point to the master's tendency to inject sources into edit summaries, <ref> tags and all, and this newer account does the same, twice with the <ref> tags included. On the other hand, I note nearly no intersection of topics of interest. The master focused on finance; this account didn't, other than two comments at Talk:Sam Bankman-Fried.

  @Vanjagenije Looks like something went wrong with the history merge on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/David Adam Kess/Archive - all the old cases are in the history, but only the most recent one is shown. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

  @Pi.1415926535: Uh, I forgot to finalize the merge. Done now. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:28, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
