Suspected sockpuppets


{{Confirmed}} on the Commons, see commons:Category:Sockpuppets of Bruce2366; I can also send CU information, if desired. Similar edit patterns (e.g. subjects related to Bruce Lee, dog fighting/animal violence, and certain dog breeds - e.g. Tibetan Mastiff); accounts also commonly upload copyvios. Requesting check for additional socks. At least two are already blocked here (Kangaloid and Bruce2366). Эlcobbola talk 15:12, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

They are editing Dog articles, messing around with photos, using inappropriate captions and being uncommunicative. Same traits as before. Discussion ongoing about this at User talk:Hafspajen#Dog people. Bgwhite (talk) 17:51, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another account has been created that I've added above; added same GSD image to user page; first edit gives WikiLove to Weisenstar; then leaves unpleasant WikiLove on Softlavender's talk page.

I believe the behaviour generally reflects that of previous Bruce2366 accounts: uploading copy vios of dog images, mostly Mastiffs and/or Pit bull types; continual use of lower case; leaves WikiLove messages usually with unpleasant messages; some messing about making re-directs; captions and/or file names uses the same style (i.e. breed name body or breed name face).

Previously started to escalate on 11 June and Master Yin then added porn images; the targeting of Softlavender by Ed killer gein reminds me of this as I also received WikiLove from another of the accounts The uploader 101. Weisenstar has also edited Bruce Lee: here and here and related articles here. My apologies if I've listed these incorrectly but I've just pulled a few examples and I'm not familiar with SPI reports/etiquette. SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:29, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sagaciousphil Thanks for finding this and you've done everything correctly. Ed killer gein only edits beyond the wikilove messages were to vandalise Softlavender's user page and put Softlavender on their user page under "Dead spot list". I've blocked them for being a vandalism only account. Also, the user name is in reference to Ed Gein. Gein was the inspiration for Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs. More I think about this, the more worried I get. Bgwhite (talk) 08:48, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Materialscientist: Ok, I just saw the death threat on Softlavender's talk page that also talked about deleting their images from commons. I've redacted it. I'm blocking Weisenstar as this is getting out of hand. Bgwhite (talk) 08:55, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Noticed I should have emailed emergency and I just did. Bgwhite (talk) 09:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Account also created on Commons making attacks on Softlavender. Putting this here as it's hopefully more likely to be seen and hopefully an Admin on both en.wp and Commons can take action? SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:58, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On the Commons:  Confirmed Bruce2366 = Weisenstar = Ed killer gein. Эlcobbola talk 20:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All the accounts reported here have now been blocked by User:Bgwhite and User:Materialscientist. I suspect that this case can now be closed. Nick-D (talk) 03:35, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Minor point. Both accounts were blocked by Bgwhite.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:32, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. First edit to article space was a dog article. Previous socks mostly did dog edits.
  2. Similar name to previous sock Orayht
  3. I looked up "Oraytt" on Google and Filipino results appear. Bruce2366 was also doing Filipino articles and Orayht also comes up with Filipino results.
  4. Previous socks did death threats, so I'm erring on the side of those who received the threats in the past. Bgwhite (talk) 20:02, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
