Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Bidgee (talk)

Both accounts have edited in climate related articles but the user continues to add unsourced content into articles even when warned. The user names are the same (other then one having an extra 2 of course). Per Wikipedia:Multiple accounts a user must have a good reason for multiple accounts.

Checkuser request – code letter: E (Community ban/sanction evasion )
Current status – Completed: Reviewed by a Checkuser, results and comments are below.

Requesting that CheckUser look into this. I saw quite a few recent accounts in the User Creation Log that end in "92", and I have a good feeling that there are some sleeper socks here. MuZemike 21:19, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

Next time, please file the case under User:King kong92, with any new socks popping up as suspected sock puppets. MuZemike 21:08, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason the Twinkle script added a new SPI under the name of new suspected sock rather then under the master. Thank for fixing the SPI for me. :) Bidgee (talk) 21:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Next time, go under the sockmaster's account and use the "arv" function there. It should file properly then. MuZemike 21:14, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, the two accounts listed above are  Confirmed as is User:King kong922; I'm not seeing any other accounts on that IP or range that appear to be sleepers. Hersfold (t/a/c) 00:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Bidgee (talk)

ThrillerFilmFan and 125.168.144.158 have the same interests (Climate and Films) and editing pattern (way they reference, the insertion of OR) as the masterpuppet (King kong92) and sock (Greengoblin92). Bidgee (talk) 11:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In December 2009, Merbabu (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) had marked ThrillerFilmFan's user page as a suspected sock of Jackp (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). It could be possible that King kong92 [and sock(s)] are related. Bidgee (talk) 11:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CU-confirmed IP sock[4][5][6] and returning socks (this time with falsified sources) [7][8][9]. Puduḫepa 03:06, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by other users[edit]

@GeneralNotability: as far as I remember, the IP (220.245.55.248) was blocked by Berean Hunter on April and yes it is IP sock of the globally locked LTA. You can see the same IP ranges (193.119.xx and 27.32.xx) together with various CU-confirmed King kong92 socks (Shelati, Meganesia, and other IP socks) here[10]. See also the previous SPI case [11]. The same range (193.119.xx) was there again. Plus, see this edit[12] by the IP sock 27.32.85.124 for more evidence re "shared interests". Also see this and this. Not to mention technical match between all those 4 IPs. Puduḫepa 22:37, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, the newest IP sock added an extra stuff ("Babylonian captivity")[13][14] to the same content the previous IP socks added/restored[15][16][17][18]. The relevant page was edited by now blocked IP sock just two days ago[19]. Considering all those links and other similarities mentioned above, the listed IPs appear to be WP:DUCK of the same globally locked LTA. Puduḫepa 04:30, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a case of WP:DUCK, but we might also have two editors who promote Assyrian nationalism, and who both have a particular interest in the Peter Gwargis article, removing mention of his parents being Iraqi as "irrelevant" - see near identical edits and summaries here and here.

Hi. The edits are significantly different and the edits have nothing to do with nationalism. All I did was add a link to Assyrian people and removed his parents' nationality. I also updated information regarding his career. There are too many pages on Wikipedia that label Assyrians as Arabs, Persians, Iraqis when they are not so I made an account to correct the misinformation. Peter is an Assyrian born in Australia.
