Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Tim Vickers (talk)

Both creators of multiple copyright violations dealing with Ohio State Representatives (see accounts' deleted contributions). I'd like a checkuser as I think other sockpuppets are likely. An IP hardblock would be valuable if it is possible, due to the continuing determination of this person to add copyright violations to Wikipedia in the face of multiple warnings.

Evidence submitted by VernoWhitney
[edit]

All accounts focus almost exclusively on Ohio politicians and appear to be throwaway accounts.

STATEHOUSE1839 was blocked on 11 March 2010 and Jansport87's first edit was within an hour and their first mainspace edit was to add some details to 112th Ohio General Assembly, which was created two days earlier by STATEHOUSE1839. On 19 June Jansport87 was threatened with a block and their last edit was on the 20th, which was shortly followed by Gldnegls's first edit, which was to George Distel started by STATEHOUSE1839. Their second edit was to 107th Ohio General Assembly, edited by both prior accounts and later by LAVINA4194. I don't know why they abandoned Gldnegls on 16 July and started LAVINA4194 on 18 July, but regardless LAVINA4194 appears to be their latest account.

The three latest accounts have all heavily edited Ohio General Assembly. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2 minutes after CAFESDO received a final warning for removing AFD notices, the Earioh account was created, and immediately removed an AFD notice from one of the articles created by CAFESDO , then proceeded to comment on many of the articles created by CAFESDO. A clear case of socking to avoid a final warning WuhWuzDat 20:54, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence submitted by VernoWhitney
[edit]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CAFESDO/Archive was brought to my attention, and I believe the accounts are related and would like to confirm that if possible before opening another CCI. An almost exclusive focus on Ohio politicians and continuing copyright problems, as well as abandoning old accounts when threatened with a block all fit the previous patterns of behavior. Given the frequency of account changes and the strong likelihood of (re)introducing copyvio I believe a sleeper check may be called for. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The ranges for the IPs above would be far too wide to really do anything about.

Rangeblocking is not going to be effective as his IP-hopping is too random, and the chances for collateral damage would be too great.

  • The ip is from Dayton, Ohio like the others. There are also tons of checkable socks in the archive if I'm not mistaken. The edit of the ip is characteristic of past socks. The sock accidentally revealed his identity to me through email communications and he is known to have some sort of issue with Bubp. Marcus Qwertyus 07:43, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    •  Clerk note: I Know this case is closed, but I want a note of what OSUHEY seems to be doing now. Take a look at the edits of OneTwoThreeGo (talk · contribs). Based on the edits, I believe OSUHEY is trying to rack up enough minor edits to get his account to autoconfirmed status, thus getting around all the article protections. I don't really think there's much we can do about this step, but I want it to be documented. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 22:45, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This "block" is ludicrous. I make a whole-hearted attempt to help this individual clean up information that was stolen from ME and placed on wikipedia, and he blocks ME. How does that make any sense?

Two blocked ducks. Probably nothing to for further checking as the duck is obvious. Adding report just for archiving. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of Bruce Goodwin using the same sources as previous versions of the article and a near derivative work of the same copyvio language used in the same dating back to the very first version posted by other sock RollingRock2009 (talk · contribs).

 Inconclusive. They appear to be editing from open proxies. TomAHouseholder does share the same UA as VDPTKATW (talk · contribs) though. Elockid (Talk) 20:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: - I'm on the fence. There are some differences in the two articles, but they appear strained. It would be easier to compare if there were more diffs. Leaving open for observation and review by other clerks. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 23:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Personally I think this is very likely. The two edits the account has made are exactly OSUHEY's style. The only problem is that OSUHEY socks usually make more than two edits, but he is aware of our SPI processes and often tries to convince innocent users that he's a normal editor. Hut 8.5 12:28, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closing as no action. There has been no further editing from that account but if there is new evidence which still suggests this sockmaster please refile for consideration.

Creation of Ohio politician article with some copying. Every previous version of the article was created by the same sockmaster (see deleted history). Requesting CU for sleepers and probably other active socks as well. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:40, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note:  Clerk declined. In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:32, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Substantially identical edits as an IP on Randy Gardner (politician). Re-creating deleted page Michael Curtin. Unaware of any similarities to the former deleted page. Maybe an admin could check? Linking to a non-exsistant template in this revision which is similar in name to these OSUHEY-authored templates. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 16:17, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty obvious, blocked. FYI the new Michael Curtin page is a bare stub, the previous version was more elaborate. Hut 8.5 18:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
