118 alex

26 June 2017

Suspected sockpuppets

Name's nearly the exact same as the sock and although their only edit was to blank an article[1] their main interests here are Singapore bus interchanges, Thanks –Davey2010Talk 14:34, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also they've made a UTRS appeal at some point which I'm assuming was closed as denied?[2] so they should probably be made aware (if they need to know - not sure how utrs works), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:44, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010: Based on the latest sock's username I think the real sockmaster here is User:Timothyhouse1. Sro23 (talk) 18:32, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sro23 - Ah bingo that's who I was referring to on the ANI report, I have no idea if Alex and Timmy are the same person as the username could just be a coincidence but still thought it still deserved mentioning just incase, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:09, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think wait for the CU result is advisable ways. SA 13 Bro (talk) 19:17, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

information Administrator note This account hasn't edited any bus articles yet, which makes it difficult to tell. However, the name certainly follows the pattern of previous socks. It might be time we run a CU to find out who's who because I'm starting to get confused. Timothy S1 was recently blocked as a sock of 118 alex. From looking at his archives, Profile101 has impersonated Timothyhouse1 before. So, are TimothyS1 and 1193 ALEX socks of 118 alex, or are we being trolled? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It has at ro:Special:Contribuții/1193_ALEX. CheckUser evidence from meta and rowiki is inconclusive, with a different IP and UA from past accounts. Worth checking here too. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 00:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I looked at this account earlier, and agree with Ajraddatz. This account appears to be Red X Unrelated to the other "alex" accounts. Timothy S1 looks like, as far as I can gather from CU logs, Timothyhouse2, and the "alex" accounts as well. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 01:37, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User seems to have a major interest in Singapore bus articles and I was reverted here which I thought was odd, I don't have much evidence other than above however after all the crap with Timothy S1 I'd rather be safe than sorry, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 11:15, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Editor User:Psasana has the exact same behavior as User:Star Awards of publishing bus schedules in Singapore. Reporting as 118 alex, who seems to be the master account.

The focus on Singaporean bus articles and threats to continue sockpuppeting remind me of this, especially considering Timothy S1 and the "118[0-9] alex" accounts look to match the CU logs for User:Timothyhouse2, a Profile101 sock. Sro23 (talk) 02:26, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sro23: Timothy S1 is now a  Confirmed match to 118 alex. And, yes, this is increasingly looking like Profile101. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 01:45, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This users very first edit was to their userpage which if you read it it's very bizarre, their second edit was a Singapore bus interchange but the userpage wording makes me believes this is Alex, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 00:34, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SMB315C edits everything related to Singapore and Singapore transport (which is fine) however bizarrely they'd CSD'd Qwertypolices and 118 alexs userpage under "Block user, makes no sense to keep page" which seems pretty odd?, Considering they're supposedly a new user they seem to know the socks as well as the CSD template pretty well?, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 13:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
