This is very clearly the same person, aside from the near dozen creations of previously deleted content, they've recreated Wright L among others with an identical summary to that of Supercalifornication ie, 04:34, 12 February 2021 diff hist +2,467‎ N Wright L ‎ New article creation CUPIDICAE💕 21:11, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The original reason that the account by User:Extrapolaris was blocked was because I was caught pasting material from copyrighted websites. Now however, I don't engage in copyright violations anymore as I've understood copyright rules for Wikipedia, so the best solution is to unblock the account for Extrapolaris and merge the User:Supercalifornication and Convariety accounts with the Extrapolaris account.Convariety (talk) 22:01, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian[reply]
Have you considered, I don't know, follow the correct unblock procedure and maybe, like, not socking? The best solution is for you not to edit while blocked. Seems fairly obvious. CUPIDICAE💕 22:04, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've asked the administrator several times to unblock me in the past because I don't paste copyrighted material from other webpages into new articles I created, but they didn't respond to my calls.Convariety (talk) 22:07, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian[reply]

Similar editing pattern to Special:Contributions/Convariety, including creating articles on rare aircraft using Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Missing articles lists.

Also admitted to being this user here by signing as "Vahe Demirjian", which Convariety also did. BilCat (talk) 21:31, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Similar editing pattern to Special:Contributions/Convariety, including creating articles on rare aircraft using Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Missing articles lists. Also appears to be recreating articles originally created by socks of Extrapolaris, particularly https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Vickers+Type+C BilCat (talk) 01:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This case is being reviewed by Jack Frost as part of the clerk training process. Please allow him to process the entire case (including admin actions against suspected socks) without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on his talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

Edits the usual range of Extrapolaris articles, including dinosaurs and aircraft. Specifically, he creates draft aircraft articles until autoconfirmed, and then creates new articles, and adds/subtracts articles from Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Missing articles/1 and Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Missing articles/2, etc. These drafts and new articles are usually poorly written, and often use unreliable sources. Has added copyvios in the past, which lead to his original block, so that may still be an issue. Was recently active on several IPs, but I'm not listing them to avoid potential outing issues.

I don't resort to copyright violations anymore because I have followed Wikipedia rules that forbid pasting text from copyrighted online articles.Nothosaurus (talk) 22:19, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian[reply]

You are still editing Wikipedia despite being a banned user, which is also against the rules. Why would we trust you? BilCat (talk) 22:32, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My account for User:Extrapolaris was recently locked by someone so that I couldn't edit foreign-language Wikis, and I accidentally created the account User:Snubble by accident. Therefore, trust me, just as Kaa from the movie Jungle Book says to Mowgli, "Trust in Me". Nothosaurus (talk) 22:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia at all, as you are a banned user. It doesn't matter why you were banned. You have repeatedly violated you ban by using sockpuppetry, both on IPs and new registered accounts. Please honor all of our rules. I've told you before that I'd support your ban being lifted if you'd. stop editing Wikipedia completely for a year. Yet you continue. The next time you sock after this, that offer will be withdrawn. So please stop. BilCat (talk) 22:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Same crossover between aircraft and paleontology. Article editing strongly overlaps [1]. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:31, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, it's them. See also

This user just recreated Aichi E12A, which has been targeted before by this sockpuppeteer. There also seems to be a similar pattern of editing "missing article" pages. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:48, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Prof McCarthy placed a message on User:68.101.120.164 back in 2011 claiming that they edited from that IP. Not sure how much that applies after 12 years, but I thought I'd point that out; Prof McCarthy, any comments? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:51, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Going through the contributions again shows a strong similarilty in editing style with the more recent sockpuppets: editing pages related to subjects about dinosaurs, aircraft, and missing articles. Requesting CheckUser with this evidence in mind. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 03:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:CUIPDISCLOSE. Additionally, even if this were allowed, CheckUser data is only retained for 90 days, and all historical socks of this master have not edited in more than 90 days, so this case is too stale for CheckUser.
    I will observe that the geolocation of 68.101.120.164 does align with the IPs that have historically edited the Aichi E12A redirect, and this interest in internal project pages related to missing articles and aircraft does seem rather idiosyncratic of Extrapolaris.  IP blocked for 3 months, closing.
