Suspected sockpuppets

Similar pattern of obsessive

WP:MEATBOT-style editing website infoboxes, in addition to a peculiar fixation on Genworth Financial. jp×g 18:34, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply

  •  Clerk note: Declining CU, because there are no named accounts in the case, just an IP (CheckUser isn't used to connect accounts to IPs). The IP was already blocked for block evasion by NJA; the block has expired, but the IP hasn't edited since the block; it can be reinstated if they start up again.

  • Technically  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) (see cuwiki). Based on the behavior, DJFace1 is  Blocked and tagged. Closing. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 02:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Saw and blocked Mazurkevin on some of the AFDs, some behavior similarities and obvious spamming. MER-C 11:26, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

  • Mass-nominations of hotels at AfD with (near-)copypaste statements ([1][2], note the timestamps)
  • Similar gnoming pattern, compare Wikiwriter's early contribs
  • Similar edit summaries, see e.g. frequent use of "fix order" ([3][4]) and this [5][6]
  • Similar unusual sat/sun-heavy timecard ([7][8])
  • Decent amount of overlap [9], 43 instances total. Blablubbs (talk) 10:27, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk – there is log data for Wikiwriter700/DJFace1 (talk · contribs) and, according to L235's comment in the archives, a cuwiki page. Please compare this account to that data and run a sleeper check if feasible. Blablubbs (talk) 10:28, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  In progress - TheresNoTime 😺 11:52, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • So, everything is stale, but cuwiki does have some older data. I could lean this towards  Possible, but only barely and certainly not with any confidence. I'd recommend to rely entirely on behavioural evidence in making your decision - TheresNoTime 😺 12:08, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. I'm sufficiently convinced by behaviour. Pink clock Awaiting administrative action – please block the sock indefinitely. --Blablubbs (talk) 12:35, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Blablubbs -  Done. Closing SPI... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:48, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ward330 is already blocked as suspected, I'm listing it for the record. Fountainback signed up the day after Ward330's indef. There is significant overlap [10], with similar content removals in articles like Airbnb. Similar edit style: [11][12], [13][14], [15][16], [17], [18][19], [20][21][22][23]. Similar timecards.

  • I ran some checks on Fountainback. I'll call them  Likely. Blocking as suspected. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:48, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Filed for the record. Massive overlap with past accounts, same timecard, same edit summaries as documented in past SPIs. Spicy (talk) 12:23, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
