 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Дарфбунк пакт дунфт created his/her account using as a moniker the very signature of Darthbunk Pakt Dunft on fr: Wp (in cyrillic) (see: ) after the latter was suspected of being a  banned user on fr:WP. Can IP address check state if they could indeed be the same person? or if it is a case of usurpation? The first account has been globally blocked for cross wiki spam. The latter was then blocked on French wiki as being a sockpuppet of the first using the similitude in the accounts's names and signatures as rationale for their ducktest. The first has not been active on the Fr. Wiki but only on ours. Hence my request and why I do it here and not on the FR: Wiki. Hope my clarification is making it understandable. Thank you. S.P.R.

 * Can you help use here? You blocked Darthbunk Pakt Dunft in French Wikipedia. Why? Are those two sockpuppets of someone else?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:07, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi ,
 * First I want to explain the background of, the puppet-master. He has been banned from frwiki in March 2015, after a few month of disorganising (WP:POINT) many community debates and requests, especially our Articles for deletion procedure, and for harassing several contributors. Since this date, he began to come back regularly on frwiki to continue what he was doing. In ~one year, he created more than 200 accounts to hide his actions. See fr:Wikipédia:Faux-nez/प्रजापति for more details.
 * Concerning, he came on 's (the one who had blocked him initially) talk page here on enwiki to complain about the deletion of the article about Nathalie Martin (article which didn't met the french notability requirements). It was already a previous प्रजापति's sockpuppet who had created the article, and there were an other one who cames to complain about the deletion on frwiki (see full details here).
 * Concerning, the link was also obvious, even if the Check User request conclude on an undetermined result. He had the exact same behaviour and expressions as many other of the confirmed sockpuppets of प्रजापति : A few day after his registration, he re-open an Article for deletion discussion, disturb some other one, and go annoy on her talk page. , the CU who managed the request, conclude by saying that प्रजापति had clearly found a new internet access.
 * Furthermore, and  are obviously linked (the second account was created just 2 weeks after the first one, the first one signed several times Дарфбунк пакт дунфт,...).
 * I hope this will help you ; if you have any questions, just ping me. Best regards — 0x010 C  ~discuter~ 15:52, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . In that case, all future socks should be globally locked, to prevent cross-wiki abuse. I blocked प्रजापति and . Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:04, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * After some more notes here, I think we need a CheckUser to compare with . This may be a case of impersonation and not necessarily socking.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  22:39, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I looked into this globally, given this case's impact on three wikis. and  are technically unrelated (different IP, geolocated country, mobile phone provider, type of phone). Given the fact that  was created after, using the same IP etc as accounts made well before the latter, impersonation is possible. I'm not locking the Darthbunk Pakt Dunft account - local admins/CUs can decide what to do with it, and I would still recommend checking locally here and reporting results to the CU list or wiki. Other socks of Дарфбунк пакт дунфт are worth reporting to SRG. Ajraddatz (talk) 06:33, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry for a delayed response (was traveling) - Дарфбунк пакт дунфт was locked based on an IRC request, claiming that it was a banned user making x-wiki abuse. --Jyothis (talk) 20:41, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * After those findings, I unblocked Darthbunk Pakt Dunft. Дарфбунк пакт дунфт remains globally locked. Case closed.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:07, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
