Suspected sockpuppets



 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Both users keep enforcing same edits in same articles with same or similar edit summaries (as seen here and here, but as a matter of example, take these edits: 1a+1b, 2a+2b, 3a+3b, 4a+4b+4c, 5a+5b, 6a+6b, and more). Both accounts focuse in editing Catalan president articles. The suspected sockpuppet has also edited the suspected sockmaster's talk page, adding a message in line with the edit summaries made from both accounts (as seen from here).

 * See my recent closure of a complaint at AN3. The general problem I noticed (about numbering of Catalan presidents) involves IP-hoppers from the Hong Kong Cyberport. I have blocked Special:Contributions/2404:1A0:1001:16::/64 and for one week each and semiprotected seven articles. Due to the general turmoil on Catalan matters I suggest that other admins might be prepared to hand out 6-month semiprotections on any articles on Catalan political figures, when they notice disputes being reported. I'm unsure whether all IPs tracing to the Hong Kong Cyberport might be open proxies. (Why would anti-Catalonia enthusiasts be based in Hong Kong? More likely they are smart computer users from Spain who know how to look for open proxies) I'll go report the matter at WP:OP and see what they think. EdJohnston (talk) 15:11, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * There was an edit war to systematically renumber the Catalan presidents, per this AN3 complaint. There seems to be an argument (reported in the Spanish press) as to whether the men previously listed as Catalan presidents were legit. See this report from a Spanish newspaper. It says that Mariano Rajoy is the 131st president only per 'nationalist historiography'. A widespread renumbering of presidents would obviously need consensus. If someone decides to use widely scattered dynamic IPs to change lots of articles (to avoid scrutiny, or to avoid a centralized block) it should probably be considered socking under some definitions of the term.

 * This isn't sockpuppetry, this is someone with dynamic IP addresses. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 11:30, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
