Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AFROdr/Archive

Evidence submitted by Elockid
The articles and the view points are exactly the same most notably with Dominican Republic and Dominican Spanish. They're also editing the same exact part of the article, demographics and composition of population. 71.196.72.160 is exactly the same edit as AFROdr, 190.167.140.89 showing the same place of editing.

Even though the IPs geolocate to different areas, the behavior is exactly the same. Causing disruption regarding percentages on the Dominican Republic, despite warnings, and repeated edit warring.

New IP added, 190.167.136.42, that looks to be block evading continuing the same types of edits as 190.167.140.89.

This diff is basically the same as 71.196.72.160's edit where the percentage of Black was changed to 84% but on a different article. It seems that there is either meatpuppetry or the person has moved to the Dominican Republic. Further evidence linking 190.166.128.44 to 71.196.72.160 can be seen with this edit which is the IP advocating the same percentages as 71.xxx edit and AFROdr's edit again.

The disparity in geolocation makes me nervous on this one. It could be meat-puppeting, it could simply be editors that agree. Even without sockpuppeting there are multiple 3RR violations in that edit history. I think a checkuser is necessary to determine if the named account is one or both of the IPs.

 * I was hinting towards meat-puppetry at first but the behavior, the editing of basically the same two articles, and same thoughts/opinions makes me think otherwise. One of the IPs could be an open proxy. AFROdr appeared not to long after 190.167.140.89 was editing and warned and 71.196.72.160 hasn't edited in about 2 days but AFROdr reinstates their edits. It's puzzling. Elockid ( Talk·Contribs ) 22:58, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * There may also be similarities between 190.166.128.44 and AFROdr in Latin America. The Ogre (talk) 15:44, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Any reason to suspect there are other registered accounts involved in this? If not, this is in the duck range and doesn't really require a CU. Nathan  T 21:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not that I can see. The reason I requested the CU was the geolocation problems: it's hard to believe that IP addresses from Florida and the Dominican Republic belong to the same editor.&mdash;Kww(talk) 21:33, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

per Nathan. No CU necessary. If this isn't socking, then this is clear proxying. –MuZemike 19:53, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

AFROdr indefinitely blocked for edit-warring and sock puppetry. The two articles have already been semi-protected. –MuZemike 19:53, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

 * The sock was blocked for only one week, this is whether an indef is warranted.Jasper Deng (talk) 21:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

 * - The master is super stale, so there's nothing to run a check against there. And CU won't connect an IP to an account anyway. Since AllStarSun was blocked in another case for socking, I'm closing this. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm putting this on hold. Looking for sockmaster. Elockid  ( Talk ) 00:18, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Could a clerk make a separate case for ? I've blocked AllStarSun1 as a sock of DDatGuy1. Elockid  ( Talk ) 00:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 05:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
