Same user name format. Same interest in computer articles and ISIL article. Posted on sockpuppeteer's (who was just blocked) talk page for little reason. Neil N  talk to me 17:10, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Strong indications that they are related to User:Update stormtrooper and others. See [] for details. Legacypac (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * And they have been indef'd as a sockpuppet by User:Diannaa Legacypac (talk) 20:31, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Blocked, as they confessed. It might be worthwhile to proceed with check-user to look for other sleepers or related accounts. -- Diannaa (talk) 20:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I was just now coming here to request CU for sleepers based on the links already provided, especially stuff given at WP:AN3. Nyttend (talk) 21:42, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * and are ✅. I'm unable to locate any obvious sleepers but will note that both accounts are editing from large, active ranges. Additionally, the technical connection to  is  given that they are using Open Proxies.  Tiptoety  talk 19:39, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Given that the accounts have been created in a similar timeframe and all have been blocked, I don't think it's terribly important to discern the master account right now. As such, I'll be closing the case. Mike V • Talk 20:45, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Two newer account with the same immediate interest in adding or adding to a "Justification based on Islamic religious text" section to the ISIL article. and  and defending it  Similar username format (two words, then year) and same style of meaningless userpage post as other SOCKs. Pink love 1998 also has edited computer articles like some of the others (see edit history). This sock farm is being used to justify terrorist actions, pushing the terrorist justification for all kinds of attracities. Legacypac (talk) 00:11, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Can we get a checkuser please? --Neil N  talk to me 07:37, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Computer articles, ISIL. Neil N  talk to me 14:09, 25 January 2015 (UTC) added an IP. Same behavior. Legacypac (talk) 16:40, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

New IPs, same nonsense. Legacypac (talk) 07:20, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Abu ali-shabat thawadi certainly appears to be yet another duck, and I'll block him as such. Since he and Pink love were both lurking in the grass for a while before jumping on the contested article, I request CU to check for other sleepers. Favonian (talk) 17:02, 25 January 2015 (UTC)


 * A CU was done here last week (see the archives), so I see no point in doing another check now. —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 07:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Behaves incredibly similar to Malam kanam 2003 who was banned as a sockpuppet of Absolution_provider_1999. Trying to include this material 1 as Malam kanam 2003 did here 2. They also had a similar contribution pattern. Malam_kanam_2003's edits started with edit count racking up edits to their sandbox (which I can no longer see in his history due to the deleting of their sandbox, but saw before when I reported them to ANI), as has Hand_snoojy. I believe that this is a clear case of WP:DUCK, so I do not think check-user is needed, unless we are going to look for any similar accounts. This account is being used to dodge the block on Malam_kanam_2003, which was itself banned as a sockpuppet for dodging blocks. Ping me if further evidence is required.

I will note that as of the time I write this, Hand snoojy is indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet on behavioural grounds, and has requested a Checkuser to clear his name (which implies he's either arrogant or is manipulating his IP address). — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 20:54, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm closing with no further action needed. Even if the technical data has changed, the behavioral evidence is clear. <b style="color:#151B54">Mike V</b> • <b style="color:#C16C16">Talk</b> 00:17, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
