All accounts created in the last 14 months whose primary edits are to their own talk pages in the same, strange way (User:BlackWhiteSea-snake:, User:RNMarshman: , User:Sleepersleeper123123: ). Their user pages all look similar: a single meaningless line of text. All three users systematically fail to sign their posts on the talk page (e.g., , ). And now, despite their very limited contributions elsewhere, all are posting or editing at Galileo affair; if they were the same user this would be abusive editing meant to give the appearance of consensus in a dispute. Darouet (talk) 21:14, 24 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm having trouble keeping up with this. I'd like to add two more to this list and have placed the names above (User:Source123source and User:Repetitionbanned997), for the same reason as the others, and because these new accounts, just created, are participating in the dispute in the same way. -Darouet (talk) 14:56, 26 February 2014 (UTC)


 * (ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp  has asked for evidence of abuse, so here are two things this user/users is/are doing that would violate WP:ILLEGIT if they were a single person:
 * 1) Editing under multiple accounts at Talk:Galileo affair during a dispute, without declaring the multiple accounts to be those of a single person, to give the false appearance of consensus for their position:
 * RNMarshman: ,
 * Sleepersleeper123123: ,

 * 2) Editing under these same multiple accounts at Galileo affair in the context of a dispute:

User:Qqq787878 and User:Anrti-tag are new accounts (created 17 and 3 March 2014, respectively), which edit nearly identically to User:BlackWhiteSea-snake and associated sockpuppets. The characteristics of User:Qqq787878 and User:Anrti-tag that match User:BlackWhiteSea-snake and their sockpuppets are:


 * User page contains only one nonsense line. User:Qqq787878 and User:Anrti-tag have identical user pages, containing only the character "."


 * Talk page contains a number of short, nonsense sections, created by User:Qqq787878 and User:Anrti-tag themselves.


 * User:Qqq787878 seems preoccupied with the idea of removing spam. Here is an example diff. This is a common theme among the sockpuppets of User:BlackWhiteSea-snake. See, for example, and.


 * User:BlackWhiteSea-snake's sockpuppets have been active at Galileo affair. User:Qqq787878 and User:Anrti-tag showed up in the talk page ( and ), raising the same accusations as the sockpuppets of User:BlackWhiteSea-snake, after the other suspected sockpuppets were banned.

In sum, User:Qqq787878 and User:Anrti-tag displays the same talk- and user-page idiosyncrasies as User:BlackWhiteSea-snake, User:Qqq787878 has the same interest in removing "spam" (i.e., adjectives the user finds unnecessary), and both have very short edit histories, yet have joined the same discussion as User:BlackWhiteSea-snake's sockpuppets, making the same exact accusations.

New username editing on very similar topic, Galileo, as other sockpuppets of User:Azul411 (User:Qqq787878 and User:Anrti-tag). One of only two substantive edits made by User:Da1Th2Er3Vs4 is the removal of "peacock wording". Other sockpuppets of User:Azul411 display an obsession with removing what they term "spam" from articles. User:Da1Th2Er3Vs4's user and talk pages have the same strange features as those of many other sockpuppets of User:Azul411: the user page is a single nonsense word, in this case the number "12," and the talk page is a long set of nonsense titles with short, nonsense contents, in this case the number "12" repeated many times.

User:Czech1001Slovak is a new sock-puppet of User:Azul411. Like User:Azul411's other sock-puppets, User:Czech1001Slovak edits in articles related to Galileo and the Galileo affair, and shows a particular interest in removing what the user calls "peacock words," as in this edit. User:Czech1001Slovak's user profile and talk page also follow the same scheme as those of User:Azul411's many sock-puppets: the profile consists of a single sentence ("History is important," in this case), and the talk page has single-word sections, each with a single word (in this case, there is one section, "Slav," containing the text, "History."). I am requesting a checkuser for User:Czech1001Slovak, to verify that they are, indeed, a sock-puppet of User:Azul411.

Because User:Azul411 has created so many sock-puppets (dozens have now been identified, and they spring up regularly and edit disruptively in Galileo-related articles), is it not possible to ban User:Azul411's IP address from creating new user accounts? Is there any way to deal with users who repeatedly create sock-puppets, other than tracking down and reporting every new sock-puppet? -Thucydides411 (talk) 16:42, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Co880Tes can be immediately recognized as a sockpuppet of Azul411, for exactly the same reasons as all the previous sockpuppets of Azul411. Co880Tes's user page consists of a single, cryptic sentence, while their talk page consists of a one-word section heading, with the same word as the content of the section. This is the strange signature of all of Azul411's sockpuppets. Co880Tes is again removing material randomly from Galileo, calling it "peacock wording", the same phrase that Azul411's numerous sockpuppets have used. Thucydides411 (talk) 21:35, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Exactly the same reasons as all the other socks. The same, strange one-word user page ("1915"), and self-written talk page with one nonsense heading, followed by a nonsense sentence ("Note: 1905 and 1915 are important in science."). Almost immediately after creation, the new user starts editing disruptively on Galileo. Is it possible to block an IP address from creating new user accounts? Azul411 seems to create several new sockpuppets a week. Even though they're immediately obvious, it's a real nuisance to report them every single time. Thucydides411 (talk) 21:21, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

This appears to be a relatively innocuous case of sock puppetry for the moment, but since both these accounts have attracted my attention for editing other people's edits in talk pages and are still doing so even after being warned, and that having two accounts is incorrect, I believe the case merits more specific action. The use of a well-known administrator's name in test edits in both talk pages confirms it's the same person on both accounts and suggests encounters with that administrator in some other context. After the Oglesruins cases, I'm somewhat touchy about a user creating multiple accounts for later use, I'd like a CheckUser to determine if these both came from the same IP and if so, whether other accounts were created at the same time.

Past edits have involved editing text written by other users in talk pages, enough that I noticed and commented to both accounts. The fact that after a long time off, both accounts simultaneously came live making identical edits using the name of a very active administrator's account (who has not been involved in edits from either of these two accounts) suggested that these might not be the only two accounts this user is using. If possible, I'd like to have these accounts checked to see if they are related to any other ongoing sock puppet cases. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 04:04, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Same habit if putting nonsense on own user page and talkpage. Edit to Talk:Amir Alexander looks likely to be related to master's obsession with ancient mathematics/astrology/whatever [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Amir_Alexander&diff=667605213&oldid=667604206].

Missed your ping, sorry. Here's what I mean by similar nonsense. The similarities were pointed out by : [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Amir_Alexander&diff=next&oldid=667892301]

1) Userpage similarities between previously-identified socks were pointed out in SPI archive by as " Their user pages all look similar: a single meaningless line of text. " which matches LLogic345543's userpage. Maybe [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:One1915stone&oldid=628621766 this] is a good example of prior habit of initializing userpage with an abbreviation of username, same as [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:LLogic345543&oldid=667604851 this]. Brianhe (talk) 21:10, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

2) The content similarities are a little tenuous, but Llogic left this at Amir Alexander, an expert in the history of mathematics and science, [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Amir_Alexander&diff=667605213&oldid=667604206]. The edit mentions ancient Egyptians and calculus. The sockmaster's edits were obsessively about the Galileo Affair, also concerning the history of the mathematical science of astronomy.

Hope this makes more sense of my earlier terse comments. Brianhe (talk) 21:10, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

1st account: This account's only edits are creating its user page, user talk page, sandbox, sandbox talk and the sockpuppeteer's talk page. The creation of the sockpuppeteer's talk page suggests the accounts are connected.

2nd account: Similar usernames and only edits on user page, user talk page and talk pages of Holocaust-related subjects (Self-hating Jew, Bombing of Dresden). Looks like an Holocaust denier.

 * Comment — For any admin who's unfamiliar, User:188hnsd's pattern of behavior — a few brief edits to their own talk and user space followed by exclusive and disruptive editing of Galileo-related pages is the signature of an Azul411 sock. So is the creation of user or talk pages with simple and vaguely creepy words or annotation  prior to disruptive editing. This editor is once again messing around with Galileo articles, please block when possible. Thanks, Darouet (talk) 17:48, 8 March 2019 (UTC) Tagging  since you helped out with the last ones. -Darouet (talk) 17:51, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

 * - I've added 23rtls71 per similar behavior . Please compare and check for any missed accounts. Sro23 (talk) 18:28, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * so . I ran a sleeper check on 23rtls71 and there were no obvious ones, and didn't feel comfortable running one on 188hnsd after an initial look at the data because of the results from 23rtls71. Closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:59, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Same patterns as with previous Azul411 sockpuppets. The username is a random combination of numbers and letters, as with all of Azul411's sockpuppets since 2018. The user page consists of the number "12" - which is similar to Azul411's other sockpuppets' user pages. This account did essentially nothing after being made in June 2020. Today, it made a few meaningless edits (such as adding and removing ".." to/from a talk page: ), and then immediately showed up at Galileo (surprise, surprise) to revert my edits:. The edit summary in the last diff is particularly revealing. It bizarrely accuses me of having a COI with respect to Galileo, which is something Azul411's socks have repeatedly done in the past. -Thucydides411 (talk) 14:31, 9 August 2020 (UTC) Thucydides411 (talk) 14:31, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
