 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

These users keep recreating the same articles, with exactly the same content, all focusing on the Bulgarian games developer Bulgames. Most are in Bulgarian, though a couple are in English, and they are being speedy deleted as spam or blatant copyright violations.

Checkuser does not seem necessary due to the similarity of the account names and the behaviour. Passes WP:DUCK. All the suspected sockpuppets have been blocked, apart from the latest, Dev bulg. There was also an SPI filed on this at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/User:Bulgames, but I thought I'd follow the instructions on the main page, rather than trying to contribute to that one, as I'm not all that familiar with SPI. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 10:09, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That was quick - Dev bulg has just been blocked. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 10:17, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Struck the part about some of the pages being in English, as that was from memory, and I might have got it wrong. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 10:24, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Another account this person used for block evading:. Has also been creating the same articles, which have been subsequently deleted. – The1337gamer (talk) 10:54, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

 * It is evident that all three accounts are operated by the same person. Consequently, I have blocked indefinitely. It should be pointed out, however, that  was the first account to be created, so unless there are older sockpuppets lurking undetected, that particular account was not used for block evasion.

 * I moved the case to the name of the oldest account. I also tagged all three. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:55, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Created Metro 1998 (video game), which is clearly an attempt to circumvent the fact that Bulgames' favorite article to create, Metro 1998, has had its original title salted. Everymorning (talk) 19:02, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
