Hilarious, let me know if there's anything I can do to help the investigation progress. Cada mori (talk) 19:04, 4 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Tiptoety, I can confirm that there is evidence connecting the Cada mori and BrandyAlex accounts. I currently have only limited internet access, so it will be a day or two before I'm back online, but I'll send along what I can when I get access again. - Bilby (talk) 19:25, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Good luck with the investigation! Cada mori (talk) 16:50, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

 * - - To compare  to .  sent me an e-mail with links ans screenshots from Elance.com that show that those two are probably the same person. The connection of Rosemaryujoh to the other two is not explained properly. I also do not see any evidence concerning the IP (4.15....).  Vanjagenije   (talk)  18:20, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * - I have encountered Elance sock accusations before, which resulted in a determination that the Elance account was an imposter. The Elance account was subsequently closed. We must tread lightly when running checks/investigating cases involving Elance and accusations of paid editing. Pharaoh of the Wizards, will you please email whatever additional evidence you have to the functionaries mailing list? The address can be found here. Thank you, Tiptoety  talk 01:12, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Please remember, but that said, &  are ✅. From a purely technical standpoint,  appears ❌, but it is possible they are using a very dynamic set of IPs, and possible even webhosts.  Tiptoety  talk 02:22, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Cada mori and BrandyAlex . I don't feel strongly enough about the behavioural evidence regarding Rosemaryujoh to block and I assume the private evidence did not present a solid case for that either (or Tiptoety would've likely acted on it / said as much). IP has been used less than half an hour almost a month ago, so no action to take there. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  04:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

LebronJamesGOAT was created less than a week after the master was indeffed. They created Wolfie.com containing a logo uploaded by the master on commons:.

Same pattern with Luminescens: and article creation.

While the master is stale and these are obvious DUCKS, I request CU on LebronJamesGOAT in order to see whether there are other accounts lurking. SmartSE (talk) 10:40, 14 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Please reconsider. As I said the accounts listed are DUCKs to the master-I have already evaluated their behaviour. Given the history of the master there is a high likelihood that other accounts exist but where there is no crossover with the master. We don't need two accounts to CU only a reasonable suspicion that sockpuppetry is occurring. SmartSE (talk) 08:24, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

 * - Like you said, all but one account is stale. There's no one to compare LebronJamesGOAT to. Sro23 (talk) 01:42, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi can someone explain what is going on? Thanks! LebronJamesGOAT (talk) 02:43, 16 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I just happened on this SPI. FWIW, a CU could run a check on one account, to see if it is related to other undiscovered users (a sleeper check). Not commenting on whether that is the appropriate course of action here since I haven't looked at the evidence. --Rschen7754 05:03, 18 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Cada mori has no history of creating sleepers. I still don't understand why a CU would be necessary. Sro23 (talk) 02:29, 3 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, has this been resolved? I'd like to get back to editing? LebronJamesGOAT (talk) 17:17, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I came across this dealing with copyright issues. I concur with Smartse's behavioral findings on LebronJamesGOAT based on the following deleted pages created by the master (], ) which match the exact same format as Essen BioScience. Given that the article Smartse previously deleted also matches this format, and that this is likely UPE and the account is still being used, I'm DUCK blocking LebronJamesGOAT. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:34, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * With one account blocked and the other inactive, there's nothing left to do here. Closing. Courtesy pinging Sro23. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:41, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
