Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Claritas/Archive

Evidence submitted by Divebomb
User:Tedescoboy22, a newbie who is surprisingly knowledgeable about WP, has recently been nominating articles for deletion with completely invalid criteria, much like the indefblocked sockpuppeteer Claritas. Several editors are concerned that the two accounts may in fact be the same person. This seems to be backed by the fact that the Tedescoboy account "went silent" around the time these concerns were first voiced. A (not very convincing) explanation was given here, but it should still be investigated. Request CheckUser to get to the bottom of this mess. Divebomb (talk) 16:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

This is a case of WP:DUCK as the IP is using very same language as used by other known socks, particularly. —Farix (t &#124; c) 01:01, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, there are too many socks of Claritas, like which was a sock, which commented at WP:FAR. Thankfully, Claritas has been banned from editing for long-term sock. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions)  11:35, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


 * What's the deal with User:Jeromels (User:Adorno rocks, User:Edbinz, User:Edqin)? When Claritas was noted on the userpage for User:Jeromels, the edit summary stated: "per admission on his talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Claritas" but I can't find it in the history of User talk:Claritas. This turns up a little overlap such as these:     which while unusual, it isn't exactly unheard of, either. The language used in this AfD   does seem to match Claritas pretty well. --Tothwolf (talk) 13:58, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I've added 74.198.9.247 and 74.198.9.234 to the above list. Both of these IPs were listed along with the already blocked 74.198.9.152 in the the SPI Calathan filed for Jfgslo: Sockpuppet investigations/Jfgslo (diff). These are all Rogers Wireless out of Ontario, Canada and have all participated in these same AfDs. --Tothwolf (talk) 14:21, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

 * IP blocked 2 weeks. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:46, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Tothwolf, I'm going to leave those IPs alone for now: one hasn't edited in three weeks, the other in three months. Relist if they become active again. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:11, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

User:Transformers Liquidator states "Hi Dr. Mies. How are you? I couldn't help but notice that you nominated some Transformers articles for deletion en masse. Good job. You do realize that that was my "thing" for a while, back in like 2010 and part of 2011, right? How did you even discover the Transformers articles? Well in any case, good job." User went into said deletion discussions and !voted delete in all. This matches the previous behavior of Claritas and particularly of User:Blest Withouten Match, who was blocked as a sock of Claritas and mass nominated Transformers articles.

Oops. Was blocked while I was creating the SPI. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 04:01, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
