Suspected sockpuppets

 * (: original case name)

Don't know if this is a sockfarm, or a group of UPE/COI editors. All have worked almost exclusively on the article, The Potash Twins, which the puppeteer clearly is either COI or UPE.  Onel 5969  TT me 10:58, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

It looks like Purpleturnip123 isn't blocked. Was this an oversight or intentional? Liz Read! Talk! 02:21, 5 March 2022 (UTC)


 * @Liz I blocked the accounts I could confirm from CU data. I left Purpleturnip123 to somebody who is more familiar with the behavioral aspects of the case to look at. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:00, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * - per the page history, EIA and . There are a few other things (beans?) that make me suspect that at least some of these are socks, as opposed to different UPEs or fans. Please CU to clarify the relationships between these accounts and check for others. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 01:11, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * CrystalizedCheese, Scientificmonstrocity, Ace1456, One43293, and Trombone1983 are all ✅ to each other. Purpleturnip123 is .  I'll block all the confirmed accounts, but leave it to you to tag as you see fit. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks. Since Purpleturnip123 has not edited in several months, I'm not going to take any action with them for now. They can be re-reported here if they start editing again. I moved the case to the oldest blocked account and tagged the blocked socks. Closing. Spicy (talk) 17:29, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Both extremely fishy accounts: AugustusBlue1888's first edit was to try to remove a page protection template at Draft:The Potash Twins and seems to me to be an obvious duck that, had it been the only account involved I probably would have just gone ahead and blocked them. The other account appears to be a decade-old sleeper, given that their sole edits back in 2012 were to also attempt to create an article about The Potash Twins, and now has resumed activity following the blocking of other socks active on said page. signed,Rosguill talk 00:03, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

 * NebraskaJazz is ✅ to AugustusBlue1888, and the two of them are to CrystalizedCheese.  Given the common subject overlap, and a couple of other clues, I'm blocking them as suspected to CC. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:34, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

This account only edited on 9 November 2021, and among other things created Draft:The Potash Twins, which was then edited by other CrystalizedCheese sockpuppets. This duck was swimming in the same pond; request behavioral evaluation. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:10, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
