Their very first edit is to revert this edit by and restored their previous sock's version of List of military equipment of Cyprus, despite the masses of unreferenced material. Similarly refers to me as a troll for daring to enforce content policy here, the same way Cypriot Nationalist did here and here. Also of interest from that post is the phrase For the past 2 years I have been trying my best, so it is crystal clear they are not a new editor. FDW777 (talk) 13:47, 14 November 2020 (UTC)


 * is a checkuser confirmed sockpuppet of Cypriot Chauvinist that was editing less than a month ago, which suggests there is data available? FDW777 (talk) 21:06, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * FDW777 - Thanks for letting me know. I didn't see an archive listed in this SPI, so I figured that the only user I'd be able to compare the results to would be the sock master. :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:36, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Comments by other users
Hello. I would like to provide certain corrections to the above accusations as it seems they are misplaced:
 * 1) FDW777's belief is misplaced as he/she is accusing me of sockpuppetry because I have tried to reinstate the same data as other users did. This is insufficient to accuse me of sockpuppetry.
 * 2) FDW777 removed data without warning and without providing adequate time to collect references and place them within the text.
 * 3) FDW777 is selectively "attacking" the article List of military equipment of Cyprus with the pretext that there is a lack of references, although countless other articles regarding similar lists contain unreferenced material. This raises questions about his/hers motives.
 * 4) I do refer to FDW777 as a "troll" as I have researched his/hers talk history and actions.
 * 5) You (FDW777) are selectively taking my words out of context, as I clearly stated that I have been trying my best for the past 2 years TO PROVIDE REFERENCES, although with no luck.
 * 6) I edited the article List of military equipment of Cyprus in February 27-28, 2019, back when I did not have a user page. The two IP addresses that you will see during those days are the ones I used back then.

The 80.47.74.131 IP has previously been blocked twice for block evasion and is still being used by the same person, due to their continuation of the same edit war on List of military equipment of Cyprus. The 83.219.49.114 IP is either the same person or a meatpuppet, based on the edit war on the same article. Also see that IP's blanking of Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Cypriot Chauvinist, which is an unlikely action for someone wholly unconnected. FDW777 (talk) 10:59, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hellenic Patriot added, per a message on my talk page. I have to admit though, I'm completely clueless if there's one sockmaster or two involved here. The two IPs listed above are both in the UK and appear to be Cypriot Chauvinist, wheras Hellenic Patriot says they are using IP address 185.191.206.9 and cytanet wifi (although apparently that can be used in the UK by roaming). In addition 83.219.49.114 claimed to be blocked several hours earlier, but wasn't. Hellenic Patriot definitely appears to be a Cypriot Chauvinist sockpuppet. For example at 18:17 that add an image (File:OYK Greece taking a photo.jpg) that had been uploaded to Commons only a minute before by Cypriot Patriot, whose account here is a checkuser confirmed sockpuppet.

I appreciate you can't tell me any private information about who is editing from where and won't publicly link IPs to accounts, but I'm wondering if this new information changes anything? On the face of things, this editor appears capable of editing from both UK and Cyprus IPs on the same day, so this might affect the case above. Thank you.

 * I suggest you read WP:MEAT, since you are admitting to being a family member of an indefinitely blocked editor, editing from the same location, and makes edits on their behalf. FDW777 (talk) 17:42, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Its on nobodies behalf but mine and I have already spoken about this with another admin when my IP was blocked and they have said that as long as they themselves dont go on the account, its no harm no foul. I dont know why you think I owe you any explinations to this and of all people, you cant be suggesting things to me when youre way of helping a page is literally scrubbing 90% of it. Instead of you know... asking someone, like me, to go find refereneces. I say that but, victor and I have added references before and you still scrub so, I dont know where to take it from here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hellenic Patriot (talk • contribs) 19:26, 21 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Are you forgetting something? You say. I say that but, victor and I have added references before and you still scrub so. This refers to, which you, as Hellenic Patriot, have never edited. Except when editing with your previous account and the IPs listed above. FDW777 (talk) 19:42, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Response to FDW
Hello, as I had stated previously there is more than 1 person using wikipedia in my household 1 of which being Cypriot Patriot (Family member), so your answer about the UK should be that a VPN was used to give the UK, the family member also used other VPN locations which let them edit, I however dont need to do that because A)Im not him/ her and B) Because the house IP is no longer banned its just that Cypriot Patriot cant edit. Now as victor previously stated, you cant just call everyone a sockpuppet because they revert your trolls (And there is more than enough proof to show youre a troll such as when yesterday when you were told to just revert the bit with now reference, you went and again, reverted most of the page for no reason), ive learned from Cypriot and Victor and the countless other users and I am now (On my own because you like trashing the military equipment page) having to make a new page and to satisfy your needs I am adding references and photos to stop your to be quite frank, troll. To be honest I dont see how youre still allowed to edit given the issues 3 people have had with you now on just 1 page (3 people being Cypriot, Victor and now me). Conclusively yes me and Cypriot are in the same household (Alongside the rest of my family), however we are not the same person and to my knowledge even if he/ she is blocked, I can still have my account in relative peace, Cypriot doesnt touch this account because hes a lot more argument prone than me and I dont want to lose my account for it. So I hope this settles your theory but I also hope that admins take a bit of a dive into you because what you do is not funny, it just makes wikipedia look less real because you wipe out most of the information.

 * I am not sure whether I believe that Hellenic Patriot is a "family member" of Cypriot Whatever, and it's not important. They are acting toward the same goals, apparently editing from the same IP, and that's enough to call them related, whether they are sock or meat.

Same concentration of articles about the armed forces of Cyprus. They repeated this removal of maintenance template by a known IP sockpuppet here making the same "troll" claim their other sockpuppets do. FDW777 (talk) 17:39, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

At Talk:Underwater Demolition Command, Here they say the websites and books that reference these units when they do speak about the unit (Especially the ones I put up). "the ones I put up" is an interesting phrase, considering their only edits to the article are. So they've never actually added any references, they did however when editing as Special:Contributions/80.47.74.105 which is a known sockpuppet and currently subject to a rangeblock.

Hello, I see you have a bit of a complex with Greek users but im here to clear it up for you, I re added the sources you removed and the sources I added were either known sources in the Republic of Cyprus and Greece or I have confirmed with people who were in the Unit. Again, as I said to you in the talk page for the Talk:Underwater Demolition Command, I really dont know your problem with Greece and Cyprus and I dont really care to look into it because you clearly arent going to stop and as admins dont seem to want to do anything to you, I cant exactly do anything. My job is to add information based on my knowledge and you say I concentrate on Cyprus articles but I cant help but realise in my talk I have said my knowledge areas are there, it also strikes my interests that you seem to always know when someone writes anything on Cypriot/ Greek pages, I have checked the logs of multiple Cypriot/ Greek related articles and whenever someone rights something, you nearly immediately strike it down and use the petty excuse you always do which is the sources although sources are clearly provided. Another thing is, you do the same thing as youve done to me, you revert then just report them as sockpuppets. Im sorry but thats not how you do things. As Ive already also said to you, you appear to live in the UK so I really dont know your issue on Greek pages (For nations literally thousands of miles away from yours) unless there is a personal problem. I dont know whether youre the real sockpuppet or whatever is going on but you need to stop, its not funny and just ruins other peoples work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CYNGArma (talk • contribs) 19:27, 27 January 2021 (UTC) I would like to add that if any admin would like proof of what I said, Im perfectly fine with showing proof of my claims, if you wish to look for yourselves id direct you to List of military equipment of Cyprus which if you see the logs this user has quite literally trashed it. All those users that tried reverting it but that page is irreversible, hes somehow managed to get away with vandalizing an entire page, I get he has a thing for calling everyone sockpuppets but come on, not everyone can be a sockpuppet and not everyone can be wrong about this user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CYNGArma (talk • contribs) 19:37, 27 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Strange that you should mention the List of military equipment of Cyprus article, which you have never edited. And equally strange that you should make the same false vandalism claims about that article as previous sockpuppets, such as here, here, here (and many more examples at Special:Contributions/Cypriot Nationalist) or here as an IP.

Forgive the poor form of commenting on a closed case, but I've just noticed this now and suspect this information will be useful, if only for future reference: Commons CU data are here.

I'm aware the 88.107 IP is stale now, listing it to aid future sockpuppet detection.

You get comments by the 92.28 IP here of the reason I have done this is due to how small Cyprus is as a nation, not many people talk about its weapons (Understandable) and all, because of this, similar to the excuses by previous sockpuppet CYNGArma here where they say a lot of these pages relating to Greece and Cyprus happen to be sources, unfortunately, given that these nations are fairly small there isnt millions of sources out there. Also at Cyprus Fire Service CYNGArma made this remova, which was repeated by the 92.28 IP. Same at Cyprus Civil Defence, CYNGArma removed here, repeated by 92.28 IP here. The 92.28 IP is also very active at Draft:Rangers (Cyprus), which has only been editing by known Cypriot Chauvinist sockpuppets.

The 88.107 IP is linked to both CYNGArma and the 92.28 IP. At Cyprus Navy the IP made this removal, repeatd by CYNGArma here. At Heckler & Koch G36 the 88.107 IP added the Cyprus Police as a user here, an addition repeated by the 92.28 IP here. Related change also made at the Cyprus Police article, the 88.107 adds the Heckler & Koch G36 as a weapon here, an addition repeated by the 92.28 IP here. FDW777 (talk) 12:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I think that 92.28.111.95 is them based on overlap at the Rangers article, though their edit summaries are written a little differently, so I'll admit there's some doubt as to whether this is the same person or someone working with them. I'm confident enough in the relationship to block, though, blocked the IP for two weeks. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:07, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

The first IP is straight back to their favourite article List of military equipment of Cyprus, as well as making this edit (removing the Turkish term for something, a common sockpuppet trait) at Hellenic Force in Cyprus which is the same as this edit by a previous sockpuppet, same with this edit at Cyprus Navy being the same as this edit by a previous sockpuppet. Here they ask about the deletion of a "Rangers (Cyprus)", page, which is Draft:Rangers (Cyprus) and is referred to at Sockpuppet investigations/Cypriot Chauvinist/Archive and was only edited by known sockpuppets.

Commons:Special:Log/CyprusMilitaryPics shows two uploads, at 18:05, 19 February 2021 and 20:05, 19 February 2021. The first upload was added to an article here by the first IP at 18:15, 19 February 2021. The second was added to an article here by Savvas Constantinou at 20:07, 19 February 2021. Savvas Constantinou also gravitated to the List of military equipment of Cyprus article, as well as removing the Turkish name with this edit at another article. In addition to common behaviour, there's also the timing of the edits by the first IP and Savvas Constantinou. On 19 February the first IP made two edits at 16:32 and 16:37, then Savvas Constantinou was created at 16:47 but doesn't start editing. A couple of hours later the IP edits again with the last edit being at 19:42, then Savvas Constantinou begins editing at 19:48.

The second IP exhibits typical sockpuppet behaviour, turning up at the List of military equipment of Cyprus article and calling me a troll.

Pinging since the accounts are also active (one of them anyway, but both are live accounts) at Commons. FDW777 (talk) 14:22, 21 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Added Elladhtis, since their first edit is to restore the IP's version of List of military equipment of Cyprus, plus this edit at Hellenic Force in Cyprus removes the Turkish name just like the currently blocked first IP here . FDW777 (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

 * , I've decided to be conservative and hold off on protecting those two for now, in the hopes that this SPI has got a handle on things.

 * - I've already blocked Elladhtis as an obvious sock based on this edit comment, but holding off on the tag until CU comes back.

Similar IP to one listed at Sockpuppet investigations/Cypriot Chauvinist/Archive. At Turkish invasion of Cyprus the IP changes the result here to "Ceasfire Armnistice" (note the erroneous "n"), it just so happens previous sockpuppet Hellenic Patriot also changed the result here and just happened to spell armistice wrong in the exact same way. Similarly the IP's edit summary claims "officially, the conflict hasnt even ended yet", similar to previous IP 81.178.220.21 said here with "the conflict officially isnt over yet". You also get the usual accusations of vandalism such as this and this. FDW777 (talk) 18:06, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Edit to Cyprus Fire Service here is the same as by previous sockpuppets here and here. Similarly at Evrychou they make this removal in the same way as a previous sockpuppet here. User:HKyprosEinaiElliniki is an interesting userpage containing just one userbox declaring they have a COI on a particular currently non-existent article, just like previous sockpuppet George Papadopolous did here (claiming a COI with a different currently non-existent Cyprus related article admittedly) FDW777 (talk) 22:49, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Looking at this whole page and the investigations it seems that there rarely proof of an actual sock on FDWs behalf, editing what other users have edited before isn't proof of a sock. And yes I'm making the article for the battle of Nicosia, you can check that in my contributions, I'm not ready to publish that yet because well, the battle of Nicosia had 3+ separate skirmishes and I've only finished 1 of said skirmishes, granted though, there is a lot of content already there but there is lots to add too, and Im not one who likes to deliver half made work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HKyprosEinaiElliniki (talk • contribs) 08:03, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Added additional potential sockpuppet since they are also active at Draft:GreekCypriot War of Independence‎.

They have branched out into more general Greek topics, but still the same emphasis on recent military articles. Creating first versions of a draft like this suggest this isn't a new editor, and their use of the unncessary "(Greece)" disambiguator is the same behaviour as previous sockpuppets when creating drafts. Behaviour on Commons is the same as previous socks, this upload was uploaded without licence information, same as Commons:Special:Log/Cypriot Patriot, Commons:Special:Log/CYNGArma and others.

At Sockpuppet investigations/Cypriot Chauvinist/Archive the drafts Draft:Battle of Nicosia (1974) and Draft:Battle of Nicosia are mentioned, after nearly six months I can't remember exactly what they looked like but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they resemble Draft:Battle of Nicosia Airport created by Guest443. At Draft:Operation Fist (1967) by the same editor there's the behavioural trait I've previously shared with by email, please let me know if you need reminding about this.

Manemjeff started editing on 19 June, shortly after ThatMHistorian was blocked following the most recent report here. There is the general Cypriot Chauvanist POV, in particular in this case incorrect assertions via the SBAs on Cyprus, which can also be seen in one of ThatMHistorian's edits. Admins may be able to look further into the case of the new Operation Gronthos article, created right after autoconfirmed was obtained in quite a substantial state, which may reflect Draft:Operation Gronthos.
