 * Suspected sockpuppets

The names and addresses were found to be sockpuppets on eswiki (see User page and Talk page). Mickey9992 was the latest to be blocked on December 2nd. There might be more. I was alerted to this from a user I have dealt with in the past. On eswiki, they were accused of copyright violations (violations ranging from snippets to entire articles), using refs that didn't source statements, creating bad translations and removing templates. Best explained here. They were mostly editing and creating articles on royalty and actors, but also did other subjects.

On enwiki, they usually edit/create articles on royalty and actors. I can confirm they copied sentences from one article to another. I haven't seen any larger (paragraph) violations. The articles on royalty are either unreferenced or contain some books as references. So, I can't confirm anything there. I've only brushed the surface on looking into this.

, I haven't gone through the entire list, but some of the accounts don't exist, including the master. Some of the accounts that do exist have no edits. One account (Culture Club) has two edits from June of this year and nothing since. I'm not sure what the point of all this is, but other than the problems at the Spanish wiki, is there any evidence of abuse here? Also, please fix the names. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:10, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * If the accounts don't exist, then I copied them wrong. I just update the master's name. In the first link I gave, it contains the usernames.  I do see issues of copying text from one article into another.  I do see issues of articles with no refs.  These were two of the three things that got the sock banned on eswiki.   The third was translating text from enwiki into eswiki.  Bgwhite (talk) 01:30, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , the list is on the Spanish wiki, but the names don't necessarily correlate to ours. For example, you copied Isabel ju correctly, but there is no account registered under that name here. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to go through the list and correct them if you can, or remove them if you can't. I can't evaluate users that don't exist. As an aside, next time let me know about the changed master's name. Just editing it on this page doesn't take care of certain clerical functions that must be followed when changing the master's name. Sorry for the extra work, but, unfortunately, even in the case of an admin filer, the burdern is on the filer, not on the (poor) clerk.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:05, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * There's been no response from, so I am closing this with no action and without prejudice to Bgwhite or another editor reopening it with a validated list of accounts and the usual evidence of abusive behavior.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:11, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
