Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Decisionnowmadefact45/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
Originally registered as User:Satrio.m, engaged in extensive editwarring over the word "God"/"Allah" in the motto of Yemen in October 2022, was almost blocked for it, requested username to be renamed User:Decisionnowmadefact45 and used IP address 139.195.80.25 when Satrio.m "forget to re-login". A common pattern in editing talk pages is attempting to delete any comments made by himself and his critics at Talk:Yemen (for which General Ization threatened them with a block: You may not delete Talk page discussions that include the comments of other editors.), at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple, and Innitiative.35 at User talk:Decisionnowmadefact45 (#1) and Innitiative.35 at User talk:Decisionnowmadefact45 (#2); these latter two are the strongest evidence to me that he created a sock to circumvent a block of his old account, and tried to erase comments made with his old account and criticism by others against his old account with the Innitiative.35 sock; these diffs are what prompted me to submit this investigation. The request to have his username changed just after being warned a final time for being "exactly one disruptive edit from being blocked, probably indefinitely" also supports this effort to erase what he has said/done and for other users to forget about it. Additionally, all accounts share an interest in the Islamic deity (Satrio.m/Decisionnowmadefact45 editwarring over the word "Allah"/"God" in Yemen's motto, changing it in Sudan's motto, as well as Innitiative.35 writing بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ("in the name of Allah the Merciful the Merciful" in Arabic) in the edit summary when creating his userpage), and a particular set of Muslim-majority countries, always featuring Yemen, Indonesia (the IP address 139.195.80.25 is located in Indonesia) and Malaysia (Decisionnowmadefact45 edited the page "Malaysia" on Indonesian Wikipedia), and always on Indonesian and English Wikipedia (Innitiative.35 also on Malay Wikipedia): Global user contributions Decisionnowmadefact45 Global user contributions Innitiative.35. One of the first things Innitiative.35 did on English Wikipedia was create the Category:Muslim Majority Nations, and include several countries such as (again) Yemen, Indonesia and Malaysia (the first 3 countries he categorised as "Muslim Majority Nations"). A perhaps trivial but significant observation is the similarities in usernames "Innitiative.35" and "Decisionnowmadefact45", and Satrio.m/139.195.80.25 saying he would like to change "Decisionnowmadefact45" to "Decisionnowmadefact30"; 'making a decision' and 'taking the initiative' are similar, and '45', '30' and '35' as the last two numbers in the username are similar. I rest my case. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:44, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

 * There is no block evasion by Innitiative.35; indeed, Decisionnowmadefact45 was never blocked at all. The IP made three innocuous edits regarding the rename back in October of last year. Closing with no action. Bbb23 (talk) 13:44, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
