Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Both contributions show clear advertised campaigning including, not only the same mirrored contents, but the second account starts immediately after the first account, simply not coincidental. SwisterTwister  talk  07:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

I'll note that the 2nd suspected sock-account has now started Draft:Designok ( Web Design Agency ), also given the user (similar to past accounts) immediately resubmitted for review and including the quote "only for notable, not promotional" which is surprising for such an apparently new usee.

 * GBhandari created Draft:Designok, an exact replica of the master's deleted article DraftOK. Blocked and pages deleted. for check against known sock farms, for example Sockpuppet investigations/OfficialPankajPatidar. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:50, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Second sock blocked, page deleted again. if you have new information to add, please add it as a new comment rather than revising your previous comments which have already been acted on. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 23:31, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The following are ✅ (group 1):
 * The following are ✅ (group 2):
 * No sleepers or other accounts found. Location suggests there may be a correlation between the two groups, but the ISPs used are different. No obvious connection with any existing case that I'm aware of. Yunshui 雲 水 10:03, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

 * what about Designok India? Thanks, GABgab 14:39, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The second group is also promoting the agency, their new page Draft:SEO Techniques 2017 is a copy of a blog entry on designok.in domain. All tagged as socks of this case based on behaviour and CU results, and case moved to oldest account's name. I was about to close but will wait since GAB has a question that might affect tagging.

 * , sorry, my bad. Designok India is technically ❌ to the others; although their IP does geolocate to the same region as DesignOK the ISP and useragent data are different. Yunshui 雲 水 15:05, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. Everyone's now (courtesy of Ivanvector). Closing. GABgab 15:12, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
