See this thread at the ANI archives. User:PM734's contributions are nearly identical to those of the banned user. I'm requesting a checkuser because I'm afraid, at this point, that there may be other socks out there inserting misinformation into articles. I think it might also be a good idea to salt 2011 Junior Olympic Games and 2011 Summer Junior Olympics, to discourage further article creation; I don't see a legitimate event that would require either title.

 * Since the socking was so obvious, I have blocked for block evasion. CT Cooper · &#32;talk 23:24, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

 * The data for Diogomauricio3 is stale, unfortunately, so we can't run a CU check against it. On Dec 29, Muzemike ran a check on PM163 and found three other socks - FGH23, FD45, and DF31. Are you requesting another look at these? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 18:58, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry - didn't realize an actual check on those had been run the other day. Not necessarily - but I believe it's been established that those are socks of Diogomauricio3, so would it be possible to check this one against those? -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:38, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It's possible, but as CT Cooper has stated, I think it's fairly obvious that PM734 is the same user as PM163 and others. So CU isn't really necessary here. Elockid  ( Talk ) 17:34, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * - Obvious sock is blocked. If there is more, then come back and we'll do a sleeper check, but for now no CU needed. -- DQ (t)  Merry Chrismasand a Happy New Year!   15:13, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

has been creating socks for the making hoax articles and edits in the userspace and mainspace for a while, and appears to have also been doing the same thing on the Portuguese Wikipedia. While it is obvious that these accounts are socks, and I have already blocked all four, having to keep constantly deleting hoax articles and blocking offending account is becoming a burden, and hence I think it is appropriate that a checkuser is carried out to block the underlying IPs if possible. Please note previous investigations on this user at Sockpuppet investigations/EL9833/Archive and on meta. CT Cooper · &#32;talk 18:45, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Okay, thank you for your assistance. I will try and keep on top of any further socks that appear. CT Cooper · &#32;talk 09:17, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

 * - Yeah, let's see if any were missed here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:24, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

✅ plus:



Rangeblocks will not be possible on this, to say the least. Moreover, this is a cross-wiki abuser, disrupting mainly the Portugese Wikipedia as well as few others. –MuZemike 06:53, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

There are some notable similarities between this group of accounts and the socks of Diogomauricio3, and I think a check of these against the most recent confirmed socks would be beneficial, though due to some oddities I don't think this is a WP:DUCK case. Full evidence at User talk:Teles (diff). CT Cooper · &#32;talk 15:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

The accounts activity on pl.wiki rather than pt.wiki was the main reason I requested a checkuser, as the behaviour was otherwise very similar, though this could just be a coincidence. The user's garden of fake articles will still have to dealt with; I will approach the user, and if no response, I will be going to MfD. CT Cooper · &#32;talk 17:45, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

While these two named accounts are a match to each other, they are ❌ to previous accounts in the archive. I also note the lack of disruption on pt.wiki, which seemed to be characteristic of previous socks. TN X Man 15:33, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've blocked and tagged Europe14Q, and have warned EuroQele. Not much else to do here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:02, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Obvious similarity in usernames, both accounts committing same edits to same articles. Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 17:33, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

The user in question has been creating a bunch of articles with titles like 1988 Summer Junior Olympics‎, and then removing the hoax tags without comment. I've seen the MO before, about a year ago - User:PM734 did the same thing, and was blocked for it. He was a sock, too, as I recall, though I don't know whose. I've seen a bunch of these articles show up on newpage patrol over the past few days, and I think there were other editors involved, hence the request for checkuser.

NB: I didn't say anything on his talk page. If he's who I think he is, it won't do any good, and the number of hoax articles is so large that I'm working on damage control. Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:00, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

 * . Both accounts are stale, so we'll have to do this by behavior. As a side note, I've moved this case to show Diogomauricio was the master: PM734 was blocked as a suspected sock. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:55, 7 December 2011 (UTC)


 * This account was clearly owned by Diogomauricio3, given that it exhibited many of the classic behaviours of his socks. I have blocked the account, tagged it, and deleted all the remaining hoax articles it created. CT Cooper · &#32;talk 10:37, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * All are blocked, closing. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  14:25, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Same habit of adding fictional details about future Olympics, especially Youth Olympics. Compare with /. As I argued here, this user is also Sockpuppet investigations/FallandSpringOlympics and Sockpuppet investigations/Mauricio80, so those cases should be merged here. This edit ties the IP to FallandSpringOlympics via this edit. Comparing this with this; and this with this connects both Mauricio80 and FallandSpringOlympics to 186.31.33.188.

 * I and several others were under the impression Diogomauricio3 had stopped editing. Looks like we were wrong, as the accounts seem to match the profile of Diogomauricio3, and would have WP:SOCK blocked them both. The IPs are a little more borderline but also appear to be him. The subtleties in his editing style have changed slightly, but that's happened before. In general, I think a more co-ordinated effort between users would he helpful for future efforts to stop him. Perhaps creating a Long-term abuse page for him would be a start; I will happily do it when I have a spare moment. CT Cooper · &#32;talk 19:57, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
