Suspected sockpuppets
The user is vandalising the same pages in the same manner as Dnywlsh. He is also bring back old debates in the 5G NR frequency bands talk page that we already dealt with for his sockmaster account and is engaging in Edit warring in numerous articles such as LTE frequency bands, 5G NR frequency bands again. His edit comments are in the same tone as the accused sockmaster as well. I suspect he is using Sheytoon123 to defend his edits as 73.128.151.200 in the various talk pages just as he did as Dnywlsh, Dv42202 and Dv4200 last year. Joshua Shah (talk) 15:01, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

This person's claim appears to be that since I have edited several of the same articles as another user months ago, I must be the same person. This person is engaging in vandalism and an edit war. All of my edits to those pages were constructive (not vandalism) and I provided sources for every edit I made. This person reverted all of my edits, and did not provide any sources for their edits. 73.128.151.200 (talk) 22:54, 7 July 2022 (UTC)


 * You did not provide any sources for your edits which is why your edits were reverted. We also refuted your arguments last year on the Talk:5G NR frequency bands page yet you return making the same edits again. BTW you may want to look at WP:WAR to see what edit warring really is. Your conduct as well as the manner in which you respond alongside Sheytoon's responses resemble those of Dnywlsh which is why this SPI was filed. Joshua Shah (talk) 23:42, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * In fact, I did provide sources for all of my edits. For whatever reason, you and strangely deleted all of my sources. I did not edit the page "last year", and have never interacted with either of you before. As the admins here confirmed below, I am not the same person who you apparently had a disagreement with last year, nor am I the same person as Sheytoon123. You have not "refuted" anything I've said, actually. You don't like anyone challenging your incorrect edits, and you immediately revert and argue with anyone who disagrees with you. The majority of your edits are completely incorrect and unsourced. It's very disappointing. 73.128.151.200 (talk) 17:31, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Lol bro you are very funny. The admins did not confirm or deny whether or not you are Dnywlsh and are currently evaluating your behaviour which is currently proving that you are indeed the same person. You did not provide any new sources and therefore, just like last time, the links you provided did not back your claims. You just cannot accept the fact that multiple persons have disproven your claims on numerous occasions over the past year and have decided to attack anyone who doesn't agree with you.

This is as close to an admission that Dnywlsh is the IP as we're likely to get. - MrOllie (talk) 18:42, 15 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Lol I like how he's now accusing me of having multiple accounts on reddit. He is currently banned on the r/cellmapper subreddit due to his attacks on others and he is the only person managing a so called "accurate list" of spectrum holdings on the cellmapper documents page. He has been creating multiple accounts to evade his blocks in that community. Joshua Shah (talk) 18:54, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't know how I got tangled up in this. For the record, I only use my own account. I have been posting about 4G, 5G and RAN topics for years under sheytoon or sheytoon123. It's my first time trying to contribute to Wikipedia, but this is the most difficult site I've ever encountered. You can look up my history on sites like HowardForums, MobileSyrup, Redflagdeals, Public Mobile community, and Reddit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sheytoon123 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 22 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree with Sheytoon. There's no good reason to assume that he's a sockpuppet of Dnywlsh. Patachonica (talk) 16:52, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

 * - I blocked the IP for one week for disruption, not for block evasion. I didn't have time to investigate the allegations of block evasion because the IP was being too disruptive, particularly at WP:ANI, now. I've now looked at the report, and although diffs would be helpful, I've seen enough on my own to persuade me that there's merit to the socking allegations. However, I am requesting a CU in case the log data is helpful in tying Sheytoon123 to the master and blocked socks. Obviously, I expect no comment re the IP. Bbb23 (talk) 00:02, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The CU logs don't contain much on the older accounts, and nothing that would allow me to make (or rule out) a connection to Sheytoon123. Behavioural evaluation would be needed to make any kind of connection. Girth Summit  (blether)  11:20, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking at the editing histories, I don't see any particular reason to think Sheytoon123 is connected to Dnywlsh in any way other than a shared interest in the topic of 5G wireless. Closing with no action. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:01, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
