I believe I caught User:E4024 socking as User talk:LosPollosHermanos (his user page is red). E4024 wanted to get this picture removed because he doesn't like it and LosPollosHermanos joined Wikipedia less then a day later for the sole purpose of supporting the picture removal. E4024 also put one of those welcome tabs on LosPollosHermanos' talk moments later. Also notice how LosPollosHermanos shares E4024's habit of bolding his speech, which is noticeable here. I can give more examples if need be. Also notice how LosPollosHermanos was created shortly before E4024 was going to be blocked, likely as a last resort for one last attack on Armenia articles. I believe the evidence is sufficient. I recommend E4024's block be increased from 1 year to indefinite or permanent. TheShadowCrow (talk) 20:58, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Evidence 1: LosPollosHermanos made his first and only edit on said picture shortly after E4024
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File_talk%3ATurk_official_teasing_Armenian_starved_children_by_showing_bread%2C_1915_%28Collection_of_St._Lazar_Mkhitarian_Congregation%29.jpg&diff=537609661&oldid=537309437

Evidence 2: E4024 already put a welcome template on his page 5 minutes later
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LosPollosHermanos
 * Consider the likelihood of E4024 being online at the time and how long it would have taken him to notice the edit, realize the editor is new, and set up the template

Evidence 3: Both have a habbit of unnecessarily bolding things

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I have no relation whatsoever to those "Pollos". I could not even defend myself, until now, for a block on some IPs I may have used. Frankly I did not even think I was doing any puppetry when I wrote off-log. Those IPs are also used by, as I understand from the various edits, several other people whom I don't know. I may have made mistakes in the past in En:WP but if you look at my participation in Spanish or Turkish Wikipedias, you will see that I am only contributing to the development of the project. If you need my help, please do not hesitate to give me a ring. (I hope defending oneself in an SPI will not be considered "block evasion"; if so you may forget me.) Thanks for the patient reading and best wishes to all. --212.174.190.24 (talk) 15:34, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

E4024 is banned from all topics related to Turkey, Greece, and Armenia. The user has been recently blocked for sockpuppetry under multiple IP accounts (see 7 April 2014 report here). Recent edits by this user appears to be strikingly similar. An obvious WP:DUCK. Here's a few diffs:
 * Turkifying Armenian identity:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a User Name?:


 * Obsession to remove ethnicity per WP:OPENPARA:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a User Name?:


 * Similar edit-summaries:
 * 1) "CN":
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * 1) "Rm redundant...":
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * 1) "Grammar":
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * 1) "Was redundant.":
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * AfDs of Greek/Armenian articles per WP:IDONTLIKEIT:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * Persistent changing of English orthography to Turkish orthography:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * Obsession over having things placed in alphabetical order:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * Engages users who haven't signed their comments:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * Other tidbits:
 * 1) When it comes to one's Armenian identity, both accounts always ask: "Has s/he even been to Armenia?"
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * 1) Both accounts almost always use a period at the end of their edit-summaries:
 * See E4024 contribution's here.
 * See Why should I have a username? contribution's here.


 * 1) Both accounts are highly interested in Turkish women in sports (or any other profession for that matter):
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * 1) Drive-by removals of whole sentences per long-awaited CN tags:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:


 * 1) Deletion of warnings on talk-page:
 * E4024:
 * Why should I have a username?:

Étienne Dolet (talk) 07:59, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I feel compelled to clear things up for you. Please see the "Drive-by removals of whole sentences per long-awaited CN tags" section. It is entirely devoted to highlighting mass deletion of information in articles under the pretext of long-awaited CN tags ("fact tags"). And to your second point, though E4024 was a new user at the time, he was well-aware of Wikipedia procedure and policy. He, as is Why should I have a username?, was familiar with WP:OPENPARA, WP:NPOV, WP:OR, WP:WEASEL, AfDs, Speedy Deletions, SPIs, and etc. Furthermore, E4024 often threatened to have users blocked as well . With that said, I also feel that Why should I have a username? is further informed about AE policy since, under E4024, he learned it the hard way by receiving an indefinite AA2 ban and an eventual indefinite block. Such an experience will only help familiarize the user with those policies. Hence the reason why he is throwing around warnings so much. Meanwhile, don't forget that he garnered even more experience with the IP addresses he's been editing with for several months.


 * I'm quite puzzled as to how you failed to notice the incivility of Why should I have a username? For one, his threats are almost identical to the ones employed by E4024. See some examples here:
 * E4024: "A user is destroying WP with dishonest acts."
 * Why should I have a username?: "Thanks for trying to destroy Wikipedia."


 * E4024: "If I do not remove it that is because I do not want to look like I am edit fighting with a user very enthusiastic about some issues."
 * Why should I have a username?: "Typical POV qualifications from a certain enthusiast removed."


 * I pointed these two out because accusations such as "destroying" Wikipedia or calling others enthusiasts are very peculiar. I will add more later if need-be. Étienne Dolet (talk) 09:17, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Comments by other users
''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''
 * I agree with the assertion that the editing aims are strikingly similar - looking through the edit history of E4024 I was struck by how similar they were to edits and opinions made by Why should I have a User Name? There are many more examples that could be cited. For example, here E4024 complains about the use of the word "invasion" to describe Turkish actions, and here  Why should I have a User Name? also complains about the use of the word "invasion" to describe Turkish actions. Here  E4024 advocates using the pov word terrorist, and here Why should I have a User Name?'s edit summary uses the word terrorism . Here E4024 claims Cyprus was still Ottoman territory in WW1 1917 period  and here Why should I have a User Name? claims Baghdad and Iraq was still Ottoman Territory in the WW1 1918 period . (Both territories were actually firmly under British control by then - so to consider them still under Ottoman jurisdiction would mean an identical and rather peculiar pov). But that said, there are also major differences in their editing style. Why should I have a User Name? does a lot of deleting, using fact tags as a reason, E4024 does not seem to do this anything like as much. Why should I have a User Name? likes citing Wikipedia procedures or threatening other editors with Wikipedia sanctions to protect his edits, often using edit summaries as delivery notes for this. E4024 does not seem to do this. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

I have also seen the similarities between "Why should I ..." and E4024. I am, however, a bit doubtful about if they can be the same. Two reasons: Firstly E4024 used to be much more uncivil in their remarks. And secondly: E4024 seemed to have a grudge against IP editors (which I experienced in my IP period), so I find it strange that they should choose a user name like "Why should I have a user name?" I may be wrong, but my feeling is that they are just two related souls. --T*U (talk) 21:21, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have certainly noticed impoliteness also from the new(?) editor, but it is still far from the outbursts from E4024. However, it is possible that there has been a sequence of learning here, as the doctor suggests (below). I will not be very surprised if they are the same, but on the other hand, experience shows that lookalikes have a tendency to turn up wherever Balkan/Anatolia/Middle East issues and similar themes occur. It seems like an endless quest. Regards! --T*U (talk) 20:41, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I have checked the editor interaction utility and I have seen that their edits intersect in rather obscure articles such as Kemenche, Homshetsi dialect, Ivo Andrić and Crypto-Armenians. In addition they intersect in food articles to a large degree, right down to visiting the same Greek editor who is also a food expert. Also both visited  discussing problem IPs. My findings,  in addition to Etienne's, lead me to conclude that this is a case of WP:DUCK. I regret this is the case because I met this editor during the Giannis Poulopoulos AfD and I thought he had a sense of humour. For sure he is more mellow and agreeable than E4024, so he is learning. But he still uses edit-summaries, the same way as E4024 did, to attack his opponents, although not as badly as before. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  01:10, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Follow up Today he used the edit-summary field to imply that I am following him: Good to have followers, if one writes the edit summary in the wrong place... That's classic sarcasm of E4024, cf. E4024 telling an IP that he is being followed by the IP: (Following certain users: new section). Please note the same sarcasm:
 * Also using the abbreviation "TP" for "Talkpage" in edit-summaries: 6 occurrences of TP in 5,000 contributions of E4024 vs. 9 occurences of "TP" in 5,000 contributions of Why should I have a User Name?
 * "See TP please." in edit-summaries
 * E4024 edit-summary: "See TP please." vs. Why should I have a User Name? edit-summary: "See TP please."
 * I think despite the stale CU report this SPI should be decided on quacking grounds. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 23:27, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Suppressing Greek origins
 * Suppressing the Greek origins of Lefteris Papadopoulos's parents and calling it "more neutral language" in the edit-summary. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 22:34, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't accept injustice. I was decided not to get involved in this discussion but unjust accusations disturb, such as the one that I try to delete 'Greek and Armenian' articles in Wikipedia. This accusation is made on 15 September here, only a few days after I helped save an article about a Greek in Articles for Deletion and added a source to the article itself, on 11 September so that it could stay, although I understand not many users find the person so very notable. As for the Armenians one may look at my edits in Turkish American article about Daron Acemoğlu (I gave -as an example- only my edit on 7 September, much before this vaudeville). My only wish is please do not claim nationalist extremism on me. I took to AfD all the four members of a Korean girl group and three out of four got deleted but not even one Korean accused me of anything against the Koreans. I think if there is a nationalist around that is concerned only about certain nations. I PROD or AfD anybody whose article is undersourced and make no distinction about their nationalities or anything else. I am sure it is not difficult to make a list of my PRODs and AfDs to see if there is a pattern against any nation but that would not support the peculiar impression that is being tried to impose on me.
 * On the other hand, and not in my defence, but because I find it interesting, accusing people for putting a period at the end of sentences (I wish everybody does so, although when it's a question I use the question mark) or for saying 'Rm redundant' -just as many others here do- could even prove that I am a sockpocket of the user who accuses me or of the checkuser who will do something on this. Regards. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 15:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * You state, as if it were a good thing, "I PROD or AfD anybody whose article is undersourced". In the long run it will be bad editing attitudes like this, rather than allegations of sockpuppetry, that will get you banned. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 14:30, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Do you mean Why should I have etc. and the master, or is there some other unnamed puppet? You blocked Why twice; perhaps that was an error and you meant to block the master? Finally, the tag should be suspected, not confirmed, based on the CU discussion. I would have changed that on my own had I not noticed the other "problem". Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:26, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * To my knowledge, the only sock was Why should I, as the master should have been indeffed sometimes in the past, I think. Regarding the sock, I blocked him twice because I was using the spi helper thingy and it froze, so I clicked it again. I'm not really used to using the tool – which helps to explain why I may have used the wrong template... Note to self: in future, let the clerks deal with these things. Salvio Let's talk about it! 20:04, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Salvio. I believe I now have enough information to act. The master had been blocked for 6 months (expired in October). Based on these new events, I've blocked them indefinitely. I've also tagged both the master and Why should I as suspected.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:13, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

+ No such user because he was involved in the Cluj-Napoca war, reverting the same as Biruitorul. Biruitorul was pretending he is good, reverting after some minutes or hours the edits of the pretended "Hungarian" users which were anti-Romanian. In fact, the person behind Biruitorul is anarchist (communist). Biruitorul is his "good" user, he does this for image. BUT with the same user he is deleting several Romanian new articles. It's exactly what he did on Silvia Busuioc, same kind of communist dissimulation. (the banned user shortly after he commented pro-Biruitorul on that page, banned for other wars regarding Turkish and Armenians - anarchism, possibly a mental disorder)

 * Editor interaction utility

Biruitorul opened the deletion of the page Silvia Busuioc, then this user came to manipulate supporting Biruitorul. Biruitorul is just a sockpuppet of this user which was blocked shortly after. Why nobody observed that both Biruitorul and Why should I have a User Name? are users interested in Romanian and Slavic (Why should I have a User Name? is often also interested in Romanian and Slavic, like Biruitorul, not just Turkey and Armenia, I watched his full log)? The banned user also edited some Romanian articles were Biruitorul didn't show up such as Filiași but strangely Biruitorul edited all the towns of Romania. They are both Romanians if [Why should I have a User Name? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C8%98tefan_Petcu&action=history edited this article] knowing well the diacritics. Previously edited by Biruitorul, strangely. Biruitorul who doesn't edit many football articles. This means it was on his watchlist. Please don't ignore it, it's obviously another sockpuppet.

 * Digging just a little bit, I would agree that we certainly have a sockpuppet on this page. And I agree there is reason to believe that a CU should use the tools to sniff around, and would be justified in doing so, and that blocks are very possible from the doing.

Hello all. I don't know exactly what this is about. I even don't know what a "sockpuppets" is but i presume it is a means for ppl who can't stand contradiction to make some others shut up...

Anyway, i'm in France. Not very active on wikipedia. Read a lot, correct a few typos sometimes when i see them. My user page is here : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:LosPollosHermanos never took the time to create on on wikipedia EN (and i probably never will as i am mainly a FR user).

So, what are we talking about exaclty in here ?

What am i accused of ? What is E4024 accused of? By whom ? And why ?

Cheers. --LosPollosHermanos (talk) 10:23, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

has a history of sockpuppetry after his indefinite block from Wikipedia. As presented below, these recent edits by these IP's are strikingly similar to the master account and of previous socks. The edit patterns of the IP's are more similar to the Why should I have a User Name? SP account of E4024. The IP's are from the same city in the same country of all accounts. Nevertheless, I have included some diffs from previous SPA's. It's a very obvious case of WP:DUCK.


 * The master account had an obsession to Turkify the Armenian identities of various people . The previous SPI reports highlights the similarities between the master account and the SPA accounts. In fact, the IP's continue to Turkify the Armenian identities under the basis of citizenship in the same articles. Also, by benefiting from the use of an extensive IP range, the user is edit-warring much more:


 * Daron Acemoglu:
 * Why should I have a User Name?:
 * 24.133.170.71:


 * Turkish American (note: the edits at Turkish American mainly revolve around Daron Acemoglu as well):
 * Why should I have a User Name?:
 * 141.196.199.24:
 * 24.133.170.71:
 * 176.239.5.199:


 * It's also worthy to note that the IP's replace Acemoglu with the same people at the infobox of Turkish American:
 * Why should I have a User Name?:
 * 176.239.5.199:
 * 141.196.199.24:
 * 24.133.170.71:


 * Reinsertion of same wording in articles:
 * Why should I have a User Name?:
 * 141.196.200.254:
 * 176.239.81.82:
 * 24.133.170.71:

Checkuser comment: Just from looking at the ISPs here, I can tell that what I would see is three different UAs geolocating to the same region; in other words, nothing helpful. The "master" account is now stale and there is insufficient evidence that he had used any of these ISPs from past CUs. I'm not sure what to suggest here, but there's no reasonable prospect of making a technical link, and we do not normally link IPs to individual users, especially as all three of these IPs are part of dynamic ranges.

 * The listed IPs haven't made an edit for a few weeks, so blocking them individual won't serve a purpose. I've semi-protected Turkish-American, the article the IPs were all editing, as there appears to be an edit war occurring. Mike V • Talk 21:36, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

I've been dealing with the sock puppetry of this account for quite some time now. The different IP's pop up in article's that have been edited repeatedly by the master. In fact, the IP's and the master accounts edit in the same articles over the same reasons. I have included diffs from the account Why should I have a User Name? because it too was linked with the master E4024 account.

 * It's also worthy to note that the IP's replace Acemoglu with the same people at the infobox of Turkish American:
