A list of sock puppets that have appeared in order to irritate the Formula 1 Wikiproject by impersonating its members. The user names are chosen to resemble project members' user names and edits are made to articles or talk pages the impersonated user has edited as well. Here are some diffs of, , and 's edits. Darrandarra is not an impersonation account, but has. I have request CheckUser involvement because I suspect the actual sock master is none of the accounts mentioned in this report (yet) and I would like you to be able to identify the real one to prevent any further disruption.

 * The following account are ✅ to each other:

These three have been making the same sort of sarcastic and cynical comments at Talk:2018 FIA Formula One World Championship as the previous sock puppets have done on Formula One articles' talk pages. For instance and. I suspect that GeoJoe1000 might have been the actual sock master all along.Tvx1 00:20, 16 September 2017 (UTC) Tvx1 00:20, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Since the prior case involves impersonation, this is for confirmation between GeoJoe1000 and GeoJoe10000. Master is stale, and declined w/r/t IP. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:44, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * not disagreeing with your action at all, but it's not usually necessary to block sockpuppet accounts that haven't edited in five years. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 01:32, 30 September 2017 (UTC)


 * The two accounts are ✅ + . Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:02, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * GeoJoe3000 and GeoJoe5000 both have deleted edits from 2012. 3000 is most definitely another sock, but I'm less certain about 5000. Anyway with the CU confirmation I'm going to move the case and add the master's indef block to the new master account. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:42, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ - I'm in the process of updating tags on the older accounts but this can be considered closed. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

User has appeared today to make comments (e.g. and ) on the talk page of an user the sock master engaged with prior to being indefblocked. The language used is uncannily similar to language by another sock puppet named Darrandarra. Tvx1 01:18, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Update: the user has been indef blocked by .Tvx1 14:51, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Account already blocked. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 16:24, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * , shouldn't it be tagged as well?Tvx1 16:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * To tag it, I, a clerk, or an admin would have to make a finding. It's not worth it in these situations. Your allegations are recorded here.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:00, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Given GeoJoe's history of using multiple accounts at once, wouldn't it be worthwhile to check this for sleepers? Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:12, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Honestly? No. But I ran it anyway. GuyPerson01 is ✅ and tagged. No other accounts seen.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Apparent single-purpose account which emerged 5 days ago to harass. Behavior and writing style is very similar to this sock master shortly before they were blocked. They even edited sections the sock master was involved in Other sockpuppets have appeared before displaying similar behavior. Tvx1 18:53, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
