Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gerryh7/Archive

Evidence submitted by 4twenty42o
I have been watching a few articles and I am positive that there are several socks going. They are adding copyrighted pictured to obscure rappers and hip hop artists. Now I really don't like getting involved in sockpuppetry cases and all the mess that follows. But at this point it is kind of getting out of hand. This is the history at the Immortal Technique article[]. This is the Atom Tha Immortal article, which was previously deleted under another name, []. The pic is from Myspace I think. This is an album article. [] The editor keeps adding copyrighted pics and deleting prods. This one is another dubious article that the aditor is active on []. I have attempted to discuss it with some of the various names and IP's involved but have not received any response of substance. User talk:Gerryh7, User talk:Gh7mysterio, User talk:Mark.reznar are a few of the recent names involved. All of them pop up around the 3rd or 4th revert and do a quick revert. Nearly all of the edits are to obscure rap articles and appear to be pushing some sort of agenda. I am positive that several more accounts are involved, I am not sure which however. - 4twenty42o (talk) 20:19, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

These are only a few of the socks I believe to be active. Another article, which was deleted Atom tha immortal had a lot of sock activity that I believe involving the accused. Perhaps checkuser is necessary but I think this is pretty clear cut - 4twenty42o (talk) 20:06, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Note the repeated addition of the same, deleted photograph by multiple users. Lady of  Shalott  20:26, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Gerryh7 was blocked November 21 for abusive sockpuppetry (Gh7mysterio and Mark.reznar, and the IP 99.151.120.90). The above accounts and IPs all edited within the same group of articles as the earlier accounts (including Atom Tha Immortal (created by Mark.reznar), Immortal Technique, Conspiracy Worldwide Radio, SouthPaw (producer), Beast1333 (and the AFD for that article, which almost all of the above !voted in), Canibus, Rebel Diaz, Diabolic (emcee), Son of Slaves and Lords (created by Gerryh7), Engineer (producer). Oddly formatted references added by 69.65.43.71, 209.51.149.2, AlexV0. Also note the earlier accounts were adding a lot of images to articles, as did many of these new ones.

 * Added user Rubylizet: new user re-created Beast1333 article 3 days after AFD closed. TheJazzDalek (talk) 23:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets


Blocked IPs since the last sockpuppet investigation

Evidence submitted by TheJazzDalek
Once again editing the same articles (Atom Tha Immortal, Son of Slaves and Lords, adding a link for Engineer (producer) to Canibus), and an AFD for one of those articles (Articles for deletion/Son of Slaves and Lords); and adding pictures with questionable copyrights. Request checkuser for sleeper and otherwise hidden accounts. TheJazzDalek (talk) 00:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

to check on sleepers. Otherwise, I'll be WP:DUCK-blocking the other accounts. –MuZemike 03:56, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

based on technical evidence. One of them is editing solely from a school IP near the other one. No comment on the IPs listed here, and there are no unblocked sleepers. J.delanoy gabs adds 23:15, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
