Suspected sockpuppets
(NOTE: ONLY CHECK THE ACCOUNTS, NOT THE IP)

IP and 2 accounts are all creating similar potty humor vandalism drafts. Bernard V5-XL 559 created Draft:Auto_sodo-chiasse, which got deleted as vandalism. The IP also created Draft:Ultra Sodo-chiasse with similar title and potty humor content which got deleted as vandalism. Henri Xavier Lenain 658 created Draft:Sodomy, diarrhea, sunbathing which also contains similar vandalism. I have a feeling that based on the usernames and some of the account registrations in frwiki, it can potentially be WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Gsthae with tempo! but I think it is also plausable this is a different sockfarm because the IP geolocates to Japan and Gsthae sock IPs are usually geolocates to France. Either way, requesting CU to sniff out sleepers and to identify which sockmaster this case belongs to. — Prodraxis {talk • contribs} (she/her) 00:32, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

 * They're all on proxies, so I don't put much faith in the geolocations. I've blocked them for vandalism, closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  08:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

See creations of each — repeated creation of the same pure-vandalism draft. Unsure if there's another sock that I'm missing, or if this is the work of an existing sockpuppeteer. Listing IPs for the sake of completeness. I think these are all clearly connected on the basis of behavioural evidence; requesting CU to see if there are any more that I missed or any sleepers.

Looks like Sockpuppet_investigations/Bernard_V5-XL_559 to me. — Prodraxis {talk • contribs} (she/her) 04:30, 5 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @Spicy @RoySmith To be honest I also thought this was Gsthae with tempo! as well, but it seems like Gsthae with tempo! doesn't uses proxies like Bernard V5-XL 559. Gsthae sock IPs have always constantly geolocated to France, but Bernard's socks apparently use proxies according to what Girth Summit said. — Prodraxis {talk • contribs} (she/her) 01:36, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

 * - Yes, this is Bernard V5-XL 559, please merge the cases (it looks like this is the older one).
 * I can't quite get to confirmed, so blocking all of these as proven.
 * RoySmith (talk) 15:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * , is this not actually WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Gsthae with tempo!? Spicy (talk) 16:30, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look to be from the CU data. RoySmith (talk) 18:27, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, I'm not really convinced that there are two different people who speak French and create similar nonsense drafts, but I guess it's possible that someone is playing copycat. For now, I've merged WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Bernard V5-XL 559 into this case, as Haut-Bwah 558 is older. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 06:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * From a practical point of view, erring on the side of keeping the cases distinct is a good thing. If it later turns out they actually are the same, it's easy to merge at any time in the future.  If we merge now and that turns out to be incorrect, teasing the two cases apart is much more difficult. RoySmith (talk) 14:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
