(1) Swingoswingo was banned on 15 December 2017, and XLPeeker99p9 account was created on 28 December 2017. (2) Mass tagging for better source needed, reliable source needed, additional source needed. For example, Swingoswingo 1, 2, 3. And XLPeeker99p9 here, here, here. And 182.58.110.197 here, for example. This is a very marked characteristic of the trio. Also note that Islam-related pages are the common target.

(3) Anti-Islamic nature: Swingoswingo was a self-declared anti-Islamic (see here) for which he was banned, and so is XLPeeker99p9, as I see. XLPeeker99p9 in one of his tags wrote ''used to deposit their valuable things with Muhammad or used to loot his and followers' belongings once they had fled? Please be consistent.-date=February 2018''.

(4) They try to delete verses of the Quran which are used as text. For example, Swingoswingo here and XLPeeker99p9 here, and 182.58.110.197 here

(5) Criticism-type content: They have the habit to add negative content regarding Islam. For example, Swingoswingo here and 182.76.16.118 here, 123.252.235.122 here. -AsceticRosé 17:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

1. Accounts just recently created. 2. Though User:יניב_הורון is only five-day old, it makes edits like an experienced user. 3. Restoring edits in page previously edited by Swingoswingo. 4. Talk-page interaction as here. -AsceticRosé 16:05, 4 March 2018 (UTC) 16:05, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

IP 190.139.82.182 first restored edit on 25 February 2018‎, then User:יניב_הורון restored it again on 3 March 2018‎. All these happened in History of slavery in the Muslim world, one of the pages edited by the sockmaster and the socks. I was more concerned about the IPs because in some instances, they were more active than the created accounts. In the page mentioned above, 182.58.45.148 first created a new section and started adding controversial materials, then User:XLPeeker99p9 started adding materials in the same fashion 1, 2. -AsceticRosé 01:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

In Justice in the Quran, User:C X Moetahnktov deleted text here, here, here, here, for example. Now, IP 182.58.121.177 is doing the same thing: here, here, here. -AsceticRosé 15:52, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

And where's the evidence for 182.70 IP? That's not him. Both are different ISPs. Capitals00 (talk) 05:10, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Not worth it to tell you since you can't even understand that the IP (located in Mumbai not in Delhi like Swingo) was there only for removing your absurd claims about Ghar Wapsi, not for restoring Swingoswingo. That's how he is unrelated to Swingo, hence you are not exempted from 3RR by reverting the IP. That was the actual point. His edits have nothing similar with Swingo, though he mostly opposed Swingo's edits. Capitals00 (talk) 04:50, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Checkusers will not comment on IPs so other editors/admins can do that. Not speaking of these IPs but as a generality, being different ISPs doesn't mean much if they are in the same area as using multiple providers is common. The IPs in this case will need behavioral analysis.

 * Convincing evidence. Please block A7howto. Sro23 (talk) 05:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Done. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:03, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I've moved back to checked status so we can get the case moved to the oldest account, Hometech (2009 account) unless there is a reason to keep it here?
 * Done. Closing.

Paulus, a new user, reinserted information that another previously identified sockpuppet of Hometech, i.e. User:Mon reve ce soir, had been previously reinserting. See 1 and 2. This was done without explanation approximately 2 weeks after the most recent removal of this information. Based on the findings of previous requests, it is likely that there are many other accounts currently in use. Buddytula (talk) 18:34, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

This user Buddytula himself is a sockpuppet. Just look at his expert contributions. Not a newbie. Paulus6.179furlongs (talk) 18:44, 5 September 2018 (UTC)


 * [response to Bbb23] I find it odd that you would even comment on my account given WP:VALIDALT and that there is no indication that I am violating any policies. Buddytula (talk) 21:00, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

✅, blocked and tagged. I agree with the sock that Buddytula is a sock, but I don't know who the master is. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:14, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Compare this addition from a previously blocked sockpuppet and Lentschief's first edit. Based on the findings of previous sockpuppet investigations, it's likely that there are many other sockpuppets who have edited pages that I am not monitoring. Buddytula (talk) 19:52, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Buddytula is a likely sockpuppet of AsceticRose. It is clear from their edits that both are taqiya editors. It's time Wikipedia woke up to taqiya and took some serious action about it. I hope everyone is aware of the case of User:Jagged 85. His community (I mean, the religion of peace) is no different; Buddytula and AsceticRose are of the same breed. The admin had also agreed that Buddytula is a sock but he could not identify the master. Please see this page's history for that. Lenstchief (talk) 20:02, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Compare the above comment to another established sockpuppet's comment. Buddytula (talk) 20:12, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

One more evidence of Buddytula and AsceticRose. Both edit rarely in the recent time. Lenstchief (talk) 20:06, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * AsceticRose is an editor who seems to have left in good standing. Assuming you are correct, my account would not be a violation of Wikipedia policies on sockpuppetry. Also assuming you're correct, I must doing a terrible job of hiding my identity given my additions to this very page and pages like this. Buddytula (talk) 20:12, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You must be doing a terrible job at hiding blah blah? This is a typical criminal's excuse to which all cops are used to. Your and his primary purpose of being on wiki is the same: taqiya and stifling the truth about the biggest criminal in history, with the use of every possible wiki policy as an excuse. Admit that. Lenstchief (talk) 20:24, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I admit it. I conspire with a secretive group of Muslims to engage in takiya and "wiki-jihad". You caught me. Buddytula (talk) 20:41, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * You dont need to be in a well-defined group to do what you are doing. Your flimsy ideas of brotherhood are enough to bring people like you together in their cause. Now come to Islamophobia. This very word is a wrong term. phobia means irrational fear of something, but there is nothing irrational about an ideology that seeks to kill or economically exploit everyone who does not convert to its fold. An ideology that suppresses and treats women like pets, opposes human rights and even animal rights. An ideology that backs never-ending war and deception to establish its own totalitarian order. An ideology that treats killing and martyrdom as an act of piety. An ideology that is obviously anti-democratic anti-freedom of expression and anti-gay - that was for all the darlings of democracy, freedom of expression, and gays. There is no difference between Islam and Nazism, but you continue your taqiya as long as the rules allow here. After death if by chance you still exist, you will regret of what a silly thing you clinged to all your life. Yet you will certainly not get those 72 virgins, please remember that; your darling prophet lied. On the contrary, your community on earth will continue to become the laughing stock of the smarter humanity. Lenstchief (talk) 20:54, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * These types of rants would be very welcome at WikiIslam. Consider contributing there. Otherwise, you may want to read building an encyclopedia. Buddytula (talk) 20:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Can't defend the argument so change the topic eh? Been there heard that. Lenstchief (talk) 21:00, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia isn't the place for advocating or defending. WP:SOAPBOX Buddytula (talk) 21:05, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
