Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/INDpedia/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Both accounts were created roughly at the same time (CHRpedia at 14:02, 12 February 2020, RoadEditor just one minute later) and have been involved in the unduly promotion of the "Global Elections History Society Center" (abbreviated by themselves as "GEHSC") personal blog, which seems to be edited by themselves. A previous version of this blog was added to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist because of the persistent attempts to spam it across Wikipedia articles by a number of IP users ("globeelectionshistory", it now seems to have rebranded itself into "globeelectionshistorysociety.wordpress").

Promotion of this blog seems to be the main activity of these two accounts (CHRpedia contribs, RoadEditor contribs), and they both use the same argument ("Restored Information Edited By Multiple People") when their blog is removed from the articles they attempt to spam it into (diff1, diff2), in what looks like an attempt to meatpuppet support for that website so that it looks like multiple users support its inclusion. Their interaction history also shows that they tend to edit the same articles within a very short timespan, and that their interaction consists on restoring the link to that blog (typically added by the other account) whenever it is removed by someone else. It seems like a fairly straightforward WP:DUCK case here.  Impru 20 talk 16:42, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
These two IP accounts started editing Opinion polling for the 2022 Brazilian presidential election by inserting the same "Globe Elections UN" links to the article as the other accounts did. This started as soon as the three accounts reported in the previous SPI were blocked, which suggests a WP:BLOCKEVASION issue right now, though the contribution history of these two suggest they have been used in coordination with the logged-in accounts for some time.

Both IP accounts have a similar editing behaviour as these accounts (diff1, diff2), seem to geolocate from the same place in SK and have strong interaction activities with the main sock account as well as the others, noting that their edits also focus on adding this "Globe Elections UN" blog on all involved pages (59.11.55.12 with INDpedia, CHRpedia and RoadEditor; 121.133.198.152 with INDpedia, CHRpedia and RoadEditor).
