Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Interfase/Archive

Evidence submitted by MarshallBagramyan
I think I will limit my evidence to a single article, that of Amaras Monastery, which alone shows the need for a CU. Interfase replaced Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan, starting a drawn out revert war: , ,, , , , , , ,.

Recently, for his continuous revert warring, Interfase was placed under ArbCom restriction ; he later stopped contributing. Instead, a new editor, Quzeyli, and an IP (who was blocked for 24 for vandalism) on the same range appeared out of the blue to revert to the same position on which Interfase was edit warring on. See the following examples: ,, , , , , , , , , ,.

The reason why I am including Raynec (now an indefinitely blocked user), is because his sock Rayneci also jumped in the same article out of nowhere to revert him (see here and here). Note that a lot more evidence on other articles can be provided to justify a CU on all those accounts and I will provide them if requested.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 01:49, 18 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Can someone in the meantime please block him for going over the 3 revert rule?--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 23:28, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

This one should be looked into in conjunction with Sockpuppet investigations/Hetoum I. It appears that Quzeyli reverted for the most part the socks of a banned user. The account of has already been indef blocked for the racist user name. Grand master  07:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Your comments almost sound as if you know a positive link will be established with Interfase and the other accounts; your description is otherwise highly inaccurate. Those socks have reverted established users like Sardur, Serouj and myself if I have not forgotten the names of any other editors. The socks alleged to be Hetoum appeared just after that.


 * Also, most of the socking from someone opposite to your positions on Wikipedia was attributed to Hetoum - I don't know what is worse, that, or the fact that the socks supporting your position happen to be many different persons appearing out of nowhere. I am stating all this as an answer to your accusations of an off-wiki coordination, since many editors jumping out of nowhere is more evidence of such a coordination than one editor using multiple accounts.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 16:33, 18 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Please mind WP:AGF. I never said anything in my very short posting here about off-wiki coordination. If the CU reveals any connection between Quzeyli and other accounts, obviously admins will take necessary measures. I just note that many of his rvs were on the edits of banned users, and Hetoum is not the only mass puppeteer pushing the same POV. I just don't want to continue an off-topic discussion here.

 * Well, you have made the coordination accusation more than once, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that I am fed up by the socking. Instead of bringing that up, you have answered as if you were justifying some of it. The fact is that those socks did not pop-up to revert other socks, but different, established users. I was merely highlighting that your description was inaccurate, if not irrelevant.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 06:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Interfase (who, per arbitration, is restricted to 1RR and topic banned from Azerbaijan-topics) has removed a large amount of material from the Church of Kish page (which is in Azerbaijan, btw, not really sure why he's there if he's topic-banned from Azerbaijan ), and is immediately followed by this IP and this one, both locating to the exact same spot in Azerbaijan, (first, second). The IPs direct other editors to Interfase's talk page comments (instead of making their own), and repeat the same vague arguments about the author being biased (without ever explaining how).

Interfase has a long history of disruptive editing, and I strongly support this effort. I also added Serialjoepsycho, who made edits supporting Interfase, mirroring his style. Hablabar (talk) 18:15, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

I made only one edit in this article. This one. Who are these IP addresses I don't know. And I'm not topic-banned from Azerbaijan. Topic ban was vacated. --Interfase (talk) 06:10, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
