Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JamesOredan

Suspected sockpuppets
I believe the following are socks of User:Venezia Friulano/User:JamesOredan.

1)User:Dreom was created as an immediate continuation of 80.102.210.145, just after the latter IP was blocked for being a sock of JamesOredan. You can see the two edit often the same pages (usually edited by Venezia/James). For example Magellan expedition, Voyages of Christopher Columbus, Genetic history of Italy, and Francis Xavier are pages edited by both Dreom and 80.102.210.145, and the edits have the same scope. One specific proof is that this edit by Dreom (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Francis_Xavier&diff=prev&oldid=1224313658&title=Francis_Xavier&diffonly=1) is essentially the same as this one done by 80.102.210.145 shortly before and reverted (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Francis_Xavier&diff=prev&oldid=1224143522).

2)92:191.197.200 is evidently Dreom, as he edited the Italians article at the same time Dreom did and the other articles he edited are also edited by Venezia/James/Dreom. He also  throws around the accusation of wp:peacock a lot, especially when it comes to articles related to Italian history and culture, and this is also typical of Venezia/James socks, who claim that articles on Italy, Britain, Portugal and the Muslims are "biased" (Venezia/James hates these four nationalities/groups and is chauvinistic about Spain). For example: the Italophilia page is said to have "peacock" by 80.102.210.145 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italophilia&diff=prev&oldid=1194538210), Dreom deletes British stuff saying it's peacock (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Royal_Navy&diff=prev&oldid=1232156805), the Italians page has "peacockry" for 92:191.197.200 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Italians&diff=prev&oldid=1233136935).

3)user:Discopleasant, his edit on the culture of Italy page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culture_of_Italy&diff=prev&oldid=1219654395), is same in scope to others made by Venezia Friulano in that same page that got reverted by me (see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culture_of_Italy&diff=prev&oldid=1165905929) and to points Venezia made relentlessly and obsessevely in multiple pages. He is reiterating this by reverting my IP here saying "it's peacock" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culture_of_Italy&diff=prev&oldid=1234585220). Altough I was not logged in, that is me, I told administrators that I am sometimes forced to edit this way, since Venezia/James literally stalks my account and also comes to personally insult me at my talk page (for which I had it blocked twice). Another thing these socks do is removing the word "Italy" or "Italian" from articles on history and/or replace it with other terminology; Venezia notably did this relenetlessly (see talk:Trajan or also the page culture of Italy). And you can see Discopleasant removed the word "Italy" here (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crossing_the_Rubicon&diff=prev&oldid=1232378325), here (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rubicon&diff=prev&oldid=1232377637), and "Italian" in his first edit after creation.(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Baldacci&diff=prev&oldid=1219439076).

4)User:LucenseLugo has been noticed to be a sock of User:Venezia Friulano for his usual disruptive agenda and aggressive language already by this user here (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Valencian_language&diff=prev&oldid=1181007908&title=Talk%3AValencian_language&diffonly=1) and by this other user here (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Spanish_Empire&diff=prev&oldid=1173297720&title=Talk%3ASpanish_Empire&diffonly=1). The latter has listed there the evidence needed. LucenseLugo is primarily used by JamesOredan/Venezia Friulano for linguistic chauvinism (changing Catalan names into Spanish names) and "against" Portugal (hence the fake Portuguese name, it's an habit of his to pretend being non-Spanish). Most recently he caused an edit war at the Languages of Spain page. Notice his typical accusation in a mirror to another user here (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Valencian_language&diff=prev&oldid=1181009849&title=Talk%3AValencian_language&diffonly=1).

If admins need some of the known IP ranges of Venezia Friuliano/James Oredan to make a check I can provide them. These IPs have been marked or partially rangeblocked multiple times and include 31.221.128., 37.29.151.29, 46.6.189.143, and 80.102.210.145 (plus I am reporting here 92:191.197.200 cause it's evidently Dreom). The problem is that he likely has others.

I have other socks and evidence, but for now I think it's good. Barjimoa (talk) 09:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * As I mentioned in your previous post in WP:ANI that’s already been closed, I’m not the sockpuppet to these accounts, not to mention that I never even edited half the articles you mentioned in your last post, and the articles that I have personally edited as well as the article I’m trying to create don’t seem to match those from the sockpuppet accounts you mentioned. And for the sake of authenticity I hope this sockpuppet investigation is 100% accurate (Discopleasant (talk) 15:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC))
