Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jaybjayb

Suspected sockpuppets
I blocked on Jul 14th for 72h for incivility and PA against, towards whom they were singularly focused in all their editing. The editor supposedly quit wikipedia in response but a day later the account was created and immediately targeted Joshua Jonathan. WP:DUCK but I'm not blocking since I've commented at one of the talkpages TipTap21 used. Abecedare (talk) 12:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC) Abecedare (talk) 12:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I was thinking the same. Joshua Jonathan -  Let's talk!  13:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC) Add User:Vedarishi sharma diff. Joshua Jonathan -  Let's talk!  14:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Joshua Jonathan Why? Doug Weller  talk 16:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * it was weird that a newbie pops-up at a discussion at a relatively obscure page, taking an outspoken stance against me. The tone was too 'outspoken', as if they were already 'at home' at Wikipedia. Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!  17:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, will look tomorrow. Doug Weller  talk 17:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * oh, the "Vedic Hinduism"! Because of the discussion about "ancient Hinduism" at Talk:Historical Vedic religion; too much coincidence for a newbie. Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!  17:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * As I’m not going to be on my PC until tomorrow and don’t use my iPad for anything tricky. it about 14 hours unless another CU picks it up. Doug Weller  talk 17:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

 * blocked the sock and master while I was in the process of filing this report. I've gone ahead and filed it anyway so that it there is a record of the conduct to refer to if new socks appear. Abecedare (talk) 12:55, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ amd blocked. Doug Weller  talk 13:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Note that this turns out to be an LTA. To quote from their talk page, " I usually have a very limited window to do my thing. I only come to Wikipedia to instigate change from time to time (success rate is quite high). But I am only an instigator, as I will almost always be targeted. It's up to you guys who understand what I am trying to do here, even when I am surrounded by hostile forces who would rather see me dead than just blocked.I have no idea how many articles I have improved just before getting blocked."

Both and  suspect the two named accounts may be related, despite the denial over at User talk:TuberGotTubed. The connection back to Jaybjayb is less immediately obvious to me, but there's the same relentless focus on the subject area. Yamla (talk) 19:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the check,. LordTerryTheTerrible and TuberGotTubed are DUCK with respect to each other, as the CU findings confirm. But, based on behavioral evidence alone, I would be somewhat surprised if they were related to Jaybjayb. Fwiw, I think it more likely that, mentioned above, is a sock of Jaybjayb and that they, along with TipTap21 are a distinct sock family. Abecedare (talk) 19:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

 * This connection is just short of confirmed (different devices). The CU evidence categorically refutes clear and unambiguous denial of any relationship between the two accounts. Still looking to see if these are connected to other named socks. --Yamla (talk) 19:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I can't directly tie these two accounts to the other accounts in this SPI. They may be related, but it's a noisy range. --Yamla (talk) 19:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
