Joanna Gunadi and Jenna Malkovich have 80 articles where their contributions overlap. There is little doubt that they are the same user. Joanna was blocked by for copyright violations, and Jenna was blocked by the same admin as a sock; Jenna's account was created before Joanna was blocked. has opened a CCI for Joanna.

Diffs:
 * 139.192.40.108 part of the copyvio template at Audi Marissa, created by Joanna Gunadi
 * one minute later, Jenna the rest of it


 * Jenna to Cita Citata material removed as copyvio, previously added by Joanna; she did the same at Haji Backpacker, but the diffs have been revdeleted so I can't provide them.

Check user is requested to locate any other sleeper accounts that need to be added to the CCI. There seem to be a lot of IPs involved too, but I assume it's no good asking for those to be checked. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' There appear to be several IPs in the same range making similar edits. I haven't undertaken anything systematic, but in reviewing for copyvios, noticed these two (which are pretty stale now BTW): Special:Contributions/139.195.169.225; Special:Contributions/139.192.40.92.

I can't see a linked talk page to show the original creator of Koala Kumal (film), which Willy2000 was blocked for repeatedly recreating, but I'm willing to bet it was a blocked sock of this puppeteer.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Please add to the investigation. Considerable overlap with the master. Also, if possible, please include the creator of Audi Marissa (second creation) and Aurel Hermansyah – I don't have the powers that would allow me to see who that was. The first version of Audi Marissa was created by the master, deleted by Moonriddengirl. This is apparently very widespread socking/block evasion; a possible example is the by 139.192.19.20 in this article created by the master of material removed by. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * the creator of those two articles was User:Terry Shelton. I tagged both for G5 deletion today: please see WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Terry Shelton for more info, as it hasn't been merged here yet. Wikishovel (talk) 20:52, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

 * I looked at both of these accounts as part of my previous investigation but found insufficient evidence to justify sock blocks based on behavior alone. Requesting CU to compare the above two accounts to the recent sock . I haven't examined the IPs yet, but chances are most will be stale. ~ Rob 13 Talk 19:18, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Willy2000 and Naurabubbletea are ❌ to each other and to Terry Shelton. Terry Shelton is  to the master.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:54, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * With the unrelated CU result, I don't find enough behavioral evidence to block either named account. There are some coincidences on topic area similarities and overlap, but my gut and some substantial behavioral differences are telling me that these are different people. In particular, Willy2000 has much broader participation than the narrow topic area of the master. As for the IPs, many are probably the master, but they're all stale (no activity since early December). Please only report IPs that have been active in the past week or so or an IP range if its been consistently active over a considerable period of time (several weeks) with IPs rapidly changing within the range. I did block one recently active IP for block evasion during my earlier investigation. ~ Rob 13 Talk 00:14, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

IP 111.94.115.22 removed the AfD template twice from Hi5teria. The same IP linked to a variant spelling of the film in Imelda Therinne, and Tara Basro. Some minutes later, Puppeteer User:Terry Shelton created the new target of that link change, the duplicate article Histeria (Indonesian film). IP 111.94.115.22 had already edited both Hi5teria and the two actor articles, so it's impossible that the editor(s) involved that didn't know this article already existed. This is an evident attempt to fork the article and evade the AFD. After three warnings for removing the db-a10 tag from Histeria (Indonesian film), IP editor posted at Talk:Histeria (Indonesian film): "This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because this is truth wikipedia and not making lie to people in the world" Wikishovel (talk) 17:07, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Also worth noting that I warned the puppeteer about editing while logged out, prior to further sock edits by the IP: , etc. An hour after the warning, sock's only response was to blank the talk page . Wikishovel (talk) 19:32, 27 October 2016 (UTC)


 * per your comments below, I've gone through Terry Shelton's contributions. What a mighty pile of shite, but it's now all either deleted or tagged G5. I've added a few more probable socks to the Joanna Gunadi SPI. Nice work on the editing behaviour investigations! And now, I'm going to go have a little lie down. :-) Happy New Year!

 * The IP is well stale at this point, but I'm blocking indefinitely as a sock of . The IP's contributions are almost exclusively related to articles created be either Terry or Joanna, which caused me to look into more direct connections between the two. Terry and Joanna have similar style of usernames (first and last names). Their topic areas are identical. They both create substantial amounts of content in the form of new articles in highly similar topic areas, and they create generally complete articles. Please note that it appears this latest Joanna sock is being used almost exclusively for page creations, with additional edits conducted via several IPs in order to evade scrutiny. They appear to operate exclusively on the 111.94.0.0/16 range. I haven't put any effort into narrowing that range down further, but it may be considerably more narrow than that.  Please merge this case with Sockpuppet investigations/Joanna Gunadi. ~ Rob 13 Talk 09:39, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * As additional evidence, Audi Marissa and Tarra Budiman were both created originally by Joanna, deleted, and then re-created by Terry. I'm not going through them now, but the article creations of Terry should be gone through comprehensively and nominated for WP:G5 as appropriate.

After 2 years of complete inactivity, account suddenly awakens today and quickly recreates a whole batch of articles deleted yesterday G5: 16th Annual Panasonic Gobel Awards (deleted twice today G3 and G2), 17th Annual Panasonic Gobel Awards (deleted twice today G3 and G2), 19th Annual Anugerah Musik Indonesia (deleted A1/G2), 2016 Dahsyatnya Awards (deleted A1/G2), Repvblik, and RAN (Indonesian group). Wikishovel (talk) 08:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Correction about the article RAN (Indonesian group) mentioned above: one of Mappase's first edits today wasn't to recreate it, but rather to replace the existing article created by User:Terry Shelton, along with the G5 tag, with an empty article consisting only of the flag of Luxembourg: This was then speedied by another editor, and then completely rewritten as a good new article, with new references by a third editor. At this point it obviously can't be speedied G5 anymore, but the behaviour by Mappase is still of interest here. Wikishovel (talk) 15:50, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

 * I found Terry Shelton to be likely to the master, so it makes sense to block the account. I found Willy2000 to be unrelated. I didn't say there wasn't a connection. If there hadn't been some behavioral evidence in the first instance, I wouldn't have checked. That said, to override an unrelated finding, there has to be very strong behavioral evidence. It's not the same quantum of evidence needed without such a finding.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

It's pretty hard to imagine a circumstance under which a innocent novitiate would, upon their arrival at Wikipedia, zero in on a lengthy series of G5'd articles and recreate them seriatim. Obviously a sock. The editor should be blocked, the pages deleted (again) and the pages salted. JohnInDC (talk) 21:37, 5 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Probably worth noting that I tagged several of User:Teddy Bear's new articles for deletion and in the last 15 minutes they have deleted the CSD tags. Chrissymad  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Adding User:Omri rt. Only edits by this user so far are at Draft:Tamar Rachum, on which he/she has been almost the sole editor, but in this edit at User:Sphilbrick's talk page, blocked sock account Nasriya requests restoration of the draft article, which the day before had the db-g13 tag removed by Sphilbrick, immediately following similar request by Omri rt in this edit. It's possible that the blocked sock simply copied and pasted another editor's request and forgot to change the article title, so a CU might shed some light. Wikishovel (talk) 13:28, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Omri rt's Talk page here reflects copyvio concerns about the draft article that was just restored. The original socks here were notable for their extensive copyvios, lending further behavioral support to the likely sock puppetry here.  JohnInDC (talk) 14:15, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

I came across this user at WP:REFUND, where they're making a ton of requests - all for pages that were created by, a sock of Joanna Gunadi. It seems a little suspicious that they're asking for these pages, given that they've all be G5'd. They've also made edits to European sports pages, which seems to be something that the Gunadi socks like to do. It just seems unlikely that they would sign up and, after making only a few edits, make a ton of requests for G5'd articles. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:19, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

This one's pretty obvious. There's no "coincidence" that can explain this. JohnInDC (talk) 19:36, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

I'd recommend a cursory sweep for any sleepers, but I'm going to go ahead and block this user since they're quacking quite loudly.

This user came to notice after they made this request at DRV, claiming that several speedy deletions were improperly done. A look at the deleted pages (Catatan Akhir Sekolah, 2016 Dahsyatnya Awards, The Voice Kids Indonesia, Emak Ingin Naik Haji, ILY from 38,000 FT) shows that they were all created by known Gunadi socks and all after the main account was blocked, so they were all valid deletions. (I myself deleted one of them!) They seem to have a fairly good awareness of Wikipedia policy despite being a very new user and a look at their edits shows that they have edited at least one of the same articles that Willy2000 did, List of cigarette brands.

I'm going to block them, but I would recommend doing a sweep for any sleeper accounts just to make sure. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

First immediate contribution is to appeal a deletion of Adhitia Sofyan which has been G5'd twice now and none of it suggests anything else, certainly not that such a seemingly new user comes back to a repeatedly deleted article, and, next, starts new article links.

Andranik Mkhitaryan is a relatively new account who has appeared on WP:REFUND to request undeletion of a number of articles written by socks of Joanna Gunadi. Also created a DRV record Deletion review/Log/2017 April 18 contesting the deletion of articles by the same sockpuppet. The focus on these articles suggests a possible connection. Also, the editor has made several contributions to Euro sports pages, which seems to be a characteristic of these socks. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:39, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

This editor inserted an unusual, harmless-seeming edit at Fix You but when I was reverting it, I noticed User talk:JohnInDC had previously reverted someone else with a summary reading "per WP:DENY." That person was User talk:Andranik Mkhitaryan, a confirmed sock of User:Mappase, who is in turn a suspected sock of Joanna Gunadi.

One of the first things this user does is request creation of subjects previous socks of the master also requested, i.e. Ildikó Zelinka, which previously requested before that sock's block. Requesting CU for sleepers. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk &bull;&#32;contribs) 14:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Recreated Armada (Indonesian band), Armand Maulana, Payung Teduh, GAC (Indonesian group) (previously Gamaliel Audrey Cantika favorites of JG socks + username similarity. Crossover here too. This may be worth a quick sweep as well since it appears several throw away accounts edited along side James or moved it into main space.

tl;dr I can barely find anything that doesn't overlap with this master/socks. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  13:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Though the naming pattern is quite a bit different these appear to be a set of throw away accounts that have popped up in what I can only imagine is an attempt to avoid G5 deletions (ie. substantial edits by other editors) as soon after the last sock created several articles, these accounts pop up and add a significant amount of content and only seem to follow the JG socks around.


 * , 112.215.175.100, 203.78.119.146, 203.78.119.214 all pop up to edit GAC (Indonesian group) immediately following James' creation. Their only edits are to JG creations.
 * and show up together following JS' creation of Virgoun along with 111.94.7.6.


 * shows up to Payung Teduh with 112.215.245.137 just after JS' and past JG socks' creations. Only edits are primarily to JS' articles.


 * and appear to be throwaway accounts that show up to Armada (Indonesian band) just after creation and only have edits to this article.

And this list of ips all crossover in the same manner as I point out above: 203.78.119.146, 112.215.174.89, 112.215.175.18, 112.215.175.182, 203.78.119.32, 112.215.174.199, 139.0.151.190. All of these IPs geolocate to the same place and provider (except one.)

I realize the IPs can't be connected and there's a possibility the named accounts aren't direct JG socks but it's fairly obvious that this is a massive case of at least meat puppetry. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  14:55, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
