 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by MuZemike

Attempt at disruptive editing and votestacking at Articles for deletion/Ignatz Lichtenstein (3rd nomination). Note that the suspected puppeteer's first contrib is the nomination of the article for AFD as shown. User has attempted to canvass other users for the AFD as shown on the editor's contrib history at Special:Contributions/Joseph3333. Then Jacob Cohen 1977 comes in to !vote for deletion, corrects while logged out , and then makes other corrections while logged back in , , , and. JewishTeen111 and ParisYid follow suit by making his/her only contrib to the AFD and, respectively. Then Texas Muslimah comes in and makes a !vote for deletion and then making two other minor corrections just as Jacob Cohen 1977 did  and. The comments behind all four registered users seem to be motivated in the same way, assuming WP:PERNOM (by JewishTeen111) is an agreement to that motivation. MuZemike 21:22, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

It seems evident that this is an experienced user in the wiki ways, if there has been similar activities and SPAs on Jewish-related articles it may be worth seeing if thos dots connect. -- Banj e b oi   02:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

This is from 2008, but I came across User:Testaccount3434 whilst sweeping for red-link cats and the names on the user page immediately piqued my curiosity. User:Java7837 is one of the main socks of User:Joseph3333 and Testaccount3434 edited that page here, followed by a similar edit to User:JavaChef here. Interestingly some of the edits are apparently using a "test bot" to add categories. I know it's stale but I figured that they might as well get a mention, and might help track down other unknown socks? Le Deluge (talk) 14:48, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I did look into it. Even if this is true, I don't think there is anything here that would lead us to unfound socks. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
