Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joshstovall/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
The overlap between these accounts has to do with Natural Flavors (band). Joshstovall mostly worked on a draft about the band in a sandbox, and then copied the article into article space on 27 April. That article was then tagged for G7. At that point Dededitor23 contested the speedy deletion nomination. If this isn't sockpuppetry, it is likely to be meatpuppetry or off-wiki coordination.

I am aware that Dededitor23 has also been reported as a sock of Bernard.wiki1 in connection with Yves Bayle. I haven't researched that concern further, but think that it indicates more reason for Checkuser. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:58, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

 * I've taken a look at this, and technically these two accounts appear ❌ - there is something odd going on with that draft, but the CU data doesn't look similar. However, I am going to go over and look at Sockpuppet investigations/Bernard.wiki1, which is looking a lot more likely...  Girth Summit  (blether)  18:32, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Dededitor23 has been blocked as a result of Sockpuppet investigations/Bernard.wiki1/Archive. It's possible that this was meatpuppetry, but since it's just this one instance, I'll AGF and let it slide for now. I do suspect that Joshstovall has a COI (which I see that they've already been warned about, so nothing to do there). Closing without further action. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:40, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
