Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Juanacho/Archive

- All of the accounts listed above have the same editing patterns as Juanacho. I just couldn't help notice the similarities between Soulyaboy and Juancho's edits. Acts of vandalism have been done by both accounts especially on the Vanessa Hudgens articles. It seems Soulyaboy and Juanacho both have the same interests and what I am very surprised by is how they both edit Chilean pop song articles such as Eres La Luz, Seré (which was created by Juancha) and Morir de Amor (song), Juanacho made fairly big contributions to each of these articles. Juanacho stopped editing on Wikipedia on 2 April 2009 and this is when Soulyaboy started editing frequently on Juanacho's favourite pages which include Guilty Pleasure (album) and Tisdale's Headstrong singles. Later on in the last days of March 2009, in an attempt to improve other articles on Wikipedia Juanacho started editing The Hills cast's articles. It is fascinating how Juanacho, Decodet and Soulyaboy both have the same interests, edit the same way, have the same perspective on image sizing, and the timing of the creation of the new account, Soulyaboy is also questioning. It becomes more obvious, Juanacho and Soulyaboy are linked, especially when looking at their edit summaries and history pages. The edits are very similar. Evidence to support my claims: Juanacho's history page and Soulyaboy's history page. When I told Soulyaboy, I think he is a sock puppet the response was "get a life". Decodet, Sorownow, MSoldi, Voice4ever and Cro0114 have the same editing patterns and have the same vocabulary. They also seem to have the same interests. Although Decodet may not be linked to Juanacho, but I think a checkuser should be done on all of the accounts above.--- Olivewildes (talk) 18:08, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I can understand the accusations of sockpuppeting here. There are several linked reports: there's WP:Requests for checkuser/Case/MSoldi and Requests for checkuser/Case/HanniMontLol. I even accused Olivewildes of being a sock of FortyFootEcho, and she was exonerated. There may well be a link between Soulyaboy and Juanacho, and both editors certainly are difficult to get along with. Decodet is enough better behaved that I doubt a linkage. What I suspect a checkuser will expose is that these accounts all belong to Brazilian fans of the Disney Channel. Being Disney Channel fans, they are are probably younger than the average Wikipedia editor. From experience editing in the area, I've found that Brazilian children have some trouble blending in because of a mixture of maturity problems and language problems, and those problems tend to make them all look the same to others. There's barely enough cause here to run a checkuser, but a reasonable editor could also view this as a fishing expedition.&mdash;Kww(talk) 21:21, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Olivewildes, can you supply evidence in the form of diffs that demonstrates a likely connection between the accounts you've listed? Avruch  T 22:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It's possible the accounts are connected, but in order to endorse a CU check you need to demonstrate both a probable link between the accounts and that, assuming a link, the WP:SOCK policy was violated. Both require evidence, and what has been provided above is not sufficient. Avruch  T 22:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
