Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kim Cardassian/Archive

Evidence submitted by JaGa
Similar editing behavior, but the kicker is this edit by User:Refudiate, a Kim Cardassian sock. The edit cleared out what was previously on the page. In this edit, we see the exact same behavior - the page is blanked with a welcome from User:Epaphroditus Ph. M.. Both Epaphroditus Ph. M. and Pewterschmidt Industries are Kim Cardassian socks. Also, Juno got involved with this discussion for a page created by User:Pewterschmidt Industries.  Ja Ga  talk 01:36, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * (More socks found) I also noticed that User:Data Cube had a similar edit to this discussion as Juno, and when I looked at that user's talk page, I found another page-blanking welcome here by User:Nikmat. Turns out that Nikmat is mentioned in ANI (via this link) as a sock of the Chris Dodd troll, also known as... Kim Cardassian. -- Ja Ga  talk 02:02, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm endorsing this for a CU to confirm if these are a match, but also because the chance of sleepers here is quite high. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:05, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Per Tnxman307's request, I took a second look. My results are as follows:

 * While I will note that one account overlaps the two groups, I would say they are only related (given that the IP adresses of the two groups geolocate to different locations, the user-agents are different, and some editing patterns do not quite match). That said, I do not necessarily contest Tnxman307's findings. I just want to note that CU does not quite support the "confirmed" requirements in this case.

 * What a mess. Based on overall behavior, I've blocked and tagged all the accounts. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:24, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know if some of these were mistagged and/or not tagged, but all are now tagged as possible socks as a CU can't confirm the direct link to the master. -- DQ  (t)  (e)  18:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
