Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( originally filed under this user)

All accounts have an interest in the persona of Tamaz Somkhishvili. I have strong suspicions about the promotion of the persona, undeclared payment and the use of socks. The author of the English-language page Tamaz Somkhishvili is User:JeILoenita, most of the contribution is Tamaz Somkhishvili's page. He published the page on March 28, 2023. The author of the Ukrainian-language page uk:Сомхішвілі Тамаз Валер'янович is another contributor, User:Kolburor, whose entire contribution is the Somkhishvili page. The author of the Russian-language page ru:Сомхишвили, Тамаз Валерианович is a third contributor, User:Baker Pumpkin, who published the page on March, 28 2023. The Russian-language page was removed due to lack of Notability. The text of the article was taken over by User:CesarNS1980 and on 23 April 2023 he restored the page bypassing the Requests for undeletion. After the Ukrainian moderators nominated the page for removal due to problems with the notability and verification of sources, User:Kolburor and User:CesarNS1980 left comments against the removal of the page. All three versions of Tamaz Somkhishvili's page note that he is a co-founder of Lukoil, although there is no confirmation of this and in all authoritative sources the only founder of Lukoil is Vagit Alekperov. So there is a Do not create hoaxes problem in the text. Also all three versions violate Neutral point of view and use unreliable sources, mainly the tabloid Ukrainian media. I ask the checkusers to deal with the situation. AlexanderVolkov123 (talk) 21:40, 24 April 2023 (UTC)


 * An undisclosed paid contributor (with 30 edits) is still trying to whitewash the page of their client (Tamaz Somkhishvili) and possibly tries any methods and ways to justify their honorarium. After long term war editing on the client’s page and numerous efforts to manipulate with sources and put advertisement, here we are. P.S. In Ukrainian Wikipedia the page on Tamaz was AfDed by the highly suspicious account with promotional contributions. So please don’t manipulate. 31.144.12.77 (talk) 06:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * And yes, please reply on your talk page to the notifications regarding UPE and COI on your talk page to continue editing the Wikipedia. The best way is to disclose your client and stop undermining the Wikipedia 31.144.12.77 (talk) 06:18, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Then you have nothing to fear and you will pass the test. You have nothing to fear, right? And please stop spamming me with an anonymous IP address in the discussion page. AlexanderVolkov123 (talk) 09:30, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

 * And the User:AlexanderVolkov123 was also blocked in the Ukrainian Wikipedia w:m:Special:CentralAuth/AlexanderVolkov123 as a sockpuppet of User:Mykytal. As a CU of the Russian Wikipedia I also confirm that he is a sockpuppet of User:Mykytal. -- Q-bit array (talk) 12:30, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

 * This is a duplicate of Sockpuppet investigations/Kolburor. Neither of these two are the oldest account reported, though. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:17, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Adding the accounts from Kolburor for convenience of processing. RoySmith (talk) 23:07, 7 July 2023 (UTC)


 * - NiftyyyNofteeeee, CesarNS1980, and JeILoenita all appear to be ❌. The others are all stale.  Please merge with Sockpuppet investigations/Kolburor; the oldest account is CesarNS1980, so that's probably where this should end up.  Once the merge is done, I'll leave things up to a clerk to figure out if there's a UPE issue here that merits action.  If not, then just close this. RoySmith (talk) 23:21, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merged. MarioGom (talk) 18:49, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Cross-wiki spam, see Tamaz Somkhishvili, Special:Undelete/Tamaz Somkhishvili, uk:Сомхішвілі Тамаз Валер'янович, ru:Сомхишвили, Тамаз Валерианович, ru:Сомхишвили, Тамаз, ru:Тамаз Сомхишвили. The remaining accounts appear to be similar in behavior and voted keep at Articles for deletion/Somkhishvili Tamaz. See also ru:Википедия:Проверка участников/CesarNS1980.

I think this might be Wikibusines but cannot prove it. There is almost certainly more spam than this. MER-C 17:06, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * The accounts that are not stale appear technically ❌. . Note that a duplicate report was made at Sockpuppet investigations/JeILoenita. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:06, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I haven't looked closely yet, but this should be compared to Sockpuppet investigations/Bigneeerman. MarioGom (talk) 21:33, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * given 's findings and that this has sat here for 3 months, I'm closing the case. But if they're spamming you're free to block them as spammers under WP:NOTSPAM. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:50, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
