Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Krlzh/Archive

Evidence submitted by ThuranX
[] shows a NPA violation against a number of editors, all of whom, at various times, reverted edits by user:Krlzh on the Joker (comics) article regarding the move Batman Forever. Krlzh was blocked multiple times for NPA incidents related to that, then abandoned his account. Now, Paulita1292 comes to the page, making identical edits, and insulting the same people, even though they are clearly uninvolved with Paulita1292's edits, only Krlzh.

Just before the most recent block of, an IP had also been making the same edits:.

All three had similar grammatical styles when posting to talk pages, and the post by on Talk:Joker (comics) is clearly the same user as Krlzh by any view of the quack test. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:34, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

 * This passes the duck test, but blocking for sockpuppetry is not necessary. Krlzh was given a 1 week block in mid-September, and the account was abandoned. In October, Paulita1292 was created, but the two accounts never overlapped in contributions. Since it's neither sockpuppetry nor block evasion, so no action in this venue is necessary, even if Paulita is likely about to earn himself a block for disruption.

Conclusions

 * Suspected puppeteer is blocked. No overlap, we need more evidence.  ceran  thor 19:01, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Barek
The initial editor adding this material was Krlzh, which in synth/original-research and has strong consensus against being added to the Joker (comics) article see prior discussions at:
 * talk:Joker (comics)
 * Talk:Joker (comics)/Archive 3
 * Talk:Joker (comics)/Archive 3
 * User talk:Krlzh

The initial user was blocked in September over disruptive editing and personal attacks. In November, the accounts of Paulita1292, Harleytarantina, and 190.144.243.227 began adding the same material, as well as showing an interest in the same range of articles and using the same grammar styles as Krlzh. Paulita1292 was warned for NPA issue after this post, which listed all editors with which Krlzh had been fighting for inclusion of the content, not all of whom Paulita had been involved with to that point. Paulita1292 has also received a 3RR warning, but the other two continue to make the same edits - ignoring talk page consensus as well as ignoring warnings to their user talk pages.

– Behavioral evidence clearly indicates that all these accounts are operated by the same person. No CU necessary here. MuZemike 02:04, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Again, I am assuming the usage of throwaway/abandoned accounts, so I have reverse-tagged with Harleytarantina, the last account created, being the sockmaster for sake of this investigation. Krlzh and Paulita1292 have both been indefinitely blocked and tagged; Harleytarantina has been blocked 1 month for edit-warring and sock puppetry. The IPs may have been reassigned, so I'm leaving them unblocked. MuZemike 02:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
