This year the article Olavo de Carvalho has seen a large number of edits which attempt to disparage the subject or to delete the article altogether. Most of the edits are coming from anonymous IP accounts and a couple other registered accounts which have very few or no edits unrelated to Carvalho. Some of the edits are also from User:Cerme. This raises suspicion that Cerme is resuming the Carvalho-related sockpuppetry and edit-warring he was blocked for a few years ago. Even if Cerme is not involved in the sockpuppetry, some or all of the other accounts probably are.

Here is the behavioural evidence from 2015 linking the accounts:
 * Attempts to delete, or justify deletion of, the article, often using nearly identical wording:
 * By Cerme:
 * By LeandroTelesRocha1983:
 * By the IP accounts:
 * Repeated insertion of poorly sourced or unsourced claims about Carvalho being a covert Muslim or having ties to terrorist Islamist organizations:
 * By LeandroTelesRocha1983:
 * By the IP accounts:
 * Repeated insertion of poorly sourced or unsourced claims that Carvalho is an astrologer, or repeated removal of claims that he is a philosopher:
 * By LeandroTelesRocha1983:
 * By the IP accounts:
 * Blanking:
 * By LeandroTelesRocha1983:
 * By the IP accounts:
 * Insertion of unsourced claims that Carvalho is homophobic:
 * By LeandroTelesRocha1983:
 * By Pcamargo:
 * By the IP accounts:

I'm marking this case for CU attention as suggested by User:Diannaa, who has since cleaned the article of BLP violations, semi-protected it, and blocked User:LeandroTelesRocha1983. Also pinging User:HelloAnnyong who handled the previous SPI. Psychonaut (talk) 19:32, 27 February 2015 (UTC)


 * User:Mailer diablo, what about User:Cerme? That account cannot have gone stale as it was editing a few days ago. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:02, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

These two single-purpose accounts are engaging in similar behaviour as User:LeandroTelesRocha1983 and the IP accounts reported previously. They've created a new article Ronald Levinsohn which seems to be a poorly sourced coatrack for attacking Olavo de Carvalho. Astrolavo is active on the German Wikipedia, where he's blanked de:Olavo de Carvalho just like the previous suspected sockpuppets have been doing here. Astrolavo is already blocked on the German and Portuguese Wikipedias.

(I suppose User:Cerme isn't involved, but I wasn't sure where else to put this report, since it relates to confirmed and suspected sockpuppets from a prior report which hasn't yet been split off onto its own case page.) Psychonaut (talk) 16:01, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Vanjagenije, your parenthetical remark ("should be re-tagged is LeandroTelesRocha1983 is proven a sock of Cerme") doesn't make sense. Typing error for "should be re-tagged as LeandroTelesRocha1983 is not proven a sock of Cerme" perhaps?  Or has someone since established a connection between these two accounts? —Psychonaut (talk) 12:33, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I don't know about Cerme, who I have never seen on Portuguese Wikipedia. However other accounts are socks of LeandroTelesRocha1983, recently seen violating biography of living people's policies.—Teles « Talk to me ˱ M @ C S ˲» 00:17, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Account is blocked and tagged (should be re-tagged is LeandroTelesRocha1983 is proven a sock of Cerme). IP is blocked. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  12:07, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Consider renaming or separate this case file to reflect correct sockmaster. - Mailer Diablo 08:29, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It should have been "should be re-tagged if LeandroTelesRocha1983 is proven a sock". Who is the correct master?  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:39, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Obvious sock of User:LeandroTelesRocha1983. Just recreated User:Astrolavo's article Ronald Levinsohn in pretty much exactly the same form. Psychonaut (talk) 21:55, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

I have blocked Eliete Linda Rodrigues as a sock of LeandroTelesRocha1983. In addition, the account has been globally locked by User:Teles. This case needs to be split, as User:Astrolavo, User:Eliete Linda Rodrigues, and User:Fantasma Anônimo are socks of LeandroTelesRocha1983, not Cerme. Thanks, -- Diannaa (talk) 15:39, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Are we sure that LeandroTelesRocha1983 is not connected to Cerme? CheckUser showed no connection, but that does not mean that they cannot be related. What do you think?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:40, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Not 100% sure of course. But behaviourally they are not very similar. Cerme edits on a variety of topics such as politics of the Roman Empire and Brazil, and has no edits on the Portuguese wiki. LeandroTelesRocha1983 and the known socks edit solely to discredit Olavo de Carvalho. Cerme has a solid command of the English language, while LeandroTelesRocha1983 uses broken English . -- Diannaa (talk) 17:07, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Admin is needed to split last three cases to Sockpuppet investigations/LeandroTelesRocha1983 keeping the page history.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:08, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * it is moved. Closing now.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  18:21, 16 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Cases histsplit to, which has been reblocked + tagged as confirmed master.
 * Socks : as CU-confirmed,  &  as proven (I can't find direct CU confirmation)
 * (initially suspected master) is (both CU & behavioural).
 * is unrelated
 * A few already by, I haven't blocked more at this present time. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  18:25, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

 * This report, as you filled it, was totally miss-formatted. It was not even signed. The biggest problem is that it did not include the SPI case status template, so it was not included in the main WP:SPI list. I fixed that. Next time you want to open a SPI report, please go to WP:SPI and follow the steps in the box titled "How to open an investigation". Now, please explain what is "pretty obvious". I don't see any edits from this IP. Are they deleted?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:02, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes they're are deleted. I've blocked for three days. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:58, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Seemingly claims to be LeandroTelesRocha1983 and all edits are attempts to edit user pages connected with that account. Psychonaut (talk) 20:39, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
