Pinging, as we have discussed this on his talk page. Will expand case details in a minute because writing it out in a tiny Twinkle window is difficult. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

There's some cross-wiki activity on the English and French Wikipedias with these editors that looks highly suspect. Both Marvinfos75 and Marvin Beyster are blocked on French Wikipedia, for reasons of "Insertion of false information: Participation in the "Jacques Beyster" hoax" and "Insertion of false information" respectively.

en-wiki:

Marvinfos75 added a wikilink to "Marvin Beyster" in the article Johnny English.

Marvin Beyster created User:Marvin Beyster/Jacques Beyster (which isn't a registered username), Draft:Jacques Beyster and Draft:Jack Besther.

Wikifrenchman75 created Marvin Besther, which looks suspiciously like an old userpage from Marvin Beyster on fr-wiki. Wikifrenchman75 claims to be a manager of Marvin Besther (see Talk:Marvin Besther). However he blanked all the notices on his talk page, including my uw-paid1, and just left his initial welcome message. No disclosure made yet either.

fr-wiki:

Marvinfos75 and Marvin Beyster  added similar content to fr:Johnny English.

A deletion debate at fr:Discussion:Jacques_Beyster/Suppression concludes that articles fr:Jacques_Beyster, fr:Marvin Bester and fr:Marvin Beyster created by Marvinfos75 and Marvin Beyster are hoaxes. Both accounts are indef'd on February 22.

Wikifrenchman75's account was created on March 31. His last activities on fr-wiki were to delete content from an administrator's discussion page:
 * - concerning Marvin Beyster's denied unblock request
 * - concerning Marvinfos75 and Marvin Beyster creating hoax articles, as well as inserting hoax content on the IMDb

Pinging as he was involved in the discussions at French Wikipedia. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:35, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello. First, I hope my comment will be on the correct section (I am not used to Sockpuppet investigations on WP:en). et his other account weren't there to contribute. He first created a hoax about "Kingdom of Gondor" which contained various copy-pasted informations from various pages. In 2018, he tries to create several times Marvin Bester until we protech the page. He tried to skirt this decision by creating Marvin Beyster with his second account. But his final act was to create Jacques Beyster where his two accounts were involved and which was a total hoax, whose only source was a dubious site.

The two accounts were finally blocked because of those hoaxes. This "contributor" is not there to contribute, at best he will only make his own publicity. That's not the relevant page to express this advice but Marvin Besther and the various drafts created should also be deleted on WP:en in my opinion. He clearly has insufficient notability to be on Wikipedia.

Marvinfos75 and Wikifrenchman75 are ✅. Marvin Beyster is. Blocked, tagged, closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:08, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * was created on en.wiki on April 6. The account is ✅ from Wikifrenchman75. I noticed NobleFrance when I was checking but didn't report the account as a possible sleeper. However, after I closed this report, I started looking at the articles/drafts created here by the three active accounts and saw that NobleFrance collaborated with Wikifrenchman75 at fr: André de La Trémoille, which was recreated here as André of La Trémoille. I've therefore blocked and tagged NobleFrance. I recommend that you request a CU for NobleFrance at fr.wiki.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:32, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
