Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mathemaxi/Archive

Evidence submitted by Themfromspace
There really isn't a specific sockmaster here, as this active account appears to be part of the huge army of Dan Schneider sockpuppets who spammed dozens of links on Wikipedia last year. For background info please look over these three threads. This account has displayed a similar pattern to the other socks as he appeared making minor edits to film-related articles while sneaking in links to Dan Schneider's film reviews. See. I think its evident that this is another one of the sock puppets which were blocked as a result of the WikiProject Spam thread I linked to above, and it probably needs to be blocked to prevent further abusive editing.

 * RE Muzemike: there were several dozen accounts mentioned in the previous reports I linked to above, among the users blocked displaying similiar behaviour include:




 * The common editing procedure is to do one of three things; make minor edits to articles, add links to Schneider's film reviews, and write Schneider's commentary directly into articles. Kingflusher1 has done all of the three, for the linking behaviour see  and for the insertion of commentary see .  If you haven't reviewed the links I posted above I suggest you do so to get a scope on how wide-ranging this spamming operation was. Many accounts were blocked for displaying the same behaviour evidenced here. I don't think this was taken to SPI before because it was handled on AN and WikiProject Spam, so this report could well serve as a place to compile any more spam accounts that surface.

Can you give some examples of accounts that have participated in the spamming last year? MuZemike 17:32, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Blocked and tagged. For reference (unless there's a better sockmaster), Mathemaxi will be designated as the sockmaster. MuZemike 22:14, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Same behaviour pattern as above (minor edits to film articles including dropping links to Dan Schneider's film reviews). Links to Schneider's blog reviews include, , ,. The account isn't very active but it is likely a block-evading sockpuppet (and probably not the only one) and it does edit every few months.  Them From  Space  11:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
