Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mikael07/Archive

Evidence submitted by Orderinchaos
Desta Men signed up today and is following the same course of action at / Talk:Indonesia as Mikael07, a user who signed up 15 days ago and has gotten into a fair few battles in his short time here. Looking at the history of Jakarta, one can see three very similar styled edits in the last day, two from Mikael07 and one from Desta Men, with edit summary "(link to generic criteria) add (the) source(s)". It's not a DUCK case, although I'll admit it's very close - part of my reason for requesting the checkuser is to determine if there are parts of this story we don't know (such as both being socks of a banned user).

The language, issues of interest, and positions on the issues at Talk:Indonesia are identical. It seems Desta Men has been created to give the appearance or more support for Mikael's views on the lead of the Indonesia article. Blindingly obvious to me. They also both sign off on the talk page with "cheer" (as opposed to "cheers").

Also, their user pages - Mikael07 and Desta Men - are very similar - both seemed to be copied from User:Gunkarta. --Merbabu (talk) 13:40, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm taking this one for investigation due to an offline query. Check seems justified. Results shortly, can a clerk fix the code letter at an appropriate point? ++Lar: t/c 21:34, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

I leave it to others to determine what to do but I suggest warning the main, and blocking the others... contribs show no need for multiple IDs. (if they had I would have stayed mum on the others) ++Lar: t/c 21:43, 25 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I blocked the three sockpuppets and warned Mikael107. Marking this case for closure. NW ( Talk ) 21:48, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

i don't know the member with name Mikael07, i checked the member's profile, and i am not from Argentina, i am not working as staff in IMF, i don't live in Toronto like what he wrote in his profile, i am a girl who has been reading wikipedia for three years and i have just logged in as a member four days ago, because i was too young to edit three years ago despite visiting and reading wikipedia many times since i was 18 years old, i had to learn how wikipedia work, so dont judge me as a duplicate as i dont know anything about one member i am currently claimed as--Sweetmistery (talk) 06:57, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Interesting to see that User:Sweetmistery have offered themselves up here. Could you please run a checkuser - my suspicions are based on WP:DUCK. Also, please check for others. regards --Merbabu (talk) 20:24, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Current style on the Indonesia talk page compares well with http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Indonesia&diff=prev&oldid=334213890 - Duck or no Duck - the coincidence is worth checking SatuSuro 04:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

– even though we normally don't endorse CU requests to prove one's innocence, the original filer has agreed; in addition, the edit patterns look somewhat similar but not definitive. –MuZemike 01:50, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Um... Why he would file this case doesn't make any sense, but yeah... is ✅ as. J.delanoy gabs adds 22:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your work. Were you able to check for any other socks in the drawer, sleepers, etc? regards --Merbabu (talk) 22:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Sweetmistery indefinitely blocked and tagged, Mikael07 blocked 1 month for sock puppetry. Just wow... –MuZemike 22:24, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Editor has an interest in Indonesia, has taken on two editors whom Mikael07 (who was blocked for a month for sockpuppetry recently) had a conflict with previously, shows some competence in Wiki code (hence likely not new) and is behaving disruptively and aggressively despite a very small number of edits. Does not fit under "community ban or block" as the editor was simply blocked by an admin after a sock check, but is still block evasion if proven, so I've put it in under "F".

– Behaviors are kind of similar, but the types of pages are slightly different. Not quite quacking loud enough for me to conclude socking. I think a check can help here. –MuZemike 20:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
