Evidence submitted by Maunus
To verify if Rafrye is a sockpuppet of indefinitely blocked user Mikemikev, banned for disruption at articles related to Race and Intelligence. Indicia per WP:DUCK strongly suggests that Rafrye is a sock of Mikemikev, the user registered shortly after several IP socks had been banned and the user is preoccupied with the same topics and has the same POV's as Mikemikev and the same style of posting - right down to using "boasian" as a pejorative and selfidentifying as a genetician.·Maunus· ƛ · 00:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC) ·Maunus· ƛ · 00:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Mathsci
Since his community ban during WP:ARBR&I, later confirmed by ArbCom, Mikemikev has created a series of sockpuppet accounts, some of which have been overtly antisemitic and one of which targeted. Mikemikev edits from London. The IP above was used for a logged off edit of Oo Yun on the article Franz Boas. The other edits of Oo Yun on Talk:Franz Boas have been antisemitic and highly problematic, with personal attacks on the three administrators intervening there (Dougweller and Maunus, in addition to Slrubenstein). The language used by Oo Yun in the edit summary of this diff ''Nah, you're liars. Better to die than contribute to short term gangsterism. is similar to that used by Mikemikev, for example here :I would rather die than be unblocked.'' The choice of article and the slurs by Oo Yun are consistent with the type of tendentious and highly offensive edits of Mikemikev that precipitated his ban.

Huh? I don't know half of these usernames. Why would I make a sockpuppet with hundreds of History of Art edits (TisTRU), and then use a sockpuppet which I recently admitted was me (StudiousBob) to edit an article where I know the likes of Marginalia will be hiding under the nearest rock (nice work BTW sleuth!). I think you blocked some users from the Slade School of Fine Art, while you're playing Internet cowboy and "blocking" people. Perhaps using your brain may help? If I wanted to evade detection, wouldn't I use the account with which I hadn't recently announced the connection to 'mikemikev'? The incomptence and jumped up amateur dramatics of this place never cease to amuse me. It's funny to see how easy it would be to avoid detection if I actually bothered. BTW, watch how my edits stand.

Seems to be British and trolling, using the same overtly racist lines of argument as Mikemikev. (BT=British Telecom seems likely.) Some time would be probably be saved for checkusers and other editors if the talk pages of Talk:Race (classification of humans) and Talk:Race and intelligence were semiprotected for longer periods against IPs and non autoconfirmed accounts. (Note that revert warring on the latter by anon IPs has already required admin intervention under WP:ARBR&I.) Mathsci (talk) 06:08, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree with the suggestion that the project would be helped if those talk pages were semiprotected. Even at that, they must be vigilantly watched for efforts to undo the ArbCom decision related to those pages. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 23:58, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Interesting to note that User:Mathsci judged this case and found BT35 guilty without the formality of an investigation. He has displayed an astonishing zeal in labelling alleged socks of this user such as 124.115.214.202, 166.111.120.63, 128.40.189.186, 86.189.26.144, Frostbite Alan2, Frostbite Alan3, Frostbite Alan, In with the old, TohsTogNeroc, 86.189.18.110, Frank Dickman, 86.177.2.57, Juden Raus, Grinkagronk and Suarneduj. It is very nice of him to act as clerk for these SPI, but this is hardly the behaviour of someone who is anxious to disengage from the WP:BATTLEGROUND over Race articles. It looks more like gloating over his defeated enemies to me. However, it is of more concern to see that in his amateur SPI detective role, Mathsci has actually impersonated an admin, leaving a bogus block message with a fake signature here. It seems clear that in spite of his avowed intention to disengage from these topics, he is lurking on controversial race-related pages and tagging anyone who expresses an opinion he dislikes as a racist sock of his adversary. Of course BT35 may be Mikemikev irrespective of what Mathsci chooses to think. 212.183.140.59 (talk) 12:42, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * He didn't impersonate me- he helped me. I had justed blocked the obvious mikemikev sock but forgot to leave the message. - He should probably not technically have copyed my signature - but I appreciate his help anyway.·Maunus· ƛ · 15:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Maunus put the block message on the user page instead of the user talk page, so I just copied it to the user talk page.  I assumed that Maunus would not mind this very minor transfer and am happy that that was the case. Mathsci (talk) 20:31, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

 * And now Mathsci appears to have decided that 212.183.140.59 must also be Mikemikev without benefit of any kind of investigation, just because they dared to criticise him. His behavior in connection with this banned user is now quite disruptive.  212.183.140.36 (talk) 22:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The IP above from Harrow has been used in the past by someone editing in the area of Race and intelligence. It's quite possible that these are edits from someone on a Christmas-New Year break. Mathsci (talk) 22:22, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

This one doesn't sound like Mikemikev to me-for one thing, the two sound a bit different when they try to insult or intimidate me. (He's probably followed Tholzel here, perhaps from one of the innumerable "pure race rights" internet gathering places where quote mined and spin-synthed bits of Cavalli-Sforza, Dawkins, Nei and Roychoudhury are featured elements in the remaking and recycling of race myths. And he probably had prior experience editing before assuming this identity.  It could be he sounds like Mikemikev because they're both products of the same "white race rights" internet culture.) The topic attracts p'd off pov-pushers here to right-great-wrongs. Mathsci has a small handful of revengeful stalkers eager to t' him off. Several topic banned editors have resorted to socking, meatpuppetry, canvassing, open proxy ip and complementary wi-fi itinerancy and all the rest. I really don't understand why much volunteer time should be diverted to arriving at the most accurate diagnosis of transparently disruptive editors. BT35 obviously qualifies to one of them. Professor marginalia (talk) 07:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes on looking more carefully, that seems correct. The styles do not match. Mikemikev noticed the misidentification by Vecrumba, with which I initially agreed. He then thought he could profit from it by pointing this out. However, he revealed himself by attacking me and not Vecrumba. As noted on ANI, the Vodaphone proxy IPs have previously been used for disruption on articles related to R&I, and Mikemikev was undoubtedly the culprit.

First of all the IP left these messages identifying himself as Mikemikev on User talk:LessHeard vanU and on WP:ANI. I reverted both messages at 18:54, with WP:DENY in the edit summaries. Shortly after 19:00 BT35 restored both messages with the edit summary "WP:GIT" (git being a British insult). Per WP:DUCK, this seems to confirm that, however Mikemikev is accessing WP, BT35 is a sockpuppet and so probably should be blocked indefinitely. (BT35 just came off a 48 hour block today.) Mathsci (talk) 18:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * @ HelloAnnyong: yes, the evidence that they are the same user seems fairly overwhelming given the timing, the nature of the edits and their content, and the insult. I requested a checkuser simply because the IP is probably the same for both (I did not initiate the previous request). However, given the increased activity of Mikemikev over the last 48 hours, I understand that this places too much of a burden on CU. As you suggest, since WP:DUCK seems to apply here, it would be helpful to block the account BT35 just to avoid future disruption. Thanks for your speedy reply, 19:16, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Sock Puppetry is the abuse, not use of alternate accounts. Per WP:SOCK, "A person editing an article which is highly controversial within his/her family, social or professional circle, and whose Wikipedia identity is known within that circle, or traceable to their real-world identity, may wish to use an alternative account to avoid real-world consequences from their editing or other Wikipedia actions in that area."  No evidence of abuse has been given, and Maunus admits that this complaint has been raised solely because he disagrees with the presumed point of view of Rrrrr5.  He has no reason to suppose that there is a connection to Mikemikev, and indeed has a history of accusing the latter of ban violations which have later proved groundless by ArbCom (see for example ).  Now he resorts to Fishing to get his way.  This is Harassment, and conduct highly unbecoming a moderator.
 * Maunus complains that he needs to be able to raise these complaints to "tidy up this particular corner". Perhaps his time would be better allotted elsehwere?  Holding Ray (talk) 06:53, 30 April 2011 (UTC)  indefinitely blocked sockpuppet account
 * Nonsense, block evasion is abusive use of multiple accounts, and so is POV-pushing. I have never given any statement of whether or not I personally agree with any viewpoint. I do think my time is better allotted elsewhere as Wikipedia aparrently have little concern for whether their coverage of sensitive issues such as race is infected with politically motivated sockpuppets, meatpuppets and other puppets clearly working together through illicit means. Indeed I expect you will be seeing much less of me over the coming months, as this is simply not an enjoyable work environement and I can find better ways to spend my time off wiki.

QuintupleTwist edits in a similar way to Mikemikev, primarily pushing race as a biological concept on the same narrow set of articles, making very few article edits and arguing in an unhelpful way on article talk pages. Recently Maunus performed a 3 month self-block and QuintupleTwist almost immediately made a radical change to the lede of Race (classification of humans) in accordance with his biological point of view. He has restored that lede twice. At the same time a confirmed ipsock of Mikemikev 86.180.46.1 trolled ANI in a thread started by Maunus only hours after the first IP 94.116.41.96 announced Maunus' self-block, also in a trolling way. Maunus has repeatedly blocked IP socks of Mikemikev and has frequently been trolled on articles and talk pages by IP socks and sockpuppet accounts of Mikemikev. For these reasons I suspect that QuintupleTwist may be yet another sockpuppet of Mikemikev. Mathsci (talk) 12:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Nam84 is evidently not a new user. He started editing highly tendentiously as soon as the account was created and was blocked for edit warring. The highly circular mode of argumentation on Talk:J. Philippe Rushton seems similar to Mikemikev: an attempt to wind another user up by repeatedly making fallacious claims with comments that verge on personal attacks. The spelling is British ("behaviour"). The IP, perhaps posting from a cybercafé in London, appears to have attempted to cover their edits to an WP:ARBR&I related user talk page by making superficial edits to an article previously edited by the same IP.

His last trolling edits changed Lewontin to Lewontwin in Lewontin's Fallacy, again more trolling/vandalsim. All this is extra confirmation, if it was needed. I have requested Maunus to block indefinitely, given the checkuser results below. Mathsci (talk) 23:44, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

It's hard to know what to make of these edits, but there is an antisemitic side, a blatant pushing of outdated race issues, plus a targeting or trailing of Maunus (who has been fixing up edits by ). The blatant copyvios on images on Commons, which I have listed for speedy deletion there, are not quite what I would expect.

Seems to be Mikemikev again, considering the main article he is editing and the reverts of aprock and Slrubenstein.

The editing of Yfever is odd for several reasons.


 * Despite claiming to be a new user, his editing started with New Zealand sports figures, then moved quickly to the New Zealand expert in psychometry James R. Flynn: after that the editing shifted rapidly to editing almost solely in R&I related topics, touching exactly the same issues that started WP:ARBR&I.


 * Yfever copy-pasted the lede of User:Ephery/How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?, a deleted fork later placed by PhantomSteve in the user space of topic-banned user David.Kane, as the lede of a second article. No new user would be aware that an article already existed with that title and would be aware that it had been placed in the userspace of David.Kane. Yfever has even left a message on the talk page of the subpage. New parts of the article have subsequently been copy-pasted by Yfever from History of the race and intelligence controversy. This was exactly how the previous fork was created.


 * Yfever has also been editing Compensatory education with intervening edits by an IP from Imperial College London: I was not aware of those IP edits on 5 January, but edits of that kind, from that point of view and from that location have always been by Mikemikev.

I cannot tell for sure at present whether Yfever is a sockpuppet of Mikemikev, but he is evidently not a new user and the intersecting edits with a Mikemikev ipsock on Compensatory education. a little visited article, are grounds for suspicion. (Mikemikev in the past—for example with QuintupleTwist— has created sockpuppets that took some time to identify.) Mathsci (talk) 07:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

The editing involves a copyvio file, that an editor with the same username has added on Commons. Mikemikev has inserted similar content to the same three articles, with another version of the sane copyvio image file, as one of his previous indef blocked sockpuppet accounts . The copyvio image has been added to the same three en.wikipedia articles. The previous version of the image file was also deleted on Commons as a copyvio (as shown by the CommonsNotificationBot messages on the article talk pages). The name of this account was also a clue. Mathsci (talk) 07:09, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 * As "Go ahead punk" on Commons, Mikemikev uploaded two previous version of the same copyvio file which were both speedy deleted on Commons (see commons:User_talk:Go_ahead_punk). Mathsci (talk) 07:38, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Evident disruption by Mikemikev on his favourite article editing from usual location (Imperial College. London). The edit summaries and foul language on user talk pages (racist BNP rant) are typical of Mikemikev. The second IP has now been blocked, but I'm not quite sure why Favonian aquiesced with this banned user, who has been abusing a computer account at ICL for a long time now, as the archives show.

Obvious sock because account was created in October 2010 and first edit was trolling on the talk page of evidence page for the arbcom R&I review, with their usual theme (remarks about me).

 * This user's seemingly minimally inconvenienced by targeted blocking specific IPs. And his disruptions can be insidious. He doesn't consistently make himself obvious via the abusive and racially charged temperamental type outbursts. It's his "under the radar" editing that has led to the more significant, longer term disruptive crazy time sinks around here.
 * The more users that acquire a familiarity with his voice, his edit history, the better wp's facility to pull the plug on these more insidious, protracted disruptions. I don't know how else to facilitate this except by recording these suspect IPsocks to the appropriate category. This isn't the perfect tool because I don't think he's necessarily apt to reuse those specific IPs in some distant future-but his sock category page is the best resource available to editors trying to evaluate what's up with new suspects flashing warning signs.  Given there's not much an admin can "fix" by reporting his (obvious to me) IP socks here, I've been conflicted about wasting admin time sign posting the socks interferences here versus just letting other processes "weed them out" such as keyword bots or natural death via talk page.  But given signs Mikemikev's gonna play this game forever, I now think it may waste more time in the long run if these such socking instances aren't recorded here even while I acknowledge admins can't cure the problem here.

Is it possible this isn't Mikemikev? I can find nothing "vile" about the statements of the latest added IP* - although pictorally likening one or more of the AE parties to a whinging toddler was a bit rude - whereas MM's edits at the time of SLR's death were indeed vile and creepy and revision deleted as far as I recall. *I disagree with them, but can't see the vileness --Elen of the Roads (talk) 16:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Account edit-warring on usual articles targeted by Mikemikev, particularly Race (human classification). The latest edits add identical text on "cluster analysis" and the genome project HUGO as that added by a previous ipsock of Mikemikev, editing from Imperial College London.

This newly created account seems not to be a new user. He has edited the usual set of race related articles that Mikemikev and his socks and ipsocks have edited. The last identified blocked ipsock of Mikemikev left a series of pdf links to journal articles on a user talk page. BanjoBruce first edit inserted a link to one of these articles. A pdf link to another paper was added here. In addition the argumentation, citation and bolding of text is identical to edits made on the same talk page by Mikemikev in August 2010 just before he was site-banned by arbcom. The spelling is British ("analysed") and the account shows the usual persistence and intransigence in arguing with Maunus and Professor marginalia over the same series of points.

Recently created account. All four articles are associated with R&I and have been previously edited by socks of Mikemikev. The account edited logged off from an IP in China, which has been confirmed as an open proxy on WP:OP (by both Spitfire and Sailsbystars) and blocked by Materialscientist for two years. The timing of the creation of this account has been slightly confused by the block of the range 101.0.71.0/24, which has resulted in two postings using two other open proxies. In the second posting the user, previously editing in the blocked range, stated that he was not editing using the account PsychKitten. I am requesting CU because the first edit to Franz Boas was made a week previously just after the creation of the account and was probably made using a different IP. Mathsci (talk) 09:58, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The account has made further edits today so, considering that the open proxy they used previously has been hard blocked for two years, they must be using a different IP or proxy. I have tagged their user page as a suspected sockpuppet of Mikemikev. Mathsci (talk) 10:07, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Shortly after the PsychKitten edit, Mikemikev edited the same talk page using a Korean IP.
 * It is also worth remembering that the banned user used IPs in China for operating the sock account, so that is another possibility. Mathsci (talk) 10:14, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm interested to get a checkuser's perceptive on this. It may be that you find nothing linking this account to any others, as it's possible he's used a single proxy (202.105.113.132) exclusively for this account. However, it may be that there are other accounts created by him on this proxy, or there may be something else in the results that might help to indicate whether this user is linked to Mikemikev, the 101.0.71.0/24 IP hopper, or Echigo mole.

Recently created account with exactly the editing profile of Mikemikev (race differences, antisemitism, ect). This latest edit adds material previously inserted on multiple occasions by sockpuppets of Mikemikev to Race (human classification). On the article talk page he gives similar arguments. It's the usual article, combined with Holocaust denial and other edits with an antisemitic agenda. (He has previously added content related to Kevin B. MacDonald.) The comments to Dougweller are also typical. Mathsci (talk) 06:57, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * In practice, with disruptive socks like this one, the most efficient way of dealing with them is to file a report on WP:AN or WP:ANI after filing a report here. That is how this account was blocked. The last checkuser case was far more complicated than RichWales gives credit for, since PsychKitten first edited using an open proxy from China but made later edits which were probably from the usual IP ranges in Seoul. That information is useful for checkusers. Mikemikev has never had a history of sleeping socks and these reports are never made for that reason. Intervening sockpuppetry since the last report has required oversight of outing edits on WP:ANI (Alison did that) and on the Vietnamese, Japanese, Russian and Korean wikipedias (Philippe Beaudette of WMF did that).

I agree that without evidence that sleepers are likely, a CU isn't justified, but wanted to clear up that the last CU wouldn't be a basis for the decision as there is no possible overlap in times.

UltimateBoss was blocked as a confirmed sock of Mikemikev on April 24. On April 25, ApeMixDiversity was created and their first four edits proceeded to push an extreme combative view on race (human classification) (a favorite page of UltimateBoss) and to reproduce an entry on Frankfurt School twice which was almost identical to an edit made by Ultimateboss.

The three edits to the Talk:Race (classification of humans) return to usual themes of Mikemikev about Lewontin, Dawkins and Edwards (cf the sockpuppet User:SusanKravitz ). The username starts off like a recent sock. The link in the first posting is to a thread on an external website in which Mikemikev later participated.

First two are connected through Race (human classification) and the related discussion here. Kobayashi has been on this page for at least a month and a half, and has been blocked for it at least once. In a recent discussion on a different page, Kobayashi accused others of stonewalling, and was indef blocked as a result of this AN/I discussion. SpaceBobber's first edit (see contribs here, they're not that long and I want to go to sleep instead of copying diffs) is reporting User:Maunus and User:BlackHades for stonewalling on the first mentioned page, who Kobayashi was fighting with on, and posting notifications on their talks with deceptive edit summaries. I note that User:Johnuniq noted his suspicion of SpaceBobber as a sock on the NPOV noticeboard, and Maunus has noted the similarities to User:Mikemikev. SpaceBobber is connected to GreenLighterSam, because when I opened an AfD on the articles GLS recently created (see Articles for deletion/List of American fraudsters of Jewish descent), it was SpaceBobber who responded aggressively at the discussion - GLS seems like a throwaway account. The discussion turned out that the article had been created by a User:MelangePasty (who is also indeff'd), and was deleted; see this AN/I discussion for more info. MelangePasty was mentioned in a previous SPI for Mikemikev.

So, to summarize: K245 (indeff'd) and SB are linked by Race (human classification), which seems like a typical Mikemikev hangout. SB is linked to GLS by List of American fraudsters of Jewish descent, and both are linked to probable Mikemikev sock MP because it had been already created by them.

I'd say, quack quack; requesting CU for sleepers.

Sorry for the lack of diffs, it's 4 here and I really need to go to sleep. I hope the links I have are enough. If any of the people I've hopefully pinged want to contribute, please do. Ansh666 12:16, 16 December 2013 (UTC)


 * So, just to clarify: Kobayashi245 is indeff'd, MelangePasty is indeff'd, and GreenLighterSam is now indeff'd in the first case I've seen of an account being blocked for a SPI where no clerk or CU has commented yet. That leaves SpaceBobber, who hasn't posted in ~12 hours, if I can do math, and sleepers. Ansh666 00:19, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

A CU on Melange did find the account to be a possible match in addition to the behavioral evidence pointing to it as a sock of Mikemikev. SpaceBobber's behavior seems indistinguishable from Melange and has a similar style to Mikemikev. SpaceBobber taking two editors to the NPOV noticeboard is a good indicator of someone experienced with Wikipedia. It is a good idea to run a check just to make sure he does not have any other little socks lurking around here.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 22:14, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Typical Mikemikev claims that other editors are lying Marxist pinkos from an account that is less than 24 hrs. old. From today, "you are lying because you have a Western Marxist POV.". Cf., Known sock comment here.

No strident attacks against User:Maunus this time, but the first edit was to a Korea related article and then two at Talk:Race (human classification) with the usual complaints and poor sources. It's so unlikely that an editor would make this combination of edits and not be Mikemikev that this seems WP:DUCK but a check for sleepers would be helpful. Thanks.

Also on the same day, or the day after, he was blocked on Frank Dickman , which I noticed is the same name he has logged on his Wikipedia-sock archive here. .

Within a few minutes the Ip which geolocates to Korea and has previously trolled my talkpage and made minor edits related to Jews, attempted to troll me at talk:English language (his comments are sarcastically making an analogy between language diversity and genetic diversity - and he is quite, rightly, pointing out that it is a little ironic that I don't mind making linguistic taxonomies by dividing languages into semiarbitrary groups but would not accept a similar approach to genetic diversity - race as a genetic construct is of course Mikemikev's perennial obsession) and Sombe19 made several edits to Eugenics adding citation tags to edits I've made (the tags were justified). The coincidence in timing and interaction patterns, makes me think it is the same user - Mikemikev again, even though I had previously discarded the idea that Sombe19 is him ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 01:52, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

The new sock went right into the same conversations as before, engaging in the same argument-for-its-own-sake trolling (and seems inordinately interested in supporting one unconstructive user in particular; if this isn't Mikemikev's sock, well ...).

The latest edits do not seem to be in Mikemikev's style. The long thought-train tl;dr walls of text are out of character; they are also written in American English ("favor", "color", "hypothesized") with a non-characteristic use of ampersands (&). Mikemikev last edited Talk:Caucasian race as User:SamOrange. At that stage his edits came from South Korea; since then he has moved back to the UK, where he has so far only apparently edited with a British Telecom IP. The two sets of edits connected to Mercer Island do not chime with Mikemikev's style and suggest local knowledge (the use of the abbreviation MI in an edit summary). Mathsci (talk) 07:21, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Interesting. The topics all match though (Marx, race, genetics, Manaus). Perhaps intentional changes to style? Or perhaps one of the other dozen sockers that troll race/genetics? I'm convinced it is a sock and mikemikev made the most sense given the topics.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 07:31, 18 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree that it might be a sockpuppet. But this is not the first time there have been anti-Marxist rants on Talk:Caucasian race by other users, e.g. Not all of these are Mikemikev. Mathsci (talk) 07:41, 18 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I would request that my edits are not reverted until proper evidence of sockpuppetry has been proven. My "rant" was not anti-Marxist, but only in reference for the sociological desire for denial of even biological race as population grouping, as not all Humans are of the same lineage & heritage, as Marxism has influenced sociology to what I would subjectively argue is an undue extent.  Humans should be treated equally, but are not all of the same heritage.  Such is denied in an effort to deny the possibility of racism, moreso institutionalized racism or racism by individual or non-governmental group action.  Lest I digress, I do believe that I had a couple of accounts to which the passwords I had forgotten, no E-mail attached for recovery, many years ago--perhaps ten or so.  I have not edited Wikipedia since.  This account is not a sockpuppet, and my comments are perhaps evidence to some truth about user Manaus.  I ask that this be taken seriously. Thank you.W124l29 (talk) 08:13, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Manaus is situated in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, as compared to User:Maunus who is often situated in Mexico. Mathsci (talk) 08:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Lol, thank you for the humor. Let it be known that I meant when referring to "Manaus" that I was referring to "Maunus", User:Maunus, and took the misspelling from User:EvergreenFir's misspelling in his first response to your initial comment. Reading about Meatpuppetry, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Meatpuppetry, I also would like to state that I came to my opinion about User:Maunus based upon my own independent observations of his edits & comments over the past months. Those prior two or three accounts of mine were limited to perhaps ten edits each at the most, and being as that I do not remember their exact names nor their passwords, in addition to their being inactive for ten years or so, I do believe that I am in the clear.W124l29 (talk) 08:30, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

A new account has popped up today at Articles for deletion/Cold winters theory to not only contest 's Afd but also profess that he knows the "history" of the nominator -- despite the fact that this account was created today.

With no meaningful edits elsewhere, David Mendlesohn arrived on Talk:Race (human categorization) and immediately started making the same arguments that the banned user Mikemikev always does, using many of the same terms. See here for his comments to date and compare especially to here. While he's only posted a little so far, I think there's enough to justify starting a sockpuppet investigation:
 * What particularly caught my eye here was his somewhat out-of-the-blue swipe at Keita, who Mikemikev has singled out for criticism here on another alt (Cadada, in that case.)
 * Also, in the same diff, note the nearly-identical argument about people holding their views for "especially career development reasons" here vs. "maybe your career depends on pushing this stuff" here.
 * Focusing on arguments over race as an infrasubspecific grouping as defined by the ICZN, here vs here and here.
 * Harsh criticism of the term 'essentialist' (a common way of delimiting views on race), here vs. here - a SPI was never completed on that user since it's so stale, but I think it's clear enough (eg. usual fixation on "Lewontin's fallacy", which is a fairly obscure term.)

I do not think that this is Mikemikev. The reference to a posting of ArtifexMayhem (17 February 2015) in one of the diffs was to comments in response to. That IP was blocked as an ipsock of banned user.

I was recently emailed about a Mikemikev sock-puppet. Mikemikev has a long history of trolling the Race (human categorization) talk-page arguing with other editors. ‎ For example, he did that on his account Mbutu Collins and many others going back years. The talking points on Redundant Farmhand seem to match what Mikemikev has written on many of his other socks such as Mbutu Collins. He seems to have an obsession with defending pseudoscientific race ideas of Blumenbach compared to  and. He does that on three accounts Redundant Farmhand and Retired Farmer and Beet Farmer which match edits made on Mbutu Collins. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * On an un-related note an IP in this edit  has stated that BerlinburgerTor is a sock of Mikemikev. But this is only a suspicion.

I was recently emailed by someone who has been looking out for Mikemikev socks on Wikipedia. I filed a previous SPI against Mikemikev last month. He was on the account Redundant Farmhand arguing about race on the Race (human categorization) talk-page. He was blocked on the 14 February.

I believe the information I received is accurate that Angillo and Spork Wielder are socks of Mikemikev. This user has a long history of editing the Race and intelligence and History of the race and intelligence controversy talk-pages on short-lived accounts.

Mikemikev has a long history going back years of editing the Race and intelligence article on different socks. Spork Wielder and Angillo use the exact same writing style and arguments of Mikemikev. Spork Wielder was a single purpose throwaway account. Angillo joined Wikipedia only yesterday to continue where Spork Wielder left off. As another use noted Angillo is merely re-initiating the same discussion as the one Spork Wielder had made above on the race and intelligence talk-page. Mikemikev has had hundreds of socks. I think the admins must be aware of what his arguing style is about race. The behavior on both accounts ticks all the boxes that this is Mikemikev.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''

I looked at the single contribution of Jimmy Croquette and noticed a suspicious similarity with a comment by Markbassett at Talk:Race and intelligence just a few hours prior:. Note: 1) the use of "Cheers" by both accounts, and 2) that Jimmy Croquette appears to be referring to the same RfC where Markbassett is in the extreme minority, and that Jimmy Croquette is pushing essentially the same position. I'm not suggesting that this is a slam dunk by any means (really, the main clue is "Cheers"), but perhaps worth check-user? If they are indeed the same person it would be especially serious because Markbassett is an extended-confirmed account. If both are Mikemikev it would mean that this notorious sockmaster has been using a "legit" account for many years. Generalrelative (talk) 19:28, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

He always supports conservative/religious/right-wing positions, and to the best of my recollection, is always civil and frequently stops responding if he seems to be losing an argument.
 * I can say that, in my experience, Markbassett and Mikemikev do not behave alike. However, I would add that, were a person like Mikemikev (because of course, I've met a dozen others just like him; these sorts of people are never anywhere near as creative as they think they are) trying to disguise their behavior, the result would, in my opinion, look very much like Markbassett.
 * If someone were asking me to weigh in on the behavioral evidence, I would have to say that I could go either way. Should a CU be run, neither result would surprise me. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  20:28, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The more I look into this the more I'm doubting my original suspicion. For one, Mikemikev appears to have been radicalized around 2009, but Markbassett began editing in 2006. There would have been no reason for sockpuppeting back then. Plus I noticed that Markbassett never punctuates "Cheers" when signing off whereas Mikemikev usually does. I'm going to chalk up this recent coincidence to chance and withdraw my suggestion above. Generalrelative (talk) 03:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

This IP has only made a single edit, posting this charming message on my talk page: You disgusting tranny freaks should be placed in concentration camps and gassed. Obviously Mikemikev is not the only person who posts such things, but when I looked up the IP location I saw that it's very close to the location of Mikemikev's most recent IP sock  (see this archived case). One thing that's interesting about this new IP is that it's apparently a corporate internet account. I'm not sure if this information is useful in coming up with a strategy to prevent further disruption from this sockmaster, but I thought it might be worth reporting.

Mikemikev has a long history of editing the Race (human categorization) article talk-page and others with accounts with "farmer" in the name such as Badger Farmer Beet Farmer  or Redundant Farmhand. The recent account RedundantFarmer edited this same article.

Mikemikev also has a history of impersonating far-right individuals such as Edward Dutton, Richard Lynn or Emil Kirkegaard (he sometimes spoofs their usernames), for example. The recent "Emil O. W. Kirkegaard" reads as typical Mikemikev trolling, attacking other editors as being 'communists'. Both the RedundantFarmer and Emil O. W. Kirkegaard accounts edited the same article talk-page within minutes of each other. This is very likely to be Mikemikev creating multiple accounts on a VPN service which he has confessed to using.

 * I'm guessing this is meat puppetry, not sockpuppetry. All it takes is a social media post with a link to send people over to Wikipedia to vandalize. The accounts are blocked, I think if a CU check is done, they'll all be the same person but I don't know if it is Mikemikev. But that might not matter.

Behaviorally a WP:DUCK for Mikemikev. Some similarity in the name to previous sock Antique Hatstand. Now that Talk:Race and intelligence is unprotected again it's especially important to be vigilant for disruption of this kind. Generalrelative (talk) 14:06, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

edits and geolocation suggest Mikemikev, these are all CU confirmed as socks. I'm not sure how to tag them as they are suspected socks of Mikemikev but all socks of the oldest account which I think is Green Substance, created Nov 2nd. Found these several days ago, real life delayed my coming here (DuskDuck is more recent and seems to have been proclaiming their sock status with a large cartoon duck on their userpage going "QuackQuack".
