 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Strange targeting of pages with relatively little traffic such as Open Verification Methodology and Universal Verification Methodology with different content each time. Edits have all been made in the same 24 hour period. initial edit by sockmaster, second edit by sockmaster, first edit by Ginosajivsginosaji, second edit by Ginosajivsginosaji, third edit by Ginosajivsginosaji, as of now only edit by Badpiggieawards. Requesting checkuser because of all this evidence and to know if any other pages are being targeted by accounts not found yet. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 02:52, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

 * All 3 are ✅. There were two other accounts that were technically indistinguishable, however these other accounts were used for vandalism only. One of them was already blocked, and I've blocked the other. PhilKnight (talk) 12:06, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Master and socks tagged and blocked indef. Closing now. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:05, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Because the evidence is spread out over many diffs I’m providing a diff of the finished product [] for sake of clarity.

Note that the puppeteer and both socks say “keep and Don't Merge:” (with a colon).

Note also that the two socks have no prior editing history.

The second sock posts his comment five minutes after the first sock is finished posting.

Observe also the most obvious case of Psychological projection in the history of Wikipedia []. 76.107.171.90 (talk) 23:22, 22 March 2014 (UTC)


 * 207.255.205.112 has just created another sock []. Note that this is also block evasion because User:Ronhjones blocked him for disruptive editing a few hours ago.  76.107.171.90 (talk) 04:42, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Electrostatic345345 was created and picked up editing of electromagnetic related articles after I.P 207.255.205.112 was blocked, and edits in the same style. All of the listed puppets are tag-teaming on same themed articles and seem to be connected to these reports at WP:FTN : Fringe_theories/Noticeboard and Fringe_theories/Noticeboard.

 * I was asked to look into this and I have to second concerns that these are all socks. If they're not, then they do seem to be organized WP:MEAT, which is just as bad. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   07:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Appear related - edit the same articles, add the same categories and the same external links  as several of the other accounts in the group. Also see the edit summaries here:,. I would also like to second Tokyogirl's comments. It seems very likely to me that all these accounts are related. --bonadea contributions talk 09:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Also appears related; editing same articles, using same unreliable sources, no prior history. Anaxial (talk) 19:13, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Requesting that this page be merged to the correct SPI Archives. This report was filed incorrectly, the correct sockmaster is User:Mittybark111. LightandDark2000 (talk) 00:39, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

 * - To check the suspected accounts only, plus sleepers. There is an abuse of multiple accounts as they've voted in the same AFD. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:25, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to bother cross referencing between the following list and above accounts, so the below will have a bit of overlap and may not be entirely complete. Regardless, every account listed on this page either above or in the following ist is ✅. Somebody ought to go through and check all these accounts for bad edits but I don't have the time to, I wasn't expecting things to get this messy. Regardless, the following and above accounts are all ✅ to . Could a clerk please merge?

I have gone through edits for those above and reverted anything obvious and tagged a couple of pages for speedy delete, but there are a number of redirects in place that might need attention. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   04:02, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
