 * ✅ User:Lazaropoulos to User:NikolaosFanaris. I ran a check after I noticed some apparent logged-out editing by NikolaosFanaris after his block. Blocked Lazaropoulos indef. Can a clerk decide whether to tag? I'm filing this SPI for the record. No behavioral study is needed. EdJohnston (talk) 18:28, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The default is generally to tag - done. Bbb23 (talk) 19:29, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

These users have the same behavior, phraseology, arguments and edit the same entries, such as 2015 Greek football match-fixing scandal, Evangelos Marinakis, New Democracy (Greece), Talk:Super League Greece, etc. --Montigliani (talk) 11:09, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I also discovered this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/User:Lazaropoulos what is directly related to Dynasty Power's contributions Montigliani (talk) 21:02, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I found other puppet users of the same user: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Evangelos_Marinakis&diff=prev&oldid=1065207268. User Mightberightorwrong was his user puppet Glucken123, who appears to be the original user.--Montigliani (talk) 16:27, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged Dynasty Power. The IP edits are too old. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 23:04, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

This three-months-old account without contributions was suddenly activated  as a sleeper sock after 's block and  undoing the previous sock's contribution. The entire contribution list of Robust991 consists of: 10 edits to immediately become autoconfirmed, and the one revert on the semi-protected page. Please check for further sleepers. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:58, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Technically this is perhaps to Dynasty Power but there's something in the data that makes it quite obvious that this account is related. . Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:26, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

,, , yet another sleeper circumventing semi-protection by making 10 (here, 11) contributions, waiting and then restoring the edit of previous sockpuppets. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:06, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

 * I found no sleepers and blocked based on behavior. I'll leave this open for someone more experienced than "I just performed my first checkuser investigation" to decide. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:16, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Nothing to add – very likely to Dynasty Power from the archive, no sleepers. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 01:24, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

This is a user with multiple accounts who tries to slander a certain group and its president in any way possible. She is a confirmed puppet and keeps coming back without a trace of remorse. Montigliani (talk) 09:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I'll add that too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Glucken123/Archive to see how far this story goes. The common denominator is the involvement of all these puppets with Evangelos Marinakis and by extension with Olympiakos. Montigliani (talk) 11:52, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Already filed a CU check request to have the person examined closely and find out who they are. This is literally revenge politics in action. Apart from that, the request has no merit - there is no evidence provided, no diffs, no specific patterns. Just random words, including an offensive sentence, that if not backed it is a sexist allegation: "She is a confirmed puppet and keeps coming back without a trace of remorse."

 * - Please move this (messy) report to Sockpuppet investigations/NikolaosFanaris. Bbb23 (talk) 12:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * is clearly based on their behavior in the Super League Greece article (, sock's first Wikipedia edit). Blocked; feel free to tag. &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 15:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Merged, tagged, closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
