 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Tim Vickers (talk)

Both creators of multiple copyright violations dealing with Ohio State Representatives (see accounts' deleted contributions). I'd like a checkuser as I think other sockpuppets are likely. An IP hardblock would be valuable if it is possible, due to the continuing determination of this person to add copyright violations to Wikipedia in the face of multiple warnings.

Evidence submitted by VernoWhitney
All accounts focus almost exclusively on Ohio politicians and appear to be throwaway accounts.

STATEHOUSE1839 was blocked on 11 March 2010 and Jansport87's first edit was within an hour and their first mainspace edit was to add some details to 112th Ohio General Assembly, which was created two days earlier by STATEHOUSE1839. On 19 June Jansport87 was threatened with a block and their last edit was on the 20th, which was shortly followed by Gldnegls's first edit, which was to George Distel started by STATEHOUSE1839. Their second edit was to 107th Ohio General Assembly, edited by both prior accounts and later by LAVINA4194. I don't know why they abandoned Gldnegls on 16 July and started LAVINA4194 on 18 July, but regardless LAVINA4194 appears to be their latest account.

The three latest accounts have all heavily edited Ohio General Assembly. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

2 minutes after CAFESDO received a final warning for removing AFD notices, the Earioh account was created, and immediately removed an AFD notice from one of the articles created by CAFESDO, then proceeded to comment on many of the articles created by CAFESDO. A clear case of socking to avoid a final warning Wuh  Wuz  Dat  20:54, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by VernoWhitney
Sockpuppet investigations/CAFESDO/Archive was brought to my attention, and I believe the accounts are related and would like to confirm that if possible before opening another CCI. An almost exclusive focus on Ohio politicians and continuing copyright problems, as well as abandoning old accounts when threatened with a block all fit the previous patterns of behavior. Given the frequency of account changes and the strong likelihood of (re)introducing copyvio I believe a sleeper check may be called for. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

 * So I did what I could for behavioral checking, for the two suspected but not-yet-blocked accounts. None of the accounts have any articles in common, but that doesn't mean much; DelcoDell and SouthernBlvd don't either. None of the accounts use edit summaries. All of the edits seem to be more-or-less gnomish behavior; adding bold text, a wikilink, a single sentence. It's rare to see more than one edit to a particular page (and the accounts SouthernBlvd, Allofmylove, and RaymondCab have never made more than one edit to a single page). None of the editing periods overlap, at all; DelcoDell edited until late August 16, then SouthernBlvd began editing 4 hours later for a 6 minute span, then 18 hours later Allofmylove edited for 10 minutes, then the next day DelcoDell makes a single edit, then the next day RaymondCab edits for 4 minutes, then 3 days later DelcoDell edits again. All of the accounts edit in bursts of multiple minor edits to different pages over short periods of time (usually a 10 minute stretch or less). This seems very consistent and with the technical evidence linking these accounts anyway, I'm blocking Allofmylove and RaymondCab as obvious sockpuppets. --  At am a  頭 17:01, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

The IP is pretty obvious, as is WittTigers. I've blocked the IP briefly because I'm not sure how likely it is to change ownership. I've blocked and tagged WittTigers, and deleted and slated the creations.

This "block" is ludicrous. I make a whole-hearted attempt to help this individual clean up information that was stolen from ME and placed on wikipedia, and he blocks ME. How does that make any sense? You can't keep on blocking every individual who contributes to Ohio politics that is not an established user. I created this account to leave this message.

I've soft-blocked 198.234.32.0/19 for six months. HelloAnnyong's range contribs tool shows that OSUHEY seems to be the only editor active on that range, and has been for quite some time. CU input on the viability of hard-blocking the range would be appreciated, but it's a relatively large range so I wouldn't be shocked if the potential collateral damage is too great.

Creation of Ohio politician article with some copying. Every previous version of the article was created by the same sockmaster (see deleted history). Requesting CU for sleepers and probably other active socks as well. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:40, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Substantially identical edits as an IP on Randy Gardner (politician). Re-creating deleted page Michael Curtin. Unaware of any similarities to the former deleted page. Maybe an admin could check? Linking to a non-exsistant template in this revision which is similar in name to these OSUHEY-authored templates. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 16:17, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Looks pretty obvious, blocked. FYI the new Michael Curtin page is a bare stub, the previous version was more elaborate. <b style="color:#FF0000;">Hut 8.5</b> 18:12, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
