 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Olmerta is a sockpuppet created to participate on Articles for deletion/Asturix, so it can vote as OsmanRF34 voted. If you see Olmerta's first contribution you'll see it clearly. Richiguada ~ усилий и слава 15:24, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

There's a old report, but I did it wrong, so I make another one right. As I said, Olmerta is a sockpuppet created to participate on Articles for deletion/Asturix, so it can vote as OsmanRF34 voted. If you see Olmerta's first contribution you'll see it clearly. Its first edit was in that voting.


 * Sockpuppeteer diff's: 1 or 2
 * Sockpuppet diff's: 1 or this, which is very clear 2

As I said, the first edition of Olmerta was this voting, which is shady. If it isn't a sockpuppeting, it would be a WP:SPA. And it's very important to note that the user Jpgordon also thought the same: 1. It all is very clear. Richiguada ~ усилий и слава 22:38, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I stumbled upon this from Articles for deletion/Asturix (2nd nomination). I'd like to say that I've seen a couple sockpuppet-disrupted AfDs, and that I don't think this is one. Here you can see that the two accounts barely had anything in common. Also, from Osman's recent contributions, they are active mostly on the AfDs and Reference Desk (including while Olmerta was active, from 6 to 10 June), while Olmerta's contribs show editing in many random articles that the interaction analyzer shows aren't in common. Last, while this is circumstantial at best, both have different language and editing patterns, including the general time that they were online (Olmerta in the UTC afternoon, Osman in the morning).

 * - I'm not convinced, personally. All the evidence does is show that Osman and Olmerta agreed on something. It's curious that Olmerta migrated from sp-wiki to en-wiki to !vote at an AFD, but Linux is appears to be her main area of interest on sp-wiki, so it's not at all surprising to me. I also don't see a reason to single out Osman as the suspected master, aside from that they both make stupid grammar mistakes, but all that says is that two editors are not native speakers of English. Overall, I find the evidence unconvincing, and certainly insufficient to warrant a checkuser. I'll leave the decision of whether to close this case to someone else.

 * I will leave a note for Jpgordon in case he has any input here. I'm unclear as to whether his question was based on CU results or suspicion.
 * I was hoping Osman would come to his senses and stop rolling up alternate accounts, which he's been doing for a while. Mostly he had been doing it to ask inane Reference Desk questions, which first got my attention. Olmerta is ✅. Also:
