 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Named accounts and IPs concentrating on Articles for deletion/Oxford-Georgian Society and Oxford-Georgian Society where they are arguing for "keep" in the same highly distinctive style. If they are connected then this is pretty clear votestacking. Cusop Dingle (talk) 18:28, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

OxfordGeo is and for the remaining account, checkuser does not generally disclose connections between IPs and named accounts. The reviewing admin will need take any action based on behavioral evidence. TN X Man 18:33, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Blocks have been handed out all around. I'll point out that several of the IPs listed here have been blocked by the autoblock. We're done. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:51, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Adding who arrived today with the same style and whose contributions are related to Articles for deletion/Oxford-Georgian Society and Tamara Toumanova, which strangely enough is the other current interest of .  Perhaps a checkuser is called for now?  Cusop Dingle (talk) 12:41, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I have split these off into the 5 November section as they were added afte TnX declined the original CU. We have multiple named accounts now so would appreciate it if perhaps we can see if they, at least, are connected - . - The Bushranger One ping only 02:20, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's fair enough. OxfordGeo is so I can't link that way, but technical data is available Archie Zuckermann and Charlie P Ryan. It is  that these accounts are related. However, there has been separate socking:  is a ✅ sock of .  is ✅ by technical data to operate .  AGK  [&bull; ] 12:42, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh. All now tagged and bagged. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:26, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Biographyspot: Labiskvi: DPetryz:

That is just one diff each. Want to duck it, but would prefer backup first. Sleepers also requested. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  16:51, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

I kept several IPs out of this case because the list would be extensive, if it's not evident by the diffs that the history is of relevance, here is a link to the page history where several IPs have also been editing and the listed above accounts are adding similar information as previous socks. I also have semi'd the page because of all the abuse and reverts lying around the page. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  22:31, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment User:DPetryz appears to have recreated University of Oxford Georgian Society as a direct copy of deleted Oxford-Georgian Society. It was votestacking at Articles for deletion/Oxford-Georgian Society that led to the previous sockpuppetry reports for this username.  Cusop Dingle (talk) 17:31, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I have added users and  for comparison as having been involved in the sock-puppetry and vote-stacking results from the previous investigations in this case.  Cusop Dingle (talk) 21:40, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * DQ's diffs show three of the four named users making similar edits to try to establish Tamara Toumanova as being Georgian. Cusop Dingle (talk) 21:43, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
 * User:Andriabenia is another suspected sockpuppet active at Tamara Toumanova. Rast5 (talk) 19:19, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

A newer revival of blocked person with the same single purpose: continues to push the same nationalist POV to the Tamara Toumanova and delete the sourced information. Rast5 (talk) 19:08, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Comments by other users
User:rast5 keeps inserting false citations about Tamara Toumanova's maternal Armenian ancestry, despite the fact that the personality herself has stated that she is "part Georgian". He also insists that ancestry.com listing, in which Tamara does carry a surname Khasidovich, is her birth name. Am I trying to explain to this individual that her name in the ancestry.com database could be either from naturalization or her entry into the United States, and not necessarily her birth. This vandal refuses to give this an ear and keeps inserting the same information, while labeling me a sock. I want user:rast5 to be checked as a sock of User:Shulyatikov who engages in similar disruption.--Andriabenia (talk) 15:02, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Andriabenia appears ❌ to the other two accounts. TN X Man 19:52, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Closing with no action taken. As a side note: SPI is not the place to get revenge by having us check people just because they accused you. Having said that, if you want Rast5 to be checked, open a case and provide ample evidence. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:23, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Someone want to merge this with Sockpuppet investigations/OxfordGeo pls. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  05:12, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * So merged. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 05:20, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Acts like the mentioned indef blocked sockmasters with a primary interest in the same Georgian historical topics and with a first edit which continues the same editwaring over the Toumanova's nationality (f.e. compare by DanceStation and  by Andriabenia,  by Labiskvi,  by Biographyspot, etc.).

Like the other indef blocked sockmasters User Aferum shows the same primary interest in the Georgian-Armenian community and made a first edit which continues the editwaring over the Aznavour's nationality (f.e. compare this edit by Aferum citing GeorgianOxford's blog, and  by IP 88.211.44.71 citing the blog of Biographyspot and also engaged in the same editwariing over Tamara Toumanova with Biographyspot, DPetryz and Andriabenia ). The article from unreliable Russian women's journal was first used by user Biographyspot on his blog (which has a redirect to his another sock name GeorgianOxford )(and cited not only in English, but also Russian Wikipedia by the IP 88.211.44.71), and now Aferum uses the same 'source'.

From a CU standpoint, at best. Keep in mind that perhaps several people see the same source, but that doesn't necessarily mean that socking is going on. --MuZemike 19:33, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree with MuZemike. I don't see enough evidence here to draw a connection. I'll mark for close. TN X Man  19:52, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
