Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Parispv/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
Following a series of edits of Parispv adding fluffery to the Lea Michele article and removing mentions of awards and success from the Amber Riley and Naya Rivera articles; some of which I tried to counter before for the clear bias (and what appeared to be using Wikipedia to settle off-wiki fights about the actresses). Parispv was indef blocked in October; their last edit to the Naya Rivera article was this. The Unachola account was made shortly after Parispv's unblock request was denied. It has made two edits, the second being to restore the text of that last Parispv edit. Given the lack of editing by the suspected sock, this is a speculative investigation, but then given the level of disruption of the original user, I think it is worth at least asking just in case a repeat of that can be nipped in the bud.

 * I have a strong suspicion Unachola will not be a positive contributor to this topic if they edit again, but I'm unconvinced they're a sock, and given the weak evidence and low editing volume, I'm not sure a CU is justified. The overlap is on Naya Rivera, where both editors removed fragments that reflected positively on the subject; however, this seems to be a popular activity, for reasons I cannot fathom. I'm also not sure it's worth spending time on socks who only care about that page; if disruption gets worse, I would consider upping the protection. Vanamonde (Talk) 00:15, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I thought it was worth a squizz at the blocked accounts IP's; sure enough, they are ✅ to . no other accounts seen. Blocked, tagged, closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  17:01, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

This account seems likely to be an old account that sockpuppeteer Parispv has revived. The timeline for the two accounts and the timeline with the confirmed sockpuppet User:Unachola do not overlap, and the user seems to have the same editing pattern as Parispv and Unachola. The same intense defense of Lea Michele and attacks on Naya Rivera, including blanking well sourced material. They both love to describe content they wish to remove as "irrelevant": Cerebral726 (talk) 20:59, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

 * CU cannot help here because the master and previous sock are . I think the evidence presented here is not strong enough to block the account based solely on the behavior. Closing with no action.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  01:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
