Suspected sockpuppets


First started by hijacking Carrots (film) to create Carrot films, then recreated it. Obvious sock is obvious, see previous iterations at Carrot film/Carrot films/Draft:Carrot films CUPIDICAE💕  15:37, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets



 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User:Drm310 appears to have noticed this as well. All accounts seem to be editing to promote Draft:Sheru photography with very little interest in editing elsewhere. All accounts are promotion-only accounts and I can't see any reasonable rationale as to why this person is using three (or possibly more) accounts. Strong username similarity with two of the socks.

All accounts have been warned about their behaviour. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:35, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Regardless of the outcome of this SPI, I would advise that Draft:Sheru photography be WP:SALTed, as it has been created and re-created five times by these three accounts. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:59, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

 * They're all exclusively interested in the same subject, they're editing one another's sandboxes, all promotionally - whether it's SOCK or MEAT doesn't matter at this point. Blocked, tagged; I'm not sure I'm quite ready to salt a draft title yet, but it might come to that if they come back with more socks.  Girth Summit  (blether)  18:03, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * - Based on 's tag, this report should be moved to Sockpuppet investigations/Patelhera. Bbb23 (talk) 12:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Bbb23 - ✅. Case is now merged with Patelhera, and all blocked users have been re-tagged to point to the correct master.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:05, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Narender07 created User:Narender07/sandbox about Sheru Photography which mentions Carrot Films and Thetrendingpeople and has also edited in the userspace of Nagma03. Steveens attempted to edit the user page of Wobon (see abuse log here), a previously blocked sock, and has also edited in the userspace of the other two users. Nagma03 created User:Nagma03/sandbox about Thetrendingpeople. The only mainspace edits from any of the three accounts are useless/poor quality edits to India-related articles. The two IPs contributed to Nagma07's sandbox. Uhai (talk) 16:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Narender07 and Steveens are ✅, to each other and to previous confirmed socks. No comment on the IPs. Nagma03 is stale, so I'll leave that (unless someone wants to do a behavioural investigation on it).  Girth Summit  (blether)  17:30, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The IPs both look dynamic with a single edit each, so meh. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:08, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
