 * Suspected sockpuppets

Smkovalinsky was indeffed by A. B. on 24 May 2009 for engaging in paid editing by admission. Based on Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2009-04-26/Kegel_male_trainer, that paid editing was related to the Kegel Male Trainer. Shockingly, Petrosianii is also tremendously interested in the Kegel male trainer, and seems to write a lot of promotional material about non-notable individuals, extra shockingly, he also appears to have very few edits to anything except articles mentioned at. For pay + Kegel male trainer seems like more than enough. Oh, and don't forget that for some reason Smkovalinsky is all over editing Petrosianii's sandbox.

This case involves paid article writers. Specifically, blocked puppetmaster, User:Smkovalinsky. See Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Smkovalinsky for reference as well as this current thread.


 * 1 User:66.32.144.167 is in Atlanta, editing same article Kaneva created by Smkovalinsky's sockpuppet, User:Acgibson (who claimed to be in Atlanta from userpage) within 26 minutes of article creation. Same IP edits User:Andicat's user page. Andicat has collaborated with User:Smkovalinsky's boss' wife (Susan Bryant) with this publication. Not accusing Andicat of sockpuppetry but something is very wrong here.


 * User:66.150.57.69 is registered to Kaneva and edits same day (20 April 2007) showing collaboration. :User:70.216.234.243, User:75.219.55.21 edits Kaneva and the whois reports User:Smkovalinsky's Bedminster NJ editing locale.

 * is a match to Smkovalinsky,  is ❌, everyone else is, and no comments on the IPs.  TN X Man  14:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I blocked 1weezie23 and left the rest alone. As Tnxman said, a majority of them are stale, and the IPs haven't been used much either. Feel free to relist if any of the accounts become active. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:39, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

The user's one & only edit is to save an article written by User:1weezie23, a sockpuppet of paid article writer, indef-blocked User:Smkovalinsky. diff. New users don't make a 1st edit at AFD without being someone's sock. <b style="color:#00C">⋙–Ber</b><b style="color:#66f">ean–Hun</b><b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b> (<b style="color:#00C">(⊕)</b>) 21:08, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * is ❌ to SMkovalinsky. They are a sock/alternate account, but I believe it is a good faith mistake. Since no one has left this user any sort of message, I will stop by their talk page to leave them a note. TN <b style="color:midnightblue; font-size:larger;">X</b> Man  21:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for checking. I intentionally didn't inform the user so that I wouldn't educate them on SPI methods. Smkovalinsky is working with a few others at this site, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was one of them. I've left the notice on their talkpage (owning up to what is mine). <b style="color:#00C">⋙–Ber</b><b style="color:#66f">ean–Hun</b><b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b>  (<b style="color:#00C">(⊕)</b>) 21:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * No activity from the suspected sock for a few days, so I'm closing this. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:43, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
