Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Plastic Beach/Archive

Evidence submitted by WikiDan61
Based on similarity of Puerto Rico location stub articles created, I believe these users are either sock puppets or meat puppets. When specifically asked about using multiple accounts, Plastic Beach did not deny the allegation, but merely turned around to accuse the questioning user (an administrator, by the way). USLS1 has actually admitted to having used multiple accounts. Both USLS1 and Jonas Bronx have reacted in a similarly aggressive manner (here for USLS1 and here for Jonas Bronx] when their poorly created articles were corrected. However, neither user took the advice of the administrator to whom they had complained to open a dispute resolution case.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:30, 27 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Further evidence: When I informed Merrytimes how properly to respond to this SPI case, USLS1 deleted the message, calling it harrassment. (And here I thought I was trying to be helpful by letting Merrytimes know that simply demanding to be removed from this list probably wouldn't be sufficient.)

I found it interesting that several accounts were creating stubs about Puerto Rico's sub-districts. Cleaning the stubs I found out that the images are similar in quality. --Jmundo (talk) 15:36, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I received this message on my talk page today (which I subsequently deleted due to the nature of the message), and the posting user has duplicated the user page and talk page contents of USLS1 WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:11, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

✅ as being the same as the users in the archive. I've blocked one of the underlying IPs, but the user does appear to be hopping around. TN X Man 13:40, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Creation of an article on the Merhoff Post, a non-existent (or at least highly hoaxish) website that was often used as a reference by Plastic Beach and his cohorts. Note the odd title of the reference in this edit by Plastic Beach, and the matching odd title in this edit by WMCBBNNUR. It might be understandable of that text actually existed at the website to use as a title, but it does not now, and it did not at the time that Plastic Beach used it either.

 * This case can be closed. I had not recalled that I already reported WMCBBCNNUR under the Horizontal Law case.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:17, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
