Suspected sockpuppets



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

If you look at the contributions of each account, you will see that the accounts almost exclusively edit Jim David. Like 99% of the time. And if there are any edits on other articles, they are adding information related to Jim David. Also, User:Comicjimdavid and User:Jamesdavid51 share the same name as the subject of the article. Also, if you view the edit history of the Jim David article, you will see that those accounts tend to add unsourced puffery or advertising, suggesting a COI (Examples from each account:, , , ). The reason I am asking for a CU to look at this is because I find it odd that the alleged sockpuppeteer created new accounts, especially since none of them were blocked.

 * Note: Comicjimdavid was warned about COI edits. That account stopped editing before Pot50rzb!! started editing a few months later. This is why I think this is more than a case of forgotten password.  Bait30   Talk 2 me pls? 21:14, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

you're gonna have to move this page because the sockpuppeteer is actually User:Potrzbie. My bad.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 03:39, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * There are no non-stale accounts for me to compare so I'm sending this to the open queue for a behavioural investigation. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:07, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * There's no one piece of evidence I can point to that proves socking, but the combination of similar usernames, usernames related to the subject, total WP:SPA history of all accounts, and similar spammy edits, all add up to clear socking. I will admit surprise that none of them participated in Articles for deletion/Jim David.  Blocked and tagged everybody.  Closing.   -- RoySmith (talk) 02:16, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
