 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Although Jean-no is a (former?) admin on the French Wikipedia who also edits here using that account, I have the impression he may have used a WP:SPA sock in a recent conflict on the English Wikipedia. The arguments advanced in the few edits the SPA has made (Special:Contributions/Weakart) are identical to those advanced by Jean-no, including one which seems hard to believe, namely that LG Williams is a fake or non-existent artist. .

Furthermore, the years-old but seldom-used Qiki account has made the same claim, so the plot thickens. Tijfo098 (talk) 11:53, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough ! Don't worry checking that. It is possible that I did edits under IP (not in the conflictual recent case I think), but I have only one name here, I have nothing to hide. I have been an admin for five years but I resigned when I had to face that I was never doing any admin job. Being a former admin, as well as being an admin, gives me no rights or authority, of course, and just indicates that I know a little how wikipedia works. Jean-no (talk) 08:27, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Jean-no, is there any explanation you want to bring forward? Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 12:33, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * about what ? I am none of the other persons involved in the case, I don't use sockpuppets, I'm just Jean-no, and I incidentaly post under IP, mostly by lazyness of loging. Jean-no (talk) 14:59, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Revisiting this after the outcome in Sockpuppet investigations/Art4em

Concur that Qiwi and Weakart are the same person. Qiwi - who is the sockmaster - reated an account on 6 September. This account never edited, but is clearly an attempt to throw another sock into the washer.

Art4em and Qiwi are ❌.

All socks blocked. Elen of the Roads (talk) 16:14, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Moving case to Qiwi as master as that is the oldest account, tagging and closing.
