Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Renz 1919/Archive

Suspected sockpuppets
The user behind both of these IP addresses/ranges seem interested in disruptively changing the Kingdom Hearts article from "video game series" to "video game franchise", as did the Renz 1919 account:

Very similar editing timeline between the IPs and users, focusses on one video game / game franchise, making about dozen edits to it, then moves over to the next to make a bunch of edits to.

All of them share the same sole interests of video game articles.

I had a look through the last 500 contributions of the 49.146.160.0/19 range, and I was able to find a bunch of previous edits with the same Fixed typo, Fixed grammar, Added links, _____ edit summaries, as did some earlier edits from Renz 1919. Here are some examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Compare to Rena 1919: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Those edit summaries seem to be an old habit that they have since forgone. But it also indicates to me that the 49.146.160.0/19 range is largely at use by Renz 1919. — AP 499D25  (talk)  11:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Actually, I'm going to go ahead and block 180.195.79.19, but not touching the /19 at this time. Courcelles (talk) 15:14, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Hello. I am the user that reported Renz 1919 vandalizing the Kingdom Hearts series page under multiple IP addresses a few days ago. I forgot to report 1 more IP user making the same edits as Renz 1919 and the other IP addresses that came after.

I know this is wikipedia, but evidence is evidence regardless of the website as long as it is consistent. Renz 1919 has been doing the same edits other Kingdom Hearts fandom/wiki websites on the same February 27 and March 2, 2023 date under Renz2121 (Kingdom Hearts fandom) and under multiple IP addresses on (one being 103.125.150.82; same numbers on here except the last 2 numbers). I'm just going to paste what I stated to a fandom admin since its in order:


 * 1) February 27 and March 2, 2023: Renz2121 on Kingdom Hearts series fandom page. History
 * 2) February 27 and March 2, 2023: IP user 49.146.... (Same first 5 numbers as the already reported IP user on here) and 103.125.150.82 (same numbers except last 2 on here), respectively on Kingdom Hearts series wiki page. I already informed an admin on KHwiki of this months ago and the edit was undone. History
 * 3) February 26/27 as Renz 1919, March 2 as IP user 103.125.150.70, Same IP numbers as 103 IP user on KHwiki except the last 2 numbers, June 8 and 26 as IP user 49.146... (Same first 5 numbers as 49 IP user on KHwiki), and finally August 5/6 as IP user 108.... (already reported) on Kingdom Hearts series page on wikipedia. History

Hope this helps even more. Rob2k19 (talk) 01:03, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

 * CU . As the IP has not edited in several months, any further action is unnecessary. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 06:09, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
