Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Selwin wu/Archive

Report date August 9 2009, 20:05 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by User:Nja247

Overview:

Here is an WP:SPA with its sock IPs causing major COI issues on University of Queensland (see the COI discussion.

Pattern & Evidence:

You will see in the page history that Selwin wu edited almost constantly up until the COI tag regarding their edits is added to the article (here on the 4th of August), then the IPs start to edit the page after that point using similar grammar, edit summaries and edit style. Then when the article is semi-protected (on the 6th), Selwin wu begins to edit again to get around semi-protection.

Overall, all IPs are registered to the same ISP in Singapore, however we need to know if the two accounts are connected and if there are any sleepers.

 * Comments by other users
 * Totally agree with this report, Selwin Wu and other IPs have been POV pushing and copyright infringing excessively at the article in question. IP has miraciously appeared today. LibStar (talk) 00:16, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The newly added IP also is registered to SingNet Pte Ltd in Singapore, just as the other two IPs. Nja 247 06:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * As per Nja247 and LibStar. Sockpuppetry is quite obvious in this case; same intention, edit style, edit summary and location. -Reconsider the static (talk) 07:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I support what has been said, and I also think that User:Munrostreet should be checked as a sock. Their only contribution to Wikipedia was to protest the removal of Selwin wu's contributions that were copyvios. --  At am a chat 17:49, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Nja 247 20:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC) However, it is of my opinion that any blocks on IPs won't do much good as the numbers are everywhere. MuZemike 21:18, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
