Suspected sockpuppets
SergeWoodzing seems to be using WP:LOUTSOCKs occasionally to mask conflict-of-interest edits related to Lars Jacob a.k.a. Jacob Truedson Demitz (see COI noticeboard thread from 2017). In these edits, he has added mentions or photos of Lars Jacob to various articles and edited articles about Lars Jacob's relatives.

The global edits for the IPs show that they are interested in Swedish Monarchy and nobility, Wild Side Story and the people associated with it, the relatives of Lars Jacob (esp. Ritterstedt family), overlapping quite perfectly with SergeWoodzing's interests. SergeWoodzing is blocked from svwiki, and some of the IPs listed here are also blocked in svwiki as likely socks.

In some cases, the timeline of edits is quite clear: SergeWoodzing makes some edits while logged in, stops editing, and soon thereafter the IP makes its edit (confirming that this is not just a case of forgetting to log in):
 * 20 Feb 2024: SW edits until 13:18, IP makes an edit at 13:24
 * SW had added the photo openly a few days earlier: diff.
 * 12 Feb 2024: SW edits until 17:49, IP makes an edit at 17:59
 * 7 August 2023: SW edits until 21:48, IP makes an edit at 22:09
 * 17 June 2023: SW edits until 13:10, IP edits from 13:14
 * 27 Dec 2022 OZakE edits until 21:24, SW edits from 21:26 on
 * 19 March 2019: SW edits in 16:18, 16:20, 16:48 and 16:49, IP edits in 16:24 - 16:35

Examples of disruptive edits:
 * Added links to Lars Jacob in photos (these had been removed after the COI noticeboard discussion):
 * Added images of Lars Jacob:
 * IP removed a notability tag from Lars Jacob's mother's article and briefly participated in the same discussion as SergeWoodzing:
 * IP made a move request, SW supported
 * Added links to Swenglistic Underground FB page:
 * Edited COI page:

Perhaps not highly relevant for this case, but I note that there is an earlier account EmilEikS which was identified as a sockmaster. From the edit history and the user pages (especially in commons) it is clear that EmilEikS and SergeWoodzing are very closely associated with each other, and SW has uploaded many photos of commons:Emil Eikner to Commons.

I disclose a dispute with SW at WP:Reliable Sources/Noticeboard. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 09:38, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
