Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Brand new account !voting keep in obscure MFD Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Peanut The Dog, and also joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Peanut The Dog. If you visit WikiProject Peanut The Dog, you may notice that the WikiProject has no clearly defined topic, and gives off a bit of a CIR vibe. This makes me think that the only person interested in keeping it or joining it would be the WikiProject creator,, and that person's sockpuppets or meatpuppets.

Also, the octogenarian userbox doesn't jive well with including "hashtag" in their name. Although this is purely speculation.

Checkuser could identify if this is a sockpuppet situation. – Novem Linguae (talk) 00:35, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

I've added Steak with gravy enjoyer to this report. it has the same behaviour as the other account - shows up, joins a nonsense wikiproject make by the master then makes a user page with user boxes. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 15:09, 21 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Funny, I was just about to add an SPI investigation for Steak and gravy enjoyer. I've put evidence below, and I'll change the status to CU requested, since that's what the status is above. ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍  ‍  21:41, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I've left notices on all of the accounts' talk pages. ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍  ‍  21:49, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey . Thanks for submitting evidence. Just an FYI, the cuture around here is we usually don't notify suspected sockpuppets and sockpuppeteers of SPI investigations. Please see Wikipedia talk:Twinkle/Archive 45 for more background info. Hope that helps. – Novem Linguae (talk) 22:29, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks. Sorry about that. Yes, that does make sense now that I think about it. That discussion was an interesting read! ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍  ‍  22:32, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

 * On 18:33, 16 February 2023, Widget-policyq229 created WikiProject Places Named Eva.
 * Then, on 01:20, 17 February 2023, Widget-policyq229 created the members list
 * Then, on on 17 February 2023 at 01:29, Steak with gravy enjoyer created their account.
 * Steak with gravy enjoyer's first edit, two minutes after Steak with gravy enjoyer's account had been made (01:31, 17 February 2023), was to add themself to the "members" list.
 * Steak with gravy enjoyer's only edits were to Wikiproject Places named Eva and their own user page.
 * I looked through the Wikiproject Directory just now, and could not find Wikiproject Places named Eva. It doesn't seem that it had been listed. So, it would have been complicated to find.
 * Probably nothing, but Steak and gravy's userpage says that they have a pet dog. . Widget-policyq229 says that they own one or more pugs. (It's down in the userboxes area. ) Probably the most ridiculous piece of evidence you've ever seen, but still ‍ ‍ Helloheart ‍  ‍  21:39, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Even if they aren’t maliciously meat-puppeting this whole account cluster screams WP:CIR. Dronebogus (talk) 07:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * HUH? Widget-Policy Thy Editor (talk) 19:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I have boldly closed both faux-wikiproject MfDs as snow close, also citing DENY. This all looks like trolling to me, and seeing this SPI, I'm inclined to block as NOTHERE. BusterD (talk) 10:42, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. Or CIR per above. Really just both. “I’m a bad troll…” Dronebogus (talk) 10:44, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
