Bellpepper2 appeared after the article Kathleen Wynne was semi-protected by User:Black Kite, and continued the same edit warring that MohammedMohammed was engaged in. Compare this with this and this. On Kevin O'Leary, compare this with this. MohammedMohammed has already been checkuser-blocked by User:Bbb23. I'm suggesting a checkuser also to check for sleeper socks which are possible in my opinion. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 22:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Based on behaviour alone, 99.255.192.126 seems to be, in my opinion, a sock (involved only in areas Ontario Teacher was involved in, making almost the exact same edits). I'm basing my report of 70.48.150.8 on the possibility that Bell1985 is a sock, given the similarity of that account to User:LineCoding.

Compare:
 * This to this (regarding Bell1985)
 * This to this (regarding 70.48.150.8)
 * This to this (regarding 99.255.192.126)
 * This to this (regarding 99.255.192.126)

Not all of these comparisons are exactly the same, but they are very similar (mentioning NATO and the UN, and involving whether or not Maxime Bernier is a "libertarian"), and all of these users started or re-started editing after (or shortly before), a series of Ontario Teacher socks were indeffed. The first edit from Bell1985 happened two minutes before User:Bbb23 closed the previous SPI report, making it, I think, reasonable to suspect User:Bell1985 could have been missed at the last report, and I think another check to rule out a connection would be reasonable.

I'm not sure what this is all about. I've checked the contribs of you are talking about. It doesn't seem he or she has ever edited the Maxime Bernier article. What bothers me is that it seems this accusation might prevent me from editing any pages that this user has edited in the past, for fear of being accused of being the same person, and I don't think that's fair.

Same editing style and topics.  freshacconci  (✉) 01:22, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I wanted to clarify, per the comment below. User:William Bouguereau was blocked as a confirmed sock of User:Ontario Teacher BFA BEd. William Bouguereau edited at Art Renewal Center. Buffalo Soldiers edits at Art Renewal Center and topics on Canadian politics. Other Ontario Teacher BFA BEd socks edit at Canadian politics. All socks use the same manner of writing and all IP socks edit from Toronto, as does Ontario Teacher BFA BEd. Editing today at Art Renewal Center was made by Buffalo Soldiers and a number of Toronto IP addresses, all making the same edits, adding the same information, making the same reverts There is too much overlap with Ontario Teacher BFA BEd and proven socks to be a coincidence.  freshacconci  (✉) 03:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, if Buffalo Soldiers wishes to edit using just the one account and not engage in edit wars, perhaps we can move on with this. I'm not opposed to improving the article in question, as long as policy and guidelines are followed. That would of course include only editing using the one account and not edit warring using different IP addressed in order to appear to be different editors.  freshacconci  (✉) 04:01, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

These IPs, which are clearly being used by the same (or at least, a related) person (all of them are trying to add information about an "IED video", or reference said IED and video in their edit summary), have suspiciously similar behaviour to Ontario Teacher BFA BEd.

Simplexity22 (talk) 05:24, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The IPs started editing Omar Khadr less than a day after Ontario Teacher's latest sock (User:AcademicHistorian) was checkuser blocked.
 * They have very similar WP:IDHT style behaviour to Ontario Teacher (see this edit summary, notice how half of the previous editor's point was missed or ignored. Compare that interaction to this, this and this).
 * The first IP's edit summary, here, seems to be an allusion to a dispute Ontario Teacher was involved in ("Unlike the grenade, this one is not disputed" see: , etc.).
 * The first two IPs are part of the same /24 ranges used on Jean Chrétien, Dalton McGuinty and Kevin O'Leary; and the third IP is part of the same /22 range used on Kevin O'Leary (see this).
 * 199.7.157.0/24 and 199.119.233.0/24 were both used by Ontario Teacher on Omar Khadr previous to the checkuser block. Compare this and this to the diffs I've provided above.

Adding 199.119.233.131. Same range, same disputed edit. Meters (talk) 03:53, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

+ 199.7.157.34. This type of constant 're-hashing' of opinions, without directly addressing (some of) the other editors' concerns is very typical of the master (compare to:      etc.). Simplexity22 (talk) 02:49, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

+ 69.204.24.248: an IP who's only purpose has been to revert-to and build-upon Ontario Teacher's edits to Dalton McGuinty, this edit summary in particular makes very little sense (seems very unlikely a person who doesn't "know much about Canadian politics" would stumble upon an article about a former provincial premier, and even less so to take an interest in its content or to look through the page history), other edit summaries are very similar to IPs used by Ontario Teacher (compare this to this), and more similar IDHT here.

All edits (Aug.12) are to typical Ontario Teacher BFA BEd topics:
 * 1) Omar Khadr, as with edits by Ontario Teacher BFA BEd sock AcademicHistorian  - see 27July 2017 above.
 * 2) Proportional Representation, by far Ontario Teacher BFA BEd's primary "target" in WP - over 200 edits.  Typical Ontario edits depreciating PR and puffing FPTP:
 * 3) *, "No source". The second deleted sentence  is sourced, with an example, in the next sentence.  Ontario Teacher is Canadian.
 * 4) *, "More professional wording", renaming "Fairness" to "Seat Distribution" - of course the subject is fair seat distribution. The words "fair" and "fairness" are pervasive in the literature (see refs 2 & 19 in the section).  The term "free and fair elections" is a cliché, a collocation.  Ref 17, Forder, an anti-PR academic, has a whole chapter in his book entitled "Fairness".
 * 5) *, deleting section "Wider benefits to society". Ontario already deleted this section before, without comment, on Aug.25 2015.
 * 6) Talk:Patrick Kane, an ice hockey player.  About 98% of Ontario's edits are political, of the rest several concern ice hockey: Toronto Maple Leafs; Pittsburgh Penguins; Don Cherry. BalCoder (talk) 11:22, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm from Kitchener. The other IP editor (according to Google) is from Toronto. This might not sound like much, but the thing is, our edits were only made 12 minutes apart. It's a 1.5 - 2hr drive depending on traffic! So, it's absolutely impossible for one person to be in two places at once. In any event, I support the other editor's contributions. There's only good faith edits here as far as I can tell. 2607:FEA8:1D00:DC:ED01:568E:C817:E4A1 (talk) 03:44, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

The Oct 11 timestamps, around 11:00, are very un-Ontario - visiting another time-zone? Otherwise, unmistakably Ontario:

Also, the said table itself is an Ontario construct and should have been deleted as spam (WP:Project spam ) but somehow escaped.
 * Mixed-Member_Systems, an article created by Ontario (by hi-jacking the "Semi-proportional representation" article while providing no relevant RS to support a move and claiming a non-existent consensus ):
 * , replacing the phrase "single winner" by "Plurality/Majoritarian". This was a fixation of Ontario's on the Proportional Representation page, e.g.
 * , "...the will of their party's political leader". Another curious idée fixe of Ontario's, detached from all RSs, that party lists are controlled by the party's "leader", witness one of Ontario's earliest posts.
 * more "single winner" -> "Plurality/Majoritarian".
 * , and the previous edit, place Dual-member proportional representation in the "Mixed-member systems" category of a table rather than in "Proportional representation" - echoing one of Ontario's paramount aims, denying the proportionality of the "mixed-member proportional" system, e.g.: "It is, quite frankly, in the middle", fundamentally misunderstanding, or mis-stating, how the system works.
 * The Template:Electoral systems edit, too, is true to Ontario's mixed-is-not-proportional principle. That this is even possible is also due to Ontario, who replaced the template's unambiguous classification, which had served nine blameless years, by one that is ambiguous and so open to the confusion and doubt that Ontario sowed .  One of only two people to add an item to the template since then was duly confused , an edit that now "ChampionshipNights" is "correcting". BalCoder (talk) 18:09, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello everyone,

Like I just posted above, I found out about this accusation recently. I'm not sure why no one bothered to let me know on my talk page. Anyway, I think accusing the Swedish editor is rather far-fetched. I you look at the Swedish editor's edit history, they have been editing similar articles for several months, so I doubt anyone is flying back and forth from country to country every weekend. I guess when it comes to this sort of thing, an accusation alone is enough to convict someone though. I'm glad our criminal justice system does not work this way.

Willowravine's first edits (both minor) were on Oct 9/10, about 8 hours after sock Neil Gamon was blocked. The edits referenced below as evidence of sock puppetry were all made on Oct 28.


 * Proportional representation:
 * Compare renaming and promotion of section heading with renaming by blocked sock, promotion by blocked sock, renaming by master ("Two tier systems" changed to "Mixed Member Systems", near bottom), promotion by master.
 * Compare intolerance of any mention of sortition with the master's first removal, subsequent refusal to compromise.


 * Mixed-member proportional representation:
 * Observe reverting of MMP lead section, and compare with the master's version. Note the inclusion of biproportional apportionment, which has nothing to do with MMP. This may be an attempt to support the misclassification of biproportional apportionment as a mixed-member system on the restructured PR acticle (Section 5). Also note the idea that MMP is semi-proportional being reintroduced in the MMP lead.

Rhys Goldstein (talk) 03:46, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Semi-proportional representation:
 * Observe portrayal of MMP as semi-proportional ( making claim, strengthening claim, adding MMP section to semi-PR article), an obsession of the master (example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4).
 * Observe failed attempt to hi-jack semi-PR article, as previously done by the master (edit, move). Presumably Willowravine was unable to complete the move, as they self-reverted and pasted the master's content over the redirect. Willowravine later renamed the MMP article with no attempt to discuss.

 * So, I just found out about the accusation about me recently (too late to defend myself. Please read above). I'm going to let Willow know about the accusation about him, because he at least deserves that much.


 * Anyway, here's what I think. Willow may be Ontario based on editing the same articles. Or, Rhys may be Ontario's sock due to A. being Canadian and B. exclusively editing electoral system articles. Here's something to think about, what if both Willow and Rhys are both Ontario's socks, and this fake edit war is designed to clear one of their names. This way, no matter what happens, Ontario can continue to edit electoral system articles with impunity.


 * On the other hand, like I posted above, someone accused a Swedish IP editor of being Ontario, even though the Swedish editor has been editing for months about similar topics. This is obviously a false accusation. So, it is also possible that neither of them is Ontario, and I owe both Rhys and Willow an apology. Anyway, Happy Halloween everybody!!!

 * I had by far the most interactions with user Ontario (e.g ), so know his edits better than anyone, and I endorse each of Rhys Goldstein's points above. Just as with ChampionshipNights (14 October 2017 above), there is not the teeniest doubt that these edits come from Ontario.

I writing out a response to a BLPN thread about Doug Ford Jr. and realized about halfway through that I was really writing a sockpuppet investigation. This is what I had written at BLPN: this past September when Ford declared he was running for mayor again a stream of idle accounts and IPs turned up to try to polish this article, like here (Nocturnalnow's sockpuppet) and here (account created that day). Once the mayoral race formally opened in January we see more of the same here (account that had 3 edits from 5 years earlier prior to this [WilliamBurn 166]) and here (account that hadn't edited in 3 years [Soulspinr]) and this one (editor with a history of socking [Nocturnalnow]), and since he announced he was going to seek the Ontario PC leadership (instead?) we get these clearly promotional edits by two IPs with a small ISP in common, later restored by Nocturnalnow and a small mobile ISP from the same region.

It was running diffs on AstronautPants that tipped me off: they're an account created on the day after (sock) was blocked, and edited the same article Kelvin00 had been editing, Patrick Brown (politician). Their 11th edit was a very large content removal from the indefinitely semiprotected Stephen Harper, having earlier complained about the article being a "smearjob". They followed that up just recently by jumping into a dispute at Doug Ford Jr. which had been described by a different editor, Nocturnalnow, as a "smear". It turns out that Nocturnalnow has their own sockpuppets who have also edited Patrick Brown and Doug Ford Jr.. Of course it should be noted that there is obvious topic overlap between these three individuals, all are Canadian Conservative politicians and both Brown and Ford are in the news recently, but I think that there's more to it than that, and I'm requesting CheckUser on all of the named accounts to confirm the connections and locate sleepers.

I'm not as familiar with this SPI but I see from the archive that the master is on TekSavvy, and I had noted earlier that several of the IPs involved in the edit war on Doug Ford are TekSavvy and geolocate to Toronto (one geolocates to the Manitoba-NWT border but that is obviously bogus), and a third geolocates to a small mobile ISP also operating in Toronto. I see also that the IPv6 is on a range that has been blocked from this case before. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:05, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

I doubt Nocturnalnow is Ontario Teacher. (1) The Edit Counter/Time cards are very different, Nocturnalnow's does in fact look like that of a retired (and retiring) editor - extremely regular. (2) I interacted with Ontario when he began editing in August 2015 and have little doubt he was a complete newbie - his first edits were inept; Nocturnalnow was already editing by then, not particularly ineptly. (3) They both edited on 3 Oct.2015 between 3:20 and 3:50 (Ontario, Nocturnalnow): Not many people are capabable of keeping two simultaneous edit sessions separate, certainly not Ontario. Here is an example where he tripped up while repeatedly pasting the same text, once inadvertently using an IP probably a separate tab in the same browser (all those IP's edits are Ontario, 100%). Of course that doesn't prove much and I could be wrong.

For what it's worth, I also doubt Soulspinr is Ontario. As I say above, I believe he was a complete newbie when he started, although admittedly Soulspinr hadn't done much before that. Soulspinr's adding of tallies to various 2015 election templates suggests an altruistic streak completely absent in Ontario Teacher. --BalCoder (talk) 13:15, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Nocturnalnow requires special handling. There are matching technical connections between the account and the master. At the same time, some of the technical data is not as conclusive. Also, the behavior is unusual, notably the barrage of edits to Jimbo's Talk page. I have not looked to see if the master and socks have ever edited Jimbo's Talk page; that would be telling if any has. At the same time, the master has shown himself to be diverse in the past, meaning not only editing Canadian political pages, so Nocturnalnow's unusual edits do not necessarily prevent him from being a sock of the master. I'm perfectly fine with blocking Nocturnalnow as a sock, but I'd like more input from others first. As an aside, I don't believe anything Nocturnalnow says on his userpage and Talk page.

The edit to Proportional representation by the above IP (Diff/823968976) reverts to a good-faith edit by User:Odysseus1479 (Diff/807897645) that corrected some heading depth errors caused by User:Willowravine with this edit (Diff/807510397). Willowravine was correctly identified as a Soulspinr (or Ontario Teacher) sock on Oct.29 by User:Rhys Goldstein (Diff/807625161). The edit has the effect of re-activating Willowravine's changes, which were reverted by Goldstein (Diff/808205423) shortly before the article was protected for 3 months on Nov.1. Now 24 hours after the protection was removed this edit reverts Goldstein's corrections.

The edit is intended to show that the MMP electoral system is not PR, Ontario Teacher's principle goal during his WP career, a position no other editor has supported. Obviously, this is Ontario/Soulspinr again. BalCoder (talk) 15:40, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

 * older sock: "Use terms "pro-life" and "pro-choice" respectively in order to provide balanced language", as well as, all of which eventually led to this user being topic banned from abortion as arbitration enforcement

 * Thanks for running the check,, but I think Bbb23 is right. The pairing of what I presume are both users' terrestrial and mobile ISPs would be pretty common among users editing in the same geographical area, based on what I know at least about Soulspinr. If they were on almost any other ISP in that area then they would likely have the same ISP for both mobile and terrestrial, rather than a different provider for each. I was on the same pairing when I lived in the same area. It also wouldn't be unusual for users on those ISPs to share political interests (with myself, again). If you can't say the technical data is a definite match, then I have to say we don't have enough to go on to connect the two. But thanks for taking a look all the same.

Account created in 2008 (18 days before Soulspinr) did not edit at all until a few days ago. Created a user page, then has been sitting on Toronto mayoral election, 2018 unduly promoting one particularly extremely right-wing candidate. Has been attempting to declassify the candidate's particularly extreme ideology by using vague descriptors like "right-wing", in the same way that past Soulspinr socks have done for other controversial Canadian conservatives with documented views that are more right wing than typical Canadian conservatism. Examples:


 * Kevin O'Leary:
 * Maxime Bernier: (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxime_Bernier&type=revision&diff=778252063&oldid=778245659),  (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxime_Bernier&diff=811204589&oldid=810965258),  (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxime_Bernier&diff=780132564&oldid=780131598) - interesting that all of these accounts were edit-warring with each other but all are CU-confirmed
 * Doug Ford: (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doug_Ford&diff=833636044&oldid=833607516),  (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Doug_Ford&diff=823334725&oldid=823327744)

The edits to Proportional Representation look like Soulspinr's Ontario Teacher persona. The same change was made by Ontario Teacher in July 2016 (although the deleted text then was much different) with a similar (wrong) argument: and. ('Wrong' because the article is about the proportional representation of an electorate in an assembly; how this is achieved - by voting, random selection, or anything else - is not determinative).

I'd just like to know if these PR edits are Ontario Teacher because that would give me the backup to undo them. I don't care about the IP being blocked.

The other edits stretch back to 2014, before Ontario Teacher was created, but nonetheless mostly seem to concern right-wing Canadian politics, Ontario Teacher's hunting ground, plus some vandalism (e.g.Quentin Tarantino) and un-partisan hyper-linking (e.g.Cedric Cox). Mis-leadingly anodyne comments ("Typo") (Corruption in Canada, Ontario electricty policy) are another Ontario Teacher speciality, e.g.this Special:Diff/702727870/702821340 claiming to restore an edit but in fact only restoring part of it - check the 2nd.para.in the identified section 'Link between constituent and representative'. The first edits (Christian Paradis) promise - but, as far as I can tell, do not deliver - an anti-abortion angle: Ontario Teacher received a 1-year abortion topic ban and his very first edit concerned abortion: (not forgetting this anonymous attempt a little earlier: ). If these were all Ontario Teacher/Soulspinr edits I would not be at all surprised. BalCoder (talk) 16:00, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
