 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This user is a WP:SPA who only edits in order to add information about scandals to the various wiki pages for Korean pop acts. There is an AfD underway for a page he/she created called Korean pop music scandals. I suspect that this user is using multiple IP accounts to "vote" and comment in the discussion and it's getting out of hand. The user claims to have given up and wants the page deleted, and even blanked the page a few times, but they are still posting long diatribes with no reference to policy, in the AfD. This edit appears to confirm that 208.120.138.181 is Standage. This one appears to confirm 50.74.1.34, this one appears to confirm 68.167.21.82. Somewhat less conclusive, this edit implicates 71.249.179.74 and this one implicates 64.134.66.4 Robman94 (talk) 22:16, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree entirely with Robman94; this one is rather clear, and some of the puppeteer's comments, especial those directed at User:PhantomSteve, have been quite abusive. Another likely sock is

Based on what I've read in several music blogs and message boards, I'd say there's a good chance that all the accounts are related to the "accuser" in the Wonder Girls "scandal," who's been popping up in quite a few places trying to get traction for his claims, unsuccessfully.

Standage and Frazerrazor are ✅. I have indefinitely blocked Frazerrazor, and I have blocked Standage 2 weeks for disruption and sock puppetry. No comment with regards to the IP addresses, though one of them is obvious. –MuZemike 04:28, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Also ✅ as Standage:

Long-term edit warring at Wonder Girls. User:Chelseaarthur popped up a few days ago, repeating the behavior of Standage and his many socks, showing much more familiarity with Wikipedia procedures and with the article dispute than would be consistent with a new user. User is also repeating Standage's behavior in making personal attacks and accusations against users they disagree with, and accuses them all of acting together and in concert with a business criticized in the disputed text. Background in initial SPI and in Korean pop music scandals AFD (linked in 1st SPI). Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 14:15, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

The issue at hand is whether or not the information on the Wonder Girls page is well-sourced or not. It is excellently sourced. I am not a person who has experience with wikipedia and this person - HullabalooWolfowitz has lots of experience. He wants to remove well-sourced information by making an accusation. I have a right to edit wikipedia articles and this person H.W. is, basically, bullying me. If you allow him to resort to these bullying tactics in order to remove information he does not want on wikipedia, you are, effectively, proving that "might makes right" here and that information someone doesn't like can be removed. This is disgraceful. This guy H.W. causes nothing but trouble out here - look at HIS history - why does wikipedia tolerate a guy who continually wants to impose his will out here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chelseaarthur (talk • contribs) 14:54, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I need to STRONGLY point out that these allegations are being brought against me by a guy who has ACTIVELY VANDALIZED the discussion section of whether or not to delete Korean Pop Music Scandals. After this was pointed out - that Robman94 - was VANDALIZING a discussion page, suddenly I get accused of something. He was deleting votes and arguments. This is a MAJOR infraction.

Honestly, the people leveling these accusations have been doing everything possible to disrupt the Korean Pop Music Scandal page.

I can't believe that wikipedia is allowing this guy to get away with this.

Why might people be logging in with IP addresses? Could it be they are afraid Hullabalo Wolfawitz and Robman94 and their COHORTS (TRUE SOCKPUPPETS) will go after them the way they have gone after me and the page I was contributing to?

Please ban these cyber HARASSERS.

By the way, I just made an amazing discovery. The guys who are accusing me of various things are, basically, all in cahoots. If you look at Robman94's discussion page, at least one of the other people out here attacking me is there chatting away in a friendly manner with Robman94. So what's the term for this? These guys all know each other!
