 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

First account was blocked on Jan 23, 2011 for sockpuppetry and cross-wiki vandalism. The third account violated the block by re-entering EN-Wiki under this new user name to engage is a new edit war on [Prince's Flag] (this same account has engaged in the same vandalism as in January of 2011 in the period October through December 2011 on Simple-Wiki (also a block violation), HIF, DE, ES, JA and SV (also a block violation). The second account violated the block on January 8, 2012 by removing the same picture from Meir Kahane: . In this discussion on NL-Wiki SwedishSven already admitted that Knowalles and Istochleukszonnaam were his sockpuppets: "Het zijn sokpoppen van elkaar, dat werk wil ik een CU graag besparen." Furthermore, a NL checkuser report confirms long list of sockpuppets: SwedishSven; Istochleukzonnaam; Avkitah; UbiDubiumIbiLibertas; OreHnAsaWyhtraCcM; VHRZG; Knowalles; *RollesEyes*; Lamb of God. SwedishSven and Istochleukzonnaam were globally locked on Februyary 1, 2011 for cross-wiki vandalism and sockpuppetry. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 21:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

After coordinating with the user who did the check on nl.wiki, I concur with that CU's findings, and all accounts here are also indefinitely blocked. --MuZemike 22:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Just like in early 2011 and late 2011/early 2012, , this user is going around the world to remove the "JDL graffiti image" with the same arguments as before:. His fixed method now seems to be to return once a year with new sockpuppets to do the same actions, until the image is removed on all projects. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 22:33, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Also opened CU case in DE:, and SV:. There are also some global locks:. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 15:13, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Most of these (except Libertaz) are indeed stale, but Knowalles has contributed until a few days ago in nl.wikipedia. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 01:57, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Please also include in this investigation:, . Suspicion was based on similar disruptive edits on the JDL article, but more recently edit war-ed here on the article Operation Magic Carpet (Yemen) and just a few days later on nl.wikipedia on nl:Operatie Magic Carpet (using his Knowalles account).

 * Everyone except Libertaz is of course stale by now, but from the contribs this seems reasonably clear. User blocked, and left a request for a global lock at SRG. Jafeluv (talk) 20:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisting to check for sleepers, and because information should probably be reported to checkuser-l. --Rschen7754 05:02, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * LevelBasis and Libertaz are ✅ matches to each other. No obvious sleepers. T. Canens (talk) 12:00, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Socks were already all blocked. Now tagged based on behavioral similarities. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:49, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Knowalles requested his non-sul account to be renamed to "NPK14051969" on the German Wikipedia (see here) on 30 June 2013. After the account rename, the same account was used on the English Wikipedia to do this edit, meaning that Knowalles/SwedishSven appears to have evaded his indefinite blocks on this wiki again. Please check if this is indeed the case. I'll also request a checkuser investigation on the Dutch Wikipedia (permalink), where he may have evaded another block. Please consider sharing/comparing the results with those checkusers. Mathonius (talk) 13:53, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I am Knowalles; I'm not even trying to 'hide' it; as you write yourselves, I openly asked for the name change on the German wikipedia. I was btw not using this account for vandalism or any of the kind, but it's true that some Jew-hating cyberbully got my (original) account blocked by convincing others I was 'sockpuppeting' :-) Anyway, fair enough, I shouldn't have used this account here, my bad, feel free to block it, moderators of en:wiki. (Btw, I am not NPK14051969 at nl:wiki (as you can see yourselves, that account has been made -- by someone else, probably by, eh, let's call him a 'cyberbully', you know, just like you are :-) -- shortlyafter my name change, so it's a total different account). I hope the 'sokpop'-test at the Dutch Wikipedia will show who it is, although I have some thoughts already :-).) NPK14051969 (talk) 14:46, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

I know you don't like the former Knowalles, Mathonius, but is wikiwide stalking in the best option for Wikipedia? The Banner talk 16:03, 30 June 2013 (UTC)


 * And the real 'joke' is that Mathonius claims I am the cyberbully ;-). The person who made the account with my name on nl:wiki -- so that I couldn't 'unite' the accounts globally -- is the actual cyberbully, but knowing Mathonius he doesn't care about that person, given that Mathonius favors that person's bullying. Btw, for the en:wiki-mods: Mathonius is actually a (powerhungry -- but well, everyone is entitled to his/her fetish, I guess, so let's not judge him on that) moderator on nl:wiki. Go figure... NPK14051969 (talk) 17:10, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Not sure if I should go to the noticeboard with this, but it should be obvious that "some Jew-hating cyberbully" constitutes an extremely strong WP:PA. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 21:27, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

 * - because this will be needed for nlwiki, and the account on nlwiki is not self-admitted. Since only English Wikipedia CUs can run CU on the English Wikipedia in practice... Rschen7754 21:34, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Though I suspect this may have to be handled through checkuser-l. --Rschen7754 21:34, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * At the request of a steward earlier today, I ran a check on NPK14051969 and shared my findings with them and an nlwiki CU. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 21:51, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Nothing else to do, and I already blocked the account. Rschen7754 21:51, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

This edit (e.g. compare with this edit) is completely in line with the previous run-ins I have had with SwedishSven and his sockpuppets here and around the globe. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 19:47, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

The edit summary in this edit (by an IP address already blocked for 60 days for abuse as proxy) referring to my edit on Meir Kahane ("Please remove the anti-Semitic vandalism from this article") falls into the same category. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 21:27, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Except the IP, none of the mentioned accounts has recent edits (as far as I can see). This looks more like fishing than a serious case that Knowalles et all is involved here. Even the content of the - despicable - edit is not in his writing style. The Banner talk 20:09, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ. Compare "some Jew-hating cyerbully" with "Whaledad is an anti-Semitic pro-terrorist propagandist whose only purpose on Wikipedia is to demonize Jews andIsrael." and you'll easily see this is the same person. Many remarks placed by Knowalles and his sock puppets on this WP and around the globe have similar accusations re. me and other editors in edit summaries and on OPs. W\&#124;/haledad (Talk to me) 20:42, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I severely doubt it and I guess most accounts you collected will give stale results. The Banner talk 20:51, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * All of the listed accounts have been blocked or globally locked except for Avkitah, which isn't registered locally and Lamb of God, which only has an unrelated deleted contribution from 2006. 190.74.188.234 has been blocked as an open proxy and 49.205.168.124 hasn't made an edit in over a month, so a block isn't needed right now. I think this resolves all the concerns with this case. Mike V • Talk 21:51, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
