Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Taztouzi/Archive

Evidence submitted by Susfele
Taztouzi has been indefinitely blocked for repeatedly replacing sourced information in the Mister World 2010 article with misinformation, nearly always the identical edit. Occasionally he has added a citation to a promotional website that doesn't now support his claim. He has now (since the indefinite ban of Taztouzi) apparently edited as Taztouz. There is an earlier edit using Taztouz, as well, and one using Tazouz1. The similarity in names, as well as the desire to incorporate the same piece of misinformation into the article all suggest that the accounts belong to the same person. The same edit has also been made through many I.P.s (page is now semi-protected until mid-July). Many of the I.P.'s were used only to place the misinformation into the Mister World 2010 article. A few of the I.P.'s and and 2 of the accounts have been used to edit other articles.

About 70% of the edits by Taztouzi are the Mister World 2010 vandalism. Two of the 11 Taztouz edits are the Mister World edit, six of the eight 86.69.10.235 edits, one of the three at 80.125.175.197, one of four at 62.201.142.27,

193.253.141.80 has hundreds of edits on a wide variety of subjects, but only one of them is to Mister World 2010. Perhaps it doesn't belong on the list, as it is clearly being used differently.

Accounts and IPs with edits all of which vandalize Mister World 2010 are: Tazouz1(1 edit), 82.124.142.48(2 edits), 82.124.180.207 (6 edits), 86.69.10.62 (1 edit), 90.35.109.177 (1 edit), 92.154.12.230(2 edits), 86.205.103.243 (1 edit), 79.89.112.223 (4), 212.12.173.208 (1), 82.167.35.133(5),90.35.44.217(7),86.69.10.186(2),92.154.73.143(1). Occam's razor suggests the same person created all the edits.

There is no doubt that these are the same user. Also, since Taztouzi was blocked, Taztouz has repeated the same editing as Taztouzi had done, thus constituting block evasion. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

All registered accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged along with, whom I also discovered. These IPs are all over the place, so page protection is desired over playing Whack-a-Mole with IPs. –MuZemike 02:20, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

The edits here,here, and here are the identical edits that Taztouzi repeatedly made. The two intermediate edits in the third diff are also by Taztouz1 and are an attempt to insert a citation to a web site that doesn't support the edit he made. Taztouzi also tried to link to the same web site. For further evidence, there is the similarity of the names. Susfele (talk) 23:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

New wrinkle. As 92.140.78.185 he made the usual edit. Then he apparently copied his now incorrect table from Wikipedia and put it on a bogus "official" website. (The formatting of the table was identical to the table in Wikipedia; the real official website is not at that address, though the logo is the same). Then he put the address of this bogus web site into the article as an external link. This IP is temporarily blocked now. Susfele (talk) 02:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Has twice inserted the same misinformation regarding the second runner up in the Mister World 2010 beauty contest, asserting that Mohammed Al Maiman, rather than Kenneth Okolie, was the 2nd runner-up. This is the exact same edit that Taztouzi and all his previous socks have made. Additional evidence is the similarity of the names, and that he now has created an article Mohammed Al Maiman which includes the same misinformation. Susfele (talk) 02:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
