 * - ECP gaming is unusual enough that this is probably worth checking, especially with one of the accounts already CU blocked. Please check to confirm and identify potential sleepers. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:38, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I see that User: BU Rob13 ran CU on the Willschmut account. Rob, what did you find? I also blocked User:Plantoprass, per CU. And, you blocked User:Draftpong, and linked it to Sockpuppet investigations/ConsumersDistributingonline, so that's where we go? Drmies (talk) 00:50, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't recall exactly, but I think I tied it to at the time. Those two accounts are certainly ✅ to each other. I originally ran the check based on an abuse filter being triggered (no more detail to that in public forums for obvious reasons). ~ Rob 13 Talk 01:29, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm a big fan of tagging... ;) Zzuuzz didn't mark it. But these two SPIs need to be merged, no? Drmies (talk) 02:06, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I haven't looked at the CU data for the account tied to the other SPI, so I can't really comment. will be more help there. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:29, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Both Clapwong and Prowiktop are ✅ as ConsumersDistributingonline, and not Willschmut. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:03, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, the behaviour of the other two accounts mentioned at ANI doesn't resemble either user here, so they are . -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:33, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty familiar with ConsumersDistributingonline, and if I had to call it on behaviour alone I would flag Clapwong and Prowiktop as CDo, but not any of the others; I would not merge them unless there's a very good CU result. I can't really tell from the comments here or at ANI if that's what the CU data supports. I'll also say that if CDo is active, it's very likely there are already more sleepers. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:50, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I've also blocked under CDo: a new account created after Clapwong and Prowiktop were blocked which also only made a series of repetitive edits to achieve a minor result, obviously attempting to game EC. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:25, 17 November 2017 (UTC)


 * here's what this looks like through my non-CU eyes:
 * These accounts ✅ to ConsumersDistributingonline:
 * (checked)
 * (checked)
 * (behaviour)
 * These accounts ✅ to Willschmut (both ❌ to CDo based on CU and behaviour):
 * This account is logged as Willschmut but tagged as CDo, and has no edits to check behaviour:

 * sorry, I missed the training template. Do you want to finish up here? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:07, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This is correct. Plantropass has no edits, but is still CU confirmed to CDo. Also not sure where Mr. Dodo'sss came from, but this is also correct. These are definitely two different users. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:54, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the messy CU results above. I'm not sure where you got the Mr Dodo result based on the above. I wouldn't merge any cases here, most likely. ~ Rob 13 Talk 14:13, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Mr. Dodo is mentioned in the filer's statement, and is CU-blocked by . I agree I took the filer's "already confirmed" comment for granted: I don't know which account Mr. Dodo is related to. But this leaves both Willschmut and Mr. Dodo blocked with CU-confirmations to no other account (that we can see), I assume that means there's something useful on the CU wiki. And I agree there's no merge here. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:13, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Can you check with CheckUser? Just three hours after I made change in a template, this account was created and reverted me. I have a suspicion it's either Willschmut or AndresHerutJaim, whose socks I reported recently. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 04:30, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Nystart!! is ✅ (and blocked), Duggepong is, Pitbull0701 is technically . I should really decline Yandanta as it's already been checked, but for clarity of the record, Yandanta is ❌ and there is no obvious technical relationship to any other sockpuppeteer. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:20, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Duggepong and Pitbull0701 are probably the same person, given the findings at svwiki. However, neither of them have been used to edit here in the few months since they were registered, so no action is necessary. As for Yandanta, the issues discussed at Talk:Israel are matters of some controversy, so it doesn't seem all that surprising that a new editor would show up to participate in the discussion. Yandanta positions also diverge slightly from Willschmut's, so it looks to me that this is in fact the case. Tagging and closing Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:00, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Backarn is blocked in the Swedish Wikipedia as a sockpuppet of, which means that he's either belongs to this group of sockpuppets or to AndresHerutJaim (they are very similar). With just 100+ edits in under 3 months his talk page is already full with notices and warnings concerning his editing. Requesting CheckUser, because they're always have a lot of sleepers. Pinging expert on these sockmasters,. Triggerhippie4 (talk) 07:52, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

I think I found other accounts. Earlier today, Backarn reported me to WP:AN after I reverted his addition of an image to Tel Aviv article. Participants of that discussion were Backarn, me and. Oshwah then locked the article. After the image was deleted on Commons, I asked Oshwah to unlock the article, which he did. Then, Backarn stopped editing, and "Earth calling Oshwah" account was created and immediately started to harass Oshwah. Edits by "Earth calling Oshwah" include restoring of the file that was just deleted following WP:AN discussion. Also, see 188.29.164.172 and StrongPencil96. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 12:32, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you both for your blocks here and globally. "Earth calling Oshwah" was created 11 minutes after Backarn stopped editing. I'm sure they're the same. Can this help to find his other accounts? --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 13:13, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Comments by other users
''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Neither. I was blocked because I edited an article which someone blocked had recently edited without my knowledge. Swedish Wiki has a policy of automatically blocking without looking at the CheckUser in such cases. And I didn't make a big deal out of it since they didn't even revert my edits and I'm much more interested in editing the English Wiki anyway. Backarn (talk) 08:16, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

The suspected sock-puppet accounts were created on July 29th and 30th, respectively. They participated in the same Talk Page discussion Talk:Israel along with יורם שורק. The second sock-puppet, User:ששש.מ.ל, very first edit after creating the account was to start an RfC found here. This was immediately followed up with the introduction of a second RfC found here. Apart from the disruptive editing, the content and tone of the three accounts involved are markedly similar. See their combined edits to compare and investigate here(1), here(2), here(3), and here (4).

If the three accounts are not operated by one, it is almost certain that two of the accounts, namely the ones created in the last 48 hours, are socks. Other accounts may be involved. Finally, for the record, copying user names in Hebrew with no corresponding talk pages into this template is an editing nightmare (left-to-right selection is replaced with right-to-left and then back again).

Exactly a week after the previous SPI case, these two new accounts turn up at Talk:Israel, discussing the same RFC with multiple unstructured aggressive comments across multiple threads, in exactly the same manner as the previous accounts did. A request for closure made at another user’s page makes the motivations clear (the RFC was opened by one of the confirmed socks). Also the timeframe of edits is very similar - the previous accounts edited between 0700 and 2300 UTC, and today the IP edited from 0730-1100 and S&OB from 1130-2100.

Again, participating in edit requests at Talk:Israel and editing Basic Laws of Israel, as previous socks did for the past several months (for example). First edits were made in personal user space in advance to receive extended confirmed user rights, so I request CheckUser for sleepers. First real edits were made 10 hours after the block of the previous sock. Triggerhippie4 (talk) 03:10, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

There are many edits in pages not related to Israel.

I told you to not delete literally everything on your talk page, but you then did so anyways. The dumbest thing is that I literally disagreed with the actual sock puppet about what they said.

This user shouldn't be allowed to just make false accusations at someone because they disagree over what they can do on their talk page. Bill Williams (talk) 23:56, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I commented shortly after the Israeli man's block because I went to go read about what he had done, and I noticed Triggerhippie4 reported them, so I checked Triggerhippie's talk page, and saw that they deleted everyone else's comments. Bill Williams (talk) 00:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

As with previous socks, here's very questionable edits in Israel-related articles by someone from Sweden. Triggerhippie4 (talk) 15:53, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

This user made too few edits for me to provide diffs. The fact that he's Swedish and made such bad contributions to articles about Israel is enough for me, as I've already caught enough of his socks to be able to recognize him. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 16:30, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

You must provide diffs.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:21, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * First, the user has edited only one article, not multiple articles. Second, how do you know the user is Swedish?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:46, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The fact that MadisonGrimes registered at sv.wiki (no edits), which I noticed before you e-mailed me, is not something you cannot say publicly. Saying he's Swedish without explaining why is not helpful. In any event, I decided, despite the poor evidence presentation, there was enough to justify a check. ✅, blocked and tagged. Please globally lock.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:22, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Locked in passing. This user also triggered the Commons abuse filter. --Green Giant (talk) 01:09, 9 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 02:59, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
