Suspected sockpuppets

 * Editor interaction utility

- so far it appears to be the same subject area of editing
 * explain how you know the accounts belong to one person
 * In the case of the some items all 3 have edited -

- so far it appears that when the master gets blocked, the compulsion extends to at least 2x IPs and one user name
 * explain how the accounts are being used abusively

- checkusers blocked the second and third - in the first most recent case the subject is very similar as well as edit history/contributions
 * explain why CheckUser evidence is needed (in most cases it isn't)

Although 2 have already been blocked - it would be useful to confirm whether they are all from the same origin. They certainly focus on the same subject area for editing JarrahTree 11:51, 24 December 2016 (UTC)


 * The 27.74.252.62 IP account is re-visiting Hocimi edits and reinstating reverts ? Just need to clarify - 2 blocked accounts already, the 2 new unrelated - what is disconcerting for an ed with no capacity to see further - is that the style and manner of the unchecked IP is that it has the exact same nature of the original sock master and talk page items to clarify that JarrahTree

 * Blueyeah has a similar editing style, focus on categories/Netherlands, user/talk page setup, and disrespect of policies as Wwikix.
 * Car700 and FDmacclosh the same as Blueyeah.
 * Wikix is an older account of the same person that hasn't yet been blocked.Ref1 -- click on any link on the linked page
 * Wwikix's long history of sockpuppetry at nl.wiki, where he's also blocked, has been confirmed.Ref2 Raising this history because someone reported sockpuppetry against Wwikix at en.wiki that was incorrect. See archive.
 * User creates dormant sock pops, then trolls at en.wiki, nl.wiki and likely also de.wiki where people only started noticing. Fr.wiki is also addressing the transgressions. The Dutch Wikipedia is closing huge ranges of IP addresses in order to stop his destruction.Ref3

 * I decided to look into this a little, here are my notes. Per the below, I am requesting CU for the non-stale ones.
 * Wwikix = Wikix. See this nlwiki ArbCom decision (auto-translation), afwiki block log (per auto-translator, "Do not obey bureaucrat orders on "Category" of articles .... stocking doll by Wwikix") (ellipsis in original). Wikix is very very stale (last global edit in 2014), but could be worth removing their +PCR at least. Wwikix has no global activity since March 14, 2020.
 * Blueyeah, Car700, FDmacclosh seem to have similar behavior. Compare 1 with 2 and 3. Also note that, per the above nlwiki arbcom decision, "Much of the objection to Wwikix's edits pertains to categorization..." (auto-translated).
 * The above nlwiki SPI-equivalent was archived, here are the three from 2020: 1, 2, 3. Based on this, there are likely sleepers.

Same topic area of interest (Binnenmaas,  ) and focus on categories. Everyone's already blocked, and I know CU was just run, but these socks are being created faster than I can keep up. Please check for any missed accounts and if possible, see if a block of the underlying IP might slow them down. Sro23 (talk) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

3fffee shows a rather particular interest in categories. Edits like this and this one clearly show this. The user creates a lot of new categories and quickly fills them up at a later stage. Additionally, there is (on some 300 edits from the suspected sock) a considerable overlap in interests with previous socks and the master (on this cat, this query). The reported user also shows some interaction with the master: this cat was created by the master, with the new account adding articles to it (see here). A previous investigation on the Dutch Wikipedia also revealed that this user has previously created some of their socks on the English Wikipedia as well. Requesting checkuser to investigate this case and a sleeper check. Daniuu (talk) 13:06, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

 * ✅ by comparing to notes from nlwiki. There's a bunch of zero-edit accounts which are ✅ from 3fffee and exist on nlwiki, also noted as Wwikix socks from there.   -- RoySmith (talk) 20:46, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
