 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

All of these editors have created and/or edited articles related to products by Selleck Chemicals. All the articles have a similar style, format, and even the same formatting errors. Whether it is sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, I don't know, but it is clearly an organized effort among these users. Pages involved include: TAPI-1, INH1, RVX 208, AEE788, Linifanib, Selumetinib, Pracinostat, RI-1(RAD51 inhibitor II), Z-FA-FMK, Voreloxin, Vosaroxin, KN-62, K-Ras(G12C) inhibitor 6, TCID (inhibitor), PYR-41, Y-320, Resminostat, Selleck Chemicals, LLC, Selleck Chemicals, Src inhibitor, SKI II, Rho kinase inhibitor, Rho inhibitor, RI-1(RAD51 inhibitor), Repsox, RVX-208, Rigosertib, Pimasertib, KRX-0401, PD123319

I have also started an associated discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:49, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

 * As a whole these are all technically ✅ but some of this was coexistent on spammy ranges, so I'm not sure how much of it is spambot versus promotion for this (for the 0 edit accounts). In terms of the articles, I'll leave it to somebody else's discretion. Most of the ranges this was happening on already were blocked, ping me if it recurs.

Created user talk page with template from another for socking. Originally blocked by. Block template mentions creation of article about AOMEI, which this user just did (and I CSDed as a copyvio).  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 04:09, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't think it was that stale... but I just checked the archive and see I'm about 2 years too late. Given the copy-paste from another user talk page, I just assumed it was recent. How odd that they dug that up after 2 years.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 04:29, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Everything appears stale here (no edits in over 90 days), so it's unlikely that a CU would be able to compare this sockmaster with either or any of the accounts in the sockmaster's SPI archive.  I'm therefore inclined to decline this CU request, but is there something unusual which you believe calls for a CU here?  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:24, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I'll go ahead and decline CU here.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:35, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It appears to me that already made a finding of sockpuppetry here, but did not block the account. At any rate I agree this is part of the same sock/meat/promo farm, and it should be blocked now. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:15, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Blocked. Case closed.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:00, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Tenuous, but I suspect this could be another UPE account (Their only edits are to create a commercial promotional article, which I've just AfDed). Also they had to get an IP autoblock lifted as part of 's SPI block, which leads me here. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:17, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

 * - Could I get a summary of what Easonca's deleted creation Multcloud was about? If you remember that works too. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:55, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You can Google them. As noted in the AfD, they're a new web startup with dubious notability. Might even be a useful thing for some people to use, but that's different to being an encyclopedia article. Otherwise I don't remember this SPI, it was a month ago.

 * "MultCloud is a multiple cloud services management web application founded in 2013 by AOMEI Technology. MultCloud is designed to tie together all your cloud storage services..." bla bla bla. Says which cloud services it supports, gives its features and history (version updates). GABgab 00:10, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * - Based on that, . The previous sockpuppet asked to have the same autoblock lifted a day after Easonca did, and also created an article on another product by AOMEI Technology. Please block this account indefinitely. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:19, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * This account has not edited in a year - are you sure blocking it would be worthwhile? Thanks, GABgab 14:35, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I got the impression that Multcloud was a recent creation. If it's not then, by all means close this with no action. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:39, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, the page was only deleted recently. We can always block them if they resume editing - closing. GABgab 16:43, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

All above users all share common elements: For one, they all employ the same writing style and citation formatting, but most importantly, they all write advertising-like texts for Windows disk tools, of either MiniTools or AOMEI, on various articles and talk pages which I am currently tracking down to remove all traces of. The issue was already observed in 2016 but not handeled with. This kind of (self-)promotion has also been employed by Yukileoo and their numerous socks in the past, so these definetly belong to them.

 * Keybord-Man, Doris201602, Doris2016003, Parsec09 and Lovedandelion222 are stale and are calls to be based on behavior.
 * No point in blocking old stale accounts. Closing. Sro23 (talk) 16:47, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
