Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zingostar/Archive

Evidence submitted by The Anome
New account, with instant knowledge of Wikipedia's procedures first edits are to write an essay and then use it to back up an apparent Zingostar sock in an AfD.

This is immediately followed by more bad behavior; reposting a previously deleted article Inciclopedia (see Articles for deletion/Inciclopedia (2nd nomination)), and then twice removing an automatically-generated copyvio template that flagged it as having been copied from elsewhere. -- The Anome (talk) 01:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

Blocked on swedish wikipedia as a sockpuppet of many users there. Among these Matrix17, Sirapextra, Vermont etc. KzKrann (talk) 21:47, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

I have no connection to this other sockpuppet. I have done only creative edits on English Wikipedia. This is obivously a case of someone having the same name on another Wikipedia. Also isnt it true that bad behaviour on one Wikipedia and blocking doesnt apply to all other wikipedias until a "crime" is committed?, i am quite new on Wikipedia so i dont know. You will find that I and Matrix17 dont share the same IP.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 21:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I think your as you seems very interested of swedish events, writes much about Swedish people, found your way to AFD very fast e.t.c. this is a very obvious case. KzKrann (talk) 23:28, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I personally only have created this account on english wikipedia that I have right now. I cant speak for the rest of my family that shares this IP but i cant imagine that any vandal accounts are registered to this IP adress in any case shape or form.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 11:31, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * When this discussion is closed I will apply for a change of my user name on the appropriate section, so I dont get mixed with this other user.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 14:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments by other users

is not registered, has not edited on enwiki, and  is not SUL'd. Any evidence of abusing multiple accounts on this wiki? T. Canens (talk) 04:23, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Matrix 17 (note the space) is registered, but has not edited either. Without any evidence of misbehavior and/or socking, I recommend this be closed. TN X Man  15:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I do find it concerning that the user seems to be denying that they and the svwiki blocked sock are not the same user. They are, per SUL. But it's not really a blockable offense on its own. I can't find a list of Matrix17 socks on svwiki. If such a list is provided, we can go through it and determine if there has been abusive use of multiple accounts on this wiki. T. Canens (talk) 15:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Good reasoning. KzKrann, can you help us out with this? TN X Man  16:30, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I dont understand, if Matrix17 hasnt been used here. How can this be called vandalism. And as long as I with my account doesnt make vandalism (which i havent), I dont see any problem.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 16:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Non of the so called sockpuppet accounts have been used here. And as pointed out before any offences made on another Wikipedia doesnt make it right for a block on all wikipedias. But i dont know as i am quite new.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 16:37, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've left a note at svwiki for the admin who originally blocked Matrix17 there. T. Canens (talk) 16:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I still dont see any connections between this account and those. This IP will not match any accounts as I havent made them. Cheers.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 17:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It stands on that wikipedia that ÅlandÖland and Matrix17 are one and the same. But Matrix17 isnt an account on English Wikipedia so dont ssee the connection there either.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 17:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Isnt it also true that an account not making any vandalism shouldnt really be blocked?. It seems to be a very weak case and I should get the benifit of not being blocked no matter what.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 17:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The user accont ÅlandÖland is blocked as a sockpuppet to Matrix17 on svwp, this account on enwp seems to share some intrests with the user account Matrix17 and its confirmed sockpuppets at svwp, such as intrest in articles for deletion/nomination etc. I blocked Matrix17 indefinitly after the case had been discussed on svwp, I hope this user haven´t done the same thing here as he or she did at svwp, but if, then it is serious. Höstblomma (talk) 17:47, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot, Höstblomma. is blocked as a sock of Matrix17 on svwiki; further, that account (SUL'd) has also been blocked as a sock on this wiki (of, who used to be , apparently. Somehow I missed that...). Blocked and tagged as a Zingostar sock. T. Canens (talk) 17:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved from /ÅlandÖland to /Zingostar per usual practice. T. Canens (talk) 18:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Sleeper check, please. T. Canens (talk) 17:59, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

✅ that are ÅlandÖland. Some of these were SUL-created. svWP might want to look at them. Amalthea 22:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * All socks blocked and tagged. Icestorm815  •  Talk  23:02, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
