Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/G-Zay

Semi-protected edit request on 28 May 2018
Hi. I'm User:Mr KEBAB, writing from a brand new account because I don't know/remember the password to the former. I can't write a proper report yet (the account is fresh) and I hope someone converts this to one or decides to check the users despite the place I'm posting this in. Anyway, there are four suspected sockpuppets of G-Zay, and I hope this will be taken care of in some way:
 * Jakeroberts93 (Contributions)
 * Diffs:, and
 * SandyPetersen (Contributions)
 * Diffs:, and , , , ,
 * Turklshdelight (Contributions)
 * Diffs:, , and ,  as well as , ,  and also , ,
 * Supermos127 (Contributions)
 * Diffs:, , and

The last two accounts haven't been active for some time, but since G-Zay is known to resurrect his sleepers, they're worth looking into anyway.

The first one (Jakeroberts93) is quite obvious - after appearing out of nowhere after more than 2 years of not editing, he pretty much jumps straight into demanding a bigger punishment for me (see and ), 10 hours after returning to Wikipedia. He must've been watching my talk page, which is something I've caught G-Zay on doing at least 2 times (if not with my own talk page then with the talk page of ). I mean... compare the hour my block has changed after the infamous message to the admin with the time he posted his message on the Administrators' noticeboard. It's like he started writing it pretty much immediately after the admin changed my block. What's the chance of all that? I'd also like to remind you that a few months ago G-Zay had an outburst very similar to mine, which I immediately removed - see. G-Zay is also a harasser himself - see what he does to Wolfdog. Not from this particular account of course, but see the previous reports.

Before complaining about me, he also voted on Talk:Received Pronunciation (see ) saying nothing but "I agree". G-Zay is known to be a manipulator of polls (see a couple of previous reports, made mostly by me). That particular poll probably wasn't manipulated, but see 1, 2 and 3. There also are some typos in his messages, like "alot" or "harrass" and lack of capitalization ("wikipedia"). G-Zay is known not to care too much about proper spelling. There is also a confirmed sockpuppet of G-Zay called User:Jaredcroberts, which is a very similar name. That account was banned in April 2015, 7 months before the first edit of Jakeroberts93.

The second one (SandyPetersen) was also easy to spot - the first 2 edits were made only to General American (an article that's been rather heavily targeted by G-Zay, especially what the bit he changed in the first two diffs), whereas the subsequent 5 edits were only about his first two edits. But at least he didn't edit war with Wolfdog, which reverted both of his edits to General American.

The third one (Turklshdelight) has been edit warring and treating Wikipedia as if it were his personal blog and his knowledge were literally superior to what reputable sources say. The way he interacted with me on his user talk page reminded me of this report from almost a year ago and this outburst. He said strange things, that I was following him and what not. I should've reported him sooner, but I couldn't find these links to back up my claims.

The last one (Supermos127) was already reported a month ago by Wolfdog, but it was rejected. Well, the Supermos127 was harassing Wolfdog on LGBT linguistics and all of his four edits are about that. He also makes typos or grammatical mistakes, like "deleted" for "deleting", "your" for "you're".

Also, notice one thing - the last two accounts stopped editing pretty much immediately after (or shortly before) someone had either said they were gonna report them or actually did that. See (here is his latest message, posted 6 hours later) and  (here is his latest message, posted a day earlier). Kbb2 (talk) 10:44, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
