Suspected sockpuppets
[edit]A number of spammers are replacing dead links with spam, and leaving very similar edit summaries. Some of these are too old for AIV, so I'm sending them here instead.
S78bmode: [1]
Michaeldarwin: [2]
Mobillistrik: [3]
Vierren Livia: [4]
Jhosuaari: [5]
Bangmuzh01: [6]
It could also be possible that some aren't socks, and just using the same spamming software. I couldn't confirm my theory, though. Sunmist (talk) 00:07, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
- CheckUser requested - There are so many of them I think a CU should be done to make sure there aren't more. Bbb23 (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Myhostdominc78, S78bmode, Vierren Livia, and Jhosuaari I'll call Confirmed to each other, but the best I can say for the rest of them is various combinations of Possible to Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely). I also found which are likewise Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) (but some of the usernames make it obvious). -- RoySmith (talk) 15:43, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: Cs12operator would be the oldest account. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:44, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I moved the case to Cs12operator. Awaiting administrative action - please indef all unblocked accounts; they're engaging in the same sort of linkspamming and using the same sort of edit summaries. Jhosua wijaya and S78miya have no edits on enwiki, but Jhosua is spamming on idwiki, and S78miya is clearly related to the other accounts based on their usernames (S78bmode, Modes78).
