Background

The accounts listed on this page are all verified socks that are interrelated, as evidenced by both Checkuser data and editing behaviour and patterns.

The socks all exhibit at least one of the following behavioural traits:

The accounts are being blocked. The blocks are performed by EgressBot using a standardized block summary and user talk page template, so that reviewing administrators and editors will be able to identify that they are part of this group. A copy of the block summary and template is posted below. It will take the blocking bot approximately an hour to complete all of the blocks; if for other behavioural reasons an administrator needs to block any of the accounts in the interim, the block will be superseded by the bot with the applicable summary and template. The same will apply to any accounts that have already been blocked.

Unblock requests

Unblock requests can be brought to the attention of checkusers; this can be done by posting a link at the SPI talk page.

List of users

See also: Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Orangemoody/Accounts/2

Users that have been completely checked for edits should be marked with ((Check mark)), in order to let other users know that they do not have to go over their edits again. This will also prevent duplication in effort, and make things more orderly.

If you have checked for edits in other languages, you can also remove the ((SULcheck| )) template.

Reviewers are encouraged to correct bad edits, such as insertion of unnecessary templates, ((italictitle)) insertions, and excessive internal linking.

The below list continues on Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Orangemoody/Accounts/2. It was split as the number of templates on the page surpassed the technical render limit of Wikipedia.

First alphabetic group

Note: Done except for two editors: Arr4 and Baaleditor
Definitely not good-faith editor. See many instances of his name at WP:COIN. — Brianhe (talk) 19:05, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I picked this one up on Elance a long time ago. Asked them to disclose which they did for a bit and then stopped. They also copied and pasted a lot. See COIN for the diffs. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I also concur. They denied being paid for Bosch Sensortec even when it was basically a copied and pasted press release [1] (and still is). SmartSE (talk) 20:15, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
flag Redflag Note: lots of edits on non-English wikis - we need to get admins from the other projects involved here. --Slashme (talk) 15:56, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so; see WP:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 83#Footwearspecialist There's additional concerns that I've emailed offline to Smartse. — Brianhe (talk) 19:05, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am having trouble navigating and commenting on this page and I am not an administrator. Though the edits done by this user appear harmless, after following the many wls inserted into various articles my impression is that this editor is promoting an organization called Magic Circle. I followed up on the wls to biographies of living persons who are claimed to be members of this organization when in fact no such association exists on the so-called 'members' article pages. Prince Charles(!) is listed as member but so far none of the others are identified as members of the Magic Circle by any of the references or by a referenced citation. In addition, the article Magic Circle claims to have members in forty countries with no citation for this statement. I will go back and edit accordingly, but is evident to me that if the Orangemoody editors are doing their 'job', then one of their customers must be The Magic Circle. Addendum: There is a Magic Circle template(!) that seems to have been created but not explicitly connected to the user in question. The template lists the past recipients of a Magic Circle award BUT there is no mention of the recipients 'Seigfied and Roy' ever receiving the award. This template is being used as a 'quasi' reference to back up the unsupported claim that these performers are/were members of the Magic Circle.   Bfpage |leave a message  21:46, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I reverted it to a redirect. This page provides ample evidence this sockfarm is not to be trusted. MER-C 15:00, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
