Suspected sockpuppets

Similar editing pattern. Make 10 minor edits to random article, turn user and talk page blue. Then one writes an article on a barely notable company and the other, using most of the same sources, writes one on the founder. Suspect a rogue paid editing operation.

I can confirm that McHoyel and MarianBGalu are the same. I'll see what I have on the others. - Bilby (talk) 18:14, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This case is being reviewed by Sro23 as part of the clerk training process. Please allow them to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on their Talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

Editing pattern very similar to that of the identified socks.

Almost all of the articles created using the named accounts were subsequently edited by unregistered users. Their edit summaries (or, in a few cases, the fact that they edited multiple articles created by different accounts) suggest that the IPs were used by the same person.

I also have suspicions with regards to User:Bitzonetick, but its connection to the group is an inconclusive combination of a weak behavioural link and weak off-wiki evidence.

Based on location, seems  Likely. No other suspect accounts located. Yunshui 雲水 13:27, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

LibreriaRei - similar editing pattern to many of the blocked. Make a number of copyediting edits to random article, turn user and talk page blue, then create a new article about a borderline notable company. Rentier (talk) 01:38, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adding more accounts that share the same editing style. Rentier (talk) 01:57, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Sro23! Linking to socks from the archive, [1], [2], [3] Bbb23, I can provide more evidence if needed, but prefer to avoid spilling the WP:BEANS if possible. Rentier (talk) 03:59, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This case is  Stale. However, given the history of the case, I am willing to compare the suspected socks to each other, but for each account there has to be diffs providing evidence of a relationship to the master or to any of the many socks in the archive. At this point there are none. @Rentier:?--Bbb23 (talk) 20:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This account created Soundwalk Collective. Account was then blocked for username violation for being User:Collectivesoundwalk and changed their name to User:Sonnenalle44, which is still almost the same name but passes. Account then submitted Draft:Stephan Crasneanscki, and a reviewer raised the issue of conflict of interest. They deny any conflict of interest, which is incredible in the sense of not warranting belief by a rational H. sapiens. Anyway, Stephan Crasneanscki was once deleted as G5, attributed to this sockpuppet family, which creates drafts on marginally notable companies and their founders. This is another case of a marginally notable company and its founder. I am filing it under the current name of this sockpuppet family, although there may be an even older account.

Not requesting CheckUser because evidence is stale. Same swimming and flight pattern. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:35, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
