Additionally John L. Booth is now editing a favourite article of another JohnGottensock, Igornotter - Serbophilia Edit - [14]

Also this IP - {179.177.163.242} is restoring John L. Booth edits [15], while simulatneously fiddling with a talk page of an IP {179.177.163.249} which is clearly linked to JohnGotten and has been blocked by Alexf twice recently. [16]

{177.133.241.249} has clear overlaps with John L. Booth [17], editting Serbophilia, Greece–Serbia relations‎ and showing a specific interest in changing the Albanian names of Serbian Orthodox church buildings in kosovo

John L. Booth - [18]

It is likely that this is John Gotten. @Pipsally: you have to request for a CU. Pinging admins familiar with JG @Ymblanter: @RoySmith:.--Maleschreiber (talk) 18:49, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Maleschreiber:Do I? How does one do that?Pipsally (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You have to use CUrequest as a parameter, see Template:SPI case status.--Maleschreiber (talk) 19:02, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with @Pipsally: and @Maleschreiber:. It is most definitely them. And their agenda is quite clear. See here where they hyper-focus on Croatisation of Italians and Slovenes being exiled from Croatia failing to mention it was Italian occupational forces that persecuted Slovenes AND Croats. Odd thing to leave out, and then here where they make quite revolting attacks and backwards claims. One would be hatd pressed to find one positive edit in their history. Bit ironic but at least the puppet unmasked themselves. This person will just keep making accounts taking advantage of the limited admins we have on here. Now the puppet appears to be editing as much as possible before the inevitable end. Looks like what will come crashing down for all to see is this type of behavior on Wikipedia which has gotten worst the past two years in aggressive pov warriors that see the platform as a battlefield against “enemies”.

Update: This is unacceptable Perhaps @Peacemaker67: who has dealt with this sort of Wikipedia for a while now can share some insight? OyMosby (talk) 05:34, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sro23: Thanks for handling it. I'll do the cleanup Pipsally beat me to it. Good job. --Maleschreiber (talk) 19:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So Booth is a CU match with Rafa (and I'm only halfway through), and Venize is Rafa. Fun fact: Venize is a match with User:JamesSandy64. I'm going to see about some range blocks. RandomCanadian, FYI. Drmies (talk) 23:36, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Similar edits that JohnGotten has made in the past, it also has the same location as the first IP from February. JohnGotten has previously left similar comments on my talk page a couple of times already so I'm sure that they're sockpuppeting again. Requesting CU to check this.

restoring edits by blocked socks 9 (both named and IP). There are loads of similar edits, adding Cyrillic names, and changing the order to Serbian Cyrillic comes first.-

Gamed autoconfirmed through sandbox edits, then immediately added a sock tag at User:Ariasalga, reverted an edit of theirs "per WP:DENY", and filed an SPI to the archive for Orchomen (the casepage being ECP'd). Looking at the history of Medieval Monuments in Kosovo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), I infer that to be Gotten, who edit-warred there as John L. Booth. El_C and Sro23 have since made a block apiece there and El_C has semi'd it, although neither noted a master. But the edit summary style is consistent with Special:Contributions/JamesSandy64, with capital-ar "Rv" (although no longer a dot), userpage blanking, and fighting other sox in the archives.

Also including Hunberct69, blocked by Sro23, who's clearly the same person as this. While I'm sure these two are sox of someone, I'd like CU (might have to be against log data) to be sure that it's Gotten and to rekindle the trail. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 04:27, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly a slew of new puppet accounts and IPs. A wide IP ban may be needed as this is a nonstop occurrence and abuse. An IP address @89.172.78.224: pointed this out on my talk page. See [[22]]. The IP is likely a sock of JohnGotten (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).He does editing with 177- 179 ip ranges these are some [[23]], [[24]], [[25]], [[26]], [[27]], [[28]], [[29]], [[30]], [[31]].OyMosby (talk) 14:01, 12 November 2021 (UTC) OyMosby (talk) 14:01, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jack Frost: many thanks. Seems they moved on. Will re-open if they surgace again. Much appreciated! OyMosby (talk) 03:21, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greeting. I suspected it was JohnGotten and informed the other editor. And maybe it is, because according to this, User: 177.98.150.152 is also from Brazil and has very similar edits as the others [[32]], and he was placed as a sockpuppets of JohnGotten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_JohnGotten. 89.172.78.224 (talk) 16:36, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The same ip has been vandalizing wikipedia for many years and after being blocked it returns again from other IPs. It's about this ip [[35]] , and here he was blocked first for three months, then for a year, and came back again only from another IP [[36]] these are his edits a year ago [[37]] They are the same ip from the same place [[38]] in Brazil probably the same person which vandalizes wikipedia for years. This is an archive of the Sockpuppet JohnGotten investigation. I hope you can solve the problem.
