Suspected sockpuppets


I believe these accounts are used for the purpose of unwarranted promotion of the work of Xin-She Yang. Accounts show the same pattern as those in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Metafun: a single article is edited by a number of single-purpose accounts in a timespan of several days. Some of the accounts use non-Latin scripts (the Japanese username seems to be a misspelling of "algorithm" and the Arabic a misspelling of "flower", as far as I'm able to tell). —Ruud 16:39, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Except for the four accounts listed here, all the other accounts are too old to be checked. If these accounts here turn out to be sockpuppets, we can be more certain that all the other accounts were also sockpuppets as they show the exact same pattern of editing behaviour. —Ruud 10:13, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Vanjagenije: I need more information as to what you want. The listed master here is stale. Then, there's the issue of all the alleged puppets in the category. I don't know if any are non-stale, but some are older than Metafun. Why Metafun, and are any non-stale?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:48, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't wanna step on Vanja's feet here, but I would either not tag them at all (one master + sock isn't all that much to keep track of!), or tag アルゴゴリズムゴ as a CU-confirmed sock of Algoexpert and كمبيوترزهرةزهرة as a CU-confirmed sock of Tagineal; for both of these, I don't think spinning out a full case for either pair is necessary. What do you think, Vanjagenije? ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:02, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
