Suspected sockpuppets
I'm getting a headache. So Kamilalibhat was renamed Kammill, who was renamed Hulged? But Wahhid was also renamed Hulged? Even if that were right at all (Wahhid was editing in March still?), it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a few of these accounts still laying around being retired. And what does EditorThanos have to do with all of these? But the problem here is that TheHornbill is a perfect technical match. And another problem is that Ulluly, a VOA, is also a technical match, who started vandalizing just after Hulged signed off. (Hulged seems to have made more than a few edits while logged out.) Mailer diablo, you've dealt with this before; please help us out. Favonian, you blocked Ulluly--what do you think? Is this another good hand, bad hand account, by someone who's had more usernames than I've had dogs? At the end of the day, at the very least I think we need some tags on some user pages, and some "old" "alternative" accounts blocked... Thanks. Drmies (talk) 22:44, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
Drmies, from what I can tell (and some of this may be wrong), Kamilalibhat has been renamed to Kamill who has been renamed to Hulged. KamilAleeBhat is an older account, the existence of which is unclear, which was renamed to Wahhid and is tagged on the userpage as an alternate account. EditorThanos was theirs and they admitted it in the previous SPI, promising me to stick to one account. I have absolutely no idea why Ulluly and TheHornbill are matches, but it's giving me headaches as well. Pahunkat (talk) 09:58, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- This case is being reviewed by Blablubbs as part of the clerk training process. Please allow him to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on his talk page or on this page if more appropriate. Blablubbs|talk 09:47, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Confusing indeed. Wahhid was formerly KamilAleeBhat ([1]); Kamilalibhat was first renamed to Kammill and then to Hulged ([2][3]). EditorThanos was undisclosed at first, then disclosed after the previous SPI. Wahhid is a disclosed alt ([4]), so there's no policy violation. The Hornbill, however, wasn't disclosed, and there's ample overlap ([5][6][7][8][9]). Disclosed or not, the sheer number of accounts (plus the logged-out editing) strikes me as a deliberate attempt to confuse and/or evade scrutiny. Drmies, is Ulluly ((confirmed))? If so, I'm very confident that this is some sort of GHBH thing, given the countervandalism interest of the others and the fact that Ulluly isn't a run of the mill VOA but gives off very strong LTA vibes, and would strongly recommend they all be blocked indefinitely. If someone does block, you can feel free to leave the tagging and case move to me. Best, Blablubbs|talk 10:20, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Drmies. That's good enough for me; I might be willing to assume good faith with regard to the VOA, but the fact that the VOA is LTAish, coupled with the confusing use of multiple accounts, disclosed and undisclosed, plus the frequent renames which seem to fall in the same category, plus behaviour like the creation of this massive list of newsletter recipients who are mostly tenured users who, as far as I can tell, haven't asked to be included, adds up to "likely trolling" in my head. At the very least, Hulged should have to offer a very, very, convincing explanation for all of this before they're allowed to edit further. Awaiting administrative action – please block all indefinitely; you can leave the tagging to me if you prefer. Thanks and best, Blablubbs|talk 07:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
