=== de.wiktionary: Suspicion of sockpuppetry (Udo T. & WitzigeWitwe) ===
{{status|done}}
I suspect that the accounts "Udo T." and "WitzigeWitwe" are operated by the same person, which constitutes a violation of the '''sockpuppetry policy'''.
My suspicion is based on the following observations:
# '''Ghost-like behavior of "WitzigeWitwe":''' The account "WitzigeWitwe" only appears and becomes active when the account "Udo T." is involved in a contentious discussion. "WitzigeWitwe" does not engage in article editing but exclusively participates in discussions, seemingly to support "Udo T.'s" position. She has not made any productive contributions; her contributions are exclusively on talk pages.
# '''Sudden and focused activity:''' The edit [https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Spezial:Beitr%C3%A4ge/WitzigeWitwe history of "WitzigeWitwe"] shows long periods of inactivity, followed by bursts of activity focused solely on ongoing discussions. This is particularly evident in the discussions for [https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Diskussion:Halteverbot "Halteverbot"], [https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Diskussion:Stoppschild "Stoppschild"], and [https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Diskussion:Fahrlehrer "Fahrlehrer"].
# '''Coordinated behavior and escalation:''' The discussions on "Stoppschild" and "Halteverbot" show a clear pattern. "Udo T." begins with short, dismissive comments, and shortly after, "WitzigeWitwe" appears with long, well-argued posts that systematically dismantle the opposing viewpoint. This behavior escalated in the "Fahrlehrer" discussion, where both users resorted to personal attacks and borderline harassment, comparing the other user to a "parking warden" and "Sheldon Cooper."
# '''Suspicious timing and self-incrimination:''' In the "Stoppschild" discussion, "Udo T." preemptively accused "VerkehrRecht" of being a sockpuppet (*"Ich werde das Gefühl nicht los, dass da eine Person mit 2 Benutzerkonten jongliert"*). This tactic is a common strategy to deflect suspicion.
# '''Critical evidence from an old discussion:''' On the "Fahrlehrer" discussion page, "WitzigeWitwe" made a claim about a "Fahrspur" discussion that took place in 2024. This is highly suspicious, as the account "WitzigeWitwe" was not active at that time. "Udo T." was, however, vocal in his complaints about this very discussion. The knowledge of this specific old dispute strongly suggests that the two accounts are the same person.
# '''Administrative Intervention:''' An administrator ("Peter") deleted the contribution by "WitzigeWitwe" that contained this revealing, unproven claim. The edit log for this action is visible in the page history of the "Fahrlehrer" discussion, but the content of the edit is hidden from regular users. This official action shows a clear violation of the project's rules. Please use your rights to view the deleted content and confirm this.
''The community's stance:''
The community's stance: Local administrators have not taken action, as "Udo T." is a long-standing user with a strong presence in the community. My attempts to complain about "Udo T." have been unsuccessful, leaving the option to contact the Stewards as the only remaining course of action.
Thank you for your assistance. {{unsigned|VerkehrRecht|2025-08-21T07:30:33}}
;Further observations
Since my initial request, my suspicion has been further solidified by additional observations. On August 19, 2025, I made a minor but important [https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vierte_Verordnung_%C3%BCber_Ausnahmen_von_den_Vorschriften_der_Fahrerlaubnis-Verordnung&diff=prev&oldid=258955610 correction] to the German Wikipedia article "Vierte Verordnung über Ausnahmen von den Vorschriften der Fahrerlaubnis-Verordnung," changing the spelling from 'Fahrlehrererlaubnis' to the correct 'Fahrlehrerlaubnis'.
Interestingly, "WitzigeWitwe" had previously and finally agreed with the correct spelling in the Wiktionary discussion, and "Udo T." had also stopped arguing the point. This temporary consensus, however, was short-lived. Just one day later, on August 20, 2025, my correction was [https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vierte_Verordnung_%C3%BCber_Ausnahmen_von_den_Vorschriften_der_Fahrerlaubnis-Verordnung&diff=prev&oldid=259010636 reverted] by "WitzigeWitwe". The edit summary explicitly referred to the 'Fahrlehrererlaubnis' Wiktionary entry that "Udo T." had aggressively created to strengthen his false thesis and, as it appears, to provoke me.
This incident is crucial. It proves that "WitzigeWitwe" was initially used to resolve the conflict and to save face for "Udo T.". However, the action on Wikipedia shows that both accounts are operated by the same person, who then switched back to the aggressive persona of "Udo T.". The fact that the "WitzigeWitwe" account was used for this revert suggests a mix-up of the accounts in the heat of the moment, indicating that the intention was to perform the revert under the identity of "Udo T.". This new evidence directly links their activities and exposes a concerted pattern of behavior to enforce a single, unified viewpoint.

==== Comment of Udo T. ====
I'm fully in favour of the stewards carrying out this check and already looking forward to [[User:VerkehrRecht|VerkehrRecht]]'s apology.
* I didn't check Udo T. as I don't think there was sufficient evidence. I did check WitzigeWitwe who is {{confirmed}} as the same account owner as {{u|Lian Ju Chi}}. Insufficient technical evidence to determine the "master" in this case. – [[User:Ajraddatz|Ajraddatz]] ([[User Talk:Ajraddatz|talk]]) 15:10, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

|reason = Ryreson81 was suspected as a sockpuppet in zhwiki, as a local SPI clerk I believe the evidence are not strong enough to proof their relationship (FYI suspected main account are JustinHK1002 & Louischen88888). However, during the SPI process, Ryreson81 admited they have abused sockpuppets, for those involved in vandalism they chose to not disclosed them, instead claiming 'Omg20070524, Terrance2025 and MapleLeaf2025' are their socks. O and T don't seems to have unstaled data. Requesting check between Ryreson81 and MapleLeaf2025, and check sleepers if possible, thanks.
