Kashem overflow

09 December 2022

Suspected sockpuppets

See [1][2]. Same type of COI creations. See edit summaries ([3][4], [5][6]). It seems the second account was created shortly after the first one got reported to ANI [7]. Note that it was never addressed how these accounts have a non-financial COI to all these subjects simultaneously. MarioGom (talk) 12:59, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Created a year ago, and then made the prerequisite 10 edits to gain autoconfirmed, then made a single in-depth edit before going dormant for a year, now popping up on several AfD's. Unusual behavior for an editor with 20 edits. Onel5969 TT me 09:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is there ever such a thing as a quick check when mercenaries are involved? Anyway, here are my findings.
  • "Repszeu", "Chinakuku", "Wikiconsider", and "Clippercircuit" are   Confirmed to "Kashem overflow". They are also   Confirmed to "Kinkordada" from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rath Butcher, which I've merged into this case as the transitive principle of sockpuppetry applies - all these are related.
  • "Reqsezu", "Lungstast", "Yoloengineer", and "Amranhossaintuhin" are   Confirmed to each other,   Possible technically to the master, and behaviourally I'm confident that they are connected (e.g. "Repszeu" vs "Reqsezu" - no way that is a coincidence). firefly ( t · c ) 18:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Phew. Blocking the lot, tagging accordingly, closing. firefly ( t · c ) 18:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
