NOTES

SPI

useful tools that can be used by non-admins to help discern patterns, but that doesn't necessarily address the larger challenge.

I don't have much experience with SPI, but I tend review the WP:SIGNS essay to help sort evidence, and there is also the WP:GOODSPI guidance for filing cases that I found while looking for a source for the guidance below, which I copied out of an SPI case earlier today but can no longer find, although it is occasionally stated, e.g. [1], [2], [3] when

Additional information needed:

· At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.

· At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.

· In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.

However, I also think participation at AfD by editors identifying spam/promo articles with analysis of sources and the P&Gs can sometimes help develop documentation, because those AfDs may draw out UPE meat and/or socks, and then a record ends up getting created in the normal course of AfD. Even when an SPI is not feasible due to the limits of the CU tool or challenges determining which case to file under, there are other ways for admins to handle disruption.
