Boomgaylove[edit]

 Confirmed - no other socks - Alison 07:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! I've blocked and tagged him--it's refreshing to hear there are no others. --jonny-mt 08:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


NewAtThis[edit]

See ANI discussion especially this comment. User's AfDs didn't set off sock bells, just trolling, but the Jovan Smith one did. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 17:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also see earlier discussion at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Boomgaylove, checkuser results from Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Boomgaylove. Wikidemo (talk) 18:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Per User:Dravecky here, see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jason_Jessee and Arbetarbladet for apparent evidence of posting as both NewAtThis and 68.27.12.1. Most damningly, Arbetarbladet had the AfD tag added by 68.27.12.1 but the actual nomination is written up by NewAtThis. - TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 01:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Boomgaylove notes nit-picking about accents on Spanish-language words, see NewAtThis' edits: [10] [11]. Pete.Hurd (talk) 06:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note:' no RfC or suspected sockpuppet report is filed because that would be an undue delay and time sink at this point; there's lots of evidence at ANI that this is User:Qrc2006 / Boomgaylove / etc. Wikidemo (talk) 16:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

<-- Outdent. Mind checking IL!ke2BAn0nym0us (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)} as there seems to be some correlation here as well. (Accents, IL2BA like name, AfD loving) spryde | talk 12:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There have been several users exhibiting the same pattern as NewAtThis cropping up subsequently at AfD (new accounts immediately creating AfDs, some with merit, many without) after NewAtThis's block. Among these are:

I don't know whether my suspicion is sufficient for a CU, but I thought I'd give it a try. Deor (talk) 03:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Three other semi-new accounts that seems to be making similar strange edits in AfDs to some of those mentioned above are...

Bestmanforthegob started an AfD in which he double voted and was supported primarily by Lord Uniscorn. He seems to be exhibiting the aggressive criticism of those he disagrees with as other accounts listed above: [12], [13], and [14]. He was also the subject of an AN thread: [15]. Finally, general odd and unconstructive edits in AfDs includes threatening to have a stroke if the article is kept (it was, by the way), claims that pages stalled his browser, "voting" on topics he does not seem to know about, calling an AfD he started "unusual," not sure what comment he is referring to here, no clear evidence to back up this claim, etc. The last of the three listed above seems to be a single purpose AfD delete only account akin to some of those indicated above. Consider the similar style in a typical KleenupKrew "vote" and a Lord Uniscorn "vote," i.e. the short two or three word "non notable" non argument. Given the rash of confirmed accounts above and the similarities outlined above, I suspect there is some kind of connection. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 08:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Those last 3 are all unrelated to the previous users and to each other. However, these accounts are all the same editor:
  1. Lord Uniscorn (talk · contribs)
  2. Noble Sponge (talk · contribs)
  3. AnteaterZot (talk · contribs)
  4. Only Zuul (talk · contribs)
  5. Aipzith (talk · contribs)
  6. PatrickStar LaserPants (talk · contribs)

-- Thatcher 11:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • MarkBul and ZeroGiga are Red X Unrelated to each other and to the previous users. Knock-Off Nigel is unrelated to all the previous users but is running his own sock farm, including:
  1. Willirennen (talk · contribs)
  2. Moosato Cowabata (talk · contribs)
  3. Dr Tobias Funke (talk · contribs)
  4. Homo Saffien (talk · contribs)
  5. AnnaLogge (talk · contribs)
  6. Lara Dalle (talk · contribs)
  7. Garth Bader (talk · contribs)
  8. Metallicash (talk · contribs)
  9. Knock-Off Nigel (talk · contribs)

Also  Likely that #Jamest54 (talk · contribs) and #Lauren Norton (talk · contribs) are involved, but the evidence is fractionally less strong. Thatcher 02:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK, I have blocked all 9 accounts for Knock-off Nigel listed as confirmed above. I don't have time to look closely at the other two. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am somewhat astonished by how many have turned up so far in this case. Hopefully, we'll be able to nip this in the bud, and I have found two more worth looking at:
  • Red X Unrelated to each other and to all the rest. I think we've reached the end of this request; you're two out of nine in checking general "deletionists. Let's archive this case and if in the future you have specific evidence against specific users you can file a new request. Thatcher 21:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks again! I don't know if any kind of suggestion message should be left per some of those diffs I provided above (such as the one where Kessingler says he's "not a serious Wikipedian" and brushes off a suggestion to sign his posts, i.e. if there may be a different problem worth addressing, but I can't think of any other immediate concerns that can be checked per checkuser at this time. Thanks for bearing with me as I don't have much experience with these sorts of reports (this page and maybe two others that you are of course aware of are the only ones I can think of off hand) and I believe I learned a good deal from them (such as the checkusers only having a limited search time frame) and I think all in all, we have collectively uncovered a significant number of socks and thus done a lot of good for the project during this case. So, I'm not opposed to archiving at this time. Have a wonderful weekend! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 21:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Fine by me - the only other issue I could think of was for the record, was User:AnteaterZot related to User:Eyrian as their language to me was similar having engaged in dialogue with both of them. Not hugely important as both are banned but may be beneficial to the bigger picture. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: Okay, I've went through the userpages, and they all seem to be tagged properly, and blocked. Forgive me if I've missed any, although there were over 50 :) Archiving. Anthøny 02:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boomgaylove[edit]

  • Code letter: F, G
  • Supporting evidence: See archived RFCU case below for specifics on the history of the Boomgaylove socking case. With regards to this new account, the following patterns have been observed:

A quick look through the contributions makes it clear that this user is a sock, but given the past history for mass socking with a ready abundance of sleeper accounts, I'm requesting checkuser to clear the drawer, so to speak. --jonny-mt 04:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, Boomgaylove is not the sockpuppeteer, he is a sockpuppet, the oldest account appears to be Qrc2006, earliest edit dating back to 2006. I'm going to retag those accounts to reflect that. — Save_Us 21:50, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And Grandeventital (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) doesn't exist, but looking through list of account names on Wikipedia, it appears you must have meant Grandeventitall (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). This account needs blocking. — Save_Us 22:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
