Suspected sockpuppets

An IP range was recently blocked with the comment that it may have been used by AFolkSingersBeard (see here). Since then, this account was registered and continues to make similar, sometimes the same, edits as past socks. For example, the IP made this edit, this new account made the same edit here. The new user also repeatedly posts to talk pages without indentation or signing (see [1], [2], [3]), much like the IP and past socks ([4], [5]) nableezy - 15:01, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unrelated by technical evidence? Given the past use of anonymizing services, I wasnt expecting a technical match. But I think the behavioral evidence suggests that this user is the same as the past IP (who I thought was Ledenierhomme). nableezy - 15:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, an IP that located to Hong Kong, though I see it as a proxy, made the same edit as this user on David Cesarani ([6]). If it is this user, that is also using a sock to avoid the 1RR. nableezy - 15:37, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, unrelated by technical evidence. The IP being used does not appear to be a proxy and the computer is different as well. Checkuser info is just a small piece of a bigger picture, though. The final decision should be left to the reviewing admin. TNXMan 15:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would bet money that this user is the same as EscEscEsc (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). Same behavior, same format in talk page comments. The cycle goes as follows: register an account, make a collection of reverts, abandon account. Rinse, repeat. nableezy - 23:43, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Behavioural evidence does not seem overwhelming to me. I may be completely wrong, but it doesn't seem that Red Stone Arsenal is a sock to me. Regards, MacMedtalkstalk 22:33, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see, Red Stone Arsenal appears Red X Unrelated to AFolkSingersBeard. TNXMan 15:25, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: I don't really think they're the same. Having said that, I've opened another case regarding Red Stone Arsenal. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:37, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Page history for an article under Palestine-Israel articles scope, United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, shows possible use of logged out account in order to circumvent the sanctions given at WP:ARBPIA (specifically, the 1RR remedy). I request this SPI as it relates to a current AE request. - Penwhale | dance in the air and follow his steps 08:23, 1 August 2011 (UTC) - Penwhale | dance in the air and follow his steps 08:23, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The edits by LouisDesaix (talk · contribs) indicate a connection to Ledenierhomme. I have thought for some time that the sockmasters Ledenierhomme/AFolkSingersBeard/OpinionsAreLikeAHoles are all one person. One set of accounts focuses on articles such as Expédition d'Irlande and Rights of Englishmen, the others are mostly just trolling Roland, myself, and a few other accounts for reasons I have not yet been able to wrap my head around. nableezy - 15:26, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This looks very likely to me. These socks certainly appear to target Nableezy and me, reverting even innocuous edits in an attempt to drag us into edit wars. This sock farm has caused much drama, with one editor being cautioned for her temerity in raising the matter, and the admin who cautioned her then being admonished for this. It really is about time that we found a way to put an end to this abuse. RolandR (talk) 15:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following edits are attacks on myself and User:Malik Shabazz that are very similar to those on myself and Malik Shabazz by the recently blocked Sockpuppet of User:AFolkSingersBeard using the name User:JerryDavid89; that user also had this recent Arbitration Enforcement Action under WP:ARBPIA: Wikipedia:AE#JerryDavid89 with similar details.

  • I've blocked Sarkhan for being disruptive and a potential sockpuppet per WP:DUCK. It's clear that they're not a new account. However, I'm also endorsing to confirm this, as well as to find any sleepers. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:52, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No, Mr. Vol is actually JarlaxleArtemis. --Bsadowski1 10:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. Well... wonderful. It's blocked anyway, so I guess we can close this case... — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:37, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The account and IP have been making the same edit as past AFolkSingersBeard socks, such as this by RonaldMerchant, this by the IP which is nearly the same as this by AFSB. Additionally, the user and IP make similarly offensive comments to others, such as this and this. The user also instructs others not to edit-war, while, ironically, edit-warring. See for example this edit summary and this edit summary. Nableezy 08:18, 19 August 2011 (UTC) nableezy - 08:18, 19 August 2011 (UTC) 08:18, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No comment on the IP, but based on technical data and behavior, RonaldMerchant is a  Likely match to the accounts in the archive. TNXMan 14:09, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

At this diff I undid this problematic edit by JerryDavid89, identified as sock of AFolkSingersBeard; all three of the above reverted back to the former edit here; here; and here. Plus I just noticed the CMDC as first four letters of the "user name" and this sock was engaged in edits on a couple of articles I worked on. After his last ban, he vandalized my User page numerous times, created User names with my name in them, and sent lots of nasty emails. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is obvious that these are Ledenierhomme, which is the same person as AFolkSingersBeard and those socks, which is the same as ZionistSufi and those socks. All of these should be combined into the category socks of Ledenierhomme. nableezy - 20:35, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These should also be linked to User:REmmet1984, a confirmed puppeteer who is clearly another Ledenierhomme puppet. There are other confirmed puppeteers who are also very obvious Ldh puppets. RolandR (talk) 16:24, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have been harassed on my talk page by the sock User:Sillystuff84. In view of similarity of content I wonder if Bhny is another sock. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC).[reply]

  • Unless there is a more recently-active sock for Ledenierhomme than RFI2013, this is  Inconclusive. AGK [•] 11:25, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's fine, I worked out what you meant to say :). This is still technically  Inconclusive; sorry I can't be of more use. AGK [•] 12:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've  Relisted this, in case another CU wants to take a whack at it. I fear I may be missing something, and I don't have time to check more thoroughly at the moment. AGK [•] 12:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
