Suspected sockpuppets


Dragonrap2 seems to have opened a new account as Futurewiki. This is a user who appears to be trying to make constructive edits, but struggles significantly and makes lots of cleanup for those who follow. Dragonrap2's last edit was Oct. 12th, and Futurewiki began soon after. There are 27 edits made to the same fairly obscure articles, such as Winnfield, Louisiana. Dragonrap2 was twice reported to ANI, [1] and [2]. Thank you! Magnolia677 (talk) 00:20, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • This looks like a situation where the user forgot his or her password and just created a new account. None of the edits overlap chronologically and the other account has not been used since the new one was created. I don't believe this is a case of sockpuppetry. I'd recommend that you talk to the user and see if you could help guide them through the editing process. Mike V • Talk 22:08, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Behavioral: Conclusion at previous SPI was that Dragonrap2 probably lost their password. Now that Futurewiki has just been indef blocked, edits resumed at Dragonrap2 with the same kinds of edits in the same subject area: Futurewiki: [3] (new category), [4], [5]. Dragonrap2: [6] (new category), [7]. Edits are in the same area of blocked 123lilbrad sockpuppet Hisrap18 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) [8] • Gene93k (talk) 13:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a pretty clear case of WP:DUCK. And Futurewiki having been blocked for persistent incompetent disruptive editing, Dragonrap2 should be likewise. JohnInDC (talk) 19:10, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can I also suggest (at least) User:Hissrap18 as a sock of User:Dragon Rap221, likewise a sock of our Dragon Rap here? Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 19:21, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name implies sock of User:Futurewiki and User:Futurewiki2, both of whom are sockpuppets of User:Dragonrap2. WP:DUCK Joseph2302 (talk) 21:47, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Editing on templates/articles created by sockmaster Dragonrap2 like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Natchez_Radio&action=history for example. Also an obsession with radio stations like the other socks of Dragonrap2 (in fact the same ones) TypingInTheSky (talk) 05:51, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User shows the same patterns of editing as Dragonrap2 and their sockpuppets, such as creating articles related to Ark-La-Tex including this one, which appears to be a copy of a previously deleted article. User also displays other traits similar to Dragonrap2 and their socks, such as edits focused on Louisiana radio stations and adding links to templates created by Dragonrap2's sockpuppet User:Futurewiki. WXA53 also shares Futurewiki's grammatical peculiarities as seen here. Tdl1060 (talk) 08:06, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets


Behavioral: First edit was to create a user page for blocked sock WXA53 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) [27]. Suspected sock then recreated List of cities, towns, and villages in Ark-La-Tex [28], previously recreated by WXA53 and originally created as List of Cities, Towns and Villages in Ark-La-Tex by Dragonrap2. WXA21 is starting up with the radio templates as previous sockpuppets did. [29] • Gene93k (talk) 07:25, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User restored content that had been added by Dragonrap2's sock Futurewiki, as seen here. User's edits are focused on Louisiana radio stations[30], as Dragonrap2 and their socks have been. User also shares Dragonrap2 and Futurewiki's grammatical peculiarities and shares their obsession with Fairview Alpha, Louisiana, as seen here. Tdl1060 (talk) 23:38, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

IP address similar to previous IP's from Natchitoches, Louisiana. Edits are similar to past edits; please see the edit history at Template:Natchez Radio, where nearly every edit in the past six years has been by one of the socks. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:49, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: This is clearly block evasion. I've blocked 104.243.160.0/20 for 6 months. From what I can tell, the edits that have been made here are constructive, despite being block evasion. So, my recommendation is that at the end of your enforced 6 month vacation, request to be unblocked under WP:Standard offer. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:37, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
