Suspected sockpuppets


He has been making many disruptive edits as 911plantisimo before on many Viva Rapid Transit bus route pages, and was called out on it, being banned for 24 hours. After the ban, that account went stale and he created the new account, Vivabusmarkham. At first, the name already implies his likes, but he continued to do the same acts as his previous accounts, with his work being reverted by numerous users. His information is almost always sourced from the Canadian Public Transportation Discussion Board, which is also a wiki page, he even proves that he uses it on his talk page, and uses it as "proof" for other users. Alexhead8835 (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a new account "Tobaccofanatic" just opened up right after the original report was made, and the account immediately went onto Viva Purple. The first edit of the user page seemed to be a desperate attempt to throw off other users, writing:

"I love smoking Tobacco and Marijuana!! I live in Cincinnati, Ohio."

These are links to some edit wars that he created:

I have also added a new user, "Meleegreatbay." Another obvious sock of Hum1969.

 Clerk note: All accounts indeffed and tagged based on very obvious duck. I looked into the edits of all the accounts deeper than the evidence presented by Alex, and the similarities were striking, both in articles, content, and style. There was an intersection of interest in articles that had nothing to do with public transportation. I thought briefly about requesting a CU for sleepers but decided we'd start here and see if anything happens in the future.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:56, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He attempted to clear the report and report archive for Hum1969, I have also talked to him on the IP's talk page to make sure it was him, which obviously it was. This is already the fourth time Hum1969 has created new accounts and action. All of his other accounts have also received indefinite bans. Alexhead8835 (talk) 02:41, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doopliss1983 is also an obvious sock puppet of Hum1969, as seen from his user contributions, as well as his random comment on this page. Alexhead8835 (talk) 02:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23:, I'm sorry, but there isn't any other proof that I can provide, other than intersection of article interest, and that single comment. All the other times, article interest was enough to prove him guilty. Alexhead8835 (talk) 22:06, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 Clerk note: @Alexhead8835: I need evidence in the way of diffs that show a connection between Doopliss and the master or a confirmed puppet. You have a habit of not providing that evidence. The "innocent user" comment here isn't enough. I need something other than intersection of article interest. You don't need to provide anything further for the IP; it's obvious. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:07, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk endorsed. I've blocked the IP for two weeks based on duck. I don't agree that the other socks were blocked based only on intersection of interest (look at the archive and my notes). However, based on the intersection of interest and that one edit here, I am endorsing a CU.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:31, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

These users both have the same editing style, using no references and creating edit wars, such as [2]. They edit the exact same pages, and have been blanking both this page and the archive for this page[3]. They have already created many other sock puppets that have been blocked.

 Clerk endorsed. I was about to block Acerdellrules1961 when another admin blocked as VOA (although no one provides diffs, I found an exact match between Acerdellrules1961 and the master on a particular page). I've tagged the user page. I blocked the IP for disruption. That leaves only Trinity98789, and a CU would be helpful at this point.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk endorsed. I've blocked the most active IP for one month. I've semi-protected Toronto Transit Commission fleet for a week. The named account is clearly disruptive and most probably a sock, but because they haven't yet edited any articles, I'd like confirmation.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:50, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The named account vandalized this page repeatedly. It escaped my notice because I was busy clerking another case. Another administrator correctly blocked the account. My preference is to still run the CU, but it's up to whoever looks at this.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:12, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Similar edit interests and edit style of the sock master, who has created numerous socks (as seen in the archive). They are also constantly trying to move the Toronto Transit Commission fleet page to a new one, in order to avoid the semi-protection, which was put in place to stop Hum1969 from continuing his vandalism. [4], [5], and here's him trying to change the links [6] Alexhead8835 (talk) 00:05, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user (User:Hum1969) changes his IPs to edit un-speculative entries for the Toronto Transit Commission fleet and other transit themed articles. A possible ban of this user and IPs will help and a Long term abuse investigation is executed.

See user's contributions - changing tag in previously blocked users for socking to {{delete}}. Evidence looks like sockpuppet activity to me.

Procedural report for tracking purposes only. Dmbs223 created Highway 401/410/403 Interchange -- another article related to Transportation in Toronto -- then attempted to repeatedly to blank/tag for speedy deletion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Highway 401/410/403 Interchange.[8] After being initially blocked for disruptive editing, admitted in the unblock request that he was Hum1969.[9]. This sock has now been blocked indefinitely. However Highway 401/410/403 Interchange has not been speedy deleted yet under WP:G5 since other editors appear to have made substantial edits.

First edit for each was a rant [10] [11] on the AFD for an article created by a recent sock. Second or early edit for each was to the identical vandalization of the sockpuppetry notice on a recent sock's page [12] [13].. 9691muH already blocked as vandalism-only but added for evidence since self admitted to being a sock of Hum1969 [14] and behaviour is very similar to the new sock.

And NemoLord666 has now self-admitted to being a sock of Hum1969 [15] while creating a bogus complaint about editors who wave interacted with him. Previous accounts have made similarly unfounded accusations against experienced editors. Meters (talk) 22:01, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
