Suspected sockpuppets[edit]


User:Sattari Malda created Sattari,_Malda. User Sattari Malda user page redirects to that article. User:Jiam Momin redirect to Jiam Momin, both of which have been created by Sattari Malda. Finally article, Jiam Momin, states, "Welcome to my user page. Hi, I m Jiam Momin I m a student of class (xi) at Sattari High School from Sattari Malda.I like social media & I like edit Wikipedia." Not only is this likely sockpuppetting, but also a fundamental misunderstanding of how Wikipedia (user) articles function. 1, 2, 3.

Repeatedly creating and editing the same promotional articles, random moves with the same nonsensical edit summary ("its help for common people") [1] [2] [3], general promotional and competence issues. Sockmaster was previously blocked for 1 week, and I warned them about using multiple accounts here, after which the sock returned. Bradv 15:33, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say this passes WP:DUCK although I am surprised that this time the sock chose what's probably his actual name as his username this time. The new article is substantially the same (although not identical) to previously deleted ones. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:23, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • information Administrator note This is an absolute DUCK case, and I had in fact already blocked Momin01 before I saw this report. This sockpuppeteer has repeatedly evaded blocks by using new sockpuppets, and is therefore site banned, in accordance with Wikipedia:Banning policy#Bans for repeated block evasion.

Similar edits to Sattari, Malda and Sattari Jame Mosque. In the one case, the username is obvious. Bradv🍁 14:59, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Adding Jamemosque do this nomination as well. All of these, and all of the socks in the archive, are focused on these two articles, as well as a couple of deleted promotional articles that they seem to have given up on. Let me know if you need more information, but I believe it's pretty straightforward. Bradv🍁 05:39, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User making edits / attempting page move of Sattari, Malda and Sattari in same vein as Sockpuppeter and many of their Sockpuppets. e.g. [9] Spike 'em (talk) 14:00, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The main editting crossover I noticed is with User:Newpara and User:Samsungz2m, both of whom are blocked socks of Jiam Momin.Spike 'em (talk) 15:34, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Compare this talk page edit with this one or this page move with this one (mentioned above) The user has spammed mine and CambridgeBayWeather's talk pages trying to get more of these page moves done. Spike 'em (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Or this edit with this one and this one.

While looking at the account that was checked, I saw two more:
I don't think I'm supposed to add them to "suspected" after a CU has already ruled. However, those two accounts have substantially similar contributions to multiple pages, see for example Bareilly Sharif Dargah, Binodpur Gram Panchayat. I'm still investigating, but I'll likely block all three. ST47 (talk) 16:59, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
information Administrator note Okay, these are the only three I can find for now. The re-creation of Patharchapuri Dargah Sharif with the same content as a previous sock and the extensive editing of pages previously created by socks like Sattari_Jame_Mosque is pretty damning. All three will be  Blocked and tagged, and I'm going to be deleting a number of articles as well as being created by a blocked/banned user. ST47 (talk) 17:04, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done speedying the pages that have now been obviously created by socks, didn't find any more suspicious accounts that are still active, recommending closure. ST47 (talk) 17:35, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Another user account was kind enough to present themselves on my talk page. JMcreation (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki) The lack of any substantial prior history, the interest in multiple articles that they never contributed to (user has 0 deleted contribs), and the username (I wonder what JM stands for) made me decide to block. I probably should have opened a new check for JRhistory and RJ3492 earlier, but I didn't realize that they'd be back so soon. I'll let a clerk or CU decide whether to check JRhistory, RJ3492, or JMcreation for sleepers. ST47 (talk) 05:44, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Additional information needed - All the socks in the archive are stale, so the CU request is  Clerk declined. If you want us to conduct a more thorough behavioral review: In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. 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.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. 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. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:57, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
