Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

M Twomey admits it on the talk page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Shazia_Mirza This COI user (subject’s manager) creates various accounts (and edits from various IPs) to repeatedly alter the same information without RS, although every couple of years the birth year changes. There are other editors who alter the same information but these are the accounts he has basically admitted. I guess you can check these to be sure.

Non-overlapping sequential WP:SPAs, obviously the same person but nothing WP:ILLEGIT until Shivadee123 was blocked. Pink clock Awaiting administrative action Please indef SallyH1976 (talk · contribs) as a block evading sock. Cabayi (talk) 11:54, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cabayi: Actually using multiple accounts to edit the same page, or even the same topic area qualifies under "Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts" and "Avoiding scrutiny". Shall we reassess? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 09:53, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DeltaQuad, I was just recently had a block request declined & was told it was pointless to block abandoned accounts (though I can't find the case now).
The editor could conceivably have forgotten the passwords to the first three accounts (MTwomey123 2 Nov 2012, Harkinson3 28 Oct 2016 - 5 Oct 2017, Shivadee123 11-18 Feb 2019) - even UPE scum contributors are allowed to forget their passwords.
Shivadee123 was indef blocked so Sally is a block dodger. If you want to block the earlier two I certainly have no problem with that. Cabayi (talk) 11:13, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DeltaQuad, found it! Cabayi (talk) 20:23, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention, please confirm to the previous non-stale socks. Cabayi (talk) 12:42, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sarahj1246 is very close to Shivadee123 in location...less than 10 miles but using a different device. SallyH1976 is a long way away from the other two. Different continent. Blocking based on behavior.

Their geolocation is similar to other confirmed socks. At least two of the devices are common between this group and other confirmed socks I checked, but the devices are fairly common in general. They use some of the same networks but the networks are very large.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation. The confirmed accounts are  Blocked without tags - clerks please determine whether Sandradea is a new master or a sockpuppet of the group. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:21, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The new behaviour is due to the need to acquire autoconfirmed before being able to massage Shazia Mirza's age down to an acceptable level. Entirely convinced they belong to the MTwomey123 stable. Tagged. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 16:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Same explicit COI on "correcting" Shazia Mirza's info (i.e. reducing her age). Cabayi (talk) 13:30, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
