  • Admin action needed -  Looks like a duck to me. Indeff the sock and block the master for a week. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:12, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've blocked both accounts indefinitely. Deleted edits show that the Sophia Radisch account has been using Wikipedia solely for self-promotion extending back to January 2014.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:16, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

Revealed themselves to be "Sophia Radisch", apparently editing as an IP to circumvent their block. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 17:13, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • 'comment by previously-uninvolved editor 75.108, as I understand things, there are two humans and at least two physical PCs involved here. Human #1 is Sophia, age ~16, from Swansea but currently in Canada doing some kind of film-shoot, she is singer at and also co-owner of RockSolidTalent which is a recording label and promotional agency. Human #2 is Phil, older and located in the UK, who is the manager and co-owner. Neither one understands wiki-policy yet, but Phil has agreed to put me in touch with Sophia (via usertalk) so I can show her the ropes here. I first came into contact with Phil via the IRC channel wikipedia-en-help, also known as 'live help chat' nowadays at WP:Q, when he arrived to ask for help with creating Rock Solid Talent Entertainment and/or Sophia Radisch. After some discussion, we figured out that he is working from 90.199.59.159, which is a PC located in the UK. Apparently, at some point in the past, Sophia may also have used this IP, but at present as of the time of this writing she is in Canada and will thus be using some other as-yet-unknown-IP (Phil says that Sophia forgot her User:Sophia Radisch password). Anyways, the point of my comment here, besides explaining the current status, is that from what we could gather on IRC, Phil was unwittingly logging in as Sophia, today July 29th from the UK, before we finally got him to logout and use 90.199.59.159, which is autoblocked so it can only edit User_talk:90.199.59.159. Presumably this is because she saved her password in the PC in the UK, sometime prior to leaving for Canada to do the filming-stuff. Phil the manager is not very tech-savvy, and had trouble using IRC, and nearly-impenetrable trouble using colons and tildes and other usertalk mechanisms, so he is going to bow out for the moment, and let Sophia communicate with me directly. She is young and will probably be able to learn the wiki-policies without too much trouble, if we can get here to listen for an hour or so. Hope this helps clear up any potential confusion about who belongs to what IP addr. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 19:17, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
