Suspected sockpuppets

All only edit Latif Yahia, deleting any adverse text[1][2][3] however referenced and attracting many warnings including 3RR. Lately, after TVNEWS11 was briefly blocked [4], 81.83.157.57 appeared and was eventually blocked [5]. By that time the block on TVNEWS11 had expired so s/he returned to deleting and was blocked for 7 days[6]. AMA2010 is now deleting [7]. I've not noticed any attempt to differentiate the behaviour of the 2 accounts or the IP. NebY (talk) 20:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above complaint. User:TVNEWS11 has made edits only at Latif Yahia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). In doing so, this user has repeatedly blanked article content ([8][9][10] to name a few) as well as talk page content ([11]) without explanation, earning two blocks already. The IP above displays the same editing behavior during the 48-hour block (article: [12][13][14]; talk, including refactoring others' comments: [15][16]). Since User:TVNEWS11's latest one week block, User:AMA2010, apparently a previously dormant WP:SPA, has resumed editing in the exact same way ([17][18]). I also think this behavior indicates either WP:SOCK or WP:MEAT. JFHJr (㊟) 23:15, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • AMA2010 indefinitely blocked, and block of TVNEWS11 extended to two weeks. Amalthea 14:39, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCK – repeated removal of sourced material critical of the subject, and addition of unsupported material at Latif Yahia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views): [19][20][21] This is similar to previous edits by blocked TVNEWS11 ([22][23]) and blocked sock AMA2010 ([24]). TVNEWS previously created AMA2010 to evade the block (see archive); while both were blocked, Perrynio was created [25]. Note Perrynio claims to be the subject's literary agent [26]. Note also another SPA editor in the edit history apparently connected to the subject's publisher, now also blocked, User:Arcanumpublishing2011: [27][28][29].

  •  Clerk declined - Perrynio has employed a very different tactic (if they are the same) in 'removing' material. Also I'm not seeing what corresponds here in the text that they are trying to get removed. -- DQ (t) (e) 01:51, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Non-admin: Fair enough. Thank you. FWIW, this user has been temporarily blocked under WP:LEGAL. For now, self-identification as the subject's literary agent seems to correlate mostly with the stale account, apparently the publisher (blocked under WP:UN). While a new account name after a WP:UN vio probably should not be taken as a block evasion or sock, might WP:MEAT be applicable to the manner in which multiple WP:SPA, and in this case very clearly WP:COI accounts delete criticism of the subject?

  •  Clerk note: Aforementioned alphabet soup aside, both of these socks are indef blocked right now. If it is meatpuppetry then I'm mildly disinclined to reset the master's block. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 14:51, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
