Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

This sock has the same style of edit summaries/writing as the sockmaster, the same interests (FC Barcelona/Catalonia) and at the FC Barcelona page "Déu-n'hi-do" restored the version of the sockmaster. This sock is one of the user's many during the last 1,5 months (following Pròssia, ONLY-BARCELONA, A Crocodile in Bed, Omphebra, Blow.ofmind78, and possibly many more). This new sock also seems to understand that by making small edits, one can easily rack up the amount needed to edit certain semi-protected articles, such as the FC Barcelona one (achieved by making small edits such as these: [1], [2]).

  • Comment: I'm familiar with a couple of the socks of this account, and after perusing the edits, I agree: the behavior is the same. Absolutely a sock of the same person. Fred Zepelin (talk) 18:52, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • also: this edit to my talk page cites no less than 10 Wikipedia policy pages (including a couple I didn't even know existed, so thanks for that!) all neatly linked to corresponding phrases in their attack post on my talk. Yet, the account was created a mere 19 days ago. Fred Zepelin (talk) 17:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely). I'm afraid that's the best I can do here. Behavioural evidence needs evaluating and I'll leave that to another admin. --Yamla (talk) 13:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A relatively new account with the same writing style (very similar edit summaries for example), same interests (e.g., FC Barcelona) as the sockmaster and previous socks. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 13:07, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Mucchia claims to be "neutral", but threw his toys out of the pram on my talk page. Very ironically, this user also wrote "vandalic", which is an odd and non-English word, as was noted earlier by Fred Zepelin, a word which has been used by several of his socks.
