Suspected sockpuppets

COI sock/meat puppets with same goals [1] [2] [3], arguments, language patterns, and editing history engaged in trying to delete and/or modify the article Samira Samii. See the AFD discussion and article talk page. Vrac (talk) 15:49, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've added 2 more IPs and Worldchampion2014 (talk · contribs), who may actually be the sockmaster. He/she had previously disrupted the article and was indefinitely blocked for making legal threats at 12:13, 8 January 2015. The next day 91.39.92.182, took up where Worldchampion2014 had left off, followed by 91.39.68.13. On 10:18, 11 January 2015 the Jasmin-Shams account was created and finds to his/her dismay that the article had been semi-protected and starts complaining on various user talk pages. On 18:45, 12 January 2015 MaxXXX-max registers an account and posts almost identical messages on the user talk pages and then at the AfD. I suspect this group may be a mix of sock and meat puppets, and suggest a checkuser be run, particularly since block evasion appears to be involved.

While all of the registered users listed have significant difficulty in writing and comprehending English, they make often identical mistakes, e.g. spelling "message" as "massage". MaxXXX-max, Jasmin-Shams and "deletion" as "delectation" MaxXXX-max, Jasmin-Shams.
See also the infelicitous use of "wanna":
"She doesn't wanna have this page" (Worldchampion2014)
"The fact is someone wanna damage her reputation" (MaxXXX-max)
"... Samira Samii wanna have a control on her page" (Jasmin-Shams).

And finally, all three of the users registered after Worldchampion2014's block use fake time stamps rather than ~~~~ at the AfD. Note that Jasmin-Shams tried to sign by copy-pasting the signature of another non-related participant in the AfD (NickCT) and then amending it, but left the "CT" [4]. MaxXXX-max does the same thing [5]. Ditto MarcoR 1 Silar [6]. Voceditenore (talk) 18:05, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments[edit]

information Administrator note This looks to me very much like sockpuppetry, and I am close to blocking on behavioural evidence alone, but I would be grateful for a CheckUser to be sure, so I am requesting one.
