Report submission by

• Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Evidence

• Plantended and THFFF started editing on the same day.
• Group voting on these AFD's:
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tiffany Holiday
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maya Ababadjani
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doron Sabag (2nd nomination)
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girls At The Cairo National Stadium (3rd nomination)

Comments

• This case may be related to User:Haham hanuka, who also has a lot of interest in pornography, and Tiffany Holiday in particular (edited an article about her in his sandbox, now deleted - User:Haham hanuka/Tiffany Holiday). He also fought to delete articles related to the users Shmila, Nimrod Kamer (blocked) and Marina T. (blocked), even if their subjects were reasonably notable, much like NZQRC, THFFF and Plantended. See:
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maayan Strauss
  • [1]
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ari Libsker
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doron Sabag (also in the AFD list above)
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girls At The Cairo National Stadium (also in the AFD list above)
• Very likely related to the anonymous users that massively deleted links to Bracha L. Ettinger (also related to Marina T.). See:
  • Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive470#Likely Open Proxy IPs blanking information about Bracha L. Ettinger possible Marina T. sock.
• Phaseangry joined Wikipedia after the case was opened and immediately marked User:Marina T.'s page as "indefblocked", which is quite pointless, as it was already deleted for the exact same reason, but shows the weird obsession with Marina T., shared with the other suspects here. Plus, Phaseangry sounds very similar to Plantended.
• YYOOYY joined Wikipedia after the case was opened and immediately made some cosmetic fixes in interwiki links to he: - a good thing, but unlikely for a newcomer and very characteristic of Haham Hanuka - and then went to !vote on the Doron Sabag AFD.

Comment: I'm not a sockpuppet, in fact I'm a sysop in he.wiki (I don't want to reveal my name). I believe most of the user here are Israeli. I was invited to vote on Kamer's article on the he.wiki. So I believe many of the voters here come from he.wiki. I vote on many AfD's. I've a proof that I'm not a sockpuppet: I'm using Linux. Probably the rest of the users here are using Windows (Linux is not a common OS). So checkuser can show that we use a different OS. --Qwerty1234 (talk) 09:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

This is only a guess, but i find it rather unusual that a sysop in he.wiki would be so enthusiastic about porn:

• Silvia Saint
• Silvia saint
• Azlea Antistia
• Maya Ababadjani

(Explanation: he.wiki is strongly anti-porn.) --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I write about porn in en.wiki because I'm not "allowed" to write about porn in he.wiki. Writing about porn doesn't make someone a sockpuppet. Qwerty1234 (talk) 11:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I concur with Amir E. Aharoni. The subjects of interest, the editting profile, even the English style are suggestive of the troll Haham hanuka. I am one of the sysops on HE:WP, and am very doubtful this is one of the sysops there. I believe any sysop would have been editting under his/her own username, without reverting to sock puppets. I suggest to ban Qwerty1234 and any associated puppets. Odedee (talk) 16:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

What is a sock puppet?? I'm from the Hebrew Wikipedia. --YYOOYY (talk) 13:03, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

This sockpuppet, which presents itself as an editor in HE WP, has made fewer than 10 edits there, some of which were disruptive, and is now banned from HE WP. Odedee (talk) 11:30, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

No, YYOOYY it's not my user name at he.wiki. Odedee, read this article. It may save your life. --YYOOYY (talk) 10:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

...And a personal attack, too. Enough of that, i'm blocking y'all. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 12:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Conclusions

I blocked all the accounts for apparent socking, revert wars and personal attacks. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 12:31, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
