Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Both the users have identical 'User Page' and exactly the same infoboxes-

Both of them do not capitalise first letter of edit summary, adding a few examples:

Nenetarun[3][4][5][6]

Abby1101[7][8][9][10]

Both the users are interested in articles related to Nizam of Hyderabad. [11]

Both have removed tags like 'Citation needed' or 'Unrelible source' on pages related to Nizam of Hydrabad without any discussion with vague edit summaries- Nenetarun[12][13]

Abbey1101- [14]

Both the users often use 'ref' for reference:

Nenetarun [15][16][17][18]

Abby1101[19][20][21][22][23]

Both are removing Maharaj from Maratha related pages citing MOS:HON, MOS:SIR :

Nenetarun [24][25][26][27],

Abby1101[28][29]

Both use Hotcat for adding categories, Abby1101 was able to use it despite being new on Wiki :

Nenetarun [30][31]

Abby1101[32][33]

There was one more account, but I don't remember the name. I will post it once I am able to recall it.Akshaypatill (talk) 07:50, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Likely a disruptive sock of some banned editor. Using IP address to restore his edits. [34][35], [36][37]. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 19:12, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Pink clock Awaiting administrative action - please indef all accounts listed above; it's fairly obvious that all of these are the same person. The range 2406:B400:D5::/48 (talk+ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · spi block · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)), despite its size, seems to have been used near-exclusively by this sockmaster since at least May (see e.g. edits to user sandbox, overlap here and here); please block it for two months (anon-only, account creation blocked).

No tags for now, since this will need to be merged to WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Nenetarun. Spicy (talk) 17:00, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User name is a spoof of User:HistoryofIran whom they are reverting. This is similar to confirmed sock Ohnoitsfoxie, which was a spoof of User:Ohnoitsjamie.

This account has similar edit summaries, does not behave new, and reinstated sock Sethia000's edits that were reverted.

There is a chance this is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ZemenfesKidus, as they voted Keep in their 6th edit on an article created by a confirmed sockpuppet there, However the attached accounts and account creation timing (08:38) and first edit (08:40) being before the AfD nomination (08:41) make me think that's a false trail.

  • Hi, User:GeneralNotability, I am fairly familiar with how Nenetarun edits. I was the one who reported his sockpuppetry a few months ago. Historicalfacts000 quacks like Nenetarun. I am sure they are the same person. Akshaypatill (talk) 09:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Same ISP, different devices. I'm inclined to say this isn't Nenetarun. Wrong country for ZemenfesKidus. I'm getting strong "somebody's sock" vibes from Historicalfacts, but couldn't tell you whose. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:14, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reported user hasn't edited since 2 July. Don't disagree that they may very well be a sock of somebody, but it remains unclear who that may be. no Closing without action at this time. --Jack Frost (talk) 09:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Past accounts are  Stale, but this account is  Possible based on CU log data.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation. Note that I do see Portwoman operating a second account, but I'll not share its name unless someone decides that Portwoman == Nenetarun (since I don't see obvious inappropriate use of multiple accounts here) GeneralNotability (talk) 20:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Blocked. This was the SPI I was looking for when reading the ANI. I picked up the other account, as well. Jewishblood, for the record. Courcelles (talk) 16:03, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • They're using different IPs from last time, but the behavioural evidence presented is convincing. Don't see any other accounts. Girth Summit (blether) 12:22, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

The text, "The Sword of Tipu Sultan - a web series on Tipu Sultan" was added by User:Indianjewme - see this diff and User:Goodfacts666 edits the same - see this

His sock User:Nenetarun mentions personal attack just like User:Goodfacts666 - see this diff for use by the former and this for use by the latter.

In one of her first few edits, Goodfacts666 uses WP:Hotcat which isn't something a new user would know about - see this, this and this and earlier, User:Nenetarun has also used WP:Hotcat - see this diff and this much like User:Goodfacts666


Goodfacts666 has made just a little more than 200 edits but it is difficult for me to believe that a new user can do this, this or this.

Also, this is a diff of her ability to auto-collapse sections in the Template:Sikh_Empire template which certainly a new user cannot do.
This and this are other diffs of her collapsing text.
In this diff, she has added an, "Unreferenced" tag which new users would not even know about.
In this diff she tells another user that pinkvilla is not a reliable source as per WP:RS which I think a new user would not be aware of.Haani40 (talk) 03:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
