Suspected sockpuppets


Turgeis has been editing articles adding considerable copyvio, particularly from The Peninsular War: A New History By Charles Esdaile. He stops, Ceiscoran beings a few minutes later with a user page [1] identical to Turgeis's[2]. Ceiscoran continues to edit Peninsular War using the same source.[3]. Even more unlikely, both are editing a template created by Turgeis, Template:Government type as well as Merchant republic which was a redirect until these two editors appeared. They are also both editing Noble republic. It isn't a coincidence that both of these phrases appear in the strategy game Europa Universalis.[4]. See WP:ANI#Editor(s) adding categories from strategy games to articles. After they are told about the ANI discussion, Creakness arrives. Note Creakness's edit to his talk page[5], Ceiscoran's[6] and Turgeis's[7] - probably enough for WP:DUCK but I'd like a check for sleepers. Dougweller (talk) 16:04, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A number of the edits seem to be being made only to add links to government types from the strategy game, eg Creakness's[8] - see [9]. Dougweller (talk) 16:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Noting that 187.15.40.161 (talk · contribs) is the same editor adding the same edits as a couple of the accounts. Dougweller (talk) 18:29, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

  • Might also check 187.15.83.166 since it attempted to roll back a copyvio flag.[10] -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:29, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regarding the likelies, I'd suggest the user pages might be quacking, but I'm in no way accustomed to make such judgement calls. MLauba (Talk) 16:35, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
