Suspected sockpuppets

Master was softblocked for user name. One replacement account is to be expected. Three is puppetry.

Today User:Seanieboyy123 created an autobiography at ‎Sean Patrick Evans (Actor), which had been deleted and salted under its previous name ‎Sean Patrick Evans via discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sean Patrick Evans. A quick scan of Special:WhatLinksHere/Sean_Patrick_Evans reveals the creators of multiple previous versions, one each. Quack! I've not bothered reporting the IP's since they're stale.

  • Three older account created identical articles, and they are certainly socks, so I blocked them. But, the new article created by Seanieboyy123 is substantially different. So, I can't be sure about them. Older accounts are also stale, so I'm closing this without blocking Seanieboyy123. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:22, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of another Sean Patrick Evans biography, this time at Sean Patrick Evans (performer), with stylistic similarities to versions created by past socks. McGeddon (talk) 12:02, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

More SPA promotion of the work of Sean Patrick Evans and Wizo Productions, this time a straight-to-DVD series A Good Evening With ("Created by: Wizo Productions / Presented by: Sean Evans"). The article was created with a "This article does not cite any sources. (July 2012)" template already in place, suggesting it may be a repost, although I can't find any sign of an earlier version.

Woop! I agree: and concur with the rationale of the requester. After having stumbled upon A Good Evening With it struck me as advertising of some sort. I originally AfD’d it without knowing this investigation was open until looking through the editor in question’s talk page. Wiki-Coffee Talk 23:30, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Blocked and tagged. Very similar behavior to previous socks in the archive. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:12, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Created Wizo Productions and follows same naming convention as prior socks, particularly Stagecoach33. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 16:31, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added a second name, clearly some sort of meat or sock farm as this account came in right as the proxy IP was blocked for continuing to remove afd notices. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 16:51, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the point of this report. Youcansing333 hasn't edited since March 2017, and the other account is already indeffed. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:18, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
