Suspected sockpuppets

edit

I'm requesting a CU because these accounts may be related to a larger sock tree. The two accounts are definitely coordinating with each other to get around draftification attempts of promotional articles. Faith Attah created Draft:MC Chido and after DMySon draftified it Krystalgreat recreated it in the mainspace at MC Chido. Another example is Draft:Omosalewa Anikulapo Kuti, which was created Krystalgreat and draftified by Celestina007. After the draft was rejected, Faith Attah created the article under Shalewa Kuti. It is very possible that these ar connected to User:Kolapoimam (sock archive here) given that a sock from that farm (User:St theresa01) also created this article at Draft:Mc Chido.

I completely agree with the assessment of GPL93, I do believe they may be engaging in less than ethical practices, see [1], I furthermore believe they may be a sock of the Nigerian serial sock master/serial abuser by the name of Kolapoimam. Celestina007 (talk) 01:36, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GPL93, thank You for the notification. And i also agreed with you. After two attempts of creating MC Chido by Krystalgreat, i put it for afd. And i am sure these socks are using Wikipedia for advertisement purposes. Please check Draft:Soft (singer), Draft:DJ Kentalky and Portable (singer).

Suspected sockpuppets

edit


For a backstory, the original creator of this article has been indef blocked as a sock of the Nigerian serial master sock editor named Krystalgreat see [2] & see [3].
Now For the crux of this report we observe the aforementioned suspected socks. See the contributions of Rdadebowale an 11 day old editor with his sole purpose of promoting this artist see their contributions [4]. Furthermore see the editor P-cube1994, please see their contributions also, they are only 10 days old but clearly are a single promo for the artist in question. See their contributions [5]. For the third suspected sock Jennifer Okpala, please see their contributions [6]. I believe The suspected master sock is Oneboygreen as they have been here the longest for a year with barely 14 edits, undoubtedly a WP:SLEEPER. You would note in common they are all trying to promote this musician. See contributions [7] note they serve only to promote this artist. If you observe their edit pattern closely you’d see an eerie similar edit pattern coupled with their coincidental choice of topic area.
I believe this to be sock puppetry or meat puppetry. Celestina007 (talk) 17:16, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:DUCK. Recreating articles that previous socks had tried to publish. These include Soft (singer), previously created by sock Krystalgreat and Draft:AJ Entertainment Label, previously created under Draft:AJ Entertainment by sock Jennifer Okpala. This could also be a case of the the subjects finding a new UPE to try to publish their promotional articles or a case of WP:MEAT. GPL93 (talk) 16:12, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Awaiting administrative action - I've compared the versions of these articles created by Celeboyz to those created by Oneboygreen socks. They are similar enough that the only reasonable explanation is that this is either another sock or another UPE working from the same script (i.e. WP:MEAT). I also note similarities to previous socks in the style of edit summaries. Please indef Celeboyz as a suspected sockpuppet of Oneboygreen. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 13:32, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editor recreated Toby Shang which had previously been created by sockpuppet User:Celeboyz. But the article was also recreated by User:DavidEfraim, a sockpuppet with a different sockmaster, but I decided to file it here. Of course, it could be that this "hypeman" Shang could be more well-known or this is the result of paid editing. But I thought I'd file and see what you think. Thank you. Liz Read!

Significant overlap on subjects connected to previous socks. as recreated TolaniBaj (previously Tolani Baj created by Celeboyz). Another creation was Dvpper Music, which was previously created at Draft:Dvpper Music Distribution and had connections to Krystalgreat, which turned out to be part of the same sock farm. Brandon Bliss tried to recreate Bittersweet (St. Seii EP), which was also previously created by (see Draft:Bittersweet (St. Seii EP)) and Dorathy Nnaji created an article on the corresponding artist at St. Seii. There is also significant edit overlap between Dorathy Nnaji and confirmed sock Bob Geelo GPL93 (talk) 16:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Dorathy Nnaji is   Confirmed to Bob Geelo (blocked, tagged as suspected), and looks exactly like Jennifer Okpala (blocked, confirmed sock of Krystalgreat, suspected sock of OneBoyGreen) from the archive. Blocking and tagging accordingly. Brandon Bliss is stale -   Behavioural evidence needs evaluation. Girth Summit (blether) 11:49, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Awaiting administrative action - Brandon Bliss signed up 2022-04-01 17:36:00, Celeboyz on 2022-04-01 17:13:31. See these edits: [10][11]. Also similar edits about award won, quite close in time to Dorathy Nnaji: [12][13]. Compare timecard to Duchess Stanley [14][15]. Add that to the re-creations noted in the original report, and I think it's fairly clear. Please, block Brandon Bliss as suspected. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 21:37, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Roispec recreated Tundenny, which was previously created by sock User:Roibagger (note the similar name). They have also in their short editing career both edited Broda Shaggi. With other sock User:Dorathy Nnaji they share the editing of Phyna. Fram (talk) 16:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proforma record keeping, both already blocked. Both   Technically indistinguishable from master, Digitalageohio in same subject area, Searchalphahorse created to award barnstars to the other sock. Girth Summit (blether) 11:53, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The two accounts, created within months of each other, have contributed heavily to the article Restlezz (musician) and are now involved in the discussion about the article's proposed deletion, offering the same arguments and using the same style of writing. -The Gnome (talk) 10:06, 23 August 2023 (UTC) The Gnome (talk) 10:06, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There might be more (see the last unblock request by Digitalageohio where they admitted creating Searchalphahorse).

Randomwookiemarley was created on 25 April 2023, Digitalageohio was created on 26 April 2023. That’s not all.

A quick glance at their contributions would a similarity of marking edits with "m".

On 8 October 2023, Randomwookiemarley moved Favi (musician) to draftspace. It would be nice to note that Digitalageohio prior to being blocked had made numerous efforts into pushing the Favi article into mainspace.

Mnationonly's contributions [16] are exclusively at Goya Menor and a related song article; Draykaayrg's contribs are exclusively at the latter article. Both articles were created directly to mainspace, one by each user respectively. The articles are poorly sourced and somewhat promotional. Mnationonly asked at the Teahouse about having the page patrolled quickly so that it could appear on Google and seemed very eager for this to happen (four diffs, first [17] and last [18]). This sockmaster previously created that article with similar behavior, though I can't see the deleted version. Draykaayrg had similarly aggressive behavior at the Teahouse [19]. Toadspike [Talk] 19:29, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mnationonly is now at my talk page, still pressing for a review [20]. Toadspike [Talk] 06:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also noticed very similar usage of emoticons. [21][22] Toadspike [Talk] 06:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've now been contacted offwiki by Draykaayrg asking for an article to be patrolled. Someone please help. Toadspike [Talk] 09:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draykaay and Mnationonly are unambiguous sockpuppets of Draykaay, and are blocked. Comparing them with several Oneboygreen sockpuppets, I see a number of points of similarity, including evidence from timing of edits, but not enough to be certain. A CheckUser may help to settle the question, but on the other hand, does it matter, since they are blocked anyway? A clerk will no doubt make a decision on that. JBW (talk) 17:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • CU isn't very helpful for answering that question. Oneboygreen and Draykaay are   Possible to each other by virtue of being in the same large country where everyone is   Possible to each other. I'm not convinced they are the same behaviourally. Going to keep the cases separate for now. Spicy (talk) 18:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
