Suspected sockpuppets


These users have heavily edited Marilou McPhedran and related articles, including Annette Trimbee and University of Winnipeg. They have accussed others of vandalism and misogyny [1][2] while removing valid maintenance templates and adding more or less subtle falsehoods to articles: [3]"Composting organ waste"?[4][5][6] The most obvious connection is that between Peachey Deen and Dean of Nectarines, made worse by the fact that there is a professor named Dean Peachey at the University of Winnipeg. I have no idea whether this is sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, and I have blocked most of the above accounts for individual reasons, but this concerted attack needs to be stopped, and a check for sleepers seems warranted.

I've added Stopphippo whom I had considered inactive but who went on a reverting spree [7][8][9] with the same tired accusations of editor misconduct as the others. Huon (talk) 15:15, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And another obvious sock. Huon (talk) 16:01, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Editing the same page as before (The TRPoD faker actually vandalized the SPI archive), plus the offensive names directed at users they've run into before. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 04:32, 5 October 2014 (UTC) Howicus (Did I mess up?) 04:32, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Same pattern of attack-username, immediately jumped up to re-revert editors who cleaned up behind previous socks (and then reversion-spree against those editors' other edits). Duck-blocked as obvious. DMacks (talk) 05:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Duck-blocked, same as previous. DMacks (talk) 06:12, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent history at University of Winnipeg has a few others as well. Not sure protecting it will solve the actual "problem" here, vs being a nice honey-pot. DMacks (talk) 06:16, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've just blocked these 7 accounts for both vandalism and abusing multiple accounts. I've protected a couple of the biographies being targeted. I thought a checkuser should take a look for confirmation, sleepers, and any range blocks. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:46, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All blocked by DMacks per WP:DUCK. Time for a sleeper check, I'd say. Huon (talk) 10:37, 6 December 2014 (UTC) Huon (talk) 10:37, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All the above accounts are blocked for similarly juvenile or abusive usernames and/or similar edits related to University of Winnipeg. Check for sleepers please, and see if there's a rangeblock.

Thank you to Thomas W above. I thought it was absolutely immediately obvious from the diffs, given the edit histories of this new editor and the sockpuppets of the master. [10] and [11] and [12] and [13] and [14] enough? Stephenb (Talk) 12:02, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:23, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
