Well, I think someone beat you to the punch, as they're both blocked right now. Since the SPI bot is down, Im not sure this SPI is even going to get seen ... is there some way we can archive it or does it have to be at least looked over as a matter of process? -- Soap Talk/Contributions 02:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does policy allow really really obvious socks to be reported to AIV or to an administator's talkpage, rather than giving them a proper SPI? I get a feeling that XXV just gets a kick out of seeing this page grow longer and longer. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 01:08, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly, although AIV would not be that great a place, unless the account is vandalising, and you want to be careful that you aren't going to the same admin over and over, or just going to random uninvolved admins, however, in principal, there's no need to file an SPI if the sock is exceedingly obvious (or vandalizing enough to justify a block).

The account's first edit was to an re-AfD. the earlier AfD was previously voted in by a sock of Editor XXV, and the discovery that said account (Divebomb) was a sock changed the original outcome and then led to the AfD being listed on deletion review. Noticeably,it was commenting on the sockpupppeting and deletion issues of the Transformers WikiProject with what appears to be quite extensive knowledge for a new user. Extensive knowledge of Wikipedia seems to also be a tell-tale sign of Editor XXV socks. Their "good hand" account was suspected to be one because of their suspicious amount of knowledge on WP. [3] Also, the suspected sock's user page contains a "Native of X" phrase, the likes of which seem to be a trait for Editor XXV socks. (like this) Also, user has made this edit to the SPI for another sockmaster that's been disrupting the Transformers Wikiproject. [4] NotARealWord (talk) 21:36, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be the same activity as Editor XXV does. Joined and immediately started voting in Transformers deletion nominations. Could also be one of several other Transformers targeting sock masters, but I'm guessing this one from his wording. Mathewignash (talk) 22:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Started a new account with working on Transformers deletions and mergers with this XXV usually dwells. Very suspecious activity for a new user. Mathewignash (talk) 09:23, 10 February 2011 (UTC) I had reverted some work done by XXV's sock puppet named User:Divebomb, which this user has seen to revert. I suggest he not only be blocked/banned, but his edits reverted as vandalism. (this is user Mathewignash). 198.51.174.5 (talk) 12:59, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This investigation is nothing short of a farce. Simply because I choose to begin my editing under this new account (see WP:CLEANSTART) by editing Transformers-related topics does not mean I am some vandal I have never heard of before.! --The Circle That Must Be Broken (talk) 09:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(alright, back to the investigation) Mathewignash reverted valid redirects that just happened to be made by a banned user. I reinstated them. That does not make me him.

I see this as nothing more than an attempt to get someone who has performed an action Mathewignash takes issue with into trouble, which he has done before. --The Circle That Must Be Broken (talk) 13:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Funny thing is I started this investigation BEFORE you started reinstating Divebombs edits, which only proves I am probably correct in who you are. Of course there about about 4 different sock puppeteers who frequent the Transformers articles. You could be any of them in the end. 198.51.174.5 (talk) 13:59, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC, Editor XXV and Wiki brah are on separate continents; the UA and location more closely match Editor XXV than Wiki brah by quite a bit and, especially after looking at the behavioral evidence, has tagged as such. And no, WP:CLEANSTART does not apply when you try to evade scrutiny and continue editing in the same areas in which you have been blocked in the past before. There is also WP:BAN to deal with on top of that. –MuZemike 03:14, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On 17 February 2011, an ANI report in several single purpose accounts and one IP involved in an article naming dispute were blocked as sockpuppets. Now, another SPA, Neimoidian, has posted to the naming dispute.[5] This statement, "Now, as for your claim that I have made no argument, it is false, as I have made many arguments." is very clear that the new SPA is the same as those that were blocked for sockpuppetry. —Farix (t | c) 12:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sockmaster is singularly obsessed with this one subject, called Leo Prime. It would be nice to find out if the guy's on a stable IP or small IP range so his disruptive behavior could be permanently stopped. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:46, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Among the 3 edits made by today's sock (Neimodian) is to label another already-blocked editor as a sockmaster. He might be trying to drop a hint as to who he is, or he might be trying to send us on a wild goose chase. He also filed a presumably frivolous SPI against another editor who's part of the Leo Prime debate. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If he's not a sock, another sock puppeteer whose sympathetic with XXV (possibly user Divebomb), as after I reverted his edits, he contacted me on a message board threatening to use his socks to get his way on his edits here.

  • This page should really be here, I think. —GƒoleyFour— 00:14, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Um, hello. I'm not a sock puppet of Editor XXV, I've even gone against his proposal for deletion on the David Willis (cartoonist) article. I just share the viewpoint in regards to bootlegs not being sufficiently notable for inclusion on Wikipedia Transformers pages. I have a load of edits to my repertoire that do not match his typical behavior. Also, MathewIgnash should know me better, as we've interacted on both TFWiki and the Allspark, where I go by the name "Detour". As for the similar edits, it was my curiosity that brought me there, as Editor XXV gloated about his deletion nomination on TFWiki, and I ended up taking a peek at his contributions. And lastly, I would like to point out I've been contributing on and off to Wikipedia without problems since 2006. --Hiryu84 (talk) 00:21, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I was sent a threatening personal message on the Allspark by someone named Beta Command, not Detour, seeming to be this wikipedia user. Is Hiryu84 the same person as Beta Command or not? Anyways, as for the inclusion of coverage from non-Hasbro products in Transformers related articles, I've recomended this be proposed in the Transformers Wikipedia project, where we can talk about it. DOn't just do in and delete it all because you decided it's not right. Mathewignash (talk) 01:06, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, Beta Command is -Blackout-'s Allspark username. My Allspark username, again, is Detour. You've met me. As for the conflict, even before I was made aware of this I'd been discussing the matter on the Wikipedia IRC help channel to avoid edit warring, and have since started something on the subject at the Wikiproject TF page. --Hiryu84 (talk) 01:16, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets

This request is a bit backwards. I ran a checkuser on Frangfl (talk · contribs), who is requesting an unblock from an IP address blocked as a proxy (see user's talk page). When checking the IP address, I noticed a large number of accounts that shared the same useragent. These accounts are listed above. Note that Robot With A Mind Of Its Own (talk · contribs) is already blocked as a sock of Editor XXV; given the  Likely to  Confirmed checkuser result, I'd like some others to take a look at behavioral evidence and possibly a second look by a checkuser - I don't have time at the moment to do more than check the blocked IP.

Again, to clarify, all of these accounts have been using the same IP address with the same useragent. This IP address is currently under a six-month block as an abused proxy. Hersfold (t/a/c) 17:12, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Extra note: the timestamp ranges shown are when each account was active on that IP address. Hersfold (t/a/c) 17:16, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So... what's the deal here? I'm not really convinced by behavior on this one, so I'm inclined to close. Anyone else? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:04, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets


This user seemed to join a few weeks ago and immedately displayed interest in sock puppetry and deletion, playing he asking for help in SPIs, giving helpful advice that seems to be trying to get credit for his other puppets, PRODing articles that he always shows interest in, and following my edits to make his. Now he happens to find this SPI and makes a comment on it? Mathewignash (talk) 14:16, 25 June 2011 (UTC) Mathewignash (talk) 14:16, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Harassing edits for the deletion nomination for the article Slugslinger by a new user. I first suggested another sock master, then it was suggested to me that this sounded more like XXV. Mathewignash (talk) 23:54, 5 September 2011 (UTC) Mathewignash (talk) 23:54, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's bloody obvious that this is either Editor XXV or Wiki brah (talk · contribs); in any case, I have blocked. –MuZemike 00:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
