Suspected sockpuppets

Per standard Ineedtostopforgetting we now have retribution accounts as a result of the above discussion. @Jurtaa: I apologize for you having to pick up much of this mess, I hope this provides some explanation of the why and the who. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:44, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further, if someone could revdel [1] under WP:CRD 2/3 that would be for the best. CMD (talk) 04:50, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This one is a mix of attack sock and traditional sock, this has to be their millionth time trying to do this [2]. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:17, 22 September 2021 (UTC) Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:17, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– A checkuser has completed a check on relevant users in this case, and it is now awaiting administration and close.

Suspected sockpuppets

This is an obvious behavioural cluster that has been active for the past month on Straits Settlements. The 122 IP was first with this edit, which removed Penang from the capital note to leave only Singapore, altered the |today= field to put Singapore at the start and Malaysia at the end, added "Far East" to the description (appears to be a new twist on the previous obsession of adding "East Asia" to Singapore articles, including previously on this one here), adding various Singapore-puffery to the lead, and adding the Singapore topics template while removing the Malaysia topics template. (See also their other edit with a classic tagbomb on a Malaysia-related article, following usual pattern of tagging Malaysia-related articles and untagging Singapore-related articles.) The 175 IP continued those edits, changing the language pipe from British English to Singapore English and editing the new note and lead puffery added by the 122 IP. The 60 IP came next with this edit, which among other things removes the statement in the lead that Singapore was part of Malaysia, sought to directly link Christmas Island with Singapore (a minor obsession for this editor which can be seen with previous edits to the Christmas Island article), and hilariously moving the Singapore topics template higher in the list of topics. LucaszDigg is the most recent, further editing the language note added and edited by the IPs, then editing the body to put Singapore at the top as the "capital" (note previous removal of Penang from infobox by IP), with more puffery added. Note the editing of Penang to make it seem less important (again related to removal from infobox by IP), while also editing the Malacca section to downplay its prominence, and another removal of a Malaysia template while adding a Singapore portal. There's a few more things here and there I'd be happy to communicate via email, but even on the above these are all 100% ducks. CU request on the account to see if there are others.(Previous socks that edited this page include Nielamgros (talk · contribs), Blitzung (talk · contribs), Facteker (talk · contribs), Lise Hereford (talk · contribs), Feinoa (talk · contribs), and the namesake Ineedtostopforgetting (talk · contribs).)

– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets

This was one of the accounts that was included in the 08 May 2021 report and picked up by CU but not blocked as it was thought page protection would be better. It has reactivated, as they all tend to do, to again redo its previous edit first done by surfshark IPs: [3][4]. As stated in the previous report, "Note the typical POV editing, eg. replacing "In Singapore, opposition politicians and trade unionists were detained in prison without trial before in the 1960s and early 1970s" with "The political arena during the early years of Singapore's self-governance and subsequent independence was relatively chaotic"." CMD (talk) 03:54, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This has been checked and closed by CaptainEeK in the #21 September 2021 section above, deactivating CU request here, probably good to close. CMD (talk) 09:57, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets

Kazakhstani IP and new account popping up to partially restore a previous sock edit on that page, with the usual swing towards highlighting Singapore and specifically the aim of saying companies are "Singaporean". Note edit summaries are unused or misleading with regards to this intent in both original sock and new sock edits, with edit summaries used to hide the desired change behind innocuous edits. See [5][6][7] for a similar examples, with this one also showing the deliberately innocuous edit summary. CMD (talk) 01:46, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deactivating CU request, as it was carried out by CaptainEek in the #21 September 2021 section above. CMD (talk) 10:02, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
