Suspected sockpuppets[edit]


SPA user just recreated Jethu Sisodiya using different title J-Star Jethu Sisodiya. The master is already blocked and BANNAJS was registered after 2 weeks of the master's block and their English in edit summaries sound very similar. GSS (talk|c|em) 10:30, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Similar username to previous the sock BANNAJS and recreation of Rajput (Song) earlier created by the master. GSS (talk|c|em) 16:49, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ponyo: I'm unable to find more evidences as I can't see their deleted edits but I notice the use of "edit only" in edit summary is exactly the same as the previous sock ([1][2]). Cheers – GSS (talk|c|em) 04:47, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Samtar and Bbb23: Since this case is still open do you mind checking user ItsMyClub registered on the same day Jai Rajput was blocked. His first edit was to create his userpage, talk page and then sandbox. He also belongs to the same area per his user page. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 10:09, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Samtar: Your helping out at SPI is appreciated. Would you like me to teach you how to tag? If not, please tell me how strong you found the behavioral evidence before you blocked. In that way, I can tag it as "suspected" (less strong) or "proven" (stronger). Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:18, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The user was registered on the same day user Jai Rajput was blocked. His first edit was to create his userpage, talk page, sandbox and then this request at WP:RFP/C same like previous socks. He is editing in the similar area and also belongs to the same geographical location per his user page. GSS (talk|c|em) 08:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of Richi Banna (singer) under different title Rishi Banna (singer) and user also editing in the same area. Requesting CU for sleepers. GSS (talk|c|em) 09:50, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Had a feeling this was SJS also but was waiting for something more obvious (like the Banna article) and now combine that with this edit and we got us some quacking. So what'll it be today guys? Some duck confit with duck fat fries? Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:50, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Chrissymad: Same here, I was watching this guy from the first day and was wating for him to do what he came here for (like the Banna article). @Bbb23: I apologize for the yesterday's CU request actually it was also for the sleepers but I totally forget to mention. I will take care the future cases carefully and if you have any suggestion please don't hesitate to tell me. Cheers – GSS (talk|c|em) 17:36, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]


The user was registered a day after Bbb23 blocked the previous sock. The first edit was creating userpage, talk page and then sandbox same as BOLLYWOODB1. The user delinked J-Star from Himanshi Khurana and his edit summary was Because She works with J-Star,who is punkabi singer and J-Star is a band. He also created Royal Rajputs and Category:Rajput which is their favourite topic. GSS (talk|c|em) 17:38, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This edit by WorldBoy is exactly same as previously blocked user Jai Rajput [3] and you may also notice the use of brackets while signing posts (e.g. (~~~~)). GSS (talk|c|em) 06:08, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

stop I am not a sock puppet of any Singer Jethu Sisodiya.I am a simple wikipedia editor and an editor making a fake case for an "attack" or to prevent their own editing being examined.please decline this request because I am not a sock puppet.I am a good editor and please see my all contribution on wikipedia. Thank you ((WORLDBOY () 04:39, 20 March 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Hello, WorldBoy, can you please stop complaining and actually try to prove your innocence by providing evidence against GSS-1987's arguments. Please remain civil and refrain from blanking this page, for the sole reason of "Please Stop your wrong accusation on me". If you can prove yourself innocent, then we will stop accusing you. But anyhow,  Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone to me Cheers, FriyMan talk 09:30, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For example, he could provide evidence of his contributions not being connected to those of the sock master. He could also prove his account being created one day after previous sock being blocked to be just a coincidence. Cheers, FriyMan talk 10:12, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that is incorrect FriyMan. As another editor points out below, SPI is probably better left for experienced editors to deal with; specifically those involved in the history of the puppet/eer, checkusers, and SPI clerks. Otherwise we risk providing false information and confusing the process. Your enthusiasm, of course, is laudable. Cheers. — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 14:40, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

GSS-1987, can you please give us diffs, that prove similarities between those users and/or previous sock (Bbb23). Thank you, Cheers, FriyMan talk 09:50, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FriyMan Not GSS-1987 but he did provide diffs above. It may also be helpful to look at some of the previous sock contributions as well. And this has nothing to do with this SPI but in general, it is on the accuser to provide evidence of socking, not the suspected sock puppet. I'm also not sure what you're asking about with reference to including Bbb23 in your edit? I'm somewhat familiar with this SPI and I agree that the users edits are strikingly similar, even down to the edit summaries. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 10:05, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
FriyMan What you mean by previous sock Bbb23? The diff are available above but if you still need more just ping me. GSS (talk|c|em) 10:20, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
GSS-1987 I am sorry, by "previous sock", I meant BOLLYWOODB1. This is just a typo. Cheers, FriyMan talk 10:24, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Some more evidence (take a look at the edit summary) [4] and [5]. Cheers, FriyMan talk 10:58, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is the same user we blocked recently (WorldBoy). I don't mind providing any evidence but since they are aware of this investigation page I think explaining any similarities here will them to survive in the future. He was registered on the same day WorldBoy was blocked so requesting CU for the help. GSS (talk|c|em) 10:46, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

HindWIKI was registered two days after GODARA was blocked and there are plenty of evidence that can be provided but would like to go with CU first. GSS (talk|c|em) 14:25, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked by Doc James one minute before this was filed. What's with that? Apparently checkuser already confirmed according to the template he put..? Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:29, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the behavioral evidence and this is beyond a doubt a User:Singer Jethu Sisodiya sock. Changed the template to the correct tag.[8] Not sure the likelihood of further socks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:35, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict × 2)Yeah I did figure that was probably the case. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:38, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Newly registered user recreated Kunaal Vermaa as Kunaal vermaa ("V" as lowercase) and then redirected Kunaal Verma to his article and as per his comment at the article's talk page it appears he has close connection with the subject too. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 16:52, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: I know 👍 and that's why I ping to notify you about the recreation under different title. GSS (talk|c|em) 07:18, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was honestly surprised as to the master, as I thought HINDWIKI was more competent than this one.I will appreciate a CU being run, for that will (most-probably) lead to the user behind this puppetry getting site-banned.~ Winged BladesGodric 07:41, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have blocked these two as suspected socks but am changing the status to CU requested as I expect more socks and a check might help in finding those. —SpacemanSpiff 07:25, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Youcantsaymenothing is very  Likely. Preetpal vinod shekhawat and Ravipratap singhs are  Technically indistinguishable from each other and  Possible to the master. Blocked and tagged the unblocked account. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:18, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ravipratap singhsh (talk · contribs) was registered after SpacemanSpiff blocked Pvsbx and both of them are now blocked. GSS (talk|c|em) 08:00, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm...Missed the timeline.Weird UTC/Local time error.Anyways, I will be requesting a CU to go for range-block, if it's feasible.This's not going to fizz out anytime soon....~ Winged BladesGodric 09:13, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
