Suspected sockpuppets
[edit]



Evidence submitted by Elektrik Shoos
[edit]

Per this discussion at WP:AN/I I'm reporting this here to get the attention of a checkuser. For evidence, read the initial comments for that discussion. (tl;dr - All have worked on the Klaus Ebner account on various wikis, and most are single-purpose accounts.) A few of the users above may be cross-wiki, if they are, don't mind as I was just putting together a raw list. I also may have forgotten a few; if so, others can add them. elektrikSHOOS 02:57, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given Klaus' recent admission of sockpuppetry (and meatpuppetry) at the discussion listed above, Checkuser will no longer be necessary. elektrikSHOOS 11:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of these are probably stale and, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we can run the checkuser tool on accounts that haven't edited this Wikipedia. That being said, there is definitely something fishy going on and it might be worthwhile to check the active accounts. ThemFromSpace 03:49, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In this "lengthy spiel", Klaus openly admits to being: Ennius, Smetana, Veronika, Livia Plurabelle, Aranka, Manuela, Kevin M, Doron, the Russian JurijVV and Christoph. Quack? Quack... Doc9871 (talk) 10:49, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All but three of the accounts listed are either stale or have not edited this project. The three that the tool did return results from are Klaus Ebner (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), Litteralittera (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), and Svartvicks (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). From a technical standpoint, all three have the same OS, and the latter two used the same browser, but the ISP is quite large, and I don't think this is very conclusive either way.

Okay, here are my conclusions based on behaviour, as technical evidence was somewhat inconclusive:

So, with that in mind, I've blocked all the accounts mentioned above as sockpuppets of Klaus Ebner, with the exception of Francesca la Bola. PeterSymonds (talk) 13:40, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
