Reason: Continuing where Daubpushyd (talk • contribs • logs) stopped. Dorades (talk) 10:22, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Results:

Same pattern of edits seen in the accounts identified in the last few days. --Epìdosis 10:37, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at User talk:KababyZMinsem: "DDB - thank you - great work" by Lorenz Karsten, HerderStop, Daubpushyd and Michcareti. He likes this kind of self-talk. --Kolja21 (talk) 17:07, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale, discussion and results

[edit]

Reason: Account created in January with a small number of edits that sprung to life again with ISNI batches 21 minutes after KababyZMinsem being reported. William Graham (talk) 12:48, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that its resumed activity is rather connected to the block of Wendiosmanh (talk • contribs • logs), but can't prove that. I also suspect that KababyZMinsem might rather be a sockpuppet of Matlin (unresponsive to talk page messages which is more typically for them), but can't prove that either. --Dorades (talk) 12:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, effectively at a second look KababyZMinsem seems more probably a sockpuppet of Matlin. Epìdosis 16:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the supposedly reliable and accurate tool, checkuser, is unable to determine which user is using "additional" accounts, it only shows another failure of the administration, which is busy with obsessive "searches" for evidence. I wonder when the administrators will think about other possibilities. Perhaps the administrators will understand that the atmosphere of a witch hunt they are fueling leads to unintentional mistakes made in haste? Maybe they just need to talk with the given user, apologize, and come to a compromise? Nizharlak (talk) 14:06, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Same trolling edits as sock "ISNIPlus". Compare this with this. JMagalhães (talk) 18:20, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: same editions as Zghbv. Madamebiblio (talk) 17:38, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I add a comment for the record: the items created in the last two days are nearly 42k and all of them had the problem of the form "Surname, Name" that has been lamented by many users in the talk pages, in vain obviously; I am running 6 QS batches to fix them (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). I am also adding German and English labels besides mul labels because I'm certain that in many cases the label taken from GND is good only as German and sometimes English label but in many cases not as mul label (e.g. Greek and Georgian authors). --Epìdosis 22:03, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We also have 2200 items (out of 42k) sharing the VIAF ID (P214) with an existing item, see query https://w.wiki/BqYG: they are flooding Property talk:P214/Duplicates/humans right now and we absolutely need help in fixing them. Most, but not all, are duplicates, so I don't feel confident making a massive merge. --Epìdosis 00:18, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I started a batch of 887 merges which should pretty certain: same label, same VIAF ID (P214), same ISNI (P213), the new item has GND ID (P227) and the older item has no GND. Epìdosis 15:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Reason: New user account PersOrga created a topic on my talk page that revisits a topic previously started by Andres Ollino. Also see both accounts have edited Q128250917 via the interaction timeline. --Infopetal (talk) 15:06, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@1997kB, Jasper Deng, Sotiale, علاء: pingping you to avoid backlog on the last cases. Thanks, --Epìdosis 09:04, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Same MO as Zghbv and Romesditto23 above. @Epìdosis: can you try to repair their edits again? Lymantria (talk) 10:32, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lymantria: yes, probably between 10-12 December. Epìdosis 11:31, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. --Lymantria (talk) 13:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale, discussion and results

[edit]

Reason: Both users caught my attention as being promotion-only accounts promoting connected subjects with similarly random user names. Any sleepers? Lymantria (talk) 12:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also:
Possibly related older accounts:
Same subjects of interest. Apart from that, Jertyuf was caught by filter 269, which suggests that
might be included as well. --Lymantria (talk) 14:41, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: See Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard#Vandalism related to Wisit Tongmo, socks have been identified aat en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DLOEI2536/Archive, Commons:Category:Sockpuppets of DLOEI2536, and th:หมวดหมู่:หุ่นเชิดของ พันจ่าอากาศโทวิศิษฎ์ ทองโม้, but PEA42 was not included there.

[edit]

13 November 2024

[edit]

Rationale, discussion and results

[edit]

Reason: Common interest in Sammy Williams/Joseph Williams/William Joseph Williams, hoaxing and spamming (crosswiki). Most mentioned accounts are already locked. The origin is much older and stale, see also en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Japansonglove/Archive, that seems related as focussing on the same subjects. Any more active accounts here?

Rationale, discussion and results

[edit]

Reason: Both users have edited Aristo International Hotel (Q117326045) with spam links, this one of the sock connects to the master. Any sleepers? --Lymantria (talk) 21:48, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Results:

16 November 2024

[edit]

Rationale, discussion and results

[edit]

Reason: Name of the user refers to a SEO company; ImtiazTopu (talk • contribs • logs) claimed to work for a SEO company. They repurposed Leon Heller (Q123246422) together for that company. Also, both users uploaded logos of that company on Commons. Dorades (talk) 22:07, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
