Reason(s): Suspected sockpuppets of user ΔωραΣτρουμπούκη. Ever since her perma-ban, she has been abusing other users through sockpuppets and IP addresses. The time of the edits as well as the subjects, are the same as the original ΔωραΣτρουμπουκη account. Thank you. If it is possible, check for sleepers, as well.

I apologize for making a request again, but apparently the greek WP, is being flooded by socks. Ιπποκράτης2020 (talk) 05:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'd appreciate if you could add an explanation of what the similarities are. You can explain briefly, or if you need a detailed explanation, you can send me an email. Either way, the explanation needs to be supplemented a bit. Thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 15:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi sotiale, No problem. The similarities include

1) The time in which the edits take place (Usually afternoon or very early in the morning)

2) The articles themselves (WW2 in Greece, modern Political history of Greece)

3) The manner of the replies themselves.

4) Here, herself states that she created the DinosST34 Account after JiggNigg got permanently banned [... Είμαι ο χρήστης JiggNigg] (I am user JiggNigg). Thank you. Ιπποκράτης2020 (talk) 18:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Ιπποκράτης2020: From a technical point of view. I think you will know who they are, even if I don't tell you. --Sotiale (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

yeah, Anyways it helps to have the checkuser confirmation. Thank you once again @Sotiale: Ιπποκράτης2020 (talk) 11:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

@Sotiale: Thank you for your check. All of the mentionned above socks have been dealt with. Could you please, also, check, if possible, for any possible sleeper accounts? Thank you in advance for your time and help. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ^{ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ} 12:57, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Discussion: discussion

Reason(s): The discussion is about Kurdish people of villages of a Lachin District. Sultan11 and Laçın TÜRK have similar discussion styles and claims. Sultan11 allowed his account to be checked. Please help us to solve this. NMW03 (talk) 15:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

"Allowing" or giving in to someone wanting a check is not proper consent, not that we consider that either way. Please follow the instructions listed and present diffs of evidence instead. -- Amanda (she/her) 03:11, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Reason(s): Dear colleagues, I think these two users are the same person. Their general behavior suggests so. In this regard, please check. Thanks.-- Elshad Iman^verified 06:31, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

It is clear from the discussion here that these two users are the same person. It can be determined that two relevant answers were given to the question. If you translate Azerbaijani, everything will be clear to you. Elshad Iman^verified 12:02, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Discussion: link to suspicious edits

Reason(s): Purendra singh has been locked for spam and Cpkinstitute contributes on the same topic and on Purendra singh's own page and the pseudonym seems to be in CoI.

It looks like a duck to me Cordially. ―Eihel (talk) 15:53, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

@Eihel: Je suis tout à fait d'accord pour dire qu'ils ressemblent à du faux-nex. Cela étant dit, nous n'examinons pas le compte lorsque les choses sont aussi évidentes, à moins qu'il n'y ait quelque chose qui indique qu'il y aurait plus de faux-nex. Y aurait-il une telle indication? -- Amanda (she/her) 17:54, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Discussion: Example

Reason(s): these accounts [1] [2] [3] [4] have - deliberately - false tags in order to satisfy @Εὐθυμένης: his need for sleeper accounts belongs to me. So let's get this straight, please. I don't want to burden all socks of greek wikipedia. Thank you ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη (talk) 18:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Not done All the IP data for those accounts has expired and is no longer accessible. -- Amanda (she/her) 17:45, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

so, the user accounts are free for "cooking". Any admin, any user, can put a sockpuppet tag with another user's name just to backbite!!! Am I correct? 130.43.69.81 01:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Reason(s): Dear colleagues AmandaNP and Mykola7, I suspect these two users who created a duplicate of the same article in the Azerbaijani language segment.

Besides not needing the ping, you are blocked from that project, and had this project had local CUs, you would not be able to file the report. Your report is therefore declined at this time. -- Amanda (she/her) 00:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Reason(s): I don't understand why admin is not blocking my former accounts (User:ShadaB boy, User: ShadaB 485 and User:Mr. Oreki Sama) on English Wikipedia which I don't have access to, three of my former accounts (User:Shakil Arzoo Kun, User:Shadab Kun and User:Shadab Shakil Sama) and this account are already blocked so I just them to get blocked when I am admitting that those accounts were mine so what's the problem? Here Sid95Q said and added a report that Shadab Kun blanked Shakil Arzoo Kun's user page, I also blanked ShadaB boy's user page, I got a warning about sockpuppetry on ShadaB boy account. Shadab Kun was blocked on 31 August 2021 and Mr. Oreki Sama was created on 1 September 2021, I hope this much information was enough to prove that these accounts were mine so just block them all, Thank you.

Discussion: zh:Wikipedia:傀儡調查/案件/Tanqrsucks#2023年8月5日

Reason(s): Proposer of this case suggested that both of these accounts create low notability Hong Kong movie-related articles. A more specific editing behavior of using specific formatting of the reference tag has been later identified as well. The overlapping area, however, implied to me that it's too general in editing scope to suggest a duck relationship. Therefore, a check is requested to confirm the relationship between two accounts.

First of all, this request doesn't need investigation (because their account pattern is too obvious), so we can't proceed with investigation. If you need action on global sysops, please visit GSR(If they are obviously spam or equivalent) or SRM(When discussion is necessary or may be controversial). --Sotiale (talk) 04:34, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

but he says he will make more accounts Baratiiman (talk) 04:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Since their accounts are now blocked, they cannot create a new account with the IP they are using. If it persists, please leave a message on my meta talkpage. --Sotiale (talk) 05:01, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
