 Clerk note: An admin is needed to review those deleted diffs and issue appropriate blocks if the diffs show signs of sockpuppetry. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Master already blocked one week, indeffing sock with tag and blocking IPs 1 week. Closing.

Repeated vandalism on Masta Wu by copy a large block of totatlly untelligible machine-translated text. Mastawu22 and Mastawu222 already blocked, but I'm adding them here to show the extent of the socking. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 10:40, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Comments by other users

Twistaboy has thrice forked Masta Wu into Masta Wu (rapper) with copyrighted material since the former was Protected on the 25th (protection just expired, and the IP listed here is now making vandalistic edits there as well).

Several editors have been CSD tagging the "rapper" fork with a A10 (duplicates existing) and have been repeatedly reverted by TB222 and the IP. The page history (only 30 lines or so) makes this abundantly obvious: [1]

In the middle of this, Mousse account is created and adopts the same undo of the A10 CSD tag, and just as I write this, Kaise joins in. They're either all the same user or a concerted effort to needlessly fork a BLP with copyrighted info and poorly translated material in the latest iteration. CU should be requested to check how many accounts we're talking about here. CrowCaw 21:31, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Adding Younmasta after he appears to revert the redirecting of the fork back to the main. CrowCaw 21:39, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
  • More on Younmasta. Here:[2] he changed WikiDan's name to Wikikaisekaise. CrowCaw 22:14, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

I've blocked Younmasta, Kaise kaise, Moussefbgfbg, and Twistaboy222 indefinitely, both for general disruptive editing and for seeming sockpuppetry. Still, it can't hurt to run a checkuser if it's within policy, both to see if I made any mistakes and to see if there be any sleepers. Nyttend (talk) 22:29, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Sometimes it's hard to say if we're dealing with complete and utter incompetence or malevolent disruption. I vote for the first here. Anyway, I support Nyttend's request for CU; this shouldn't be too complicated. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 04:12, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
  •  Clerk endorsed to confirm socking and run sleeper check.

  • Ok, with regard to this report and the one directly above we have:
  • all  Confirmed to Kaise kaise (talk · contribs). Kazandre (talk · contribs) is a complete outlier technically.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:31, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
  •  Clerk note: I moved the case to the name of Kaisefaisal, who is older than Kaise kaise. I still think that Kazandre can be linked to the rest behaviorally. He added the same material here as Mastawu222 [3]. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:07, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
  • I double checked my findings and there was at least one incident where a webhost was used by the Mastawu accounts, thereby muddying the waters. If the behavioural evidence is strong enough with regard to Kazandre then the account should be blocked as well.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:12, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
  •  Clerk note: Moved case to Kazandre who I believe is the master based on behavior and indeffing. Changing tags. Leaving it for another clerk to close.
     — Berean Hunter (talk) 13:05, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Everybody is blocked here. Closing the case. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:21, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Per their edit history (and abuse with machine translations on other wikis) it's very likely that they are the same user. Stryn (talk) 14:51, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

This user appears to be closely connected to User:Kaise kaise. One of their first edits was recreating YMGA (band), which was speedily deleted in April (if I remember correctly). They then uploaded images to Commons with bogus licensing information, including an image previously uploaded by Kaise kaise: File:YMGA - With. Um Jung Hwa.png (diff from Kk's talk page: [4].) (As I was writing this, the image was deleted for the second time on Commons.)

Ymga ymga posted barnstars to Kk's talk pages: [5], [6], [7]. They also blanked Kk's user page ([8]) and copied the welcome message from Kk's talk page to their own talk page ([9], note that this message links to Kk's contributions).

Like Kaise kaise and other socks, this user creates pages related to Masta Wu that are apparently machine translated and unsourced (including Mass Wu Pt 2). Random86 (talk) 21:25, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Just checked, and YMGA (band) was created by Mastawu222 in April: [10]. Random86 (talk) 03:38, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
DoRD, is the suspected sockpuppet related to either group? Their name isn't on the list. Random86 (talk) 19:55, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Flipping the "Request Checkuser" light on, for sleepers and throwaways, which this farm has done in the past. An example is the new user account from today, whose second edit was to remove the Prod tag from YMGA (band). CrowCaw 22:35, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
  • You mean Tachbalck? That one is now blocked. Drmies (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

  •  Clerk note: I don't have time right now to complete the process, but I'll come back to it tomorrow -- need to  Blocked and tagged the second group to Kazandre, and the first group (+ Mastawu222) needs to be  Blocked and tagged to Kaisefaisal, the older account, and spun back out to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kaisefaisal. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 04:16, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
    • Yeah, some dumb ass clerk messed that all up...oh, wait...
    • I would untangle the mess myself except that I admit to being confused as to how to do that using delete/undelete and maintain proper history attribution. In other words, I believe I may dig a deeper hole for myself and make things worse. My apologies for making the mess in the first place.
       — Berean Hunter (talk) 16:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
      • Since we are splitting a single case to two masters, there is no way to "split" or duplicate the history -- it'll have to be a C&P. I'm doing now ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Group 1 copied to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kaisefaisal and  Blocked and tagged under that master. Kazandre and the group 2 socks  Blocked and tagged here. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:37, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
