Suspected sockpuppets

All three accounts and the IP have removed the same content from the Kamal Haasan article the IP just once on January 7 and the three accounts since their creation on January 10, January 15, and January 16 respectively (Title hero: [1] [2] [3]; Ajith009: [4] [5] [6]; Rajani003: Special:Contributions/Rajani003). I'm most suspicious that Ajith009 and Rajani003 are related due to the similar username pattern and use (or lack thereof) of edit summaries but also think that Title hero and 111.92.21.134 could be the same user...I have listed Title hero as the master sheerly because it is the oldest registered account of the three.

I am opening this case on behalf of a new user. I will let that user provide more detailed evidence, but a quick glance at the edit summaries and target articles appears to show a significant relation.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:54, 8 March 2013 (UTC) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:54, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect User:Nightocean to be the sock puppet of User:Flowers of the world after going through their edit histories.

a) Both of them are fans of actors Kunchacko Boban, Mammootty and Dulquer Salmaan. They repeatedly try to push their POV onto the articles of these actors and their films through their edits/reverts.

b) Both of them are active on similar film based articles and they seem to work in tandem. Other than the above specified articles, they are very diligent in removing NPOV/BLP violations on other actors and films. Their editing pattern, the articles they choose and the timing are very much alike.

c) Their language skills seems to be pretty bad. They don't actually add anything of their own to the pages. All they do is copy and paste, deletions and reverts. Even their edit summaries are copied and pasted from other users especially User:TheRedPenOfDoom.

I've received messages from both these accounts in my talk page. Please check the similarities in their comments (note how they spell 'consider' for instance),

Nightoocean says "Mr. Kunjacko Boban has acted in 50 films in malayalam cinema as lead and supporting actor and is cosidered as one of the leading actors of malayalam cinema. his latest realse romans has been widely acclaimed for his performance. thank u." check diff

Flowersoftheworld says "Mr. Mammootty has acted in more than 360 films,in malayalam cinema as lead actor and is cosidered as one of the leading method actors of malayalam cinema. this is long standing sourced material you can check it. thanks" check diff

Also check the comment by Flowersoftheworld in the talkpage of user User_talk:TheRedPenOfDoom,

"Mr. kunchacko boban has acted in more than 50 films,in malayalam cinema as lead actor and is cosidered as one of the leading actors of malayalam cinema. this is long standing sourced material you can check it. thanks." check diff

Please also note that the article selection and edit pattern of these accounts have apparent similarities to that of blocked User:Materialthunder. Material thunder is also a fan of the above mentioned actors. He was banned for repeatedly pushing POV and giving factually incorrect boxoffice figures in the pages related to these actors.

JK (talk) 19:27, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is something fishy going on among the accounts, although it is hard to say what. At the Kunchacko_Boban article, you have Nightocean reverting Materialthunder and a string of Flowers of the world and Intellectual savior reverting each other [7] [8]-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:16, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of Nightooccean and flowersoftheworld trying to push their POV to glorify the actors they adore,

Nightoocean:

diff1 - This even though Kunchacko Boban is the supporting actor in that film

diff2 - Tries to give more prominence to Mammootty and his film Pazhassi Raja.

diff3 - Giving wrong box office figures in Pazhassi Raja (2009 film), a Mammootty film.

diff4

diff5

diff6

diff7

- removing tables from pages of other actors

diff8 - adding tables in Dulquer Salmaan

Flowers of the world:

diff1 - Adding tables in Kunchacko Boban

diff 2 - Adding tables in Dulquer Salmaan (please also note that Dulquer Salmaan is the son of Mammootty)

diff3

diff4 - removing tables from the pages of other actors

diff5 Glorifying Mammootty

diff6 Depreciating Mohanlal

The poor language skill and disruptive attitude of these accounts are visible from the fact that flowers of the world blanked this entire page rather than defending their position here.

user:Materialthunder was blocked on February 27th. Flowersoftheworld started active editing from February 27th. Flowersoftheworld created his user page on Feb 27th while Nighttoocean created his userpage on Feb 26th. Lets see some diffs involving Materialthunder,

diff1 - Pushing pro-Kunchacko Boban POV in a film with an ensemble cast.

diff2 - Giving wrong box office figures in Pazhassi Raja (2009 film), a Mammootty film.

diff3 Glorifying Kunchacko Boban

diff4 Glorifying Mammootty

diff5 Glorifying Mammootty

diff6 Depreciating Mohanlal

diff7 Glorifying Dulquer Salmaan

So the commonalities of these accounts are,

1) Adulation for Kunchacko Boban, Mammootty and Dulquer Salman.

2) Depreciating other actors and their films.

3) Lifting (copy-paste) the edit summaries by other users and using them indiscreetly all over the place

JK (talk) 08:00, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Flowers of the world and Intellectual savior are same person I think

  • 1) diff1 and diff2 - Vishal and Ram Charan Teja articles. same edit summary. both edits made in 2 minutes (8 March 2013 15:13, 8 March 2013 15:15).
  • 2) diff1 and diff2 - Aashiq Abu and Ram Charan Teja articles. same edit summary. both edits made in 2 minutes (9 March 2013 11:33, 9 March 2013 11:35).


Both of these editors, as well as TRPoD himself, seem to be needlessly removing filmography tables from some actor's articles. Sometimes they appear to co-operate (to avoid the three revert rule perhaps) as in here, and sometimes they appear to be on differing sides as in here. Very strange. BollyJeff | talk 14:42, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that there is definite socking going on here, but TRPoD's actions are equally suspicious as they tie in with the edits by the proposed socks. I would recommend a CU on all the socks as well as TRPoD altogether. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:06, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
a review of the edits will show that i am removing the needless tables from articles as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Tables, while the accounts named in the investigation are removing the tables from some articles while reinserting the needless tables in others. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 06:22, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am not able to finish this check actually, as I'm past my monthly bandwidth at home, and i'm trying to conserve what I have to pay. I don't use CU at school, so I need another CU to pick this up. On one of the ranges I checked this morning (I can't remember if it's just one or more than one) there is another sockmaster, but it is the same user as this sockmaster I determined. I don't remember the name, but there will be several blocked socks to go off of.

The editor is focused on one of the primary obsessions of the puppet master, Kamal Hasan. Ajith real7 has the same 'tell' of indiscriminately cutting and pasting edit summaries from other users. The Aijith prefix has been used in at least 2 other socks: Ajith009 and Ajith008 . and [21] from the blocked sock and [22] from Aijith real7] pretty much seals the deal. the ID is pretty much DUCK, but a check user may be a good thing to get any extra socks. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 09:27, 29 April 2013 (UTC) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 09:27, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Easily obvious from the edit pattern and level of interaction of these accounts with the blocked socks. Both the accounts uses the same copy-pasted edit summaries of the previously blocked socks. This inappropriate warning [33] (pasting the exact same words I used while warning a blocked sock of the same master) seals it. Not sure if a checkuser is needed, I request a quick block of these duck socks. JK (talk) 17:30, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider this diff [34]. The edit summary is lifted from [35]. Cut pasting edit summaries is one of the specialties of this user. Hard to believe that a new user is so aware of the MOS discussions. JK (talk) 04:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Life is a game22 pops into existence the day after the most recent sock Nobody is perfect and i am nobody (talk · contribs) is blocked. His first edits are to redirect content to an article he has created Kunchacko Boban (actor). I dont have access to that deleted article, but I am willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that it is this version (to which LIG22 has also reverted the main article) which is the same version that our sock drawer keeps inserting.

The IP is repeating the Nobody is perfect and i am nobody bloat on the filmography as well as the standard put the names of the actors that I like first and remove the names of actors i dont like as the Nightocean sock did [40]

Requesting checkuser for sleepers.

Also requesting complete lockdown of the article to prevent yet another repeat of such shenanigans. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:19, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

after some magic history merge maneuvering by RHaworth, i guess I owe someone some dollars. [41] the created version by LIG22 is exactly the same version as blocked sock Onam2013 PLUS the entire bloated Filmography article as pushed by blocked sock Nobody is perfect and i am nobody. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:07, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CU-wise, it is  Likely that Life is a game22 is Indian film 100yrs of mkht and Onam2013 (Life is a game22 provided a link between those two, which was missing). It is also likely that Nobody is perfect and i am nobody (talk · contribs) is part of this group. Blocks and search for sleepers should be accompanied by behavioral evidence, as the underlying IP ranges are too big and busy. I've semiprotected Kunchacko Boban.

This sock incarnation has included a lot of random article roulette to attempt to throw off the investigations at the beginning, but they have not been able to keep up the deception and the only articles upon which they return are the Kunchacko Boban filmography, the article created [48] by the Intellectual savior sock. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
