Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

This is a consolidation of prior reports as requested by Izno.[1]

Note to clerks: Commercial proxy use is extremely likely as indicated by this erroneous edit by prior-identified sock Xylaraeus which inserted text that appears to be the kind of authentication details used by some proxy services as described (external links!) here and here.

Accounts are listed newest to oldest. In the following table italics indicates already reported and considered accounts, bold indicates newly reported accounts.

Chronologically, newest to oldest:

  • Saleidoxys to Laidonix88 – Accounts share the same editing patterns, username styles, and their creation times all strongly temporally correlate. Edit summaries are the same as with prior identified socks, much ado about "concision" and "peacocks", the quacking is quite apparant. This applies to all edit summaries in this report except where noted otherwise. Saleidoscope9 is unique within this group, having a "based in x" style userpage which is commonly used by older accounts. Prior identified sock Zephyrine87 is in this group.
  • Laidonix88 and Naleidoscope22 – A transition between two groups, the above with mostly blank userpages, and the below with a "TODO" userpage style. Slightly over a month between these two accounts' creation times.
  • Naleidoscope22 – Maleidoscope23 – The "TODO" era. All in this group have the same userpage barring Xylaraeus, same username style, strongly correlated account creation times, and where they have edits and summaries they match the previously observed pattern. Socks already identified in this investigation that fall within this group are: Baleidorix, Xylaraeus, Fyraxys9, Laidourenzo27, and Raleidorix. Vesperaxylo, Daidorian23, and Ezhktvy7n9 were sock-blocked by Joyous! prior to this investigation opening.
  • Maleidoscope23 and Aidennix – Another transition, between "TODO" and "based in x" style userpages. Less than a day between these accounts' creation times.
  • Aidennix to Kayaking67x8 – Accounts in this group mainly feature a "based in x" style userpage, with exceptions of Kairosphere23 and Kaidorius85 having none. Account creation times continue to correlate strongly, as do editing patterns and summaries. Usernames in this group represent a slight transition between the "zxyvscope##" style to a "Khaoscope" style seen in the following group. Already identified socks Aidennixx, Xenionyx8, and Kairosphere23 fall within this group.
  • User:Kayaking67x8 and XEnovirion – Another transition, between "based in x" to the "my page" style. Slightly over a month between these accounts' creation times.
  • XEnovirion to Sarah Collins 27197602 – The "my page" era. No contributions in this group except a single one by Madison Lopez 19471019 with a unique "npov" edit summary. This group sees a transition from "Khaoscope" to "First.Last.12345678"-style usernames. Account creation times inter-correlate with the exception of Shigeru Miyamoto 11161952 who was created on a day without accompaniment and serves as the pivot account between the change in username styles.
  • Sarah Collins 27197602 and Gabriel Young 22191911 – Transition between "my page" and "based in x" style userpages. 22 minutes between these accounts' creation times.
  • Gabriel Young 22191911 to Logan.Nelson.18091948 – The final group, most commonly with "based in x" or blank userpages, all follow the exact same username scheme and have correlating creation times, contributions are rare. Interesting outliers of this group:
    • John Wright 19101984 has a unique "Hello, World!" userpage, many other accounts have inserted this phrase into articles.[2][3][4]
    • Henry.Jones.03021955 is the oldest active account. Their 600+ edits are primarily pattern matching, however some recent edits have shown human-like behavior, including their feedback on Talk:October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel where another reported account, Wylethornstone22, also tried to weigh in 36 minutes later.[5][6] Their userpage of a lowercase "todo" is technically unique, but similar to that seen with the "TODO" group.
    • Sophia.Parker.14200502 was surfaced by @Audrey Woolf[7] and has a matching username pattern, account creation time, and editing and summary style, but with a unique "WIP" userpage. This account is very interesting with unique early editing errors[8][9][10], self-reverts[11][12][13], and blanking of their own talk-page to hide warnings[14]. These and other signs indicate that this accounts' activity was initially human-supervised, and adjustments were made quickly in response to its output. Account met its fate at ANI.[15]

Other notes: I would like to re-invite scrutiny against the previously-cleared Faizenprime. The discovery of Saleidoscope9 and Laidonix88 in this report, both of which were created on the same day 42 minutes prior to Faizenprime, provide strong temporal evidence. Their edit summaries are highly typical of this entire group. And their activity sees them commonly editing at the same pages around the same times as other socks:

etc...

If anything needs clarification, or if its determined more diffs are necessary, please ping me and I'll do my best to provide what is requested. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 02:54, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
