Looking. Vermont (talk) 13:04, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dreamy Jazz and CuteMeow, there is no evidence, at present, of Kashish pall abusing multiple accounts on the Simple English Wikipedia. Elsewhere, it seems so, but their enwiki block was made on behavioral evidence. The other accounts listed on the enwiki SPI which are registered on this project are all stale. There is nothing for me to do from a checkuser perspective; however, as a regular admin, their edits here have been more unhelpful than not, their language knowledge does not seem sufficient to write Simple English articles (which generally requires native and/or a formal education in English to aptly manage Simple English word choice and grammatical formats), and they are eligible for WP:ONESTRIKE. CuteMeow, if you do not want Kashish pall to edit your talk page, please ask them to stop. If they continue after being asked to stop, they can be blocked for harassment reasons. If you suspect any specific accounts on this project are sockpuppets of Kashish pall, please let me know and I can look into it further. Thank you for reporting, and happy editing!

Both users happened to be on the same RFD. Both voted "keep" on the RFD, and The Named account only has edits to the rfd and the article, that they created, which was being listed at RFD. The IP has their only edits, as a "Keep" vote to the RFD. It is also interesting that both users ended their vote with "(" perma link here, which suggests that they are the same person? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:20, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eptalon So there is no other way to check then? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 01:19, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is no need. Remember, an RfD is about looking at arguments, not about counting. Also, the comments of users with very few edits may or may not be counted (in most cases: they aren't); in general, anonymous users are not really allowed to vote in an RfD; their comment will be counted as a comment...--Eptalon (talk) 01:24, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, the 2nd account is blocked for bad username and the blocking admin allow them in the block notice to create a new account. I don't think is socking but just spamming.

Ali Sarhan Shamran 

Both users exclusively edited this article (or the talk page). Seems SPA. Requesting CU as the placing of wait templates and talk page discussions seems to be influencing the outcome of deletion, against sock policies. There had also been IPs editing.

Both are involved in creating and saving Jalen McMillan MewSic created the article.

Then, DarknetQueen joins and removed the RfD for an article which Nithiin1983 started on EN (now deleted) and Wikidata. DarkQueen also recently added a keep vote on another RfD thread of an article started by Nithiin1983. DarkQueen's signature is also eerily similar to that of Nithiin1983.

All involved in possibly undisclosed paid editing on Mila Nabours, Krutika Desai, and Krutika Desai (actress) (among other pages). Also requesting check for sleepers. Chenzw  Talk  18:07, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No technical evidence but let me tell you a story about a duck who found a megaphone. "Quack quack," said the little duck, but at first no one heard. Then little duck found a megaphone and said, "QUACK QUACK!!" This time, everyone heard the little duck. Since the duck wasn't hidden anymore, the little duck was blocked. The end.

Aflantwo

Quite a long shot, but Aflantwo created the Wikidata for Habib Alejalil in May 2020. It has then been created across cross-wiki pages on ES, HI, TK, UR by Feloniii in June 2020. While the account has been created in 2017, it has only been active again in the next month when the article in question was created. — Infogapp1 (talk) 17:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done There's no probable cause to investigate here. One of the accounts hasn't even edited on this project. The CU tool can only be used to confirm a connection, not create one. Operator873talkconnect 18:03, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Manoj Rajout11

All accounts are involved in editing Dekha Hai Jabse Tujhe and possibly the now-deleted Anil Nayak (singer) and have been removing RfD tags. Possibly even related to John Sahu below. Quite a stretch, but very similar editing behaviour to: 2409:4042:2792:8B5E:F69E:45D2:A612:4F13. See #27-32 of my QD logs. — Infogapp1 (talk) 14:12, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible, same ISP, gelolocate to the same city in Asia (of roughly 5 million people). IP range is different though.--Eptalon (talk) 19:01, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Editor940 and ColumbusDay

ColumbusDay's user page[2] is identical that of Editor940[3], a user indefinitely blocked on enwiki and globally locked for sockpuppetry and disruption. 158.101.144.173 (talk) 21:13, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Apart from the userpage, ColumbusDay currently has one content edit in SEWP. I would classify this edit as constructive. CheckUser should be used to find problem editors and troublemakers. So where's the problem behaviour? --Eptalon (talk) 21:35, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Raider456 again

Same mistake in their request for rollback (ref: Special:Diff/6968689), as well as similar language in their RfP as compared to the text on User:CatBot20. Chenzw  Talk  14:16, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed Operator873talkconnect 15:32, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Raider456 + CatBot20

Both accounts are promotionally editing Sham Kumar Monger. Raider456 was globally locked for crosswiki abuse, and shortly after this lock CatBot20 was created. Naleksuh (talk) 22:30, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Confirmed plus Sham Kr. Monger Operator873talkconnect 00:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oghlan_bakhshi + Goldaw

Both accounts being used for promotional edits on Oghlan Bakhshi page. Previously, the first account was the only account editing it. However, as soon as the first account was blocked from editing, the second account popped up out of nowhere to continue promotional edits. Naleksuh (talk) 01:46, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The block I placed on the first account was a soft username block, the intention of which is to prevent editing until their account can be renamed or until they can verify that they are Ohglan Bakhshi. The two accounts are  Confirmed, but Goldaw will not be blocked, only a note on Goldaw's talk page that a rename was preferable and that they will need to stick to that account. It is possible that they felt overwhelmed by the Meta-Wiki page to request a rename, and decided creating another account was a better option; the block of the original account does not preclude them from doing so as it is simply a soft username block. As they have chosen to make another account rather than a rename, I will, however, place a more restrictive block on the initial account. Best regards, Vermont (talk) 02:11, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Onnorokom manus & Mikya Zariti

They both created the same page that was deleted and other bad pages, likely ;en:wp:DUCK, prefer actual CheckUser Determination. -- Enfcer (talk) 20:42, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, both accounts use some of the same IPs. User agents don't match, however. So: No duck...--Eptalon (talk) 21:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eptalon, hi, could you hop on IRC for a few minutes so we could discuss the data? Thanks, Vermont (talk) 21:33, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
After talking to Vermont, and other CheckUsers, we agreed that despite user agents being different, this is likely the same user.--Eptalon (talk) 00:02, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pranitha1992 and others (SPI case: Arshifakhan61)

Above users were involved in creation/re-creation of spam articles. Some have already been locked, requesting CU due to recent article re-creation activity, and to root out sleepers. Chenzw  Talk  16:22, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The two listed are  Confirmed. Vermont (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indrajeet Singh Article Editors

All editors contributing to an RfD article, that appears to be Socks or Undisclosed Paid editing from each other. The last editor is blocked on En.Wiki as an undisclosed paid editor. The third editor is already blocked as they had been removing RfD templates much like the Second in the list has, the first editor had just created the account and started editing. -- Enfcer (talk) 19:44, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Two  Confirmed. Another quacking very loudly. The Sunilbutolia WP:ONESTRIKE blocked for same behavior as enwiki. Operator873talkconnect 20:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shazir mucklai editors

Both accounts created since the article was created and have made similar edits removing the RfD template. Socks or meat puppets. Operator873talkconnect 17:50, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overlap is only minimal; yes, similar browsers, and some of the IPs geolocate to the same city (of roghly 3.5-4 million people). I think its unlikely they are socks or meatpuppets of each other. --Eptalon (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CPHL

Similar edits on similar pages. Refer to contributions of suspected sock account. Suspected sock account created day after talk page access revoked from original account. Operator873talkconnect 16:07, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the Ip addresses, there is no direct overlap. They both geolocate to the same region in the world (bigger city,with about 2.8 million people in the Urban area). It looks like they use the same browser, though. --Eptalon (talk) 09:37, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Acalitri550

User creating attack pages; the Acalitri550 account is also blocked for sockpuppetry on enwiki. There may be sleepers too. Zaxxon0 (talk) 21:10, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All of them are gloablly locked, and a few tests I did didn't reveal any sleepers. So what do you expect us to do here? --Eptalon (talk) 22:13, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tyronm.fultz and Mike1turner

Both accounts have been involved in three different pages (Social Glass, Sean Needham, and now Castellani Ali). All of these three pages were RfDed (first two were deleted, third one is still pending at this time) for notability and promotion. All pages were created by one account and then later edited by the other. They have also been used to place keep votes in RfDs. It is possible that they are rather meatpuppets instead of sockpuppets, but is still worth a CheckUser's input. Computer Fizz (talk) 21:57, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Grammeteo818

Above sockmaster already blocked on EN, the first account is not blocked locally, but the 2nd account was discovered on this wiki and blocked here per ONESTRIKE. MO appears to be the inappropriate use of userspace for hosting climate data about fictitious locations. Also requesting CU to root out sleepers. Chenzw  Talk  02:02, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The edits of MVN are too far back in time to get useful info;Thau 66 has used a great number of IP addresses. Blocked one alternate account, which was used in December, as a possible sleeper.--Eptalon (talk) 21:46, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked Thau 66 as it appeared they were missed being blocked. -DJSasso (talk) 14:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gabinete

Users repeatedly post the block notice but changed to "gabinete", under the page "user/gabinete"

The second account does not exist. The first account only has one edit. So what do you expect us to do? --Eptalon (talk) 22:50, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets

I am sorry to say so, but per Checkuser policy we are not allowed to relate IP addresses and usernames.--Eptalon (talk) 23:39, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible block evasion / lock evasion

Same ISP, same user agent; I cannot say anything about where the IPv6 addresses geolocate to, as I do not get this info. While it's certainly possible that one is a puppet of the other, I'd therefore treat them as separate editors, for now. --Eptalon (talk) 08:32, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Eptalon: I will say this is pretty close to them as the same person as same ISP + UA. It can surely different people editing using same computerk, anyway, they will be Meat puppets. I have some more likely ones, can you kindly check please. Thanks. Newly created accounts and this 2nd account created their talk pages.

Editing on Angelique Rockas

Although CorrectionX has been blocked, Zaxbronx is probably another sock of the global sock puppet Amfithea, aka SimpleWiki081, and all heavily create/edit the Angelique Rockas article on many other projects. – Aranya (talk) 18:09, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, I cannot see any wrong behavior of Zaxbronx. Yes, both geolocate to the UK. This does however not warrant a block of Zaxbronx. Just living close to a criminal (next to a prison), does not make you a criminal, does it? --Eptalon (talk) 19:06, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your explanation, although I wasn't making that assumption. I can't seem to find any good diffs on this project for comparison, so I guess a checkuser is not necessary. Apologies! – Aranya (talk) 00:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I blocked them. Quite clearly the same person based just on behaviour alone. -DJSasso (talk) 13:58, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
