Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

Strange, stilted machine-writing language, obsession with the Signpost, similar content (Lacaidonian). – Train2104 (t • c) 19:16, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting CheckUser, in light of the comments here. This appears to be part of a larger sockfarm, that also contains CU-blocked Sonofida (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) and KiSharika (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), master unknown. @DeltaQuad: would know but she's inactive. Also, all these sockpuppets need TPA revoked. – Train2104 (t • c) 19:21, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Found a possible case: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Fixer88. But the relationship between the listed master and the socks is unclear, and the master was unblocked by ArbCom. Expert attention needed. – Train2104 (t • c) 19:33, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the socks have Meta/cross-wiki contributions, locking may be needed. – Train2104 (t • c) 19:26, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This case is being reviewed by Sir Sputnik as part of the clerk training process. Please allow them to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on their Talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

  • @KrakatoaKatie: What do you mean by "take a look"? Check the account? Do we have enough new behavioral evidence in your view to recheck the account? Not that Fixer88 is immune just because ArbCom chose to unblock him in 2016, but I would be loath to check without a good reason.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:37, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
After discussion with Bbb23, we're of the opinion that Fixer88 is Red X Unrelated.  Clerk assistance requested: Please retag all these socks to the oldest listed account, which I think is Metlifecc. We're tainting Fixer88 unnecessarily here and we need to stop it. Katietalk 22:05, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
