Suspected sockpuppets

User SilviaGrisenti was blocked for promotional activities around articles related to Enlightenment Productions, which included articles such as Shamim Sarif, and Hanan Kattan. User Ssarif has perfect overlap with the same articles of interest [1], and is currently active again on the primary article, attempting to add external links, etc. such as [2]. This appears to be an evasion of a promotional block. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:11, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This should probably be filed under EnlightenmentProduction instead, as that was the account blocked before SilviaGrisenti. Technically, it might even need to go as far back as Enlightenmentprods, but log details on that account are probably stale. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:59, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Administrator note Of all of these accounts, only three aren't stale, and two of those three were already blocked. I've blocked Ssarif as a spam/sock per behavioral evidence. Note that not all of these accounts were blocked as socks; most of them are actually username violations. Anyway, relist as necessary. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:38, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Back again with yet another new account doing the same type of removal of maintenance tags and general promotional activity as the sock has done in the past here [5]. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:39, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Block evader back again with two more socks active on the same material once again. Both are SPAs with a focus on the same materials with edits such as: [6] and [7]. I note also that the Kathleeniren account is crossediting the sandbox of the Musetto account as their very first edit as a new account [8].

Block evasion - another SPA sock with all edits to the same set of articles. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 13:34, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Every single one of this user's edits (Special:Contributions/Matus87) are to the same set of articles. They are tuning edits, but since the primary sockmaster has been blocked for promotional use of wikipedia, this appears to be block evasion. Here is one sample diff [9], but the full edit history has all edits to related articles. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 20:31, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the contribs, this seems to be fairly straightforward. The edits are to the same pages, and although the second account isn't blatantly advertising, the selection of articles they edit make it seem as if the master is trying to ease back into things. Requesting CU to confirm block evasion. Regards, MacMedtalkstalk 14:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In response to DoRD below, there are no edits that have the same content. The two accounts exclusively edit the same pages but the second account is not promoting the films or adding unreferenced content. Regards, MacMedtalkstalk 15:45, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Clerk note: ConcernedVancouverite, I appreciate that this may be an obvious sock to you, and I did block the last set as ducks after comparing a bunch of edits, but I don't really have the time to go searching now, and I know that the other clerks are pretty busy, too. All we really need is a couple of diffs that show the same behavior such as Master (or another sock) [diff] and suspected sock [diff] to get this case moving. Thanks ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:16, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Clerk endorsed - There is nothing but the same articles, what seems to be knowledge of Wikisyntax (higher than normal), and the same edit times as previous socks to make this determenation, can CU help? -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 19:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Back yet again. On June 18th, sock Musetto was blocked Special:Contributions/Musetto as a sockpuppet of SilviaGrisenti. There are three new accounts with similar names (just changing a number at the end) who are all active with all edits to the same set of related articles once again. Here are the list: Special:Contributions/Musetto2 Special:Contributions/Musetto3Special:Contributions/Musetto4. Based on the pattern of all edits being to the same set of related articles, as well as the name similarity the behavioral evidence suggests WP:DUCK. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:02, 29 November 2012 (UTC) Adding one more than also turned up as similar editing pattern Special:Contributions/Matus87.

Yet another reincarnation of the promotional sock SilviaGrisenti with all edits dedicated to promoting Enlightenment Productions and related entities of Hanan Kattan and Shamim Sarif. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 14:36, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Back again right after the last SPA was blocked with another new SPA account working on the Hanan Kattan article with this SPA edit: [10]. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Based upon Dennis Brown's comment about sleepers I looked at the history a bit more and turned up another recent account which also follows the same patterns: Special:Contributions/Soulabf, as well as the very stale Special:Contributions/Just4upeople, which hasn't been active recently but I am including in case it gives some clues to a checkuser to track down other sleepers. Same for this other stale account Special:Contributions/Hawkesforde which also had promotional edits for the same set of articles such as [11] and [12].

  •   CheckUser requested -   Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention - The one edit looks too much like him to be coincidence. Requesting a sleeper check as this seems to be a prolific individual. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 01:09, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be back again with edits to the whole series or related articles that have been the focus of this sock, including the creation of a duplicate article here: Sk_enlightenment_productions, and edits to many of the affiliated articles such as [13], addition of non-encyclopedic content here [14] (which was reverted), and repeated insertion of material here [15] and [16] and [17] which has been reverted multiple times. Appears to be a WP:DUCK promotional sock. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 14:29, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
