Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

This user appears to have the same habits as all the other sockpuppets of Norprobr. They are obsessed with edit warring and nationalist pov-pushing on articles surrounding French military history, such as the French conquest of Algeria and the French army.

Notice how Bobhhik's user page is similar to Norprobr's userpages (the first evidence is a direct threat to AussieWikiDan because he removed a anti-Israel flag, second evidence and third evidence) and this user edits to any Hispanic-related articles especially those related to the Dominican Republic.

You may noticed that the similarities with Norprobr's edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Norprobr&target=Norprobr&offset=&limit=500) and Bobbhik's edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Bobhhik&target=Bobhhik&offset=&limit=500) when it comes to the Dominican Republic-related articles.

This user also removed edits regarding Brazil's role in the Angolan Civil War despite the fact that UNITA had confirmed that Brazil had supported the MPLA (https://irp.fas.org/world/para/docs/unita/en0510991.htm). You can see the comparisons (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angolan_Civil_War&diff=prev&oldid=1181319729 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Angolan_Civil_War&diff=prev&oldid=1151029001).

Like Norprobr, Bobbhik was also involved in an edit war with an IP on the Santo Domingo article in August of this year (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santo_Domingo&oldid=1169882173, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santo_Domingo&oldid=1170793377, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santo_Domingo&oldid=1170866353 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santo_Domingo&oldid=1170875045). Yoshi24517 had warned both this user and the IP. I know this may not meet the 3RR criteria but please take a look at it.

  • CheckUser requested - The filer has unfortunately done a poor job of presenting evidence of socking. However, my own investigation shows that the allegation has merit. I'm requesting a CU to confirm. Bbb23 (talk) 13:36, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • CU data isn't entirely conclusive due to the use of a VPN service, but there are enough similarities for me to be confident that this is the same person. There is nothing in the data I can see to suggest any other account. Indeffed, closing. Girth Summit (blether) 14:57, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

this is an obvious sock of Norprobr, targetting the same articles that have been targetted multiple times by the sock master and his SPs, such as French conquest of Algeria where they keep removing the 200,000 number and attributing the 480,000 to the wrong side (compare 12 to Kauiarmo's edit).

Note: User reported at AIV and blocked. Leaving this up in case ECP is warranted at pages not already requested at RFPP. TornadoLGS (talk) 04:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Girth Summit: since they are obviously keeping some dormant accounts (the above as well as "Quaxlegl", "Gsweert" and "Quiblorth" were all registered on the 25th of May), would it be possible to sweep for some more? Thanks. M.Bitton (talk) 16:09, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Checks have already been performed, no further accounts were found. Girth Summit (blether) 16:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
