Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

This user randomly reverted one of my edits that reverted a previous sock. Blocked but not tagged as per procedure here. I'm basically looking for sleepers. Graham87 (talk) 04:33, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Group 1:
  • These accounts are  Confirmed to each other and  Possible to RichardHornsby in that they geolocate to the same highly populated area, but they're not really technically similar otherwise.
  • Group 2:

I'm hopeful this is a pretty straightforward WP:DUCK situation. One of the socks discussed above, User:Randompandaeatcake, was edit warring on the page 1960 United States presidential election. Now this user, user:Nppfarcenter, has revived an older account and resumed the edit war with identical summaries (example one, example two) Yaksar (let's chat) 21:05, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

look, I am not sockpuppets, you can see that my account has been created for a while and has a lot of edits made. I think this accusation you leveled against me is ridiculous and unfounded. Nppfarcenter (talk) 22:37, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:AaronGolem, User:AaronGolem1, User:AaronGolem2, User:AaronGolem3, User:AaronGolem4, User:AaronGolem5 are all already blocked. AaronGolem6 was just created on 5 May 2024 and its first edits outside of Wikipedia:Sandbox and userspace was to Template:Cite New South Wales transport timetables (see page history), which User:AaronGolem1 has also edited in the past. All AaronGolem accounts have edited pages related to public transport in New South Wales. Pinging @Oshwah as they might be interested. Fork99 (talk) 07:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Initial contribution history is very similar to AaronGolem6 (already blocked per previous report; see Special:Contributions/AaronGolem6), initially editing WP:Sandbox, then Template:Cite New South Wales transport timetables (see page history). Also very similar username style to RichardHornsby, i.e. a common male first name followed by a geographical place name in New South Wales. Fork99 (talk) 05:32, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
