Republic of Pelau accounts

This request is related to Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Republic of Pelau. The 1st account is the author of the respective article, and the 2nd account uploaded a relelvant file to Wikimedia Commons (commons:Special:Log/Han_Tae-Sul). Please also note that both accounts are related to micronations and they have edits at mswiki as well as the estimated main account collection (Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive21#Muhammad_Luqman_accounts). MathXplore (talk) 08:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing enough evidence at this stage. We are not permitted to go "fishing", but I will keep an eye on the edits. Peterdownunder (talk) 12:19, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the feedback. After your opinions, a different editor has agreed to my assessments (commons:Special:Diff/889982762), and now the 2nd account is also locked. MathXplore (talk) 05:00, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Note) The 2nd user is now also CU-blocked. MathXplore (talk) 11:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Niamh O'Hara accounts

The first account made an enwiki draft copy, and the 2nd account made Niamh B. O'Hara. Can they be related? MathXplore (talk) 00:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they have the same ISP, but no, they don't share IP addresses. So, currently, no match, sorry... Eptalon (talk) 21:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Sylvia Benitez accounts

The first account is already CU-blocked by user:Operator873, and they are involved in the creation of w:Sylvia Benitez. The 2nd account is the creator of Sylvia Benitez, possible block evasion ? MathXplore (talk) 00:22, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

askfilo.com accounts

I found 2 accounts adding same URLs with similar edit summaries (added new/missing information) and similar locations (South Asia), and such similarities can also be seen at enwiki. Should they be taken care by our CUs, or should we handle them one by one as unacceptable link additions? MathXplore (talk) 14:10, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Namaste Henry accounts

I found accounts overlapping at a same company article (same name, same industry, same year of establishment, same CEO). Please note that the 2nd user is already blocked/locked, and this can be block/lock evasion. Once confirmed, I will report this to the stewards and delete the page per QD G5.

I have already blocked other relevant accounts that made edits after user:Kairofar as block evasion. However, the accounts that I initially discovered were blocked in June, but the newly found accounts in the enwiki SPI made their last edit before June. What should we do with them?

Vanderpumpstan (June 2024)

Cedricmartinez is a new account that's created several articles that are massively oversourced, all about people that are connected to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Many of the sources used are from Bravo TV, which is common for Vanderpumpstan articles, as is the extreme details and sources. Compare the article style to other articles in the last version from a previous Vanderpumpstan sock - [1], [2], [3]. New editors don't create massive articles like that, with the massive number of sources, for people that generally have marginal roles in the various shows. The user name, Cedricmartinez, is also the name of someone connected to The Real Housewives of BH, which Vanderpumpstan has done before (see 0ddotnek, which is Ken Todd backwards, husband to Lisa Vanderpump). From prior checks, CU may be a bit marginal but I feel the behavior is more than enough to block as a sock. I've added four of the most recent socks to the CU list for comparison. Ravensfire (talk) 17:22, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Loki

These two accounts have been creating negative pages of Loki. I suspect them to be the same.--Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 10:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Milad accounts

2 new accounts have landed on a new article. Please note that there is also an IP involved here that has a checkuserblock-wide at enwiki, suspicious enough for CU ? MathXplore (talk) 03:42, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was borderline. I'd feel better to return it to you, MathXplore to handle without CU action. They do share geolocation and ISP provider. Either meat or different devices or a classroom maybe? Operator873 connect 06:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vedika Dutt accounts

Vedika Dutt is a page related to Special:CentralAuth/Amansharma111 (Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive21#Amansharma111). The 1st account is involved in the article, the 2nd account made the talk page to request renaming. Others are the accounts handled in the last CU request. How can a brand new account think about requesting page renaming? MathXplore (talk) 14:41, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Small problem here: The only user I have cu user on is SpaceTake123, Sgreyapati9989 last edited on March 5, 2024. So, I can't really help you here. (And yes, Spacetake123 has a total of 4 edits, with 2 ip addresses). Eptalon (talk) 19:15, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since my previous request is archived at Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Jishnu_Raghavan_accounts, I'm revisiting this incident as a new section. The first account is the latest variant, the others are recently locked relevant accounts. As same as the previous accounts, the latest account's first move is Jishnu Raghavan (special:diff/9591449). Also, they made w:Template:Mathrubhumi Film Award for Best Male Débutante that refers to Jishnu Raghavan. Activity overlaps can also be found at d:Q15223546. Please check their relations.

malala.org accounts

Joshua Obedeke (JO) has a global record of spams related to malala.org, etc., at here and other English sister projects. Due to such activities, JO is already blocked at enwiki. Now I found that Olori Ayilala Paparazi (OAP) made an user page about malala.org but the page starts with Joshua Akporobaro Obedeke (JO's full name). Why would a new account make an user page with someone else's name and same URL? Once confirmed, please consider applying WP:ONESTRIKE to JO. MathXplore (talk) 02:41, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to alert that a brand new account has substantial activity overlaps and share similar interests with previously blocked/locked accounts in a short term.

Dhadhor accounts

As concerned in Special:Diff/9575212, we have too many accounts involved in over-reverting at this article, and some accounts have very low edit counts. Can the appearance of so many new accounts concentrate in one article in a short term less than 3 months? SeatedSnow (SS) is the latest account among this request, and their edit summary of special:diff/9580657 is a copy of our admins (special:diff/9570001). This coincidence suggests that SS already knows the status of the article in this project. Please investigate the relations between these accounts. MathXplore (talk) 04:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
