WP:DUCK - bizarre creation of identical nonsense articles [1], [2], [3]. Might not be malicious intent but clear ignorance of multiple account policy. Drm310 ( talk) 19:13, 18 October 2016 (UTC) reply

The following accounts are  Confirmed to each other:

Physics and Chemistry ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log· investigate · cuwiki) is  Technically indistinguishable from the others.

All blocked.  Clerk assistance requested: Please (re)tag as appropriate and move to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/(Chemistry), as that's the oldest account. Thanks. :-) Katie talk 01:29, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

@ KrakatoaKatie: Theory of Physics and Journal of physic don't seem to be blocked. Did you miss them? Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 03:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • This is endless. Some of these  Confirmed accounts to (Chemistry) are globally locked already and may already be listed, but it's easier for me to just put them all here. A couple didn't complete registration but I tagged them anyway.
  • Again, I'm sure there's some redundancy in the list but there are just so many. All blocked locally with tags.  Clerk assistance requested: this goes under (Chemistry). Thanks. :-) Katie talk 14:33, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Never mind. There are September accounts and maybe earlier. Let's have a better look. :) Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 14:44, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Okay, from the list above, Chemistry Center (9/22/2016 19:28) appears to be the oldest. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 14:48, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Hi Katie. Ahhh, okay, I get it now. I just saw the other SPI. It's late for me and I'll check into things tomorrow. This is an odd one. I see Hindi. Maybe this is a misunderstanding. I'll read up on the other SPI, but maybe this person is not a baddie, but rather a bit, well, bananas, or having some issue or something. Maybe we can get someone from Project India to communicate with them to get them to stop. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 15:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
@ Anna Frodesiak: They're numbering in the dozens now. They all belong to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/(Chemistry). As with many sockmasters, they want to say what they want to say and they're willing to go to extremes to do it. Maybe he's not malicious toward the project as some are, but he's certainly self-centered and we can't tolerate it. Katie talk 16:41, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Hi Katie. I understand. I agree that we cannot tolerate it. Has he spoken anywhere? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 20:53, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
@ Anna Frodesiak: I don't think so. The ones who aren't malicious often don't engage at all. Katie talk 23:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC) reply
@ KrakatoaKatie: True. This is just such an odd one. I wonder if we could get a post to him somehow. Maybe he just doesn't understand how things work and thinks if he throws enough out there, some will stick. Should I dig into globals to see if he communicates elsewhere and maybe prepare a short post in his language helping him see? DENY, save resources, and expect him to give up sooner or later is the alternative. The latter may actually be best. Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 00:11, 28 November 2016 (UTC) reply
