"TrustMeeBro" [5] joined Wikipedia an hour ago. And right Ishara TV is contributing. There are also some IPs that have been contributed by these users everywhere. Contributing at the same place. PravinGanechari ( talk) 16:49, 10 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• Hi Bbb23 , Add two IPs and one User to this

  Hi Bbb23 , Sorry for my mistake , This page List of programmes broadcast by Dangal TV has three users previously blocked. This new user is contributing to it. suspects that this belongs to that group. The other two IPs are contributing to the same page where this user has contributed.

  A Kannada message has been left on my Talk page on Hindi Wikipedia by user "Ishqyk" No problem. Just keep blocking. Don't let edit mode in English Wikipedia, even if it's not Hindi [8] PravinGanechari ( talk) 11:14, 18 August 2022 (UTC) reply

The closing admin may want to look at Crazycrain's unblock request. They've got a really good case.😉 Mako001  (C)   (T)  🇺🇦 09:18, 16 August 2022 (UTC) reply

I've blocked Special:contributions/117.224.0.0/17 for one week.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:48, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• CheckUser requested - Because of the speed with which this master is creating new accounts, I'm requesting CU to confirm the two new named accounts and look for others. Bbb23 ( talk) 14:35, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• @ PravinGanechari: You can add new suspected socks to the list yourself, as you've done before, but you should always add evidence for each new user/account, which you have not always done. I appreciate your vigilance, but that doesn't change the requirements of this noticeboard. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:45, 12 August 2022 (UTC) reply
•  In progress - -- RoySmith (talk) 14:56, 14 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• Ishqyk, BlueHeart0, Syntax20, Crazycrain are all  Confirmed to each other. Seglei is  Likely to that group. TrustMeeBro and Anmol singh 02 are  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to each other, but only  Possible to the rest of them. I'm not going to attempt to look for sleepers. There's either a large number of distinct devices being used, or somebody is deliberately obfuscating the UA strings, so  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation.  No comment with respect to IP address(es) -- RoySmith (talk) 15:11, 14 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• I'm (re)tagging/(re)blocking the ones I confirmed. I'll let a clerk figure the other ones out. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:15, 14 August 2022 (UTC) reply
• The remaining accounts have made 1 edit each, not enough to block behaviourally. The IPs are all over the place and not recently active. Closing. Spicy ( talk) 23:11, 30 August 2022 (UTC) reply

• nearly all edits are tagged with "mobile edit" and "mobile web edit", like other socks
• quite a bit of overlap with other socks:
  • Draft:Bindiya Sarkaar, which was edited by Syntax20
  • Ishara TV, which was edited by several previously suspected socks
  • List of programmes broadcast by Dangal TV, which was edited by Crazycrain
• this edit is also suspicious

I think this may belong with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Entertainment4Reality (interactions with Kosnsnkjsjsbbs ( talk · contribs) and Entertainment4Reality ( talk · contribs)), or Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Hussan_Naqvi (because of the interactions with Rkjt ( talk · contribs)). —  Ingenuity ( talk •  contribs) 16:54, 2 January 2023 (UTC) reply

• The master has been renamed (Ishqyk->SyntaxErrors098 so I've moved the case accordingly. -- Blablubbs ( talk) 17:22, 2 January 2023 (UTC) reply
•  In progress. -- Blablubbs ( talk) 17:24, 2 January 2023 (UTC) reply
• Asehids is  Confirmed to suspected sock Devzerk ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) and very  Likely to the master.  No sleepers immediately visible, at least none I'd be comfortable calling out as such.  Blocked and tagged, no TPA since the master doesn't have it either. Closing. -- Blablubbs ( talk) 17:35, 2 January 2023 (UTC) reply

  Addendum: They don't look like a good technical match for Entertainment4Reality, although I suppose it's possible (but would be a little strange, based on the data). -- Blablubbs ( talk) 17:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC) reply

• Okay, hold onto your butts. The checkuser data shows that all of these accounts are  Technically indistinguishable:
  • SyntaxErrors098 ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) (currently blocked as a master)
  • Goldenbluesoul ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) (confirmed to Shezthz, suspected sock of Leo Francis 92)
  • Shezthz ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) (currently blocked as a master)
• Based on notes from cuwiki these accounts are  Confirmed to SyntaxErrors098, and at best  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely) to Leo Francis 92. They are  Inconclusive to Jha09 due to lack of data. I may be back with more, I have to run. Ivanvector ( ^Talk/ _Edits) 15:00, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
• Radiusofworld ( talk ⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki) is part of this group, I forgot to include them. And just in case it needs to be said, Mdaniels5757 is an ACC patroller and I did not check them.
•  Clerk assistance requested: please copy this report to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SyntaxErrors098 (leave a copy here, please). When [re-]tagging it's not necessary to note that they're also suspected to Leo Francis 92: there are so many promofarms in this region that "suspected" connections just cause confusion. Ivanvector ( ^Talk/ _Edits) 17:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  Please also re-tag Zedgehog 2.0. Based on the available logs and data they match this case much more closely to Leo Francis 92, who I don't believe is still active. Courtesy ping Girth Summit in case I missed something. Ivanvector ( ^Talk/ _Edits) 20:57, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  No problem with this if you're confident, Ivanvector. Might be worthwhile retagging Shezthz and Goldenbluesoul as well, who I thought were acting in cahoots with Zedgehog. Girth Summit _(blether) 10:08, 22 April 2023 (UTC) reply
