Over the last few months, there has been an extended edit war at Twenty:20 (film) primarily between two editors. I am submitting a separate SPI for the other sockmaster as well. Both of the editors ( User:Wiki-senetor and User:Bangbang43) in question are currently blocked (see 3RR report) and were previously both blocked for the same edit war (see 3RR report). Despite these blocks, the edit war is continuing. See history of the Twenty:20 (film) article. I'm pretty certain that User:TheWikiBug is a block evading sockpuppet of User:Wiki-senetor, having been created [1] less than an hour after Wiki-senetor was blocked [2], and conducting the same pattern of edits. The listed IPs appear to be conducting the same type of edits as well:
- TheWikiBug: [3] [4] [5]
- Wiki-senetor: [6] [7] [8]
- 49.15.137.184: [9] [10]
- 106.66.160.118: [11] [12]
- 106.66.158.205: [13] [14] [15] [16]
There may be many more abusive sockpuppets of this user, thus the request for checkuser. Thank you, -- Hammersoft ( talk) 17:20, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

- I'm not sure if it warrants mention, but the bickering by Wiki-senetor and the other user at Twenty:20 (film) reminded me of some bickering I've seen before. I think it started at Drishyam. Anyhow, I was ultimately led to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mealwaysrockz007/Archive. I haven't done anything to compare Wiki-senetor to Mealwaysrockz007, but it might be worth looking to see if either Wiki-senetor or the editor he is fighting has exhibited similar behavioral traits to Mealways. For example, Mealways (according to the SPI report) tended to speak ill of Mohanlal. Is either Wiki-senetor or the other guy doing this? OK, I'll shut up now.

Based on behavior analysis, high probability of this being a block evading sockpuppet of User:Wiki-senetor. 3 November 2014 following Wiki-senetor's week long block on 2 November 2014 (later extended to 1 month). Shortly after another sockpuppet of the same account (TheWikiBug) was blocked, began edit warring on the article where TheWikiBug had recently been edit warring (see history of List of awards and nominations received by Mohanlal). Pattern of forum shopping for blocks follows prior accounts (compare wikipedia space edits of Wiki-senetor and UniGuard. There are other proofs; please contact me for more if needed. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 19:43, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Based on behavior analysis, high probability of this being a block evading sockpuppet of User:Wiki-senetor. Following the latest sock UniGuard being blocked at 21:45, 14 November 2014 ( see block log), this account was created 09:25, 15 November 2014 ( see log). UniGuard made this edit changing "Indian film industry" to "Malayam film industry" as one of its last edits before being blocked. KatyCave made this edit doing the same thing. Multiple cross over points between KatyCave account and known sockpuppet accounts Wiki-senetor (master), TheWikiBug, and UniGuard, with KatyCave rapidly creating a 33% overlap, conducting similar edits across joint articles.

As a brief refresher, Mohanlal and Mammootty are two Indian actors. Wiki-senetor was edit-warring with other sock operators, going through ridiculous lengths to have Mohanlal's name appear before Mammootty's in various articles.
In this edit The user moves Category:Mammootty - Mohanlal combination films to Category:Mohanlal - Mammootty combination films, placing Mohanlal's name first. It seems extraordinarily trivial and arbitrary to make that change, which is why I am suspicious. His explanation "Commonly said" doesn't quite do it for me. This account is also less than 2 months old, and doing a page move with fewer than 85 edits to your name, is gutsy.
Additionally I note that here he filed a request to bypass the waiting period for autoconfirmed users. We often see that with sock accounts and paid editors; it's not an intuitive thing for a n00b to do.
The evidence isn't earth-shattering, but it may be worth a look. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 14:46, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this guy has also performed the same category move on wikidata [29]. There's another edit confirming his antipathy for Mammootty; [30] which removes a factual statement. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 17:02, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

As a brief refresher, Mohanlal and Mammootty are two Indian actors. Wiki-senetor was edit-warring with other sock operators, going through ridiculous lengths to have Mohanlal's name appear before Mammootty's in various articles.
In this edit The user moves Category:Mammootty - Mohanlal combination films to Category:Mohanlal - Mammootty combination films, placing Mohanlal's name first. It seems extraordinarily trivial and arbitrary to make that change, which is why I am suspicious. His explanation "Commonly said" doesn't quite do it for me. This account is also less than 2 months old, and doing a page move with fewer than 85 edits to your name, is gutsy.
Additionally I note that here he filed a request to bypass the waiting period for autoconfirmed users. We often see that with sock accounts and paid editors; it's not an intuitive thing for a n00b to do.
The evidence isn't earth-shattering, but it may be worth a look. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 14:46, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this guy has also performed the same category move on wikidata [29]. There's another edit confirming his antipathy for Mammootty; [30] which removes a factual statement. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 17:02, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
