Look, it's another sockpuppet who made 500 dummy edits to their userspace in order to gain extended confirmed access and immediately start disrupting Palestine-Israel articles, just like past socks User:Fexlajahd and User:Annestorm.

Looks like User:Delotrooladoo is back at it again. The user makes unwarranted edits at Palestinian articles, Jewish articles and in the below examples, articles about people of Jewish descent who are Armenian Genocide deniers. The user doesn't stop (master user was blocked on the 18th of December 2016) and even uses IPs to carry on.

This edit was recently made by a new SPA sock called User:Oo Eddie oO.

This edit was formerly made on the 5th of December 2016 by Delotrooladoo's confirmed sock User:Angelsi 1989 here, and repeated by sockpuppet IPs during the rest of the month here, here and here. See also this one here. All of those edits were made at Bernard Lewis; notice the similarities and chronological continuity.

The blocked sockpuppet User:Angelsi 1989 also made similar edits at Guenter Lewy - here and here.

It seems that this particular user only likes to focus on articles related to Jewish and Palestinian people. He even makes it clear here, on his own unblock request.

  •  Additional information needed - @ 331dot: In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:35, 14 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Four years ago user Sheilub, a confirmed sock puppet of Buenos Aires-based AndresHerutJaim, attributed various unsolved attacks under "Hezbollah" category (see: [53] [54] [55] [56] [57]), and in past few days he is trying to restore the same category back. All IPs are Buenos Aires-based and modus operandi regarding Israel-related articles is the same. His disrupting activity did not stop in late 2015 as suggested on an investigation page, meanwhile he has used other socks like AmirSurfLera which are already blocked for abusing multiple accounts/IPs, and such IPs (181.103.223.13) are again Buenos Aires-based. -- 2A01:5EC0:8:B95C:652F:F885:BFEE:8301 ( talk) 05:46, 11 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Everything started from Talk:Ali Khamenei#Power base when Icewhiz, who had started editing the article on 17 September 2017, reverted my edit. After the discussion began, another user, with no further edits on the article, entered the story and supported Icewhiz. The user was DarkKing Rayleigh with no precedented edits on the article. The two accounts are both editing similar articles and were nearly "always there when needed" (see these edits or more specifically [58] and [59]). Further investigations into the newer account, shows that he started editing less than 2 months ago meanwhile he could do edits not expected from a newbie.

Comment by Icewhiz

I have noticed DarkKing Rayleigh acting on a number of Islamic/Islam related articles (specifically 4) - which is not "my main thing" here, though I have touched this in the past 1-2 months. Per - Interaction analyzer on Council on American–Islamic Relations, Linda Sarsour, Talk:Ali Khamenei, and Zuhdi Jasser. I responded to a Talk:Israel ECP request by him (one of several respondents) - as it was on my watchlist. And he removed an image (does not seem to be controversial) after an edit I made on University of Haifa which was unrelated to his action. I do now know why he chose to edit those articles, though some of them are obvious -

  1. Linda Sarsour was all over a number of noticeboards NPVN, RSN - which got me involved
  2. Zuhdi Jasser, I branched out to Jasser after he was brought up on Linda Sarsour, where he also edited.
  3. I got to CAIR after Sarsour, perhaps his vector was the same.
  4. Stumped by Khamenei, as this was a fairly random selection by me following work on a number of Iran related articles, and into I which I got involved after seeing well-sourced information being removed.

In any event, I am not him. Icewhiz ( talk) 14:12, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Addendum - I'll note that the interaction level between Mhhossein and MehrdadFR [60], who just got blocked at AE previous to this report is larger - though I'm not planning to file a Sockpuppet investigation as they do not seem to be the same (though they are in contact via e-mail it would seem ( [61])). I also sent Mhhossein a courteous request to self-revert following a 1RR vio by him on Ali Khamenei, which he did. Icewhiz ( talk) 14:38, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Addendum2 - Also it seems DarkKing Rayleigh edits quite a bit at hours I'm asleep in my usual timezone (particularly 0-4 - Icewhiz wmflabs - Time card, DarkKing Rayleigh - wmflabs - Time card), and on days on which I edit less (I do edit on Friday and Saturday - but much less than other days (I tend to be out and about, and not next to a desktop). He seems to be editing quite a bit on Friday, and not at all on Saturday). Icewhiz ( talk) 14:58, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • I consider this to be a disruptive and invalid SPI that should be speedily closed. I request that the filer of this SPI be given a warning about filing frivolous SPIs in the area of ARB/PIA as a means to intimidate those who disagree with him/her. Please see also my ANI report. Dr. K. 17:42, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Additional comment: Per the clerk's findings, that Icewhiz, the named target of this investigation, is innocent of the sock allegations leveled against him by Mhhossein, and per Mhhossein's original intent to file an SPI against me, I request that the initiator of this SPI should be strongly cautioned against such future attacks against established good-faith editors.

Like previous socks in that case, DKR's first 10 edits are minor random changes, followed by immediately returning to a semiprotected article (a semiprotected template in this case) and repeating the disruption of past socks; editing interests also overlap with past cases very closely.

Like almost all other socks, made a single edit almost immediately after registration (in this case, registered at 02:34 with first edit at 02:35), concerned with POV-pushing on topics pertaining to Geert Wilders/description of his ideology, as well as Islamophobia.

  •  Additional information needed - @ 331dot: In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:35, 14 July 2017 (UTC) reply
I was mostly relying on what Doug Weller said here. However looking at a few of the edits made by established socks of this user, the attitude seems consistent. The attitude of the IP users seem consistent with that named user as well. 331dot ( talk) 17:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC) reply
We don't normally comment on IPs. However, if this is a sock, I suspect blocking wouldn't help as they'd just get another IP address, so I've semi-protected the article for 2 weeks. Doug Weller talk 18:08, 14 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Four years ago user Sheilub, a confirmed sock puppet of Buenos Aires-based AndresHerutJaim, attributed various unsolved attacks under "Hezbollah" category (see: [53] [54] [55] [56] [57]), and in past few days he is trying to restore the same category back. All IPs are Buenos Aires-based and modus operandi regarding Israel-related articles is the same. His disrupting activity did not stop in late 2015 as suggested on an investigation page, meanwhile he has used other socks like AmirSurfLera which are already blocked for abusing multiple accounts/IPs, and such IPs (181.103.223.13) are again Buenos Aires-based. -- 2A01:5EC0:8:B95C:652F:F885:BFEE:8301 ( talk) 05:46, 11 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Everything started from Talk:Ali Khamenei#Power base when Icewhiz, who had started editing the article on 17 September 2017, reverted my edit. After the discussion began, another user, with no further edits on the article, entered the story and supported Icewhiz. The user was DarkKing Rayleigh with no precedented edits on the article. The two accounts are both editing similar articles and were nearly "always there when needed" (see these edits or more specifically [58] and [59]). Further investigations into the newer account, shows that he started editing less than 2 months ago meanwhile he could do edits not expected from a newbie.

Comment by Icewhiz

I have noticed DarkKing Rayleigh acting on a number of Islamic/Islam related articles (specifically 4) - which is not "my main thing" here, though I have touched this in the past 1-2 months. Per - Interaction analyzer on Council on American–Islamic Relations, Linda Sarsour, Talk:Ali Khamenei, and Zuhdi Jasser. I responded to a Talk:Israel ECP request by him (one of several respondents) - as it was on my watchlist. And he removed an image (does not seem to be controversial) after an edit I made on University of Haifa which was unrelated to his action. I do now know why he chose to edit those articles, though some of them are obvious -

  1. Linda Sarsour was all over a number of noticeboards NPVN, RSN - which got me involved
  2. Zuhdi Jasser, I branched out to Jasser after he was brought up on Linda Sarsour, where he also edited.
  3. I got to CAIR after Sarsour, perhaps his vector was the same.
  4. Stumped by Khamenei, as this was a fairly random selection by me following work on a number of Iran related articles, and into I which I got involved after seeing well-sourced information being removed.

In any event, I am not him. Icewhiz ( talk) 14:12, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Addendum - I'll note that the interaction level between Mhhossein and MehrdadFR [60], who just got blocked at AE previous to this report is larger - though I'm not planning to file a Sockpuppet investigation as they do not seem to be the same (though they are in contact via e-mail it would seem ( [61])). I also sent Mhhossein a courteous request to self-revert following a 1RR vio by him on Ali Khamenei, which he did. Icewhiz ( talk) 14:38, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Addendum2 - Also it seems DarkKing Rayleigh edits quite a bit at hours I'm asleep in my usual timezone (particularly 0-4 - Icewhiz wmflabs - Time card, DarkKing Rayleigh - wmflabs - Time card), and on days on which I edit less (I do edit on Friday and Saturday - but much less than other days (I tend to be out and about, and not next to a desktop). He seems to be editing quite a bit on Friday, and not at all on Saturday). Icewhiz ( talk) 14:58, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment by Dr. K.
  • I consider this to be a disruptive and invalid SPI that should be speedily closed. I request that the filer of this SPI be given a warning about filing frivolous SPIs in the area of ARB/PIA as a means to intimidate those who disagree with him/her. Please see also my ANI report. Dr. K. 17:42, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Additional comment: Per the clerk's findings, that Icewhiz, the named target of this investigation, is innocent of the sock allegations leveled against him by Mhhossein, and per Mhhossein's original intent to file an SPI against me, I request that the initiator of this SPI should be strongly cautioned against such future attacks against established good-faith editors.

  •  On hold - a first glance at contribs shows behaviour worth investigating. Leaving this note so that this isn't closed prematurely. Please feel free to add additional evidence/comments while this case remains "on hold". Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 18:42, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  •  Clerk declined with respect to Icewhiz. I believe they're an innocent editor caught up in this, at least as far as sockpuppetry goes, and I'm not commenting on anything else here. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 19:05, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  •  Clerk endorsed - please check DarkKing Rayleigh ( talk · contribs) against socks in the archive of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Delotrooladoo, such as KWcMc10 ( talk · contribs) and Chupamus Vergus ( talk · contribs). Like previous socks in that case, DKR's first 10 edits are minor random changes, followed by immediately returning to a semiprotected article (a semiprotected template in this case) and repeating the disruption of past socks; editing interests also overlap with past cases very closely. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 19:05, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • I see PhilKnight is on the case--he just beat me to it. So this is just my two cents--yes, I agree re:DarkKing, and let's rename this quickly--it's unfortunate that IceWhiz's name now appears in the CU log. Drmies ( talk) 03:38, 20 September 2017 (UTC) reply
I agree. Since I intend not to leave a redirect here, I'll wait to close the case first. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 12:59, 20 September 2017 (UTC) reply
DarkKing Rayleigh is  Likely, bordering on  Confirmed, to be a sock of Delotrooladoo. I haven't checked Icewhiz since I fully concur with the comments above. I'll go and hand DKR a nice fresh indef now; @ Ivanvector:, would you mind shunting this over to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Delotrooladoo, please? Yunshui  15:16, 20 September 2017 (UTC) reply

In addition, the account displays the same problems with WP:OWNnership in the same topic area as past sockpuppets. Note further intersection here: [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71].
