To verify if Rafrye is a sockpuppet of indefinitely blocked user Mikemikev, banned for disruption at articles related to Race and Intelligence. Indicia per WP:DUCK strongly suggests that Rafrye is a sock of Mikemikev, the user registered shortly after several IP socks had been banned and the user is preoccupied with the same topics and has the same POV's as Mikemikev and the same style of posting - right down to using "boasian" as a pejorative and selfidentifying as a genetician. ·Maunus·ƛ· 00:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

In all cases the editing patterns are identical to that of the indefinitely blocked user Mikemikev ( talk · contribs). The second and third accounts have been blocked because they violated policy on usernames. The first account appeared today and was tentatively identified as Mikemikev by Maunus ( talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA). [1] Since being blocked, Mikemikev has also edited using UK IPs which have not been listed. Mathsci ( talk) 18:17, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
See Defending yourself against claims.
Since his community ban during WP:ARBR&I, later confirmed by ArbCom, Mikemikev has created a series of sockpuppet accounts, some of which have been overtly antisemitic and one of which targeted Slrubenstein ( talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA). Mikemikev edits from London. The IP above was used for a logged off edit of Oo Yun on the article Franz Boas. [5] The other edits of Oo Yun on Talk:Franz Boas have been antisemitic and highly problematic, with personal attacks on the three administrators intervening there (Dougweller and Maunus, in addition to Slrubenstein). The language used by Oo Yun in the edit summary of this diff [6] Nah, you're liars. Better to die than contribute to short term gangsterism. is similar to that used by Mikemikev, for example here [7] :I would rather die than be unblocked. The choice of article and the slurs by Oo Yun are consistent with the type of tendentious and highly offensive edits of Mikemikev that precipitated his ban.

Huh? I don't know half of these usernames. Why would I make a sockpuppet with hundreds of History of Art edits (TisTRU), and then use a sockpuppet which I recently admitted was me (StudiousBob) to edit an article where I know the likes of Marginalia will be hiding under the nearest rock (nice work BTW sleuth!). I think you blocked some users from the Slade School of Fine Art, while you're playing Internet cowboy and "blocking" people. Perhaps using your brain may help? If I wanted to evade detection, wouldn't I use the account with which I hadn't recently announced the connection to 'mikemikev'? The incomptence and jumped up amateur dramatics of this place never cease to amuse me. It's funny to see how easy it would be to avoid detection if I actually bothered. BTW, watch how my edits stand.

Seems to be British and trolling, using the same overtly racist lines of argument as Mikemikev [9]. (BT=British Telecom seems likely.) Some time would be probably be saved for checkusers and other editors if the talk pages of Talk:Race (classification of humans) and Talk:Race and intelligence were semiprotected for longer periods against IPs and non autoconfirmed accounts. (Note that revert warring on the latter by anon IPs has already required admin intervention under WP:ARBR&I. [10]) Mathsci ( talk) 06:08, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
This one doesn't sound like Mikemikev to me-for one thing, the two sound a bit different when they try to insult or intimidate me. (He's probably followed Tholzel here, perhaps from one of the innumerable "pure race rights" internet gathering places where quote mined and spin-synthed bits of Cavalli-Sforza, Dawkins, Nei and Roychoudhury are featured elements in the remaking and recycling of race myths. And he probably had prior experience editing before assuming this identity. It could be he sounds like Mikemikev because they're both products of the same "white race rights" internet culture.)
The topic attracts p'd off pov-pushers here to right-great-wrongs. Mathsci has a small handful of revengeful stalkers eager to t' him off. Several topic banned editors have resorted to socking, meatpuppetry, canvassing, open proxy ip and complementary wi-fi itinerancy and all the rest. I really don't understand why much volunteer time should be diverted to arriving at the most accurate diagnosis of transparently disruptive editors. BT35 obviously qualifies to one of them.

First of all the IP left these messages identifying himself as Mikemikev on User talk:LessHeard vanU [13] and on WP:ANI [14]. I reverted both messages at 18:54, with WP:DENY in the edit summaries. Shortly after 19:00 BT35 restored both messages with the edit summary "WP:GIT" ( git being a British insult). [15] [16] Per WP:DUCK, this seems to confirm that, however Mikemikev is accessing WP, BT35 is a sockpuppet and so probably should be blocked indefinitely. (BT35 just came off a 48 hour block today.)

QuintupleTwist edits in a similar way to Mikemikev, primarily pushing race as a biological concept on the same narrow set of articles, making very few article edits and arguing in an unhelpful way on article talk pages. Recently Maunus performed a 3 month self-block and QuintupleTwist almost immediately made a radical change to the lede of Race (classification of humans) in accordance with his biological point of view. He has restored that lede twice. At the same time a confirmed ipsock of Mikemikev 86.180.46.1 [19] trolled ANI in a thread started by Maunus only hours after the first IP 94.116.41.96 announced Maunus' self-block, also in a trolling way. Maunus has repeatedly blocked IP socks of Mikemikev and has frequently been trolled on articles and talk pages by IP socks and sockpuppet accounts of Mikemikev. For these reasons I suspect that QuintupleTwist may be yet another sockpuppet of Mikemikev. Mathsci ( talk) 12:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Nam84 is evidently not a new user. He started editing highly tendentiously as soon as the account was created and was blocked for edit warring. The highly circular mode of argumentation on Talk:J. Philippe Rushton seems similar to Mikemikev: an attempt to wind another user up by repeatedly making fallacious claims with comments that verge on personal attacks. The spelling is British ("behaviour"). The IP, perhaps posting from a cybercafé in London, appears to have attempted to cover their edits to an WP:ARBR&I related user talk page by making superficial edits to an article previously edited by the same IP. Unfortunately that was over one year ago. Mathsci ( talk) 04:05, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

This IP is from a range already blocked by Shell Kinney for three months because it had been used extensively by Mikemikev for socking from vodafone mobile accounts. The two three edits by this IP to user talk pages are evidently from Mikemikev. (He has recently been posting racist comments about wikipedia accounts on Stormfront and Encyclopedia Dramatica.) As on previous occasions, he has attempted to cover his edits by editing a previous topic used by the IP.

It's hard to know what to make of these edits, but there is an antisemitic side, a blatant pushing of outdated race issues, plus a targeting or trailing of Maunus (who has been fixing up edits by Ephert ( talk · contribs)). The blatant copyvios on images on Commons, which I have listed for speedy deletion there, are not quite what I would expect.

The editing involves a copyvio file, that an editor with the same username has added on Commons.

The edit summaries and foul language on user talk pages (racist BNP rant) are typical of Mikemikev. The second IP has now been blocked, but I'm not quite sure why Favonian aquiesced with this banned user, who has been abusing a computer account at ICL for a long time now, as the archives show.

Much worse than ever before: it almost beggars belief. By accident, when searching on the web for the editorial duties of Slrubenstein for the article Steven Rubenstein, I discovered this external posting by Mikemikev. [52] Mikemikev then several hours later added the same material to the wikipedia article, not once, but twice. The IP has already been blocked: this report is for the record.

Usual article, identical edits [53] to previous set of ipsocks from ICL. [54] The usual trolling edit summaries have now been supplemented by a trolling message on the user page.

Recently created account. All four articles are associated with R&I and have been previously edited by socks of Mikemikev. The account edited logged off from an IP in China, which has been confirmed as an open proxy on WP:OP (by both Spitfire and Sailsbystars) and blocked by Materialscientist for two years. [94] The timing of the creation of this account has been slightly confused by the block of the range 101.0.71.0/24, which has resulted in two postings using two other open proxies. In the second posting the user, previously editing in the blocked range, stated that he was not editing using the account PsychKitten.

First two are connected through Race (human classification) and the related discussion here. Kobayashi has been on this page for at least a month and a half, and has been blocked for it at least once. In a recent discussion on a different page, Kobayashi accused others of stonewalling, and was indef blocked as a result of this AN/I discussion. SpaceBobber's first edit (see contribs here, they're not that long and I want to go to sleep instead of copying diffs) is reporting User:Maunus and User:BlackHades for stonewalling on the first mentioned page, who Kobayashi was fighting with on, and posting notifications on their talks with deceptive edit summaries. I note that User:Johnuniq noted his suspicion of SpaceBobber as a sock on the NPOV noticeboard, and Maunus has noted the similarities to User:Mikemikev. SpaceBobber is connected to GreenLighterSam, because when I opened an AfD on the articles GLS recently created (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of American fraudsters of Jewish descent), it was SpaceBobber who responded aggressively at the discussion - GLS seems like a throwaway account. The discussion turned out that the article had been created by a User:MelangePasty (who is also indeff'd), and was deleted; see this AN/I discussion for more info. MelangePasty was mentioned in a previous SPI for Mikemikev.
So, to summarize: K245 (indeff'd) and SB are linked by Race (human classification), which seems like a typical Mikemikev hangout. SB is linked to GLS by List of American fraudsters of Jewish descent, and both are linked to probable Mikemikev sock MP because it had been already created by them.

A CU on Melange did find the account to be a possible match in addition to the behavioral evidence pointing to it as a sock of Mikemikev. SpaceBobber's behavior seems indistinguishable from Melange and has a similar style to Mikemikev.

[151] The two sets of edits connected to Mercer Island do not chime with Mikemikev's style and suggest local knowledge (the use of the abbreviation MI in an edit summary [152]).

First, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Tiny_Dancer_48. I've suspected this user is Mikemikev, but didn't have enough evidence at the time. I think I do now.

User:User:KrakatoaKatie blocked him for 48 hours for personal attacks. Immediately afterwards TD posts ":::Bye for now US kike slave. Tiny Dancer 48 ( talk) 18:59, 20 September 2016 (UTC)" [157] and after that "oh no I used an "ethnic slur" while kikes demonize and genocide whites". I've blocked him indefinitely.

I do not think that this is Mikemikev. The reference to a posting of ArtifexMayhem (17 February 2015) in one of the diffs was to comments in response to 24.44.181.147 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS). That IP was blocked as an ipsock of banned user Tholzel ( talk · contribs). That North American IP is from the same ISP as the current IP, continues the same narrative, so is almost certainly Tholzel and not Mikemikev, who currently uses either London University IPs or café internet providers, such as Cloud.

In reviewing Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Mikemikev, this seems like a DUCK to me. I'd ask for CU, but I don't know if there are any fresh enough socks to compare to (certainly not in the SPI archive).
This user's first edit was on Talk:Race_and_intelligence#Mainstream_view_in_biology, a perennial haunt of Mikemikev. In it, the user complains about strawmen, "voting", and sociologists. I'll provide diffs momentarily. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
SDPhelps wrote:
"The current mainstream view in the social sciences and biology is that race is a social construction based on folk ideologies that construct groups based on social disparities and superficial physical characteristics." This is referenced to a 2008 article. This is surely a question of fact, not voting? Race as used by the people these people seek to strawman is defined by shared ancestry rather than superficial characteristics, as it always was, from Blumenbach through Darwin. No amount of voting can change that. Where in the article does it say most biologists agree with this? Most sociologists might, but it is really not their field (needless to say they are all wrong, it is not a matter of opinion).
This closely matches the comments of past socks. Compare this to:

I was recently emailed about a Mikemikev sock-puppet. Mikemikev has a long history of trolling the Race (human categorization) talk-page arguing with other editors [208]. For example, he did that on his account Mbutu Collins and many others going back years. The talking points on Redundant Farmhand seem to match what Mikemikev has written on many of his other socks such as Mbutu Collins. He seems to have an obsession with defending pseudoscientific race ideas of Blumenbach [209] compared to [210] and [211]. He does that on three accounts Redundant Farmhand and Retired Farmer and Beet Farmer which match edits made on Mbutu Collins. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 23:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

I was recently emailed by someone who has been looking out for Mikemikev socks on Wikipedia. I filed a previous SPI against Mikemikev last month. He was on the account Redundant Farmhand arguing about race on the Race (human categorization) talk-page. He was blocked on the 14 February.
I believe the information I received is accurate that Angillo and Spork Wielder are socks of Mikemikev. This user has a long history of editing the Race and intelligence and History of the race and intelligence controversy talk-pages on short-lived accounts.
Mikemikev has a long history going back years of editing the Race and intelligence article on different socks. Spork Wielder and Angillo use the exact same writing style and arguments of Mikemikev. Spork Wielder was a single purpose throwaway account. Angillo joined Wikipedia only yesterday to continue where Spork Wielder left off. As another use noted Angillo is merely re-initiating the same discussion as the one Spork Wielder had made above on the race and intelligence talk-page [216]. Mikemikev has had hundreds of socks. I think the admins must be aware of what his arguing style is about race. The behavior on both accounts ticks all the boxes that this is Mikemikev.

@ Doug Weller: I looked at the single contribution of Jimmy Croquette [227] and noticed a suspicious similarity with a comment by Markbassett at Talk:Race and intelligence just a few hours prior: [228]. Note: 1) the use of "Cheers" by both accounts, and 2) that Jimmy Croquette appears to be referring to the same RfC where Markbassett is in the extreme minority, and that Jimmy Croquette is pushing essentially the same position. I'm not suggesting that this is a slam dunk by any means (really, the main clue is "Cheers"), but perhaps worth check-user? If they are indeed the same person it would be especially serious because Markbassett is an extended-confirmed account. If both are Mikemikev it would mean that this notorious sockmaster has been using a "legit" account for many years. Generalrelative ( talk) 19:28, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Mikemikev has a long history of editing the Race (human categorization) article talk-page and others with accounts with "farmer" in the name such as Badger Farmer [240] Beet Farmer [241] or Redundant Farmhand [242]. The recent account RedundantFarmer edited this same article [243].
Mikemikev also has a history of impersonating far-right individuals such as Edward Dutton, Richard Lynn or Emil Kirkegaard (he sometimes spoofs their usernames), for example [244]. The recent "Emil O. W. Kirkegaard" reads as typical Mikemikev trolling, attacking other editors as being 'communists' [245]. Both the RedundantFarmer and Emil O. W. Kirkegaard accounts edited the same article talk-page within minutes of each other [246].

Mikemikev edits from London. The IP above was used for a logged off edit of Oo Yun on the article Franz Boas. [5] The other edits of Oo Yun on Talk:Franz Boas have been antisemitic and highly problematic, with personal attacks on the three administrators intervening there (Dougweller and Maunus, in addition to Slrubenstein). The language used by Oo Yun in the edit summary of this diff [6] Nah, you're liars. Better to die than contribute to short term gangsterism. is similar to that used by Mikemikev, for example here [7] :I would rather die than be unblocked.

Mikemikev is a currently community banned editor and persistent puppeteer. The discussion here shows StudiousBob and the IP responding as mikemikev, and leaving veiled insults against two of mikemikev's personal targets. Professor marginalia ( talk) 22:53, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Huh? I don't know half of these usernames. Why would I make a sockpuppet with hundreds of History of Art edits (TisTRU), and then use a sockpuppet which I recently admitted was me (StudiousBob) to edit an article where I know the likes of Marginalia will be hiding under the nearest rock (nice work BTW sleuth!). I think you blocked some users from the Slade School of Fine Art, while you're playing Internet cowboy and "blocking" people. Perhaps using your brain may help? If I wanted to evade detection, wouldn't I use the account with which I hadn't recently announced the connection to 'mikemikev'? The incomptence and jumped up amateur dramatics of this place never cease to amuse me. It's funny to see how easy it would be to avoid detection if I actually bothered. BTW, watch how my edits stand. The problem is that commie scum like Marginalia "DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH!" Seeya. Mikemikev2 ( talk) 13:02, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Seems to be British and trolling, using the same overtly racist lines of argument as Mikemikev [9]. (BT=British Telecom seems likely.) Some time would be probably be saved for checkusers and other editors if the talk pages of Talk:Race (classification of humans) and Talk:Race and intelligence were semiprotected for longer periods against IPs and non autoconfirmed accounts. (Note that revert warring on the latter by anon IPs has already required admin intervention under WP:ARBR&I. [10]) Mathsci ( talk) 06:08, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
This one doesn't sound like Mikemikev to me-for one thing, the two sound a bit different when they try to insult or intimidate me. (He's probably followed Tholzel here, perhaps from one of the innumerable "pure race rights" internet gathering places where quote mined and spin-synthed bits of Cavalli-Sforza, Dawkins, Nei and Roychoudhury are featured elements in the remaking and recycling of race myths. And he probably had prior experience editing before assuming this identity. It could be he sounds like Mikemikev because they're both products of the same "white race rights" internet culture.)
The topic attracts p'd off pov-pushers here to right-great-wrongs. Mathsci has a small handful of revengeful stalkers eager to t' him off. Several topic banned editors have resorted to socking, meatpuppetry, canvassing, open proxy ip and complementary wi-fi itinerancy and all the rest. I really don't understand why much volunteer time should be diverted to arriving at the most accurate diagnosis of transparently disruptive editors. BT35 obviously qualifies to one of them.

First of all the IP left these messages identifying himself as Mikemikev on User talk:LessHeard vanU [13] and on WP:ANI [14]. I reverted both messages at 18:54, with WP:DENY in the edit summaries. Shortly after 19:00 BT35 restored both messages with the edit summary "WP:GIT" ( git being a British insult). [15] [16] Per WP:DUCK, this seems to confirm that, however Mikemikev is accessing WP, BT35 is a sockpuppet and so probably should be blocked indefinitely. (BT35 just came off a 48 hour block today.)

QuintupleTwist edits in a similar way to Mikemikev, primarily pushing race as a biological concept on the same narrow set of articles, making very few article edits and arguing in an unhelpful way on article talk pages. Recently Maunus performed a 3 month self-block and QuintupleTwist almost immediately made a radical change to the lede of Race (classification of humans) in accordance with his biological point of view. He has restored that lede twice. At the same time a confirmed ipsock of Mikemikev 86.180.46.1 [19] trolled ANI in a thread started by Maunus only hours after the first IP 94.116.41.96 announced Maunus' self-block, also in a trolling way. Maunus has repeatedly blocked IP socks of Mikemikev and has frequently been trolled on articles and talk pages by IP socks and sockpuppet accounts of Mikemikev. For these reasons I suspect that QuintupleTwist may be yet another sockpuppet of Mikemikev. Mathsci ( talk) 12:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Nam84 is evidently not a new user. He started editing highly tendentiously as soon as the account was created and was blocked for edit warring. The highly circular mode of argumentation on Talk:J. Philippe Rushton seems similar to Mikemikev: an attempt to wind another user up by repeatedly making fallacious claims with comments that verge on personal attacks. The spelling is British ("behaviour"). The IP, perhaps posting from a cybercafé in London, appears to have attempted to cover their edits to an WP:ARBR&I related user talk page by making superficial edits to an article previously edited by the same IP. Unfortunately that was over one year ago. Mathsci ( talk) 04:05, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

This IP is from a range already blocked by Shell Kinney for three months because it had been used extensively by Mikemikev for socking from vodafone mobile accounts. The two three edits by this IP to user talk pages are evidently from Mikemikev. (He has recently been posting racist comments about wikipedia accounts on Stormfront and Encyclopedia Dramatica.) As on previous occasions, he has attempted to cover his edits by editing a previous topic used by the IP.

It's hard to know what to make of these edits, but there is an antisemitic side, a blatant pushing of outdated race issues, plus a targeting or trailing of Maunus (who has been fixing up edits by Ephert ( talk · contribs)). The blatant copyvios on images on Commons, which I have listed for speedy deletion there, are not quite what I would expect.

The editing involves a copyvio file, that an editor with the same username has added on Commons.

Recently created account. All four articles are associated with R&I and have been previously edited by socks of Mikemikev. The account edited logged off from an IP in China, which has been confirmed as an open proxy on WP:OP (by both Spitfire and Sailsbystars) and blocked by Materialscientist for two years. [94] The timing of the creation of this account has been slightly confused by the block of the range 101.0.71.0/24, which has resulted in two postings using two other open proxies. In the second posting the user, previously editing in the blocked range, stated that he was not editing using the account PsychKitten.

First two are connected through Race (human classification) and the related discussion here. Kobayashi has been on this page for at least a month and a half, and has been blocked for it at least once. In a recent discussion on a different page, Kobayashi accused others of stonewalling, and was indef blocked as a result of this AN/I discussion. SpaceBobber's first edit (see contribs here, they're not that long and I want to go to sleep instead of copying diffs) is reporting User:Maunus and User:BlackHades for stonewalling on the first mentioned page, who Kobayashi was fighting with on, and posting notifications on their talks with deceptive edit summaries. I note that User:Johnuniq noted his suspicion of SpaceBobber as a sock on the NPOV noticeboard, and Maunus has noted the similarities to User:Mikemikev. SpaceBobber is connected to GreenLighterSam, because when I opened an AfD on the articles GLS recently created (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of American fraudsters of Jewish descent), it was SpaceBobber who responded aggressively at the discussion - GLS seems like a throwaway account. The discussion turned out that the article had been created by a User:MelangePasty (who is also indeff'd), and was deleted; see this AN/I discussion for more info. MelangePasty was mentioned in a previous SPI for Mikemikev.
So, to summarize: K245 (indeff'd) and SB are linked by Race (human classification), which seems like a typical Mikemikev hangout. SB is linked to GLS by List of American fraudsters of Jewish descent, and both are linked to probable Mikemikev sock MP because it had been already created by them.

A CU on Melange did find the account to be a possible match in addition to the behavioral evidence pointing to it as a sock of Mikemikev. SpaceBobber's behavior seems indistinguishable from Melange and has a similar style to Mikemikev.

A new account has popped up today at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cold winters theory to not only contest @ Maunus:'s Afd but also profess that he knows the "history" of the nominator -- despite the fact that this account was created today. So clearly he's been around, in some guise. I realize this isn't the strongest behaviourial evidence and my efforts to find something more specific have not yet been successful.

With no meaningful edits elsewhere, David Mendlesohn arrived on Talk:Race (human categorization) and immediately started making the same arguments that the banned user Mikemikev always does, using many of the same terms. See here for his comments to date and compare especially to here. While he's only posted a little so far, I think there's enough to justify starting a sockpuppet investigation:

I do not think that this is Mikemikev. The reference to a posting of ArtifexMayhem (17 February 2015) in one of the diffs was to comments in response to 24.44.181.147 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS). That IP was blocked as an ipsock of banned user Tholzel ( talk · contribs). That North American IP is from the same ISP as the current IP, continues the same narrative, so is almost certainly Tholzel and not Mikemikev, who currently uses either London University IPs or café internet providers, such as Cloud.

In reviewing Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Mikemikev, this seems like a DUCK to me. I'd ask for CU, but I don't know if there are any fresh enough socks to compare to (certainly not in the SPI archive).
This user's first edit was on Talk:Race_and_intelligence#Mainstream_view_in_biology, a perennial haunt of Mikemikev. In it, the user complains about strawmen, "voting", and sociologists. I'll provide diffs momentarily. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
SDPhelps wrote:
"The current mainstream view in the social sciences and biology is that race is a social construction based on folk ideologies that construct groups based on social disparities and superficial physical characteristics." This is referenced to a 2008 article. This is surely a question of fact, not voting? Race as used by the people these people seek to strawman is defined by shared ancestry rather than superficial characteristics, as it always was, from Blumenbach through Darwin. No amount of voting can change that. Where in the article does it say most biologists agree with this? Most sociologists might, but it is really not their field (needless to say they are all wrong, it is not a matter of opinion).
This closely matches the comments of past socks. Compare this to:

I was recently emailed about a Mikemikev sock-puppet. Mikemikev has a long history of trolling the Race (human categorization) talk-page arguing with other editors [208]. For example, he did that on his account Mbutu Collins and many others going back years. The talking points on Redundant Farmhand seem to match what Mikemikev has written on many of his other socks such as Mbutu Collins. He seems to have an obsession with defending pseudoscientific race ideas of Blumenbach [209] compared to [210] and [211]. He does that on three accounts Redundant Farmhand and Retired Farmer and Beet Farmer which match edits made on Mbutu Collins. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 23:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

I was recently emailed by someone who has been looking out for Mikemikev socks on Wikipedia. I filed a previous SPI against Mikemikev last month. He was on the account Redundant Farmhand arguing about race on the Race (human categorization) talk-page. He was blocked on the 14 February.
I believe the information I received is accurate that Angillo and Spork Wielder are socks of Mikemikev. This user has a long history of editing the Race and intelligence and History of the race and intelligence controversy talk-pages on short-lived accounts.
Mikemikev has a long history going back years of editing the Race and intelligence article on different socks. Spork Wielder and Angillo use the exact same writing style and arguments of Mikemikev. Spork Wielder was a single purpose throwaway account. Angillo joined Wikipedia only yesterday to continue where Spork Wielder left off. As another use noted Angillo is merely re-initiating the same discussion as the one Spork Wielder had made above on the race and intelligence talk-page [216]. Mikemikev has had hundreds of socks. I think the admins must be aware of what his arguing style is about race. The behavior on both accounts ticks all the boxes that this is Mikemikev.

@ Doug Weller: I looked at the single contribution of Jimmy Croquette [227] and noticed a suspicious similarity with a comment by Markbassett at Talk:Race and intelligence just a few hours prior: [228]. Note: 1) the use of "Cheers" by both accounts, and 2) that Jimmy Croquette appears to be referring to the same RfC where Markbassett is in the extreme minority, and that Jimmy Croquette is pushing essentially the same position. I'm not suggesting that this is a slam dunk by any means (really, the main clue is "Cheers"), but perhaps worth check-user? If they are indeed the same person it would be especially serious because Markbassett is an extended-confirmed account. If both are Mikemikev it would mean that this notorious sockmaster has been using a "legit" account for many years. Generalrelative ( talk) 19:28, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Mikemikev has a long history of editing the Race (human categorization) article talk-page and others with accounts with "farmer" in the name such as Badger Farmer [240] Beet Farmer [241] or Redundant Farmhand [242]. The recent account RedundantFarmer edited this same article [243].
Mikemikev also has a history of impersonating far-right individuals such as Edward Dutton, Richard Lynn or Emil Kirkegaard (he sometimes spoofs their usernames), for example [244]. The recent "Emil O. W. Kirkegaard" reads as typical Mikemikev trolling, attacking other editors as being 'communists' [245]. Both the RedundantFarmer and Emil O. W. Kirkegaard accounts edited the same article talk-page within minutes of each other [246].
