Suspected sockpuppets


speedy tag removal accounts, only edits are to prop up the page created by the sockmaster, Mattia Bonetti. Hairhorn (talk) 19:53, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added ArtenthusiastNY. I also imagine Colorfulartallday (talk · contribs) is the same person as well, although that casts the net a bit wider in terms of the behavioural evidence. (Colorfulartallday and ArtenthusiastNY both edited the brand new page Nir Hod). Hairhorn (talk) 20:16, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Confirmed, though on what could be a shared IP:
Wow. Chicagoartall (talk · contribs) appears to be a new one created since this report, maybe another CU will be needed before blocking? Hairhorn (talk) 21:31, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Similar name, edits the same articles, uses the same non-standard form of categorization. [1][2] Looks like a duck to me. Jafeluv (talk) 09:45, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
At least Internart, Aroundtheworldforart, Arthistoryoftexas, UniversityArtProfessor66, FurnitureArtCollector, Zoomtoarttow, ArtenthusiastNY and Colorfulartallday have edited the same articles with each other. [3][4][5] Even taking into account the possibility of a shared IP, the short time frame (all created within just over 24 hours) and the similarity of the usernames strongly indicate that there is some sort of connection here, either sockpuppetry or (indistinguishable) meatpuppetry. The oldest account is Internart, whose article Erik parker was already deleted twice as excessively promotional and the user was informed that they're not allowed to remove the speedy tag themself. When FurnitureArtCollector's article Mattia Bonetti was later nominated for speedy deletion, they immediately created separate accounts to remove the speedy tag (Artenthusiastandfan's first edit; Zoomtoarttown's first and second edit). I'd say the case looks compelling enough for a block of all listed accounts. Jafeluv (talk) 09:38, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
