::This person Mari013 is a fraud. I have been working with misconveptions2 to create new wikipedia articles and used his user page as sandbox for drafts. The agent that person is referring to is me, but it is not as it seems. I told this person and others to work on Misconceptions2's user page. Misconceptions2 has nothing to do with it. But After I refused to pay her she started to blackmail me, she even stated that "il see to it he (Misconceptions2) gets banned" if I do not pay her--[[User:Josepaulopineda|Josepaulopineda]] ([[User talk:Josepaulopineda|talk]]) 02:09, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

– An SPI clerk has endorsed a request for CheckUser. A checkuser will shortly review the case.

Suspected sockpuppets


Misconceptions2 appears to be either a sockpuppeteer, a meatpuppeteer, or both. Users 1 through 26 (group 1) are single purpose accounts that edit user pages in Misconceptions2's user space or in their own user space with the help of Misconceptions2. Users 27 through 34 (group 2) are also single purpose accounts that voted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of attendance figures at anime conventions and/or Talk:List of attendance figures at anime conventions. There are two patterns characteristic to these puppets. Pattern A users edit almost entirely their own user pages and/or Misconception2 user pages. Pattern B start out with a few minor edits of articles (sometimes apparently randomly selected articles) and then their edits turn to single-purpose edits. Pattern A is most commonly used by those users that started editing from July 11 to July 20. Pattern B emerges from July 18 to August 3. Pattern B first appears in users 1 to 26 (group 1) and continues through users 27 to 34 (group 2). The continuity of Pattern B between groups helps establish the connection between the two groups.

Note for group 2, they all start editing from July 20 to July 23 in apparent anticipation of List of attendance figures at anime conventions nomination for deletion. The timing of the creation of these accounts fits perfectly with the discussion here [1] in which there is consensus that List of attendance figures at anime conventions should be nominated for deletion and misconceptions2 asks for at least 3 days to continue to work on issues with the list article on July 19. The list is nominated for AfD on July 31.

Note: Users 27 through 31 (as of today) have not edited since July 31 and users 32 through 34 have not edited since August 5th. That these users edit with such a high degree of synchrony is astronomically improbable by chance.--I am One of Many (talk) 04:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

35. User:Mohsinmallik, added by Juhachi, appears at the very least to be a WP:MEAT puppet. The first edit was in May 2011 [59] and there was no activity for over 2 years until July 20 when a few minor edits occurred before voting to keep here [60] and here [61]. Then, no activity from August 4 to August 11 until they vote to keep here [62]. I did not include them in the first listing because the account was created 2 years earlier, but the editing behavior after the first edit perfectly fits the behavior of group 2.I am One of Many (talk) 15:27, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
36. User:Priti.shetty makes their first edit on August 5 and continues making minor edits until August 8, and then they vote Keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of attendance figures at anime conventions (2nd nomination) five days later. Pattern B
37. User:Akosicristina First edit July 21, last edit August 7. The suspicious point being the last edit, it's summary being restored prices due to clear consensus on talk page however Akosicristina never participated the discussion. How weird.Pattern B
Comments by other users

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

  • Wikipedia:Don't be quick to assume that someone is a sockpuppet
  • Please get this over with quickly and do the check user so I can be cleared of these falsified and exaggerated accusations
  • As for those people who edited my userpages and those peoples whose user pages I have edited. I admit I know them. They have worked with me to improve drafts on userpages. I am aware of meat puppetry and these people who worked with me to improve article drafts on userpages I could have told them to help me and vote on the List of attendance figures at anime conventions afd page. but i never told a single one to do that because that would be canvassing and not a single one voted on that articles Afd. There was also some off wiki coordination which took place on google chat. As you can see on my userpage it says: "If you would like my google chat or skype id, please email me", this has been there for 1 year and I have coordinated with the people who have been in my contact list from ages ago--Misconceptions2 (talk) 01:56, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • As for those who voted keep. I do not know them and never interacted with them on userprages or talk pages, you can see their contribution history. There is no evidence that i told any of those people who voted keep to vote keep . Some who voted keep on afd were admins. I only know those who edited my userpage or those whose user pages i edited
  • This does not appear to be accurate. Arifulbk starts editing on July 20 and then creates sandbox on July 21 [63] with "Manga artists" and then blanks the sandbox 10 minutes later [64]. About three hours later, Salembouzidi pastes this list into Misconceptions2/manga [65]. Arifulbk does not edit for 10 day until they vote here on July 31 [66]. This is similar to the group 1 meatpuppets, you admit to. So, it appears that group 2 are your meat/sock puppets as well.
They are not meat puppets, they have never ever posted articles for me or voted on my behalf or edited because I asked them to, they were willing to help me. They are independent of me. They worked together with me to improve drafts on userpages, I also helped improve drafts on their userpages. I also do not know Ariful and never edited his userpage and he never edited mine, he may have worked together with Salem.--Misconceptions2 (talk) 22:38, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have been banned in the past for sock puppetry and the 2+ years since then i have never used socks. On 04 Sep 2011 (the last time I was accused of sock puppetry) I was cleared of sock puppetry: here --Misconceptions2 (talk) 00:31, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • This SPI along with the checkuser really needs to happen. While the 2011 case was a false alarm, the two previous cases were confirmed along with the fact - and I think someone else mentioned this - that Misconceptions2 was still using their sockpuppet accounts to lie and deny their sockpuppetry to the bitter end. Perhaps this is also a false alarm in which case there won't be any risks for running the check anyway, but the requester has really laid out very clear, detailed evidence that absolutely seems to warrant a check. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:17, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I certainly am not a sock of Misconceptions2. I want this to be verified asap . This is quite unfair and I think it is Bad Faith for "I am One of Many" to accuse so many this easily.--Gokul.gk7 (talk) 15:41, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have been hired by Misconceptions2 through an "agent" in oDesk. He then tasked me to do the edits for him [[67]] and said I will be paid thereafter. However, he was unresponsive after I completed the table and I was not paid for the job. I see he was advertising another "wikipedia job for $250". I have no idea of his purpose for the edits as I accepted the "job".Marie013 (talk) 00:40, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • He first asked me to complete at least 50 random / minor edits, cautioning me not to edit popular articles as this would cause for my account to be blocked. Then he asked me to complete this table [[68]]. After not hearing from him in Skype, I can see he has posted status as "need someone with wiki account opened at least 2 months ago" Marie013 (talk) 00:50, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am willing to submit my Skype conversations with him and help in any investigation matters involving this user. Marie013 (talk) 01:05, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is amazing and also explains why Misconceptions2 tried to pressure me into somehow withdrawing this case [69]. I am One of Many (talk) 01:52, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

Were you planning on inviting Misconceptions to comment here? Spartaz Humbug! 20:12, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I figured that Misconceptions2 would get a notification, but I'll place a notification on their talk page.--I am One of Many (talk) 21:04, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • CheckUser requested - Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention - I'm endorsing this for the very least on editors 27 - 34 in the numbered list, as users who all registered at around the same time and piled on to an AFD together. The rest of the evidence is pretty concerning, and perhaps a CU against the rest of the accounts is warranted as well. Misconceptions2 has been caught socking in the past, which he also vigorously denied until blocked. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:58, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Checkuser note: Comments like "This really needs to happen soon", no matter whether they're coming from the accused or people with some other interest in the case, are completely useless. I am trying to get this done but sometimes there are delays. So please refrain from making comments like that, as you're just wasting everyone's time by doing so. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 10:26, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
6 days is not enough? When do you admins plan on taking a look at this? Seems like yo could care less--Sinjanthu (talk) 16:47, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes no. You probably have no idea the degree of due diligence that checkusers go through in complicated cases and its better to get the answer right rather then do it badly quickly. Spartaz Humbug! 20:46, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
