Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Blatantly obvious, but for the record:

  1. HornetMike HornetsMike adds hoax to WITS Academy: diff
  2. HornetMike HornetsMike adds Reactions on the Cancellation of WITS Academy to WITS Academy for the second time: diff
  3. HornetMike HornetsMike blocked on 2017-01-08, and Reactions on the Cancellation of WITS Academy speedy deleted
  4. TorontoON created on 2017-01-13 and (apparently) immediately re-creates Reactions on the Cancellation of WITS Academy
  5. TorontoON re-creates Reactions on the Cancellation of WITS Academy yet again: diff
  6. TorontoON adds Reactions on the Cancellation of WITS Academy to WITS Academy for the third time: diff

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. Sorry, not quite clear on what's going on here. I didn't make any of the edits above, you can see my contribution history. Is it being suggested I'm a sockpuppet of the Toronto account? Not much to say other than I'm not... I've got 11.5 years of updates behind me so it would be quite the long game. I have edited at my workplace, which is a fairly large organisation, and I recently have been using one of those Open WiFi things until they install my Wifi properly, so that may be the cause of any IP weirdness. Cheers, HornetMike (talk) 21:36, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Having checked the contributions of HornetsMike below, it's them that made all the edits listed above, not me. So I assume this is just a case of mistaken identity due to similar usernames. HornetMike (talk) 21:39, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry! My fault! This is about HornetsMike, not you. --Closeapple (talk) 23:48, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @HornetMike: My sincere apologies. This is an understandable mistake by the filer and exacerbated by me for not looking more carefully. All the diffs for the filer are for HornetsMike, not for you. There is no basis for blocking you. I will move this case to the correct master, and again my apologies.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:04, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, no harm done! Cheers, HornetMike (talk) 22:06, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]


I noticed that this user placed an unblock request on the talk page of HornetsMike, the exact same default request that HornetsMike had placed twice before. Considering that, the topics being edited by SwarmZone, and other things I noticed, I decided to run a check. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 01:05, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • SwarmZone is editing from the same range that the previous accounts were, and considering the behavior, I think that this is highly  Likely the same person. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 01:05, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Blocked and tagged agreed with DoRD on the behavior, and given his findings, I've indef'd. Closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:59, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]


All three users have been editing the page Ultraman Mebius, a topic area that has been edited by HornetsMike socks in the past, and the first two, while lacking a long edit history, have awfully similar usernames to HornetsMike and past sock SwarmZone. TBBoltsNow and SwarmZone overlap a lot in their interest in Philippine TV stations and have made similar edits about remote control keys (see here and here. Could be block evasion.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]


User was seen editing the Ultraman Mebius article, similar on how the most recent sock have been editing. Also, this sock account was seen adding dubious information on the DWWX-TV article such as "remote control ID designation" and unconfirmed/possible hoax digital TV subchannels. This was done by another confirmed HornetsMike sock in the past three days. See 1, 2 for behavioral evidence. - WayKurat (talk) 07:29, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]


Behavioural evidence (all 3) and deleted contribs (admin only link). Notice the similarity between the edits of the account, IP ending in 129, and the IP ending in 149. They all edit the same section about the same draft, which has an extensive deletion history as WP:G5 TheSandDoctor Talk 10:58, 30 December 2018 (UTC); expanded 11:21, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This edit is also of interest. I have added the account which made it to the list above. --TheSandDoctor Talk 10:43, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
