The userUser talk:~2026-72204-4 has edited the same draft pages as the creator of the pageUser:Imakeflags and on 2026-72204-4’s user talk page they state the simple phrase “Hi I’m back” which is reminiscent of the SockpuppeterUser:Imbackjjj who was the one who owned the account Imakeflags. There seems to be a link, perhaps the same person. The TA created their account and immediately went to editing theDraft:List of Programs by BabyFirst which seems very strange. It seems the only people who have edited that draft page have been sockpuppets of Imbackjjj, (except for a handful of outside editors and a school IP address, which could be Imbackjjj using a different device but I cannot verify that and so won’t speak more of it). In fact on further inspection only 6 editors of the page haven’t been sockpuppets and they weren’t adding to the page (taking away useless information, putting tags, etc.)
I also suspectSpecial:Contributions/108.64.233.217 is a Sock, all of the socks have a special interest in children’s TV shows, especially English ones, but I cannot confirm this suspicion,Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a (talk)15:29, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
In the past year alone, over a dozen discussion have been launched atTalk:Armenia regarding what the lead should say about where Armenia is located. As the endless repetition has gone beyond disruptive, I've proposed a moratorium atTalk:Armenia#Moratorium proposed. There, I've listed all the discussions since March 2025 with their originators, and also reference one from 2024 by the userCatperson1, who went on to become indefinitely blocked. I'm wondering to what extent any of these are a single person disruptively stirring up the same topic over and over, under different guises, and possibly the same person as Catperson1. (The last two in the list, from the section headings alone, are clearly by one person. The two from the same IPv4 address are thesame address, the two from 2001:8003:: seem likely, and the two from 2a00:f3c:: seem likely.) Can somebody look into this, or should I launch an ordinary investigation?Largoplazo (talk)20:30, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Temporary accounts can not file SPI reports unfortunately.Shadowfax33 edited about Nick Fuentez and Catholicism from a political perspective.Hours after being banned, Bladerunner24 was created, with a focus on the intersection of American politics and Catholicism.Both users are semi frequent page creators, which is especially interesting for the much "less experienced" Shadowfax33 sock.And of course, Shadowfax is a fantasy horse from Lord of the Rings, where Bladerunner is a fantasy movie as well.Look at this first edit - [3], seems like a standard new editor right?Then right into lots of llm based editing, i.e.4 linking to other wikis as sources. Then, back to writing articles about how Catholics are oppressed - [5]. They speak in a similar fashion, but seem to be using more LLM now.
