Suspected sockpuppets

Main discussion with evidence at WP:ANI#GBFEE's_aspersion_casting_and_likely_sockpuppetry. Permalink as of 09:15, 5 July 2022.

Added here for recordkeeping purposes and per WTT's comment.

The previous Enlightenedstranger0 SPI was closed with no action per WP:BLOCKPREVENTATIVE, but Enlightenedstranger0 has continued to disprupt.

CUs working this case should see the notes in cuwiki Kolya Butternut (talk) 09:40, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Comments by other users

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

  • @Tamzin: I'm confused by the mentions of apparent evidence where I can't easily find that evidence. I don't have any thoughts about who or who isn't a sock, but given the pretty startling claims at ANI it would be good to be precise. Sorry to be dumb but I can't find the "Catch Me If You Can" or "You Can't Catch Me" diffs mentioned by Black Kite. Is that merely suggesting that someone is trolling, or is it related to Flyer? What "behavioral comparisons to" (from ANI) Flyer are there? (I'm not after an exhaustive statement, just a couple of examples.) At ANI, Black Kite wrote "then produce this for their first edit" as being unbelievable for a first edit. That is understandable but another way of looking at that diff is that GBFEE is definitely not a sock of anyone with a clue because such a person would be much more discreet. Re "this comment in August and its characteristic detour into praise" below, what text is praise? I don't see it. Johnuniq (talk) 10:43, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
  • @Johnuniq: The "Can't Catch" edit are here (read the article names of the last six articles edited, from earliest to latest. Note that the 3 edits to You Can't Catch Me deliberately reverted each other, it was just the article names they wanted). There's no doubt that ES0 is a sock (or at least a returning editor) and it's equally obvious that there's a link between ES0 and GBFEE - even if they aren't socks, there is a link between them.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

  •  Clerk endorsed with respect to GBFEE per general behavior, and, in particular, this comment in August and its characteristic detour into praise for Flyer22, her brother, and her friends. (See my recent comment at AN/I about why comparisons to Flyer are useful evidence in finding someone impersonating her.) As to Enlightenedstranger0, I'm sure the reviewing CU will know better than I whether there's any value in re-checking. -- Tamzin (she|they|xe) 05:49, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
