This could be from newpage patrolling, but combined with evidence below, the highly focused nature of the moved pages, and the transient nature of the creating editors, it looks bad.

– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets


1) Operator of BiH has been moving many articles a few minutes after their creation by other users to proper capitalization. Examples:

  • , one minute after creation
  • , two minutes after creation
  • , six minutes after creation
  • , <20 minutes after creation

This could be from newpage patrolling, but combined with evidence below, the highly focused nature of the moved pages, and the transient nature of the creating editors, it looks bad.

2) Account's "workshop" subpages also have a bad smell, with rapid creation of multiple likely PR-seeking (corp/celebrity) articles at a pace unlikely for one innocent editor. Here's a non-exhaustive list; timestamp of last edit is given:

Apparently, each "workshop" is edited, contents moved to article space, blanked, then abandoned with a remarkably repeatable process.

3) A particularly fishy case over a single article, Pixelmatic, where BiH rescued an abandoned article from another user's blanked sandbox:

This has the feel of a factory for paid editing with probable involvement of other accounts. Those listed in this case are just a sample. Brianhe (talk) 04:37, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
