Suspected sockpuppets


The editing of Yfever is odd for several reasons.

  • Despite claiming to be a new user, his editing started with New Zealand sports figures, then moved quickly to the New Zealand expert in psychometry James R. Flynn: after that the editing shifted rapidly to editing almost solely in R&I related topics, touching exactly the same issues that started WP:ARBR&I.
  • Yfever copy-pasted the lede of User:Ephery/How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?, a deleted fork later placed by PhantomSteve in the user space of topic-banned user David.Kane, as the lede of a second article. No new user would be aware that an article already existed with that title and would be aware that it had been placed in the userspace of David.Kane. Yfever has even left a message on the talk page of the subpage. New parts of the article have subsequently been copy-pasted by Yfever from History of the race and intelligence controversy. This was exactly how the previous fork was created.
  • Yfever has also been editing Compensatory education with intervening edits by an IP 129.31.242.224 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) from Imperial College London: I was not aware of those IP edits on 5 January, but edits of that kind, from that point of view and from that location have always been by Mikemikev.

I cannot tell for sure at present whether Yfever is a sockpuppet of Mikemikev, but he is evidently not a new user and the intersecting edits with a Mikemikev ipsock on Compensatory education. a little visited article, are grounds for suspicion. (Mikemikev in the past—for example with QuintupleTwist— has created sockpuppets that took some time to identify.) Mathsci (talk) 07:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I did this as a double check. There is a parallel request concerning this user at WP:AE. Mathsci (talk) 19:03, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
