– 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

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)
