Suspected sockpuppets

edit


Everyone here has been heavily editing articles relating to the Semprún family. There's a good possibility the Encyclopedistw, Leciné, and 10DELPA accounts have been abandoned, however Gstigler stopped editing in 2014 and both SpainCulture and Wmediacom stopped editing in 2015 before suddenly returning just a few days ago, so I add them anyway.

User:Gstigler lately has been showing ownership issues at Rodrigo Semprun in addition to removing maintence tags at Ricardo Semprun. Gstigler then makes poorly sourced claims about Rodrigo Semprun. I tag it with Citation needed/BLP sources etc., then SpainCulture undos my edit, keeping with this pattern of removing maintenance templates for no reason. Wmediacom has also recently edited Rodrigo Semprun, and has edited the article right after SpainCulture did in the past. User:10DELPA created Pablo Semprún, which has been edited by Gstigler. 10DELPA also edited Jorge Semprún, which has also been edited by Leciné and SpainCulture. Leciné has edited Ricardo Semprun and Leciné created Colette Leloup, which Gstigler showed interest in. Encyclopedistw is on here because they edited Ricardo Semprun, and compare this edit to SpainCulture's edit. Sro23 (talk) 19:17, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Yamaguchi先生 recently removed a whole bunch of unsourced claims on Rodrigo Semprun. Soon later, User:VrK11 edits the redirect to Rodrigo Semprun, Rodrigo Semprún (note the accent), to Gstigler's preferred version of the article. Sro23 (talk) 03:00, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Added new account User:Benvenut7, who also edited the same article. Sro23 (talk) 03:02, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not affiliated to the reported account (Gstigler) I dont know what are the fundaments of the user: Sro23 to involved me in this dispute. Plase remove me of this, and unblock my user because I didnt do anything againts the community, just contribs with good faith. This is total unfair, that Sro23 is spamming me with lies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benvenut7 (talkcontribs) 06:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At the top of this page says: Do not make accusations without providing evidence. Doing so is a personal attack and will likely be summarily removed. And this is exactly what this person is doing ! I am not affiliated to the reported account (Gstigler) I dont know what are the fundaments of the User:Sro23 to involved me in this dispute. Plase remove me of this, I didnt do anything againts the community, just contribs with good faith. He is the one who spam my contributions without any good reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benvenut7 (talkcontribs) 06:59, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I originally added Leciné back when first opening the case, but the account was stale (see archive). However, today Leciné suddenly reappeared, and made this edit to Maura Dynasty. Turning redirects into articles and showing ownership appear to be trademarks of Gstigler socks. Sro23 (talk) 19:12, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Added two IP's, who removed maintence tags from Ricardo Semprun, another Gstigler trademark. Gstigler is currently on a week long block, but in my opinion, this needs to be extended, as they can't wait even one week for their block to expire and have been socking on a daily basis. They have repeatedly shown a disregard for policy. Seems to be WP:NOTHERE. Sro23 (talk) 19:17, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I reported this account when I first opened the case but at the time it was stale. I noticed that this account has resumed activity, even though Gstigler's main account was unblocked a while ago...It's been acting just like User:Leciné, doing new page patrolling and making more unsourced edits to Pablo Semprún.

Created Rodrigo Semprun Bernal, basically a carbon copy of the sock master's preferred version of Rodrigo Semprun. Compare this to this. Engages in new page patrolling, just like past socks Leciné and 10DELPA. Sro23 (talk) 03:12, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Rodrigo Semprún was created recently (and has already been deleted). I don't know who created it, but whoever it was must be another sock. Sro23 (talk) 01:25, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Sro23: It was created in 2014 by VrK11 (talk · contribs), and then converted to a redirect, remaining that way until 29 June 2016. VrK11 was indef-blocked due to checkuser the same day, when he un-redirected that title and added content. ~Amatulić (talk) 06:05, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Update 2: Today they recreated Rodrigo Semprún Bernal and keep removing speedy deletion tags from it, again with the ownership problems. Also, compare this to this. Both users insist many editors have "reviewed" the articles they created. Please delete the article, it may need to be salted. Sro23 (talk) 18:08, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm very tempted to call it (having just deleted the most recent recreation of the Bernal article), but as this should probably cause the block on the master to be upgraded to indef, I'd really like a CU. Favonian (talk) 18:24, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Following closer scrutiny, I have decided to call it. Behavioral evidence is very strong: compare for instance Gstigler with Syntaktis. Sock blocked indefinitely and master's block extended indefinitely as well, this being a repeat performance. Favonian (talk) 19:19, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article Ricardo Semprun was created by Gstigler. It's been PRODded. This new account then copy-pasted the content to Ricardo Semprún, a redirect also created by Gstigler. Given the similarities to recent disruption surrounding Gstigler-created and sock recreated Rodrigo Semprun (and Rodrigo Semprún/Rodrigo Semprún Bernal), I suspect that this is another sock. clpo13(talk) 21:29, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not surprised to see Uk2014 show up. The logs show that account marked a couple of the Rodrigo Semprun articles as reviewed: [1], [2]. clpo13(talk) 21:50, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Created Ricardo Semprún Leloup, who is related to Antonio Maura, Jorge Semprún, Colette Leloup, and Rodrigo Semprun, all of which Gstigler has shown interest in the past. [3] [4] [5] Sro23 (talk) 17:06, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Iwikipedista is an obvious WP:DUCK sock, as they have created Rodrigo Semprun B. (Please delete and salt, again). Niceguynz I'm not quite as confident is a sock, just very very suspicious. According to Special:Log/Niceguynz, the user has only marked 11 pages as reviewed. One of them was Rodrigo Semprùn, and another one was Rodrigo Semprun B, a minute after its creation.

I deleted and salted the article. I'm skeptical that Niceguynz is a sock. Any new page patroller wouldn't be aware of the history of this sockmaster, and would likely see nothing wrong with those articles getting created. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:55, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
