Blocked trolling account of an editor who admits to operating multiple accounts. Trolling consisted of deleting largely sourced material on spurious claims. Requesting CU for sleepers. Tijfo098 (talk) 06:12, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Given that Shaz0t targeted one of the articles nominated for deletion by a sock of Shalom Yechiel (talk · contribs) (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Al Gordon (comic book artist) via Placeholder account (talk · contribs) and some his works like Captain Carrot), it's possible that he is the same user returning. Tijfo098 (talk) 07:52, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
One of Shalom Yechiel's many socks, Chutznik (talk · contribs) has edited recently enough to be within the CU window. Tijfo098 (talk) 08:05, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Additionally, there are some stylistic similarities, for example the way both bold the first few words when addressing admins [1] [2] and how they both use " - " as an mdash: "Apologies aren't necessary" - yet, if you actually read [...] If it's easily verifiable - great; add refs, please. Also both accounts have a history of inappropriately nominating politicians' pages for deletion 1 2. Tijfo098 (talk) 09:25, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting, considering Chutznik's recent unblock request and discussion (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:34, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've added 151.201.12.39. Chutznik was known to use some SPAs socks for pure vandalism, e.g. [3]. The appearance of that vandal IP on a page turned contentious by Shaz0t could be a coincidence, or it could be another game. Tijfo098 (talk) 10:42, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- WR thread. Where the suspected sockmaster brags about his various socking exploits. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Obviously not up to date. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:12, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

The users in the report should be switched and the report moved: Chutznik should be listed as the master and Shaz0t as the puppet. Doc talk 09:25, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, it should be moved to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shalom Yechiel, as User:Shalom Yechiel is Chutznik's master account. Singularity42 (talk) 11:55, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Agree, but that account is so stale that CU is beyond impossible (as is a CU on the IP listed, as CU will not publicly connect IP's to named accounts). I would think switch the master to Chutznik, then if it's shown to be a sock (of the sock) of Shalom Yechiel, tag it as such. Doc talk 12:00, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Is the user Shaz0t responding to his own IP post? 88.104.5.103 (talk · contribs) I'm not totally sure. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:27, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- I see - yes, that's a little strange.[12] Again, no CU will tie IPs to named accounts, but that is an odd edit. Doc talk 13:03, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- I post IP's here just as FYI to the checkuser if he wants to privately look into it. In this case, I'm actually not sure if the editor forgot and posted originally under his IP, or what. Also, it's been a while since the banned user I call "LC" has visibly turned up, but I was thinking that 88.104 was one of LC's subnets. I don't know that for sure, since I don't keep a list. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:06, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- It seems to me like the editor is replying and was simply logged out for the 88.104 comment. I'm not sure what the supposed connection is to 151.201.12.39, but one's in Pittsburgh and the other IP is across the pond, according to basic geolocation. I think the Pittsburgh IP probably is, as the filer suspected, a coincidence that is unrelated. The report is still incorrectly filed, with the sock being listed as the master, BTW. Doc talk 13:12, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Some word usage by Shaz0t would seem to indicate that the UK-based IP (88...) is the correct one. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it should be under the closest "active" sockmaster, for accuracy's sake. I still had a few 88.104's buried in my watchlist, and most of them were indeed associated with LC, but that was 2 years ago, so it might not be an LC subnet now. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:16, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
User:Shaz0t is probably an editor who stopped editing, returned recently and created a new account. The evidence linking the account to blocked or banned users looks weak, and there's no reason to check for "sleepers". Peter James (talk) 21:41, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- A user from out of nowhere trying to discourage running a checkuser? All the more reason to run one. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:48, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

- The two accounts are technically Unrelated. Chutznik is not actively socking as far as checkuser can tell. No comment with respect to IP address(es). This case will need to be moved to the appropriate master for the proper record. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 18:59, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Clerk note: I'm not seeing enough evidence to block the IPs, which are likely stale anyway. Closed since Shaz0t is blocked. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:14, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Self-admitted on User:Chutznik and at [14], found by User:IShadowed. Posting here because I'm not sure whether this merits a block or not, as the user seems to be repenting their use of socks. Dcoetzee 08:20, 28 February 2013 (UTC) Dcoetzee 08:20, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

- Already discussed at AN recently, I think. Also previously identified in the archives. Nothing more to do here. Rschen7754 08:22, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Clerk note: permalink to the relevant discussion. Personally I feel that it's arguable that a consensus hadn't really properly emerged before Optimist on the run unblocked the user, but that's a matter to take up at AN rather than SPI. SpitfireTally-ho! 11:33, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Today The onomasticon created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Palestinian records. This had been previously created by I committed wikisuicide with a very similar rationale. They make the indication on their user page that they are a previous user, since that is the first edit ever from this account.

- Administrator note Case moved to correct sockmaster. The first account was already handled in the previous case, and the second one has been sock blocked by another admin, so there's noting left to do here. —DoRD (talk) 16:59, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- On second thought, I checked the second account and, unsurprisingly, it is Confirmed. I also blocked three other accounts which I see no point in listing. —DoRD (talk) 17:07, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
