Aflantwo edit

Suspected related users edit

Rationale, discussion and results edit

Reason: All accounts have very limited edits except for this entity. Aflantwo created the page here on Wikidata. Then, Feloniii created the (now-deleted) Simple Wiki, which was deleted for the lack of notability, It is now being created by the same editor on TR, ES, TK and UR. The page has already been deleted on DE, AR and ES for spam, so I hope you can help look into it. The IPs have virtually no other edits apart for this entity to add links to the newly created cross-wiki spam articles. Infogapp1 (talk) 19:01, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATE: Looks like there's an ongoing SPA investigation about one of the above accounts (Feloniii) on EN. — Infogapp1 (talk) 11:57, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Results:

  •   Unlikely Aflantwo, Feloniii

From a technical point of view. --Sotiale (talk) 17:11, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sotiale: Appreciate you looking into it. Not sure how a ducktest is done, but perhaps the SPA thread may help? As the SPA investigation suggests, we're dealing with a user who clearly understands the technical limitations and clearly knows how to avoid technical detection. With this in mind, I've just added 1 more IP and another username that I think maybe connected as per this thread in UR project. As soon as the article was tagged for deletion, the IP was quick to revert it, then the newly created named user reverted another deletion nomination and the master sock came to another defence. The technical differences may set them apart, but clearly they're simply quacking together in this article. Hope this helps and let me know in case you need any more information. — Infogapp1 (talk) 22:01, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘@Sotiale: Aug 17: I hope the latest SPI findings about Aflantwo and Felonii on EN will help this case. — Infogapp1 (talk) 17:59, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Infogapp1: As you may already know, each user may have different records on wikis. At least it means they didn't leave enough technical information on Wikidata, so if you don't ask the checkuser again and their block is your purpose, you can ask AN to block them. If there have been new edits since the old checkuser result came out, different result may come out. --Sotiale (talk) 10:44, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sotiale: I see. Thanks for the input. Just consider this case closed here on Wikidata then. I'm guessing once they finalise the process in EN, one of the clerks/admins involve may just request for those accounts to be globally banned. Appreciate you letting me know either way. Thanks! --Infogapp1 (talk) 13:18, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Infogapp1: Don't you mean globally locked. There is a significant difference between global bans, global locks, and global blocks. Best regards, --Prahlad (tell me all about it / private venue) (Please {{ping}} me) 03:45, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Prahlad balaji: Hi! You're right. I had no idea about these distinctive options, thanks. --Infogapp1 (talk) 20:47, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
