Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: These user are creating promotional items of marketers ,etc . And I caught the similar editing pattern by checking items created by each of the user , there are edits made by the ip mentioned above in all the items which are created by this users . A block as well as quick deletion of items is needed to prevent further promotions Rockpeterson (talk) 17:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rockpeterson: Congratulations, you've found a good fish tank. As a service, I blocked them all. But ask RFD or other admins for their spam. --Sotiale (talk) 11:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Sotiale: , I have asked Lymantria for the deletion of this spam items Rockpeterson (talk) 14:33, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note that this is likely a PR/SEO firm, see commons:File:Google Knowledge Panel Services.png (archive) where they have self-outed. Pahunkat (talk) 12:58, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I did clean up the created pages (also of socks of 10 August below). Lymantria (talk) 07:12, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale, discussion and results

edit

Reason: I had a look to see if I could find any others. All the accounts are SPAs that edit the items of entrepreneurs, musicians etc and overlap with other confirmed/suspected socks.

  • Q107563170 Sanju098, Colombus08, Tasnimul Rafi, Tasni087. Created by confirmed sock MarkOkello2.
  • Q16882101 Rtqord. Edited by Sanju098.
  • MirBhaiOp - Involved in hijacking of Q56849410 and the creation of Q107452406, both events involved confirmed socks.
  • Q106540570 Dualina, Edited by suspected sock Rtqord. More overlap on other entries, such as Q107920856. Also some w:WP:BEANS behavioral traits.

I would say that Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/RokiRoyOfficial is likely to be related given considerable overlap with Rtqord/Dualina. Pahunkat (talk) 09:55, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm busy today, so it's hard to deal with it right away, but if another checkuser doesn't handle it within this week, I'll do it. --Sotiale (talk) 13:28, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe.. I'll take care of it tomorrow(TGIF!) --Sotiale (talk) 13:30, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Sotiale! One of the suspected socks just made lots of edits, and I'm currently looking through them to see if I can find any more. I'll update the case if necessary. Pahunkat (talk) 20:49, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, their behavioral patterns are so clear that it doesn't matter if they belong to the same user or the same spam company. --Sotiale (talk) 12:35, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant, thanks @Sotiale:. I've requested a lock for the accounts given that this is an x-wiki farm (enwiki SPI). Pahunkat (talk) 14:23, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
