ResearchEditor

Yet more possible research editor sockpuppets; most appeared around the same time in the past couple days, with the same general approach, edit summaries, throwaway accounts, POV and credulous ideas about satanic ritual abuse. Some are old socks I tagged but didn't bother listing until now. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 22:54, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be the lot. Possible ResearchEditor sockpuppets. All added the exact same information and citations to multiple pages using a series of throwaway accounts. The POV and sources suggest RE, promoting the discredited idea that there's any weight to the satanic ritual abuse moral panic, the use of the extreme abuse surveys (G4 speedied as a recreation of the Extreme Abuse Survey with an AFD here) and Randy Noblitt's discredited beliefs about satanic ritual abuse. All are single-purpose accounts that have only one topic's worth of edits, and redlinked talk and user pages. If it's not RE, then I would be very surprised, and even if not I can't concieve that it's not someone else sockpuppeting. If not RFCU-ed, accounts should probably be blocked anyway for spamming.

The following are  Likely as ResearchEditor:

1. Brewopco (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
2. Turtleshell2go (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
3. Raspla42 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
4. Toswi82 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
5. Reccaban2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
6. Nmpras (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
7. Burgelt (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
8. Tn25dog (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

The following are  Possible:

1. Msbvben (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
2. Donrus22 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

There's hardly any overlap between these accounts, but they all appear to be editing in the same general area. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 21:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: All accounts marked {{likely}} have been indef blocked and tagged. Tiptoety ^talk 21:46, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Msbvben and Donrus22 demonstrate knowledge of intricate ref formatting from their first edits. These two articles seem to fit in ResearchEditor's topics of interest, so I think a block can be made based on behavior. I haven't looked over the ArbCom decision involving ResearchEditor in its entirety, but does an indefinite block seem appropriate in light of the new sockpuppetry? Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 21:54, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently reading over the ArbCom case, and will make that decision here shortly. Also, consider the other two accounts blocked. Tiptoety ^talk 21:55, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: ResearchEditor (talk · contribs) has been indef blocked, and ArbCom has been notified. Tiptoety ^talk 22:01, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ResearchEditor

• ResearchEditor (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Extrabreeze (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Albigolow (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

• Code letter: F

• Supporting evidence: ResearchEditor (aka Abuse truth (talk · contribs) aka Abuse t (talk · contribs)) is topic-banned from Satanic ritual abuse articles (see his talk page). Recently a couple of SPAs have turned up at the SRA page, pushing exactly the same POV as Abuse truth did, and with suspicious knowledge of Wikipedia policy and terminology (Extrabreeze's first edit summary refers to a "cfork"). I call bullshit, and would like to have this CU-confirmed. Meatpuppetry I am convinced of: socking is perfectly plausible. If the former, I'll deal with this via revert restrictions: if the latter we can move straight to blocking. Moreschi (talk) 14:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Albigolow (talk · contribs) is  Unrelated.  Possible that ResearchEditor (talk · contribs) = Extrabreeze (talk · contribs), based on geographical similarities.  Likely that ResearchEditor = Baawip80 (talk · contribs), same home ISP from same city. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 15:28, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
•  Clerk note: I have indef blocked Extrabreeze (talk · contribs) seeing as the contributions confirm they are ResearchEditor. After looking over Baawip80 (talk · contribs) I see nothing that would indicate they are involved. Also, I am going to leave ResearchEditor unblocked, but recommend a ANI thread be started to discuss any possible violations of the above stated topic-ban. Tiptoety ^talk 18:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
•  Clerk note: After looking over Baawip80 (talk · contribs) a bit more, I have indef blocked that account as well. Tiptoety ^talk 22:30, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned on the talk page of the relevant entry, can you check out the following two users against all those listed above as well so we can clear the air completely regarding new single purpose accounts pushing RE's POV post ResearchEditor's topic ban.

IP  Unrelated.  Confirmed that Attafire (talk · contribs) = Previewriver (talk · contribs) = Raorino (talk · contribs). Highly  Likely that they are all ResearchEditor (talk · contribs) – same home ISP in same town. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 00:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
