Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

New accounts, same edits about German being the official language of Israel. Interested in if this is sockpuppetry, or some off-wiki brigading. May be related to יניב הורו (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/יניב הורון) as their last sock was editing related to this. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:29, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • for Saintpetersgate: these 2 contributions; created 2023-07-13 03:51; edit summary = 'spelling letters'; content involves adding Cyrillic text after title words or in Infobox params of Hungary-related articles; e.g, at Budapest (diff)
  • for Stairsonysanta these 9 contributions; created 2023-07-13 04:06; of Hungary-related articles; edit summary = 'Spelling letter'; content involves adding Cyrillic text after title words or in Infobox params e.g, at Lajos Kósa (diff)

If you could do a fancy search (Petscan maybe?) for anything in Category:Hungary (or any of its subcats) containing recently added cyrillic text (especially if by a recently created account) that might get you more accounts, perhaps. The most frequent letters in cyrillic are о (U+043E), е (U+0435), and а (U+0430); the most frequent consonants are н (U+043D) and т (U+0442). Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:02, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure those users are the same, just it is suspicious, however this info is same absurd like the intensive Hungarian Cyrillic alphabet trolling in many articles (even recently in this Finland-Hungary article) and this user also used a communist Hungarian flag, a socialist term, and this is the only 1 edit by him: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Finland–Hungary_relations&diff=prev&oldid=1166878624 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hungarian_alphabet#Cyrillic_alphabet OrionNimrod (talk) 09:40, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Made a very similar edit on 1989 Soviet census as did the Fusionmanfixer account on Soviet Union, in that both edits write Russians as 44.8%, Ukrainians as 4.2%, Uzbeks as 2.8% – compare these two diffs:

Regularly uses edit summaries in a fashion very close to the other sock.

Article interests are almost alike too – focussed on articles about Soviet Union and about alphabets. On alphabet articles in particular, Oattybeta888 has been adding alphabet list tables to the articles just like the Fusionmanfixer account:

Thanks to AP 499D25 for turning my AIV request into this sockpuppet, I believe Sashaweeks is also an alt of this user, see this edit with a conspicuous edit summary at Demographics of the Soviet Union, which he has been targeting, which bumps up the Kazakh population to 20 odd % in line with the Fusionmanmixer edit on the 7th. He also has other similar topic interests like the article on Finno-Ugric languages and Russia related articles. Tweedle (talk) 12:30, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He uses the boring Cyrillic alphabet trolling, in this time he made an Arabic prologue: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Old_Hungarian_script&diff=prev&oldid=1167541937

That these two are connected to each other is fairly obvious. Szentmártonfalva changed the map on German language to use the pre World War one borders of Germany. Hugorakuman did the same on the corresponding article on huwiki, a page Szentmártonfalva has also edited.

I'm less certain if they're connected to this case. However, in Scottsdale234, we have editor using multiple accounts who has also edited the article on the German language across the same two wikis, so it seems at least plausible to me. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:13, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since late January, we've seen four previous socks, User:Haffemhub, User:Hubertmozamer, User:Judysimons, and User:Hubertmaster, make one of their first edits to German language in Namibia, an article that saw little editing activity before attracting the attention of this sockfarm. So another newly registered account editing this article looks awfully suspicious. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:54, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haffendaz is similarly named to a previous sock, Haffemhub, and shares this editors interest in changing details on German language regarding German speaking populations outside of Europe.
