Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

I suspect that the editor in question created a sockpuppet account in July in an attempt to create a WP:POVFORK article of Genetic studies on Bulgarians. The account also promoted the same narrative about the origin of the Bulgarians and Bulgars as MiltenR (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). StephenMacky1 (talk) 13:10, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good assumption, I think. Jingiby (talk) 13:25, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • These two accounts are technically Red X Unrelated. I can't rule out the possibility that MiltenR created a new account and performed some edits while on holiday in another country, but the evidence doesn't seem strong enough to assume that somethinng like that is going on here (and only an explanation along those lines would account for the disparities I see in the logs).

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Strong indication that the account is a sockpuppet of MiltenR. The editor uses identical edit summaries and promotes their POV. (1 and 2) StephenMacky1 (talk) 22:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Analizator Libertarianski is pretty much  Confirmed. Considering the history of blocks on the master account and the fact that they are currently blocked for 6 months, I have upgraded their block to indefinite. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 01:19, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

User:WindWalkerOfficial was created about five days ago, on 23 April 2024. Despite the short period of time that has elapsed, and their few edits (77 as of this report's publication), it is already quite clear that they have similar interests (see EIA) and views to those of indefinitely blocked User:MiltenR. For example, in the Phrygians page, which I actively monitor, they both tried to give undue weight to the same primary source; compare this addition by User:MiltenR, to this addition by User:WindWalkerOfficial, where they both refer to Strabo's description of the Phrygians as a Thracian tribe.

User:Mitko28 is also a new user, created on 4 April 2024; at the beginning of this month. Just like the indefinitely blocked User:MiltenR (diff) and the co-reported User:WindWalkerOfficial (diff), User:Mitko28 (diff) has also commented in the page Talk:Bulgars about the genetics of Proto-Bulgarians and present-day Bulgarians; essentially trying to disassociate them from any Turkic background.

  • WindWalkerOfficial is  Confirmed to Mitko28. Unfortunately, MiltenR is stale and all the previous socks are as well. PhilKnight (talk) 16:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blocked without tags. Closing. PhilKnight (talk) 16:20, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
