Wikipediocracy

Ririgidi seems suspiciously like a MEAT of Corbie. They've had 47 edits so far to Wikipedia, and share an interest in Celtic reconstructionist paganism. Ririgidi edited an article, namely Saining created by Corbie 2 days after Corbie created it: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saining&di...

Katie

Mark Ironie and Corbie have known one another since 1984, at least, according to this: link.

Katie

There's this old, from 2005, post by Mark Ironie: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Celtic_reconstructionism&diff=prev&oldid=19549684 , which has him using "we" about him and Corbie. I don't know if they were talking online or were discussing this in RL, but it's clear both were in com...

Tickle me (T-C-L), who commented at the ArbCom case request for Dbachmann, is a believer in the racist nonsense about white people being "replaced", as this shows: link.

Katie

Dbachmann has racist views, as this shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Homo_erectus&diff=prev&oldid=857839416 and as this also shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AHomo_erectus&type=revision&diff=867382199&oldid=866711480 . Maunus calls him out here: https://...

This wasn't just Saudi Arabia, the Farsi Wikipedia bans appear to be editors acting as agents of Iran, forced or otherwise.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Deirge+%C3%93+Dhaoinebeaga, Deirge Ó Dhaoinebeaga is another account of his, as he revealed on the Djm-mobile user talk page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Djm-mobile&diff=1103933446&oldid=1103895223 . That accou...

Well, I'd at least put money on Flyer still being alive. Like, seriously. $1000. Haven't we already determined that she's still alive? We're just not posting the evidence because that would be doxxing, and she's not quite evil enough to pass our "evil-Wikipedian threshold." Or have I been misunders...

Katie

SMcCandlish thinks that the JaztoSM account isn't Flyer, but someone here (who has an account on Wikipedia). Here's the edit where he says that: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=1089279210 . I can understand not wanting to ...

Katie

Flyer has decided to sink to a new low by using a sock, namely JaztoSM (who was blocked by Bbb23 later), to go after SMcCandlish here: https://archive.ph/fXRma , asking him if he's on their side against Enlightenedstranger0 (she's posing as an anti-Flyer troll). SMcCandlish has stuck up for Flyer af...

Katie

Flyer has decided to sock yet again at the Daner's Creek SPI, as Coherentvoter . I honestly have no clue what she thinks she's accomplishing by doing that. Here's the link to the post she did at the SPI as Coherentvoter: https://archive.ph/PC4Vf . The style of writing is unmistakably that of "Halo" ...

Katie

Samson.butross is Flyer returning to form by poorly pretending to be a troll from WPO, much as she did with Arsal12. . Two of the edits are RevDelled: I saw one before it got RevDelled and it was poorly written trollery saying stuff like "Will one of my favorite biased admins close this against Enl...

Katie

Crossroads showing up out of the blue to argue the SPI is spurious seems the best indication that the account is operated by the same sockmaster, really. Nah, even Flyer has to sleep sometimes. I think Crossroads is just someone with the same POV regarding trans issues, who finds himself in agreeme...

Katie

I have no clue if Amber Heard really does have the personality disorders the psychiatrist said she had, but Thinnyshivers , a Flyer sock, did have an interest in keeping the diagnoses (admittedly by a psychiatrist hired by Depp's legal team) off the article for Amber Heard. Here's her posts about it...

Katie

Two accounts that were/are used by Flyer are Pipenswick and Thinnyshivers , both which have presented themselves as "autogynephilic", and for Pipenswick at least, a trans woman. Pipenswick stopped editing in April while Thinnyshivers is still editing as recently as yesterday. Autogynephilia is a tra...

Katie

Eron Jokipii is friends with the Knowledge Standards Foundation/Encyclosphere's account on FB: I suppose the KSF FB account (which is called Encyclo Sphere) could be a "joe job", but I don't see why anyone would bother. It could also be, I suppose, that they friended him because people here thought/...

Katie

Jehochman said: Haaretz is preparing a new article, and an expert is writing a book, documenting systemic problems with Wikipedia's Holocaust articles. I wonder who's feeding Jehochman this brand new information. No need to wonder, since he's told everyone that he's been in email communication with...

Katie

What the hell RKT7789 ? Over on Commons , they sure look like they love Nazis have a legitimate interest in educating people about history. Their Twitter account is anti-Nazi. On another note, a bit in the article, namely the part about five Finns being arrested for abusing children, has a source t...

Katie

Basketcase2022 (T-C-L) has been blocked as a sock of NedFausa (T-C-L), with e-mail access and TPA revoked too.

Katie

Acidsetback has been active today. That account shares Flyer's interest in Trypophobia , Flyer's style of writing, and Flyer's POV in the talk page for that article. That account has switched to editing random articles along with some sexuality-related articles. GBFEE is clearly her too, merrily ed...

This is disgustingly cynical. ... Whatever your opinion on Slimvirgin, to invoke her death as a rhetorical device to attack the arbitration committee's decisions is despicable. SV deserves better than this.

I agree with you. I'm not a saint, but at least I don't go about disrespecting the dead.

Katie

NedFausa clearly wasn't new to editing Wikipedia, so I did some digging and it turns out he used to edit as KalHolmann , Kent Krupa , WikiCVU , and JohnValeron (which was his original account). KalHolmann shares a lot of interests with NedFausa, as this EIA shows: https://sigma.toolforge.org/editor...

Katie

Basketcase2022 is likely a sock of NedFausa as the EIA timeline, here: https://sigma.toolforge.org/timeline.py?page=Wikipedia%3APress_coverage_2021&users=Basketcase2022&users=NedFausa&server=enwiki shows them sharing an interest in Wikipedia's press coverage in 2021 (and using the same sort of edit...

Katie

IHateAccounts, you're talking nonsense about MJL. I know them, and I can tell you for a fact that they're no "betrayer". I don't believe MJL told you that they telling you to "wait for the process" was a price of them being allowed to apply for adminship. For starters, they're not an admin, and they...

I found another Japanese nationalist editor on the English Wikipedia, namely みしまるもも , who's the main editor of Yukio Mishima 's Wikipedia article in terms of text added according to this: https://xtools.wmflabs.org/authorship/en.wikipedia.org/Yukio%20Mishima/ and who's made clearly pro-Japan edits s...

Katie

Taliban propaganda (T-H-L) - reads like an essay, is copied and pasted from various sources, and the creator was very likely part of a US military operation to provide information to the wider public if their userpage, here: Stability Information East 1 (T-C-L) is any indication.

Katie

Aroundthebends (T-C-L) is obviously the same person behind all of these accounts on the Nicholas Alahverdian article, trying to cover the sexual assault conviction up by nominating the article for AFD.

Katie

Genericusername57 has started a SPI against Cirt that shows that Right cite is very likely his latest sock, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Cirt . Here's an example of Cirt/Right cite getting angry over supposed "cyber-stalking": https://en.wikipedia.org/w/in...

Katie

There was a prolific sockmaster that always used Captcha-based names as sock names, since when I (and I bet a lot of other veteran admins) will always look on them with suspicion... Cirt had a couple caught, Yetishawl and Sagecandor . I think he moved on to using names that are almost impossible to...

Katie

Wikipedia is near bursting point now. The pool of articles that are both “notable” (by deletionists standards) and not already on Wikipedia is small. Wikipedia will start shrinking as more articles are deleted than created. I lost it this morning when a deletionist destroyed an article about a list...

Katie

I am aware of UPE's who have edited the articles of politicians, and I can confirm that one sockfarm is linked to a PR company which attempted to influence elections by using Facebook. I think the WMF should spend time working on a way to detect and combat that sort of thing on Wikipedia, like what...

Thebreeze/Thebreeze2, formerly one of the most active editors there, likely edited the English Wikipedia as Someone65 / North Atlanticist Usonian and also Thylacoop5 . I don't think there's that many Wikipedia editors out there who are Somalian, interested in human sexuality, religion, odd words and...

Katie

William Armstrong Percy III - it reads like an advert for him, and doesn't mention his history of pro-paedophilia/"pederasty" statements. According to this article in Boston Magazine, here: https://archive.ph/bkmxJ , he said "“I have been trying to convince the NAMBLA people for years that they sho...

Katie

Paul Austin has been blocked indefinitely by JBW (T-C-L), as this shows: link. I am delighted that this has happened, and fully expect him to try and be unblocked without success, and then move onto socking.

Katie

By the way, EllenCT has been confirmed by a CheckUser as being related to James Salsman, AKA Nrcprm2026 , here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meta:Requests_for_CheckUser_information&diff=20505515&oldid=20505452 . EllenCT certainly does share an interest in Neonicotinoid , economics, p...

Maybe the question of girls getting knocked around by boys who identify as girls or women having to wax the scrotum of a transexual pushed her do the unforgivable cursed act of defending J. K. Rowling? Regardless of her thought crimes, she deserves the dementors, amirite? You know that the vast, va...

Katie

Here's a 2013 article from her short-lived blog that seems to be pro-trans... Manning and the T word Thank you very much for finding the 2013 article! I like that article, and it would be my guess that between then and now she got sucked into the TERF-belief system. TERFs recruit like all other big...

Katie

Randy, I understand that, but I know for a fact that one of these accounts has a low follower count (a few thousand). I am skeptical that one would follow all of these accounts supporting a certain view, and express sympathy for people with that view two years earlier, without sharing their views. A...

Katie

They're both classic TERF s Oh, for sure. Here are screenshots of Maria Sefidari being sympathetic to TERFs in 2018 on Twitter: https://postimg.cc/zVk2MYnq and https://postimg.cc/Xr71618d (the English in these tweets are Google Translated Spanish). I figured that she became one after the Fram ban a...

Katie

Maria Sefidari is deservingly disliked by people for many, many reasons, but I've found another reason to dislike her. She is also a transphobe, and I have found proof of this. All three of these screenshots I made show Maria Sefidari following transphobic accounts on Twitter, and I find it really h...

Katie

I can't say I've ever heard of such prisons either. I'm aware of an ex-administrator who is in fact a convicted sex offender, and I'm also aware of another ex-administrator who was stripped of their tools for editing with pro-paedophilia sockpuppets, but I don't think that's what Larry meant conside...

Katie

Dan Rapoport - this article has no mention at all of a Bellingcat piece about a fake Pentagon analyst who was popular, which was a persona Dan Rapoport is said to have used to promote his anti-Russian and pro-Ukraine agenda. The Bellingcat piece is here, and in the end of the piece it was suggested...

Katie

Commons still has a category called "erotic images of children", and the editor who created it has an interest in paedophilia and related topics, to the point of writing a pro-child pornography article on the Czech Wikipedia and copying a bit from a pro-paedophilia website in an edit he made in 2010...

Katie

CrowsNest, AKA MickMacNee (T-C-L), loves using nasty slurs towards the disabled as well. He attacked someone on Wikipedia Sucks who had the nerve to disapprove of such behaviour.

Katie

The case was dismissed. Will the WMF try to recover costs from Abd? Obviously, they won't get very much. In further Abd news, he has announced on Sucks June 5 that he has suffered what sounds like a pretty serious stroke, from which he is recovering. tim Is this like the stroke Jim Bakker had right...

Yngvadottir has started an AFD for the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Juan_(street_protester)_(2nd_nomination) . The creator of the article, SchmuckyTheCat , is arguing for keeping it, and seems to be saying that Juan has died. Even if that's the case, I...

Katie

Juan (street protester) - an article that is about an obviously mentally ill man which seems to treat him like an animal in a zoo to be gawked at. This is disgraceful. And is not something that would be in any proper encyclopedia, which Wikipedia pretends to be. It was created by SchmuckyTheCat , w...

Katie

Victorian erotica - the article reads like a rambling essay, and I think the lead has at least one statement that's redundant, and the lead is also too long. There should also be an "a" in "Victorian erotica is genre of sexual art and literature which emerged in the Victorian Era of 19th century Br...

Paul Benjamin Austin has recently as April 2020 impersonated someone online, in this case it's a person who grew up on the same street as a murder victim he's obsessed with, and she's mentioned in this article by news.com.au: https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/why-the-murders-of-m...
