User:Edipedia has a habit of creating sockpuppets to avoid the current block on his main account. Two checkuser requests have already confirmed this behaviour[1]. The accounts listed above are all new and barely used accounts, making essentially the same edits on the same pages that Edipedia and his/her confirmed socks made. Some of them have already been blocked indefinitely, but not all. I am filing this request to confirm for the record whether or not they are socks of Edipedia.

Edipedia has already been proven to make use of sockpuppets in the past (see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Edipedia). Now these two exhibit the same sort of reverts on Han Chinese as Edipedia and have both been blocked for 3RR violations, for 24 hours. Edipedia is already under a block, but could use some solid evidence to indef-block the sockpuppets and re-new Edipedia's block for sockpuppet abuse.Konstable 03:03, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Thrown in for good measure 3 more accounts exhibiting Edipedia-like edit patterns that had already been indef-blocked. I would suggest temporary semi-protection of the articles to prevent further disruption. I have already done this for the userboxes Edipedia revert-warred on, because it was silly. But I haven't done so for the articles yet. -- Миборовский 05:38, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edipedia

• Edipedia (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Epedia (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Editor 1 (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Yepre (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Inose (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

Suspected sockpuppeting by Edipedia. Edipedia has engaged in POV disputes on a few articles and was blocked a few times [2] for 3RR violations and vandalism. It is suspected that Epedia, Editor 1, Yepre and Inose are sockpuppets of Edipedia which were used to evade the block, continue edit warring and to vandalize talk pages.

Epedia is created before Edipedia, and is a seldom used account. It has made several edits against consensus that Edipedia also made [3] and [4], [5] and [6]. It has also made a talk page comment and signed itself with the name "Edipedia" [7]. The talk page comment was made after Edipedia has been blocked [8] (blocked on 22:11, 23 August 2006 for 24 hours, comment made in 15:53, 24 August 2006).

Editor 1 has uploaded two images with the same false license that Edipedia used [9] [10], has made the same edits as Edipedia: [11] and [12], [13] and [14], [15] and [16], and was mostly used after Edipedia has been blocked for 48 hours at 16:19, 28 August 2006 [17] (See His contributions), and has blanked his talk page, just like Edipedia: [18] and [19].

The account Yepre is created after Editor 1, the suspected sockpuppet of Edipedia,h as been blocked as well for four days at 03:20, 30 August 2006 [20] and [21]. It has made the same edits as Edipedia and Editor 1 : [22], [23] and [24]. Yepre has also put illegitimate warnings on User:HongQiGong's talk page [25], like Edipedia did [26].

The account Inose is created after Edipedia has been blocked for two weeks at 08:22, 2 September 2006: [27] and [28]. It has made the same edits as Edipedia [29] and [30], and [31], [32] and [33].

I believe a checkuser is necessary as Edipedia is currently engaging in various edit warring, talk page vandalism and Administrators' noticeboard disruptions, and so are the other accounts forementioned. Aran|heru|nar 06:05, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Confirmed. All the same user. Mackensen (talk) 16:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
