– A checkuser has completed a check on relevant users in this case, and it is now awaiting administration and close.

Suspected sockpuppets


  • Shyam Hewitt and Desibee55 are both WP:SPA and have both seemingly engaged in undisclosed paid editing on different articles: Richard B. Herman and Alex Becker.
  • Shyam Hewitt and Desibee55 have both used images uploaded to Misplaced Pages that were released from the same flickr account. The flickr account has only three images and whose seeming purpose is only to provide images for Misplaced Pages articles. One of the images clearly has a copyright watermark suggesting that they've been falsely flagged as being able to be released under a CC license.
  • Desibee55 and Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant both edited the article Richard B. Herman
  • Carriearchdale has been banned by the community. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant was tied to this account.

There was enough behavioural evidence to tie Desibee55 and Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant (and therefore Carriearchdale) together but I'm requesting a CU for specifically Shyam Hewitt since the evidence occurs off site. Mkdw 21:46, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Adding Carlieson to the list after this SPA created an article about the individual in the last photo from the flickr account. Mkdw 21:59, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Wow, okay what a mess. Thanks for looking into all these accounts Bbb23. Sunilseth15 appears to be the oldest registered account. I've placed a notice at ANI to request a CBAN and authorization to nuke the new articles created by this sock farm. Mkdw 15:57, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
