Suspected sockpuppets

edit


@SevenSpheresCelestia: has used @ConnallES: to unbalance discussions. They also created Proxima Centauri c using the @SevenSpheresCelestia: account and @ConnallES: says that they created the article. I suspect that @ConnallES: may be a strawman sock. All accounts appear to be mostly editing astronomy articles. @Ardenau4: always tries to minimize the importance of pages created by a certain editor or to propose their merge. They also make similar edits. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 21:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

This is likely a bad faith report, please see this open ANI thread. In any case:

  • Proxima Centauri c was originally a redirect; I made it into an article. As such, I think I can say that I created it on my userpage. I similarly converted Kepler-90g from a redirect into an article, does that mean User:Dren5144 is my sockpuppet? Of course not.
  • As far as I am aware, User:ConnallES has not participated in any discussions that I also participated in.
  • As for User:Ardenau4, we do know each other over Discord and sometimes end up editing the same articles. That doesn't mean we're the same person.

I would be fine with a CheckUser confirming that these accounts are not sockpuppets. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 21:45, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I firmly support the total and permanent ban of SevenSpheresCelestia, who is now closing ANI's against him (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&action=history).
SevenSpheresCelestia has (suspiciously) semi-retired today, and apparently he now enters Wikipedia just to vandalize it.
I highly suggest an immediate ban of this user and all his possible sockpuppet accounts.
Won't further comment this. Cheers. ExoEditor 21:05, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I did not close your ANI thread; I reverted your disruptive reversion of its closure. I placed the semi-retired template on my user page because I am tired of being constantly harassed by users like yourself, and intend to reduce my activity on Wikipedia once this situation is resolved.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

To say the least, I'm unconvinced.

  • 1. The number of pages edited by all three accounts is zero.
  • 2. Ardenau4 appears to be in a different timezone per timecard.
  • 3. "SevenSpheresCelestia: has used @ConnallES: to unbalance discussions.". SevenSpheresCelestia and ConnallES have never edited the same discussion.
  • 4. They also created Proxima Centauri c using the @SevenSpheresCelestia: account and @ConnallES: says that they created the article ConnallES created the article on 28/5/19 as a stub; it was converted back to a redirect by Elmidae the next day. SevenSpheresCelestial then recreated the article as a fully-blown on 29/7/20.
  • 5. This all appears to be related to an argument about some articles that is currently the subject of some disruptive editing at ANI.
  • I would suggest just closing this. Black Kite (talk) 21:29, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
