[[User:Dog Whipper]] showed up here at the end of February. His [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jan_Thurzo&diff=prev&oldid=478282716 first edit] displayed a knowledge of wikipedia policy shorthand: not incriminating in and of itself, but an indicator that the user already knows how things work around here from prior experience. Also of note in that edit is what he removed: a source by German mineralogist and right-extremist [[de:Helmut Schröcke]]—Dodo19 displayed some strongly anti-right-wing tendencies while he edited. He then dove into editing [[Viktor Suvorov]] (a controversial revisionist Russian military historian), one of Dodo19's old favourites to edit. Another interesting early edited page is [[Majakowskiring]], a street in Berlin. Dodo19 is himself German and likely has some connection to the capital, evidenced by his socks [[User:Friedrich S. Hain]] ([[Friedrichshain]]) and [[User:Charlotte N. Burg]] ([[Charlottenburg]]). None of this is particularly incriminating, but keep reading.... |
|||
Recently and more tellingly, Dog Whipper has been creating articles relating to obscure Estonian and Estonian-related crime of spurious notability ([[Le gang des Estoniens]], [[Budget airline bandits]], [[Baltic Organized Crime Hub]]) and editing more well-known articles of the same topic ([[Crime in Estonia]], [[EstDomains]]). Dodo19's personal feud with Estonian editor [[User:Estlandia]] (formerly known as Miacek) should be well-known to anyone familiar with his editing here. |
|||
On a hunch, I worked through Dodo19 and his various socks and ran a Stalker test comparing them to Dog Whipper. [http://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/stalker/?db=enwiki_p&user1=Dodo19&user2=Pankrator&user3=红卫兵&user4=Quasimodogeniti&user5=Maicek&user6=RobinHood005&user7=Furor+Teutonicus&user8=78.53.44.104&user9=Dog+Whipper Here] are the results. Because DW has very few edits here (and, I believe, because the sockmaster has gotten wiser over time), only 7 pages were found in common between DW and the others, but they only add more substance to this case: |
|||
* [[User talk:Estlandia]]: Admittedly, Estlandia [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADog_Whipper&diff=482570880&oldid=480957289 edited] DW's user talk first. However, Estlandia has been responsible for rooting out the majority of Dodo19's socks. The fact that he suspected something "off" about this account says something, I feel. |
|||
* [[Viktor Suvorov]] has been discussed already. |
|||
* [[German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union]] was edited by both Dodo19 and the [[User:RobinHood005]] sock. Perhaps not an obscure article to edit, but indicative of Dodo19's keen interest in German military history: an area in which DW is also very active. |
|||
* [[Joachim Gauck]] and [[Wilhelm Schäuble]] are articles on German politicians: an area in which Dodo19 was and DW is very active. |
|||
* [[:Category:Estonian War of Independence]] is even more interesting: a recently-registered editor already going into category-editing? An in an area in which Dodo19 was involved in editing (see e.g., Dodo19-Miacek/Estlandia feud)? Something ain't right here.... |
|||
* [[1st Foot Guards (German Empire)]] is by far the most incriminating page of commonality found. With a size of 1,161 bytes and a grand total of 9 edits to it, it is about as obscure as you can get. But even more telling is the fact that it was created by—wait for it—[[User:Pankrator]], one of Dodo19's more prolific socks. |
|||
So, we have this: early editing patterns loosely connectable to the sockmaster, contentious activity (possible baiting?) in a topic area of past contentiousness, editing in near-identical political/historical topic areas, and a number of pages in common that do not seem coincidental. Something is not kosher about this account. Do I hear [[WP:DUCK|waterfowl]] in the distance, or am I hallucinating?
