Suspected sockpuppets

Found significant behavioral evidence suggesting that this account is a sock of User:Art Lover. User created Draft:John Kiss old version after Jonathan Kis-Lev was deleted via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Kis-Lev. This (non-notable) person has a history of using Wikipedia for self-promotion. This account was also used to create drafts about their own art: Draft:Spray Me, Draft:The Spray Witch. Requesting check for sleepers. FASTILY 04:32, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

The behavioral pattern is very conclusive, he continue to edit the entries he wrote before under his previous names, and even participated in the delete discussion. You can also compare his names and behaviour in the Hebrew wikipedia. 2A02:14F:1FD:8A19:0:0:F08:6BA1 (talk) 15:47, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

  •  Inconclusive due to extensive proxy use.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation -- RoySmith (talk) 23:58, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Noting אמנות או נמות was renamed to Everybuckwheat [1] and they were listed in the 08 June 2020 report, though no action was taken at that time as there was very limited behavioural evidence. However, since 3 June 2021, this user has been highly focused on the works and biography of John Kiss / Jonathan Kis-Lev and in promoting this artist like no other user. This is clear enough that on behaviour and shared interest I am comfortable to call them connected. Pink clock Awaiting administrative action - Please block Everybuckwheat indefinitely as a suspected sockpuppet. I can do the G5 cleanup. --Jack Frost (talk) 23:45, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Additional information needed: @Jack Frost: Shared interest in the same non-notable individual is obviously a huge red flag, but I'm not seeing much more evidence than that, and I don't think it on its own is enough for a block. Could you elaborate on your analysis here? By IRC is fine if it's tell-sensitive. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 14:28, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Have chatted with Jack on IRC. I think at this point I'd like to hear from Everybuckwheat. No edits in a month but worth a shot. @Everybuckwheat: Do you have any connection to Art Lover, a/k/a Forever Art, a/k/a Psychology Forever? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:25, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
