Suspected sockpuppets

A long series of WP:SPAs dedicated to adding AI-generated material to the topic area of Indians in Japan. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:37, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Adding two more WP:SPAs with a focus on Indians in Japan. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:00, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks GoldRomean. I subsequently noticed a suspicious statement by MannaHontanna here: "There is content being removed that I wrote myself that was not generated by AI as well." This is odd because their account was created today. Can I also ask if you endorse the above filing, or just for these two editors (or whether you have implicitly done so, sorry, SPI is a little mystifying sometimes). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:45, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

This case is being reviewed by GoldRomean as part of the clerk training process. Please allow them to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on their talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

This has got to be a classroom or library or something. Lollies and Hontanna are unambiguously different people (or, well, if they aren't, I'm very impressed, since these edits happen within seconds: , ). But they are connecting through the same IP. On that same IP on 16 May we have LibenInsJapon (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki · SI). None of these three have edited on any other IPs. In solidarity, asilvering (talk) 16:32, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Clerk note: merged the two filings. Checkuser note: Seeds is on the other side of the country from the first set I checked. In solidarity, asilvering (talk) 16:36, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

    I shouldn't really interface but I noticed you haven't brought up this member, who use similar expression, active on same articles and also restoring same ai content. Probably worth checking out ~2026-33324-56 (talk) 17:32, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
  • I have blocked MannaHontanna for two weeks over the excessive edit warring; if they are found to be a sock I have no objection to the block being made indef. Daniel Case (talk) 19:06, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
