More "J. Williams"–related junk, this time overwriting information about the rugby player J. P. R. Williams with suspicious text about a songwriter called Joseph Williams, with citations that don't mention him at all. See this edit on J.P.R. Williams – that's the redirect without spaces between the initials, not J. P. R. Williams, where User:Sorrybabykimlas did the same thing and was blocked as a sockpuppet of Japansonglove.
Sorrybabykimlas is not yet blocked on the Simple English Wikipedia and has put almost the same text at simple:J. P. R. Williams in this edit. Johnkaly9903 has overwritten wikiquote:JPR Williams with quotes from the supposed songwriter in this edit. On Wikidata, Socconcube98 and an anonymous IP address have linked these three pages (enwiki, simple and wikiquote) to the Wikidata item J.P.R. (Q27924205) (see the item's history), which is meant to be for an artist who is only known by these initials. So they are probably also sockpuppets, but Socconcube98 hasn't edited on the English Wikipedia yet.
Possibly any article on anyone called J. Williams is vulnerable to vandalism by this user and may need to be protected. Johnkaly9903 overwrote Talk:Joseph W. Williams with the contents of Talk:Taylor Swift in this edit. The userpage of simple:User:Sorrybabykimlas (created today) is a carbon copy of Knitsey's userpage; she's the user who reverted Johnkaly9903's edits to Talk:Joseph W. Williams yesterday.

Changing the usual target to Asian singer at Joseph Williams (music publisher) and at the disambiguous page Joseph Williams [1] I've not asked for checkuser as this is kind of obvious, unless you want to check for sleepers? Knitsey (talk) 12:24, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- Thanks – Blocked without tags. I did a quick basic sleeper check and found Duycan1424 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), likely enough for a block.
