Evidence

The lead paragraph of article Mila Kunis identified her as Ukrainian-American for a long time (e.g. June 2007) but "Ukraininan" was removed by User:All Hallow's Wraith on 15 September 2007, inserting inline explanatory text:

Since then, Saralovesemo & then a series of new users have been reinstating it, sometimes with similar rude comments in the edit summary, sometimes trying to conceal it by referring only to other changes.

Repeated changing of Mila Kunis' nationality from American to Ukrainian-American, despite rationale for NOT doing so being concealed inline and reiterated in edit history:

Some of the suspected sockpuppets have also made similar repeated edits to Sara and Sara (given name). They have only edited these pages which had previously been edited by Saralovesemo.

The latest account was created after I warned user Theytookmyname about Wikipedia's policy on sockpuppetry.

Comments

The edit to Mila Kunis was repeated by anon editors between Saralovesemo's similar edits to the page:

However, these may have been different editors, as the anons went on to edit unconnected pages.

Conclusions

There is a clear link between the majority of the Parties, and obvious indications of sock puppetry:

  1. The obvious username pattern shared by Saralovesemo (talk · contribs · logs), Emo-is-life (talk · contribs · logs), Theytookmyname (talk · contribs · logs) and Sara.h1201 (talk · contribs · logs). They all centre around some variation of "emo" or "Sara", or otherwise concentrate on the username itself.
  2. All the parties stated in (1) are clearly one-purpose accounts created by a single individual to push a single point (the inclusion of a secondary nationality, as shown in by Saralovesemo).
  3. All the parties stated in (1) use similar, rambling edit summaries, often with similar language.

I see no firm evidence of Soheila1201 (talk · contribs · logs), except from a similarity in username. Perhaps you may wish to direct that matter to WP:RFCU. Thus, having examined the evidence presented, it is  Likely Sarahlovesemo = Emo-is-life = Theytookmyname = Sara.h1201. Sohelia1201  Unlikely. Anthøny 19:18, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
