The Article in the Most Languages


Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2025-08-09/Disinformation report The article in the most languages - Note to readers: Some of the diffs in this article are dead links because of deletions made subsequent to writing. They have been retained to show diligence in the findings presented here.

This count excludes a couple of occasions in early April 2018, when they apparently neglected to sign into their account and created the articles for the Slovak and Volapük Wikipedias using IP addresses based in Prague. Then, over the following month, it was added to other articles about Belli and Mark Twain’s poem " The War Prayer", by an IP range in the Czech town of Novy Bydzov (near Vectomov’s home city of Hradec Králové). I concluded that the accounts of BarunH, BardRapt, CWells, Eça Sá-Carneiro, FlenBotoz, Judgtastic, Swmmng and Špačkovití (among others) were all under the direct operation of this network, judging by their similar focus, interests and crossover in activities, as well as an identical style of edit summaries between them.
