On August 31, 2015, the English Wikipedia community discovered 381 sockpuppet accounts operating an undisclosed paid editing ring. Participants in the ring extorted money from mid-sized businesses who had articles about themselves rejected by the encyclopedia's "Articles for Creation" process, in which drafts are submitted for approval to experienced editors. The ring was nicknamed "Operation Orangemoody" after the first account uncovered in the sockpuppet investigation and was Wikipedia's biggest conflict-of-interest scandal as of June 2021, exceeding the scope of the Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia incident in which approximately 250 sockpuppets were found and blocked in 2013.

  • On August 31, 2015, the English Wikipedia community discovered 381 sockpuppet accounts operating an undisclosed paid editing ring. Participants in the ring extorted money from mid-sized businesses who had articles about themselves rejected by the encyclopedia's "Articles for Creation" process, in which drafts are submitted for approval to experienced editors. The ring was nicknamed "Operation Orangemoody" after the first account uncovered in the sockpuppet investigation and was Wikipedia's biggest conflict-of-interest scandal as of June 2021, exceeding the scope of the Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia incident in which approximately 250 sockpuppets were found and blocked in 2013. The story was reported by many English language and non-English language news sources, including Komsomolskaya Pravda, Le Temps, Le Monde and Die Zeit. The editing was described by various media as "black hat" editors (TechCrunch), "dishonest editing" (PC World), "extortion" (Wired), a "blackmail scam" (The Independent), and an "extensive cybercrime syndicate" (ThinkProgress).

  • Pada 31 Agustus 2015, komunitas Wikipedia bahasa Inggris menemukan 381 akun yang mengoperasikan lingkar penyuntingan berbayar rahasia. Para partisipan dalam lingkar tersebut meraih uang dari menolak usaha-usaha kelas menengah yang memiliki artikel-artikel tentang diri mereka sendiri. Berjuluk "Orangemoody" setelah akun pertama terungkap, ini adalah skandal konflik kepentingan terbesar di Wikipedia pada masa itu, melampaui cangkupan insiden dimana sekitar 250 pengguna siluman ditemukan diblokir pada 2013. Cerita tersebut dilaporkan oleh ratusan sumber berita berbahasa Inggris dan non-Inggris, yang meliputi Komsomolskaya Pravda, , Le Monde dan . Penyuntingan tersebut dideskripsikan oleh berbagai media sebagai para penyunting "topi hitam", "penyuntingan tidak jujur" (PC World), "pemerasan" (Wired), "scam surat gelap" (The Independent), dan "sindikat kejahatan maya yang luas".

  • 2015年8月31日,英语维基百科社群發現了381個分身帳號,運營有償編輯圈子而無聲明。事件背景是,一些中型企業曾藉維基百科「建立條目」(AFC)的流程,編寫關於自身的條目,呈交予較資深的編輯審核,但不獲通過。該圈子的參與者以此為由,敲詐这些企業。事件中,首個揭發的帳號名為「Orangemoody」,事件因而得名。這是維基百科直至2021年6月最大的利益衝突醜聞,規模超逾2013年所發現的Wiki-PR案,該案約有250個分身帳號被封禁。 此事有英、法、德文新聞報導,包含共青团真理报、、世界報、以及時代週報。這樣的編輯行為被媒體形容為「黑帽」編輯(Tech Crunch)、「不誠信編輯」(PC World)、「敲詐」(Wired)、「勒索詐騙」(獨立報)以及「大型網路犯罪集團」()。 (zh)
