Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/MusicLover650

Editing from the area of Orlando, Florida, has violated WP:MULTIPLE with many registered accounts and IP addresses. Starting out in 2007 under the name Sloggerbum, the person created about 9000 articles over the next nine years – articles about businesses, books, bands and other topics that were quickly deleted (see Shel Horowitz, Susan Marks, Papillon Entertainment Group or J-Blaze as examples.) It was suggested at ANI that the used could have been editing for pay, and in April 2012 all the accounts were blocked. Another account, Earflaps, was created two days later, continuing the pattern for 50,000 edits, but finally getting blocked in late 2016.

This person registered a couple more sock accounts in 2016 and recreated some previously deleted articles word-for-word, as described at Sockpuppet investigations/MusicLover650/Archive. They then began to disrupt music articles, especially hip hop and rap biographies, adding "associated acts" that are not closely associated, if at all. More than 20 socks were created in 2017, and also IP addresses were used.

A related LTA case is Long-term abuse/Dog and rapper vandal, with a sockpuppet archive at Sockpuppet investigations/John Kwiecinski/Archive. In January 2019, a checkuser said "in my check I came across several CU-blocked Kwiecinski socks, and they are Technically indistinguishable from the MusicLover650 socks."
