Name's nearly the exact same as the sock and although their only edit was to blank an article their main interests here are Singapore bus interchanges, Thanks – Davey 2010 Talk 14:34, 26 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Also they've made a UTRS appeal at some point which I'm assuming was closed as denied? so they should probably be made aware (if they need to know - not sure how utrs works), Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 14:44, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

This account hasn't edited any bus articles yet, which makes it difficult to tell. However, the name certainly follows the pattern of previous socks. It might be time we run a CU to find out who's who because I'm starting to get confused. was recently blocked as a sock of 118 alex. From looking at his archives, Profile101 has impersonated Timothyhouse1 before. So, are TimothyS1 and 1193 ALEX socks of 118 alex, or are we being trolled? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It has at ro:Special:Contribuții/1193_ALEX. CheckUser evidence from meta and rowiki is inconclusive, with a different IP and UA from past accounts. Worth checking here too. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 00:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I looked at this account earlier, and agree with . This account appears to be ❌ to the other "alex" accounts. Timothy S1 looks like, as far as I can gather from CU logs, Timothyhouse2, and the "alex" accounts as well. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 01:37, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Obviously yet another sockpuppet of User:118 alex. The duck feathers are all about bus routes.

SMB315C edits everything related to Singapore and Singapore transport (which is fine) however bizarrely they'd CSD'd s and s userpage under "Block user, makes no sense to keep page" which seems pretty odd?, Considering they're supposedly a new user they seem to know the socks as well as the CSD template pretty well?, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 13:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
