Original user was blocked for less than civil behaviour after warnings about adding unsourced content. New user making identical style edits and summaries (ex: old vs. new). Never properly appealed for an unblock and is again making the same edits. Yosemiter (talk) 20:29, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

There is CU-overlap, but it needs a closer look than I can give it right now. Behaviorally it seems to be a match. Drmies (talk) 19:31, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

 * They're already blocked, and all the CU data is stale anyway, so nothing left to do here. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:39, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Puppet is adding same exact content that the sockmaster adds which was removed a few days ago DatGuyTalkContribs 14:05, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * 1/2 and crossover. - Please block  indefinitely. A clerk will also need to merge this to Sockpuppet investigations/1978 Los Angeles Ravagers following the block. --Jack Frost (talk) 14:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * V3r!d!$ Qu0 2001 and This Groovers are, as expected, ✅ to each other; recorded in cuwiki. . Closing. KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 05:37, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Quack. Unsourced trivia and POV comments about sports teams, similarly to the just-blocked socks and , and often to the same articles. See and  for typical POV examples, and  and  for typical unsourced trivia about teams' theme songs. Meters (talk) 20:53, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Matches the MO of a very new account performing high-volume mobile editing of American sports teams. Currently temporarily blocked for disruptive editing, but not enough for an indef.

Requesting CU since there is a very slight mismatch between the behaviour of this account and previous socks which doesn't give me the confidence to block them myself. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:40, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

 * I compared against the socks that we have data for, but apart from being in the same large country, there aren't any similarities. I'm in territory.   Girth Summit  (blether)  18:01, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Not convinced, especially in light of the CU results. The sockmaster seems to specialize in adding unsourced content to articles. This one is mostly just blanking stuff. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 06:11, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
