 * 2006 December had a strange obsession with proposed Interstate Highways . DietCokeIsTheBest (DietCoke for brevity's sake) has the same affinity
 * 2006 December also really liked Interstate templates such as Template:I-30 aux  DietCoke likes them as well
 * 2006 December blatantly violated the copyright of www.aaroads.com and affiliated websites . DietCoke has done the same
 * 2006 December has socked before –Fredddie™ 23:23, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Endorse CU to check for any sleepers and confirm the socking here. The account has been blocked by, but I think that a check would still be beneficial.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Already blocked as a WP:DUCK sock of 2006 December, this user claims to be a new user who wants to do the exact same things that was 2006 December's MO. I'm requesting CU to verify that he's a sock and to flush out any others that may be out there. –Fredddie™ 02:27, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Given the repeated block evasion, a check to flush out any sleepers is an excellent idea. -- Kinu  t/c 15:43, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

All three accounts above have an interest in roads: (editing the same template)  (a similar template)

All three accounts have an interest in college football:

Two accounts have an interest in years:

Given the username, we think it may be 2006 December but we are not sure (it could be one of the other road LTAs). CU is needed to sort out the mess and to check for sleepers given the overlap in timeframes. Rschen7754 04:57, 1 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Update: makes the connection to 2006 December quite well, but a CU for sleepers would be nice. --Rschen7754 05:00, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅:
 * (already blocked as a suspected puppet)
 * The following accounts are ❌ to the master and to each other:
 * I've blocked and tagged Yearguy. I've retagged Interstate 285. Bear in mind that if a clerk wants to block the unrelated accounts, both are older than the master. .--Bbb23 (talk) 17:29, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm closing this with no action taken towards the unrelated accounts. I'm not terribly convinced with what little edits there are to compare. Also, the community of editors with an interest in US roads is reasonably big, so the interest is not surprising. Mike V • Talk 00:58, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? --Rschen7754 01:27, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Personally, the connection doesn't seem strong enough where I would be comfortable blocking the users. If you feel otherwise, you are welcome to do so. Mike V • Talk 23:08, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
