Obvious of the original account; trying to re-create their false radio station in draftspace as Draft:WCC-FM, then sneak it into real radio show/station articles as a 'sister station' or affiliate of the show.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:05, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Moved case to .  you cu-blocked Jaylonbrice12, but your block message didn't say who they're a sock of.  I'm assuming I can go ahead and tag them as CU-confirmed to 85.5 FOR LA? -- RoySmith (talk) 12:24, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , that's correct. You can also add to this case and . –  bradv  🍁  22:37, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

tagged Jaylon brice initially as a sock of 85.5 (though no block?), but this account is now edit warring to remove deletion tags on WRBL -FM, by, a recreation of the same by (who also endlessly edit warred til they were indeffed on the same article.)

Oh and also, the obvious "23:20, 18 August 2019 diff hist +5‎ m KXBS ‎ EDITED BY 85.5 TEAM AND JAYLON BRICE from 85.5... PRAXIDICAE🌈  23:21, 17 August 2022 (UTC)


 * One would think the sock tag would be a deterrent to using it again
 * I mean, they wouldn't be getting sock blocked if they were smart, @Beeblebrox ;) PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:12, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Looks I didn't block because the account had been inactive for quite some time when I spotted it. One would think the sock tag would be a deterrent to using it again, but apparently subtlety is not the strong suit here. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:56, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

See their talk page; another attempt at WCC creation with spaces in the title, along with a new hoax attempt with Articles for deletion/WRBL-FM and its added space sister, Articles for deletion/WRBL -FM.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:07, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

 * - obvious sock per recreation of the same hoax, but considering that this account is from 2021 and was from 2019, I think a sleeper check to make sure there are no other accounts up their sleeve would be a good idea. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 16:43, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Recreation of the frequently created Draft:WRBL-FM about a fictional station. By the way, User:Johnbrownthebrown is the only creator of that title not to be tagged as a sock but probably belongs in the set. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:40, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

RadiokingInc created Draft:WHHI-FM, about a purported St. Louis radio station (notwithstanding there is already an FM radio station with the WHHI call sign in Wisconsin). The connection here: the draft claims that "WHHI" was, until 2022, "WRBL-FM". While all the past accounts are probably stale, the quacking is nonetheless clear.

 * An even more direct connection exists in the form of the logo image uploaded on Commons: that upload was done not by RadiokingInc, but rather Jaylon brice. Of course, is already blocked and in the archive here, but this does indicate that this is a cross-wiki affair and the connection goes beyond just "WRBL-FM".

They are already soft-blocked (see also this COIN discussion), but there's enough quacking here that the block should be made harder: their attempts to create the likes of TRBL-FM and TRBL - FM certainly remind me of the "WRBL-FM" favored by past socks, and the repeated insistence that this is By Radio King Inc Team or By Radioking Inc compels me to point out that was the last known sock.
