I originally reported AJ DA YOUNGAN as a possible Brockhold sock in December 2020, but Ponyo's investigation indicated that they were not. I found this surprising because the articles they edited were among the same articles that Brockhold favors. (See User:Beyond My Ken/Brockhold socks) The account was subsequently blocked for other reasons, and since then we've had a plethora of obvious (and not quite so obvious) socks, some of which were blocked, while others slipped by:


 * AJ DA YOUNGAN - created 12/22/20, indeffed 12/27 by User:DrKay
 * AJLUMBER - cr. 12/31, ind. 12/31, DrKay
 * AJISCRAZY - cr. 1/1/21, ind. 1/1, DrKay
 * AJDAITALIAN - cr. 1/1, ind. 1/2, DrKay
 * AJDADON1 - cr. 2/27, ind. 2/28, DrKay
 * AJ DA ONLY DON - cr. 2/28, ind. 3/1, DrKay
 * AJ DA ITALIAN DON - cr. 6/9, ind. 6/10, User:Bishonen


 * Aj da don philly - cr. 8/11, not blocked
 * Don AJ of Philly - cr. 10/11, not blocked
 * AJ DA EMPEROR -- cr. 10/23, not blocked

 * Louissss da sun king - cr. 11/6, not blocked
 * AJ DA SUN KINGGG - cr. 11/14, not blocked
 * AJ DA SUN EMPEROR - cr. 12/12, not blocked

Most of these will, of course, be stale, but the last is currently active, and the two before that may still have data available. They continue to edit articles in the Brockhold list, especially Tuileries Palace, Palace of Versailles, Louvre Palace, First French Empire, National Fascist Party, Hermann Göring, Fascist Italy (1922–1943), Italian Social Republic, and others. The vast majority of the edits of these accounts have been reverted by editors, including myself, and bots. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:06, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

I have blocked all of the newer accounts. DrKay (talk) 08:29, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * All active accounts have been indeffed (thanks, DrKay), so closing. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 17:23, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * AJ DAYAMA is the oldest account. Did you want to move it or leave as is? Mkdw  talk 05:03, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping, Mkdw. That account hadn't been blocked at the time of my close. I was about to move there, but actually, DrKay, are you sure on that block? "AJ Dayama" is a real name, common in parts of the world where it's more common to spell one's name in all caps. And it's five years older thatn the next-oldest here, and with no edits we can use to compare. While it's unlikely that this will ever matter, I have seen accounts make their first edit 5+ years after account creation. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 20:35, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I've undone that one. DrKay (talk) 20:46, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. All others . Think we're good to archive now. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 20:58, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
The article Tuileries Palace was a target of AJ DA YOUNGAN socks back in June; the page was semiprotected for three months. Less than 48 hours after the semiprotection expired, the disruption resumed. This is the third sock within the past four days.

Compare this diff from the current user with these diffs from prior socks:, , and.

I've requested a new round of semiprotection at WP:RFPP but am filing this report to request a block of the latest account. Aoi (青い) (talk) 06:45, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
