This is obviously banned editor User:AbsoluteGleek92, who in his last WP:ANI swore to come back with sock puppets. AbsoluteGleek92 was banned on October 28, 2011 and RepoDude19 registered on October 31, 2011. Compare edits AbsoluteGleek92 -> RepoDude19. — Mike  Allen   03:37, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Possible, but I'm adding a CU to confirm that they're the same before we go around tagging anyone as also socking. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 09:27, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Username similarity; same area of interest - film articles; same type and quality of edits to infoboxes, categories, formatting. He has reverted to his older habit of not using any edit summaries at all, which habit the sockmaster changed after an ANI thread about it. In nine months, this sock has made four edits to talk pages, and lack of communication, as you can see from the aforementioned ANI thread, was a defining characteristic of sockmaster. Most recently, his creation of a new article resulted in a tagging for copyvio and the article had to be cleaned of its infringing content. I spent a long, long time cleaning up after the sockmaster and I do not relish cleaning up after this one. Checkuser may be quite stale on the sockmaster, I don't know the technical details of that utility. Elizium23 (talk) 04:44, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
