Presumably to avoid detection after I warned they could be blocked for disruptive editing, they used a second account to recreate articles on Alexis Mendiola and Raul Gudiño, less than a day after the formed was deleted by afd. All previous versions of both articles were created by Alexx04. (See Raul Gudiño and Raul Manolo Gudiño for the latter.) Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:15, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Could be an abandoned account. I'd wait for the old account to resume editing before blocking. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:04, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Similar username, similar interest in Mexican football (their edits to Raúl Gudiño and Alexis Mendiola Arroyo are particularly telling since repeatedly recreating those pages is what got Alexx04 blocked in the first place), and a similar disregard for notability guidelines, having repeatedly recreated an article on Jesse Gonzalez.

 * Indeffed and tagged based on behavior. No point in requesting a CU,, when the account(s) are stale. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:30, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

They appear to have created their account for the express purpose of creating Alexis Mendiola (footballer), as their first edit to the article namespace was to create this page. Repeated inappropriate creations of this page (Alexis Mendiola and Alexis Mendiola Arroyo) is what got Alexx04 blocked in the first place. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2015 (UTC)



To further reinforce JamesBWatson's request for CU to check for sleepers, I am adding this account to the investigation. They created an article on Javier Que, which a previous Alexx sock had done under Javier Que Delgado. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:53, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello to all I notice that my account is under the investigation of Sockpuppet investigations/Alexx04 I'm an administrator of the website www.embajadoresaztecas.org that follow the mexican footballers that plays on Europe or another contries of América, Asia, Oceania etc... I started using Wikipedia for that reason to create wikipages about notable players who are already debuted on a profesional league. I don't know what is the problem with my account or that has to do with the account of Alexx04. So I need to know waht'll hapened because I'm afraid that my account will be blocked. Thanks for your time and sorry for the inconvenence.ByTheTime (talk) 04:19, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

 * I have compared Mexicofree's editing history with that of the master and known sockpuppets, and there is no doubt at all that this is another sockpuppet, so I have blocked and tagged the account. However, before I found this sockpuppet investigation I had already found and blocked another one of Alexx04's sockpuppets, namely Hallohallo16. In view of these two socks which were both created and used before either was blocked, there may also be other accounts (either sleepers or active accounts that have not yet been noticed) so I think a CheckUser would still be a good idea.

 * To check against  and other non-stale socks (ie. ). Also endorsing the sleepers check.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  23:54, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * Jornada17's edits are also clearly behaviorally related. Bear in mind that Alex 1616 is an already-blocked sock, but not a confirmed sock. Nonetheless, I think we're safe in tagging these accounts as confirmed socks of the master. Accounts not already blocked have been indeffed and tagged. Three already-blocked accounts were retagged. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:52, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

This account was registered about a week after the last SPI into this editor was closed, and has now recreated articles on Javier Que and Ulises Tavares, which Alexx04 and socks have already created multiple times. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:06, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
