 * Planethunter91 and Voyager95 seem ❌ from a technical perspective and geolocate to different continents. However, Planethunter91 is ✅ to the following:
 * Voyager95's geolocation is wrong for the joe-jobbing LTA trolls I know of (Architect 134, Nsmutte). NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Is there a reason why you didn't block the two confirmed socks, as well as increasing the block of the master to indefinite?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Lazy checkuser got hungry and wandered off to find something to eat. That sounds good to me, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:06, 20 January 2019 (UTC) edit: err, Alfa0151991 is the oldest account.  Forgot to mention that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:09, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Promotes Exoplanet channel, per master and other socks; added material at Wow! signal is the same as the material added by other socks at other, related (mostly protected) articles. WP:DUCK.  General Ization Talk  22:39, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 * At Wow! signal, it got started by 88.20.191.228, so I suspect 88.20.191.228 is another sock. Rowan Forest (talk) 22:47, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Edit warring and promotion of a YouTube channel called "Exoplanet Channel" in a few astronomy articles. 88.20.191.228 was recently blocked but the time just expired he is back at it, now at the article Wow signal. The two main SPI reports in the past are located at and. On the Talk page at his sock-puppet account Planethunter91 he vowed to bypass the indefinite block and use multiple sock-puppets and ISPs to spam that channel, that all his sock-puppets describe as "academic".

Content added is exactly the content proposed by the master and previous socks at this article. WP:DUCK  General Ization Talk </i> 00:24, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This comment moved from a dupe SPI Gaelan 💬✏️ 00:27, 9 February 2019 (UTC)


 * User #2 I added above has already been blocked and confirmed a sock by CU; adding here purely for recordkeeping. <span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT, Arial, Helvetica; font-weight:140;"> General Ization <i style="color: #000666;">Talk </i> 00:28, 9 February 2019 (UTC)


 * He is back at Wow! signal as user Jordan6eco. Thanks, Rowan Forest (talk) 02:21, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * IIRC pings only work if they're in the same edit as the signature, so here's a fixed ping. Gaelan 💬✏️ 02:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 * . Seems obvious enough that CU isn't necessary.  I semi-protected the article for a week, which will hopefully discourage further socking. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:12, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
