Every single edit aside from their sandbox is literally to blank the socks user page and talk. Fairly obvious quacking... CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  14:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

 * ✅ plus:
 * is a technical match but . Unfortunately, there has been no behavioral description in this case, so the analysis will have to be fresh. My own analysis is the behavior does not match, but the case behavior is more diverse than at first glance. For example, there is certainly a focus on space flight articles. However, there are also edits to human rights organizations and beauty pageants.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:11, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * - Please indef HansZwiller. Given the technical evidence plus this edit, the user appears to indeed be a sock. Sro23 (talk) 22:05, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment: Draft:Tau Zero Foundation and Draft:Association of Spaceflight Professionals, two of the main targets in this case, have been re-created by IPs, and there are cross-edits to Draft:Christopher Altman. I just nominated these two further drafts for deletion. Ariadacapo (talk) 10:46, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

This IP is recreating the draft articles that were previously created by the various Altman socks. Filing this as part of the case for G5 and to show the extent of the block evasion. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:43, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Edits are those of another Altman sock, including tweaking the ASF draft and arguing with administrators. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:49, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Another Altman sock. Tweaking Association of Spaceflight Professionals. Other edits have to do with space flight. (Have not checked whether other edits may be valid.) Robert McClenon (talk) 23:51, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
