Very odd behaviour where David Kendrick from the band Devo is inserted into the Bastille (band) page without any reference. There was a discussion about this here on the Talk page of the band back in July. That involved the editor USAQuidditch, who also added Kendrick to the Template page at the time, here. Today, editor Peterpansshadow began adding Kendrick as was the IPv6 (diff and diff). With similar behaviour at the Template page here. Karst (talk) 16:34, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

 * MissParisSlue444 has three articles of intersection with Salem.leo.1.
 * Suspected sock doesn't have many edits to their name, which is why three intersections are suspicious.
 * Two of the articles are about carbonated soda, the third is an edit to Throw Some D's, a single from an album by rapper Rich Boy. Very weird range for this to be a coincidence.
 * The same day Salem.leo.1 was blocked, made this edit to the Throw Some D's article. I see a mention of 2600:8805:* in the archive, so this is likely related in case a range block is warranted. Geolocates roughly to Virginia, US. Some of the IPv4s in the archive also geolocate to roughly this area. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:05, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

. Just look at the username and editing behavior, it's a direct giveaway. Also, the sockmaster has been engaging in socking and edit-warring on Wikimedia Commons, so the Stewards may have to come in and Globally Lock these accounts.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 06:05, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Hurricane (Luke Combs song)

Pretty ducky. Koxem918 has edited 8 different articles, but there are four intersections with socks of Tamara787 in a very strange area of interest: a GG Allin album, Mountain Dew, a Soulja Boy song, and Template:Syrian Civil War infobox. When Koxem918 made this edit, I got pinged that I was being reverted, since my previous edit there was to revert the last Tamara sock. So, it's fairly obvious that they were scouring through their last batch of edits to see what they could restore.

Anyway, I also noticed significant intersections with Jack Gaines, who was blocked as a sock of. I suspect this is probably Tamara787 as well. I think a clerk would need to look into that--I don't know if any CU data on Jack Gaines would still exist.

Given how prolific Tamara787 has been recently with account creation, I wonder if a CU would be helpful to see if there are any other open accounts? Regards. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:03, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

If Tamara787 has still been creating new accounts recently, then the IP range should be Rangeblocked. The problem is that many of the socks (especially the recent ones) are created on Wikipedia Commons before migrating here, so the IP range might have to be Globally Blocked in order to effectively curb further socking.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 09:43, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * You should also note that Tamara787 often socks on Commons as well. Most of the socks within the past year have a significant amount of activity on Commons.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 09:50, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Are there any Sleeper accounts (on either the English Wikipedia or Commons)?  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 00:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

I added another account: Roverisk122, whose behavior indicates that it is a probably sock. You might want to have a look at this account. Can a CU please run a Sleeper Check and Rangeblock this user's IPs? Without a rangeblock, he's just going to evade his block and make more sock accounts, as we have previously seen.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 00:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * By the way, if only 1 IP has been used in the past 6 months, that IP should be blocked for 6 months, in order to curtail this user's persistent sockpuppetry.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 00:34, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Probable sleeper account, given the name of the account. The username is almost completely identical to another confirmed sock of Tamara787, specifically User:EbenezerStooge1. The account in question was also created less than a week before the CU blocked account with the similar name, making it more likely to be a sock of Tamara787. Please run a Sleeper Check on the accounts, and indef block the named account if it is indeed a sock. It's important to block off even the inactive accounts, because this sockmaster is known for utilizing Sleepers and cross-wiki abuse.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 21:37, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Obvious duck, given the contributions and the types of articles edited. Requesting a Sleeper Check, given this sockmaster's prior history of creating multiple socks in a given instance.

Ichabbie396 is the latest incarnation of someone who's fixated on Alan Jackson, making edits like and. See the history of the page; there's no need to wonder whether this is sockpuppetry. Also see the history of User:TenPoundHammer and User talk:TenPoundHammer (and probably the history of my talk page in a few days, since filing this SPI probably means I'll get attacked) for further disruption by a series of vandal-only accounts. I'm just coming here to request a check for sleepers — unusually for a sockpuppet, Ichabbie396 first edited more than two years ago (and another account, ThunderChick23, first edited in 2013), so this person knows to register multiple accounts beforehand. Obviously you won't find any accounts that last edited years ago, but maybe you'd find newer sleepers (similar to Beckethic1944), or sleepers that are editing now in order to be autoconfirmed.

 * Sorry, I've only seen this person called "the Alan Jackson vandal", since the edits are obvious enough that you don't need checkuser to establish connections (the edit patterns are almost as obvious as moving pages to PAGENAME on wheels), so I didn't know that there were any previous SPIs. Could this be merged with the Angela Criss SPI?  Nyttend (talk) 11:33, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm in the process of checking a few things. Backup 5.0 is a match with 1Dimensionbacons, which is the oldest I found so far. All these accounts are already blocked, some globally. Pinging and. This abuser is not dumb. Drmies (talk) 16:58, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Update: Backup 4.5 matches Colin and Marcos.valentini.35. All are blocked, but not tagged. I also looked at Currency2012, who seemed innocent enough but may be linked via this and other similar edit from the IP. One wonders if Currency was hacked. Drmies (talk) 17:01, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

I would suggest adding the following to the report:
 * Chattahucci Gang
 * Rosa Bonemann
 * Alan Jokeson
 * MHCGX90D
 * LBTGPX77
 * JGaines1997
 * Rockmusicheatersso
 * Flooded with them hundreds
 * Salemleo1989
 * CaptainSwan1997

I believe that Chattahucci Gang is the oldest. Dharmalion76 (talk) 18:22, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Yet another Angela Criss sock for the same reasons as the 6.0 backup. The only reason I'm reporting this, despite how obvious it seems, is so the account gets locked globally Jdcomix (talk) 22:58, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I personally would not have left talk page access enabled, but I've declined an unblock request that didn't even deny the sock puppetry allegation. I've also requested a global lock.  I don't really see anything else to be done, so closing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:14, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
