Possibly/likely WP:DUCK- quite a few overlapping article edits between accounts, noticed same exact edit on Blue's Clues & You! (see and )

In regards to the 'overlapping article edits between accounts', see the history for articles including Chloé Bourgeois, Luka Couffaine, Nino Lahiffe, Lila Rossi, Aretha Franklin, Your Face Sounds Familiar (Philippine season 3), and probably many others.

 * The overlap in editing interests, plus the fact that this account became active around the time of the last sock block, is unlikely to be a coincidence. They're also trying to add bogus sock tags to other people's userpages, which seals the deal that this isn't a legitimate account. - please indef Rainbowlipstick and  (who was created by the Rainbowlipstick account).

It's sometimes worthwhile looking for sleepers, which I've just done - nothing I can see.

 * While neither the behavioral evidence nor the CU evidence on its own is ground for a block, in combination this adds up to something blockable and indeed just shy of proven. For this to not be sockpuppetry, you would need someone with similar IP and UA, similar interests (one French animated TV show and one Philippine reality TV show), similar username taste, and similar userpage taste. That seems very unlikely. : Please block Magic oggy indefinitely as a suspected sock of Annabananaxii. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 20:31, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

I noticed this IP address registered to the Garden Grove Unified School District making large edits on List of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir characters; which is noted as a target for this LTA. They're also copying Fandom, which lines up with the LTA, see here for example which is the LTA copying a lot of the same information about the same character from Fandom that the IP did (especially the "In this episode" stuff). No edits on other targets like Philippine TV shows, though, so it may not be this user, but it wouldn't hurt to check or block. wizzito &#124;  say hello!  18:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Edit: I decided to dig through the history of the Miraculous characters page and found an IP doing the same Fandom copying to the same character's (Chloe's) section and got reverted. Another IP did the exact same thing and was also reverted as Fandom copying. The IPv6 is Cox Communications in Las Vegas, Nevada (may be pretty telling considering this edit by an Anna sock to a page about an arena in the Las Vegas area....), the IPv4 is Converge ICT in Iloilo, Western Visayas, Phillipines. They're both a few months ago, but worth noting.

The continuous, sometimes-large edits to the characters page that I noted were done by the first IP were also performed by the Annabanana sock HeyRoycee, see here and the sock's edit history for example. wizzito &#124;  say hello!  01:24, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

A sock of Anna just got blocked, and their user page formerly claimed that they were American and from or in NYC. Might not mean anything/be a lie, or might confirm some of what I said above (CU comments on previous reports seem to say that they all have similar IPs, though, so I may be wrong here, because I'm not a CU). If true, this LTA may be a frequent traveler. wizzito &#124;  say hello!  03:49, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Same targeted articles as previous socks, including Masked Singer-related articles and Philippines articles. Back at articles edited by previous socks including: Masked Singer Pilipinas (season 2), Love in 40 Days, Zoren Legaspi, Christian Vasquez, Little Princess (Philippine TV series), Prima Donnas, Loisa Andalio, and I'm sure other articles as well.

Username is also quite similar to previous socks including: Banana Lip, Lipstick Monkey, Zebra Lipstick, Chicken Lipstick, and Rainbowlipstick.

Finally, the current user page contains a simple, "Hello", previously seen similarly at examples including:, , , , , , , , , , , and I'm pretty sure other previous socks as well.

Given the time since the last check, a check for sleepers probably wouldn't hurt either. Magitroopa (talk) 06:31, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Similar/same targeted articles such as Masked Singer Pilipinas (season 2) and Little Princess (Philippine TV series). Username is also quite similar to past sock 'Rose Carrot Joaquin'.

Not entirely sure about 'Elly Mar Banay Cuenca' and 'Blooming Pumpkin', but both are possible given their continuing simple, "Hello!", "Hi!", or "Hey guys!", as is standard by previous socks. Sleeper check may be useful, and would possibly confirm/deny the other two (I'm fairly confident in 'Joaquin', however...) Magitroopa (talk) 19:21, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I also recently came upon Sockpuppet investigations/Love in 40 Days- is it worth looking into to see if it's related to this? Would think possibly since the sockmaster there is based off of the article Love in 40 Days, and Annabananaxii has past sock 'The Clash (Philippine Season 2)', based off of the article The Clash (season 2).

 * Blocking as the editing overlap and username similarities make it obvious. I am also unsure about the other two, but then again I'm not fully familiar with this case. Going to do a rare thing for me and say...  to (a) figure out whether the others are related, and (b) for a sleeper check as they always seem to turn up more accounts here.  firefly  ( t · c ) 10:34, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Both and  are, but it's no more than being in the same country as some non-stale proven accounts in the archive.  And just barely possible, since there's some tell-tale patterns I'm seeing in other socks that I'm not seeing in these two.  On the other hand, from the CU logs, I'd call them both  to a few stale socks in a different way.  My hunch is we're looking at two or more different people living in the same country and sharing an interest in a topic we know is very popular.  , but you need to be looking for specific tells rather than just general overlapping editing histories. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:48, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm still confident that Joaquin is a sock based on the username and editing pattern. I'm not willing to endorse a block on Elly Mar Banay Cuenca without strong CU evidence - I agree that there are some differences in behaviour (e.g. the master tends to edit American TV shows in addition to Filipino ones). The other account hasn't edited in several months. Closing. Spicy (talk) 11:34, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
