Suspected sockpuppets

A subtle vandal, obsessed by various UK sports presenters and children's programmes. MO is to add convincing nonsense claiming that Celebrity X appeared in Programme Y   then reverting to that edit when reversed, often with the edit summary "ROLL BACK"       The page CITV is now protected to prevent him specifically from editing it  - this new account will let him get round this. The next step may have be having this user banned entirely: I don't know how to go about this. ◦ Trey Maturin 16:22, 27 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Apologies for making extra work for you, - I'm new at this! The Ardnashee2014 account was used mostly to institutionalise the vandalism of the Brentford1889 account, as seen here:   but it's clearly the same person. Both accounts are now blocked for being sockpuppets of each other, if I'm reading this right. I'm seeking to tie MAGA692 into this account snarl-up as part of ridding us of this troublesome vandal for good. Some sort of "block on sight" thing in future. Do we do that? ◦ Trey Maturin 16:41, 30 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi again The links between edits are sequential. Brentford1889 made the edits, Ardnashee2014 institutionalised them, the IPs defend them, MAGA692 makes the edits again afresh, the IPs defend them... and so on. I believe Brentford1889 and Ardnashee2014 are already proven socks of each other (as it were). MAGA692 suddenly appeared editing the same articles, with the same edits, using the same edit summaries as the IPs that were previously defending the nonsense edits of Brentford1889 that Ardnashee2014 was institutionalising. It's a chain. ◦ Trey Maturin 20:32, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

 * - All diffs that you provided are from MAGA692 and the IPs. Please, provide some links to show connection with other two accounts.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  20:18, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I still don't see any connection between MAGA692 and other two named accounts. Am I missing something? I reviewed your diffs, but none of them show that connection.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  18:48, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * - There is indeed some connection (ie. and  connect Ardnashee2014 to the IP, while  and  connect MAGA692 to the same IP). Please, compare MAGA692 to the other two named accounts.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  22:54, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Blocked MAGA692 as a sock of Brentford1889 and Ardnashee2014 (who I agree are ✅ to each other)., though they can probably be handled based on behavioral evidence alone. GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:41, 1 October 2017 (UTC) GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:41, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I moved the case to the name of the oldest account. None of the IPs is currently active. Closing this now.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:49, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
