Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Master was warned about his edits, new accounts showed up making the same types of unsourced, insider access additions to the article. Latter account already blocked for impersonation, although that was more AGF as there wasn't enough for SPI. Note, musician's real name is Shawn (per article, no outing0) Star   Mississippi  14:26, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Hmm. The proposed master, MaxAvery1999, is ✅ to, who was blocked for spamming back in August. The other two accounts are ✅ to one another, but technically to the proposed master. Very likely coordinating, but I think it's MEAT rather than sock. Will block the unblocked accounts, and think about how to tag.  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:08, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, nuts - sorry, moving too quickly, King Gug's block was a soft block, they're allowed to make a new account. I'll unblock that one, but will give them some guidance about COI editing. Girth Summit  (blether)  16:13, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Girth Summit for all of this. @Marchjuly and I were unsure on how to best handle that situation with the new account named for the subject, but agree with your course of action. Star   Mississippi  16:23, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * OK - MaxAvery1999 is blocked as a sock, Shawn g2200 was blocked but is now unblocked, and they have been advised about COI editing. Case renamed to reflect the master. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
