Simple case here, no need for checkuser. Music&sportsguy100,000 is already blocked. Sportsman1000 showed up doing the same exact thing, on July 29, the same day that Music&sportsguy100,000 was blocked. Binksternet (talk) 22:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

The latest socks have been attracted to the article List of Music Choice channels, updating it frequently, and shifting things around.

At Catch a Falling Star, Sportsman1000 and Sportslover999 performed nearly the same edit.

At WTGE, three socks were interested in the date of the radio station's format change: Sportslover999, Sports&musicfan1000 and Sportsman1000.

At KNXX, a radio station serving Baton Rouge, three socks were involved: Sportslover999, Sports&musicfan1000 and Sportsman1000.

At WLRO, three socks and an IP were involved.


 * For the record, IPs from Baton Rouge were blocked doing the same thing as Baseballman93.100: 72.203.155.25 and 107.135.73.67. Other Baton Rouge IPs have also been active: 72.207.236.12 and 76.165.242.143.

 * - To compare Sportsman1000 and Music&sportsguy100,000 with each other and with previous socks.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The checkuser data is not terribly enlightening towards a solution, but Sportsman1000 is ✅. Courcelles (talk) 21:35, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I've blocked and tagged the new accounts. Given the ranges available early detection of new accounts (easy-peasy given their neon obviousness) and liberal use of semi-protection are our best options.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:14, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Simple case, obvious as hell, no checkuser needed. At List of Music Choice channels, the new sock went straight for the article that previous socks had been so interested in, directly after protection had expired, doing the exact same fiddly little tweaking that had characterized earlier socks. See this addition by BaseballFan&MusicLover compared to this addition by blocked sock Baseballguy87.5, and this addition by blocked sock Sportsman1000.

These users have been adding hoax information regarding a format change to the article of WTGE, seen here:diff1, diff2, and then changing the date of the hoax format change, seen here:diff, just as previous sockpuppets did, seen here:diff1, diff2. Mr. Jazz, Rhythm & Blues edits have also been focused on Louisiana and Mississippi radio stations, just as Baseballman93.100's were as seen here. Tdl1060 (talk) 02:05, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Mr. Jazz, Rhythm & Blues' latest edit, seen here, provides further evidence that they are a sockpuppet of Baseballman93.100, as they share the habit Baseballman93.100 and their socks had of making unexplained changes to the genre in the infoboxes of the articles of songs, as seen here:diff1, diff2.--Tdl1060 (talk) 03:57, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Same Baton Rouge IP location, same naming style of the sock account, same activity on radio station articles. The person worked with the IP address for less then 15 minutes, then 40 minutes later started with the registered account. Here are two versions of the same edit: Here is a similar change by blocked sock and new account: I don't think checkuser is needed as this is clearly the same person.

 * - Per username and edits. Please indef the registered account. The IP hasn't been active for a while so no need for action there. Sro23 (talk) 21:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Definitely DUCK for all of these. Baton Rouge IP 72.207.229.233 and RadioGuy849 made the same attempt to insert an external image. 875Mr.OldFash edits for a while and then gets logged out which exposes Baton Rouge IP 72.207.229.233 in the sequence. Binksternet (talk) 05:48, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Similar activity on Baton Rouge pages. Previous sock was "MRRadioFan990" so this is a number he likes. This is the second sign of activity in this network in the last day and I wonder if CU might be usable to find additional accounts. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:23, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Yep – the consistent fiddling with infoboxes about Baton Rouge radio stations is extremely ducky (compare the contributions of Radiolover and RadioGuy). – this IP is very static, so an extended block will be fine; please block it for 6 months. The edits look like they're all from the same person, so a hard block is likely okay as well, but I'll leave that up to the reviewing admin's discretion. Thanks and best,  Blablubbs&#124;talk 22:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * IP blocked 6 months as requested. Closing, Cabayi (talk) 13:34, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
