Recent attacks against me on my user and talk pages (here and here) made me suspicious about editor Ryanlochteboy. he then proceeded to do more attacks for which he was just blocked. An article that it was happening to a lot was World number 1 ranked male tennis players where the history shows quack like a duck editors. Namely Ryanlochteboy, Conwaymarty, Briantoronto, and Jakemanboy. All suddenly editing the same topics of the article. I thought coincidence until I looked at Yuna Kim: Revision history and saw edits by Conwaymarty and Jakemanboy... the Grant Mattos: Revision history where it shows all four of them editing... Michelle Kwan: Revision history which shows Conwaymarty and Briantoronto... Christina Cox: Revision history which has Ryanlochteboy and Conwaymarty. These edits are are on a variety of topics and three of the accounts were created in Oct of 2016 (one in march of 2017). Many of their edits were reverted as spam/vandalsim.

Edits by user "Eyeamgreat" also show up a lot when these guys edit, but I'm not as sure of that one as I am these four suspected socks. Maybe these four are a banned editor from the past that is rearing his ugly head? Please check these out against known problem editors. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:02, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Some diffs:

1) Notice the Conwaymarty edit summary on this diff...corrupt mods who nearly bankrupt wikipedia are impossible to debate with sorry. And another diff right here.

2) Compare to the Ryanlochteboy edit summary in the same article. And one of his personal attacks sounds in the same vein.

But the big thing is the examples I gave above, that over multiple articles on multiple topics, these new editors keep popping up in clumps of edits. Maybe it's not enough to go on but something just isn't kosher about this. Maybe they have a legitimate reason for multiple accounts. Maybe they're just buddies who like to edit the same things and all made accounts at the same time. Maybe. Maybe, who just blocked Ryanlochteboy, would have better insight than I do. But I need some sleep right now so I'll have to check on more similarities in 15 hours or so. Fyunck(click) (talk) 11:13, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  09:03, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you please ask for a CU? Three of these accounts were created in October 2016 which seems suspicious. --Neil N  talk to me 19:56, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

 * - This looks pretty clear cut. Given the number of accounts used previously the existence of more socks is a possibility here. Please check to see if any more exist. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:04, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅, blocked and tagged. No other accounts seen. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:35, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
