Username is essentially identical to the CU-confirmed plus the same (bad) attempts at antivandalism, all using manual undo instead of automated tools. It's a duck, but requesting CU for sleepers. Blablubbs | talk 00:14, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * When Template:GlobalLocksRequested is used, does it indicate that locks have already been requested (e.g. via IRC or Meta), or does the template trigger a notifcation somewhere (similar to Template:Checkuser needed)?-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:52, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , it’s the former – I use it after I’ve already put a lock request up on Meta. For this case, here was the request. Mz7 (talk) 17:02, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I was hoping it was the latter, only because I'm lazy and thought perhaps the template would allow us to skip a step in making the request elsewhere.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

This account is definitely a sock of someone, I think I've got the master right here but am requesting checkuser to confirm and for a sleeper check. The accounts first edits were to create a talk page with an archive box and fancy title, which is exactly the same thing Blane did with their previous account. . The account then started having a (fairly incompetent, e.g. requesting CheckUser at the administrator's noticeboard) go at anti-vandalism work, which matches exactly the behaviour of their previous socks. The account also uses the exact same style of almost incomprehensible broken English as their previous socks, e.g. "One for you IP address." . 192.76.8.74 (talk) 04:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

 * - I agree with the filer that this looks a lot like Blaine2020, and it's especially suggestive that this account was created right after was blocked, but I think CU would be useful for confirmation and to catch any other potential accounts. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 11:29, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I reviewed this again as part of the clerk training process, and their post-endorse edits, plus an additional commonality that I noticed, leave no doubt in my mind; Grassium is hence to prevent further disruption. Hope you don't mind, .  --Blablubbs (talk) 18:22, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Some of the first edits of this "brand new" account were to use their talk page to write an message referencing blane2020 which seems to be a mixture of a confession and an apology ? Very odd thing for a "new" user to know about an account that was globally locked years ago. Their remaining edits mostly consist of rather poor attempts at vandal fighting and leaving talk page messages in incomprehensible broken English, which matches the behaviour of previous socks well. These template creations as a second and third edit also suggest to me that this account is a repeat customer. 192.76.8.88 (talk) 19:20, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

 * It's possible. The geolocation seems approximately correct.  It's the same person as, at least.  Already blocked, so closing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:15, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
