Suspected sockpuppets
This user appears to match a behavioral pattern of the master and socks. The master and a prior sock  have made one very specific edit at Poot. After the master and sock were each blocked, this account (created in early November 2023) emerged from dormancy and began to make several 1 byte edits to game autoconfirmed. After this, the user made disruptive edits to Poot in the same way that the master and prior sock have.

I am requesting a CheckUser take a look because this history of this account indicates the presence of sleepers that would be non-stale (this sock, and, were both created in the past 3 months). I think it is reasonable to suspect that more such sleepers may exist. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 20:43, 12 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Out of curiosity, did pop up in your search? They're currently blocked as a sock of Blobbery, so I'd be interested to see if their username occurred at all. —  Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 23:12, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * With respect to Leviblack12, their upload of c:File:Maths252.jpg indicates to me that one of the ranges may include a school (though I don't know if this was the overlapping range that led you to finding the account). It would be unsurprising to me if a bunch of high schoolers got together to troll Wikipedia at recess (or if one student just keeps doing it on different devices). — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 23:15, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Doing a little digging, I found that the district is assigned 209.237.105.0/24. I noticed this diff, which is the same response that that Pseudonym lastname and Skibidi Toilet 69420 gave after being blocked. There might be a long-term disruptive editor in the range. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 23:23, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Pseudonym is very to Blobbery and I have tagged them. I found  but I have cause to believe that they are operating on a high-volume range. I'm leaning towards a block for Lil Jonjo and no action on Leviblack12, but want to ping  for a second opinion – I suspect that there is some meatpuppetry going on.

 * Skibidi Toilet did come up, and I would consider them very likely to Pseudonym and Blobbery. I didn't see any sleepers specifically related to that account. I don't think I can say much for the rest of your comments, sorry, though I think that I can say that there are some other accounts that came up that I don't believe are related behaviourally. With the limitations of CheckUser, I can't look that far back: my personal instinct is that these are relatively recent. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * To be honest I'm not sure this needed SPI in the first place - trivially disruptive accounts like this can just be blocked on their own merit and forgotten about. As we're here - there are various behavioural and technical indicators that this is one or more kids messing about rather than any kind of serious attempt at abuse of multiple accounts. I wouldn't block either of the other accounts unless they actually start being disruptive, as I'm not confident they're related to the ones messing about at Poot on technical evidence alone. firefly  ( t · c ) 12:01, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with a lot of what Firefly said (thanks). Case closed. Sdrqaz (talk) 15:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
