BigJim707 suddenly appears right after a bunch of accounts POV-Pushing pro-Moonie views have been blocked -- and after a gap of about 3 years and a few months. This account is clearly a sock -- the Editor Interaction Analyser proves it. Here's a link to it: http://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py?users=Redddogg&users=BigJim707&users=Borock&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki&allusers=on -- this clearly shows that BigJim707 is a sockpuppet. If you're wondering how it shows he's a sock, well, Borock, the master account, and BigJim707, the sock, have edited pretty much the same articles with the same POVs.

For Redddogg -- the account suddenly starts editing after a 6 year gap, largely editing Moonie-related articles, mainly the ones that BigJim707 had edited. The account has also edited Moonie articles in the past, before the six year gap. This is either SOCK or MEAT, in either case we shouldn't allow it. I would recommend a CheckUser to be done to hopefully smoke out any other accounts. 79.66.7.33 (talk) 21:18, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Wolfview is obviously a sock. Starts editing the same articles after a 6 year break? I find that hard to believe, could someone please CheckUser this obvious sock? Not to mention the Editor Interaction Analyser proves that this account is a sock. here is the proof: http://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py?users=Wolfview&users=BigJim707&users=Borock&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki&allusers=on 79.66.7.33 (talk) 16:22, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Redddogg and BigJim707 are ✅, and since BigJim707 is editing from the same IP address that Borock was using previously, I'm calling them both ✅. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 00:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

CalSteven has edited 5 articles that the most recently blocked Borock sock, Redddogg, has edited. Borock's socks share a common interest in brainwashing and NRMs -- and it is obvious that CalSteven does too. Also, he has prodded an article for deletion -- an article about a Moonie-critic. Borock's socks always supported the Moonies, and I presume that CalSteven is merely another account to do the same. Wolfview is more obvious -- after one of Borock's sockpuppets was blocked, he suddenly returned from a nearly six year break to edit Moonie/NRM related articles. Also, he has edited largely the same subjects Borock's socks have. 92.30.178.11 (talk) 16:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Borock is no longer . The two accounts are ✅. I've reblocked the master as a CU block based on the continuing deceit and their remarks at their Talk page. Tagged and closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:38, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I ran a check due to significant overlap with past Borock socks (plus similar writing styles) and their habit of using multiple accounts at once. PopSci and SpecInterest are ✅ to one another and their geolocation agrees with past Borock socks. . GeneralNotability (talk) 22:53, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
