Suspected sockpuppets
Camana2 was blocked on 20 January, Acamar5 was created the 22nd. Not only their username, but also their userpage is very similar. Their first edit was to Draft:Film Café, which was created by Camana2. Their other edits, mainly to French TV channels, are very similar as well, and hardly helpful. So far they haven't started creating outright hoaxes, like Camana did, but it wouldn't be smart to wait until then probably... Fram (talk) 08:26, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Account created 2 weeks after block of previous sock, immediately starts creating articles on TV stations and multiple bizarre AFD pages like Articles for deletion/Kineko (5th nomination) (no nom 1 to 4 could be found, and they don't want to delete it anyway), Articles for deletion/Okoo (1st nomination) and Articles for deletion/Disney XD (Spanish TV channel). They also created Fox (European TV Channel) with fake dates in the tags, but the most obvious link to Camana is the move of Film Cafe to mainspace (with a slightly different title to the previous Film Café), a creation of Camana2 which was moved to draftspace. Even in the unlikely event that they are not a sock, they clearly have severe WP:CIR issues and should be blocked anyway. Fram (talk) 09:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

And while I was writing this, they also moved Tom & Jerry : Chase, created by a previous sock, to the mainspace. Which removes all doubt about whether they are a sock or not... Fram (talk) 09:09, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Added Sopresa as another suspected sock, recently created, also edited Film Cafe, and one of their drafts, Tom & Jerry : Mouse Maze (also on Tom & Jerry) was moved to the mainspace by Oliverangé. Fram (talk) 09:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

@Courcelles, I of course can't comment on the checkuser evidence, but edits are 100% clear that they are another sock, who was with their second edit already editing Draft:Télétoon+, a draft created by a previous sock. See also their preoccupation, next to obscure TV stations and their logos, with Oggy and the Cockroaches, asking for unprotection on the 10th and then Oliverangé removing the protection template today.

From a technical perspective,. Also look at when dealing with behavioral analysis. Courcelles (talk) 14:19, 16 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I’m pretty convinced on the Oliver account, but am moving through workflow for another set of eyes on Sopresa. Courcelles (talk) 14:25, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, @Fram. You might notice the sea of redlinks your comments have become. G5s applied liberally, blocked and tagged. Courcelles (talk) 14:57, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

 * ( original case name)

Continued campaign by this user (who I suspect has had more socks in the past) to assert that Universal Kids has never existed and that its successor, Sprout still continues to exist today and trying to use pagemoves and redirects to assert their one-person sham. Inexplicably restored the article to its pre-UK transition state, then nominated it for deletion (NACed as disruption by myself); they also threw a nonsense draft up at Draft:Universal Kids (TV channel), which makes up three of their four edits. to me.

Piwipie's first edits were to at Piwi+ with an immediate AfD, a trait past socks have shared. They also to Télétoon+ (itself a frequent interest of past socks) that were uploaded to Commons by  and, both of which are already in the archive here. (I already figured something was up when they edited on Acamar5's talk page that  to begin with. And given some recent socks' cat-themed names,  may be of interest as well.) I was going to report Piwipie alone, but in Teletoon+'s revision history I also found a similar (if half-baked here)  by OllieE2a, a very similar username to prior sock.
