Sockmaster used this IP a few weeks ago to edit on The Amazing World of Gumball (season 4). Ip just edited on that page restoring the prodcode stuff. Behavior is same as before: unsourced info and addition of TBA in tables.

Pinging since they've dealt with this user extensively.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 03:02, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It seems pretty clear to me. Three characteristics of the master are here: 1) poor English 2) the idiosyncratic phrase "pulled up" and, most obvious, 3) the edit summary "Stop unsourced them!!!!!!!!!!!". - Sum mer PhD v2.0 03:34, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Both master and sock like to edit on cartoon pages, adding unsourced information about airdates.

Notice that Colinmiller13 reacts in a similar way to warnings on talk page, namely yelling in all caps. 

Colinmiller13 made edits that a now-blocked IP that was previously reported on this SPI restored minutes after they were undone. Colin IP

Latest iteration of this user, with the same pattern of unsourced edits to TV shows, although edits are not uniformly unsourced. In particular the relationship to the blocked account is obvious, even down to the the "CM" in the username. For example, note this edit by Colinmiller13, then a similar edit to the same entry by CMSabresFan roughly a month later, including the same misspelling of "scrapped." The less-than-encyclopedic word "gonna" also appears in these edits, and in other edits from both users (Colinmiller13, CMSabresFan).

The Editor Interaction tool shows 16 entries in common between these two users, mostly TV shows, but also including overlap that is less likely among unrelated users such as edits to West Seneca Central School District, note CMSabresFan's edit and a similar one from Colinmiller13.

 * I have blocked this IP address for block evasion and vandalism. In view of the long time for which this IP address has clearly been used by one persistent vandal, I have blocked it for 6 months; I even considered blocking for a year, but decided against it.

Same static IP as previous socks. Same strange claim to have "closed" the named account:  Waited out a 6 month block and immediately resumed the same type of unsourced edits to kids' topics:    (and many more).

Pinging user:JamesBWatson because of his comment at the last close

It appears that this case should have been merged into Sockpuppet investigations/Chase2na since Colinmiller13 is a sock of Chase2na. I'm leaving this new report here since it is the same IP as the previous two reports. Meters (talk) 02:03, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Yes, as Meters says, clearly the same person as the previous edits from this IP address, and since that person has admitted to being Colinmiller13, that's an end to it. I have blocked the IP address, this time for far longer. Perhaps a clerk can decide whether to merge the case to Sockpuppet investigations/Chase2na, as Meters suggests.
