I didn't see an existing SPI case for this user, so forgive me if this is not the correct user title (an en.wiki CU has apparently already been done per Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Chris M Pattinson) . LosAngeles007  is confirmed on Commons (I am a CU there) - see Commons Category:Sockpuppets of Chris M Pattinson. On en.wiki, edits to articles of same actresses as other accounts (e.g., ). Requesting CU to check for sleepers (e.g., some previous socks,, used only on en.wiki and not Commons, so my CU wouldn't have caught them) - may also want to consider range/IP blocks.

 * Here's a chain of public information:
 * 85.255.236.248 adds image uploaded by  to Sheridan Smith, which is edited by


 * 148.252.128.21 adds image uploaded by  to Emily Hawgood, which is edited by
 * I find en.wiki SPIs hopelessly convoluted; if you need something different, please be specific. I can also forward you the Commons CU results if you disbelieve me. This seems like it would be quacking to you.   Эlcobbola  talk 20:40, 28 December 2016 (UTC)


 * here's another chain:


 * requests undeletion of Kate Marie Davies, pictures of whom have been uploaded by
 * Convolution is not meant as a comment on you, but as a serious note. I routinely do not report socks active on en.wiki, whom I've confirmed on the Commons, for this reason; it requires genuinely unreasonable time and effort, and expectations are either not clear or, again, unreasonable - that the initial request above was inadequate is an excellent example.  Something to consider.  Эlcobbola  talk 20:56, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't see any diffs of the master or their socks showing the connection with the alleged puppet.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:25, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

I believe this is a case of block evasion and undisclosed paid editing. In short, LosAngeles007 and ChrisMark1928 have too-remarkable a shared interest in writing about the small number of actresses and musicians connected to PR company CMP (Chris M Pattinson) Productions (and only those topics) for it to be a coincidence, or for it not to be their job. -- Worldbruce (talk) 01:26, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
 * 1)  began editing on 16 January 2017, three weeks after  and others were blocked as sockpuppets of.
 * 2) Sheridan Smith is one of only three articles edited by LosAngeles007 . ChrisMarks1928 has only edited five articles, but Sheridan Smith happens to be one of them.
 * 3) LosAngeles007 requested the undeletion of Kate Marie Davies . The significance of this is that off-wiki she is linked from CMP (Chris M Pattinson) Productions, a "Productions Entertainment & Marketing Company", in a way that implies she is a client.
 * 4) Three of the four remaining articles edited by ChrisMarks1928 also have off-wiki ties to CMP Productions:
 * 5) * Lydia Ansel - linked from CMP Productions, in a way that implies she is a client, also linked from what claims to be the company's Facebook page  on 22 November 2016 and other dates
 * 6) * Twinnie-Lee Moore - linked from CMP Productions, in a way that implies she is a client, also linked from what claims to be the company's Facebook page  on 12 January 2017
 * 7) * Jenny Gayner - linked from CMP Productions Facebook page on 16 February 2017, with encouragement to check out her "new Wikipedia"

MarkLondon has created a very similar copy of Lydia Ansel as past socks, however there are several idiosyncratic behaviors shared here, such as apparently being unable to start a new line when responding as seen here on ML's talk page and here on past socks talk page.

It appears past accounts, such as this one, also with Mark in the name, as well as ML60 both sign their edit summaries.

There are a lot of language similarities too and there's a bit of off-wiki evidence that I can e-mail should it be needed but I feel there's enough evidence here. Praxidicae (talk) 23:12, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Also ML60 created Jenny Fitzpatrick, which a previous sock, ChrisMarks1928 uploaded to commons here and Draft:Jenny Fitzpatrick. Praxidicae (talk) 23:26, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

 * This is at least to the checkuser logs. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 23:30, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I would have blocked MarkLondon for UPE even if they didn't match a known sockmaster. Based on behavioral similarities, shared interests in specific not-terribly-notable people, L235's comment above, and a few other peculiarities I'd rather not get into per BEANS, I am fairly confident this is a sock.
