The sockmaster was blocked today (25 July) for 3 months for disruptive editing, (who also blocked for 1 week from 4 July additional comment added on 21:26, 25 July 2018 (UTC) ), more specifically blanking the content without giving valid reason. The two ips were emerged on the same article 2034 FIFA World Cup immediately after the block, thus i believed that the ips were his socks to evade the block. Matthew_hk  t  c  20:57, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Using, added 8 more potential ip sock that had same interest on 2030 FIFA World Cup, FIFA World Cup hosts, Morocco 2030 FIFA World Cup bid. Matthew_hk   t  c  21:07, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * More on behavioral evidence, on top of the first two ips which were active after the 3 months block, some ips were only active on the 1 week block of the sockmaster. Matthew_hk   t  c  23:53, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * add one more ip. Matthew_hk   t  c  18:36, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Despite the alleged sock was created before alleged sockmaster's temp block in July (twice), it seem it was in fact it was used as block evasion. Despite both accounts were not blocked currently, the accounts still used as disruptive editing. Both accounts were involved in disruptive editing of 2034 FIFA World Cup, as well as content fork 2030 FIFA World Cup as United Kingdom 2030 FIFA World Cup bid, Morocco–Spain–Portugal 2030 FIFA World Cup bid and 2030 and 2034 FIFA World Cup bids. Also, the two accounts also involved in removing content "AS Monaco FC B team" from infobox in Kylian Mbappé (Special:Diff/868945375 and Special:Diff/869961560) Matthew hk (talk) 14:18, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

 * same geolocation and ISP, and on the same (wide) range. The new account is on a different device., since you handled the last case, you may be interested in this one. Also, whenever this is done, can someone ask a clerk to merge the cases :) Thanks. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:41, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

This filing is for the record only, no checkuser needed. Range vandal has been blocked, DDDDYYYYYLLLAAN has been blocked, and DHDHCHDKAK has been blocked. Unblocked is from the same area as the others and from the same IP group as  which was blocked three months ago with a note about long term abuse. Another Florida IP that was making similar edits was . All of these IPs and accounts are focused on Latin trap, including attempts to establish a sub-genre of trapeton, which is simply a Spanish term for Latin trap, so it doesn't need its own article and categories. Similar sock edits can be seen in this sequence targeting the redirect to Latin R&B: Another series of sock edits can be seen inserting controversies in the Latin trap article:  Binksternet (talk) 18:27, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Checkuser requested to confirm. DYLUDULU was created recently and immediately started doing the the same things as previous sock of DB Dilan Brechero and the IPs of the range Special:Contributions/2601:582:C180:39A0:0:0:0:0/64. Two identical edit requests, one from a blocked sock and one from DYLUDULU. Persistent block evasion by this person. Binksternet (talk) 07:26, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

SDFGH10295 recreated several deleted articles (Cachengue and Argentine trap) that had previously been created by DB Dilan Brechero and socks. I reverted almost all of the new additions. IP 181.167.65.174 came in behind me to undo my work.

All of the previous accounts are stale, but checkuser requested to see if SDFGH10295 comes from the same IP area. Binksternet (talk) 21:16, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged the named account. Because I'm not a clerk, I will not decline the CU request, but it should be declined based on what the filer wants. The IP is undoubtedly a sock, but I'll leave that for a clerk as well. The IP may be stale by the time a clerk has time to address this. Bbb23 (talk) 23:11, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * - as noted by Bbb23 above, CUs cannot link IPs to accounts (even if that's just does this account come from the same location as this IP). Doing so would provide information which could narrow down the possible places an account could be from. For example, if the account is in the same area as this IP it can be determined that they are in that area for sure. In the reverse situation, you then know that they are not from that area.

Recreated two pages previously created by DB Dilan Brechero socks: Cachengue + DJBii. Username is also similar to prior sock in that it consists of a keyboard sequence with a bunch of random numbers at the end. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:53, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

QLR123 created a hoax music genre article at RKT music and added it to Template:Music in Spanish. This is the same behavior as past socks such as Xcvbnm110 creating Cachengue last year at this time.

No checkuser possible because of too much elapsed time. Binksternet (talk) 01:30, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Adding Florida IP 159.250.110.7 which helped flesh out the RKT hoax. The puppetmaster has used many Florida IPs in the past. Binksternet (talk) 04:27, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
