The IP created Talk:Dc Themmie with the edit summary "Unblock this user". Given this IP's similar nature to the other IP in this SPI, I think it's fair to say they're the same person. Sdrqaz (talk) 20:12, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

I have added a second IP address after they created the talk page again. Although they are not in the same range (at least to my untrained eyes), they appear to be within about seven minutes' drive of each other and are probably the same person. Sdrqaz (talk) 19:06, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

 * - as Dcthemmie001 was previously not found it is possible that there may be further accounts which are unblocked and thus may edit in the future. No documented sleeper use, but as no checks have been run this doesn't rule out sleeper use as it may be yet undetected. . Blocking Dcthemmie001 as it is possible that account may edit again, especially if this sockmaster was editing it's sandbox (as they obviously remember it's existence). Tagged both as proven.

 * may also be related per it's edits, but it may be another person connected to this sockmaster who is also promoting. It would be good for a checkuser to check this user to the other socks in this case. Dreamy <i style="color:#d00">Jazz</i> talk to me &#124; my contributions 21:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

 * It's that  and  are the same person, ranges are a bit ick though. . Heck of a lot of x-over with other accounts but there's some technically deceptive things going on.  seems ❌ to this case, however they are ✅ to  if someone wants to file a SPI?

created in August 2020 and blocked & locked in July 2021 for spamming. There were a couple of bogus unblock requests from various IPs, and the account was globally locked for cross-wiki spamming. created October 2021, makes 14 edits, then moves DC's userpage to a new name, edits the Category talkpage for socks of DC Themmie, and admits being a sock.

 * . Obvious sock is obvious. They've got a history of having a couple of accounts at a time and there's not been a sock for a while, so a shake of the drawer to see what might fall out seems reasonable. : For a sleeper check please, acknowledging previous CUs have commented the ranges they edit from are tricky. --Jack Frost (talk) 13:06, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
