Suspected sockpuppets
All editors display the same editing patterns of behaviours, as well as a varying use of excuses for the same kind of edits. One or more may be connected to each other.

Dashmax1214plus:
 * Fixed grammatical errors and sourcing of singles to the set list. All non-singles shouldn't be sourced.
 * Only singles must be paged on this set list
 * changes to the format due to it being incorrect
 * Added page links to released singles only
 * Only singles must be linked to a page

37.76.53.41:
 * style, links
 * Don’t use superlatives such as ‘critical acclaim’ unless there is a source explicitly stating that

Wikimixer2022:
 * i added the attendance and Box Office of each show, data is from @touringdata on twitter which is a very accurate and reliable source. ("Touring Data" is not a reliable source).
 * touringdata is reliable, all sources have social media. stop removing reliable information or i will report you.

94.44.234.142:
 * Again, stop using unsourced superlatives (“widespread critical acclaim”) and don’t remove links and formatting from the setlist. Just because song titkes have already been linked before in the article, the set list should include all their links, same way as literally every article with a set list or tracklist does the exact the same thing.
 * fix

This feels like a major case of if it quacks like a duck or looks like a duck, then it must be a duck.  livelikemusic   ( TALK! ) 14:50, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

 * - to check the two named accounts. They intersect on only one article. Not quite enough evidence to block without confirmation. Bbb23 (talk) 00:25, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The named accounts are looking different, from a technical perspective. They are each quite stable, one of them consistently a stable IPv4 IP, the other consistently using a single IPv6 /64 range. They are in the same country as each other, but there are no other similarities. I'll add that neither account has edited from either of the listed IPs, and they don't geolocate to the same country as the IPs. Hope that helps.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:00, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Based on the CU results, I'm closing this with no action. Bbb23 (talk) 13:19, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

WP:DUCK Username is the exact same, minus the "Plus" and the numbers are different. Targeting The Confetti Tour with the same edits main user has been performing since April 2022.


 * Dashmax1215 – 1 vs. Dashmax1214plus – 1 2 3, 4 5 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 — all from April 9 to April 24, 2022. Subsequent edits from April to December 2022 exist. Both myself and an Admin attempted to reach out and talk to this user, to which they have continued to ignore for the better part of the year, continuing their abusive editing pattern.  livelikemusic   ( TALK! ) 00:50, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

New user has immediately begun editing the same articles as the original host, and is mirroring the same edits, which is what caused them to receive their original block from Wikipedia. This is user's second sock account in less than one-calendar year. All edits also use the same tags: "Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit"
