Possible good-hand/bad-hand editing, as the suspected sockmaster seems to have been a (mostly) constructive contributor since 2012. Each account or IP will restore one of the other's edits. For example, Sockmaster, IP, sockmaster, IP, Sock #1, Sock #2, IP. There's evidence that the sockmaster may be a reincarnation of a much older vandal, but that account is long stale.

 * is another possible sock that was created soon after . The behaviour is comparable based on the similarity in the edits: by D is for Death! and  by Cassini Grand Finale. The naming of the account is a bit off as compared to some of the recent socks since it does not have a distinct alliteration, which is why I am unsure of a clear link between them.

Suspected sockpuppets
This and this edit at TR are about the same entry. A look at the contributions shows significant overlap in pages edited. All their edits but one have been reverted, and both have been blocked.

I reported this because where there is one sock, there may be or come more. Paradoctor (talk) 20:07, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Both have been blocked as suspected socks of DeepNikita. Merged this report to that case. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 22:36, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ran CU on both. No additional accounts seen, but confirmed to recent suspected socks of DeepNikita. Tags that are currently used should be fine. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 22:42, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Both IPs edit dab page with the intent to unproductively add entries to dab pages, such as Memorial Day at MD. The IPs are from the same metropolitan area as the IPs already confirmed to be socks (edit - such as those from the 24 March 2018 investigation). Thank you.

These users both edit dab pages (such as MD), adding entries about Memorial Day. NotReallySoroka (talk) 09:01, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
