 * Already checked; I saw no connection. Drmies (talk) 14:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, although their edit history does seem highly suspicious, including . Barry Wom (talk) 14:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah ok, there was movement (literally), and they're now confirmed and blocked. User:Barry Wom was right! Drmies (talk) 15:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, before I forget--the "original" sockmaster is User:Chatterleybuns958. Drmies (talk) 16:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

 * - I've blocked Desanimade without tags. Please move the case to Desanimade as they are older than the previous master. All accounts should then be tagged as confirmed except Desanimade. Pinging as a courtesy in case they wish to check Desanimade. Bbb23 (talk) 13:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, shoot,, I didn't see you purposely didn't tag them. Sorry. No, I didn't check them--who cares at this point. It may well be a sock, rather than meat, given the poor quality of their writing, but it's all beside the point. I SALTed the articles they created. See you at the next one, I suppose.

 * For the sake of completeness, the following are ✅:

 * Blocked and tagged. Spicy (talk) 22:40, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Erm, hold on a moment. Obviously RubyGillman and Rubygillman722 are the same person. But above, said RubyGillman was ❌ to Desanimade, while  blocked and tagged them as confirmed to Desanimade. What's going on here? Spicy (talk) 22:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * According to the CU data, the link between RubyGillman and Rubygillman722 using CU evidence is not as clear cut. I wouldn't call the link unrelated, but maybe more unlikely. My feeling is that either some proxy use was going on that isn't being indicated by bullseye (which would make the difference in CU data explainable), or that this sockmaster saw the previous report and made a new account in an attempt to get that account ignored as being the similar to the unrelated account.

 * RubyGillman is currently tagged as "confirmed by a CheckUser" and is also blocked using checkuserblock-account. I'm assuming that was a mistake and that we should have used "suspected" instead. My two cents is that, given the lack of a technical match, there is not enough evidence to block RubyGillman, which is why I originally closed that case without action. The only behavioral overlap is interest in the movie Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, which two separate people could be interested in. It is true that, in addition to the username similarity, both the sockmaster and RubyGillman have tried to add content speculating about a sequel:, but I would point out that several other users have apparently been edit-warring over this same content , so this isn't a big smoking gun to me. My personal feeling is that the RubyGillman account is somebody else and that the behavioral similarities are coincidental. (To be clear, the Rubygillman722 account is definitely Desanimade based on both behavioral and technical evidence.) Mz7 (talk) 03:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I see what has happened. I tried to block the account in this report, but SPI helper preselects the most recent report. I then used the form for the wrong case and then blocked without noticing the difference.
 * I'll unblock the above account. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 08:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Dreamy Jazz. Closing this case now. Mz7 (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
