There may be others in this group as the whole history of articles like Miss Earth 2019 is full of similar redlink names but I won't ask for a fishing expedition there. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:37, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) WP:DUCK -- Same SPA nature of edits, same camelcase names.
 * 2) VelmaWaltz final edit was at Miss Earth2019#Contestants; MyrnaGlitch first edit was 18 hours later  same article, same section, adding a well-formatted complex reference, obviously not a new account
 * 3) VelmaWaltz <--> MythaWaltz obviously
 * 4) RubyGlam same SPA interests, also created in mid/late August like MythaWaltz
 * 5) Probable logged-out edits from web hosting services impsat.net.br; proxy 96.90.227.149
 * 6) Other behavioral similarities: all appear to have a mix of mobile and desktop edits, and virtually never use edit summaries
 * For reviewing admin/checkuser/whoever -- editor(s) are currently active at Miss World 2019, Miss Universe 2019 and Miss International 2019 and I'm really struggling trying to get some sense of normal editing established at the current beauty pageant related articles -- have asked for and received elevation at WP:RFPP in some cases. Your help is appreciated. -- Bri.public (talk) 21:15, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

The latest DB69 sock, LexiBeautyQueen, was blocked on 26 September. Their last edit was at Miss Earth 2020. An IP hopper on the Vodaphone Spain network started editing the same section of the same article in exactly the same way, a few hours later. In other words the IPs first edit is same day, at the same section of the same article as the blocked sock's last edit. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:18, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I've blocked it for 20 days. Seeing as was blocked for block evasion and was making similar edits to all the other IPs here, I would say these IPs are this sockmaster. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 17:04, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm relatively convinced that this range of IPs has been used by this sockmaster for a long period of time. From the edits, it seems this IP is really only used by the sockmaster (in regards to editing Wikipedia of course). So, I'm going to block this range for a month. Close.

Editing looks like one of the beauty pageant socks, and from the naming convention (CamelCase, frequent use of "Diamond", "Princess" and "Queen" in previous socks) DevilBlack69 seems to fit. As I said earlier in this SPI history Same general editing obsession on active beauty pageants, same behavioral traits including camelcase name, lack of edit summaries, mix of mobile and desktop edits. - Bri.public (talk) 19:17, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Here is a diff to show close or identical match in editing style, (lack of) edit summaries, article edited, and sources used - Bri.public (talk) 19:48, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking back at the confirmed socks, this sockfarm seems to prefer a single source which you can see again here in the oldest known actor's history too. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm sure that IvyBeautyQueen on es.wiki is also a sock. Plus they've done some logged-out editing 95.39.233.*, e.g. which range is also evident on enwiki, e.g.  ☆ Bri (talk) 01:38, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

 * It looks like RadyoUkay819 was mixed at some point with DevilBlack69? See, for example, Group 2 from the 26 September 2020 report. That group certainly seems related to MyrtaBeautyQueen, but it probably didn't belong to that case anyway.

LexiePixie's only edits are on articles the master has edited recently. One of them was to reinstate reverted edits of a blocked DB69 sock:

DanaDenson edits in exactly the same style on the same article as a confirmed sock, adding a country name to infobox (proably logged out immediately followed by logged-in edit), and unreferenced rows to contestants table:

 * I was already investigating LibbieBeautyQueen before I saw this SPI, and it's about as blatant a sockpuppet as I've seen for years, so I've blocked the account and deleted all its editing. Of the others, the only ones which have edited are, , & . I don't see enough in the rather small amount of editing from those accounts to prove sockpuppetry, though of course it's possible. However, in view of the history of this sockpuppeteer, which makes further sleepers likely, the fact that we have one definite new sockpuppet, and the fact that there are several more possible sockpuppets, I think a CheckUser investigation may be a good idea.

 * Is it even worth tagging these accounts anymore? They're so duckish they're caught before they even have a chance to edit in most cases.-- Ponyo bons mots 19:12, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * As obvious as these socks are, there will always be value in clearly linking a blocked sock to a particular case. You never know how someone previously unfamiliar with a given sockfarm will find it. Tagging and closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
