Same pattern of disruptive and/or unsourced edits on List of Law & Order episodes, List of Criminal Minds episodes, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Similar writing styles on user pages as well. Davejohnsan (talk) 16:35, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, this is the first time I have submitted a sockpuppet report in months. Here are some identical edits between the two users.
 * On List of Criminal Minds episodes: first by Dk113040, then by Grove4Life -- You'll see that both accounts -- first Dk then Grove -- added in the same piece of unsourced information, with no explanation despite the revert of each edit.
 * On List of Law & Order episodes, Dk113040 has been making several, repeated changes to the color of each season, and despite several reverts from other users, he still has not opened any line of communication. Here is a revert I made of Dk's edits (see here) and one of Grove's edits (see here). You'll notice that the disputed edits are identical between both accounts, and as I mentioned neither one has opened any line of communication attempting to explain or justify said edits.
 * On Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 15), Dk added a piece of information that could not be verified by any reliable sources (see here). Less than seven hours after I reverted it, the Grove account reinstated the questionable edit.
 * Another thing I noticed that prompted me to open this report: The lack of overlap between these two accounts: Dk stopped editing on January 10 at 6:37pm PST, and at that point Grove started editing until January 11. Then it went back to DK. This is extremely circumstantial and is something I should have pointed out sooner, but I do want to make it clear that this was one of the main factors that prompted me to start this report. Thank you, Davejohnsan (talk) 16:37, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

 * In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Mark Arsten (talk) 21:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

 * is a ✅ sock account of . Given that the Grove4Life account was created after DK113040 received a final warning, and that he professes to be a different person on each user page ("Martin Rodriguez" vs. "John Perez"), there is an obvious intent to deceive and is therefore an illegitimate use of multiple accounts.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:47, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
