The edits of Mumbojumbo1000 and Noreverts are solely concerned with editing Doctor (Doctor Who) and Coronation Street character bios, similar to the activities of Drwho16 and confirmed sockpuppets. Much of the activity of all these users at Doctor (Doctor Who) concerns adding mention of guest star John Hurt into lists of series leads against established consensus, something that Slogadog is currently engaged in an edit war over. Normally I wouldn't suspect but then Noreverts weighed in, mid-war and I noticed an existing accusation of being Mumbojumbo1000 on his talk page. Rubiscous (talk) 18:01, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

User:Mumbojumbo1000 was blocked as a sockpuppet of this user last week. They have returned with the above account to Coronation Street articles. Oh and Coronationstreetfan16 and Drwho16. Like proven socks before User:Mumbojumbo1000 and User:Noreverts - Their main aim is to create an article for Rob Donovan and Beth Tinker. It quacks! They have laid off Doctor Who articles - but considering the last round of SPI focused on Doctor Who articles (Coronation Street ones second) as the main reason of evidence. They probably did not want to attract their attention. But I have dealt with this user numerous times and they are back with yet another new account - so reported.

 * Given the similarities between edits by Coronationstreetfan16 here and here with edits by the last blocked sock here and here, I'm endorsing this for checkuser attention. Mark Arsten (talk) 02:40, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No account overlap on IPs, but the ranges are all the same. Keegan (talk) 04:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

A couple of hours after Coronationstreetfan16 was blocked, Cdogg1000 showed up on my talk page to ask about working on two Coronation Street articles Rob Donovan and Jenna Kamara. Those articles had previously been created and worked on by other Drwho16 socks. I also noticed that Cdogg1000 had edited User:Raintheone's talk page archive, seemingly continuing a discussion between him and Coronationstreetfan16:. Cdogg1000 also uses 1000 in their username like Mumbojumbo1000. – JuneGloom    Talk  15:12, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Back again. After User:Cdogg1000 was blocked on the 10th, Lightbulblightbulb popped up yesterday and has recreated the two Coronation Street articles mentioned above. They have a similar editing pattern to the previous socks, including starting sandboxes for the characters: and. They have also edited this Articles for Creation draft, created by previous sock User:Coronationstreetfan16:. Would it be possible to put some kind of protection on the articles to stop them from being recreated by the socks? – JuneGloom    Talk  15:03, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Just found User:Tabletoppertabletopper too. They tried recreating the Jenna Kamara article yesterday. – JuneGloom    Talk  15:06, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Same pattern of editing behavior: Almost exclusive focus on television series including Doctor Who, other British series, and other genre series. Elaborate user sandboxes. Rapid-fire edits to articles, often focusing on tables and to a lesser extent infoboxes: six here, three here, three here, nine here, three here, three spread out over here, here, and here. Demands that others stop edit warring and use the talk page, while (of course) edit warring and not using the talk page:,  , ,. OWNy reverts with summary "unnecessary" or similar:, , , , ,. Both accounts are active at all times of day, but never at the same time, and sometimes activity of one will start suddenly just as the other has stopped, indicating sock-switching; see 27 October for example.

I don't understand what this investigation is about, I have only one account which is 13thDoctor93 (in which I access this on my desktop computer, my macbook pro, my mobile and my iPad). 13thDoctor93 (talk) 14:12, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
