dung247 has a long history of edits against guidelines, particularly WP:NOTRADIOGUIDE, on a large number of radio station articles - particularly those with news/talk formats. (Along with the many edits to articles s/he created a very-much-related article, Radio stations stop all-news, which has since been RFDd.)

On 2016-04-18T21:33:01‎ dung247 received a 31-hour block for disruptive editing. (Note that numerous comments had been made at dung's talk page about the guidelines and responses from dung were very very infrequent, but the edits continued.) This expired at 2016-04-20T04:33:01.

At 2016-04-20T10:43:32, new account 24hrnewsweathertraffic appeared and has been making a similar barrage of edits to similar articles. dung247 was particularly fond of - bordering on obsession - updating the "slogan" field of radio stations' infoboxes. 24hrnewsweathertraffic has continued that pattern, editing many of the same articles previously done by dung247. Here are some examples of edits to the same article by both accounts:


 * At WRCN-FM: dung247's edit, 24hr's edit
 * At WGY (AM): dung247's edit, 24hr's edit
 * At KXL-FM: dung247's edit, 24hr's edit
 * At KOGO (AM): dung247's edit, 24hr's edit
 * At WWBA: dung247's edit, 24hr's edit
 * At WBZ (AM): dung247's edit, 24hr's edit
 * At KMBZ-FM: dung247's edit, 24hr's edit

...etc. These were by no means difficult to find; at least half of the recent edits by 24hrnewsweathertraffic were to articles previously edited by dung247, and often of the same thing (the slogan field).

Although not used in violation of a block (since dung247's block expired about 6 hours before 24hrEtc.'s first edit) the 24hrnewsweathertraffic account still violates the "one person, one account" rule, likely to try to avoid scrutiny re. their previous editing problems and block. i.e. they're trying for a fresh start. (Or maybe they just don't realize the previous block has been lifted?)

Most of the current crop of edits by 24HrEtc. are only mildly problematic, but they are all trivia and all I've checked have been completely unsourced. And with no edit summaries. Just like dung247's.

dung's talk page shows a long history of ignored comments and 24hrnewsweathertraffic is following that pattern as well.

Requesting a checkuser in case this is not enough evidence for a decision based in WP:DUCK. Jeh (talk) 07:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

I am AllNewsKCBS. I'm so sorry because I didn't think about it. Now, I promise that I will never repeat it again (except some special paragraphs).

Yet another spate of the same sorts of WP:NOTRADIOGUIDE edits and additions of purely trivial fancrud to radio station and TV articles as in his "root" account and the previous two (three?) socks. The history of many of these includes recent edits by Dung247. For example: WFLA (AM), KRIV (TV), WOFL, WBFF, KTVU, KCTV. Jeh (talk) 07:14, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
