New editor immediately continues unhelpful GA review like. Admits his user name backwards is "loose on vandal" because our community continually AGFs. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 14:36, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

 * ( original case name)

New editor creates account less than 30 hours after most recent socks of Eliuke (including Ladnav no esool) were given indef blocks, posts to WT:GAN the following day hoping to be a co-reviewer at GAN, and despite being told there that they shouldn't be reviewing or co-reviewing as a new Wikipedian (see WP:GAN), reopens same GA review (Talk:Binary search tree/GA3) that Ladnav no esool had opened and was subsequently deleted. (The socks had also opened an earlier review iteration, Talk:Binary search tree/GA2.)

Note: as I was working on this, having posted to the GAN talk page that I was going to request a check user as notification, they posted to have their review deleted, which has already been done, but I think the check should still be made. Up to you, of course. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:00, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Further evidence: both Finnish Idea and a prior Eliuke sockpuppet, Ewdqwdq, have edited Indiana Pacers, and also Talk:Los Angeles Lakers; Ewdqwdq also edited the Lakers' article. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:15, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks. -  pretty obvious socking but worth a check for others as there were several accounts last time. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 14:12, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Though this editor is already blocked, it is obvious they are a sock of User:Eluike and should be connected to that user's SPI - see Sockpuppet investigations/Eluike/Archive, evidence is their editing history, filter log, etc. Shearonink (talk) 22:16, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Pro-forma. There are WP:BEANS reasons to believe this is a sockpuppet of ThatChemist25. Additionally, the only edits so far are to an article targeted by ThatChemist25. Yamla (talk) 23:33, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Additionally, there's a separate group here, likely unrelated to the first group:
 * I'm not going to block these as, plausibly, this is a couple of classmates doing routine middle-school vandalism. I say that based on the edits, I'm not implying the IP address they are editing from is a middle school. --Yamla (talk) 23:38, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Same pattern of ThatChemist25: performs incomplete GA reviews like Talk:Maurice_Duplessis/GA1 and Talk:Arithmetic/GA1. Both ThatChemist25 and History6042 started a GA review of Arithmetic. In relation to that review (Talk:Arithmetic/GA1), the pattern is almost identical. The user first creates a GA page by checking all the checkbox without including any review text. When I prompted them about this on their talk page (User_talk:ThatChemist25 and User_talk:History6042), they respond "will do" and add a few minor lines to the review. For the current review, see. The review by ThatChemist25 got deleted when they were exposed as a sockpuppet so I cannot add any diffs but an admin with access to the deleted page should be able to confirm the similarity.

I'll ping since they were already involved in the previous case with ThatChemist25. Phlsph7 (talk) 18:07, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
