Group of accounts with a collective fixation on the family of Alan Menken.
 * Emma 1984 created articles on Alan's wife Janis Roswick-Menken (deleted by blp-prod), daughter Nora Menken (A7-speedied), and daughter Anna Rose Menken plus articles on Anna's albums (the group of which I plan to send to AfD soon).
 * Mia1231980 created Janis Roswick (since merged into Janis Menken, and A Dancer's Life on a documentary film apparently featuring a young Ms. Roswick.
 * LilyLiam31 created Janis Menken (currently at AfD), Nora Menken (A7-speedied again), William Richert's A Dancer's Life (film documentary 1972) (redundant with A Dancer's Life and now a redirect to that article), Anna Menken (redundant with Anna Rose Menken and now a redirect to that article) and, curiously, Disney's The Unexpected Person, which was an utter hoax and speedied as such. Currently serving her second block for disruptive editing, including but not limited to repeatedly removing the AfD tag from the Janis Menken article.
 * SashaMoe1972 was created after LilyLiam1972's most recent block and so far has contributed unsourced/hoax material to the Janis Menken article and created hoax article In The Research of Path of Life (film 1981).

Requesting CheckUser to check for further socks.

I'll also note here that LilyLiam31 was accused in the Janis Menken AfD of being a sock of banned longtime sockmaster User:Jvolkblum. As I'm not familiar with that case, I didn't want to formally connect this SPI with the earlier one, so I'll leave that call to those more conversant with Jvolkblum's history. -- Finngall  talk  00:32, 29 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Update: While I was composing this, LilyLiam31 and SashaMoe1972 were indef-blocked by Bbb23 for the obvious sockpuppetry between those two accounts. -- Finngall   talk  00:37, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅:
 * is, but despite no edits since January 2015, I will block based on behavior.
 * I'm not familiar with Sockpuppet investigations/Jvolkblum. However, glancing at it, which isn't easy considering its length, the Menken article doesn't look the type that would have been created by Jvolkblum or socks. My sense is that the Jvolkblum articles revolved around neighborhoods of New Rochelle and trivial issues, rather than a person who is posssibly notable but was born in New Rochelle. Based on a quick CU, the Emma accounts are ❌ to Jvolkblum's socks.
 * I will block, tag, and adjust tags in accordance with my findings above shortly. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:34, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

New sock behaving similarly to previous socks--created hoax article Disney's The Secret (film 1990) and apparently did unconstructive editing on Janis Menken (since deleted at AfD--I didn't see the precise nature of the edit(s)). -- Finngall  talk  22:37, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Loud quacking; recreated Janis Menken, edited A Dancer's Life and created hoax articles Disney's The Madness of The Golden Globes: 49th Annual of Madness (1992 film) and Welcome Home, Loser (TV series), all in line with behavior of previous socks. -- Finngall  talk  21:04, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Quack, quack. Added link to hoax film "In The Research of Path of Life (1981 film)" to the Alan Menken article--a previous sock tried to create an article on this nonexistent film. Asking for checkuser to check for sleepers. -- Finngall  talk  17:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Usernames of a similar format to JaniceBermanSTAFFWRITER, all of which have edited Alan Menken and/or A Dancer's Life and little or nothing else. Edits from these accounts are not so abusive as previously-reported socks, so I hesitated to report until they grew in quantity. The ElizabethSporkin account is already blocked as an impersonation of a real person. -- Finngall  talk  22:44, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

 * .&#32;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.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  20:44, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

More quacking on the Alan Menken article--added link to nonexistent movie "In the Research of Path of Life (1981 film)" in the manner of previous socks (diff). Please CU to check for sleepers. -- Finngall  talk  22:41, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

 * - Plase, compare this account to previous socks (See: vs. ) and check for sleepers.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  00:36, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * This all has to do with time lapse. IMDbCreativeGroup is  to the master and a bit more to, who, in turn, is a bit more  to the master.  It's a straight shot back to June 29, 2015, when the master wasn't stale, and I first checked.  Nothing has changed in terms of these recent accounts except characteristics that typically change over time.  All the other technical characteristics are identical.
 * I've blocked IMDbCreativeGroup. The account may be tagged as confirmed, proven, or suspected, it’s not terribly important. JaniceBermanSTAFFWRITER’s tag may be left alone or adjusted. My only preference is the tags for both accounts be the same.
 * I also found two other accounts that are of course to the master but also ✅ from JaniceBermanSTAFFWRITER:
 * Blocked without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Tagging all as proven socks and closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:02, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
