. There's probably enough here to block based on behavior, but I'd like a confirmation. I believe the blocked account (I blocked them) left the comment on the filer's user page (I rev/del'd it because it was so gross) in retaliation for this report.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:19, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Checkuser Comments: Well, we seem to have two separate groups of socks here, and one has tried to identify itself with the other.

Sock Group 1 is ✅:

Sock Group 2 is, either as socks or meatpuppets. There are some technical variations, but the use of same IP addresses in repeated concurrent editing sessions makes me lean in this direction:

I'll leave it to the clerks to figure out how to archive this one. Risker (talk) 04:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I created Sockpuppet investigations/JACUBANHELADO for Group 1. I cross-referenced this report and copied and pasted in Risker's findings. I blocked, tagged, and closed the report.

A potential final sock of Engboy142; user recently uploaded an image depicting The Voice Youth, which is one of Engboy's previous socks on the site. User also exhibits some of the same editing style patterns the previous socks did and their obsession with music talent competition infoboxes. It may not be a sock, but their editing patterns and similarities are too close to question, especially given their block history for disruptive editing.


 * 1) Diff 1 (Along the line of this edit by Engboy142)
 * 2) The Voice Youth file  livelikemusic  my talk page! 18:26, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

This edit is in line with the other kind re-organizations that the sockpuppets did on articles pertaining to The Voice franchise. As for the file, it wasn't uploaded by any of the other users, but it matches the name of one of the sock's users. And it could connect to the main sock, if it does, that you filed yourself? What was it? Juan something? Like I said, this was all just a hunch because of their editing habits and the image they uploaded.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 21:55, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I as well, got a bit confused as to what you wanted. I apologise, let me try this again. This edit and this edit falls in line with the same kind of re-ordering one of the socks provided here, here and here. Captain also continues to add information such like this (they have been warned and blocked on the same edit prior), which Engboy142 did on one occasion prior. Also, the image's title relates to username "TheVoiceYouthSeries".  livelikemusic  my talk page! 22:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Captain returned immediately following Hunter's block and uploaded this image, which is mirrored of a deleted image Hunter uploaded, per the same rationale and title.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 21:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

I need more similarities. The first set of comparison diffs is good. The second one needs more elaboration as it's missing a companion link or diff. I need to see where Engboy142 or one of the blocked socks also uploaded the same file. Even with that, if the two accounts prove to belong to the same person, the captain account would become the master as it was created over two months earlier than Engboy142. Please review the captain's entire editing history so I can see more connections. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:29, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. You're losing me. In your latest post above you say that an edit by the listed account is in line with the edits of other socks, but you don't give me a comparison diff of one or more of those socks. In addition, what puppet does the the uploaded file match the name of? I didn't file another report myself except as a procedural matter because there were two masters involved (look at the archive for the names). Finally, I need more than just a "hunch" to even request a CU.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * My turn to apologize (slapping myself on the head). When I looked at the archives, I simply didn't scroll down far enough to see the TheVoiceYouthSeries confirmation. Meanwhile, let's wait to see what Risker has to say.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:55, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

. This is unusual for me. I've already indeffed the new puppet based on duck, although I have not yet tagged the account. However, I'd like a CU for sleepers. This account was created before the last account was blocked, and I assume a CU would have discovered it, saving us some trouble. In case there are others out there, a CU would be handy. Of course, it would also give us the technical confirmation that I don't think we actually need.

As far as I know,, there is no way to preemptively block new socks. I've seen edit filters used but only to prevent socks from editing certain pages (the time I saw that was for IP socking). There may be something else out there, but that's all I'm aware of.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:25, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

that the following users are related: Although there is some technical evidence that these users are the same person, there's also some technical evidence that indicates that they may not be. Before blocking, a proper analysis of the edits of Mussomusic should be done to see if they are actually disruptive and match with the sockmaster; if that's not the case, then the users are probably unrelated. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 01:44, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * sorry for the multiple pings, but was there any finding with respect to Tothegameeasports?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:22, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't look to see if there is technical evidence that Tothegameeasports is a sockpuppet, because the account is already blocked and it wasn't requested that I do so. Besides, checkuser is not great at disproving allegations so it's bad form to do such checks. Instead, I performed the sleeper check on both accounts as requested and my results were listed above. So I guess I'm not sure what you're asking me. Could you clarify? And don't worry about pinging me, I'm happy to answer questions. :-) --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 23:44, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Nothing to clarify. You've done so, and I thought that might be your answer. I'll just tag the account based on my own behavioral analysis.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:48, 1 February 2015 (UTC)


 * for clarity, the diffs you list for Mussomusic match only the first set of diffs "above". Do you have any additional diffs like those of a confirmed puppet, although given that we are attempting to establish a connection between Mussomusic and Schrawzennegereasports, I can probably deal with what you've got.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:37, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
 * They match the second set, as well, showing their changes within infoboxes concerning judges to reality music competition series.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 14:30, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Poor, you usually post in your own section. You must be getting tired out. :-) I'm still having trouble with this one. When I was looking at the "urgency" issue below, I actually saw edits by the new puppet that were virtually identical to other blocked accounts. Do you have any diffs like those (one of each)? That would help. This account also hasn't edited since January 23.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:04, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Frankly,, I don't see why your explanation makes this urgent. As far as I can tell, though, it does make extra work for you because you have to revert many of the puppet's edits. In any event, I was hoping to hear from Deskana before taking action, but she apparently hasn't been on-wiki since February 1. Therefore, I've blocked based on duck.

Targets the same pages of previously blocked socks (as of May 22 they've only edited Ricky Wilson and The Voice Brasil), however, editing patterns mirror previous block's editing patterns, including mass-genre change without discussion or citing sources. Is there nothing to keep this user from continually re-joining? They always re-join within twenty-four hours of receiving their permanent block.

User's activity picked up immediately following previous sock's block. Name follows previous patterns of Marvel Comics-related material, matched with a year at the end of their user-name. User also targets the same articles as previous blocks. It is ridiculous the pattern of behavior this editor insists on exhibiting, in continuing to evade their block, and their continued registering on this website. They are clearly not here to edit in a proper manner, as exhibited by their behavior.
