Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Clear pattern of disruptive and unsourced editing. Usual areas of interest are trains and public transit (mostly Canada-related), shopping centres, and television series. 162 etc. (talk) 15:25, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Sleeper check proves all three of these are ✅, but was fruitless in finding anything else snoozing. Archiving. Courcelles (talk) 13:05, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Account created shortly after this one was blocked. Same areas of interest, same unsourced and unhelpful contributions. 162 etc. (talk) 08:41, 26 July 2023 (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.  Spicy (talk) 00:04, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Trying to clean out old cases, and I honestly think this is approaching duck territory. Checkuser says ✅.  Will block/tag/close. Courcelles (talk) 14:16, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Back again with more useless edits to transit-related articles. Username similar to some prior accounts. 162 etc. (talk) 05:43, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Same pattern of unsourced and non-factual edits on articles regarding Canadian retailers and transit. User:Evbot99 was created the day after User:Dead Malls was blocked, which I don't believe is a coincidence at all. The former also uses the "Ev" prefix seen in some of the previous sock accounts. 162 etc. (talk) 17:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * These accounts are ✅ to each other, and to, already blocked as a sock from this case. Don't see any others. Blocking and tagging, closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  22:27, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Somehow I don't think this is a coincidence. 162 etc. (talk) 01:01, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * To add, User:Evpac99 has been active in making unsourced edits to Canadian rail and transit articles, much as the previous sock accounts did. 162 etc. (talk) 15:49, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Unsurprisingly ✅ to various past accounts. This one was created through ACC which seems like a bit of an oversight. Spicy (talk) 15:52, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
