Suspected sockpuppets
its very very likely a sock of User:Terry g. bishop but that account is stale

both users are obsessed with putting the parameter "protegé of" into the infobox of rappers (1, 2) and the birth places of people into their short descriptions (1, 2). Both mobile edits only FMSky (talk) 06:16, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Both are. Closing with no action against Pillow da Don given the inactivity and the new accounts I found, which suggests they're a different person. If they become active again and there's more evidence, feel free to refile. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:14, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Same large country, but not much else similar. Would call this at maximum based on CU evidence. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 12:37, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

The first edit of YorkHulse was to flesh out a newly added infobox module listing the rapper as a "Protègè of" another rapper. That section had been added by Florida IP 108.188.130.74 a several times a week prior and then again by Florida IP 108.188.45.93 just a few minutes prior, with the edit summary "Made an account" indicating that this is a continuation of editing from IP to registered username.

Previous socks were edit-warring to insert infobox modules of various sorts including the unique fingerprint "Protègè of" and "Frequent collaborators". YorkHulse also added an infobox module named "Frequent collaborators".

Checkuser requested to sweep for sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 04:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)


 * For correction, the IPs mentioned above are from Colorado, not Florida. ToadetteEdit  (chat)/(logs) 06:38, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Both of the IPs appear to be from the area of Orlando, Florida. I used whatismyipaddress.com and db-ip.com to confirm. Binksternet (talk) 14:13, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Adding per FMSky. Beatru added the infobox module "Protègè of" which is unique to this sockpuppet case. Binksternet (talk) 14:15, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Obvious case. If someone adds "Protege of" into the infobox its 100% him. No other user has ever done it. --FMSky (talk) 13:42, 7 August 2023 (UTC) Also here is another sock: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jadakiss&diff=prev&oldid=1165241662 --FMSky (talk) 14:03, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

 * ✅ to the master:
 * . Still looking for others. --Blablubbs (talk) 14:12, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * There's also . Additionally, this could possibly be Sockpuppet investigations/MusicLover650/Archive, but I'm not familiar enough with that case (and our music sockers in general) to make a definitive statement about that. Either way, I'm blocking the ones above.  --Blablubbs (talk) 14:21, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved case to oldest account, tagged socks, no action with IPs as they are long stale. Not going to look into a case merge at this point but if more conclusive evidence emerges it can be revisited. Closing. Spicy (talk) 16:49, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
