WP:DUCK. On Talk:2012 Aurora shooting, attempting to give the appearance of additional support for conspiracy theories. Both accounts have pushed the exact same sources. VQuakr (talk) 17:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Not enough evidence to block. Just two common pages edited. No obviously connecting edits. Closing the case with no action.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Shared interest in Cooper Union financial crisis and tuition protests after, which as been recently targeted by signed IP edits from the same sock master. Requesting CU to check for sleepers. VQuakr (talk) 22:07, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

 * The account you listed has no edits.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:47, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually,, it seems they have edits but they were oversighted. See -- might be best to consult an OS. :) ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  00:53, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * How'd you hunt that down? Can you handle this one? Or ?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:58, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * When on the userpage, since it doesn't exist, Mediawiki helpfully provides a "View or restore one deleted edit?" link. In fact, the account itself says it is not registered, which means it was vanished/OS'ed entirely -- see Bureaucrats' noticeboard. I would suggest that there is nothing to do here and that this report is better off closed, and not archived. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  01:02, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, the account does exist. It is locked globally. We can't just keep a closed SPI around. What's the point of not archiving it?--Bbb23 (talk) 01:34, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * If the username itself is OS'able, I strongly suspect these revisions mentioning the username might be as well. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  02:00, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Crikey, you are right! Is there an OS on this yet? Sorry! VQuakr (talk) 02:09, 12 September 2015 (UTC)


 * All done here. I've closed the SPI and redacted the SPI, sorry the the suppression everyone. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:47, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

On 2012 Aurora shooting re-added the same conspiracy theory stuff that Ferociouslettuce did back in 2015:. A review of this history shows the material being recently added by a range of IP's until the article was semi'd, at which point the account was created and started restoring the same content as soon as it was autoconfirmed. It could be different people behind the keyboard who happen to visit the same conspiracy sites, but the pattern (if not the exact words used) seem very similar.

He also pinged user InedibleHulk in a talk page post despite no previous interactions with that editor; Ferociouslettuce had lots of interactions with Hulk back in 2015 (to be clear, I am not making any assertion regarding Hulk's behavior here).

Though it doesn't appear to have been a factor in his block, Ferocious admitted using meatpuppets here.

Finally, Jeh4u obviously has edited here before, exhibiting knowledge of several deletion processes within minutes of his first edit. VQuakr (talk) 01:18, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
