Suspected sockpuppets
A series of disruptive edits to Pixel Bath all with the same purpose of changing/adding unsourced genres. Three different accounts with clear similarities in username which all have only made these specific edits to this specific article, all within the last month. QuietHere (talk) 19:17, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Forgot to link the edits, those would be these three . The only other edit between the three accounts is this one which is just capitalising a letter. QuietHere (talk) 22:53, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Also worth noting that all three accounts were created the same day as their respective edits, seen here, here, and here. QuietHere (talk) 22:55, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

User:WingoBingo9191919 and User:CryingMyEyesOutSis80098 have made the same edits as were previously made on Pixel Bath but on the Jean Dawson page this time (see here and here). Usernames follow the same pattern and subject is directly related (Pixel Bath is an album by Jean Dawson). QuietHere (talk) 13:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * ( original case name)

Similar username format as previous socks, same unsourced genres violation to the same subject. This time it's Jean Dawson's latest album Chaos Now while previously it was his article and that of his other album. See here. Might need to take stronger measures given this is the sixth account that has been added to this investigation. QuietHere (talk) 05:58, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

 * - The edits and timing are suggestive, but given the low edit count, we could use a check. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 11:30, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Same edits as before. They brought a source this time but it's clearly still the same person. Special:Contributions/CryingForTheDayWeSwitch8919 + Special:Contributions/CrypoManicanBiy81991. QuietHere (talk) 06:12, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Applied for indefinite page protection but I may as well ask anyway: is there anything more that can be done than just blocking individual accounts? Given this is the fourth round of this investigation, it seems apparent that previous measures have been ineffective at stopping the problem. QuietHere (talk) 09:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Same edits as before. Same modus operandi, same style of username, same everything. Requesting CheckUser this time as it was requested by a clerk previously for a similar case. QuietHere (talk) 05:18, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Yep, see diff from previous sock. - according to the archive, the master often uses many accounts at once. A sleeper check seems like a good idea. Spicy (talk) 19:40, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * These are all ✅ to each other and to the batch  found in 09 February 2023.  I'll block them but leave the tagging up to a clerk.   -- RoySmith (talk) 22:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
