Significant overlap at Dan Huberty. The same kind editing interest and behavioral similarities are evident here. was blocked 48 hours for editing warring on 23:56, 8 August 2017. The account then stopped editing, as was previously created on 14:38, 8 August 2017 before the edit warring. The newly created account continued to push for the same negative BLP information at Dan Huberty. I think all of the evidence is strong enough for duck, but the main reason why I am filing is because I don't believe PoliticalPoster007 is a sockmaster account. However, I could not find convincing similarities in other older accounts in the same area of interest, so I was hoping CU evidence could reveal if there is a sockfarm.

 * Adding to the report, the recent edits made by in 1 and 2 to the user page of a newly created account is another megaphone duck to me. I've blocked the newly created account for the time being and added the account name to the suspected list. Alex ShihTalk 04:45, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Although I don’t see direct evidence, like user A is barred and user B appears continuing…, there are DUCK indications. It’s a minor article about a minor pol, and yet multiple new, editors are heavily pushing the same POV in the same abrasive manner. Up to a CU to decide.

 * It appears Dan Huberty has been problematic since it was first published in substantially complete from March 25, 2014. The author Bill Hathorn (since banned) included the discussion of religion and children's names from the start. On December 22, 2015, JM20927 added the drunk subject video for the first time. An edit war ensued. On Jan 20, 2016 Clorox replaced the video. Mrfordsclass replaced it again Feb 11, 2016, and July 9, 2016. Clorox replaced the video Oct 7, 2016 and April 18, 2017. Uncle Milty added it back July 28, 2017. PoliticalPoster007 replaced it on August 2, 2017 (twice).
 * Separately, a paragraph about Empower Texans and a line about the subject's church membership were the projectiles in low grade edit war involving 184.7.101.231 and PoliticalPoster007. Uncle Milty, Daren smith, HCF95 and Azeroth92 joined the fight. SlackerDelphi started the commotion about Hurricane Harvey. And there we are. Rhadow (talk) 20:24, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * The previous Rhadow statement is a lie. I |I reverted one bulk deletion that had no justification, it didn't mention his church membership at all, the deletion wasn't supported by consensus, and the material added relevant third-party insights to the article. Rhadow has been engaged in nonstop abuse on the talk page, I'd like to note, and I'm moving on to other editing projects, but this is just an outright lie about this disagreement was about adding family members. HCF95 (talk) 20:41, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello HCF95 -- This is a sockpuppet discussion. If you don't share an IP address with anyone here, you can ignore it. Your name didn't come up on the BLP discussion. That's where the discussions on reversions and reliable sources will happen, I hope, since the talk page didn't work. Rhadow (talk) 20:53, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * The only contribution from HCF95 was the revert he mentions above and a warning template he dropped on my talk page. At the time this looked like support for Azeroth92 in his ongoing edit war, and that was my first reaction, but I later concluded I was being over hasty in my suspicions.  In any event I don't see any obvious reason to include him here. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 21:03, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

First edit was to re-create the Thomas McNutt bio using the same partisan "empowertexans" content the sockmaster used before. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 02:11, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

 * as the IPs locate to the same place but I was unable to compare UAs as all the accounts in the archive are stale.
 * Blocked as speech pattern and behavioral patterns is a strong match. Tagging is no longer necessary I think. Closing. Alex Shih (talk) 06:05, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
