Today the sock was blocked, along with several other socks. The recent interaction between this most current sock and the alleged sockpuppeteer can be seen here. What drew this to my attention is the rapidity of the puppeteer commenting on the pages for Rose Tobias Shaw and John Glennon (actor and writer), along with the language used in the subsequent AfD's for both.

 * I've got no strings on me.
 * I recall no similarities between that user's writing and my own. Please provide examples if you can find any.
 * I'm active in the AfD space and have been for a couple of years. I generally stick to the arts and entertainment; I specialize in mid-20th century biographies and works. *The accuser recently encountered me when I deprodded several articles created by HistoricalAccountings, including one on BFI award-winning casting director Rose Tobias Shaw, as I find prodding of articles with legs on which to stand problematic.
 * I use the Wikipedia library. Been using this account (and no other) at least several times per week for a good 3 years at least. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 02:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Merged to oldest account associated with the CU blocked sock. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 20:20, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I see no evidence that these accounts are related. The editing patterns and edit summaries are different, as is the general demeanour and writing style; HistoricalAccountings went on regular semi-auto sprees, DiamondRemley39 does not appear to use any such tools. Two similar votes at AfD (the only evidence presented) are insufficient to suspect sockpuppetry here. Closing without action. Blablubbs&#124;talk 21:30, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Comment on Articles for deletion/Alan Chuntz, very similar to comments made by another sock of the puppeteer, HistoricalAccountings, at another AfD, Articles for deletion/Peppi Borza. Curious that this potential sock even references that discussion in their comments, although their history shows no evidence they participated in that discussion.

 * I'm not convinced - the /64 (Special:Contributions/2A00:23C6:D884:6401::/64) shows a fair amount of activity and it doesn't especially look like FlyboyExeter/HistoricalAccountings, just an active anonymous editor. Closed without action. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:00, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
