See. Also, User Page for each seems to be written in same voice, and Dollarseven was created after Fryboy editor blocked. Dollarseven's first action was to post on Fryboy Editor's talk page. rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 17:33, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Does not seem malicious – if they edit in mainspace, that's a different story. I would just block the sock and leave the master as is now. Skarmory  (talk •   contribs)  21:49, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

 * There's no doubt that it's the same editor, but given that this account is literally posting on the master's talk page and asking why they've been blocked, this looks more like a case of extreme cluelessness rather than a malicious attempt to evade sanctions. - please indefinitely soft-block Dollarseven as a sockpuppet of Fryboy Editor; I don't see a need to upgrade the partial block on Fryboy Editor at this time, though any further socking is likely to result in harsher sanctions. Thanks.   Spicy (talk) 18:09, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * the sock as suggested, closing. Mz7 (talk) 07:45, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

It really hurts me to do this, because I honestly think he/you (if you're reading this) had a good chance to come back with an unblock request and be constructive. I would request leniency here, but I'm not sure it can be given by now.

However, the editing patterns here are fairly obvious. The user page is written somewhat similarly to both Fryboy Editor and Dollarseven (one or two short sentences), which was the thing that convinced me, and the editing history also is quite similar. They also have a very heavy use of minor edits and not much use of edit summaries, with a fixation on infoboxes. There's also some page crossover here: Pet Supplies Plus, Fazoli's, and Carvel (franchise) were all edited by both, and possibly more. Skarmory  (talk •   contribs)  17:39, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

 * ✅. They have only just had one sock blocked, and should be aware that they are not permitted to evade their block - indeffing both accounts.  Girth Summit  (blether)  18:02, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Created shortly after was blocked. Same interest in fast food pages ( etc.), very unconvincing denial on userpage. Spicy (talk) 06:15, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

It's not technically a sock, per a request for help retrieving an old account that was posted at the help desk [], but this user also edited under the name User:12welveon13rteen. TimTempleton (talk) (cont)  19:15, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

The New York City IP range Special:Contributions/2601:41:C402:26E0:0:0:0:0/64 has been active in the same manner as Fryboy Editor. The most revealing behavioral pairing is seen in these two diffs of Hartz Chicken, matching blocked sock Prime Editor 1974.

The previous IP range may be seen at Special:Contributions/2601:41:C401:4E90:0:0:0:0/64.

Checkuser not needed. The behavioral match is a slam dunk. Binksternet (talk) 01:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Very obviously them, and they've been doing it for a while. /64 blocked for six months. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:33, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Fryboy Editor and socks are interested in restaurants, corporations, and music articles. Fryboy Editor and socks have added "LLC" to several articles in the same manner as 69.242.46.240.

Fryboy Editor made insistent comments about music, such as "This IS NOT a Pop, R&B song." 12welveon13rteen does the same thing ("Travie McCoy's We'll be alright is an interpolation NOT a sample") as does 69.242.46.240 ("He is a rapper.")

Edits by 69.242.46.240 have often followed by IPs of the sockpuppet range Special:Contributions/2601:41:C402:26E0:0:0:0:0/64, and vice versa. Binksternet (talk) 23:32, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Gave the IP a long term block. Re-report the stale account if it ever reactivates. Closing case. Sro23 (talk) 03:31, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
