All of the accounts are involved in one way or another with creating episode guides for a fake TV show called "Triton Henderson". See previous sockpuppet cases where one of the accounts was even named User:List of Triton Henderson episodes. AS to the specifics for each account: User:GenoRobinsonWood is using its sandbox for an episode guide. user:TheFinaleAccount has an episode guide sandbox. user:TheFinaleAccount2 has an episode guide sandbox. user:TheFinaleAccount3 has an episode guide sandbox. user:LAmericanWeekendPizza2013 has an episode guide sandbox. user:SuperpediaWeekends400 has edited the TheFinaleAccount2/sandbox and the TheFinaleAccount/sandbox sandbox. user:GiftedTeen2014 asked a question at the Teahouse on fake episode guides as part of a series of questions some of which came from TheFinaleAccount3 and AmericanWeekendPizza2013.

Continually asking the same disruptive questions at Teahouse/Questions about writing fictional episode lists, despite having been told numerous times that this isn't what Wikipedia is for, and having previously been blocked after doing the same under the various GenoCool2016 socks such as David Biddulph (talk) 20:54, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

 * I've blocked GoldForTheWin0000 and THXGold2004 per an ANI discussion. Not patrolling this, but this seems to be the same guy.  The two I blocked created sandbox articles for a TV show that sounded like a spinoff of what GenoCool2016 was focused on (characters named "Triton").  Maybe CU for sleepers?

 * - I'm shunting this to the CU-requested pile, because on the one hand, based on behavioral evidence, : see   against previous confirmed sock TheBetterAccount2016 – a strong enough connection to usually foreclose CU. On the other, this is a user with a history of a lot of socks that CU might uncover sleepers on; we've previously missed socks on Geno without CU.

User's edits are almost exclusively to User:BoldCheeseSauce20390/sandbox - the sandbox of a confirmed GenoCool2016 sock. It sounds like they might be off to Wikia, but I'm not holding my breath. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:31, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

This seems consistent with GenoCool's socks. The 20 April 2016 report mentions the problems with pointless questions at the Teahouse and more mention is made in the report submitted the next day. In his only post BlueBloodiceking2555 says Back in April of this year I tried making (fictional)episode guides on my sandbox page. Clearly this is yet another sock. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 14:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
