 * I'm adding two users to this, as their sole edits were to come on to the AfD for the Warx2 article and argue for retaining it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:51, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Adding another user who had been involved with one of the previously speedied versions. They haven't edited since December, but I figure it'd be worth checking into just in case. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:56, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't have to wait for CU to block all these as socks (and possibly meats). The edit contributions are clear, but so is the style of the edits: they sign (incorrectly) the same way, use the same punctuation and capitalization, etc. Ducks. Oh, all blocks indefinite (though not infinite) since these are all promotional as well. Drmies (talk) 02:06, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Since all editors are blocked, I'm marking this case for closure. --  At am a  頭 20:56, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm opening up a new SPI for this person. Like the last sock, this account signed up to create the article WARx2. The article makes similar claims as prior socks did, most notably that it won a PBS award that does not exist. Long story short, it's a post that aggregated awards given elsewhere and not an award itself - which was verified by the person who writes that particular blog/post for PBS. (In other words, the claims of winning an award was a lie, one that I also note that the PBS writer did not appreciate.) Their only non-Warx2 edit was this one, which mentions military suicides - the topic of the Warx2 film. This looks to be a pretty clear WP:DUCK scenario.

I'm not a sock puppet and I don't know guputa1111, and I'm not related to the film, I just happen to see the film and I thought it deserve a Wikipedia page. as for general Shinseki, I saw his clips in this movie regarding military suicides. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katymall (talk • contribs) 19:49, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You make very similar claims as the other puppets have, that the film is notable and that it won a PBS award that does not exist. You also knew to go around the other, salted article and your only edits have been to create this article and about military suicide in general. Given that there is a history of sockpuppetry and promotion with this film, I find it very difficult to believe that you are a completely separate person.
