There is a new copy-editing request at WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests by, a new editor who may or may not fit the sock profile. This sock has been obsessed with making requests to other editors for help with the Maureen Wroblewitz article, so the account fits that profile, at least. I find it suspicious that an editor who has made no contributions to the article would state "Attampting [sic] to pass B-Class review". It seems like an editor who has had an account for just two weeks would be unlikely to know what a B-class review was. I have checked the editor's contributions, and nearly all of them have been small but detrimental changes to grammar. Nearly all have been reverted (by myself and others). – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:26, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

 * - Please merge this report into Sockpuppet investigations/Angela Criss. Bbb23 (talk) 14:45, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Striking. This was likely because of a bad cut-and-paste on my part. This SPI can be closed...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I see that G-locked the account as Angela Criss, but how are they related? I have them consistently editing from different continents and see zero behavioural overlap.--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:47, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I was told they were Angela per the enwiki tag and at m:Special:Permalink/22462950. If it's something different, then I can definitely reconsider my lock for Limpae also. I usually try and rely on blocks, but when I only have the tag, the CU aspect is something I guess I need to ask for more of to verify.--  Amanda  (aka DQ) 19:36, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe Edmyoa and the rest of the group listed by JavaHurricane got caught up in the same VPN? I don't know how else they could have been linked. I'm reasonably certain that they're two different masters (i.e. Edmyoa is not related to the obvious Angela Criss socks on the Meta link provided).-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:44, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I asked Osh about these tags as well. He changed them to Haiyenslna on second look. I do not know Angela Criss, is there evidence Haiyenslna is them? -- ferret (talk) 19:22, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Ferret! I'd have to take another look - I'll do that tonight when I get home. It could be that I just pasted the wrong account into the template, though I'm not sure how I would've managed to do that...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * FWIW, I have followed this sock for a while, and to me, the description of Angela Criss's edits look nothing like this sock's edits. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:45, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's I figured. I think I believed that I had copied the username of the sockmaster - I probably just pasted what was previously in my clipboard and didn't notice.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:50, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Very first edit is to Akane Yamaguchi, prolific target of sockmaster. No mass canvassing this time, yet. Inserting duplicate information about rewards received which are already mentioned in the career section. Several IP users recently targeted the page, all of which were handled at AIV. X750.
