These three users have all been blocked as sockpuppets of each other. They have all edited Foodporn, and all come from Australia. JohnathonJ has admitted socking with GaryAblett05 but Hazelsletterings consistently denies any association with the other two accounts. Slashme (talk) 07:24, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Adding what I posted at Hazelsletterings' talk page during the open unblock requests: Hazelsletterings and JohnathonJ were created as accounts within days of each other. In the entire account history of JohnathonJ, their only edits to Foodporn were 4 days after Hazel first edits there. Gary... first edits there 5 days after that and never edits again there after a few days later. At Food porn, all editing by Gary and JohnathonJ take place within a month's span July to August 2019. Gary edits first, then Hazel a day later, then the same pattern of 4 days later JohnathonJ editing and 5 days later Gary editing.

Now we add in the odd coincidence that after not editing since February 2020 when blocked, JohnathonJ is now requesting unblock while Hazelsletterings is.

Their edits at food porn and food porn are similar, too, as are their edit styles, including frequent use of minor edits greater than the norm. Among similar edits:
 * Hazel, "Added citations and removed unsubstantiated text"
 * Gary, "Replaced previous, unsubstantiated references..."


 * JohnathonJ, "Distinguished between the concept and the brand"
 * Hazel, "Food porn" is the concept and "Foodporn" is the company"

To me, this is a clear duck situation and checkuser is unnecessary. only (talk) 11:08, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

All of these are ✅ as one individual. Please move this under Hamaze01 which is the oldest account.  Maxim (talk)  17:27, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Sorry if this is vague but I don't want to spill all the beans (and it involves some slight offwiki evidence) however, PP has been pushing Gloss Media in it's various spammy forms, into mainspace and draft space. The article is blatantly fabricated and is actually an arm of FOODPORN GROUP LTD (this is where the offwiki evidence comes in, should it be needed) however they are finishing the job of JohnathonJ and Garyablett05 here.

 * And as another piece of evidence, PP has been repeatedly and disruptively edited articles to appear productive but are really just vandalizing by repeating sections, see examples:

              . Which is what Hungryhippo, who was confirmed also did, among others. Praxidicae (talk) 17:53, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Submitting a draft on Gloss Media, which has been previously flacked by Hamaze01 socks. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:00, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * - to keep previous socks from all going stale, so that further checks and socks can be chained back to the master. Also for a sleeper check, as previous sleepers have been found in this case (e.g. Flyinghigherground). This seems WP:DUCKy and is probably either sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, so I've blocked already without tags pending CU. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 00:16, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Gamed ECP with a bunch of repetitive wikilinking edits (see contribs), then reinstated the article at Foodporn, the usual target of this sockfarm. Obvious sock or meat. Spicy (talk) 07:01, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Yep, and the gaming pattern here reminds me of . - almost certainly UPE, please check whether this one is of the sock or the meat variety and look for sleepers. The archives may be stale, but there should be a decent amount of log data. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 09:43, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Nothing 100% conclusive, but definitely based on what can be inferred from the CU log. Combined with the behavioral evidence, it looks like a WP:DUCK to me., closing. Mz7 (talk) 20:42, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
